in history? we'll answer that pm in history? we'll answer that question straight after the news headunes question straight after the news headlines with the very parsimonious tatiana sanchez . parsimonious tatiana sanchez. >> mark, thank you very much and good evening. the top stories while drones have been seized by police after they were flown in breach of airspace restrictions that are in place for the labour party conference in liverpool, which begins tomorrow . which begins tomorrow. merseyside police said they seized three drones earlier today after a temporary airspace restriction covering much of the city centre was put in place. the prime minister arrived to the conference centre earlier today. now he is intent on shifting attention away from rows over donations and internal number 10 infighting. upon his arrival, sir keir starmer said the conference would show how labour fixing the foundations and rebuilding our country. kinsey schofield . kinsey schofield. >> and today we're going to set out and over the next coming

days how we're fixing the foundations and rebuilding our country. so enjoy . conference. country. so enjoy. conference. very, very good to be here. >> and today was day two of the reform conference in birmingham with party leader nigel farage giving his farewell address earlier this afternoon. last night, mr farage told supporters he believes reform can win the next general election, given the number of people that agree with their principles. he also explained what drove him to stand as clacton's mp once the election was called. earlier. this year. >> almost every level we've been betrayed. and then i thought about what was happening on our streets and frankly, i thought to myself, britain is broken . to myself, britain is broken. and then i couldn't help it. but if britain is broken, then logically britain needs reform how. >> now. >> this year marks the 80th anniversary of operation market garden and the battle of arnhem

celebrations in the netherlands. this weekend will commemorate 80 years since 1900. allied troops parachuted into the then occupied country with the aim of recapturing the bridges of arnhem throughout the day to day. the contemporary equivalent of those men recreated the drop at ginkel heath in ida , jumping at ginkel heath in ida, jumping from an aircraft into the very same space that our troops would have landed eight decades ago . have landed eight decades ago. earlier, brigadier mark berry told gb news how it felt to be there on the ground today. >> i think the struggle that soldiers felt here on the ground, the very, very difficult conditions that they faced epitomise what any one of us feel we could be called to face in the modern era. and therefore we come here to commemorate the bravery of those who went before us, and to challenge ourselves to think about their bravery . to think about their bravery. and will we be brave enough when our time comes and the met office has issued a further

weather warning with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for the rest of the weekend, the alert will remain in place throughout today, covering wales, the midlands, the southwest and parts of the south east. >> the forecaster has also warned that people should expect damage to buildings as a result of lightning strikes, and also disruption to public transport and flooding, all within the affected areas . and those are affected areas. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it is back to mark dolan tonight for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . gbnews.com forward slash alerts. >> wild eco hypocrisy from dame emma thompson and gary lineker. that's in my take at ten plus. could nigel farage and reform uk overtake the conservatives? will debate that shortly. but first

my big opinion. debate that shortly. but first my big opinion . the halo has my big opinion. the halo has supped my big opinion. the halo has slipped for saint. keir starmer, the most pious politician in all christendom. he gave boris johnson hell over partygate, even though his enjoyment of a lockdown refreshment earned him the nickname sir keir starmer. and he spent four years as leader of the opposition, banging on about tory sleaze , banging on about tory sleaze, cronyism and corruption. the quy's cronyism and corruption. the guy's only been in power for two and a bit months, but already looks to be a man in a glass house throwing stones at the start of his premiership. there were concerns over political appointments to the supposedly neutral civil service. eyebrows were raised when new labour grandee alan milburn began attending meetings at the department for health and receiving official documents in spite of his own personal investments in the private healthcare industry . healthcare industry. pre—election, a senior civil

servant in sue gray becomes his chief of staff, an overtly political role, and now she's paid more money than he is. plus a £2 million pension pot. what a time to be a socialist. there was the granting of a prized access. all areas pass to number 10 to labour donor lord waheed alli , who has handed the party alli, who has handed the party half £1 million in recent years . half £1 million in recent years. there was the gift of thousands of pounds from lord alli to the prime minister's wife , victoria, prime minister's wife, victoria, for high end clothes. now this is the same keir starmer who accepted vip tickets worth £4,000 from the football association, to see taylor swift at wembley arena. sir swifty and his wife got tickets to another gig at wembley to now, i certainly don't wish to drag mrs. starmer into a political row. she seems like a very nice lady and long suffering, having to listen to her husband waffling on at home about how his mother worked for the nhs

