after the for the pensioners after the news headlines with the very young tatiana sanchez . young tatiana sanchez. >> mark, thank you. and today marks two years since the passing of britain's longest reigning monarch, queen elizabeth. the second. she was on the throne for 70 years and was beloved by the nation and around the world. well, earlier today, the king and queen attended crathie kirk church near balmoral, where the late queen was a regular worshipper, and they were there for a sunday service with prayer and remembrance of his late mother, who passed at the age of 96. the prime minister has hit out at the previous government this morning, saying the nhs has been broken in ways that he called unforgivable. these comments come as a labour commissioned review into how children are treated by the nhs, is due to be published in the coming week. health secretary wes streeting set out labour's plan to tackle the nhs crisis.
3:01 am
>> my reform agenda is about is about three big shifts out of hospital into the community, so we get the gp appointments that people need, the social care that people need, care closer to people's homes, better for patients, better value for taxpayers. it's a shift from analogue to digital, so we're not working with outdated systems and allowing the waste in the nhs to go unchallenged and then thirdly, from sickness to prevention, making sure we're supporting people not just to live longer but to live well for longer and through good public health and prevention measures. those are the pillars of labour's reform agenda. >> meanwhile, shadow health secretary victoria atkins told gb news that she is concerned that labour are using this report to cover their plans to increase taxes. >> what concerns me about the way that labour is seeking to report this report is that they seem to be chasing headlines. you know, lord darzi is a very respected eminent surgeon. of course, he is also , it's fair to
3:02 am
course, he is also, it's fair to say, a former labour minister and a former labour peer. but this report should be about what the state of the of the nhs is and providing solutions. the state of the of the nhs is and providing solutions . and and providing solutions. and what worries me is that labour is using this report as cover for the tax rises. they plan to raise on us all at the budget in october. >> and finally, sport great britain finished runners up in the paris paralympic medals table following a total haul of 124. the figure second only to china. comprised of 49 gold, 44 silver and 31 bronze, with gb securing titles in 18 of the 19 sports entered. britain ended today with two more golds and two silver medals. his majesty the king earlier sent his heartfelt congratulations to paralympic , gb and commonwealth paralympic, gb and commonwealth athletes for their numerous success at the paris games , and success at the paris games, and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in an hour for the very latest gb news

3:04 am
must atone on a daily basis. even a trip to the gift shop or cafe of a national trust property won't spare you the tired message that britain is a belligerent, intolerant hellhole with an evil past. now, britain has always been diverse, and immigration has helped make this country what it is. but current rates of legal migration are seeing cities the size of leeds or liverpool grow within a year when previously it took 100, which means that the britain that our pensioners know and love is changing beyond recognition at a rate which places undue strain on public services, housing the economy and our infrastructure. not to mention the delicate alchemy of integration . our pensioners are integration. our pensioners are watching britain turn from a successful, diverse society into a failing, multicultural experiment. the parents and grandparents of today's
3:05 am
pensioners fought with their lives to protect our national boundanes lives to protect our national boundaries during the second world war, for only their children and grandchildren to watch our national boundaries breached on a daily basis in the channel. in what has become an economic , humanitarian and economic, humanitarian and national security disaster. meanwhile, every weekend during the so—called peace marches following october 7, ideological thugs hold banners calling for a holy war and chant anti—semitic slogans unpunished. at one point, the cenotaph, which is there to remember our war dead who gave their lives for freedom and democracy , became a backdrop and democracy, became a backdrop for extremists seeking the wiping out of israel. the only democracy in the middle east who would be a pensioner in 2024, having been needlessly locked in their homes during the wild experiment of lockdowns during the pandemic, and left to rot in care homes. britain's elderly
3:06 am
were among the worst hit by the cost of living crisis and are now the target of labour's swingeing cuts as they plug the £9 billion cost of pay rises for train drivers and junior doctors. and how are they going to do that .7 by allowing 10 to do that? by allowing 10 million pensioners, two thirds of whom are living in poverty, to shiver in their homes this winter . now, to shiver in their homes this winter. now, stopping the boats would save £3 billion a year. that's double what the government is saving on the fuel allowance cuts. but labour, of course, have ditched rwanda and with it the only deterrent we had . and whilst illegal had. and whilst illegal immigrants should absolutely be accommodated as well and as safely as any other brits, how ironic that the radiators in migrant hotels will stay on this winter, as british pensioners sit at home with three coats on, wearing mittens , deliberating wearing mittens, deliberating whether they can afford to put the kettle on, let alone the
3:07 am
heater . even the kettle on, let alone the heater. even labour's own mps are up in arms about the cut to the winter fuel allowance. rachael maskell, the mp for york central, warned of the public health impact of the cuts. she said we know that being cold leads to stroke, heart attacks , leads to stroke, heart attacks, pneumonia, hypothermia and so much more. as the body wrestles to keep warm and viruses prey on the frail last winter, she says , the frail last winter, she says, 4950 people died because their homes were cold. the fear is that if we withdraw winter fuel payments for those in fuel poverty, it will lead to excess deaths. meanwhile, ed miliband's net zero plans were going to shave £300 off people's energy bills, except that they've now stopped quoting that figure. can't imagine why. and energy is going to go up 10% this winter. and £300 is the exact amount that they're taking off. 10 million pensioners make it make
3:08 am
sense. and things could get even worse for pensioners, with angela rayner considering hammering up to 4 million pensioners by removing their council tax break for single occupancy. now, before the election, i predicted on this show that we would have five years of civil war within the governing labour party. well, several mps have already been suspended for voting against the two child benefit cap, with more labour's labour mps set to abstain this week on the winter fuel allowance vote. even labour loyalist and keir starmer's biggest cheerleader. lbc host carol vorderman is feeling the heat. take a listen to this angry caller. >> i am incandescent decent about it. i couldn't believe that a labour government would have ever done anything so iniquitous. >> carol looks uncomfortable, but it gets worse. >> it will be more pensioners that die of hypothermia. this winter or and or malnutrition because there will be people who are having to make choices between heating and eating .
3:09 am
between heating and eating. >> poor carol's rendered speechless as the caller finishes her demolition of this new government for which the former countdown queen campaigned. >> why clobber pensioners? i think they will pay for this at the next election, because we will never , ever vote labour will never, ever vote labour again. and we voted labour all our lives . we will never vote laboun >> it's that's that's significant for you and your partner. i just think it's so iniquitous, so unfair. >> and, you know, i really can't believe that a labour government have done this. they turned themselves into the new nasty party or the even nastier party, because even the tories didn't do this . do this. >> this is a national scandal. pensioners have given everything to this country and now they're being left out in the . cold. being left out in the. cold. well, for reaction, i'm delighted to be joined in the studio by annunciator rees—mogg ,
3:10 am
studio by annunciator rees—mogg, journalist and broadcaster michael crick and former tory mp and farmer neil parish. i should say that annunciator is part of the popular conservatives , if the popular conservatives, if that's not a contradiction in terms. great to see all three of you.thank terms. great to see all three of you. thank you so much for joining us. annunciator hotfooting it from the west of england. lovely to see you. first of all, why have labour picked this fight with pensioners, do you think? >> the only reason i can think of is that proportionately, the older population are less likely to vote labour. and it's very clear where labour are putting their priorities that they can afford pay rises for unionised groups such as train drivers, and they are cutting from those who desperately need help. the elderly and particularly the single elderly. >> what i didn't mention in my big opinion monologue neil, is that the reason why they're having to make these cuts is because of the right horlicks, that the last conservative government made of the economy. >> i think they have chosen to
3:11 am
cut the winter fuel allowance because i think they wanted to decide that. let's look after the younger people and let's sort of target pensioners. the trouble we've got with pensioners is that many of them are very proud that many of them that could actually draw pension credit don't. and so therefore, you know, this is going to really affect them badly. and of course , whatever the state of course, whatever the state of the economy is , mark, that we the economy is, mark, that we didn't say pay the public sector unions all the money, the train drivers and all of these things. so why is it, why is it why had to settle. >> yeah, but it would have been a deal and it would have cost money. >> but why is it that pensioners that can ill afford and will will freeze? putting it bluntly this winter, why should they pay for things that labour are doing? they didn't put that in their manifesto also, you see. like i said, the single occupancy, there's many pensioners who have got perhaps quite a lot of capital may live in quite a big house, but they've got no money and i
3:12 am
think, you know, i just don't think, you know, i just don't think labour understands what pensioners have to go through. >> michael, some would say this smacks of strong government, strong leadership and a prime minister in keir starmer that won't flip flop and won't u—turn. >> well, he'd certainly like to give that impression and it's going to be very difficult for starmer or reeves to come up with a significant u—turn because it looked like , you because it looked like, you know, they failed at the first fence and they can't have that. but i do think they they need to find some other ways of, of lessening the burden of this cut for poorer people. let's face it. i mean , despite your it. i mean, despite your diatribe at the front there, pensioners are better off, probably in this country than they have ever been, inasmuch as you say, a portion of them. well quite a lot of them. i mean, in that we're living longer. neil and i are both pensioners. we're living longer. we have a variety of activities. we travel, foreign travel, we can and many of us are still able to get jobs
