9:38 am
because he just seemed like wooden well and tense. >> it's extraordinary to me to see him over the weekend and making these sort of hints and implying he was going to do various things and already this morning they're briefing that they're not going to touch inheritance tax and i fear i mean, it's a very big week for rishi sunak because apart from the autumn statement , there's the autumn statement, there's also going to be the net immigration figures come out on thursday, and that's going to raise the number one issue, which is immigration. again, to the forefront. and i think by the forefront. and i think by the end of the week, rishi may well be wishing he out with well be wishing he was out with nigel the jungle because it nigel in the jungle because it might less daunting than it might be less daunting than it is here because what they're not doing is anything bold and they're terrified of their own shadow . so the they're shadow. so the reason they're not doing inheritance tax, which they should abolish, it's simple . abolish it. why should you pay tax on stuff you've already paid? yeah, you've earned it. you've saved it, and you've paid tax on how you've earned it. why
9:39 am
be hit again ? it's deeply unfair be hit again? it's deeply unfair and it would also help growth for the young. but the problem is they say they're worried that the labour party will say, oh, it's you're just helping out the rich. so so again, this shows you that both parties are terrified of doing anything significant because it might rock the boat . and i mean, the rock the boat. and i mean, the conservatives are so far behind, they've got to do something bold and strong. they need to cut personal tax. they need to cut corporation tax. these should these are measures that should be done. what i fear is he's going to tinker. he might raise the vat threshold for some of the vat threshold for some of the small businesses as he might tinker with national insurance. but for the average person, the voter and particular those member , the electorate in the member, the electorate in the red wall areas, they're not going to see any palpable difference. they're also going to hint, i think, that he might do more in spring next year if
9:40 am
the economy still holds its. >> but i don't understand the pr strategy here, piers, because for weeks there's been no no tax cuts, absolutely no possibility. >> then suddenly all of a sudden , we've had reports about inheritance tax, which we now say have gone by the board and yesterday he was showing so much ankle . so if there are tax cuts ankle. so if there are tax cuts on wednesday , yeah, the surprise on wednesday, yeah, the surprise element is gone. but are people really going to think, oh great, the tories are cutting our taxes , having shoved us, lumbered us with the biggest tax burden in 70 years? yeah well, i don't think they're going to do that because as both sunak and hunt are very cautious and they they actually have a one off opportunity to do something. >> neither of them are . and that >> neither of them are. and that is become popular and they could do this if hunt was bold. but he's not going to be i don't think he's going to be as bold. the stock market went up on friday by 90 points when he started hinting when the real
9:41 am
buzz started about tax cuts. i fear it might go right back again after the statement on wednesday. and then we're going to get this immigration hit. i think it's going to be a very rocky week for rishi and it depend, of course, luckily , depend, of course, luckily, rachel reeves on the labour party side has blotted her copybook with her plagiarism and also her act, quite frankly , also her act, quite frankly, lack of any policies or explaining, being able to explaining, being able to explain how she's going to fund any of the poisonous things the labour party might do to us. and so it's, i think, a gloomy week. i mean, i'd to love see them be bold and do something conservative, win back conservative, win back conservative voters if they want to do that, they've got to do something conservative. >> you see, it's so obvious what you say pierced in a way. it's so obvious to all of us that people are really feeling the financial hardship and it will be such an easy gift to the voter to help people out in some
9:42 am
way. we can see it. why can't they? what why is he why is particularly jeremy hunt being so careful ? so careful? >> well, i think he's trying to keep inflation. >> they all get all chancellors get . rather sidetracked and from get. rather sidetracked and from their own vision by the civil servants in the treasury and the civil servants in the treasury do not like doing one thing, and that's spending money they want to keep the money. they're always cautious , they're always always cautious, they're always err on the side of pessimism. they don't want to unleash the money. and after all the austerity we've had, they're going to be saying, don't, don't give away anything because it's still a very fragile economy. it is , to some degree, a brave is, to some degree, a brave chancellor takes on the treasury. of course he does. and a brave chancellor also one who actually i mean, if they have any any intent on of winning the
9:43 am
next election, they've got to do something big. and if they can't do it in the autumn statement, they've got to commit to it next yeah >> but we also saw at the weekend, i think, of david cameron talking about as our new foreign secretary, increasing the budgets . the foreign aid budgets. >> yes. >> yes. >> and at that point, i just thought i can't remember a time when those at the top of government are so far removed and detached from ordinary people. >> well, david cameron's always been keen on foreign aid, something that eludes me. i must say, because as it's some sort of weird obsession, he has about this and as you quite rightly say, bev, who on earth in this country at the moment gives a, quite frankly, a fig for overseas aid when we are all suffering, we're all struggling , suffering, we're all struggling, we're all having to tie, you know , and tighten our belts know, and tighten our belts forward , planning and worrying forward, planning and worrying about things like inheritance tax. >> because for me, that is particularly interesting because
9:44 am
a lot of people now are the elderly actually , they may not elderly actually, they may not have much cash, but they were lucky enough to get on the property ladder. so it's a bit of a myth, actually, that inheritance tax now will only affect very because you affect the very rich because you can somebody in their 80s can have somebody in their 80s who has got a house worth a lot of they would love to of money that they would love to hand to their grandchildren hand down to their grandchildren so that they could get on the property ladder. >> i think the >> i mean, i think the inheritance tax is about 9 billion get that. and billion they get from that. and only the country the only 4% of the country at the moment that. it it looks moment can pay that. it it looks like going up to 12% the way the economy is going. but you know, again, the conservatives could do something that is serious and meaningful. the only thing they've done is brexit, and they haven't really badly. they haven't really badly. they haven't handled that well since brexit. of course , you can argue brexit. of course, you can argue lockdown in ukraine and but they still haven't we haven't seen the benefits and the people want to see the benefits. but here's a one off opportunity inheritance tax is an absurd penalised tax and should be
9:45 am