and how his father was a toolmaker. she deserves an award, frankly, but not free clothes , accessories and concert clothes, accessories and concert tickets. defending his actions won't cut it for a man in starmer who has based his entire political brand on being holier than thou, more pure than mother theresa, cliff, richard and mary berry combined. this is the chart that will come back to haunt the pm, demonstrating that he has received over £100,000 worth of freebies since 2019, the most of any member of parliament by a huge margin. but starmer has previous on this as the excellent harvey jones points out in a cracking piece in the daily express this week , in the daily express this week, while director of public prosecutions with questions to answer over jimmy savile, the post office and most recently mohamed al fayed starmer billed taxpayers for expenses of around £50,000 a year. that's just expenses of 50 grand a year. his successor, alison saunders, only

billed for a third of that amount and his combined pension pots are thought to top £1 million, from which starmer carved out a one man tax exemption , avoiding a brutal 55% exemption, avoiding a brutal 55% tax on larger pots known as the pensions lifetime allowance. starmer is facing criticism for accepting a free box at his beloved arsenal , worth accepting a free box at his beloved arsenal, worth almost £10,000 a year now. he said that he needs to be in a for box his security as prime minister. well, here's our former prime minister, rishi sunak. remember him keeping it real at southampton fc ? now sir keir's southampton fc? now sir keir's use of a box at arsenal is not the issue. it is his refusal to pay the issue. it is his refusal to pay for it. so why does this whole story matter? because it's further proof that sir keir starmer's holier than thou rhetoric doesn't match his actions. and as a result of this drama, he's earned a range of nicknames that will stick,

including two tier care and free gean including two tier care and free gear. keir among them. plus, he's earning an unwanted reputation too, as the greediest prime minister in history. reputation too, as the greediest prime minister in history . well, prime minister in history. well, the latest is that shadow chancellor rachel reeves has admitted to receiving a gift of thousands of pounds for her own wardrobe. there is something seriously wrong at the heart of this new government. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay. i'll get to your messages shortly. but first, tonight's top pundits . writer and top pundits. writer and broadcaster nina myskow. former eastenders star. the one and only john altman and ex—newspaper editor and media consultant neil wallis. great to see all three of you. my goodness, lots to talk about. neil wallis a week to forget for the prime minister. >> oh, very much so. well there is this saying that has been in fleet what used to be called fleet street. basically national newspapers, all of my career.

and this is what brings down conservative politicians a sex scandals. but what brings down labour politicians is always money, always money scandals . money, always money scandals. and you know what? i never actually expected him to start so quickly. the and so badly. the i'm talking about the amount of money, the backhanders, the, you know, the jaunts, the, the sheer extravagance of what he is hoovering up every which way he turns. and not only him , he's turns. and not only him, he's dragged his wife into it, too. but the other thing is, you quite rightly pointed out, it isn't just greedy, sir keir rachel reeves. you know, the pious, chancellor of the exchequer who's going to sting us all in the october budget, warning us about the black hole? well, she's been shovelling thousands of pounds of free clothes into her own financial black hole. i assume the then. oh, yes. there's the deputy

prime minister. she's been pocketing freebies from, donors , pocketing freebies from, donors, etcetera as well, including a new york holiday at the expense of a labour donor, lord waheed alli in new york city. absolutely. that was astonishing because she went there for a long weekend over new year, and she was actually only, it was valued at £1,250. you couldn't go to edinburgh for that? no waheed alli has got this huge luxury apartment in new york. it's a joke that it was only worth that. but don't forget david lammy. david lammy, the foreign secretary. he's had ten zero zero £0 as well from a saudi pr man. they're all at it and they were all at it even before they won the election. and while they were constantly sniping at the tory government alleging they were corrupt as well. okay. >> well, john altman, there is another side to this , which is another side to this, which is many would argue this is a drop in the ocean compared to