3:13 am
in, you know, into our 70s, even 80s at times. so it's a very mixed picture here. and it's ridiculous that somebody , people ridiculous that somebody, people like us should be getting winter fuel payments or even free travel on the underground , when travel on the underground, when at a time when poorer people need them really do need the money. >> but you see that the point i need to make on this is that by the time you try and single out those that should get it, they'll then have to set up a special scheme to help those pensioners that are just outside the benefit system on pensions. and so then in the end they will say very little money, a great deal of cost of administration. and what we always decided to do , and what we always decided to do, which i think was quite right if you paid it to everybody , those you paid it to everybody, those that didn't need it, they got it taxed away from them briefly, if you can, the pensioners who want to get the credit have to fill out 243 questions. >> this is not a straightforward thing, particularly for those who are not tech savvy in the first place. the generation who
3:14 am
are technically least tech savvy, but also 13,000 is not in anyone's books well—off. they deserve that money they have put into the system all their lives, and they should be able to be rewarded for their commitment to our country. but by means testing, often it actually costs more . it does than you save by more. it does than you save by taking it away from the multi seconds. >> i've been given a hard out by producer james, but i just want to ask you very briefly, should the conservatives apologise for the conservatives apologise for the financial black hole? are they disingenuous to complain about these cuts? yes or no ? about these cuts? yes or no? >> i think the conservatives made it clear that our finances after covid were in a terrible state. politicians, however , state. politicians, however, we're growing. we are growing faster than the rest of the g7 and actually have a better. >> are you willing to say sorry for the terrible black hole that labour have been granted and bequeathed? >> because i'm not going to. i think we there were there are problems with the economy, but i'm not going to accept labour's position on it because they're overegging the pudding. that's what they're doing. >> mark, my teenage son calls that which is sorry but not
3:15 am
sorry , but that's probably true. sorry, but that's probably true. yes. that's right. robert jenrick surges ahead of kemi badenoch in the race for the tory leadership , according to tory leadership, according to a bombshell new poll, amid accusations of dirty campaign tricks. could this contest tear the fractured tories further apart? we'll debate that next. let me tell you, fireworks will be
3:16 am
3:17 am
3:18 am
well, it's time now for the big story . and let me tell you, story. and let me tell you, breaking tonight a shock new poll shows that robert jenrick is powering ahead of kemi badenoch in the race for the tory leadership. with more on this, i'm delighted to welcome the director of the popular conservatives who are behind this latest polling mark littlewood. mark, what does the polling tell us? it's fascinating. >> mark. so just to be clear, we surveyed about 500 conservative party members. this is the third time we've done it. we go and check in with them about once a fortnight. and one of the questions we asked them amongst
3:19 am
many is who at the moment is your preferred choice for party leader? and given the five left now, priti patel's been eliminated .jenrick scored 38%, eliminated. jenrick scored 38%, kemi badenoch scored 30%. there was a good chunk of don't knows still at 20% and tom tugendhat , still at 20% and tom tugendhat, james cleverly and mel stride were far behind. so let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the mps whittle it down to those two, because the party members that we're speaking to don't get a say until the mps have whittled it down to two. and let's assume that those two are robert jenrick and kemi badenoch. lots of assumptions here. we then said were that to be the choice. what? how would you vote between those two and jenrick wins that 58% to 42%. huge caveats apply here. we haven't. we haven't filtered this for age, gender, region or anything like that. huge numbers of don't knows and crucially the party conference will take place while there are
3:20 am
still four candidates in the race. and for folk as old as me might remember when david cameron was a bit of a dark horse. david davis was nailed on to win, but cameron's performance at party conference was so strong and david davis is so weak. that changed the whole race. john major was a dark horse. >> margaret thatcher, no less, was something of a dark horse. >> well, it's often said in conservative leadership races you don't want to be the favourite. i mean, at some point you want to be the favourite, but probably with five minutes to go. but robert jenrick seems to go. but robert jenrick seems to be ahead. i mean, this is what our poll says. the betting markets, if you rely on them , markets, if you rely on them, are put generic. now about a 5050 chance of winning. the other really interesting thing was we asked members, well, what are you interested about? what should the next leader do? and we gave them 20 options and said, pick any five that you're looking for. the sort of 20 things that you might expect the next leader of the party to be good at. are you good on the media? might you be able to get reform voters to come over? might you have a good chance of winning the next election? that was one of the 20. only 41%
3:21 am
plumped for a good chance of winning the next election. by far the top was i want a true blue conservative, right? so although the candidates are talking about unity , unity, talking about unity, unity, unity when it actually comes to the grassroots vote, it's going to be purity, purity, purity that will win the final, the final lap of the race. >> and why does jenrick look to be edging it at this stage, do you think? >> well, i think it's a mixture of things on certain. if you like touch issues like the european convention of human rights, he's the candidate who's most ambiguous and unambiguous about leaving. >> i mean, his political bank balance comes from the fact that he resigned as immigration minister over the government's failure to tackle the illegal migrants. >> that's exactly right . >> that's exactly right. >> that's exactly right. >> so he's going to be banking on that in the weeks ahead. >> yeah. he might well be. and that possibly is another advantage. i'm just inferring this that because he didn't serve in the last government in the last days at a high level, perhaps he's seen as a slight fresher breath of fresh air, but
3:22 am
who knows. long way to go. i would say this. i think it very likely that either robert jenrick or kemi badenoch will be the next leader of the party. very likely it will be one of those two, but it's by no means certain that those two will be the head to head. >> well, that's the thing. and what do you make of this speculation around a dirty tncks speculation around a dirty tricks campaign on the part of camp robert jenrick? the idea that kemi badenoch team are not happy that votes have been funnelled to the centrist option of james cleverly in order to knock badenoch out of the race altogether. >> you know what? if only conservative mps were this mathematically brilliant, they probably would have won the last general election. so if you look at the first round of voting, it's so tight between first and last, the idea that you can work out that we're going to put two votes there and an extra one here in order to influence exactly who comes bottom by one vote or two votes. it is a way more complex process than that . more complex process than that. we don't know who will be eliminated tomorrow then. sorry. on tuesday then we know we're down to the last four, but mainly speaking, i think most people are voting for the
3:23 am
candidate they prefer. >> okay, now stay with us. mark. we have benched annunziata as she works with you at the popular conservative. so let me ask you another popular conservative. back in the day, before you went full time farmer in your parish , what do you make in your parish, what do you make of this field? because many would argue it's a sort of pretty weak offering, really, to the electorate. this this five. >> i think there are good enough candidates there to lead the party. and i think i come to the conclusion a little while ago that it was between robert jenrick and, and kemi badenoch. and so i'm not surprised . and i and so i'm not surprised. and i also agree that trying to fix a race, especially when you've only got 121 mps, you know, last time we were voting on leadership, you know, you were talking about 360 members of parliament. so, you know, this is not only is it a tight race, but it's a very small race. and so 1 or 2 individuals will make all the difference. and so i
3:24 am
think the idea of trying to fix it, that kemi badenoch does not get on the ballot paper, i think also the members, i think will be very cross about that. i think they expect a fair fight and then let them decide at the end of the day. but they will go.the end of the day. but they will go. the members will go for the for the right most right wing of the candidates . michael, there's the candidates. michael, there's no obvious winner. >> is that because the field is so weak? >> well, it's looking like robert jenrick is powering ahead and that it is likely to be one of these two. my own feeling is that none of these five will be the next conservative prime minister. i think the problem is they're all tainted , as we've they're all tainted, as we've hinted at by the fact that they all served in the last government and jenrick was in the cabinet for quite a while. one of these ministers, you know, who had a job for a year and moved on all the time and i think the next conservative leader will be somebody, maybe somebody who's only just been elected, sorry, the next conservative prime minister will be somebody who's only just been elected at the last election this summer, or even hasn't been elected yet , because i think elected yet, because i think
3:25 am
it's going to take a long time for the conservatives to overcome the reasons they lost this time, which were , frankly, this time, which were, frankly, the scandals and the incompetence of the johnson and truss years, and it needs a fresh face, a completely new, fresh. you take the last three people to topple a government and bring a new party into power. tony blair, david cameron, keir starmer none of those three had been government ministers. >> mark michael's right on the history there. i just wonder whether politics moves faster these days. and we might be in an era where it becomes commonplace for a party to either double its seats at a general election or lose three quarters of them. keir starmer when he became leader, was told, well, he'll never win because he's tainted by jeremy corbyn, wins with a massive landslide . wins with a massive landslide. he was even under threat by angela rayner and others within his own party. so i'm not by any means saying it's nailed on that the conservatives will win the next election. i just think voting patterns are much more febrile and unpredictable than
3:26 am
