money and alongside the independent forecasts of the office of budget responsibility. and we can't do everything all at once . it will take discipline at once. it will take discipline and we need to prioritise . but and we need to prioritise. but over time we can and we will cut taxes . well the shadow taxes. well the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves , says chancellor, rachel reeves, says people have been waiting far too long for tax cuts. >> the cost of living crisis has really hit working families. >> they've had more of their money taken in tax is the highest tax burden in in 70 years. 25 tax rises just in this parliament. inflation eating into wages as well, and higher mortgages and rents. so i want taxes on working people to be lower. but i would say to the prime minister and the chancellor , you've had 13 years. chancellor, you've had 13 years. we've got the highest tax burden

regard to religion in politics and politics in schools, because ihave and politics in schools, because i have to say that i'm increasingly anxious, increasingly anxious, increasingly disturbed in the uk, we've actually never really done religion in politics. we were it very lightly. we have a separation of the church and the state and i think that that has worked and served us extremely well. you look around the world and where you see religion playing a heavy role in politics, it's i think we've got to be honest, folks. the results are very often not good, oppressive. sometimes horrific, sometimes violent and not good at all. but where are we going here in the uk with the protests that we've seen. and then all of a sudden we've got children , a sudden we've got children, children being used for political protest . what about

political protest. what about religious division .7 and you see religious division? and you see how this all intertwine is. it's bad enough, frankly, bringing religion seriously into uk politics. in my view . others may politics. in my view. others may well disagree , but to then well disagree, but to then increase that sense of division increase that sense of division in by using politics in our schools and dividing our children when actually the truth is that here in the uk we have we have the opportunity and i think by and large we've probably been reasonably successful where you've got mixed schools, churches , foreign mixed schools, churches, foreign pupils, students learning together from different faiths or no faiths actually the ability to teach tolerance, respect and understanding , and respect and understanding, and therefore in a sense to encourage us as those young people grow up to be adults ,

people grow up to be adults, hopefully to reduce the sense of division within different religions as people move into politics and the world of politics and the world of politics and the world of politics and current affairs as adults, surely that's what we've been good at. but i fear that we are heading to a bad , bad place. are heading to a bad, bad place. itouched are heading to a bad, bad place. i touched on it on thursday about using children in these protests . it wasn't just in protests. it wasn't just in london. i fear we're going to see more and more of this. it's exactly the opposite of what we should be doing . we should be should be doing. we should be teaching, learning, should be doing. we should be teaching, learning , tolerance, teaching, learning, tolerance, understanding of different religions that surely is the way through. so that is my big question. on to you, everyone, this evening on children politics. it's my question is, should we keep children out of politics? email me, farage.

gbnews.com or tweet us, of course, hashtag farage on gb news. well, i'm delighted. i've got two fantastic guests to talk about this. first up, i'm going to be talking to chris mcgovern, who is the chairman of the campaign for real education, former teacher , someone who former head teacher, someone who really understands traditional solid teaching. chris, very good evening to you. thanks for joining me on gb news. well, you just heard my intro there for chris. i mean, these are these are astonishing. and frankly, i think potentially at best worrying at worst, terrifying times as to what's going on in in our schools. what were your thoughts ? firstly, chris, on thoughts? firstly, chris, on seeing children being used in those protests at the back end of last week . of last week. >> and my thoughts, richard, were that around the world there are countries wars taking place where there are child soldiers. i didn't think we'd see child soldiers on our streets in london and elsewhere effectively

, they are. they've been recruited to fight the battle. we have battles on our streets and now we have children recruited to fight them. it's completely wrong and it's a reflection of what's been going on schools for 30, 40 on in our schools for 30, 40 years. i taught for 30, 30 or 35 years. i taught for 30, 30 or 35 years. i taught for 30, 30 or 35 years. i recall back in the late 80s children getting a new exam. thenit 80s children getting a new exam. then it was called the gcse. it's common now , and in the it's common now, and in the moral questions, the children were being asked to imagine they were being asked to imagine they were members of the plo and to take the position of the plo and to explain why they'd blown up an israeli aircraft. and, you know, been going on a lot know, that's been going on a lot recently, even the last few years we've seen other examples of that. we've seen in the last week, in fact, on the web where the times educational supplement has a lesson, moral lesson, which compares hamas to the raf. both are linked. both are listed as terrorist organisations . this as terrorist organisations. this falling apart and then chris, we've also just seen a new report and polling by the think tank policy exchange saying that teachers current teachers are

