3:02 am
we go. how's rishi sunak? just wandered into yet another trap. next . into yet another trap. next. >> good evening and welcome to gb news. and the top story tonight, britain's next government. it said , will face government. it said, will face big decisions on taxes and the size of the state. that's according to the institute for fiscal studies, unveiling its analysis of the major parties manifesto this morning, the think tank accused both labour and the conservatives of maintaining a conspiracy of silence on their spending plans. but the prime minister rishi sunak, insists tax cuts are possible, which his government would fund by spending less on welfare . however, the labour welfare. however, the labour leader, sir keir starmer ,
3:03 am
leader, sir keir starmer, rejected the institute's analysis completely, insisting that britain can do better. >> don't accept the forecasts that say we can't do better than this. the economy has flatlined for 14 years. that's exactly what we are wanting to change. that's why we've set out our plans for growth in our manifesto. so the choice is more stagnation , as we've seen for stagnation, as we've seen for the last 14 years, which hasn't done our country any good, or turn the page, rebuild, regrow our economy and create wealth so that across britain people feel better off. >> and this is how prime minister sunak responded we have a fully costed manifesto which can deliver tax cuts for people at every stage in their lives , at every stage in their lives, and that is largely funded by making sure that we can find some savings in the growth of the welfare budget, because it's been growing at unsustainable levels since the pandemic, we've set out a very clear plan to reform that, to support people into work. >> and in fact, the institute of fiscal studies acknowledged that last time around, when they said that that wasn't possible, that it was actually delivered. and
3:04 am
that's something that the institute of fiscal studies themselves have said. >> prime minister rishi sunak , >> prime minister rishi sunak, now labour, says it would end what it's calling diy dentistry in england if it gets into power at the election, labour accused the conservatives of taking nhs dental services to death's door, comparing the state of the sector to a charles dickens novel, labour says it would fund an extra 700,000 urgent appointments a year, with grants of £20,000 for new dentists in underserved areas. the conservatives recovery plan would see practices offering cash to take on new students, but the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, says that won't be enough . be enough. >> after 14 years of conservative government our nhs dentistry services have been left to rot and so have people's teeth. it's going to take time to rebuild nhs dentistry and that's why our starting point is 700,000 urgent dentistry appointments, so that we can meet people's needs without them
3:05 am
ending up in a&e, worse for them, and also more expensive for the taxpayer. we're going to take prevention measures , take prevention measures, particularly with children living in higher levels of deprivation , with supervised deprivation, with supervised tooth brushing in schools, an approach that's proven to work. >> shadow health secretary wes streeting they're now you may have meant, you may have noticed even, that it's a rather warmer outside tonight. and this week we're expected to get quite a boost in temperatures. and it's going to be good for the hospitality sector. we're told temperatures forecast to peak at above 30 degrees in london on wednesday, with most of the southeast of england seeing temperatures in the mid 20s. hotel bars and restaurant owners say it's a likely boost as outdoor eating and drinking take place as more people head out to enjoy those warmer evenings. and that's in contrast to britain's rather wet spring, which saw 30% more rainfall across england and wales than usual. that's the news for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go

3:07 am
government are also being investigated, but they have not yet been named. but has rishi sunak allowed himself to fall into a trap here? so there has reportedly never been a conviction for political betting by someone who may have been in the know. and it might not actually even be an offence. so as far as i can gather, section 42 definition of cheating as per the gambling act applies when you nobble a horse , bribe a you nobble a horse, bribe a croupier, or mark cards not when you have inside information that your bet is a dead cert. you have inside information that your bet is a dead cert . and the your bet is a dead cert. and the head of public affairs at the gambling commission is a chap called george synnott, who reportedly worked for the labour party in various positions for 15 years. apparently also praised starmer's election as labour leader on social media whilst he was working at the gambling commission. but regardless, regardless of all of that, rishi sunak came straight out and said this. >> i was incredibly angry , >> i was incredibly angry, incredibly angry when i learned about these allegations in the same anger that many of you will
3:08 am
feel and everyone watching. and it's right that they are investigated thoroughly. these are serious allegations , right, are serious allegations, right, that they're properly and thoroughly investigated as they are being independently , are being independently, including a criminal investigation, as you will be aware by the police . aware by the police. >> and now michael gove has compared the scandal to partygate, saying it looks like one rule for us and one rule for them. he also said this is the case that obviously any decision by anyone to use inside information to bet on the election date, that is wrong , election date, that is wrong, deeply regrettable, but i think the individuals concerned are now being investigated and until that process is concluded, i think it's difficult for me to say more. i don't know about you, but for me, the tone of both of those things gave the strong indication that everyone's guilty. and this is a massive disaster for which they deserve to be hung, drawn and quartered. it also means that nigel farage can say stuff like this for the conservative party, who seemed to these days
3:09 am
resemble something of an organised betting ring, the sheer level, the sheer level of greed and stupidity that leads people right at the heart of government who know when the election is going to be called to put on bets is astonishing, but perhaps sums up the self—entitled view that this conservative party has, after 14 years in government and labour, have obviously got stuck in as well, haven't they ? well, haven't they? >> the desperation over this betting story that is going around that goes to the heart of what the tories have become when they're first instinct in relation to a general election is not how do i serve the country ? how do i get the country? how do i get the message out? it's how quickly can i get to the bookies and make some money that instinct tells you everything about where this tory party is now. well not
3:10 am
to mention what's been going on on the internet as well, with people mocking it up as number 10 to 1 downing street or taking the route one approach and turning it into a betting shop as well . as well. >> so when it comes to this gamble gate scandal, what does it mean for you? is this worse than partygate? potentially, you might not care that much about partygate, but you catch my drift there. or have the tories just wandered in to a political trap here? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i've got the political editor for the express, sam lister. i also have journalist benjamin butterworth and the founder of global britain, aman bhogal founder of global britain, aman bhogal. sam, i'll start with you on this . is this actually on this. is this actually anything to do with rishi sunak ? anything to do with rishi sunak? >> i mean, it's a bit like asking my chief exec to take responsibility for all the stupid things i do outside of work, isn't it? and i'm sure you wouldn't be too thrilled about that. but, but the problem is, it doesn't really matter if it's right or wrong. if people have done right or wrong, it's broken
3:11 am
in the middle of an election campaign. and that is just really difficult . and i think really difficult. and i think actually, on the gambling side, you mentioned, you know, i think a very small number of people actually knew. so there might have been a big flurry of bets, but they could be people who just you can sense in westminster, the small changes. you might just get a sense of, yeah, there's something going on here. things that normally happen aren't happening or whatever. is that breaking the rules? i don't know, but it doesn't matter because ultimately it looks bad from the outside. yeah, exactly. >> and this is why i wonder whether or not rishi sunak has wandered into this trap with that initial response there. i'm so angry about this. i'm very angry about it. i mean, it just implies that to me, anyway, that he knows that everyone's guilty and that may well not be the case.i and that may well not be the case. i just think politically that was a little bit stupid. >> well, we don't know whether they're guilty, but he will know who was aware of the date of the election, who was close to those conversations. >> so he may have a lot more reason to be angry than we know at this stage. but i think what it tells you, because, you know, this started off as an investigation because there's
3:12 am
something called politically exposed person and because a candidate had made a bet, regardless of what they'd bet on, they had to report that. and then that meant they had to go investigate all these other people who had placed bets. it went from about £100 a day, going on the date of the general election to nearly six grand on the 21st of may, just before it was called. now, clearly that is very strange behaviour that all those people who work at the top of the tory party suddenly decided to do it . decided to do it. >> the other consequence is that we know morgan mcsweeney, who's one of the people in charge of labour's campaign, spotted this and thought, oh, they're about to call an early election. so it was an unbelievable mistake. and the only other thing i'd say is that it shows that the rot isn't just in tory mps. the idea that there are potentially people trying to cash in that run conservative party headquarters will never know how many labour mps put bets on anything, will we? but well, first of all, i don't think they i think it would be unwise to do it. but a labour mp is not going to have the inside knowledge that the head of campaigns potentially will soon find out. >> i mean, this is this is now a big story. okay but conceivably
3:13 am
people could have put bets on anything going forward on on the way that labour were going to vote on anything, on whether or not, you know, angela rayner was going to be made deputy leader. you could you could put all these. but anyone with any inside knowledge whatsoever, i mean, a man i just wonder, is this actually a massive story with serious public cut through, which, by the way, i say i may well be genuinely . or is this well be genuinely. or is this just a big media storm? well, look , i think i quite agree with look, i think i quite agree with michael gove when he says that look, it looks like one rule for us and one rule for them. >> that is, i think potentially the cut through it could have with the general public. look, let's be honest, the public still care more about immigration, an nhs crime and all the rest of it. however, having said that, let's not forget that rishi sunak , when he forget that rishi sunak, when he became leader, he promised us what did he claim that the grown ups were going to be in charge, you know, integrity and all the rest of that. so so it would have been better if we didn't face this crisis in two weeks from the election. and that's the bottom line of it. you know, why has the world's oldest and most successful political party has to deal with this? it is
3:14 am
because there is a certain issue that runs deep within conservative party hq, and the machinery that has to be tended to after this election is done and dusted. yeah. >> i mean, we see speak a lot, sam, about the social contract being broken and how people's taxes are now being spent on things that they absolutely don't want them to be spent on. but i also wonder if there's another aspect of the social contract here, which is an unspoken thing that people assume that the people governing them are in some way more intelligent or or capable. and actually, i think what this shows is that they might all be a bit thick. >> i mean, there is there is something quite basic about it, isn't there? if you are in a position of knowledge and then you use that to go and place a bet and you do it for quite a measly amount. this is the other aspect. >> sorry , but you make a great >> sorry, but you make a great point. £100. i wouldn't , point. £100. i wouldn't, wouldn't you bet the house? >> in a way, you know, i'd be inclined if i was going to go for it, i think. >> i think i'd do it or you know, go big or go home. >> i think, you know, it's one of those, isn't it? and it's
3:15 am
like you just think you've thrown away your reputation for hardly any cash. it's really silly. but also there is this really core thing that all mps kind of ought to remember when they're doing anything. it how would this look on the front page, on front pages in the morning? and if you are okay with what you've done and you can defend it and you can take that, then fine. but if you know it's going to look bad, why are you doing it? you know, yeah. >> in the interviews for people that wanted to be labour mps, one of the questions every prospective candidate was asked was how would this comment you make look on the front of the daily mail? i think the tories could have done with asking their own candidates. >> let's not forget, i mean, how labour selected its candidates in the last week, leading up to the last two weeks. i mean, let's be honest, this is this is an issue that cuts across all political parties in terms of candidate selection, in terms of integrity, in terms of sincerity , of what people aspire to be as an mp . and of course, that is an mp. and of course, that is something that cuts across really hard through to the general public as to, well, what on earth are these people wanting to do for us when they get elected? and i think you know, and obviously, i don't