abolished and they need to have the conviction even if they can't. if they're terrified about labour having a go at them , they shouldn't even be in government just just because we're under pressure on time. >> in two thousand and seven, when we thought gordon brown was going to rush for an early general election because he'd been over from blair been taken over from blair without way without an election. same way sunak george osborne, sunak took over george osborne, shadow the tory shadow chancellor at the tory conference said, conference in blackpool, said, i will raise the inheritance tax threshold from half 1 million to 1 million. roars of applause . 1 million. roars of applause. the tories soared in the polls and gordon brown called off the election. so it's a popular policy? >> yes, it is. >> it's more popular than people think. >> exactly. that's piers pottinger . now, commuters in pottinger. now, commuters in london. oh, it drives me nuts. i'm going to even more i'm going to face even more disruption today, that climate change just stop . oil are change lot. just stop. oil are out and about on the streets demanding the government stop all new licences for oil and gas i >> -- >> so let's go live to ray addison from london. morning ray. i think you're in trafalgar
9:46 am
square, aren't you? there you are. what's different about this protest today ? protest today? >> well, it's interesting. of course , if you're a motorist who course, if you're a motorist who needs to drive in london over the next week , then this could the next week, then this could be an absolute nightmare for you. there are going to be meeting here at trafalgar square every day for the next seven days at midday. every day for the next seven days at midday . and then they days at midday. and then they tell me from there they're going to be going on to another location, which they won't reveal, and they're going to be causing as much as much disruption possibly can. disruption as they possibly can. of course, they're urging people to join from over the to join them from all over the uk. if you think they uk. and if you think that they get can get hundreds of get they can get hundreds of people for relatively small protests that they do on on on smaller roads, then we could see disruption on a scale that we just simply cannot imagine and have not seen before. now i've been on these protests before as a reporter , and i've seen the a reporter, and i've seen the traffic brought to a standstill. i've seen the reaction time of the police and the anger from the police and the anger from the drivers. many of whom get
9:47 am
out of their cars and try and confront them. it can get a bit tense at times. and of course, i've seen myself personally how ambulances have been blocked. now just stop oil does have a policy to move out of the way for ambulance cars that do get blocked in their protests. and i have seen them actually move out of the way. however, it doesn't it doesn't negate the fact that that ambulance has been delayed in its journey until they realise that get out and that could you know, every second counts in the case of an emergency. see, they consider themselves to be taking part in civil resistance. they're likening themselves on their website to the freedom riders who helped to end segregation in the buses in the us in the in 1961. they say this is how martin luther king won civil rights in birmingham, alabama , rights in birmingham, alabama, in 1963. and they say that this these tactics , what they're these tactics, what they're going to be doing this week, this is how they will win. now
9:48 am
scheduled is scheduled for seven days. however i was chatting to one of the spokespeople earlier one of the spokespeople earlier on in breakfast, and he was he was telling me off camera, this is actually going to go on every day indefinitely , basically at day indefinitely, basically at this point until the government capitulate. of course, we do know that well over 2000 just stop oil activists have been arrested since they started doing these kind of activities in 2022, over 130, well over 130 have ended up doing some sort of prison time as well . have ended up doing some sort of prison time as well. in have ended up doing some sort of prison time as well . in fact, prison time as well. in fact, one of the things that they offer, or jokingly on their website to activists, they say we'll give you a free prison breakfast if you come and join in this kind of disruption . the in this kind of disruption. the police have been given additional powers to try and deal with activists like just stop oil on the 14th of june 2023, government them 2023, the government gave them those additional powers to tackle these slow walking protests . it just tackle these slow walking protests. it just remains to be seen how quickly they inter react and use those powers to
9:49 am
get these people out of the roads today and the rest of this week. >> hey, ray, look at those people on the floor with nothing better to do. honestly right. you have been getting in touch this morning. thank you very much. andrew pierce what are you doing? the telly. stop. >> i'm trying to find me running. order so. >> oh, here it is , everyone. >> oh, here it is, everyone. you've been emailing in keith. keith emailed in. we did say we wanted a linda and a keith. keith says the just stop oil are telling everyone to travel to london for the march. sounds like a good plan. typical of these idiots that can use cars but buses, trains, planes where oil clothing oil based clothing they are a joke. why not march on all the airports as they pay not tax on aviation fuel ? linda, are these aviation fuel? linda, are these people really keith and linda is ev eryone? everyone? >> i'm sceptical, linda says. >> i'm sceptical, linda says. >> i'm sceptical, linda says. >> i just wanted to say i will be voting for nigel every time as i'd love him to win. i normally wouldn't entertain voting on shows, but for this i'm for gb news you have my vote every time. thank you, keith. thank linda . thank you,
9:50 am
thank you, linda. thank you, anthony, dec and keith . anthony, dec and keith. >> and if you'd like to come on, we'd love to see you right as we know, as we've just been saying, farage his jungle farage started his jungle journey a celebrity. >> and as it returned to our screens, you didn't have to wait long to get into the action. >> getting involved with snake >> getting involved with a snake trial away trial straight away before finally his fellow finally meeting his fellow campmates. of campmates. towards the end of the first episode and no surprise end of the surprise at the end of the episode, and said the episode, ant and dec said the pubuc episode, ant and dec said the public voted for to nigel public had voted for to nigel complete bus. complete the next bus. >> took called >> bush took a trial called jungle pizzeria. >> well, we're joined now by entertainment reporter eddie phillips . ellie, entertainment reporter eddie phillips. ellie, morning you phillips. ellie, morning to you now , i have my own theory about now, i have my own theory about this. it's not necessarily right that because someone is constantly called voted on to do the bushtucker trial, that people loathe them. it might be that they like them and want to see more them. what's your see more of them. what's your view? can either or. view? it can be either or. >> honestly, think last year >> honestly, i think last year we saw with matt hancock, it was definitely a case of people wanted to suffer and wanted to see him suffer and that was without doubt what was going on. >> i think there's always there's sometimes a curve as
9:51 am
well. so at the moment i would say with some with kind say with some people, with kind of the furore around nigel of all the furore around nigel farage going into the jungle, it could be that they want to see what made if he can what he's made of, see if he can hackit. what he's made of, see if he can hack it . and but surprisingly, hack it. and but surprisingly, for a lot of viewers who maybe never seen him before or don't know who he is, he was really, really calm in the kind of challenge he was put through when they were dropped in the middle of the outback and also he's put this challenge he's being put in this challenge tonight bushtucker trial tonight in the bushtucker trial with an influencer , a youtuber with an influencer, a youtuber called nella rose, who is very screechy, very screamy, very dramatic, and so i think, you know, he will be compared to her, if you will, which is only going to help him in a way, because he's going to seem even more calm, even more collected. and so we'll see. i think you're right. there can reasons. right. there can be two reasons. it can either they're fans it can be either they're fans are like the more we get them on screen, the more challenges they do people will get do or the more people will get to them and like them. and to see them and like them. and that's good for them. and then on hand, it could be