self—censoring lessons for fear of offending muslim pupils . of offending muslim pupils. >> now muslim pupils represent about 1 in 10 of our children in schools . the muslim population schools. the muslim population is about just under 7. across england and wales. i think that's the appropriate number. i mean, this must be pretty shocking to you, the fact that the teachers are now worried about causing offence and actually i think half of teachers believe their physical safety would be put at risk if theyif safety would be put at risk if they if they essentially offended certain muslim pupils . offended certain muslim pupils. >> yeah, this this is an awful state of affairs. as a headteacher where i used to tell the pupils that they just they need to treat other children as they want to be treated. that's what you need and that's all you need. what's been taking place. and we've seen the school in batley. look, i have some sympathy for the parents. they have right upset and have the right to be upset and they feel they've been insulted, but they have right to but they don't have the right to

cause teacher to basically cause a teacher to basically disappear new disappear and find a new identity we a situation identity. we have a situation where politics are in schools even more than you're saying, which are you stated the case very strongly. know what very strongly. i know what schools like. i know what's schools are like. i know what's going on. and a few years ago, the police went into a school in bethnal green where those three girls disappeared, went off to syria, big, big case. syria, became a big, big case. the police went into the school and they to see whether and they wanted to see whether there promotion there was any promotion of terrorism. they found terrorism. what they found was no promotion terrorism. no promotion of terrorism. what they the school they found was that the school was actually teaching the children points of view. so children both points of view. so they saw were taught the they saw they were taught the point view of george bush point of view of george bush when the 9/11 took place. and they were then taught the point of of osama bin laden. of view of osama bin laden. they're different. they're equal, but different. that's all. >> that's how does it work >> and that's how does it work out? you've got a mixed out? where you've got a mixed school with muslim children, with with with christian children, with jewish and you've got jewish children, and you've got parents possibly with the sort of the implicit encouragement, possibly of some teachers where the muslim children are basically being encouraged to go on protest . i basically being encouraged to go on protest. i mean, that's that's a recipe for disaster , that's a recipe for disaster, isn't it?

>> it's a recipe for disaster because what's happening is a total and teachers total breakdown. and teachers are sides. whole, are taking sides. on the whole, you know, teachers tend to be on the left. but i think 1 or 2 servers we've seen recently have shown that hardly any teachers will tory party in will support the tory party in fact, few years at the fact, a few years ago at the labour party conference, one of the spokesmen there the teaching spokesmen there said the conference that said to the conference that education failing education in britain is failing as a single pupil leaves as long as a single pupil leaves school and votes. tory that's where highly where we are. it's highly politicised. classrooms and politicised. the classrooms and the is highly the content is highly politicised the selection of politicised and the selection of content it should. >> chris it should be about the quality of the teaching, not bringing politics into to our bringing in politics into to our schools. i just think it's i think it's the wrong way to go. chris thank you so much. i'm quite sure we'll be coming back to this. i am really, really anxious about it. i think this is just potentially the beginning have to talk beginning and we have to talk about be rational about it. we have to be rational about it. we have to be rational about it. we have to be rational about it. and look at all sides. and that's i'm so delighted and that's why i'm so delighted now joined the line now to be joined down the line also ismael lea, south, who's also by ismael lea, south, who's the director of the salam project. and cultural youth work

consultant at ismail. thank you so much forjoining me. i hope you just heard that previous discussion with chris mcgovern . discussion with chris mcgovern. >> to me and i was very concerned to be honest, ismail last week to see children being used in sort of political process protest. >> are you concerned about that or do you think that's that's acceptable in today's world? >> and i agree. i don't agree because what it is, what i'm as a youth worker, i like to encourage our young people, if they have political grievances , they have political grievances, i.e. with foreign policy or with current policies to utilise the democrat system that we have here in the uk, which is one of the best whereby why to write to your local mp, organise petitions , peaceful campaigns petitions, peaceful campaigns and non—violent marches. um, minor , even even in school time minor, even even in school time is professionalism . now. for is professionalism. now. for example , let me give an example. example, let me give an example. if during school people are very

incensed about a topic, what i encourage , urge young people to encourage, urge young people to do is during their break times or during a free lesson to organise a peaceful protest. and this could be about any topic. um, as long as it's done with and done in conjunction with the, the, the teachers and with the, the, the teachers and with the head of years. so as long as it's promoting peaceful protest , it's promoting peaceful protest, there's no issue. okay. so what do you think about what do you think about those children who left school . left school. >> they left the classroom and they were heading towards a local mps office and chanting what essentially is a genocidal, anti—semitic song ? well well, anti—semitic song? well well, personally speaking, i never heard that report, so i can't comment on what i never hear. >> but if someone did do that, thatis >> but if someone did do that, that is totally wrong . but as that is totally wrong. but as you know, as a person who works in the media, this this happens in the media, this this happens in all walks of life. many the person's show who you're