partygate during the pandemic. and of course , no rules were and of course, no rules were broken in large . broken in large. >> no, but yeah, i'm just harping back to what we were just talking about. i mean, it's unbelievable, especially being part of the labour party. he doesn't exactly sound like a man of the people, does he? and i'm wondering, sitting here listening to all this, whether or not he's got his fingers in many other pies, which we don't know about. yeah. >> well , you've know about. yeah. >> well, you've heard in my big opinion about how he's managed to negotiate an exemption from this rather significant tax on pensions worth over £1 million, which doesn't really sound like a very sort of left wing approach. so do you think this could cause long term, long term damage to keir starmer? >> definitely. i think it's dreadful. i mean, he started off in a really bad foot hasn't he. it's just it's just appalling. i've never i don't think i've seen i follow the news a lot and i'm quite political in many ways and i've never seen a prime minister get off to such a bad start . start. >> although, nina, i mean, is there a too much pearl clutching going on here? i mean, we know that the tories love donors,

too. and this is politics way too. and this is politics way too much. >> i mean, this is it is sheer hypocrisy. you cannot call him the greediest prime minister in history when you have boris johnson as an obvious example of what greed really means. we're not talking £5,000 for lady starmer's frocks and a stylist that's £5,000. we're talking hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on bloody wallpaper and, you know, new curtains and stuff for 10 downing street and that was not declared properly . and was not declared properly. and the tory party were fined for that non—declaration and boris's donors . unbelievably, there were donors. unbelievably, there were a lot of russian donors and that was way after the invasion of ukraine. boris also stuffed the house of lords with 10% of the population . the house of lords population. the house of lords is about 800,080 800 and thank god not but 8000 members. lords.

yeah, like 800 members lords and 10% are ones who've been put in there by boris, including russians. and you have to ask yourself, why is he repaying debts? and i'd also like to say there is absolute hypocrisy on freebies, particularly on the part of journalists. if journalists can get this whiff of a ticket to a concert or a football match, a flight on an aeroplane, a freebie holiday, they are there with knobs on and i bet you were too. i have, i have taken exactly neal who paid for that rather smart sports jacket of yours tonight. >> i think it was the wife, actually. well, there you go. >> mrs. wallace, is she a neil wallace donor? >> yes. >> yes. >> oh, you're shaking your head when nina was speaking there. >> i mean, look, the labour party has a vast majority in the house of lords. it's simply a matter of fact. so when you come down to what i'm really surprised by, nina, we quite often diverge on political issues . but the idea that ,

issues. but the idea that, pubuc issues. but the idea that, public publicly elected politicians, the one who stand up and provide the laws of this country, who lead the mores of this country, set the moral tone of this country simply by appealing for our vote, are the same as journalists and businessmen. you know, it's a nonsense, because i'm sure it's nonsense. >> i'm know i'm talking. i'm talking about i was never corrupt. nonsense i was talking about the idea of people getting free tickets . but we don't elect. >> we don't elect piers morgan, do we? or jeremy clarkson. no. >> did we? >> did we? >> but journalists have journalists have their own influence. and so. >> but they're not elected. >> but they're not elected. >> never mind elected or not. it's just a question of freebies that matters. besides which, victoria tweeted what i was going to say . we need the going to say. we need the leaders of our country to look good on the, on the

international stage. look at nobody for one minute, say one thing that the trumps have to have, say the trumps are millionaires. okay, listen, macron gets chanel kicked off. >> we are going to continue this with the papers at 1030. because let me tell you that freebie gates is all over tomorrow's front pages. but next up in the big story, nigel farage tells his conference that reform uk can overtake the conservatives at the next election . so is the at the next election. so is the most consequential politician of his generation about to change britain once ' 7 m. again? i'll be asking fearless political double

next. well, sir keir starmer could arguably be the most greedy prime minister in history. a very big reaction to my big opinion on the message board . opinion on the message board. gbnews.com/yoursay craig, who's a gb news member, says. good evening mark. the tories didn't pretend to be holier than god. starmer did , you silly cow. i'm

starmer did, you silly cow. i'm not sure who you're referring to there, craig, but harsh language. now how about this shutty says mark. maybe it wasn't against the law what starmer did, but what about declaring clothes as office suppues declaring clothes as office supplies or whatever it was called? connor says the question is not whether starmer's gifts were breaking the rules, but whether he should have accepted them. thank you for that. oh, and by the way, this from stephen, who says nasty nick from eastenders is a fine addition to the sofa. stephen, that was a fine addition to our programme. keep those messages coming. gbnews.com/yoursay. next up, the big story. coming. gbnews.com/yoursay. next up, the big story . andy reform up, the big story. andy reform uk party conference in birmingham concluded yesterday with an upbeat message from its leader, nigel farage. >> the message, the word that sums it all up, is optimism. we believe we can do better . we believe we can do better. we believe we can do better. we believe this country can do