ever before, and it's not impossible to actually win an election from a baseline of 121 seats. >> i also think , michael, >> i also think, michael, i don't think any of these people have got the necessary stardust. >> now people change in office, right? and i mean, starmer changed a bit in office. so, you know, you shouldn't write them off. but as robert jenrick i mean he mps used to call him robert jenrick. you know, he was regarded as so you talk about you you talk about stardust. >> i mean what stardust is keir starmer got absolutely zero. >> he's the prime minister —25. >> he's the prime minister —25. >> but seriously, i think that it's quite right. i think politics will change. i mean, the speed of which labour have managed to annoy all the pensioners and goodness knows how many other people and they've only been in power, you know, five minutes and, and keir starmer seems to want to be, you know, unpopular. well he's going the right way about it and i suggest he only got 35% of the vote. so, you know, be careful . vote. so, you know, be careful. >> michael will know this. as a football fan like me, michael's a manchester united supporter. i'm a southampton supporter. we know from years of following
3:27 am
football, not politics, that even if your team is not very good, even if it's bad, you'll still win if the opposition is worse. okay. >> very briefly before you go. >> very briefly before you go. >> i mean, i'll throw my two pennies worth in. it's my impression that jenrick's got the policy and badenoch got the personality. does the ultimate winner fall between two stools? >> well it's interesting. i also thought priti patel had the best plan for party reform. right. so i think all six who ran are certain to be in the shadow cabinet in one way or another. so and that's quite important at the end of the race, that all of them must still be on talking terms and better with each other. otherwise the conservatives have a real problem. >> mark littlewood, great to have you in the studio in just a few minutes time. we've got a top tory mp, a former insider at the erg, mark francois. he'll be revealing on this programme his pick for the next tory leader. that is, before 10:00. but next up is princess catherine's anticipated return to public life this autumn. the good news that all been waiting i'll be asking britain's best
3:28 am
connected
3:29 am
3:30 am
3:31 am
next. well, a very big reaction to my big opinion monologue. this new government have thrown pensioners under the bus, and they're going to pay a very high political price. that's my view. your views are coming in thick and fast. adrian has messaged us gbnews.com forward slash your say good evening adrian how are you? adrian says mark. there are also working people that will struggle this winter who are working to survive and as bills are going up, money is getting tighter. do working people who get no help at all get any? are they going to be cold this winter as well? well, adrian, you're absolutely right. the pensioners, 10 million pensioners, 10 million pensioners, a good portion of whom are actually living in poverty, are going to suffer from this . but many hard working from this. but many hard working brits, as you say, are going to be affected, which is why we need energy independence. why is ed miliband ditching or considering ditching our latest nuclear power station ? say it
3:32 am
nuclear power station? say it isn't. so we'll come back to that very shortly. don't forget the papers at 1030. but last night we were on air for a developing story in which, according to a sunday times exclusive, following months of cancer treatment, princess catherine, the princess of wales, is beginning to make plans for the future and hopes to gradually focus on work again. it's thought that she'll attend the cenotaph in november and participate at a christmas carol service, among other pubuc carol service, among other public duties. so is this the good news that the world has been waiting for? let's get the views now of renowned royal author angela levin. angela, very good to see you. the mood music around this story is very positive, but what are the facts ? positive, but what are the facts? >> the facts are she has been seriously ill and i don't think that she will be able to do anything more than 1 or 2 things for the end of the year. i think the way it's been brought to us is that these are the key moments, but it means that she's
3:33 am
not going back at all till the end of the year. it's very hard for her. i mean, she has said that when she has a good day, she loves actually to do something with the school, so she'll take the children or bnng she'll take the children or bring them back . that shows how bring them back. that shows how important that is for her. but otherwise i think it's, it's not it's not there yet, but it's very important that she is left calmly, that there is no stress on her and that she can slowly get better and be treated and will be well, i mean , we hope will be well, i mean, we hope she will be well sooner than later, but i think that she would be back full blast if she could. and just to say that i think the public yearn for her thinks so highly of her that they're very upset if she's not actually around. so this makes us satisfied a little bit. we can actually think , you know,
3:34 am
can actually think, you know, this is going to happen in two months. this will be in three months. this will be in three months. oh how lovely. but it's not going to be the same as her running around and laughing and smiling and running and enjoying things, one of the things she said was for the new some man who's going to look after the scouts , and she loved that. and scouts, and she loved that. and she's a part of that. and she's said to him, i hugely look forward to meeting you and doing it all. so that means there's some sort of thing about discussing lots of physical activities now . activities now. >> you and i were on air earlier in the year for the debacle of the mother's day card, which was photoshopped. there was a lot of confusion. several news agencies pulled the image, do you think that given the fact that this story, this exclusive in the sunday times, is bound to have come with the blessing of the palace, that this is an effort to manage the story and to keep
3:35 am
the public informed. >> yes, i think that's exactly what i said, that you know, that that will help people wait with patience . because last time patience. because last time people got very angry and, you know , where is it, what's going know, where is it, what's going on? we have learnt enough. i don't think we should actually creep in anymore. it's not our business to say exactly what have you got, but, i think it is actually making sure that we know that she's there and will be getting better. >> what will the news of catherine's partial and gradual return to public duties mean for her husband, the prince of wales ? her husband, the prince of wales? >> well, it's well known now that he's working much harder than he ever has. he does a lot of work from home. he's actually doing a lot of work as well, and he's got a lot of stress. he's heir to the throne. his, you know, trying to keep harry away. and it's very, very difficult for him. he also feels very
3:36 am
responsible and this is very good to actually look after the children and do the school run, because he's very much a modern father , isn't he? he's not only father, isn't he? he's not only a modern father, but i think he's got a whole different life because he didn't have a normal childhood, and he is very much thanks to the middletons and thanks to the middletons and thanks to the middletons and thanks to his wonderful wife that he's learnt how to be a father , and as well as how has father, and as well as how has being a husband . and i think being a husband. and i think that that makes a huge difference . and he you can see difference. and he you can see they adore him. they play with him. he's tumbling around in the in the grass and they're loving him and he does adore them. and you can see they're very close to him. well, he wasn't because his parents were busy or upset or there was rouse. so he's missed all that. so i think the reason he wants to do that is that bringing up his children is one of the key, important things that he's doing. but if he does bnng that he's doing. but if he does bring them up like that, when george becomes king, eventually,
3:37 am
hopefully, you know that. will you have a marvellous man to run the country and a superb , number the country and a superb, number two behind him? >> well, i agree, i mean, i think the future of the monarchy looks absolutely set , given the looks absolutely set, given the future generations are there. i mean, obviously william and kate are box office, they're beloved and the children are gorgeous. yes but you have to keep harry away because one of harry's passions and determinations is to take over part of the bringing up of the children . bringing up of the children. >> he said that because he thinks the second and the third, he will, because the first one will be a king and he wants to do the other two because he doesn't want them to be a spare, you see. and he said, you're suggesting that harry will influence the upbringing of william's children? >> yes. how can he possibly do that? >> he said that he wants to do that. that's one of the reasons i think he wants to come over
3:38 am
here, not for permanently, but here, not for permanently, but he wants to do that. william said . absolutely not. under no said. absolutely not. under no circumstances. and he said he's going to keep trying because he thinks he will do very well. so that's one of the reasons that william doesn't want him anywhere near him, certainly to not upset catherine. i mean, it's a ludicrous thing to say, but he thinks he could have control over making them have a better living and a more sort of, enhanced role rather than just being a spare, like, sort of his way of living. >> it's a shocking. so are you are you according according to your interpretation of the situation, you think that harry is sort of unofficially banned from the palace by william? >> is that is that your understanding? >> william doesn't want to see him. i don't know about banned, but i think he doesn't want unwelcome. unwelcome because he doesn't want the stress. he's got enough to go on. okay. and he doesn't want any more stress. >> thank you very much. well, on that bombshell, angela, let me finally ask you a very sad
3:39 am
anniversary today. >> two years since the death of queen elizabeth the second. your reflections of this remarkable lady, two years on and her legacy. >> yes . well, i've always >> yes. well, i've always thought she was wonderful. when i was a little girl, i always wanted to go and stand outside buckingham palace and hope that she would come out and have me in for tea and absolute nonsense. but i used to want to go there. i was 5 or 6. i just loved it. but i think that she showed us what doing something for others is not actually trying to do things for ourselves. she showed us how we could be dutiful and honourable and help people, and i think she also had a very, very good sense of humour. so it was wonderful and she said when she was 21, i pledged my life to the service of my people and she kept that forever until the end. i mean, what was also very, very
3:40 am
touching was the platinum jubilee, one of the last things she did, apart from prime ministers coming and going and, she was there and she had this wonderful cartoon of her with a marmalade sandwich and, paddington bear, which i thought was one of the best things of it all. it was marvellous. and also, she , tried even though she also, she, tried even though she had cancer of the bones, which was extremely painful. and prince charles then prince, wanted her to come and be on the balcony , and she didn't want to balcony, and she didn't want to when she was in pain and two, she felt maybe the jubilee wasn't going very well because there was a lot of anti the monarchy then, but she came green. she got dressed and there were thousands of people there cheering her, and she nearly had a tear. you know, she was very strong and brave and she didn't do that sort of thing. you know
3:41 am