covering i've seen it when he's been walking in the middle of the street and someone attacks him with attacked him with an 999 him with attacked him with an egg which is totally inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour. in all behaviour. this happens in all walks of life and in all schools of thought, of political thought , which which. >> and that is male. you see this report from policy exchange where you've now got essentially about 20% of teachers are self—censoring their lessons and 50% of teachers are worried about their own safety if they cause offence . cause offence. >> um, with all due respect, that think tank, they're known to have political local grievances , political skewed grievances, political skewed leanings . and where's their leanings. and where's their sample? as someone who works in schools, right. with all due respect, a lot of these think tanks that we hear about today are incompetent. very feeble masturbators. and are totally incompetent on reality . and just incompetent on reality. and just stand by google and speak to 1

or 2 people over the phone. most of them are useless . of them are useless. >> in fairness to them. they're not. they're not. they had about 1100 teachers. so it a decent sized poll, i think is. mel yeah i >> -- >> yes. okay. okay for argument's sake. yes. all right. this this reality does exist, but we have to say on the whole, the majority of teachers in the uk do a great job in in engaging young people within different religious ideas , ages and religious ideas, ages and understandings because british charleton, whether we like it or not, is a multicultural society. and many teachers, because that's the job that i do. i work in many schools and pupil referral units, colleges and universities around london, birmingham, manchester. so i work the schools , okay? and work in the schools, okay? and the majority of the 95 to 99% of the majority of the 95 to 99% of the teachers do a great job in navigating teaching religious issues in multicultural. >> but it's not good if they're fearful. i guess that's the

point isn't it? and ismail, thank you so much indeed. oh, ho. 110. >> no. >> but if you say 20, you said there's 20. >> no, i said about 50% in this poll. >> are fearful for their safety. 20% are essentially self censoring, but 50, 1 in 2 are fearful . but but we have people fearful. but but we have people who are fearful of speaking about political issues , about brexit. >> we have people who are fearful about speaking about animal rights. we have people who are fearful, speaking about supporting a particular football team. yeah, but, but that's, that's that's our life. >> it shouldn't be. surely it shouldn't be in schools with teachers. ismail time is against us. i'm going to get you back in because we've lots to talk because we've got lots to talk about, all of these issues about, about all of these issues . and related. you so . and related. thank you so much, being me. much, ismail, for being with me. there this evening. i do hope some of you weren't offended by a little bit of fruity language there. i am. i'm sorry about that. there. i am. i'm sorry about that . this issue is it's that. this issue is it's serious. what is acceptable protest within in the law? i

think we actually know what that is for me, what we've seen with these marches is completely unacceptable. and then in the week end, keir starmer's , his week end, keir starmer's, his local office, his mps office, where you saw serious protests and then the down in wales in cardiff . jo stevens labour mp cardiff. jo stevens labour mp because she was perceived to vote the wrong way on the ceasefire amendment . look at ceasefire amendment. look at this , her office being daubed this, her office being daubed painted graffiti, fearful . let's painted graffiti, fearful. let's just remind ourselves that in the last seven years, eight years, i think it is two members of parliament have been murdered by by extremists . you know, this by by extremists. you know, this is serious stuff . we surely is serious stuff. we surely should be able to in this country of all have with the benefit of free speech, we must benefit of free speech, we must be able to protest with respect and with tolerance. i just don't

think we've seen it with these pro—palestine. what i think , pro—palestine. what i think, frankly, are pro—hamas demonstrations. but just take a look at this. this is how a demonstration in my view, should be. respectfully conducted with tolerance , as this was also this tolerance, as this was also this weekend . and there you have. weekend. and there you have. i think that is something special. that was thousands and thousands of people support supporting israel and look at that. it was conducted peacefully, quietly . conducted peacefully, quietly. and that's a key thing there. just look at that . the flag of just look at that. the flag of israel with the union jack , israel with the union jack, because if one is lucky enough to live in this country, i think everybody should agree that we grow up, we live together with respect act under the british culture. so i disagree with ismail, and that's why i want him back on. we shouldn't be multicultural much biculturalism has failed . if we live together

has failed. if we live together under a single british culture, then we can live in harmony and peace, not in violence . i look peace, not in violence. i look forward to hearing what you think about all of this coming up. i'll be telling you so much more unbelievably , ambulances. more unbelievably, ambulances. how much has been spent in london on ambulances to make them great ulez compliant. >> i'll show you nigel's local engush >> i'll show you nigel's local english boozer in the outback where he'll come for that crisp, cold pint after leaving the jungle. >> you won't want to miss that all coming up straight after the break here on .