9:52 am
on the other hand, it could be like, want to see like, no, we just want to see them punished. so at the them get punished. so at the moment, i think with nigel, it remains to be seen. >> else do you think is >> who else do you think is going to come across well on the series? ella, ellie okay, so it's okay. >> at the moment, ant i think >> so at the moment, ant i think it's interesting because some people the social media people take the social media reaction, but twitter is actually part of actually such a small part of kind of the viewership. so at the moment on social media, the people oh, sam people are like, oh, sam thompson, nella rose, those who are massive wild are very big, massive wild personalities seem to be doing well . but actually from from well. but actually from from previous series and from other shows who realised that what you see on social is such see on social media is such a small portion of what viewers actually so think actually think. so i think someone who might do really well is danielle, harold . she is an is danielle, harold. she is an actress from soaps. she did the high walking challenge yesterday . one of the first ones she faced her fear. she was clearly very nervous, but she held it together and did really well without really being too screechy and too over the top about it. i think she'll do really well . we know that josie
9:53 am
really well. we know that josie gibson's already doing really well. i mean, according to the latest ladbrokes odds, latest ladbrokes betting odds, josie gibson tipped to win. josie gibson is tipped to win. danielle harold comes second, and then you've got the likes of sam thompson from made in chelsea and fred siriex to come next. and nigel is currently in fifth so it remains to be fifth place. so it remains to be seen. but i think they're going to do quite well . to do quite well. >> okay. thanks, ellie. ellie phillips there. >> i'm sure we'll be talking to you this you again about this early because they say, because this one, as they say, runs and runs. >> i think it's compelling. >> i think it's compelling. >> love it. i've always loved >> i love it. i've always loved it, loved it from it, though. i've loved it from the first series. it's for me when i'm a celebrity stars, it means winter, it's autumn. means it's winter, it's autumn. it reason to kind of it gives you a reason to kind of snuggle down front of the snuggle down in front of the telly. do it in the evening. telly. you do it in the evening. yeah, i would do because yeah, i would do it because it'd be really nice get away from be really nice to get away from my phone and kids for three my phone and my kids for three weeks. yeah. >> and nice weather. >> and nice weather. >> although, although it was raining morning. raining this morning. >> love you dearly, >> sorry, i love you dearly, but, know, it would it but, you know, it would be it would be pretty amazing, right? still chancellor, still to come, the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is considering tax cuts for the autumn statement this after the uk economy

any moves that might fuel inflation. >> can you believe that? if we're going to be a dynamic, thriving, ing, energetic, fizzing economy, we need low tax and we need taxes to be lower than they are at the moment . than they are at the moment. we're not going to do anything in response able particularly by which i mean anything that fuels . inflation. >> so former editor of the daily star dawn neesom regular on gb news joins us in the studio now. he's in grave danger here dawn of over promising and under delivering now on taxes . delivering now on taxes. >> well yeah i mean it's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't basically i mean obviously the thing that developed over the weekend was the income tax , our possible the income tax, our possible cut, which he has denied all the way along that he was even considering. but obviously an extra £30 billion has been discovered by the office for budget responsibility. so they now think maybe that they can cut 1 or 2 off the income tax. however, then the cabinet are
10:06 am
saying, well, that could trigger inflation again. and there is that debate. you know , the most that debate. you know, the most important thing, i think he said over the weekend is that whatever happens, it was all signed off last night, by the way. it's just got to be approval now, andrew, you're the political expert here, so you know better than me. it was all signed off last night, evidently. and now needs to be approved. but you know, the one line you take from line you take away from everything and all the speculation over the weekend was that may defer, cut that they may defer, cut whatever cuts they may be, whether it's inheritance tax or income tax or winter fuel payments or national insurance or any of the other things they've discussed until the spnng they've discussed until the spring and if you take spring budget. and if you take anything away from it , it's the anything away from it, it's the statement from jeremy hunt at the weekend said rome wasn't built a day and that means built in a day and that means that basically everything we've speculated on, everything the papers have been full of all weekend. and, know, and weekend. and, you know, and there's many, you know, there's so many, you know, business business business tax or business vat stamp duty premium bonds even all but it will be
10:07 am
all discussed. but it will be mad if they do that for a number of reasons, dawn, because people need the money in their pocket how. >> now. >> and secondly, we could have an election in may because if the small boats rwanda issue is not resolved and i suspect it won't be, and if the numbers of migrants crossing the channel are multiplying throughout the summer, may election so get summer, a may election so we get these cuts april and these tax cuts in april and people think, did you did people will think, did you did we not see that? do we really are we really are we going to fall that? fall for that? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, such overt election bribe. >> yes . and that's what it >> yes. and that's what it sounds like. the thing is, sounds like. and the thing is, it's like, you know, it's like, you know, the inheritance tax, which big thing. it which is the big thing. it affects tiny percentage affects a tiny percentage of people. not going people. well, they're not going to john. i know they to do it, john. i know they won't do it because labour is ammunition then, ammunition for labour then, isn't actually use isn't it? you can actually use that you're helping the that as well. you're helping the rich than helping the rich rather than helping the majority, ignoring the fact that many people in london many of the people in london in the rich, who the south—east are not rich, who will fall into this. but, will also fall into this. but, you you know, you know, it's like you know, you know, it's like you know, you the migration you mentioned the migration policy obviously the nhs, policy and obviously the nhs, the waiting list. now like the waiting list. now it's like promising to income tax. is

10:10 am