she kept that to herself. but she, she came on the balcony and she, she came on the balcony and she saw how much people loved her. and i think that that was a wonderful moment, two, two years on from her passing and she's missed as much as ever from queen elizabeth ii to the queen of royal reporting, angela levin. >> it's been brilliant to see you in the studio again. i'm back from my holidays and we want to see lots of you this autumn on mark dolan tonight. so thank you for joining autumn on mark dolan tonight. so thank you forjoining us. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. there you go. >> thank you. there you go. >> my thanks to angela levin. well, next up, my mark meets guest is renowned parliamentarian and one of the founding fathers of brexit. mark francois. is brexit safe in labour's hands? plus he'll be revealing his pick the tory leadership live on the show
3:42 am
3:43 am
3:44 am
next. coming up in my take at ten, you next. coming up in my take at ten, you won't want to miss this. the won't want to miss this. the chilling war on free speech chilling war on free speech continues. find out why after continues. find out why after ten. but first, this ten. but first, this . and it's
3:45 am
ten. but first, this. and it's time now for mark meets tonight, the renowned parliamentarian and one of the founding fathers of brexit. the right honourable mark francois. mark, lovely to see you in the studio. bless you. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> are you enjoying this race for the tory leadership? >> well, i've seen a few of them before. >> yes you have. well, actually, i think rishi sunak is your eighth leader. according to my calculations, you entered the house in 2001. correct. so you've had about eight leaders who should be the ninth? >> i think it should be robert jenrick . and he did very well in jenrick. and he did very well in the first ballot. and we're very encouraged because as i think you've just had mark littlewood on correct, the, the popular conservatives, the pop cons have just done a poll of their panel , just done a poll of their panel, which includes a lot of conservative voluntary parties . conservative voluntary parties. >> it's a good sample. it's 500 members. it's pretty good. >> and roberts out ahead 38%. kemi badenoch is second. she's on about 30. but significantly,
3:46 am
robert was just ahead of her in the last one last month. i think it was nought point two, 0.3%. so he's widened that lead, from 0.2, 0.3 to an 8% lead. so there's a lot of momentum there. both, it would seem, among the voluntary party and obviously among members of parliament. and as you have seen, the shadow health secretary, victoria atkins, came out for robert today. now that's quite significant because it shows very clearly that he's got support across the parliamentary party. so, you know , victorian party. so, you know, victorian people like john lamont very much on the sort of centrist to one nation wing of the parliamentary party. and then you've got people like myself and, and andrew rosindell , more and, and andrew rosindell, more at the other end of the spectrum. so i think what that shows is that robert genuinely now has support right across the parliamentary party. so he'd be very well placed to unify it. >> but given that jenrick entered the house of commons as
3:47 am
a david cameron acolyte, are you really do you have an appetite for another tory leader will
3:48 am
and i imagine every tory mp will vote against it, including robert jenrick. i really think robert jenrick. i really think robert is the right person to unify us and take us forward. >> isn't it disingenuous of conservative mps to vote against this? cut to the allowance on winter fuel payments, given that it's labour that have inherited a tory economic mess? oh look, this £22,000,000 billion black hole, the country is broke , hole, the country is broke, mark. i mean, you don't have to be carol vorderman to work that out, do you? >> 2010 liam burns letter. sorry, there's no money. right. sorry, there's no money. right. so we were broke. there's no arguing about it. there is no such letter. >> well, we're running a deficit, aren't we? >> £22 billion black hole laura kuenssberg. forgive me mentioning another outlet. >> please don't swear in the studio. >> but this morning very clear with starmer. 9 billion of that is from inflation busting pay increases that are paid to their paymasters in the trade unions. so this 22 billion black hole line, the tories, the tories would have had to settle with the train drivers and the junior
3:49 am
doctors eventually not necessarily at that level. and my point is they're using that 22 billion figure as an excuse to do this to millions of pensioners didn't sign their manifesto they were going to do it. kept accusing us of being going to do it. we never did empirically, never did it. now they're doing it and they're trying to use a completely false figure to blame us. and i think someone with roberts forensic skills is the sort of person to help expose that. >> now, you mentioned robert and his forensic skills. what about dirty tricks? team badenoch are a little surprised at how much support james cleverly has received of late . there is received of late. there is speculation within the badenoch camp that votes are being diverted to cleverly to knock her off the ticket, so that genenc her off the ticket, so that generic doesn't face her in the final two. >> look, there's a lot of old tosh . as i said, i've seen lots tosh. as i said, i've seen lots of leadership contests before . of leadership contests before. let me put it like this. when you've only got 121 voters, you can't afford to lend one vote to anybody. it's all tosh. what we
3:50 am
need to do, what mps should do , need to do, what mps should do, is vote for the person they think is the best. it's effectively a first past the post election, even when it gets to our voluntary party members, as it rightfully will. it's a first past the post election. in these things you don't muck about, you vote for the candidate who you think is the kemi badenoch experienced socialism first hand in nigeria. >> she's the true conservative, isn't she? >> well, i'm not coming on here to do knocking copy for any other candidate. >> you don't want any. >> you don't want any. >> you don't want any. >> you don't want blue on blue tonight. >> we've had friendly fire. we've had quite a bit of that already haven't we really. just already haven't we really. just a bit. but look one of the reasons i voted for robert. there were several, but one of them was, was that he was faced with a situation where he was asked to take legislation through the house of commons that he had tried to toughen up, but which he knew in his heart of heart. he thought, wouldn't quite do the job. a lesser person might have tried to take that bill through anyway . he that bill through anyway. he didn't. he resigned on a point of honour called me old fashioned, but constitutionally
3:51 am
thatis fashioned, but constitutionally that is what he was supposed to do. and he did. you will know how rare that is in modern politics. >> i've got no doubt that you admire all the candidates on the list. yeah. and that if kemi badenoch wins, she'll enjoy your full support. don't you think that a figure like badenoch has a little more star power, a little more box office than robert jenrick, who's an intelligent man, a decent man, but he doesn't have that boris johnson heineken effect, does he? >> well, to answer your question directly, that's not what the pop directly, that's not what the pop corn survey out tonight is saying. >> and that's not what my parliamentary colleagues said in the first ballot. i mean, those are real votes in real boxes or one box. in that case. and they seem to think that perhaps robert had a little bit more star power than anyone else. we'll see what happens in the next round on tuesday. >> okay. >> okay. >> brilliant. well, look, we watched with interest at how this pans out very briefly, a couple of seconds, if you can. brexit. is it safe under labour? no >> keir starmer remains a remainer. i sat in the commons
3:52 am
night after night, week after week, for the best part of two and a half years and watched that man pull any stunt he could with others to try and keep us in the eu at almost any price. so i am deeply suspicious of this talk about closer ties with the eu. >> won't he just fix the dodgy tory deal that was negotiated by bofis tory deal that was negotiated by boris johnson? won't he make brexit work ? brexit work? >> what brexit is working with the fourth largest exporter in the fourth largest exporter in the world? mr second referendum sir keir starmer can't be trusted with brexit. >> listen thrilled to have you in the studio mark. let's catch up soon. my thanks to the renowned and revered conservative mp the wonderful mark francois in my take at ten. the chilling war on free speech continues because the privileged elite don't want you to have a voice, whether it's a tax on gb news or others. free speech is in crisis. see you in two. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

reaction in the studio from tonight's top pundits. former mep and head of communications at the popular conservatives annunziata rees—mogg , journalist annunziata rees—mogg, journalist and broadcaster michael crick and broadcaster michael crick and ex tory mp and now farmer neil parish. let me tell you, they won't be holding back tonight. lots to get . tonight. lots to get. so lots to get through. but first, the news headlines and tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> mark, thank you very much and good evening. the top stories. today marks two years since the passing of britain's longest reigning monarch , queen reigning monarch, queen elizabeth the second. she was on the throne for 70 years and was beloved by the nation and around the world. earlier today, the king and queen attended a church ceremony near balmoral, where the late queen was a regular worshipper. they were there for
4:00 am
a sunday service with prayer and remembrance of his late mother, who passed at the age of 96. in other news, the prime minister has hit out at the previous government this morning, saying the nhs has been broken in ways that he called unforgivable. these comments come as a labour commissioned review into how children are treated by the nhs, is due to be published in the coming week. health secretary wes streeting set out labour's plan to tackle the nhs crisis . plan to tackle the nhs crisis. >> my reform agenda is about is about three big shifts out of hospital, into the community, so we get the gp appointments that people need, the social care that people need, care closer to people's homes, better for patients, better for value taxpayers. it's a shift from analogue to digital . so we're analogue to digital. so we're not working with outdated systems and allowing the waste in the nhs to go unchallenged. and then thirdly, from sickness to prevention, making sure we're supporting people, not just to live longer, but to live well
4:01 am
for longer through good public health and prevention measures. those are the pillars of labour's reform agenda . labour's reform agenda. >> meanwhile, shadow health secretary victoria atkins told gb news that she's concerned that labour are using this report to cover their plans to increase taxes. >> what concerns me about the way that labour is seeking to report this report is that they seem to be chasing headlines. you know, lord darzi is a very respected eminent surgeon. of course he is. also it's fair to say, a former labour minister and a former labour peer. but this report should be about what the state of the of the nhs is and providing solutions and what worries me is that labour is using this report as cover for the tax rises they plan to raise on us all at the budget in october, and in sports. >> great britain finished runners up at the paris olympic games in the medals table, following a total haul of 124 medals, the figure second only

4:03 am