before. that's all i can say. and also, he has his first serious discussion , a bit serious discussion, a bit combative about brexit as well. when nigel was out, i've done him a bit of a favour earlier today i went on a recce all around the gold coast trying to find the best boozer where nigel can go and get a crisp, cold pint for when he's out and he pint for when he's out and so he can recuperate properly. this is what . it's an absolute what i found. it's an absolute gem hills of the gem buried in the hills of the gold check this pub out. gold coast. check this pub out. where better to follow nigel's jungle than only jungle adventure than the only engush jungle adventure than the only english side of the english pub this side of the gold coast in australia. the fox and brought over most of and hounds brought over most of it. the interiors from a pub in sussex near me, back home in england some years ago. complete with traditional red english postbox. the red telephone box that you'd actually find in the jungle camp as well. no working phone, unfortunately. so you can't vote for nigel to remain and a right beauty. a double decker english london bus brought over from the 1950s. but go on, nigel gb news on the

chalkboard had absolutely nothing to do with me . i nothing to do with me. i promise. it was here when i got here. and as you come in, the britishness whacks you in the face. a flag. king charles, the third coronation flag . they third coronation flag. they marked it with a big event earlier this year. and it wouldn't be an english boozer without some bacon . frazzles without some bacon. frazzles monster munch , of course, coming monster munch, of course, coming in to the bar. normally this is packed out with brits and aussies having roast dinners, toad in the hole. even sticky toffee pudding, perfect for days like today. and of course, a massive tv for watching gb news and following nigel's jungle adventure . charlie, what are adventure. charlie, what are your thoughts on nigel's jungle prospects? oh second, you're the perfect establishment for nigel to come to as soon as he's out of the jungle. what are you going to whip up for him? what's he going to drink? >> well, i guess after he washes his feet and becomes a bit more presentable, you know, straight away. guess you'd hit a pint, away. i guess you'd hit a pint, wouldn't i like i'd smash wouldn't you? i like i'd smash a pint being out there in

pint after being out there in the once you've washed the bush. once you've washed that out toad in hole. that down out toad in the hole. yeah, absolutely. it's probably one to's. but you one of the go to's. but you know, on the side who cannot have a packet monster munch, have a packet of monster munch, pickled . pickled onion. >> know justin good stuff. >> you know justin good stuff. love the pub. two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please, love. thank you. >> come on, come on. » i— >> come on, come on. >> i think after this trial, i think nigel might need more than two pints of lager. he would definitely be looking forward to going boozer in the gold going to that boozer in the gold coast. coming up, folks, we've got debate. the stalling got a big debate. the stalling of offshore wind farms. what's going on? what's it all about? we have got the answers. don't go anywhere. it's farage on

>> you're listening to gb news radio . welcome radio. welcome back, my friends to farage on gb news. >> well, the great renewable energy debate, is it the saviour of everything to do with climate change? and of course, within that wind farms , offshore wind that wind farms, offshore wind farms are a significant part of

the government's strategy and the government's strategy and the labour party's strategy. but something strange is gone on because despite all of the enthusiastic talk, when the bids came in in september for the latest round of licenses which were sort of auctioned off, guess what happened ? where was guess what happened? where was the enthusiasm that we heard about last year when there were sort of clambering over themselves ? not a single bid was themselves? not a single bid was received . and so what's going received. and so what's going on? i thought it was the cheapest form of energy. i thought it was the great the great future. what's happened? well, joining me now down the line to discuss this is andrew montford, director of net zero. watch. and then i've got a guest in the studio. andrew, a very good evening to you. you've been studying this this sector, this this this industry , renewable this this industry, renewable energy, offshore, wind closely see what's happened. the government said this is this is the great hope we've got to build loads more wind turbines

but all of a sudden the developers have said thanks but no thanks. >> yeah, since about 2017, we've been told that offshore wind is the cheapest form of power around and we at net zero watch have been saying that that just isn't the case. you can look at the accounts of offshore wind farms. they publish all their financial accounts and can financial accounts and you can see that is very high see that the cost is very high and is coming down at best only slightly . um, what happened was, slightly. um, what happened was, although they were bidding extremely low prices to um, ostensibly supply power to the grid , in actual fact and up grid, in actual fact and up until last year those contracts were in fact really options they didn't have to take them up. so when those developers, um , came when those developers, um, came to the point where they , they, to the point where they, they, they could activate their, their contract mark market prices were extremely high. we had the war in ukraine, energy prices had gone through the roof. and so they said, well, thank you very