3:16 am
think it's as bad as partygate to be honest. >> but the problem is that the consequence of partygate lies and of ppe contracts to people close to cabinet ministers tells a story that they're more interested in their own benefit than the country's benefit. and so this tells people that undecided voters that that is true, that they continue to behave in this way. and that's why it's toxic. >> this is another thing where i actually do just think rishi sunakis actually do just think rishi sunak is does not have the political instinct that is needed to be a successful prime minister. we saw it with d—day. d—day was a fantastic example of that. he lacks the core gut instinct that you would need, i think, to resonate with, and he let the tories let partygate get on top of them and they've let this get on top of them. they've massively led it and they're not attacking back. they're not hitting back with anything. you've got keir starmer there perfectly well within his rights to say all of the stuff that he said there to play that narrative out about, you know, they would rather go to the bookies than they would , think bookies than they would, think about how they're going to run the country. you've got nigel farage on top of a big union
3:17 am
jack bus again, well within his rights to peddle this narrative. and the tories are just wallowing in it. there is no comeback whatsoever for them. i just think potentially a bunch of duds . of duds. >> well, i mean, keir starmer, i mean, he's on the moral high ground now, isn't he? that's where he likes to be. but once he does get into power, if he does win next week, he's going to find all these problems. come and hit him pretty damn quick. you know, there is no, there's no kind of party political aspect to stupidity. and so he will be having to defend, silly things his mps have done pretty sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> that's true. i mean, look, yes, you know, this is of interest to the public, but more so than anything. >> i mean, look, tonight we heard on another channel the keir starmer say, yeah, he there are other channels on another channel, but on another channel saying look he accepted , the saying look he accepted, the decision of the british public on brexit. but how can we forget that this is the same man who campaigned for a second reference to reverse brexit, and that those are the issues that are the latest, the latest flip flop that we've got literally happened today, right. >> which is labour saying
3:18 am
initially, okay, it's really just going to be adults where there's going to be more trans blokes in women's, changing rooms . and then the education rooms. and then the education secretary came out and appeared to suggest that maybe they were going to reverse any kind of gender ideology banning in schools. so it's like they're coming for the kids now . and coming for the kids now. and then starmer is forced to retract that again. where are they on this ? where are all the they on this? where are all the tory attack lines? but thankfully we are going to be talking about all that a little bit later on. but before that, i just have to draw your attention very gently towards a very special programme. on wednesday and you are invited to be a part of it. join my live studio audience for sunak versus starmer . the verdict on patrick starmer. the verdict on patrick christys tonight as we bring you top analysis and reaction to the final leader's head to head of the campaign the event brings begins at 8 pm. you can find tickets on gbnews.com. now so yes, follow that all on your screen. or if you're listening on radio, i'll just read it out quickly one more time. so we do have sunak versus starmer. the verdict on patrick christys

3:21 am
3:25 am
tonight. only on gb news now, coming up one week after a mysterious he vanished. will cross live to tenerife. for all the latest on this bizarre hunt for jay slater. but first we'll labour water down our exit deal from the european union. will they reintroduce free movement ? they reintroduce free movement? it's time now for our head to head. it's time now for our head to head . so the eu's former brexit head. so the eu's former brexit negotiator michel barnier, has thrown keir starmer's plans to renegotiate britain's deal with the bloc into total chaos, after he told the telegraph there will be no renegotiation without a return to freedom of movement. speaking to the telegraph, barnier warned that the core rules of the single market cannot be cherry picked . he said cannot be cherry picked. he said it is one thing to say that we can revisit the relationship between the uk and the eu, but it's another thing to say we can open the single market. any uk government knows the rules of the single market. you cannot be in and out at the same time. keir starmer has vowed to revisit boris johnson's brexit
3:26 am
deal revisit boris johnson's brexit deal, outlining why on his campaign trail just last week. >> our central focus and mission, if we come into government, will be on growing the economy now that means investing, attracting investment and improving our relationship with the eu . with the eu. >> it's not about going back into the eu . we've left. we're into the eu. we've left. we're not going back. >> it's not about the single market or customs union. >> but i think everybody would say the deal we've got is not good enough . good enough. >> well he certainly changed his tune, hasn't he. since 2019. >> i'm really pleased that whatever outcome the next prime minister puts before us, whether that's a deal of some sort or no deal that's a deal of some sort or no deal, we've agreed that it must be subject to another referendum. and in that referendum. and in that referendum , remain must be an referendum, remain must be an option, and labour will be campaigning for remain. that's a really important point of principle . principle. >> so tonight i am asking will labour take us back into the free movement zone? let us know your thoughts. head to gbnews.com/yoursay. tweet me @gbnews. while you're there, go
3:27 am
and vote in our poll. the results to follow shortly. but going head to head on this. a former labour minister, bill rammell, and former mep and director of the centre for migration and economic prosperity, is stephen wolf. bill yet again , keir starmer is bill yet again, keir starmer is asking us to believe he's a completely different man to the man he's been for the entirety of the last 40 years, isn't he? he might be saying one thing now, but he could just say something else next week. we don't know him, do we? >> look, you know, the labour party and keir particularly reflected on the massive defeat we suffered in 2019 and we recognised the need to accept the outcome of the brexit recommend. referendum and move forward. >> does that not make him a populist bill? sorry to say. does that make him a populist? well, i have no ideology. >> no, no, no, it's about listening to people and responding to their views. but in terms of this debate, the idea that we're going to return to free movement is simply not going to happen under a labour government. yes, there will be.
3:28 am
and we want a better and a closer relationship with the european union. and actually a majority of people believe that that's the right way forward, but it's not going to be about a return to free movement. there will be a new agreement that's part of the existing agreement . part of the existing agreement. michel barnier will not lead that process. he's no longer the eu's lead negotiator. and when barnier talks about the eu's red lines, the eu has red lines until it doesn't have red lines. that's the way the eu negotiates. but we have enough mutual interest that i think we will get a better deal covering defence and security , covering defence and security, covering immigration, covering veterinary services and the chemical services and the chemical services industry and mutual recognition of professional qualifications. >> stephen is that based on anything other than wishful thinking ? thinking? >> i think to a certain extent it is. i mean , i knew michel it is. i mean, i knew michel barnier quite well. i met him in his office during the negotiations and i used to speak
3:29 am
with him for about 15 minutes once a month for over a year after the referendum occurred in strasbourg. what he says is the position that he's always held in respect of brexit and the way that we negotiated with the eu and the uk is that there is no way that we could get into the single market and the customs union without actually opening the doors to freedom of movement. but where the where i disagree with bill is, is this the eu has always been relatively smart . they like to relatively smart. they like to push things slowly over a period of time . and i believe that of time. and i believe that that's exactly what the labour party will do too. they want to get closer to each other , and get closer to each other, and what that actually means is actually being embedded by the rules and control of the eu commission's own regulations and laws. and as bill's just mentioned, they want to do chemicals, fishing, military vie also in relation to immigration, all these rules will be rules set by the eu and we will have
3:30 am
to agree them. if you want to get the terms of economic trade that rachel reeves wants . that rachel reeves wants. >> okay, bill, come back to that then. >> look , it's about mutual >> look, it's about mutual interest and it's not about being dictated to. but if you look at the polling evidence by 56% to 12, people believe we're worse off economically following brexit and people want us to have a better and a closer relation . ukip now we will relation. ukip now we will negotiate hard for that. the eu will negotiate hard on their side. but take one example immigration, where there's a huge mutuality of interest between the european union on the one hand and the uk on the other . we will work very hard at other. we will work very hard at that to get a returns and enforcement agreement. there's already talk of us being able to effectively return to the dublin convention, so that an asylum seeker can be returned to the first country that they transited through, wherever that occurs within europe. that's in
3:31 am
the eu's interest, and it's in our interest. >> well, why are you laughing at that? the dublin convention side of it, stephen? >> because let me ask, bill, how many people under the dublin convention in 2016, in britain asked to be returned and how many were returned? i can give you the answers now if you like. because it failed, then it will fail now . this is nonsense. this fail now. this is nonsense. this is it's a deterrent. and the i it was rwanda bill. yeah. we had we basically sent back 216 people in 2016 and we requested returns of 4000. the idea for that, going back to some sort of returns policy with the eu, will be some sort of golden egg to solving this issue is pie in the sky. it's fantasy politics, and it's really quite sad that people are actually considering this as a particular option, because it's doomed to failure. just as the way that we are trying to stop the boats under rishi sunak is doomed to failure , well, that's certainly doomed to failure. >> and that's not a deterrent. but part of the benefit and the
3:32 am
effect of the dublin convention was deterrence. and we want people to believe that if they come illegally to this country, that there's a real risk that they will be returned, allowing they will be returned, allowing the country of origin. i think that's hugely important . but that's hugely important. but there's also the defence and security areas where, you know, the eu is going to be looking to us, given what we bring to the table for greater cooperation. and i think we can have a defence and security pact. we can share intelligence , we can can share intelligence, we can share logistical support it, and in a whole variety of ways, if we get a better and a closer relationship with europe not returning to the eu, not rejoining the single market or the customs union, but a closer relationship , i the customs union, but a closer relationship, i think that's in our interest in the eu bill, isn't it? >> it is a massive question of credibility and i think, i think everyone would have to accept this, that you had a man so full of conviction in 2019 standing up and saying labour will back remain and then you've got a man
3:33 am
there equally full of conviction now saying he will respect the result of the referendum. i think it's reasonable to question what he really thinks and where we're really at with it all. but look, we will have to leave it there. i'm afraid so. no doubt this this argument will rear its head again. it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere any time soon. it's bill rammell, the former labour minister, and steven wolf, their former mep, and the director as well of the centre for migration and economic prosperity. so look, who do you agree with? will labour bring back freedom of movement? another bill on act says it won't stop at freedom of movement. it will be we must adopt the euro. we can't negotiate our own trade deals. the list will be never ending. martha says. if starmer says that he's ruled out free movement, i believe him. the same cannot be said. if sunak said it's a question of, again, the credibility gap that works both ways. completely accept that, gavin says we are woke. liberal civil service and benefits for immigrants fought for by starmer. every immigrant in the eu will travel to britain and we will be over as a nation. well, your verdict is now in. 79% of you think that labour will bring back free movement.