with full pundit reaction on arne slot rees—mogg , neil parish arne slot rees—mogg, neil parish and tv news legend michael crick. lots to get through, but we start with my take at ten. why would there be a campaign to shut down this place, which, by the way , will be unsuccessful? the way, will be unsuccessful? well, because the people who don't like gb news don't want you to have a voice. they want to stitch up the national conversation and bend the british people to their political will. but the assault on gb news, with a concerted effort to starve this channel of advertising funding, as well as endless bitching in the press, is part of a wider threat to free speech in this country and across the world. the privileged elites who dominate the media, politics and our public institutions whose woke progressive ideas are supported by 10 to 15% of the population
4:04 am
max . they hate social by 10 to 15% of the population max. they hate social media for the same reason that they hate gb news, because it empowers the people . there are no gatekeepers people. there are no gatekeepers on social media, no one withholding information, no editorialising, no censorship, no cancellation. the main argument for controlling social media is to stop the spread of misinformation. but who decides what that is? for example, it was misinformation to speculate dunng was misinformation to speculate during covid that the virus had come from a lab leak. now it's the most likely explanation. according to us government body the cia , facebook chief mark the cia, facebook chief mark zuckerberg has effectively apologised for allowing the us. government under joe biden to censor his platform during the pandemic, when leading medics and scientists were silenced for criticising lockdowns , masks and criticising lockdowns, masks and vaccine tyranny. it's my view
4:05 am
that they were right all along . that they were right all along. we've got police officers here in the uk visiting people at home to quiz them about an unkind social media post, whilst burglaries and violent crime go unpunished, there are fears that at some point it could be to illegal misgender someone. that means you could go to jail for describing a man who thinks he's a woman as a man. so you would go to prison for saying something, which is actually the case. welcome to hell . history case. welcome to hell. history tells us that those who censor are never the good guys. which takes me to brazil, where the supreme court, with the full support of the country's socialist government, have banned free speech social media platform x altogether , platform x altogether, potentially due to misinformation concerns. or is it down to x owner elon musk's refusal to cancel the accounts of those who are critical of the brazilian government? even former prime minister tony blair wants to see measures to control
4:06 am
social media. he's worried about the lies being spread online, even though he and alastair campbell were the kings of misinformation during the iraq war. make it make sense . there war. make it make sense. there is now a concerted effort to silence and shut down debate, particularly around pressing issues which affect ordinary people. mass migration , net people. mass migration, net zero, which has become a religious cult that can't be challenged, that can't be criticised . the anti—science criticised. the anti —science madness criticised. the anti—science madness of trans ideology and the absurd demonisation of the west . none of these the absurd demonisation of the west. none of these things stand up to any real scrutiny, but it is the scrutiny that the negroni quaffing north london liberal elites want to end for example, bbc lifer jonathan dimbleby became a figure of ridicule this week with the following tweet. here's what he tweeted i post infrequently, he says, and this is my last. elon musk's toy has
4:07 am
been colonised by narcissists. the brain dead and advertisements. i shall nonetheless miss the wit and wisdom of the best, among whom i have friends. the latter i shall still see to the rest. goodbye. life is too short . what life is too short. what a plonker! first of all, he calls other people narcissists, but he's the one declaring to the world that he won't be sending any tweets anymore. that's a bit narcissistic in itself, isn't it? it's not an airport lounge. you don't have to announce your departure. this apparently legendary broadcaster rails against narcissists after using this platform over the last couple of months to retweet praise about his own book. how about this? thanks to the wonderful dominic sandbrook for such a brilliant review for my latest book , endgame, 1944. latest book, endgame, 1944. well, it's the end game for these out of touch numpty
4:08 am
dinosaurs from another era. former stars of an establishment media which is dying by the day. why? because it's no longer trusted. look at the bbc all over the papers today. standing accused of bias against israel in their reporting of the war in gaza on 1500 occasions, what would bbc verify their creepy disinformation watchdog have to say about that? i wonder ? here's say about that? i wonder? here's what i think people don't need to be protected from information or misinformation. we've all got a brain. we've got common sense. allow the public to have access to everything and make their own mind up. the pandemic, if i'm honest, was a watershed for me when enormous amounts of unscientific nonsense was spouted by the government and senior medics to sell in my view, failed policies which have left us with a deeply damaged and diminished country. so forgive me for not blindly
4:09 am
trusting the ruling elites and their messages. forgive me for having questions or objecting to tyranny like i did when i chopped up a mask on talk radio in 2021, aged pretty well . that in 2021, aged pretty well. that one free speech is just that it is free. and if we allow the privileged elites to take it away from us, we will pay a very high price . your reaction ? high price. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay. look, it's all about opinions. government experts, ministers, top scientists would argue that masking vaccines and lockdowns saved countless lives. that's not my view. but that could be the view of many. let me know your thoughts. but first, my top pundits. this evening we have former mep annunziata rees—mogg , former mep annunziata rees—mogg, journalist and broadcaster michael crick and former conservative mp and now farmer
4:10 am
neil parish. neil, let me start with you. are you worried about the state of free speech in this country? >> yeah , i think we need to >> yeah, i think we need to protect it. and i think you need to be able to debate everything, whether it's on the right or whether it's on the right or whether it's on the right or whether it's on the left. i mean, a lot of these sort of, sort of further right parties in europe have come about because the fact that they're all their parties and all their governments are very sort of politically correct and very middle ground. we've got to debate it properly and gb news, i mean, we're here tonight on gb news. so we're bound to say it's a great channel. but seriously, it does debate everything. it debates it properly. and if you've got right wing views and you've got right wing views and you want to expand them, do so . you want to expand them, do so. and i think this is the problem now is it is it about, you know, protecting people or is it about actually not giving them the facts? and i think that is the problem. and i think who is it that's going to censor it all? and that's where it's very, very dangerous. now, i know sometimes social media can be terribly offensive. and i think that needs to be taken down. but to
4:11 am
be able to debate the political position on either side, right or left on the israeli side or on the palestinian side, let's be able to do it. and let's be honest with ourselves. and i think all the time we are being censored. lots of stuff's being taken out of our books and all sorts of things. my wife's a teacher. i mean, she gets terribly worked up about all our books are being censored or what our children have now is completely different to what we grew up with, and everything is changing. but who is deciding this? this is the problem . and this? this is the problem. and in a democracy, we should be able to debate right, left, centre, whatever we want to debate . debate. >> well, michael crick is there a different way of looking at this? our concerns about free speech, just a right wing conspiracy? >> no. i regard myself as sort of a little bit on the left, centrist to the left, and i'm very concerned about free speech and upholding it and freedom of expression. and my view is that we should think if we're going to regulate social media more than it is regulated now , we
4:12 am
than it is regulated now, we have to think very carefully indeed that we don't go too far. i mean, for instance, if you're going to regulate because you and say you cannot put out misinformation, as you said in your monologue, mark, who is to decide what is misinformation? there are plenty of laws that apply to the media already in terms of inciting racial hatred, inciting violence, that kind of thing. and the same laws can be appued thing. and the same laws can be applied to social media. now, there probably are gaps that need filling there, but i just think we have to think, not rush into this. we have to think very carefully indeed. and of course, the real problem is that social media is not, you know , media is not, you know, confined. it's not like a newspaper, which is published in one country or a television station that is broadcast from one country. it's much more multinational. so it's harder to regulate in a way. but my, my overall view is be very cautious be and that, you know, freedom
4:13 am
of expression, freedom of speech is something that we have developed a civilisation well in the west, the liberal west certainly over the years. and we should constantly be on our guard to preserve it. although annunciator critics might argue that platforms like gb news or x, for example, or facebook , x, for example, or facebook, that they lend a voice to people who are divisive or even dangerous , bad for democracy. dangerous, bad for democracy. >> extremists , liars and cranks. >> extremists, liars and cranks. >> extremists, liars and cranks. >> i actually think that's very healthy, that if you don't have the ability to argue back against extremists , against against extremists, against misinformation, then people start to believe it. and the more you sweep it under the carpet , the more it gets carpet, the more it gets a following that cannot be debated because only those who've already sort of started to believe in it are even hearing it in the first place, because it's hidden from public view with light and air. we can all,
4:14 am
in our own ways, challenge the falsehoods that do come about in any exchange, in any platform, and we've seen falsehoods in mainstream media just because there are rules in place does not mean that things don't slip through. but we can argue against them. we can point out where things are factually incorrect or morally wrong, and we can argue against that. and i think that is why true freedom of speech is so important. we already have laws protecting against inciting violence, causing damage, all of those things we do not need to restrict it further. and in fact, it's worth dying in a ditch for to protect it for all our futures. okay, i think you'll agree. >> a very high calibre panel tonight. they're coming in hot and they return at 1030 for tomorrow's papers. i'll be asking after 1030. mark michael crick what he thinks about that ridiculous tweet from jonathan dimbleby. so self—important , in dimbleby. so self—important, in my view. but next up, will a
4:15 am
to stop the boats this new labour government.