better. we believe we can turn this country around. we know we have the silent majority with us all we have to do is to inspire them to join us, to believe in us, to help us. if we can put out that message of optimism and look at what we're up . against. look at what we're up. against. i mean, i didn't agree with blair, but at least he said things can only get better. starmer says things can only get worse . worse. >> so as the conservatives still battle to find a new leader could reform uk overtake the tories as the main party of the right in this country, let's get the views of britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. neil, what did you make of the atmosphere and tone of the reform uk conference this week? >> well, i think nigel was bang on the money saying that what characterised the reform

conference was optimism and they've got every reason to be optimistic because they've got where they are today because of the numpties who ruined the country before the last general election. and they can go to the next stage because of the numpties that are continuing to ruin the country. now under laboun ruin the country. now under labour. what we're seeing actually is the political class completely disintegrating around us and what we need is a disruptive force like reform and a disruptive leader like to farage upend the entire applecart so that the people themselves ultimately can take charge of their own destinies. once again. and the grifters like starmer and rayner and reeves and all the others can be booted out into the political wilderness and we can take back our country, which is what brexit was all about and which the political class has conspired to prevent happening in the last eight years. >> christine, there's a concern on the right that nigel farage will cancel out the tories and therefore isn't the price of

reform uk's political revolution a decade of labour in power? >> well, that may well be, but if anybody can cancel out the tories, it's certainly farage. i think a big mistake the tories made in 2019 was when farage stood aside all his candidates and allowed the tories to sail in with that monumental majority , in with that monumental majority, as i understand it, and he's not my best friend. there wasn't a word of appreciation. no acknowledgement, no nothing. the tories just took it for granted, tookit tories just took it for granted, took it as their their right. they're due now. they could have put farage in the lords for example, as a way of acknowledging that he has stood aside from the democratic elective process to help the tories, which is what he did. absolutely nothing. so i think he feels now that the gloves are off and let's go for it. and i think before we get to labour at the next general election, i think the local elections, if reform get their act together, if they take their lessons from the lib dems who know exactly

about cracked pavement politics, start working from the bottom upwards, they could easily find themselves taking control of councils all over the country, and the tories are in a pincer movement. i mean, funnily enough, today we've had lunch with some some councillors. let's just say that and they realised that they are in this pincer movement between the liberals and reform. and if the tories don't come out with a clear differentiation between them and the others, then why would anybody vote for them when they could , either according to they could, either according to their preference? go lib dem or reform vote for the real thing? why vote for the tories who don't really know what they are at the moment? >> neil, you are ultimately a conservative, whether it's a small c or a big c conservative. you're on the right politically. isn't the issue that there just aren't enough voters for both reform uk and the conservatives? this town ain't big enough for the both of them, and the only

winner at the moment is keir starmer. >> i think it's a great mistake to talk in terms of right and left in this debate. it's a case of a deracinated political class or effectively a mono party. i mean, what is the real difference between the current labour party and the conservative party on all the major policies of the day economic policy, the covid response, which wrecked the pubuc response, which wrecked the public finances? labour actually wanted to go even further than the tories in wrecking the economy on immigration. they're both completely useless on ridiculous net zero policies that are that are , are that are that are, are impoverishing us all and are going to threaten to do far, far worse over the years to come. they're all absolutely identical in what they say. so i think the difference between reform and other parties like ukip that are, broadly speaking, saying the same thing as reform is that they're providing a real alternative to what the political class has been saying. and today the political class

are really much more interested in protecting their own sort of seats on the gravy train than actually listening to the public at large. when you look at the current conservative leadership contest, i mean, what is the real difference between any of the half dozen or so nonentities who the public could hardly name in an identity parade, even if they had their names written around their necks, and what's gone before. i mean, there is no real change in the conservative party. it's not possible. so, i mean, i do think that there's a great opportunity here for a party like reform, 40% of the country didn't vote at the last election. the party, which has now got an overwhelming majority in the house of commons, only got a third of that 60% who did vote. so they got the support of 20% of the people in this country who were entitled to vote. i mean that that is hardly an expression of support for the democratic process in the uk. and i think we're in for a penod and i think we're in for a period of convulsion now in