much. we will just sell in the open market. thank you. and there allow to there contracts allow them to do that. there contracts allow them to do that . so there was a bit of there contracts allow them to do that. so there was a bit of a scandal over that. and what happened government then happened was the government then said, okay, we can't have these wind farms raking in such huge sums of money. they making sums of money. they were making hundreds of pounds. hundreds of millions of pounds. >> andrew, let's just on this >> so andrew, let's just on this bit of last year's they bid very low year. everybody said , low last year. everybody said, look, that means wind is the cheapest all. but already cheapest of all. but already some of those projects are being cancelled postponed cancelled or postponed this yeah cancelled or postponed this year. are at all. year. there are no bids at all. and what's just happened now in the days, the the last few days, the government talking a huge government talking about a huge increase price of this. increase in the price of this. what's yeah, okay. what's going on? yeah, okay. >> so they got no bids last yeah >> so they got no bids last year. and so what they had to do was to give them a huge price rise. so essentially wind farms where we were told they were going to sell us power for sort of 35, £40 a megawatt hour. they're actually going to be getting 100 in future, which is what we always said they would need to be profitable. so this is maybe double what what gas

fired power is over the long term. gas is currently more expensive . so we're in a war, expensive. so we're in a war, but what this means is that wind is has shown its true colours. it is really expensive and will stay expensive , i think, for stay expensive, i think, for good. >> andrew, thank you very much indeed for that. that's the reality, folks , is that i think reality, folks, is that i think the industry has deliberately under bid and then this time round said they didn't bid at all and now they've been begging with the old begging bowl to the government saying they need a huge price increase in order to make this viable. i'm delighted to the studio to be joined in the studio by tom burke, who is the co—founder of e—3g environmental think tank . i of e—3g environmental think tank .i hope of e—3g environmental think tank . i hope i've got that right. yeah. bit of a yeah. look this is a bit of a scandal , yeah. look this is a bit of a scandal, isn't yeah. look this is a bit of a scandal , isn't it? yeah. look this is a bit of a scandal, isn't it? mean, yeah. look this is a bit of a scandal , isn't it? mean, the scandal, isn't it? i mean, the whole they've whole industry, they've deliberately underbid, surely , deliberately underbid, surely, and then they haven't bid at all. surprised that no one bid and now they're begging for a huge increase. >> what's going on? of course they didn't bid. >> the government offered them a

lousy deal. smart lousy deal. and smart businessmen, better businessmen, but it was a better deal last year. deal than last year. >> sorry. no, it wasn't. >> i'm sorry. no, it wasn't. >> it was last year was £37 this yearin >> it was last year was £37 this year in september was £44. no one that's higher price. one bid. that's a higher price. >> and in the meantime, the government had managed wreck >> and in the meantime, the goveconomy1ad managed wreck >> and in the meantime, the goveconomy andnanaged wreck >> and in the meantime, the gov economy and nan interest wreck the economy and put interest rates route. so, of rates through the route. so, of course, the cost went up. the cost up for everything. cost has gone up for everything. inflation interest rates, inflation and interest rates, inflation is 10% mean everything. the everything. yeah, they mean the price everything has gone up. price of everything has gone up. so happened was the so what happened was the government made an offer for them as they government made an offer for the|it as they government made an offer for the|it before as they government made an offer for the|it before the as they government made an offer for the|it before the government ey got it before the government wrecked the economy and the businessman properly businessman quite properly said no now they're no. and now what? they're getting is still cheaper than the government is paying and making going to make people pay for electricity . that really for electricity. that really true. so hang on. i'm finished. from nuclear power stations. so if the government is really concerned about what people are having to pay for electricity, actually it was wrong. your other accommodation was wrong . other accommodation was wrong. solar is the cheapest form of electricity around around the world. wind is the next cheapest form. gas now much more form. gas is now much more expensive. much

expensive. right now is much more expensive. >> if it's cheaper, why are we having to subsidise 10 billion plus of subsidies every single year to the renewable industry which on, not doing which is going on, not doing anything let's come back to which is going on, not doing anythithese let's come back to which is going on, not doing anythithese let's that, back to which is going on, not doing anythithese let's that, richard, these these doing that, richard, not single bid, right? not a single bid, right? everyone renewables everyone says that renewables is very everyone wants very enthusiast. everyone wants to why not a single to do it, but why not a single bid £44? to do it, but why not a single bid because they were offered >> because they were offered a very bad price . and what do you very bad price. and what do you expect businessmen to when expect businessmen to do when the higher than last the price was higher than last year's ? year's price? >> they've now said inflation >> so they've now said inflation is they've asked for a 60 to is 10. they've asked for a 60 to 70% price increase in order to get by. it isn't the truth that we're being ripped off. >> no, the truth is not that we're being ripped off. the truth is, if we don't do this, we'll actually get screwed by the industry, the oil the nuclear industry, by the oil and industry. so we're and gas industry. so we're actually much better doing actually much better off doing this least it makes this because at least it makes sure got it in own sure we've got it in our own hands control prices. hands to control prices. >> i'm for diversity of >> i'm all for diversity of different energy sources. that's a thing to do, right? a sensible thing to do, right? because advance because you then advance different technologies at different technologies at different i'm different things. but what i'm concerned about is an industry that by that said we're the cheapest by far. underbid far. they deliberately underbid and all of a sudden, 12, 15