next. well, the messages are coming in thick and fast . gbnews.com thick and fast. gbnews.com forward slash your say allen who is a gb news member. good evening allen how are you. he says this labour government will bnng says this labour government will bring us down and will become a laughing stock around the world. perhaps we already have, says allen of course, labour would argue they've inherited a mess from the tories, but here is a question for you. could a failure to stop the boats sink this new labour government? 8000 people have illegally crossed the channel and entered the uk since keir starmer entered office, and today it's been revealed that home secretary yvette cooper is considering tearing up a very extensively financed agreement with france over a plan to tackle the small boats crisis. meanwhile, there's growing speculation that the

germans are considering processing asylum applications in rwanda following this new government's axing of the policy. so what could be the political implications of labour's failure to stop the boats? let's get the views of former home office minister and reform uk spokesperson ann widdecombe. first of all, ann, it's good to see you again . widdecombe. first of all, ann, it's good to see you again. is the home secretary right to look again at this deal with the french? >> oh, absolutely. and should be torn up and we should just save the money. the fact is that the french have not delivered anything for the millions that we've given them. and they have no will to do so. and i can't see that with barnier as prime minister, they're suddenly going to develop a will to help britain. so yeah, i think it was always a nonsense. it's almost as big a nonsense as labour saying they're going to stop the gangs. saying they're going to stop the gangs . they might as well gangs. they might as well promise to stop the entire mafia and if you stop one gang, another one comes along and takes its place. so they're talking nonsense. and what i was
4:20 am
never able to understand is how they went through an entire general election with effectively no plan to stop the boats, no plan to deal with migrants getting off the boats, they actually went through the whole general election like that. and now, of course, we can all see no plan. >> and now, ann , the labour >> and now, ann, the labour can't do a worse job than the conservatives did in regard to these illegal crossings. and keir starmer is very focused on improving britain's relationship with the eu. won't that help us to stop the boats? a bit of collaboration . collaboration. >> it won't help us at all. as i say, we've already spent millions on trying to persuade the french to help us. we know that they stand there and watch the boats go out. we know they don't do anything about it. if you contrast that with the agreement that spain has got with morocco, for example , where with morocco, for example, where there really is genuine , genuine there really is genuine, genuine joint activity which has worked, if you look at that and then you
4:21 am
look at the absence of will in france. no. the fact that keir starmer wants to cosy up to the eu is not going to help us. the eu is not going to help us. the eu doesn't want to help us. >> and how embarrassing would it be for the government if germany or another eu nation were to adopt a rwanda style plan ? adopt a rwanda style plan? >> well, it would be extremely embarrassing because if they dropped the only deterrent that the conservatives had on offer. now you know, you can argue that it was a very weak plan and that it was a very weak plan and that it never actually came to fruition, but it was some sort of a deterrent . they dropped of a deterrent. they dropped that completely , and so if that completely, and so if germany now moves in germany, don't forget is also signed up to the european court of human rights. no, it's also signed up to it now , if it can move, to it now, if it can move, migrants to rwanda while being part of the echr. sorry. why was it that we found it so impossible? somebody explain that to me . that to me. >> and what will be the
4:22 am
political consequences for this labour government if they fail to stop the boats between now and the next election? >> oh, i mean, i have no doubt whatever that they'll lose. but i mean, for heaven's sake, just think what that means for the country. we've got five years before they need to go to the country, five years in which we could simply have boats coming in day after day, as they are at the moment . 9000 migrants since the moment. 9000 migrants since this government took power have come unchecked. just come and arrive and now have to be put into hotels. they have to be looked after, costing us millions , amounting eventually millions, amounting eventually to billions. and that will go on for five long years with a rivals amounting to the size of a city every year. i mean, every yearit a city every year. i mean, every year it will go on. and so i take no solace in thinking , take no solace in thinking, well, they'll lose next time. something has to be done soon,
4:23 am
of course, and just a few days ago, 12 people tragically died in the channel. >> we used the word migrant. these are human beings. is there a humanitarian for case legal and safe routes across the channel? >> oh, legal and safe routes are a nonsense. they're already in a safe country. they're in france. and you know , you try getting a and you know, you try getting a legal and safe route if you're a genuine asylum seeker, say you're an interpreter who was left behind in afghanistan, terrified of the taliban . no terrified of the taliban. no such thing as a legal and safe route, because you can't put your head above the parapet and apply those who actually do need our help are the least likely to get it. if you set up safe routes and all that will be doing, is, you know, offering to sort out france's problem because, as i say , they're because, as i say, they're already there. they're in a safe country. and of course, it's a trap. well, hang on, let me finish this bit. of course it's a tragedy that people die, but the way to stop them dying is to deter them from setting out on
4:24 am
that enterprise in the first place. well indeed. >> anne, sorry to interrupt you, but that takes me to my next question. what is reform uk's answer to the problem? >> well, the first one is that we will turn the boats around. before you say that can't be done. australia did it, belgium did it. it can be done. >> you can't do that with these dinghies and improvised vessels, though, can you, anne? because if the vessel were to sink, you could be sued for manslaughter if the vessel were to sink. >> but you are there beside it and you can tow it back. that can be done now. secondly, some will still get through, you know, and we've never, ever denied that. therefore, unlike the other parties, we have a plan b and plan b is that if anybody does get here, we say you are automatically refused because you're an illegal migrant. and before we deport you, meanwhile , we're not going you, meanwhile, we're not going to put you in a hotel. we're going to put you into a secure reception zone. now, you know, thatis
4:25 am
reception zone. now, you know, that is what we need to do with all new asylum seekers. that's a deterrent. and then whether you send them from that reception centre back to france, back to their home country or to rwanda , their home country or to rwanda, it's a deterrent. >> of course, many would argue that the reform uk solution won't wash with human rights lawyers. but an fascinating conversation. i missed you in august and look forward to our weekly encounters in the run up to christmas. my thanks to a very good friend of mine, formidable former government minister ann widdecombe next up, tomorrow's papers. with
4:26 am
4:27 am
4:28 am
it's 1030, so it's time for tomorrow's front pages. but wait, don't do it just yet. because let me tell you that we've got an amazing team here @gbnews. look, i've got my fabulous pundits. we've got michael annunziata and neil, i've got my amazing producers marianna and james. we've got i mean , i could just spend the
4:29 am
mean, i could just spend the rest of the show going through the team, but what about the directors? they don't get much of a big up. do you know what i mean? harry? alastair i just obviously again, i won't name all of them and offend people, but there's somebody very special that's moving on today and it is. josh directorjosh, he is going back to australia. he's a handsome australian man. and, he is going to go for the sunshine, the quality of life and the barbecues. but let me tell you that he's a brilliant director. he's excellent in an emergency. he's very talented. he's a lovely guy. and we will miss you hugely. so, josh, thank you for the many hundreds of hours of excellent telly that you've put out. and do stay in touch. okay, folks, it's time for tomorrow's papers . and we for tomorrow's papers. and we start with the daily telegraph in tomorrow's front pages nhs in decline. for the first time in 50 years, nhs progress is going backwards. for the first time in 50 years, a major report commissioned by the government has found. this is a report by
4:30 am
lord ara darzi, the surgeon and former health minister, who this week will highlight failures in the most basic care offered by the most basic care offered by the health service. it will criticise the amount of time that children are left waiting in a&e and how the nhs is routine. services ground to a halt during the pandemic. poll shock signals the end of kamala harris's honeymoon . that, of harris's honeymoon. that, of course, in the race for the white house and wes streeting not remotely happy over winter fuel cuts, the health secretary has said he's not remotely happy with the plan to remove the winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners. wes streeting spoke up as up to 40 labour backbenchers prepared to defy sir keir starmer by abstaining in tuesday's votes, on whether the cut should go ahead. on whether the cut should go ahead . okay, let's go to the ahead. okay, let's go to the daily mail now and, let's have a look at this , labour said. look at this, labour said. cutting oap winter fuel cash could kill 4000. that's what the
4:31 am