mentioned these findings over the weekend that rishi sunak will become the could become the first prime minister to lose his seat in a general election. even his constituents in north yorkshire don't admire him sufficiently to want to vote for him. and he's the pm really quite shocking. >> i must say. if it really got that. i mean, i find it really, really hard to believe it will get that bad . i mean, his seat get that bad. i mean, his seat is incredibly safe . if it if is incredibly safe. if it if it's well, that's a total meltdown . it would make the meltdown. it would make the michael portillo moment, which we all remember it would pale into insignificance . um, but into insignificance. um, but things are very bad for the tories , there's no doubt about tories, there's no doubt about that , is the tories, there's no doubt about that, is the answer. >> dawn was raised posing the question. just a moment ago. chris, what is what is the issue that would perhaps energise the tory voters to go back to the polls to support them? is it migration? is it nhs waiting lists or is it having some money
10:11 am
back in their pocket through tax cuts? what do you think is the number one issue to. >> well, interesting answer. >> well, interesting answer. >> i mean , i know this because i >> i mean, i know this because i spent four years working in with with lynton crosby on their private polling . it was always private polling. it was always income tax , always came top . income tax, always came top. now, i'm not sure about i heard you earlier saying that you thought the boats was the biggest issue . i'm not sure biggest issue. i'm not sure about that . um, certainly the about that. um, certainly the poundin about that. um, certainly the pound in your pocket that old saying still rings true and the is far ahead of anything else that concerns this . the people that concerns this. the people in this country. >> and i wonder , chris, whether >> and i wonder, chris, whether they whether the voters would have given up on the tories, on the nhs because waiting lists are at a record high. and i suspect if and when labour win
10:12 am
the general election, not much is going to change there any time soon because they haven't got an answer either. >> no, they haven't . and really >> no, they haven't. and really what's funny about the nhs is that it's never actually talked about. that it's never actually talked about . if you remember the last about. if you remember the last few elections and we've had a few elections and we've had a few in no space of time . um, the few in no space of time. um, the one thing they don't talk about the nhs, it's almost left unspoken because there's no solution. >> we've got at the moment it looks like we have a labour party that is divided over the middle east. the situation in gaza and israel. we've got a conservative party that seems divided over rwanda now and how to solve that issue . which of to solve that issue. which of those is the biggest issue for the for each party do you think, chris um , who's facing the most chris um, who's facing the most division ? division? >> um . actually is a very good question. >> i've not thought about that. i mean, they're both really
10:13 am
divided. there's no question on, um, on rwanda . it's going right um, on rwanda. it's going right to the cabinet where you've got, um, rob jenrick versus , um, um, rob jenrick versus, um, james cleverly and, and david short . i james cleverly and, and david short. i mean, there's a split there which is obviously very serious . um, the tories have got serious. um, the tories have got a grappling all the time with the one nation tories and then the one nation tories and then the right wing tories. the one nation tories and then the right wing tories . um, the right wing tories. um, labour have got their own problems. i suspect right now it is rwanda, but you know . they're is rwanda, but you know. they're both split, they're both divided i >> -- >> and what? chris on wednesday we've got this autumn statement and a few years ago there was no such thing as an autumn statement. this was something gordon brown brought in. i mean, how did we ever manage political and economically without an autumn statement and then a flipping budget march flipping budget again in march or april ? or april? >> i don't know. i mean, it's a very good point, actually. i
10:14 am
mean, i'm old enough and i think you you are too. we all are to remember our when there was just a budget and that was the thing. and now we have this autumn statement, which was never meant to be. um really paving the way for tax cuts or anything else . for tax cuts or anything else. um, but that's the sort of cleft stick we've got into as to what he's going to do. um i think, yeah , he, he is in danger of yeah, he, he is in danger of over promising, um , he can't over promising, um, he can't fuel inflation and i think there's going to be a lot of noise about small , small noise about small, small businesses being the engine of the economy. he's quite safe with small businesses. so look out for national insurer cuts, freezing of business rates . um, freezing of business rates. um, things along those lines. he might um in the face of the campaign he might give away on tourist tax which would be a boost to london and the west
10:15 am
end. but i don't, i really don't see any cuts in income tax that would go down badly. he's going to do that. he'll save that . to do that. he'll save that. he'll save that for april . um, he'll save that for april. um, as an election sweetener banishing chris i make a prediction the michael portillo moment at the general election won't be rishi sunak it will be jeremy hunt because i i'm 90% he's going to lose his seat . he's going to lose his seat. >> yeah, he's going to lose his seat and i wonder i wonder if people will cheer loud as people will cheer as loud as they portillo lost. they did when portillo lost. >> well the difference >> i think well the difference there was portillo if i remember right wasn't he ? chairman oh no right wasn't he? chairman oh no he was . he was. >> stephen twigg he was, it was enfield southgate. >> i don't think people care as much about jeremy hunt as they did about michael portillo . did about michael portillo. what's interesting at that time , what's interesting at that time, it was a huge moment. um, jeremy hunt i mean, we're living in an era where our main politicians
10:16 am
just do not have the same degree of either sort of popularity or they don't split people's opinion in the same way. i mean, the only one who does, they don't have impact right now is, is in the jungle. >> yeah, exactly . yeah. chris >> yeah, exactly. yeah. chris blackhurst , thank you so much blackhurst, thank you so much for joining us. >> point forjoining us. >> point well made and well made. and talking about that, linda got in touch another linda i was fuming ant and dec having a dig at gb news nigel will have my votes to keep him in the jungle, but i think the general pubuc jungle, but i think the general public up of how public will get fed up of how well handles the trials and well he handles the trials and they vote him out in the they will vote him out in the end. well, getting a of end. well, getting a lot of emails, keith linda, whether emails, keith and linda, whether you're calling you're all just calling yourselves keith and linda, just to says, to wind us up, keith says, andrew and what a star andrew and bev, what a star nigel is. >> he's the reason people are watching programme >> he's the reason people are wathant programme >> he's the reason people are wathant and programme >> he's the reason people are wathant and dec,amme >> he's the reason people are wathant and dec, youre >> he's the reason people are wathant and dec, you can add year. ant and dec, you can add a robert to keith and linda. three of loving the programme of us are loving the programme sat here sofa. well good sat here on the sofa. well good morning to all of you. keep your messages coming. morning to all of you. keep your me it's|es coming. morning to all of you. keep your me it's not :oming. morning to all of you. keep your me it's not aning. morning to all of you. keep your me it's not a great fan of the jungle.