months later, they're saying they did last year down at £37. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. you put a key word in there. you said they deliberately yes. did deliberately underbid. yes. did they before and then they bid lower before and then bid higher as went up? bid higher as costs went up? yeah, true. that's not a yeah, that's true. that's not a deliberate underbid. but, tom, they've last they've started to cancel last year's project. they've started to cancel last yeathey'reect. building >> they're not building them now. >> they're not building them novthat a very different >> that is a very different proposition . you're now mixing proposition. you're now mixing up. >> proves my point. they deliberately underbid tom. >> prove your point if >> it would prove your point if you had point. but you don't. you had a point. but you don't. i have a point, though, i do have a point, though, because you've now confused two things. other wind farm things. have other wind farm wind stations, not the wind power stations, not the ones talking ones that we're now talking about bidding round, but ones that we're now talking about stations)idding round, but ones that we're now talking about stations actually,yund, but ones that we're now talking about stations actually, not, but other stations actually, not just britain in not just in britain and also in not in as well as the in america as well as the turbine manufacturers . turbine manufacturers. >> they're losing huge amounts of money, but so have so have people building batteries. >> lots of business projects get another renewable source. >> lots of things get >> yes, lots of things get cancelled. >> oh, yeah. look the >> oh, yeah. look at all the other things we've other things that we've cancelled ed, including including very simple inflation was 10. >> they're asking for a 60 to

70% price increase. they've conned us. there's a cartel here, isn't there ? here, isn't there? >> dream on, richard . you can >> dream on, richard. you can dream on as much as you like. you're not describing what's actually happened. what actually happened was the providers were offered really bad deal by the offered a really bad deal by the government and they quite sensibly turned it down. >> okay. and that deal was better than last year. interesting. tom, we must keep coming back to that. there's time running against us, time is running against us, folks. you much folks. thank you very much indeed. tom burke the ea 3g indeed. tom burke from the ea 3g invite mental think tank. my what the farage moment before the unbelievable ulez. what the farage moment before the you.anelievable ulez. what the farage moment before the you. sadiqavable ulez. what the farage moment before the you. sadiq khane ulez. what the farage moment before the you. sadiq khan means the thank you. sadiq khan means the nhs got to spend not a few nhs has got to spend not a few quid, not £100,000 on ambulances in london alone. so . £65 million in london alone. so. £65 million of your money, that could be spent on the front line of the nhs on ulez compliance, ambulances is lovely. well, coming up after the break, we'll be talking to celebrity. i'm a celebrity all star, retired javelin thrower , fatima javelin thrower, fatima whitbread. that will be a

isles and offshore wind. i want to dig into that in a bit more detail. i'll tell you what, i'm not convinced. i think something is not quite right there anyway, tonight, of course, at nine, 9:00, nigel will be back on air on i'm a celebrity. we need to really understand what it's like to in the camp. and who to be in the camp. and who better explain that than our better to explain that than our very whitbread , very own fatima whitbread, former i'm a celebrity contestant and of course, fantastic british javelin thrower. fatima, thanks for being with me in the studio. i mean, this must take you back. seeing nigel doing this. what's it really like in the jungle? is it really like in the jungle? is it or is it harder or easier than it looks on tv? >> no, it's every every bit as you would see it. i mean, i'm often being asked, is that really so? do you do you sneak out at night time and have something to eat? do you sleep in the local and the in the local hotel and the answer is no. i mean, it is what you and what you see is you see. and what you see is what you get. >> genuinely there in the >> you're genuinely there in the hammocks. contact at all. >> none at all. and i think it's interesting because for those

that are going they all that are going in, they lose all their comforts. so they've their home comforts. so they've stripped back to the to stripped right back to the to the bone. they've contact the bone. they've got no contact with family and loved ones. they don't have any social media and so it's just about getting on with the other campmates in the camp. >> but for those of who are sort of social media influencers, that's quite a shock, isn't it? >> that's going to be tough. >> that's going to be tough. >> the trials, the famous cockroach trial, i mean, trial, you had quite experience with that. us about that. that. tell us about that. >> was an experi for >> that was quite an experi for anybody, i think. you know, i mean, it a challenge enough, anybody, i think. you know, i meehaving a challenge enough, anybody, i think. you know, i meehaving that:hallenge enough, anybody, i think. you know, i meehaving that little nge enough, anybody, i think. you know, i meehaving that little cockroach h, but having that little cockroach stuck at the back of my nose, you could feel his little furry legs quite an legs moving. it was quite an awful really. i mean, it was 40 minutes. they edit down a lot of what you see, but 40 minutes before i could actually get that thing to come back down, 40 minutes, 40 minutes is a long time. it was almost like someone had shaken up a really fizzy dnnk had shaken up a really fizzy drink it was explode ing in drink and it was explode ing in my head. and i said to the doctor, where's this thing going to so it can come out to come out? so it can come out four places? he said, it can