which anything can happen. >> okay. well, that's a tantalising thought , christine. tantalising thought, christine. some would argue that reform uk is far right, that it's xenophobic. it's all about dog whistle politics, blaming all our woes on immigration and foreigners. but here's my question for you. what is the strategy? what is nigel farage's master plan? what is the end game? >> well, the end game . i mean, >> well, the end game. i mean, i'm as i said earlier, i'm not his best friend. i don't see inside his head, but his end game is obviously to be prime minister. i mean, he's made that quite clear. and a lot of people will laugh and say, don't be ridiculous. you can't do that. well, it would be two bands, but i mean, stranger things have happened. and the thing about reform is that people know what they stand for oh and yes, some people will think they're far right. people think i'm far right, which is rubbish. they'll think they're xenophobic and racist. there are racists, by the way, in all political parties, no party has a monopoly on xenophobia or racism. so that

one is a is a canard. but the nigel is clear and firm, and this is what he believes in. if you vote for him, if you support him, this is what you will get. and you can't really say that about either of the other parties at the moment. i mean, the labour party, the minute they get in, they're doing all they get in, they're doing all the things they said they wouldn't do. >> so thanks a brilliant neil and christine hamilton. great to see you enjoy the rest of your saturday evening. britain's most formidable and best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. now, before we continue with the show, some very exciting news with a man that's had a well—deserved break. he's been cruising, but cruise is back to the gb news studio on monday. >> this monday, the king of breakfast tv is back. that's right, britain's favourite tv host eamonn holmes returns to britain's hottest breakfast programme , breakfast, every day programme, breakfast, every day from 6 am. only on gb. news. britain's news channel

>> ship ahoy captain eamonn holmes is back on monday. can't wait. be great to see him again. coming up with tonight's top punst coming up with tonight's top pundits following jimmy savile, huw edwards and now mohamed al why do we allow powerful men to get away with

next. can reform uk overtake the conservatives between now and the next election ? well, this the next election? well, this from adrian as always. christine is spot on. reform will be the main party in this country very soon. they'll start by taking many council seats. but we need the voting system changed if reform are to be in government. but labour and the tories won't allow it , how about this, but labour and the tories won't allow it, how about this, neil, you are a legend, says anne marie sancho. i think that's a that's a very bit of high praise. it's a very, very good taste as well. an excellent judgement, let me just quickly ask you on that, neil, given

that you've been established as a legend, do you think reform can overtake the tories between now and 2029? >> i think it's still up in the air. i thought, christine hamilton, who i have to say i always think is a very shrewd political analysis analyst. i thought her point about how they do in the council elections will be very significant, because it will show whether there is enough of a bedrock support. so it's not just the sort of activist wing, as it were, but will ordinary people turn out for them? that will be the scary thing for the tories. >> the lib dems have always done very, very well in local elections and they've built on that and they've now known how to work the system because they want proportional representation and always have done. but they've but without proportional representation, they've known how to how to make their each vote count . so that's they've vote count. so that's they've got 72. so reform are going to have to go a long way to, to pass. lib dems , never mind the

pass. lib dems, never mind the conservatives. and certainly they're not going to catch up to labourindeed they're not going to catch up to labour indeed have a good chance. >> i think john get into definitely get to be opposition. i would say and i think i think lib dem the charm, if you like, of farage and his personality. i'm an actor, right. he has great personality and that comes across and also i think they strike at the heart of england. you know, you talk to taxi drivers, you talk to the milkman, the postman. they're not not everybody voted for starmer as we know. you know the percentage of votes were really low. but and yet he got in because of the situation of our voting system. so i just think he got in. they have a good chance. >> people loathed the tories and could see what damage they had done. >> i think people were bored of the tories as well, to be honest. not enough. >> john, you famously were nasty. nick. some people think that mr farage is nasty. nigel is that fair? >> nasty. no, i wouldn't, i wouldn't say that actually. no, no i think he's, i think he's, he's pretty popular out there . he's pretty popular out there. >> and do you know do you not