10:23 am
was struck by gang was really struck by the gang outside kim outside the home of kim leadbeater. the in leadbeater. she's the mp in batley , her sister is batley and spen, her sister is jo cox , who was murdered by jo cox, who was murdered by a right wing , deranged fanatic right wing, deranged fanatic dunng right wing, deranged fanatic during the referendum . and it during the referendum. and it just seems all the more shocking that this unruly mob , because that this unruly mob, because she won't support a ceasefire, she won't support a ceasefire, she i think she abstained in the vote last week. yes and it's designed to intimidate . designed to intimidate. >> it is intimidation. and i think it has to be stopped now. i mean, you understand that passions are running high over this entire subject , but the mps this entire subject, but the mps were doing their jobs. it is were doing theirjobs. it is their right to withhold their vote or vote how they see fit. and the fact that they have mobs outside their homes where their families live. many of them have young children. yeah, it's completely and utterly wrong. my neighbours and i have actually listened to people this morning discussing this on the radio saying no , they deserve this. saying no, they deserve this. they should actually be actually having a voice and thinking about the people dying . and it's
10:24 am
about the people dying. and it's like, i'm sure they are . but i like, i'm sure they are. but i mean, you know, and i'd take this even further. i mean. all right. protest at the house, protest peacefully . but i mean , protest peacefully. but i mean, rushanara ali was one of my local politicians in tower hamlets. she's a young muslim woman. she's very, very hard to get that job. she does. whether you agree with her politics again, she does a good job for the people she and she abstained as well. and she had and i've seen the footage a howling mob outside her place of work, her labour office in tower hamlets in bethnal green . in bethnal green. >> i think she's going to i've written about this in the notes. i think she's going to face a challenge from independent challenge from an independent muslim of candidate because muslim sort of candidate because the directed the level of rhetoric directed against last week was getting quite intense and saying she has to go get rid of her, get rid of her, get rid of her. >> look, we have two female muslim mps in tower hamlets and they have labour and they they both have labour and they have both worked hard have both worked incredibly hard to difficulties to overcome so many difficulties in their community. a young woman who wants to get on in a
10:25 am
career is by some areas of that community is actually castigated and again quite vitriolically . and again quite vitriolically. it's some of the rhetoric used about rushanara is actually appalling . you know, they've had appalling. you know, they've had to overcome opposition from their own communities in some cases their own families. the right wing and even in some cases the left wing . and it's cases the left wing. and it's like, this is appalling . we like, this is appalling. we elect our mps to represent us. we have no right to intimidate them in the way they are being intimidated. >> and what worries me, dawn, far be it for me to ever call for greater police powers, but i am starting to wonder whether there should be a law now around not doorstepping politicians at their home. and that's what disappoints me because part of our democracy is that our mps just live amongst us. and if you want to put a leaflet through their door about your charity event, you can so. hate event, you can do so. and i hate the idea we're going to the idea that we're going to lose because of very lose that because of a very small very vocal small minority of very vocal protesters , those who are protesters, those who are fighting for palestine. yeah,

here. that's what this this looks like ultimately, isn't it? >> well , this is the dilemma, >> well, this is the dilemma, isn't it? >> i mean, the irony of the people protesting for palestine where they wouldn't be allowed to do this. by the way, they don't have any protests over there because tend to end there because they tend to end up but this is up shooting them. but this is the trouble we're facing is do you legislate to stop this sort of thing? i'm like you, of thing? and i'm like you, beth. don't. we have free beth. i don't. we have a free speech. have democracy . you speech. we have a democracy. you have a right to protest. but and i local paper in north i see my local paper in north london in the camden new journal, has in quite journal, it has in there quite prominently the surgeries of the local mps, one of whom is keir starmer, the labour leader, tells time and the place tells you the time and the place and how sad is it going to be if those ads have to stop because they're have do they're going to have to do these by zoom because these surgeries by zoom because they're going to because they're going in they're going to because they're goingoffice. in they're going to because they're goingoffice. we've in they're going to because they're goingoffice. we've been in they're going to because they're goingoffice. we've been there. their office. we've been there. i mentioned jo cox i mean, you mentioned jo cox already, her sister getting a terrible intimidation. david amess in southend, what happened? >> murdered in his own constituency surgery . constituency surgery. >> and one of the i mean, in a
10:27 am
church building about mps is appalling. but a really, really good mp, lovely man, known her for years. >> lovely, lovely, lovely man . >> lovely, lovely, lovely man. >> lovely, lovely, lovely man. >> heard dawn , as you >> i also heard dawn, as you said, heard some left wing said, i heard some left wing protesters being interviewed in the last 24 hours or so about this issue and the passion with which they believe that these mps should be doorstepped they're saying, well, they're making the wrong decision. they should be calling for a ceasefire. the arrogance to think that they are right and that by, you know , by all means that by, you know, by all means have your strong opinions on this. no issue inspires such strong feelings as this middle east conflict has for decades. but arrogance with which but the arrogance with which they speak about the fact that they speak about the fact that they should be demanding a ceasefire also the naivety to think it would make any real difference. it won't make any real difference . real difference. >> the problem you've got is when they demand a ceasefire, what mean is israel, what they mean is israel, israel, stop, ceasefire because hamas won't . their declared hamas won't. their declared intention is to destroy israel. the state of israel should not exist. they haven't gone back on
10:28 am