party's research claimed when starmer was in the shadow cabinet. so why is he forcing it through now? oh a little headune through now? oh a little headline about that handsome devil eamonn holmes. i mean , am devil eamonn holmes. i mean, am i going to get in trouble? annunciator for reading out this headune annunciator for reading out this headline eamonn takes new girlfriend on a spanish cruise. well, listen, i was supposed to be on that cruise, but he texted me last minute and said, i've got someone better. very jealous . got someone better. very jealous. anyway, have a lovely holiday. >> i don't believe you, mark. i was hoping to hear you say very interested in the all inclusive. >> i think it was the girl that said that. >> that's right . >> that's right. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> that would be right. it's an upgrade to get eamonn. eamonn have a lovely holiday and we'll see you when you're back. daily express now axing of winter fuel payments was cruel and a planned betrayal. the labour party clearly planned to betray pensioners before the election. the veteran tory mp said last night that sir andrew rosindell, who described the decision as cruel, is that disingenuous from a backbencher of a party that created this mess in the first
4:32 am
place? i'll be asking my pundits in a moment. metro official inquiry begins into thousands of deaths day of truth over mental health cull devastated parents hope that they'll finally find out why thousands of their children died whilst receiving care from failing mental health facilities over more than two decades. the lampard inquiry will begin to investigate the deaths of around 2000 people who were there , who were either were there, who were either inpatients at nhs funded independent clinics in essex or who died within three months of leaving between 2000 and 2023. it looks to be a devastating story that one and last but not least, for now, the guardian scores of mps could refuse to back starmer over cut in fuel payments corruption red flag on £15 billion covid contracts and failures at lucy letby hospital revealed. and how about this magnificent photograph of the stade de france in paris ? stade de france in paris? farewell paris paralympics
4:33 am
finale brings games to a close. the paralympics were a fabulous spectacle this year. so much accomplishment , so spectacle this year. so much accomplishment, so many heroic stories. and those are your front pages . let's get reaction front pages. let's get reaction now from tonight's top pundits. i'm delighted to welcome political broadcaster and former mep annunziata rees—mogg , tv mep annunziata rees—mogg, tv news legend no less. michael crick and ex—tory mp and now farmer neil parish and wokester. there's only one story in town and that is the growing civil war within the labour party over winter fuel payments. michael, we can agree this is an economic mess of the conservatives making, but it's now keir starmer's problem and it's becoming a political one. >> it is becoming a political one as the party heads to its party conference starting in what, less than two weeks time in liverpool. and it's looking like, you know, liverpool was meant to be for the labour party, a big party to celebrate an extraordinary election victory. and it looks like being dominated by this issue and of
4:34 am
course, the problem politically is that this is rachel reevess first fight as chancellor and she can't really you can't really give way in your first fight. you've got to be you've got to win your first fight, your first few fights. and that's the difficulty . and now that's the difficulty. and now you've got her wes streeting , as you've got her wes streeting, as you've got her wes streeting, as you quoted earlier, saying, you know, i'm not remotely happy about having to say to some of my constituents, quote, i'm sorry that i'm going to go into work this week to vote for something that will take money away from you. i mean, streeting say, i mean, he's saying that nonetheless. it's necessary. but of course streeting has only got a majority of about 500. he very nearly lost his seat at the election. yeah he did. and of course, if you know when, when the next leadership election happensin the next leadership election happens in the labour party, he will be a contender and probably the leading contender. so he's he's got something he can quote from way back in 2024. >> is he having his cake and eating it. >> there is an element of that. as for this idea, there's going to be this. >> politicians would never do that. no have their cake and eat
4:35 am
it. how could you suggest such a thing? >> as for this idea, it's going to be a huge rebellion. >> well, you might get, you know, a fair number of abstaining, but the number of people who will actually vote against it in the labour ranks, particularly amongst the new mps, they're all terrified after the seven left wingers were suspended for opposing the two. the two child benefit cap , that the two child benefit cap, that everybody's terrified they'll be thrown out of the party and, you know, not allowed to stand again and all that. >> and theatre. absolutely. >> and theatre. absolutely. >> i mean, the guardian says 50 labour mps are expected to not support. and the telegraph says 40 will abstain. so you're only looking at ten who are really going against the party. these are not big numbers. the majority is massive. it's very slim in terms of the number of votes that they won by and wes streeting is a great example of quite what a knife edge some of their constituencies are on. but in terms of parliamentary maths this is not a worry. >> i mean, the problem is. >> i mean, the problem is. >> sorry to interrupt you. isn't
4:36 am
there something thatcherite about this policy though? it's the idea of some painful medicine early in the administration in order to heal the economy. i mean, margaret thatcher inherited inflation. there were a lot of challenges there. she wasn't able to bring taxes down for several years. when she became prime minister isn't reeves cut from the same cloth here? isn't she labour's iron lady? >> it's much easier to argue that if you're not giving enormous pay increases with one hand to a level of working population and taking away from pensioners, which is unconscionable, surely, to most people as who needs it the most. >> okay, i mean, this is just so inept because it's not really going to save much money. you are 4 billion. yeah, but you're also going to have to pay it to also going to have to pay it to a lot of other other pensioners that are not going to get it, because rachel reeves is going to have to get this back somehow, politically, there are lots of things will be done. and then you see in politics and then you see in politics and then you've got the nhs and then you've got more elderly people
4:37 am
that will need treatment because they are cold. let's be blunt about it. so the whole thing is just a complete mess because they didn't need to target this. and so they chose politically to do it. and it is really unravelling very fast. and of course, they may have a massive majority in parliament, but you've got to remember, only 35% of the population voted them in. and i reckon now they would probably have difficulty in getting 30% of the population. and you know , and so, you see, and you know, and so, you see, are you suggesting that labour would lose an election if it was held? it'd be a hung parliament? well, if you had an election, it was actually 33.7%. >> i think in total, though not much over a third. then labour got fewer votes. then you got 9.5 million. they got fewer votes than jeremy corbyn did in 2019. and the actual number of votes it was because the conservative vote was completely halved by reform, basically. >> and so therefore they've got this massive majority now i like first past the post, but my god, you have got a parliament that is totally unrepresentative of the popular vote. there is no
4:38 am
doubt about the huge problems with this is that we're expecting fuel prices, energy pnces expecting fuel prices, energy prices going up as well up this winter, and that is caused to a great extent by the very policies that labour are pushing forward. >> all the greening of our energy. and if they are exacerbating the problem and taking away the amelioration for it, surely that is not right . it, surely that is not right. >> they've allowed the cap to rise. >> you see, all of these choices aren't they? they've made the wrong ones. >> aren't they playing the long game with green energy to make britain energy efficient and get bills down in the long run, even they have stopped claiming it will cut bills by £300 by £300. >> the exact same as pensioners will be losing. but if you look at the latest round when they had their auction just last week, the prices they're paying per gigawatt are absolutely eye—watering. >> we don't do our bit to get a grip on global warming . the grip on global warming. the costs that we have to pay as a
4:39 am
society in all sorts of ways. >> any other country. >> any other country. >> well, and we're setting a good example. >> emissions. no one is copying us because no one is stupid enough. >> and if we go back on our commitments, if we go back on our commitments, the rest of the world say, oh, well, we might as well weaken our commitment. haven't done anything anyway. and the costs are things like, you know, a appalling weather, the vast the migration will be massively bigger than it is right now because vast parts of the world will be uninhabitable. yeah >> go on, finish your point. >> go on, finish your point. >> well, i'd have it. yeah. >> well, i'd have it. yeah. >> your argument is the cost will be far greater in the long term. >> the problem is with michael's argument is that while the rest of the world might follow places like china and india aren't going to, and therefore, therefore they will be the ones who will pollute. and they are having their their industrial revolution. and we're seen as colonialist if we say they can't do it. and it's fascinating. so why are we're 1%, one, 1.25% of global warming? >> but that is not morally that's not an argument to say we
4:40 am