3:34 am
21% of you say that they weren't coming up. rishi sunak comes out swinging over labour's immigration plans as. >> they are queuing up in calais, waiting for a starmer government so they can come here and stay here. oh well. >> the sun's former editor kelvin mackenzie, reacts to that and takes aim at gary lineker very shortly. but next, conspiracy theories continue to plague the search for jay slater. his dad now claims that tenerife police are keeping the family in the dark. senior global reporter for mailonline nick pisa is live with us from tenerife and he's got the latest including a new cctv image of the missing teen. all very weird what's
3:38 am
wow. this is patrick christys tonight. only on gb news now. still to come. fleet street legend kelvin mackenzie joins me live to tackle this brewing war between nigel farage and boris johnson. whose side are you on? but first, the search for missing brit jay slater has entered its second week as police in tenerife continued to scour the treacherous terrain around the 19 year old's last known location . up to today. known location. up to today. this was the last recorded footage of jay slater at a music festival on the night before he went missing, but then this morning, his family released cctv footage from last monday evening. nearly ten hours after his last confirmed sighting . his last confirmed sighting. well, it was captured around 6 pm. in a village three and a
3:39 am
half miles from where he was last seen. the camera was located outside a church where jay's mother claims a man had come forward to say he saw someone matching her son's description sitting on a bench with two men. it's all got well , with two men. it's all got well, even weirder than it was to begin with, to be honest with you.the begin with, to be honest with you. the search forjay slater you. the search for jay slater i'm talking now about the mailonline senior global reporter. it's nick peter who is live from tenerife. look, nick, thank you very , very much. there thank you very, very much. there are some wild conspiracy theories flying around online. what do you think has happened to jay slater ? to jay slater? >> that's a good question. it's a it's a difficult one to answer. i think at the end of the day, what we do have to bear in mind is that there's a family here who are just looking for their their son, their sibling. they have no idea where he is. and obviously as time has gone on, they are beginning themselves to wonder what exactly has happened. initially, we all thought perhaps he he had maybe got lost up the mountain, but the fact that no one has seen him, there's been no trace
3:40 am
of him on that mountain, and the police and the mountain rescue have gone through that ravine with a fine tooth comb . you have with a fine tooth comb. you have to begin to ask yourself, as the family are beginning to as well, has someone possibly taken him because it all as you say? it does sound very weird. he. we know he went to this house, this airbnb where these two british guys were, and then we know that he he left that house and he asked the lady next door who runs the bar, how he gets back to plied as america's los cristianos area of south tenerife, where his hotel is. and that woman told me that she, although they couldn't understand themselves in language, she may put her fingers up and said ten, ten bus ten, which he seemed to understand . yet he then decides understand. yet he then decides to walk north up the mountain , to walk north up the mountain, away from los cristianos, because the same woman sees him a few minutes later going up the road, which obviously begs the question, why has he done that? and obviously he must have been reasonably compos mentis because
3:41 am
he's managed to walk half a mile up the road. yet his phone pings for the last time at this viewpoint, just above the village of masca. and they think he's headed towards the gorge, which just doesn't really add up if you ask me. >> no, it doesn't add up, does it? it does not add up. and i just wonder where we're at in terms of the family themselves . terms of the family themselves. this gofundme page has been set up that seems to have caused quite a bit of controversy onune quite a bit of controversy online at face value. obviously you know, completely innocent and could be used to try to employ additional resources or fly loved ones out there to look for him. but but that has caused a bit of a stir, hasn't it. >> yes. and they they've insisted that this , fund, which insisted that this, fund, which was £30,000, let's remember, was the target of the donations and, and we should say that they raised that within three days, which is quite phenomenal, really. but, debbie , the mother really. but, debbie, the mother has insisted to me that they have no intention of touching that, that money at all, because they, they, they just are relying on family and friends who are helping them out with
3:42 am
their accommodation here in tenerife and helping them out with meals and picnics and food to have at home that sort of stuff. so they are adamant that they will not touch that £30,000 and they they don't want to touch the £30,000. obviously, there's underlying suspicions as to what it's for , but i don't to what it's for, but i don't think it's right that we should go think it's right that we should 9° 9° think it's right that we should go go into that sort of territory because it is the realms of online sleuths as well. i mean, some of the theories that are going around are just absolutely incredible, andifs are just absolutely incredible, and it's just adding to the heartache of debbie and her, and jay's father , warren, and his jay's father, warren, and his brother zach, as well. >> yeah. i mean, it is it is fascinating stuff in a morbid way. i'm just reading something here, literally here from from the daily mail that was published a few hours ago. okay. so this is the headline. it says spanish police searching forjay slater investigate if his background is relevant to his disappearance . it as it emerges disappearance. it as it emerges the brit was involved in a machete and golf club attack that left the teenager fighting for his life in 2021. that is on the daily mail's website at the
3:43 am
moment. okay what do you read into that? what does that say about the way that the police are handling this now? because there's kind of two ways of looking at that, aren't they? which is that they can't find him and they're maybe trying to palm it off a bit or that that is relevant. >> well, i think you have to with any case of any disappearance, you have to look into the background just of the person that's gone missing to try and build up a picture. now, i understand that information was originally published on the spanish local newspapers here in the canary islands, and that's where it's come from. but they've obviously managed to find hold of some court copy from from back in the uk. and like i say, i'm sure that every element of his background is being investigated to try and piece a possible motive or a possible reason as to why he has disappeared. the police, i should say , are keeping a very should say, are keeping a very open mind. they're saying to me that they're not ruling anything out and they're not ruling anything in, and they're also not prepared to give a running commentary as well as to what they're doing. but we know we've been they've been up there with drones with dogs and with a
3:44 am
helicopter, and they have actually expanded the search further, in that park in northwestern tenerife. >> yeah, indeed. look, can i just say a massive thank you? and i do hope to chat to you again because, you know, you are obviously right there on the scene and you know a lot more about that than, frankly, most people as well, certainly more than any internet sleuth as well. so that's nick peter there, who's from tenerife for us, and he is the mailonline senior global reporter who's out there having a look at this jay slater case as we speak. so thank you very much. look coming up. will labour bring gender ideology back into your children's classroom . children's classroom. >> there are trans people. they have a right for their existence to be recognised. many people, many trans people are vulnerable and are deserving of support. >> but next rishi sunak comes out swinging for keir starmer's immigration. >> they are queuing up in calais waiting for a starmer government so they can come here and stay here. oh, i've got the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie, live
3:48 am
all right. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. coming up, i'll give you my take on whether or not you can trust labour on their trans plans. but first, rishi sunak has claimed tonight that sir keir starmer and labour will release migrants onto the streets if he becomes prime minister >> either you believe illegal migrants should not be in our country , they should be removed country, they should be removed to somewhere else or with keir starmer . they're all going to be starmer. they're all going to be released. all the people we've detained and they will be out on the streets and that's a choice for everyone. do you want illegal migrants on planes going elsewhere, or do you want illegal migrants out on your streets with labour? those illegal migrants will not be on planes to rwanda . they will be planes to rwanda. they will be out on our streets putting pressure on public services. and by the way, i can tell you now they are queuing up in calais, waiting for a starmer government so they can come here and stay here. oh i mean, there might be some truth to that. >> i think he would have a stronger case if there weren't already shed loads of illegal migrants on the streets, but this is how keir starmer responded. >> a nobody but nobody should be
3:49 am
making that journey across the channel. nobody. it's a breach of our borders . it's also, of our borders. it's also, i think, a matter of national security because the government should be deciding who comes to this country and we need to know who it is that's coming to this country . so we have to deal with country. so we have to deal with it. i take it very seriously. i do not accept that it's impossible to take down the gangs that are running this vile trade. and that's why in the first few days of government, if we're privileged to come in to serve, we will set up a border security command . security command. >> okay. kelvin mackenzie joins me now. kelvin. well, in the first few days, he's going to have an illegal migrant crisis on his hands, isn't he? >> he's going to have an illegal migrant crisis. i agree with him. there's probably thousands of them ganging up, getting ready to come over. and the idea of setting up this kind of border security new idea , can i border security new idea, can i say we've got one right now? and how well is that done ? this will how well is that done? this will not work. we will have a catastrophe very early on, and you'll be sitting there unable to do anything. and he will have