that. that's what they said when they were elected. they haven't gone but took gone back on it. but they took it further in their it further back in their original statement and original mission statement and they should they said jewish people should not exist as well. they haven't gone on either. gone back on that either. >> yeah. >> em- em“ elm-- >> and we know if there is a ceasefire, they will they will regroup and they'll start. and in fact, one of their spokesmen said there'll be another october the 7th. >> they've said that >> well, they've said that i mean, the problem we've got now is, it's hard to believe is, is it's very hard to believe from camps , by the way. you from both camps, by the way. you know, we know that the first victim of war is the truth and that the propaganda on both sides and we know that because, you know, it's very , very you know, it's very, very difficult to know what to believe. and as you were saying, beth, people so set their beth, people are so set in their way they're even way now, they're not even willing see nuance in willing to see any nuance in this , any grey it is this, any grey areas. it is either you are one side or another , and it really isn't another, and it really isn't that this has been going on for 3000 years. yeah, i mean, it's not that simple. >> yeah, we've got of course, we're hoping take press we're hoping to take a press conference program conference later in the program because little because the father of the little girl who . he she

controlling inflation. high inflation eats away at your pay packet . it makes mortgages inflation eats away at your pay packet. it makes mortgages more expensive and stops you getting on the housing ladder. it makes pensions and savings worth less in other words, inflation is a tax and it erodes that dream of a wealthier, more secure life that we want for everyone. and that's why we've provided unprecedented support for people's energy bills and the cost of living and it's why at the start of this year , i the start of this year, i committed to halve inflation in back then, inflation was around 11. and now the office for national statistics has confirmed that in october it fell to 4.6. now, i'm not saying the job is done, but it does mean that we have met our commitment to halve inflation. our prices are no longer rising so quickly. energy bills have fallen significantly and for many wages are now rising faster

10:50 am
>> start with the basics of loving everybody. understand compassion, acceptance. you just give them the basics. and then maybe at secondary school, if they want to talk about trans issues and being born in the wrong body, maybe then. but the age of ten, no. yeah >> it's also though for me. matthew it's quite transphobic. when sell this issue like when you sell this issue like this, lot of children, this, because a lot of children, you probably not at that you know, probably not at that age, but a bit older, might be attracted somebody the attracted to somebody of the same sex rather than just accepting gay. now accepting that they are gay. now they are being told as a boy , they are being told as a boy, oh, well, you must be a girl because you like boys. >> i think that's a real danger. i mean, look, know, when i mean, look, you know, when i was the we was growing up in the 80s, we had section 28 and the sort of, you can't remember you know, i can't remember exactly was called, but exactly what it was called, but it was like dads picture it was like two gay dads picture book islington, cause one of book in islington, cause one of them was eric steve. them was called eric and steve. was think eric and ernie. >> i think eric and ernie. >> i think eric and ernie. >> yeah. it caused absolute >> yeah. and it caused absolute outrage. course, now, now outrage. and of course, now, now we that that was we think that that was reasonable, think it reasonable, but and i think it is fine there to be that is fine for there to be that it's right. there's lesbian and gay kind gay characters just kind of mixed with the different mixed in with all the different characters. what worries me
10:51 am
about wording about the particular wording that andrew, about the particular wording that this andrew, about the particular wording that this is andrew, about the particular wording that this is absolutely|drew, was that this is absolutely planting the idea that people are in wrong that are born in the wrong body, that they be, you know, they they want to be, you know, they want to be adopted a girl's or boy's name directly. and i think that it boy's name directly. and i think thatitis boy's name directly. and i think that it is that is quite different to just having just portraying different characters , portraying different characters, isn't it? >> this thing about the wrong body? yeah, it really is. i mean, my three year old was sent home nursery the other day home from nursery the other day with a book where two male aardvark fall love. and aardvark fall in love. and i just sort where does just i just sort of where does all this? >> the that me less >> the that worries me less because not asking people >> the that worries me less bechange. not asking people >> the that worries me less be change. no not king people >> the that worries me less bechange. nonot askingeople to change. you're not asking you're saying it's this it's you're not saying it's this it's confusing about gender is confusing about gender roles is difficult you're you're difficult when you're you're young and you're still you know, you're having you're still you're still having you're still you're still having you're still you're working out your you're still working out your identity, working you identity, working out where you are.little kids be boys and girls >> little kids be boys and girls be and boys and let them be girls and boys and let them celebrate be girls and boys and let them cel you know, don't prioritise diwali over christmas. and i just think the has so just think the woke has gone so fast can't even just be fast you can't even just be like, what, 95% of the population? >> it was a joy growing up as a little child, you know, playing with my action man and cowboys. and wrong with
10:52 am
and what's wrong with that? exactly. but if you teach them the which is that you the basics, which is that you accept is love and you accept love is love and that you accept love is love and that you accept then you just accept everybody, then you just get this very complex get them into this very complex identity issues. >> i think that's i think i agree with that. >> yeah. are all struggling to kind around it's about kind of talk around it's about as it's about as you say it's about acknowledging love acknowledging that love is love and love in and that love comes in all different rather than different forms rather than actually trying to actually going into trying to point people what your point out to people what your identity is. >> i this is my old >> and i think this is my old primary actually, because primary school actually, because i school near i went to primary school near derby. oh, really? derby. but it's not. oh, really? >> actually, it's a lot of >> and actually, it's a lot of psychologists it's psychologists will tell you it's a a myth. this idea a bit of a myth. this idea of you are in wrong body. you are born in the wrong body. there's often a trigger trauma. there's a trauma to perhaps which to want which triggers somebody to want to entire identity, to change their entire identity, which sometimes be worked which can sometimes be worked out with therapy and talking therapy. not always. and there are we have guests on this are and we have guests on this show all the time, trans guests who live a different life who have live a different life than they were born. than the one they were born. they fabulous people. they are fabulous people. and you any hate you wouldn't wish any any hate or discomfort harm on any of or discomfort or harm on any of those but to be telling those people. but to be telling children this is a fact. some people are born in the wrong body.