either come out the ears, the nose, eyes. oh nose, the mouth or the eyes. oh the eye. oh, did they tell you that before you started that? no. i started to get concerned when wouldn't down. he when he wouldn't come down. he felt comfortable up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. comfortable up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, �*nfortable up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, ifortable up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, i was ble up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, i was a e up there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, i was a bitp there. when he wouldn't come down. he felt i. oh, i was a bit panicky. and i. oh, i was a bit panicky. just. i could imagine wondering whether or not. >> now, nigel, obviously is a he's. he's a big figure, well known figure, controversial figure to some. so it could get a little bit heated with some of the other contestants who may not think that brexit is the marvellous thing that nigel does. how do you think he'll get on. will he cope with it or do you think he might lose it? >> no. from what i've seen in this first programme, nigel seems quite a steady guy. i think he's quite. mean, taking think he's quite. i mean, taking back his political stance on things, i think he's a regular quy- things, i think he's a regular guy. he's got quite a good sense of humour. he's got a good handle on stuff. i think he'll get on very well with people in the camp because it can be really difficult in the camp situation when there's extreme conditions like that. people

getting , tired, they're getting hungry, tired, they're getting hungry, tired, they're getting and, you know, getting sassy and, you know, they they're sort of in close proximity like that. >> weather, i think the >> and the weather, i think the forecast hearing forecast we were just hearing earlier so there'd earlier is terrible. so there'd be of rain, be be a lot of rain, there'll be a lot of rain in there as well in camp. >> there's no no hiding from that. i mean, when i was in australia, i can remember they didn't put canopy over the didn't put the canopy over the top. you were it was damp at top. so you were it was damp at night as well. it's not just i mean, so it really is properly uncomfortable. yes it's not uncomfortable. yes and it's not your conditions that you your normal conditions that you liveso do you get bored in there? >> so do you get bored in there? >> so do you get bored in there? >> it's no time to get bored. >> it's no time to get bored. >> there's no time to get bored. so is busy. >> there's no time to get bored. so well, is busy. >> there's no time to get bored. so well, well,)usy. >> there's no time to get bored. so well, well, there is time to >> well, well, there is time to get bored. forgive me for saying that way, because if that in one way, because if you're not doing the trials, it can be a day. right? but can be a long day. right? but because you're amongst 12 other campmates, mean, you're campmates, i mean, you're constantly doing different jobs around you're doing around the camp. if you're doing your properly, that is. and your job properly, that is. and your job properly, that is. and you get know other you actually get to know other campmates there. campmates in there. i mean, they're large characters. they're all large characters. they've egos and they've all got large egos and it can be quite a trial in itself, let alone eating . itself, let alone eating. >> and how much of the rows

between in those huge egos actually do we see on tv and how much of it basically is sort of covered up between. >> that's the entertainment part, isn't it, richard? i mean, most most of what tb likes to capture is the off, you know, the needle side of what a person reacts to in terms of when they're tired and hungry. i mean, you all always get somebody that rubs someone up the wrong way and yeah, i don't think nigel will be one that will easily be triggered . he's will easily be triggered. he's a sensible and i think he can sensible guy and i think he can be quite a funny guy too. >> so absolutely. he's calm. he was very calm yesterday . just was very calm yesterday. just showed a sort of a steely leadership, thought. leadership, i thought. >> he'll be a calming >> i think he'll be a calming influence around camp. >> just whether someone >> it's just whether someone needles him and someone winds him might deliberately him up, they might deliberately try and do look, when it gets to the wire, when people are voting , do you think he can win or do you think he'll get sort of edged out by one of the others that you've seen so? well, i think what i'd like to say to the general public is, you know, i mean, yourself in that

i mean, put yourself in that situation who situation regardless of who you are of what your work is. >> i mean, is.— >> i mean, he's a is. >> i mean, he's a human being like all of us. and i think if you look at the guy and look at him, take him for what he is, i mean, he seems to me like he's going to be someone goes a going to be someone who goes a long the camp. long way within the camp. >> i think. i think there's every opportunity and so many of us on. fatima, us willing him on. fatima, thank you so indeed for sharing you so much. indeed for sharing those absolutely those thoughts. absolutely fascinating fatima fascinating that folks, fatima whitbread, our whitbread, of course, our brilliant thrower brilliant javelin thrower and a former i think former contestant who i think you didn't you? you came third, didn't you? >> twice. >> i came third twice. >> i came third twice. >> you came third twice. look at that. not once, but twice. now, let's look at what anton let's just look at what anton deck to say yesterday on the deck had to say yesterday on the show news. and of show about us. gb news. and of course, there's the man who's got everyone talking, nigel farage. >> nigel farage. now nigel is not just known for his controversial political career, he's also got his own show on gb news. >> now, of course, he won't be presenting that show over the next three weeks, so we'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to all of gb news viewers. >> keith. sorry, linda ,