3:50 am
sold us a paape, and there'll be 200 majorities and god knows what. nothing is going to happen except it's going to get worse. and to be honest with you, the labour government know this because just to turn around and say, well, what is your idea? we're going to take out the we're going to take out the gangs that run it really, really . what do you think's been going on for the last seven years that hasn't worked right. what is it that labour are going to do? are they going to adopt my idea of sending in the sas. oh no. that's a, that's a, that's a human rights issue. we're never going to do that. so what are they going to do. we're going to go they going to do. we're going to 9° up they going to do. we're going to go up to them and say hello. we've got a 200 seat majority and we'd be very grateful if you stop sending those again. >> again, we're being asked now to believe , and plenty of people to believe, and plenty of people clearly are. millions of people are swallowing this. obviously the bloke who wanted illegal migrants to have more benefits in the uk, in fact went to court and won. and the bloke who, didn't want criminals on a plane
3:51 am
deported and in fact were successful. >> yeah, actually now wants to smash the gangs and has a massive problem with illegal immigration. well, i'm glad you put it like that, because that is the reality. the reality is that rishi, his heart was in the right place . he wasn't prepared right place. he wasn't prepared to be violent enough. that's the truth, right ? this guy to be violent enough. that's the truth, right? this guy is neither his head or his heart are in the right place. and from day one, it will be a disaster. my day one, it will be a disaster. my other point is that with a massive majority , he still won't massive majority, he still won't be able to afford to fill up the potholes. so we are looking at a terrible terror bill end to the conservative administration. they may be bad. this lot will be beyond awful. >> well, we'll have to wait and see. but certainly i think there is, although it's probably not particularly cautious to talk about putting bets on at the moment given the news agenda. but i do wonder if there is a bet to be had in the idea that keir starmer massive majority doesn't go the full five years as labour definitely won't make
3:52 am
them. >> there will be so many catastrophes that now this is the this is the other point about everybody wants to have some kind of success in an economic world. the uk , which economic world. the uk, which can't deliver success. people aren't working hard enough. they're they they can work very hard at filling forms in which says they're sick but actually going to work anymore. i'm afraid i don't do that. somebody else will do that. and when they do it, we want excessive amounts of taxation to fund our benefits. that will be a catastrophe. there is no good news for the uk. it may not have been good under the tories. it's going to be a disaster under laboun >> well, it's interesting because that's where is it on to talk about another party. this is the green party, their co—leader. anyone anyone know caledonia has been accused of hypocrisy after she made this admission . admission. >> what type of boiler do you have at home, at the moment i have at home, at the moment i have at home, at the moment i have a gas boiler and i'm literally in the process of getting quotes for replacing it with an air source heat pump.
3:53 am
i've had to put that on pause dunng i've had to put that on pause during the general election, as you can imagine. but i yeah, literally have quotes in my email inbox, which i'm hoping to action once the election is over i >> -- >> there's so much wrong with that, isn't there ? yeah, the that, isn't there? yeah, the green party has pledged to invest £9 billion over the next five years for heat pumps and other heating systems. presumably she's waiting for someone else to pay for it. calvin. she. >> well, she. that would be what she what she's done. she's had years to put in this heat pump. she's had about probably at least seven years. the issue is and she gets five grand or seven and she gets five grand or seven and a half grand from the government. right actually, what she said was actually even although i'm on x thousand pounds a year, i don't make enough. so she to actually put these heat pumps in and she's like everybody else, nobody, but nobody wants to take out a perfectly good gas boiler and replace it with a heat pump. so that is, you know, we haven't got enough money. we've hardly got enough money. we've hardly got enough money to enjoy ourselves. so why should we? we put a heat pump in. it's just
3:54 am
mad. she is mad. she's had years to do it. and now it was only when it was put to her. yeah, actually. oh, yeah. by the way, my inbox full of people trying to sell me it. i'm going to buy one. oh, that is rubbish. yeah i've had to put it on hold because of the general election campaign. >> why? just call someone, get round to your house. do it. you can do two things at once. >> make a great picture though, very quickly. >> gary lineker has attracted the ire of england players after he gave his abrupt analysis of the three lions performance against denmark was lethargic. >> it was dour, dour. i mean, you can think of all sorts of, you can think of all sorts of, you know, words and expletives if you like, but it was . if you like, but it was. >> is that about i'm fine, do you think? or is he actually spot on? look he's entitled to his view and nobody's trying to stop it very interestingly, by the way, he used his own, his own podcast business, right to say this. >> he didn't use the bbc. he used his own podcast business creates the row. loads of people come in, loads of advertising
3:55 am
follows. he then follows it up. today he is a commercial animal. it was only yesterday that he was swapping his . it was only yesterday that he was swapping his. he was swapping his t shirts and his his jackets . right. the guy is his jackets. right. the guy is at it. the bbc are steaming mad about his business. they should let him go. oh kelvin mackenzie on fire, as always. >> well, next hour, labour are about to bring gender ideology back into schools. can you trust them with your kids? stay tuned. >> for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> evening weather update time from the met office here on gb news. many of us having something of a hot spell over the next few days, but nothing exceptional for the time of yeah exceptional for the time of year. and it isn't going to last too long. in fact, already on tuesday we'll see cloud increasing across the northwest from these weather fronts that are trying to trickle in, but high pressure is dominating for many of us. has been quite
3:56 am
cloudy over wales and southwest england today. that cloud breaking up more through this evening. some mist and low cloud clinging to the south coast. and there's the cloud. i talked about bringing some patchy rain to the highlands and the western isles through the night. for most, though, a dry night, fine night and a warm one. temperatures holding up 15 or 16 degrees in most urban areas. so yes , it's going to be a warm yes, it's going to be a warm start to tuesday. and by the afternoon we could be topping out at 30 celsius. some mist and low cloud still around the coasts in the south, but generally plenty of blue sky here, and a brighter day for south wales and southwest england compared to today. but it will be a duller day for northern ireland, the cloud arriving here through the night and that cloud also getting into the highlands and the western isles. first thing. so a bit of a damp and drizzly start, but some sunshine for eastern scotland and through the central belt, at least initially. but the cloud will increase here as we go through the day . cloud we go through the day. cloud will bubble up also over parts of northern england and there is the likelihood of 1 or 2 very isolated but potentially quite
3:57 am
heavy showers over northern england during the afternoon. we'll see a bit of rain also for eastern scotland, maybe a few showers through the central belt , probably brightening up for northern ireland and the west coast of scotland. plenty of hot, hazy sunshine further south, 30 degrees likely close to london. wednesday again very warm with some sunshine across the south. a bit more mist and low cloud on the east coast, however, so it could be quite grey here, but a brighter day for northern ireland, some sunshine and again across the south and east, with some sunshine temperatures likely to top out around 30 celsius. that's all from me for now. goodbye >> it looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors
4:00 am
christys tonight. the saint george's flag is banned from taxis. why is patriotism bad ? taxis. why is patriotism bad? peter shilton's cbe joins us. and there are trans people. >> they have a right for their existence to be recognised. many people, many trans people are vulnerable and are deserving of support. >> is the labour party about to indoctrinate your kids with trans ideology? plus they are queuing up in calais waiting for a starmer government so they can come here and stay here. >> oh , rishi sunak accuses sir >> oh, rishi sunak accuses sir keir starmer of wanting to put illegal immigrants on our streets and however , until we streets and however, until we wake up and kemi badenoch doesn't exist anymore . doesn't exist anymore. >> nothing to see here, just a former doctor who, david tennant appearing to wish death upon kemi badenoch plus the absolute stop any notion that we're going to drill for more oil. >> we just can't do that . >> we just can't do that. >> we just can't do that. >> why are the eco fanatics such frothing hypocrites? also this is what boris said boris blames
4:01 am
the european union for war in ukraine. nigel farage doubles down and wages war on boris johnson, whose side are you on? i will have all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages with the political editor at the express, sam lister. i've got journalist benjamin butterworth and the founder of global britain, aman bhagat. and can you guess what happens next here? >> oh. >> oh. >> get ready britain. here we go our labour going to pump trans ideology into your kids. next. >> two minutes after ten. this is gp news and the top story.