course, was the one who actually said of his daughter , he's the said of his daughter, he's the gentleman the glasses the gentleman in the glasses in the middle. she middle. he was relieved that she was dead because he couldn't bear to think of the terror she'd be suffering a tunnel she'd be suffering in a tunnel with hamas. well, of course, he's discovered at the weekend with hamas. well, of course, he'sisiscovered at the weekend with hamas. well, of course, he'sis alivered at the weekend with hamas. well, of course, he'sis alive and at the weekend with hamas. well, of course, he'sis alive and sheie weekend with hamas. well, of course, he'sis alive and she would (end with hamas. well, of course, he'sis alive and she would have she is alive and she would have beenin she is alive and she would have been in that tunnel for at least a month that's where a month now. and that's where she celebrated well celebrated absolutely word. absolutely the wrong word. forgive me. she her ninth birthday who god birthday happened. and who god only what state she's in. only knows what state she's in. >> and thomas hand. it was such a powerful statement, if you remember. it was afterjust remember. it was just after just after the attack october the after the attack on october the 7th. was relieved 7th. he said he was relieved that old then that his eight year old then daughter would have died instantly . he wasn't there. she instantly. he wasn't there. she was at a sleepover at a friend's house in one of the kibbutz in in israel . and it was such in israel. and it was such a shocking statement to hear from a parent. but you could also so empathise to some degree that you thought your child you thought that your child would spared sort you thought that your child wctorture spared sort you thought that your child wctorture subsequentlyi sort you thought that your child wctorture subsequently , sort you thought that your child wctorture subsequently , as sort you thought that your child wctorture subsequently , as the't of torture subsequently, as the weeks have gone on, he's discovered that there was no dna found of his daughter and there was an eyewitness account her was an eyewitness account of her being hostages. so being taken by the hostages. so the being that
11:12 am
the presumption in being that she still alive and hopefully she is still alive and hopefully well in the tunnels in gaza, he said he's had to do a mental shift to accept that and hope that she's alive. and he says now he has hope in his heart. so what we're seeing here is the israeli embassy in london this is family members of the kidnapped trying to keep these as images, these names and these families identities alive in the mind of the public. >> so we're going to go back to the press conference now , erin, the press conference now, erin, and netta is . is the son of very and netta is. is the son of very it's brother orry, very is the wife of my brother, ophir. >> so it's the nephew of jared. and they threw a few grenades. they opened the safe room and threw four grenades inside the room . he jumped on them and

11:16 am
president of israel, a friend to all the big guys around the world and a friend to the palestine liens . i will close my palestine liens. i will close my notes by saying the following in this our lives kind of stopped in october seventh. we are all at freeze. we are . all with one at freeze. we are. all with one one goal to bring them back home. now this is what unite everyone in israel right now . everyone in israel right now. and we had a year of self fighting in israel that i believe , you know, showed other believe, you know, showed other people the weakness of not being united. but right now , we are united. but right now, we are unhed united. but right now, we are united with one top goal is to bnng united with one top goal is to
11:17 am

11:18 am
very careful how it's done and to not fuel inflation. that's a that's a big bears down on the cost of living for all of us. he also set out andrew and bev five long decisions for his long term decisions for his government to reduce debt, cut tax, build sustainable energy back british business and delivering delivering a world class education. we've seen parts of that haven't we already? and the party conference reforming of a—levels . but this idea of cutting tax, this is what tory mps have been telling me they've to telling me they've wanted to hear ages from this hear for ages from this government. of course, the tax burden is the highest it's been for decades. and to finally have a tory prime minister saying they want a tax cut taxes is bizarrely a big moment in politics because think a lot of tories have been wanting this to come for a while. he was also very challenging about labour. he said that labour only offered simple fairytale on simple fairytale answers on government and also government spending and also there no no , that they have there was no no, that they have no experience of running a business. his business. he compared his experience of running running a
11:19 am
business, being a businessman in the city, and also jeremy hunts. being an entrepreneur and setting up his hotcourses business lack of business to the lack of experience on labour's side . experience on labour's side. this is almost a general election style campaigning speech from the pm this morning and one which will resonate in westminster as we go into the autumn statement . you mind just autumn statement. you mind just going through those five points again? >> i think i court reduced debt cut tax is a world class education. and what were the other two. >> yeah there were five. sorry about the van. next to me here. i'm here in westminster at a at a big food summit for the government's hosting the five. i'll read them again for you. bev forgive me for that. reducing debt. that's the first one. cutting tax. second one, building sustainable energy . building sustainable energy. third one backing british business. fourth and the fifth is delivering a world class education session by saying all this now he's almost indicating
11:20 am
what we're going to see from jeremy hunt on wednesday. maybe a lot more on personal taxation than we thought at the briefing last week was on cuts on inheritance tax that only benefits the biggest and most the richest estates, and also people who might be older than the general age and the population. so if we're going to start bringing down maybe national insurance, maybe hinting about income tax cuts, don't forget, when he was chancellor, the rishi sunak said he want to cut income tax by one p. in april 2024. well, now his prime minister and the economy is improving. that might happen. so we are starting to see a government now that is trying to take on the cost of living crisis , trying to improve the crisis, trying to improve the lives of people who it wants to vote for them the next vote for them at the next election. it's quite a big moment, for the prime minister. >> okay. thank you, chris. really interesting. jan uary really interesting. so, jan uary this this was rishi this year, this was rishi sunak's . five pledges reduced sunak's. five pledges reduced debt. sorry halve inflation, grow the economy , we reduce debt