think briefly though john, that the conservatives and reform cancel each other out. the only winner here is keir starmer. >> well, it's unfortunate , isn't >> well, it's unfortunate, isn't it? and personally i didn't vote for either of the major parties. >> you didn't you didn't vote for any of the main parties. >> i just went by the leaflets through my door and i was looking at all their. and neither of them, neither of the major, major parties appealed to me, you know, and, and i voted green, which i've never done before. there you go. because their leaflet said that the things that i cared about, you know, you must have had a drink. >> okay. now he's back on the bottle. there you go. >> i've confessed . >> i've confessed. >> i've confessed. >> now, the former harrods owner, mohamed al fayed, has been described as a monster by lawyers representing ex harrods employees who said they were victims of rape and sexual assault. barrister dean armstrong kc, representing all of fayed's accusers, described him as presiding over a vast web of abuse and saying i've had many years of practice. i have never seen a case as horrific as this . it's never seen a case as horrific as this. it's thought never seen a case as horrific as this . it's thought that this. it's thought that ultimately the number of victims

could run into the hundreds. so following jimmy savile, huw edwards and mohamed al fayed, why do we allow powerful men to get away with these terrible crimes? nina myskow well, the thing is, because they can if you have as much money as as al—fayed had and power, you can surround yourself by people who will be your yes, men who will then enable you to act in the way you want to. >> i mean, this doesn't, you know, obviously works in a different way with savile. i mean, there was nothing to do with money that was to do with celebrity and fame. and people think, you know, people kind of fall over themselves towards celebrity and so and because he tried to sort of well, he did very convincingly give off these vibes that he was, you know, he was doing charity work in stoke mandeville. nobody could possibly have begun to imagine how horrific the things he actually did at stoke mandeville were. so people are seduced by

celebrity. they're also seduced by the aura of power and money. and i watched the that documentary on on on al fayed and it was utterly horrifying. i was practically weeping at times. those, those poor girls , times. those, those poor girls, and the thing is , because it's and the thing is, because it's a kind of secret shame, women don't easily talk about it. it's a secret shame. and it's this women actually start to blame themselves. they think, how did i do something to lead him on? is it me? should i have worn my skirt that short? should i have had those blonde highlights or my top two or whatever? so women think sometimes that it's their fault and he managed to sort of just game the whole system. >> plus he he was their boss as well. >> and they needed that job. they needed that income. >> yeah. >> yeah. exactly. >> yeah. exactly. and

>> yeah. exactly. and i >> yeah. exactly. and i think people like fear you know like like a mafia boss if you like, you know . yes. you would tell you know. yes. you would tell anybody you'd be bad for you i know, i know where you live. i know, i know where you live. i know where your family live. yeah. >> like the way you slipped into a bit of old don corleone. there >> you can take the actor out of the man. actor, actor, actor. >> but i think a lot like savile, too, as well. he apparently when, when people wondered how on earth he got away with it, they said that he threatened them because he knew some people in northern ireland. i won't mention who, but and he said, i know i have friends in northern ireland and they will deal with you if you if you say a word about this. so fear. i'm not sure about huw edwards, but there might be he might have used fear on that scale. we don't know. but a lot of these, if you want to call them that, yes you can. it's fear that they've used to get away with it for so long. >> yes, definitely. >> yes, definitely. >> neil, briefly, if you can. i fear that lessons won't be learned from this. >> i think that that's true . i >> i think that that's true. i thought it was a very good

analysis by nina . the truth of analysis by nina. the truth of the matter is you look at people like weinstein, he was a similar one. when people have vast money and blatantly have mass power, which is what al fayed did. you know, he literally he was known as the pharaoh of the west end, wasn't he? you know, he would stride around and he was always followed by an entourage, and he always had a huge phalanx of bodyguards, henchmen. and it was. yeah, and he had princess diana. yes. i think his misdemeanour started, not misdemeanour. his crimes started long before that. >> that was a few months that that dreadful summer. but i just wanted to say that also, one thing is, and things have changed since metoo, because women and girls are being brought up differently now to to, stand up to men. i mean, 30, 40 years ago, 50 years ago, women are brought up to be submissive, pretty nice. don't make a fuss to right if you are

being bullied or abused by a boss or a colleague, do speak out . out. >> coming up, my mark meets guest is broadcasting legend fred dinnage , m.b.e. will talk fred dinnage, m.b.e. will talk about his six decades in front of a microphone. his reaction to the huw scandal, and what does he think of gb news?