4:02 am
britain's next government will face big questions on taxes and the size of the state, according to the institute for fiscal studies. unveiling its analysis of the major parties manifestos this morning, the think tank accused both labour and the conservatives of maintaining a conspiracy of silence on their spending plans. but the prime minister rishi sunak, insists tax cuts are possible and says his government would fund them by spending less on welfare . by spending less on welfare. >> we have a fully costed manifesto which can deliver tax cuts for people at every stage in their lives, and that is largely funded by making sure that we can find some savings in the growth of the welfare budget, because it's been growing at unsustainable levels since the pandemic, we've set out a very clear plan to reform that, to support people into work. and in fact, the institute of fiscal studies acknowledged that last time around, when they said that that wasn't possible, that it was actually delivered. and that's something that the institute of fiscal studies themselves have said. rishi sunak well, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, rejected the
4:03 am
institute's analysis altogether, insisting that britain can and should do better. >> don't accept the forecasts that say we can't do better than this. the economy has flatlined for 14 years. that's exactly what we are wanting to change. that's why we've set out our plans for growth in our manifesto. so the choice is more stagnation , as we've seen for stagnation, as we've seen for the last 14 years, which hasn't done our country any good, or turn the page, rebuild, regrow our economy and create wealth so that across britain people feel better off. >> nigel farage tonight claimed the former us president donald trump learned a lot from watching his european parliament speeches before running for the us presidency. we've seen tonight on itv's the leader, interviews mr farage respond to the idea that he's britain's version of donald trump, saying i think we're very different, but i also think we think the same on many issues. >> he's learnt quite a lot from me. i think it goes both ways. yeah. >> what's he learned from you? >> what's he learned from you? >> oh, i think he was. i mean he
4:04 am
was watching my speeches in the european parliament for many years really before he, before he decided to run. >> yes. he's told you that. >> yes. he's told you that. >> i know that to be true . >> i know that to be true. >> i know that to be true. >> now, in other news tonight, the search for missing british teenager jay slater continues on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19 year old disappeared while on holiday last monday and yesterday police were searching a village near the last location his phone was traced to. but there is still no sign of him. search teams were also out today , but jay has still not been heard from since calling one of his friends, telling her he was lost and his phone was running out of battery. just lastly, princess anne is in hospital after sustaining minor injuries and concussion after being kicked by a horse on her gatcombe park estate in gloucestershire yesterday . a gloucestershire yesterday. a palace statement went out today saying the king has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family in sending his fondest love for a speedy recovery . that's the news. for

recovery. that's the news. for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts . scan the qr code gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts . com slash alerts. >> welcome along. how's the labour party? just let the big lgbt cat out of the bag. when it comes to kids in schools, some say a vote for labour means a vote for more men in women's changing rooms. they want to make it easier for adults to legally transition . so that's legally transition. so that's adults we're talking about here. it's expected they will remove the need for trans people to prove that they have lived in their preferred gender for two years. the spouse of an applicant would also not be required to give consent for applications which could be signed off by a single specialist doctor. the tories say this will make it easier for predators to target women and it comes right at the same time as nhs nurses are taking legal action because they are being forced to change in the same room. as a biological man who is
4:06 am
apparently actively trying to get his own girlfriend pregnant, but says he identifies as a woman called rose. one of the lawyers for the nurses said extreme transgender ideology was putting women at risk, adding this cannot be right and we want a change in policy not only at our hospital but across the nhs and wider society. jk rowling has slammed sir keir starmer over the weekend for letting women down over the trans debate. but now labour seem to be going even further. here's the woman who could be your next education secretary. >> there are trans people within society and there their existence should be recognised . existence should be recognised. so, you know, this is this drifts, i think , sometimes into drifts, i think, sometimes into a slightly bizarre conversation. there are trans people, they have a right for their existence to be recognised . many people, to be recognised. many people, many trans people are vulnerable and are deserving of support. alongside that, we've got to make sure that schools have got clear guidance about how best to support children and young people that are experiencing
4:07 am
distress and issues around their wellbeing, so what does that mean? reading between the lines, their gender ideology taught to your children and grandchildren under a labour government? well, it did cause outrage. a lot of people were speculating about that online. so sir keir starmer told reporters this in kettering, no , i'm not in favour kettering, no, i'm not in favour of ideology being taught in our schools on gender. i do think teachers need guidance. i think we need to complete the consultation process and make sure that there is guidance that is age appropriate. well, his spokesman went on to say that labour was opposed to any kind of ideological teaching . and of ideological teaching. and tonight he told the sun's never mind the ballots, that about gender transition process. he said this and i saw for myself how important those women's spaces are, and they must be protected, whether it's in that area, whether it's single sex wards or sport, that must be protected, we mustn't go down the route of self identification, but we do need to recognise the procedure or the process at the moment is not
4:08 am
dignified , but none of this adds dignified, but none of this adds up. they say one thing one day and another thing another day. their policies seem to say one thing about making it easier for blokes to be in women's changing rooms. and then he's saying, well, no, we can't have that . well, no, we can't have that. where are they on the schools debate? it all seems a bit muddled. the questions are this, aren't they? will labour put women at risk? will labour allow children to be indoctrinated by transgender ideology? let's get the thoughts from our panel this evening. political editor at the express. sam lister, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, and as well the founder of global britain. it is aman bhagat. sam i'll come to you on this. do you think that labour can be trusted with our nation's kids? >> no. on the issue of where trans rights and women's rights meet , keir trans rights and women's rights meet, keir starmer has changed his position consistently trying to get a straight answer out of him and the rest of the labour party on this issue is like trying to nail jelly to the wall
4:09 am
and i mean, he's changed his position so many times that i don't know how anybody can trust the party on this. i think there's two different things, aren't there? there is the issue with the schools guidance now, the schools guidance that the conservatives are promising is that no child is taught about gender ideology , bridget gender ideology, bridget phillipson, there was saying that that might be up for review . now, that is crucial because most adults do not understand the complexity complexities of this argument. so how can you expect children to understand what's going on? and then on the other side of it, i think that keir starmer last week said, oh, i agree with tony blair on the definition of a woman. well, why did it take a man to tell him what women have been saying to him for years, years and years and years, but didn't want to listen? rosie duffield throne, you know, just thrown under the bus. women in the party. i know that women in the labour party meet secretly to discuss these issues and have a secret whatsapp group because they are afraid of what happened to rosie
4:10 am
duffield happening to them. so you know how can they be trusted on this issue? they change all the time. >> okay, benjamin, is it not fair for people to say that a vote for labour means a vote for more blokes in women's changing rooms and kids being taught all this trans tosh? >> no, that's a nasty slur worthy of worthy of kelvin mackenzie. and the things he would write in the sun in the 19805 would write in the sun in the 1980s about gay people. it is a nasty and unnecessary comment that doesn't help anybody , trans that doesn't help anybody, trans kids or otherwise. you know, the fact is, for a start , about the fact is, for a start, about the two doctor thing is that, as a gp said on this channel, the other day, who's gender critical, the second doctor would typically just sign off what the first one has done. after a proper assessment, a specialist doctor. so if that were changed, it really isn't making a tangible difference. and i don't know how many are rejected for that. i suspect it's a very small number in the first place. >> should gender ideology be taught to kids? there's no such thing as gender ideology. >> there are facts of life. gay people exist, transgender people exist. and it was 2003 when i started secondary school. that was when the ban on so—called
4:11 am
sexuality in ideology was lifted . you know, if i'd been a year older, i would have been at school under rules that ban gay people being mentioned in public schools in state schools or in pubuc schools in state schools or in public libraries. and we're doing the same against trans people. >> so, so in your in your view, just just so we're clear. so in your view a labour government should allow teachers to talk to primary school children about whether or not they've been born into the wrong body. >> i think people should be kids should be educated on the facts of the world, and you're not doing children and young people any favours by misleading them about who they might be and what the world looks like. >> all right. eamonn. so? so i mean, if that is labour's position and it's backed by, you know, benjamin and they enact that, do you think that's popular? do you think people should vote for that? >> well, not at all. i mean, i think as we're seeing with so many things unravelling with the labour campaign, it looks to be a government of no alternative by the by so many things that actually people don't agree with actually people don't agree with a lot of what labour has or has not to say it depends what time of the day you ask the labour
4:12 am
leader, but i think i would agree with a lot of what sam said earlier, but also with jk rowling. i think labour show a dismissive and often offensive approach to the concerns of women. and that's the crux of all this, what all this is about, it's about the well—being of women and the rights of women and womanhood and that, look, women have a certain right that is hard won over the last century , of having their own century, of having their own spaces being recognised for who they are as a gender. there are only two genders, male and female. and women have that right to be women . right to be women. >> so, sam, the tory criticism today has been that a labour government would make it easier for predators to access women's spaces.is for predators to access women's spaces. is that unfair? >> well , i've got spaces. is that unfair? >> well, i've got kemi badenoch writing a piece for us in tomorrow's paper explaining why she believes that is the case. and we have to remember all the way through this debate. it's not about, trans people. it's about the trans extremists around those people who are