11:27 am
wasn't the one who was leaking this to to the press. but, this to the to the press. but, you know , i think this whole you know, i think this whole story remarkable. you story is quite remarkable. you know, christmas day is know, i mean, christmas day is infamously a day, when infamously a day, you know, when , you we have too many , you know, we all have too many snowballs brandies , you know, we all have too many snovget ls brandies , you know, we all have too many snovget into brandies , you know, we all have too many snovget into family, brandies , you know, we all have too many snovget into family, familyiies and get into family, family fights . but and get into family, family fights. but you can just imagine in terms of christmas fights, harry and meghan's presence at sandringham would quite literally be, you know, a battle royale. and you can only imagine what, you know, the prince and princess of wales would be thinking the about thinking about the idea about the having christmas the prospect of having christmas with harry and meghan having their private conversations, as you pop up in you just said, pop up in a future netflix special or in a sequel to harry's tacky memoir. but you know how far i would say we've come from all of this. you remember harry's arrogant demand that the royal family apologise and acknowledge their guilt for the treatment . now we're seeing the treatment. now we're seeing the treatment. now we're seeing the quite opposite of it all. pride comes before a fall. the king's actually stood his ground throughout all of this quite wisely. and in the end, now it's
11:28 am
of course, it's prince harry who has who has had to have made what? well, the humiliating climbdown . climbdown. >> i can't imagine any member of the royal family would want them there because of the damage, the hurt that they have caused queen camilla has been personally criticised . the king. there was criticised. the king. there was no public tribute to the king on his 75th birthday, but there was a private call which they leaked , whereas in his 70th birthday it was a very moving tribute from william to their from william and harry to their father and oprah winfrey . the father and oprah winfrey. the book spare. i mean, it just goes on and on. >> bucha look, let's let's just put this into everyday human context. you know, imagine , you context. you know, imagine, you know, waging war on your family for years, you know , trashing for years, you know, trashing your family in and revealing private conversations behind their back to everybody , you their back to everybody, you know, causing your ailing grandmother untold anguish in her final months undermining and attacking your father , attacking your father, humiliating and demeaning his
11:29 am
wife at the very most delicate and sensitive moment in their whole lives. and generally, you know, doing everything possible to hog the limelight and cast a shadow over the most important family event in 70 years. and then after all of that and having snubbed your father just two months ago when you were in the country. yeah. now you just want to back to their want to back in for to their lives for christmas, perhaps, because it's suits your agenda for self—promotion . hubris. we for self—promotion. hubris. we are staggering. >> yeah. i hate to cut you off in the middle of this, but we're going to another story about family now that we need to take live, which really puts into perspective that perspective the issues that harry meghan deal harry and meghan have to deal with. thomas hands, the with. this is thomas hands, the father of emily hand. the father of emily hand. she's the little israeli girl who was kidnapped by hamas, talking at the in london. the israeli embassy in london. here the israeli embassy in london. herthey going to burn . so >> they were going to burn. so when she didn't hear any arab voices any longer in her house, she thought, okay, i'm going to die here. we're going to burn to death . so she i think she made a
11:30 am
death. so she i think she made a very good plan. she she tried to get to her mum's house, which was only 200m away. but but yeah, they, they shot her along the way . i've actually been back the way. i've actually been back to kibbutz be'eri and saw her blood stain the blood stained path where she fell , where she path where she fell, where she died . so my son and daughter , died. so my son and daughter, hayden and natalie have lost their mother . that's one hayden and natalie have lost their mother. that's one thing . their mother. that's one thing. i was i was holed up in my in my safe room from , um, 630 in the safe room from, um, 630 in the morning till 1:00 the next morning till 1:00 the next morning . it was a very, very morning. it was a very, very long day . worst day of my life. long day. worst day of my life. terrifying you just went from
11:31 am
shaking with fear to stiff. with fear. just in and out. all day long. all day long. just praying for someone to come and rescue . for someone to come and rescue. us at some point in the day, they they they kidnapped my little daughter, emily, who was doing a sleepover at her friend's house. he . um yeah , he friend's house. he. um yeah, he took her away . we have took her away. we have eyewitnesses of the mother of the friend and little hila. emily's friend and emily being led away by the terrorists to the tenders to open back trucks . the tenders to open back trucks. and off to gaza . as you know, at and off to gaza. as you know, at
11:32 am

11:33 am
thomas from ireland to thomas had moved from ireland to england was child. you england when he was a child. you could the irish lilt in his could hear the irish lilt in his accent. then lived in accent. and then he's lived in israel for about 30 years. emily the little girl who is still held hostage and she her mother died actually, her mother, liat, who he mentioned, died when she was two and a half. but thomas's first wife, i believe that's the lady he was just referencing then, who lost her life on october the 7th, the mother to his other two children and so i just hope that people who are marching against mps who are refusing to support a ceasefire, marching to their homes, listen to that man talking the agony in his voice. >> his daughter kidnapped , his >> his daughter kidnapped, his first wife, murdered brutally , first wife, murdered brutally, savagely. and there are somewhat 250 hostages still in captivity. so should there be a ceasefire, what would be the point? >> okay. right. we're going to go now to your morning news with sophia .