won't bother. no. >> all right. >> all right. >> yes. you're a farmer. you're experiencing climate change. so why aren't you behind the green agenda? >> well, i'm behind some of the green agenda, but not just force everything through. and of course, the cost. we don't we don't sort of look at the cost of what some of this is financially. and if we want growth, we have to do both, some greening but also cost. >> if we do the queen after the break, okay. >> one of the things we should be doing is not eating as much meat and then you'll be out of business. exactly. >> we should eat more meat. that's what we need to do. >> we should look at dietary advice. lots more meat and less of this. >> it's quite right. annunciator. yes. well done. >> just on the politics of this. i mean, it's a headache for keir starmer, but there's a pattern emerging from this new leadership and this new government which is standing their ground. the two child benefit cap okay. this is a policy which goes against labour's philosophy. but they argue it's for the economy. it's the correct thing to do. it's prudent. similarly cut your cloth regarding these winter
4:41 am
fuel allowances. this is a disciplined and consistent labour government isn't it . labour government isn't it. >> no. they say what they think they need to at that time. what he has done is learn that flip flopping. he was known as flip flop. keir before the election didn't win him any popularity. so he's sticking to his guns now i think should be encouraged. i think that's sensible in terms of character, but he's picking the wrong battles. >> it's absolutely the wrong battle to have courage. >> well, listen, let me tell you, to be fair, i think michael crick last word. yeah, to be fair, i think that labour will plan to get rid of both of these policies by the end of the parliament, but they just don't feel they can do it now. >> okay, listen, coming up, more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages plus a couple of very explosive stories has sir elton john just backed donald trump in the race for the white house and the race for the white house and the most offensive chants about the most offensive chants about the late great queen elizabeth ?a ? a shocking story, plus
4:42 am
4:43 am
4:44 am
4:45 am
pundits talking, let me tell you. well, that's what we that's why we have them here. let's have a look at more front pages. and we have the i newspaper with the following ministers consider a plan for cheaper energy bills as starmer faces winter fuel angen as starmer faces winter fuel anger. households on lower incomes would receive cheaper gas and electricity bills under plans being weighed up by officials ahead of the october budget , a officials ahead of the october budget, a social tariff for energy bills similar to those for mobile phones, is being considered to help ease the cost of living crisis. as criticism mounts over the proposed cut to winter fuel payments, times newspaper crime agency tasked with tackling gangs on its knees. the law enforcement agency at the forefront of keir starmer's plan to smash the gangs, is in crisis, losing more officers than it recruits and suffering an unprecedented brain drain. that certainly doesn't bode well for sir keir starmer's efforts to smash the gangs . efforts to smash the gangs. starmer to give winter fuel rebels short shrift. bullish pm
4:46 am
faces bid by peers to block benefit cuts and send in the clowns to help children heal more quickly. laughter really is the best medicine. researchers have found that children seriously ill in hospital with pneumonia made a faster recovery after a visit from specially trained medical clowns. it's a lovely, lovely thought there and a lovely story. daily mirror letby inquiry exclusive the deadly link the lucy letby inquiry will look into whether the nhs failed to learn from the crimes of sick serial killers beverley allitt and harold shipman. daily star there goes summer floods give way to an autumn freeze. br is the headune. autumn freeze. br is the headline . brace yourselves headline. brace yourselves britain, the hellish rain we've been having is going to get even worse. then it'll get really cold. oh goody, is the headline. there you go . thank you very there you go. thank you very much for all of those front pages reacting to those stories, annunziata rees—mogg, michael crick and neil parish , now
4:47 am
crick and neil parish, now alongside manager lee carsley's refusal to sing the english national anthem at yesterday's repubuc national anthem at yesterday's republic of ireland versus england football match, which was the topic of my big opinion monologue. there was further controversy before the game even kicked off, just hours before the two year anniversary of the late queen elizabeth ii death, irish fans taunted their english opponents with the sickening chants of lizzie's in a box! now we have the footage of these disgusting chants, but in the name of taste and decency , i name of taste and decency, i just couldn't bring myself to air it. they've got their free speech. fine. it's not a hate crime, but it's just really, really in poor taste. and let's get reaction from my pundits on this one. michael crick, you're a big football supporter yourself. i don't believe in sort of rounding these people up and arresting them, but it's pretty unpleasant stuff, isn't it? >> it is, and it just shows that
4:48 am
we're not just we're not the only country to have, you know, some nasty, a large number of nasty yobs. yeah. and of course, we saw that in ireland a few months ago with those appalling protests in the centre of dublin, so , you know, what can dublin, so, you know, what can one say? football attracts people. at least the game attracts a lot fewer of them than it used to. actually, and i go to football matches, you know, i go to a 50, 60, 70 games a year. and it's very it's very rare, actually . you come across rare, actually. you come across something as nasty as that. >> yeah. i mean, have you had anything, any of those derby games at old trafford, whether it's sort of liverpool or leeds united. have you, have you heard or encountered anything that you were offended by? yeah. >> i mean , the for instance, >> i mean, the for instance, there are regularly taunts by other fans from other clubs about the munich air crash in 1958 and united fans taunt liverpool fans about, hillsborough , all appalling hillsborough, all appalling stuff. and, you know, one side goes the other and but you can't jail these people. >> i think when, when our, when
4:49 am
our, when our manager won't actually sing our national anthem. i'm not saying this inched anthem. i'm not saying this incited the, you know , the incited the, you know, the repubuc incited the, you know, the republic of ireland's fans to sort of say liz is in a box, but it doesn't help. and i think, you know, we've got to be we really have not got we've really got to sort of face up to this and especially when we've got a monarchy. present monarchy , monarchy. present monarchy, who's really worked hard over the situation in ireland. it is offensive. but i just don't i'm sorry. i just did not agree with our manager not singing the national anthem. and this idea that you can't concentrate because you've got to sing an anthem. i mean, is he an irish republican? let's be blunt about it, you know, it's all very interesting. i think you can't legislate for taste. >> and i couldn't have just sat here and said what i did about free speech. if i thought you even should try . however, there even should try. however, there is no doubt this is completely tasteless , particularly on her. tasteless, particularly on her. the day before her two year anniversary that she was still a
4:50 am
mother, grandmother and much loved by millions across this across the world. it is deeply offensive. but i'm afraid. yeah, that's life. and they are tasteless idiots who i hope lost the game. >> and i think when you struggle at a football match too, isn't it? you know, when people start to chant, then everybody joins in and i think that's the other problem. >> you're right. and i think actually as, as journalists, we should not make too much of this because it only encourages them. yeah. to do more. good point. exactly. well, let's go. >> i would agree with that. >> i would agree with that. >> one very sad royal story to a more positive one, because the mirror are reporting this evening that king charles has made a special vow on the anniversary of the passing of his mother, queen elizabeth. the paper reports he's determined to return to his duties with renewed vigour as he enters the second chapter of his reign . second chapter of his reign. this off the back of the news that, princess catherine is hoping to be more visible in the run up to christmas. this is
4:51 am
great news. >> it would be wonderful to have them both back in full force and full health, and just hope that they are both genuinely better and not pushing themselves just because of their loyalty and dedication to our country. >> is there a concern that we're rushing them out too quickly, such as our keenness to see them? >> i think we've been actually a lot better than might have been true 20 years ago, that the queen, without a doubt, would have pushed herself to be back out far more quickly than she was ready for. out far more quickly than she was ready for . and i think there was ready for. and i think there has been a little more care taken that they have the chance to recover. and i really, genuinely just hope. >> i think the fact, too, that i think the fact that the king and the princess have been quite open with what's been happening to them, i think that's made it easier for the public. and i think we've got to you know, i think we've got to you know, i think we've got to you know, i think we've got to get them back to when they're ready. and i think, you know, we do have a monarchy that is really dedicated to public service. all right . i'm a dedicated to public service. all right. i'm a i'm an avowed
4:52 am
monarchist. i'll plead guilty. >> but michael, you know, like it or not, do you think that actually they've they've got a better hold on this story in terms of, you know, the palace and the media side of it? >> yeah, i think so. it seems to be there seems to be handling it well. and it's his reign seems to be going well. apart from the obvious personal problems, i mean, the problem that they've got is the number of royal players now because they've lost, you know, they've lost andrew and harry and slimmed it down anyway. you see the monarchy. >> well, let me tell you a slimmed down panel tonight. what a treat. >> i'm not i'm not slimmed down but i just i've got to work on that. >> michael and neil thrilled to have you in. really enjoyed your company. please come back soon. i'll see you on friday night. live at eight. headliners is next. first the weather and greg dewhurst . dewhurst. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on . gb. news weather on. gb. news >> hello there. welcome to your