4:13 am
allowing these changes or pushing for these changes , which pushing for these changes, which would allow effectively, men to access women spaces. and you only have to see that when this ideology clashes with reality , ideology clashes with reality, it just doesn't work. we saw that with isla bryson, and we've seen that with those nurses. >> this is a good point. and benjamin, i do think we are currently living in an example of what this ideology means, right? which is that in that particular nhs trust at the moment, you've got a load of nurses who are saying there is a fully biological man there who is actively trying to get his message pregnant, who identifies now as a woman called rose . and now as a woman called rose. and he is, they say, staring at us as we're getting changed. we're having panic attacks over this now, and the nhs is telling us we just need to sort it out. i mean, with respect is that not just what a labour government would do now? >> no. and that's unacceptable. probably sackable and probably illegal regardless of who were to behave. >> but i mean, it isn't the nhs, the ideology on their colleagues. yeah, but the way ,
4:14 am
colleagues. yeah, but the way, the way how do you define that. fine. but the way they've gone about it, the way they've gone about it, the way they've gone about it, the way they've gone about it, is to say that those nurses need to educate themselves and be more tolerant of trans people, as opposed to saying you're concerned by what may well be a predator. anyone that feels uncomfortable by a colleague glaring at them should raise that regardless of the situation. >> but frankly, you could raise that. you could put that same point to a to a lesbian colleague among female nurses. it would be inappropriate. whatever the description of the person, and it ought to be illegal. and also the suggestion doesn't have a penis, though, benjamin. the suggestion that they'd get undressed in front of each other. nobody should have to undress in a changing room in front of colleagues. i would never do that. >> i mean, it is a change. well, well, that's ridiculous, but i don't use changing rooms. >> i would never get undressed. >> i would never get undressed. >> so you wouldn't agree with same sex simon mayall? >> it's not. it's not an accountancy firm. >> we wouldn't get undressed in front of each other all the time. >> i would. i don't think anybody should be expected to do that. i wouldn't do it in front of another man. i think it's inappropriate. so that should. >> why do you go to the gym? where do you get changed? >> well, you make note. i don't go to the gym, but when i have
4:15 am
gone to the gym in the past, i would never get changed in front of other people. i walk home because i find it uncomfortable and i don't think that would be unreasonable. and that's a way to resolve this. >> well, i don't have private changing rooms, i don't. >> i know that trans people should be unable to lead their lives because of because of nasty smears that they have. mal intention, i think, is what is the gross owen paterson all i'd add to this. >> you're saying while we're sitting here on this sofa discussing this subject, let's look, look, look around us. you know, this boils down to common sense. and if you look at the world around us, the chinese, the russians , the indians, the the russians, the indians, the americans, well, it depends which part of america you're in. they're laughing at us that this is what we are discussing here tonight and here in this election campaign, not what really matters to the british pubuc really matters to the british public care about the view of a communistic tater in china. >> no, no, because they're a threat to us. >> they're a threat to us. and the fact that, no, not at all. >> this shows we're doing the wrong thing. >> yes it is. »- >> yes it is. >> communists because we're not paying >> communists because we're not paying attention to what really m atters. matters. >> and that is taking on the chinese communists. >> we shouldn't let commies in china and russia dictate that if they were to do that, that we'd
4:16 am
be throwing gay people off buildings because that's what happensin buildings because that's what happens in some parts of those countries. >> no, i think i think you don't quite understand the grasp of what i'm saying here. what i'm saying is we should be taking let me say, we should be taking this time to discuss how we take on the chinese communists, not on the chinese communists, not on this wishy washy subject that doesn't affect the vast majority of the british public. >> and most of all, and most of all, it affects the rights of woman. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> in what world is it right that women are. let me finish. what in what world? is it right that a woman should have to contend with someone who's pretending to be a woman, to be let into her safe space? >> first of all, first of all, you appear to be saying that we should care about what china thinks on how we conduct ourselves, and that somehow trans rules are going to. >> that's not what i'm saying at all. >> china or russia acts. >> china or russia acts. >> can i just and secondly, can i just point out the nonsense in the two year thing? >> the law as it stands, says that they have to illustrate that they have to illustrate that they have lived in their identified gender for two years. there are no laws about whether someone can go into a particular pubuc someone can go into a particular public bathroom. there are none. >> so can i just you know, give
4:17 am
the final word to you on this really, you know, do do you think we're going to end up with a situation where there's going to be more of these type of nhs nurse legal issues under a labour government, the nhs added changes to its rules on this in an appendix , in some document, an appendix, in some document, without any consultation to anybody . anybody. >> it's already embedded in the nhs mindset , the fact that for nhs mindset, the fact that for nurses it's actually eight nurses it's actually eight nurses for have gone public. i feel deeply uncomfortable about a man being in their changing room that is just the tip of the iceberg. you know, if this if men are allowed access to women's spaces freely , i just women's spaces freely, i just think it's really very, very upsetting for women. and labour talk all the time about kindness and dignity, but they never seem to care about kindness towards women and dignity towards women. well, that that would be jk rowling's view on it all. >> although unless i have misinterpreted a tweet that she put out earlier, i think she might have also been driving people towards the communist
4:18 am
party earlier on today. so, you know, hey, i suppose she's got a she's a broad church. anyway, look, now we do have a special program on wednesday, which i'm looking forward to telling you about right now. you are all ianed about right now. you are all invited to be a part of it so you can join my live studio audience for sunak versus starmer, the verdict on patrick christys tonight as we bring you top analysis and reaction to the final leader's head to head of the campaign. the event begins at 8 pm. so you can find your tickets right now by going to gbnews.com. so just go to gbnews.com. so just go to gbnews.com. you'll find all the information that you need right there. coming up a—list actress. is that fair enough? emma thompson has waded into the climate debate once again. >> i am not hearing enough about it at all. it's the it's the most. on it at all. it's the it's the most. oh yeah , vital issue of most. oh yeah, vital issue of our time. well they're not talking about it in business class, on ba or on the super yacht that you've been pitching. >> no they weren't not enough about it there anyway , we'll about it there anyway, we'll reveal a little bit all later on in the show. but next, as london mayor sadiq khan stands accused of banning the capital's taxi
4:19 am
4:22 am
4:23 am
. but first, with england continuing their journey in the euros , london mayor sadiq khan euros, london mayor sadiq khan stands accused of brazenly banning the capital's cabbies from flying or displaying the saint george's flag on their vehicles. so taxi drivers wanted to show their support for the national team, have been told. any display of england flags, or even stickers with their vehicles , could cause a vehicles, could cause a distraction to other motorists and therefore are prohibited. that's right. so it's going to be distracting to other motorists. the cabbies are furious, saying the flags are no more distracting than commercial adverts being allowed on buses and other vehicles. some have accused sadiq khan of pandering to communities that may be offended by the flag. interestingly, there is no such ban for taxi drivers in other parts of the uk, leaving london's drivers facing potential prosecution and losing their taxi licence if they dare display the england flag on their car. meanwhile, london is currently plastered with flag supporting pride. there we are and palestine. so is this just
4:24 am
the english flag? the problem for the mayor? i now welcome the england national football team's all time appearance record holder. it is peter shilton cbe. peter look, thank you very, very much. what do you make of the fact that black cabbies now are banned from flying the saint george's flag ? george's flag? >> i couldn't quite believe it, patrick. i mean, it's incredible isn't it? i mean, it's been going on for years now where after all, over the world, countries all over get on the streets and celebrate their, their national flag and, football teams in particular. and we're no exception. you know, how all of a sudden , you know, how all of a sudden, you know, how all of a sudden, you know, this could cause problems? i don't understand the thinking about it. i mean, we've got, you know , for england, the england know, for england, the england team, i mean, they're training facilities, saint george's park and you know, it's been named after the flag, you know , and we
4:25 am
after the flag, you know, and we have the taxi drivers. i'll never forget it. on, on the mall at the, you know, the coronation on lining up to show their respects to to the the king. they're fantastic people. and, it's just ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous. and it wasn't there, you know, that it was possibly something to do with, you know, something to do with, you know, some of the woke elements in, in london. >> well, i'm glad i'm glad that you've raised that because people point out, oh, back in 2012, when boris johnson was mayor all flags were banned. yeah. all right. but since then, sadiq khan has been mayor since, i believe 2016. so he's had a heck of a long time to do away with that particular policy. i also just genuinely do not buy the excuse. so they say it will be a distraction to other motorists . so you're telling me motorists. so you're telling me that motorists driving around our capital city would not be distracted by buckingham palace? big ben , the houses of big ben, the houses of parliament or downing street? they wouldn't be distracted by some of this country's biggest landmarks, but they would be distracted by a saint george's
4:26 am
flag on the side of a taxi. they also peter, apparently because this is allowed , would not be this is allowed, would not be distracted by an actual black cab entirely painted in a rainbow flag sticker . do you buy rainbow flag sticker. do you buy this? this excuse? >> well, that's what i've said. it was ridiculous at the beginning. i mean, it's so laughable that it's a bit sad, really , isn't it? you know, i really, isn't it? you know, i mean, we're a very diverse country, you know , we let people country, you know, we let people protest, you know, whatever flags they want, you know, and i think we're very tolerant. flags they want, you know, and i think we're very tolerant . you think we're very tolerant. you know, there's elements obviously within the country that i think , within the country that i think, you know, don't like our country, even though they live here and want to pull us down, |, here and want to pull us down, i, you know , i'm not saying i, you know, i'm not saying sadiq khan is that. but it seems a very strange decision after what i said. you know, it's been going on for years and i can't remember too many crashes or too many people getting injured, you know, in the streets of london or anywhere else. so it's just