>> sorry, keith. sorry, linda, for how rude is that ? for how rude is that? >> i nearly fell off my chair when i was watching that. well, and i'm delighted to say that we now have some of nigel. s regulars. we have many keith's we have many. linda's but we have a keith and a linda on the line. regular viewers . very good line. regular viewers. very good evening to you both. thanks for joining us. did you first of all, you , linda, did you watch all, you, linda, did you watch it last night ? how comfortable it last night? how comfortable were you with with what anton had to say about gb news? >> right. i did watch some of it last night. i confess to not watching all of it . last night. i confess to not watching all of it. i'm not a fan of theirs , but as much as fan of theirs, but as much as i am of yours . um. but i thought am of yours. um. but i thought their remark was . i don't know. their remark was. i don't know. um well , i their remark was. i don't know. um well, i don't know. it's a family show, so we probably linda better keep it clean. but i was going to say, it's an honour for them to say for me to

be one of your to visit, too. absolutely right. listen i'll come back to you, linda. thank you, keith, did you did you watch the whole show? >> what did you what do you think? how do you think nigel is doing ? doing? >> yes. i watched the whole show. richard, evening. show. richard, good evening. nice you. um, yeah, nice to talk to you. um, yeah, thought nigel did really well . thought nigel did really well. really, really well. he was cool, calm, collected, very self—assured, confident . a man self—assured, confident. a man for a crisis there. once there. um, and thought he did really well and think he take everything in his stride in the jungle. i think he's stand up for himself , though, uh, without for himself, though, uh, without being rude. like ant and dec were absolutely right. >> and i mean, linda, this is, you know, it's not easy for nigel. he's a man with strong views. you heard from fatima there that someone might deliberately rile him. do you think. do you think he'll keep his cool? linda i. >> i think he will. i have every

confidence that he will keep his cool and just. i watched a bit when , you know, he put his head when, you know, he put his head through that that doorway and saw all those snakes and the lady next to him screamed and nigel was so calm, he did it. he tookitin nigel was so calm, he did it. he took it in his stride and he did it . and i think that's going to it. and i think that's going to be him. >> hopefully the truth is, linda, he's had plenty of experience of dealing with snakes in the world of politics in brussels. >> that's absolutely . >> that's absolutely. absolutely. yes, that's true . absolutely. yes, that's true. >> i have to say, i'm not a snake fan. and that would give me a serious problem. i think i'd be closer to the nail reaction in keith, just to you. so how far do you think nigel can go? do you think he can win it? and will you be watching it all the way through or or if he if gets sort of hoofed out, if he gets sort of hoofed out, will you drop it? >> yeah, i'll stop watching it as soon as nigel is out. but >> yeah, i'll stop watching it as soon as nigel is out . but i as soon as nigel is out. but i think this is the dilemma. this is watching it for. is what i'm watching it for. this the dilemma itv.

this is the dilemma for itv. he's pantomime villain, he's the pantomime villain, isn't he, year and they'll isn't he, this year and they'll want to keep him in because pantomime villains get ratings . pantomime villains get ratings. uh, but they would like him to. to leave the jungle as soon as possible to humiliate him. so that's the dilemma itv are in. but i'm watching for nigel farage. i'm certainly not watching for ant and dec . watching for ant and dec. >> absolutely right. >> absolutely right. >> thank you very much. keith, just just coming back to you , just just coming back to you, linda. so you'll be watching your friends are watching. are your friends are watching. are you spreading the word ? we need you spreading the word? we need everybody vote for nigel so everybody to vote for nigel so he doesn't get kicked off. we do. >> yes, indeed. i will do my best to do that and support him. yes, i will. >> absolutely. fantastic. well, both of you, thank you so much indeed for joining both of you, thank you so much indeed forjoining us. i know that you've been at farage events, farage at large events around the country and around about of the country and many, many others. everyone watching listening. watching and listening. make sure download app. you sure you download the app. you get free votes. it's get some free votes. it's really, really important . we really, really important. we don't want those lefties , do we? don't want those lefties, do we? winning the day and getting nigel. i mean, they tried to

alongside