4:27 am
it's just another one of these things that we're trying to put up with in this country. you know, they're trying to just, basically say that, you know, we shouldn't we shouldn't really celebrate our country, you know? yeah >> do you think patriotism now is seen as a bad thing ? is seen as a bad thing? >> well, it seems a little bit in this country only by certain people. no, generally, i mean, we're a very patriotic country. i think the silent majority , you i think the silent majority, you know, are right behind the country. i always say , you know, country. i always say, you know, that when there's any show on tv or something where we've got a judge in this country, we usually get it right, you judge in this country, we usually get it right , you know, usually get it right, you know, so there is a big silent majority that that love this country and are probably feeling the way i feel . but the way i feel. but unfortunately there's people in power that , that seem to want power that, that seem to want to, you know, disrupt that and pull that apart. it's just it's too ludicrous for words. >> you know, there's also an argument to be, said, peter, that if people are offended by the flag of this country , i
4:28 am
the flag of this country, i mean, forgive me, but, you know, there are several airports nearby, aren't there? there? maybe they could go to a country where there'd be less offended by a particular flag. it does just seem bizarre to me that we 9°, just seem bizarre to me that we go, oh, just in case it offends anybody, i don't buy this distraction. the idea that it's a distraction is complete rubbish. it's complete rubbish . rubbish. it's complete rubbish. you'd be distracted by it. it's just it's patently untrue. right. so it must be that there's a fear. they don't they don't want to show the, the saint george's flag. i mean people, people could just leave couldn't they. >> yeah. well we've had we've had this with, you know, with the, with the england football shirt , you know, changing the shirt, you know, changing the colours from red, white and blue which is , which is, you know, which is, which is, you know, national flag and, yeah , it's national flag and, yeah, it's just things that seem to be trying to be put in place, trying to be put in place, trying to be put in place, trying to nibble away at our, our identity as a country. trying to nibble away at our, our identity as a country . and our identity as a country. and i'm sure that, you know, people won't put up with it. but at the
4:29 am
end of the day, we are diverse . end of the day, we are diverse. as i said, you know, there's plenty of people who really support our country, who come from other countries. you know, but there is an element, i think, of wokeness that , yeah, think, of wokeness that, yeah, this is wrong. you know, this, this is wrong. you know, this, this country shouldn't be like it is even though they're living there. you know, they're just very finely, peter, with you. >> would this have happened in your day when you were playing for, for england? and actually because i expect to know the answer. do you actually think we were a better country than were were a better country than were we a bit happier, do you think in some respects or not? >> not so complicated. no. i mean, i just remember coming back from the world cup in 1990 at luton airport, and there must have been 3 or 400,000 people waiting for us in the streets . waiting for us in the streets. and it was incredible. red, white and blue everywhere , you white and blue everywhere, you know, no, i think i think it has changed. you know, life has changed. you know, life has changed. i mean, from when? from as i've progressed through my life, i think it's probably at the moment it's probably the worst. it's been, you know, i
4:30 am
mean, there's always been sort of attitudes and, and problems with, with things. but i think now it seems to be cropping up all the time. and this to me is just a, you know, i feel really sorry for the cabbies because , sorry for the cabbies because, you know, as i said, they're really patriotic. the majority of them. i can't speak for everybody. >> peter. can i just say a massive thank you? it's always a pleasure to have you on. it's great to be able to speak to you.so great to be able to speak to you. so you take care. i'll talk to you again very, very soon. as former england goalkeeper peter shilton cbe. well, a tfl spokesperson said for the safety of all passengers and drivers, we have guidelines about what can be displayed in our taxis and private hire vehicles. only official signs and stickers can be displayed. any other signage or flags are not permitted because they could cause a distraction to other drivers and other road users. these guidelines apply to all flags and signage. i ask you, do you think they would threaten cabbies to remove their license ? cabbies to remove their license? seriously, if en masse, they decided to walk them out and back? pride no, i don't think
4:31 am
so. or palestine for that matter. no i don't think so. coming up, as scotland supporters fly home from the euros, roughly how many weeks will it take them to sober up again? oh will it take them to sober up again? on but next i bring you the very first look tomorrow's newspaper front pages with my panel of fiery pundits.
4:34 am
okay. welcome back. everybody. it's time for me to bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it . tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it. i tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it . i start, tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it. i start, as even pages. let's do it. i start, as ever, with the metro dungeon plot to kidnap tv's holly security guard had ultimate fantasy to rape the star. a convicted kidnap plotter hatched a detailed plan to have holly willoughby murdered after raping her in a dungeon where her screams can't be heard for miles. a court was told. grief,
4:35 am
let's go to the i. tories and labour refused to rule out ten tax rises as ifs urges leaders to come clean. okay, fine. it's all tax, tax, tax and, i hate to break it to you, everybody. if you didn't know this already, they're all lying to you a bit and your taxes are probably going to go up. so spoiler alert . let's go to the daily mail. yeah they lead with this holly plan as well. security guard wanted to make sorry to take tv star to the dungeon. that's what the court was told. obsessed holly fan plotted to rape and murder. i mean, it's absolutely astonishing. this story really? absolutely ridiculous. it's called gavin plumb. he allegedly assembled a restraint kit, including handcuffs, metal ties and chloroform to subdue the former itv this morning star, yeah, i've got a lot of questions about that, anyway , questions about that, anyway, let's go to also this one now an in hospital dash after being hit on the head by a horse. apparently princess anne is now largely fine. the times conversion therapy to be banned by labour tories axed policy to avoid criminalising parents.
4:36 am
labour would introduce a full ban on conversion therapy if it wins the election, despite warnings that doing so may encroach on parents and therapists freedom to talk to children about gender identity matters. they've also got the princess anne story . she is princess anne story. she is recovering well after being kicked by a horse . that horse, kicked by a horse. that horse, no doubt, will find its way into a tesco's lasagne quite soon. let's go to the daily telegraph. scotland yard leak names in tory batting scandal. the police are accused of revealing the identity of those suspected on gambling on the election date. so there we go. those are those are your front pages. all right. okay. i'm going to whizz you back over to my wonderful panel. now i am joined by the fantastic political editor at the express. it's sam lister, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, and the founding chairman of global britain uk , chairman of global britain uk, ummon bogle, yeah. i mean , we ummon bogle, yeah. i mean, we have spoken quite a bit on the, yeah. have spoken quite a bit on the, yeah . well, on a few of the yeah. well, on a few of the topics that are on the front pages, really, i'm just wondering which one to focus on, really. i mean, we've done a lot
4:37 am
of tax, haven't we? i can't really mention a lot of this holly stuff because it's an active court case, but, yeah. five years of tax rises ahead. migrants in calais wait for labour wins as the daily telegraph shall we focus on that? do you think that migrants are waiting, sam, for a labour victory to steam across the channel? >> i mean, i'm not sure if the migrants are aware of who keir starmer is, because i think actually half the public even really register him. but what they are aware of is the fact that the rwanda policy is in jeopardy. we know that. we know that, from , when, a lot of that, from, when, a lot of migrants went to dublin, i sent a member of my team over there and he found a number of migrants who said that they'd gone there because they were worried about the rwanda policy. and obviously now we know that that will be ditched if labour get in. so you can see it does have an impact either way, and i think this is a big thing. you know, keir starmer was asked tonight about what he would do about stopping the gangs, smash the gangs, smash the gangs. about stopping the gangs, smash the gangs, smash the gangs . you the gangs, smash the gangs. you know, as if the government haven't already been trying
4:38 am
that. i think it's got a lot of questions to answer on that. >> yeah he does. i mean, how many times benjamin kenny remind us he's. yeah. how did the cps on when i was there i dealt with things like gangs conveniently ignonng things like gangs conveniently ignoring the fact that he also, you know, did help some rather dodgy terrorists at times as well in foreign court and also signed things for illegal migrants to be able to stay in britain. unfortunately, one of them went on to commit an actual murder. so, you know, is he all over the place here on the illegal migrants stuff? do you think? >> well, first of all, i think those refer to when he was a barrister and not when he was running the cps. and of course, whether someone is prosecuted is not up to the person in charge. that's up to court. so it's a bit ridiculous to put that at keir starmers door, what a jury or a judge might decide , as for or a judge might decide, as for the migrants, i don't think they're waiting for anyone based on their behaviour. there's up to 800 of them getting boats each day at times. and in the week after the rwanda policy was formally passed by parliament, there were record numbers. the only thing that stops migrants at the moment is a rainy day. and i do think the right attitude is to say that the
4:39 am
people who are making enormous amount of money out of this, the people who should focus, get smashed. you know, we spent £300 million roughly on the rwanda scheme and still waiting for people to be sent. >> i'm just going to pause this topic here because i want your view a man on, on on something else now. so this is nigel farage has found himself at the centre of this media storm after he said this during an interview with nick robinson last week. we've provoked this war. >> it's, you know, of course it's his fault . he's used what? it's his fault. he's used what? but we provoked the invasion of ukraine and at the reform, uk leader reiterated this point a telegraph column to which boris johnson responded by branding it nauseating , ahistorical drivel nauseating, ahistorical drivel and kremlin propaganda. >> nigel decided to, i think now at this point is trembling down. is it what is this? >> this is what boris said. bons >> this is what boris said. boris blames the european union for war in ukraine. but can you see the sheer level of hypocrisy ? can you see the nonsense of all of this ? and let's be clear, all of this? and let's be clear,
4:40 am
this man will go down as the worst prime minister of modern times , a man who betrayed an 80 times, a man who betrayed an 80 seat majority, who opened the door to mass immigration. boris johnson . johnson. >> all right, well, you know, he said a lot there. i'm not i'm not convinced boris johnson will go down as the worst prime minister of modern times. but a man on the ukraine issue , i man on the ukraine issue, i don't really think that one nigel farage said was actually that controversial, was it? i mean, i get that there's a huge amount of pro zelenskyy and pro—ukrainian sentiment out there, and rightly so . i get there, and rightly so. i get that it's putin's fault or entirely that, you know, the actual invasion is taking place. i don't think anyone disputes that. but there has been some provocation, doesn't legitimise anything. but, you know, we have poked the bear, haven't we? >> well, indeed . i mean, look at >> well, indeed. i mean, look at it this way, i think look, violating any sovereign nation's territorial integrity is wrong on every level. that's not beat the bush around with that. but the bush around with that. but the point is, i think nigel has done this in a very calculated way in that he's trying to break
4:41 am
this cross—party consensus on what is right or wrong about how to help the situation in ukraine, how to help the ukrainians deal with the predicament they find themselves in, the truth is, it's also revealed the lack of depth of the understanding of geopolitics and international relations and what politics goes around in the rest of the world. in our parliament. the truth is that very few mps in parliament actually understand what the great game here is, and this has sadly been revealed by nigel. the fact that he's able to bring out this article from 2014 of bons out this article from 2014 of boris saying that it was the european union's expansionist ideas that encouraged what happenedin ideas that encouraged what happened in crimea at the time, lends credibility to that idea. >> nigel's comments and he was set up for this, made it very easy to see all the kind of headunes easy to see all the kind of headlines that we've seen in the last few days, and i get that. and he's now being called, you know, accused and apologist and, and everything, and i can see
4:42 am
how maybe, maybe he wandered into that, that trap. but i do think that a lot of people in the establishment media underestimate the concern that the public have for how much of our tax money is going to continue to be sent to ukraine. i know that people are broadly in favour of it, and i'm not i'm not trying to open a massive can of worms here, but i do think people are concerned about us just continually writing blank checks for foreign war. >> i do get that because , you >> i do get that because, you know, clearly the cost of living crisis continues despite the fact that inflation is now at 2. we know that people are still struggling and that that, you know, i do understand that that is a thing. but, you know, as a country, we have to stand up for what is right. country, we have to stand up for what is right . and, you know, what is right. and, you know, i truly believe that boris johnson was right on ukraine. it was right to set a marker in the sand. you've just got to think, putin, you know, where would where would be next? i mean, he wasn't going to just stop at ukraine. and so we have to fight back. we have to defend democracy and sovereign borders ,
4:43 am
democracy and sovereign borders, orders and people's right to be ruled by their own government . ruled by their own government. and i think that, okay, he made some, you know, crass comment in 2014. nigel farage has consistently made comments for many, many years about this and actually look at president zelenskyy boris johnson is adored in ukraine. president zelenskyy said that nigel farage has been infected by the putin of the propaganda of putin. and i think, you know, that speaks for itself. really. okay. >> all right. now i'm with it on because i want to show this video, this emma thompson has sparked fury again after appearing at a climate rally with just stop oil in london over the weekend. and it comes days after they vandalised a private jet, which they thought was taylor swift. but it turned out it wasn't taylor swift. and of course they had to go on stonehenge, didn't they ? emma stonehenge, didn't they? emma thompson has called herself a climate hypocrite for flying around the world, and has been spotted holidaying on a £200 million yacht. here's what she had to say about climate change. >> i am not hearing enough about
4:44 am
it at all. it's the it's the most vital issue of our time . most vital issue of our time. >> well, it can't be the most vital issue, benjamin, can it? because if it was the most vital issue, she would not be flying business class or first class. she would not be getting on superyachts . she she wouldn't be superyachts. she she wouldn't be living a life the way she is . living a life the way she is. >> i guess by that measure, i'm not a climate hypocrite because i've never been on a first class or a super yacht. i think the super yacht, she actually just stepped on it at an event. she wasn't actually travelling around anywhere on it, if that matters, but i think she's right to say that it matters really . to say that it matters really. >> it's not a copy that. it's just it's just what she says when they say things. it's when they say things like, you know, this is the most important thing in the world right now and just don't behave like it's the most important thing in the world. >> i don't think super yacht went anywhere. i think it was stationed at the time. >> but was it even a zigi or was it i, you know, we don't know, do we? just identified as a super yacht, identified as dinghy. >> she said that, she said that it's not getting enough

attention, actually. have we heard anything about it in the general election? very, very little about it. it's not been a topic of discussion . of course. topic of discussion. of course. the two parties largely agree on it, on on a lot of things like net zero, and i certainly agree with that. but it's not been something that has provoked much discussion. i suspect that's because the polls show most people in the country aren't disagreeing about something completely nauseating. >> i do i do think it's a bit like saying , oh, cancer >> i do i do think it's a bit like saying, oh, cancer is really bad while you're puffing on a cigarette, you know, i'm going to fly around the world, even though i know it's really bad. >> it would, it would be, it would be a bit like me saying lung cancer is the most pressing thing in my life at the moment. >> whilst i like my 20th cigarette of the day outside the office. but anyway, right. coming up, why did david tennant suggest that he'd like to see kemi badenoch dead? however until we wake up and kemi badenoch doesn't exist anymore . badenoch doesn't exist anymore. find out more in tonight's greatest britain on union jack, as i also have a few more front pages for you. stay

>> welcome back to patrick christys. >> tonight. i've got some more from pages for you. let's start with the daily express. princess anne in hospital after horse accident, let's go to the guardian. low wage growth has pushed 900,000 children into poverty . average weekly wages poverty. average weekly wages now just £16 higher in real terms. in 2010, they've also got the holly willoughby story there about how this well, alleged loon tried to wanted to kidnap and rape her. it's a ridiculous story, isn't it? i mean, just unbelievable. but there we go. let's go to the daily mirror now. guards plot to kidnap, rape and kill holly . the accused and kill holly. the accused planned to knock out the star with chloroform in a night raid. the jury hears all of this again. i will emphasise is alleged. the court case continues. but let's go back to my panel now and i'm going to i'm going to just delve straight

into this clip. so well known luvvie david tennant had a pop at the government minister kemi badenoch, while he accepted an award for his support of the trans community at the british lgbt awards. did he go too far? watch and listen . watch and listen. >> if i'm honest, i'm a little depressed by the fact that acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be and live their life how they want to live it, as long as they're not hurting anyone else, should merit any kind of special award or special special mention because it's common sense, isn't it ? however, until we wake up it? however, until we wake up and kemi badenoch does not exist anymore . i don't wish ill of anymore. i don't wish ill of her. i just wish her to shut up. >> yeah. all right. really? did he go too far? >> lovely. isn't it another man telling a woman to shut up? it's always a really lovely thing to see. especially from men on the left. i've just kind of fed up with it, to be honest, but i do
4:50 am
think, you know, this is classic kind of lefty luvvie attitude, isn't it, where it's absolutely acceptable to really say quite horrible things about people on the right, particularly women on the right, particularly women on the right, particularly women on the right, but flip it around if it's kemi badenoch saying the same thing about him, i'm sure they'd be outrage. but, you know, she's she's a fair target because she's right wing and therefore deserves to be not on this planet, according to david tennant. >> i don't think he said she shouldn't be on his planet, and he clearly noted that the way he'd phrased it in the first half of the comment, was not the implication he wished to make. but look, i think david tennant is a real role model for standing up for lgbt people. you know, he's done lots of things over the years, and i think he should be celebrated for that. and i think, you know, events like the british lgbt awards do a lot to make people like david tennant feel celebrated, because there is a pressure from people like kemi badenoch to silence people that stand up for trans rights. >> okay. go quickly, to be honest, never heard of this man. >> but, what that'll do, that will do . yeah.
4:51 am
will do. yeah. >> no, we are a bit pressed. >> no, we are a bit pressed. >> we are a bit pressed. but, scotland's euros adventure is oven over. >> oven >> after they suffered a one nil defeat against hungary last night and it was forgettable night, though, wasn't it? for scotland fans, especially this chap. stowlawn may day . chap. stowlawn may day. >> oh. oh, you love to say it right. >> it's time to reveal today's greatest britain in union, jackass. sam, your greatest britain >> please. >> please. >> princess anne, sad news that she's had this fall. today, she's had this fall. today, she's always been one of the kind of most hardworking. just gets on with it. royals so i think i'm sure everyone wishes her a speedy recovery. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and it's important that we get this horse, benjamin, who's your greatest britain? >> my greatest britain is the former doctor who , an ongoing former doctor who, an ongoing legend. david tennant, for standing up for lgbt people, as aforementioned. >> okay, so it's down to two. ama, who's your will i win? >> i am celebrating women in diplomacy day to day with my
4:52 am
greatest britain is lindy cameron , our british high cameron, our british high commissioner in delhi, the first woman to take that role in 75 years. >> okay. >> okay. >> strong stuff. all right . i am >> strong stuff. all right. i am going to go for, princess anne there we go. who was been hurt in some kind of horse accident ? in some kind of horse accident? apparently she is fine. she has. she's bounced back a bit of concussion. she will be okay, but, yeah, i mean, there's no it's no, seriously. no joke. you know, i don't mean some rude , know, i don't mean some rude, but, you know, at her age, and hopefully she is . all right. and hopefully she is. all right. and again, i just want to emphasise that that horse needs to be locked up. right. okay. who's your union jackass gary lineker ' 7 m. again? >> i mean, you know, this man, i think i'm not a massive football fan. i'm just going to lay that out there. but i think if you are a former member of the england team and you are pouring, scorn on your successes when you actually never, never won a world cup, it seems a bit mean to me. and i think harry kane dealt with it really kind of well and was very magnanimous but firm in his call.
4:53 am