next. welcome back. it might take a ten woke oscar winning actress, dame emma thompson, and bbc match of the day star gary lineker get the take at ten treatment. but first, this. yes, indeed. i'm delighted to welcome the iconic and brilliant star of regional television, fred dinnage, m.b.e. it's time now for mark meats and this evening, one of the best known and most enduringly popular broadcasters in the country, fred dinnage,

whose television career has spanned nearly six decades, including the long running children's programme howl and itv's regional programming in the south of england and he's as busy as ever as one of the main stars of the sky crime tv channel. plus, he's on a theatre tour with his show about the notorious kray twins, ronnie, reggie and me. fred dinnage, m.b.e. welcome to mark dolan tonight! >> i'm delighted to be here. thank you so much for asking me. it's an absolute honour to be on gb news. it really is. >> thanks, fred. how did you get your first big break through? >> amazingly enough, a wonderful lady called ann nightingale, who later became annie nightingale. i think the longest serving radio 1 dj of them all, a wonderful lady who was a friend of mine in brighton, where i was working on the brighton evening argus. she came to me one day and said, there's a producer at southern tv in southampton

looking for a young presenter, and she said, i've given him your name. it was the biggest break i ever had . and so i went break i ever had. and so i went on three go round a kids magazine programme. two of the it was me and two girls, two of the earliest presenters. one was called diane keen, who became a very successful actress. another was called britt allcroft, who went on to get the rights to thomas the tank engine and is now a multi—millionaire. i believe, and living in los angeles. so of the three of us, you are now talking to the one who didn't quite make it. >> was there anything in your early years that was a clue to your future career? >> yes, i had a trial when i was about 16 or 17. i had a football trial with aston villa, which i thought that was going to be the future. i was a talented left back, so i thought in the very first minute of the game, the ball came across the goal. the watching manager was joe mercer, who was the manager of aston villa. i should have let it go out . it was villa. i should have let it go out. it was for a goal kick. i didn't. i tried to do a pele style overhead kick. the ball flew off my boot into my own net

and that was the end of my football career. many years later, i interviewed joe mercer. i said, joe, you could have signed the finest left back in engush signed the finest left back in english football. i don't think so, sonny said. i think you've done better where you are. he was probably right. >> so tell me about that book , >> so tell me about that book, ronnie, reggie and me. >> well, that was the book i originally wrote. it's called our story , which is the story of our story, which is the story of the kray twins, reg and ron kray. and then a few months ago , kray. and then a few months ago, guy called alex, who was actually a presenter on on your particular radio tv station , gb particular radio tv station, gb news, alex came up with this idea about let's do it, let's do a show. and so we're actually on tour talking about reggie, ronnie and me . lots of really ronnie and me. lots of really good videos in it as well, all sorts of videos, and it seems to have gone down particularly well and all the details. and i've got to get this plug in mark, if that's okay. facebook.com, forward slash, ronnie, reggie and me and all the details of our tour are on there and we

start touring again next month. but so far so good. there is this incredible fascination with the kray twins all these years after they rule the streets of east london. it is quite extraordinary. i get students who are doing criminology at university emailing me asking for information about the kray twins, and they weren't even alive when the kray twins were sort of ruling the east end of london. it's quite extraordinary how this myth, this legend, lingers on. >> is there a danger of glorifying or romanticising the krays , given their violent crimes? >> well, what we do is we make it very clear from the top. and alex introduces the programme. i do all the chatter in between, but we make it very clear from the top of the show we are not glamorising or glorifying the kray twins in any way. there's no messing about on that particular score. we let people judge for themselves, you know, just how bad or how good the kray twins were, whether they actually deserve the incredibly

long sentences they got. so we really don't try and glamorise or glorify at all. we just tell the story of the kray twins with a lot of videos, as it were, warts and all. and let people decide for themselves about the kray twins. and it's extraordinary the people in the various audiences we've had who've got links, even family links to the kray twins. it's been it's been a real experience. >> now, fred, many of your tv shows were networked across the country, but you are an icon of regional broadcasting. do you lament its gradual demise ? lament its gradual demise? >> yes, i do, because regional television , i think, is television, i think, is incredibly important and the kind of the friendship that exists between regional television presenters and the audience is quite remarkable. it really is. and people will stop you in the street and have a conversation as if you're old friends. and to me, of course, they always have been old friends. i love it when people come up to me and say how and

all things like that. yes. regional tv, regional radio, of course, as well, is incredibly important and sad to see it not doing so well anymore . doing so well anymore. >> now, fred, you were a news anchor for almost four decades, so i've got to ask you what was your reaction when huw edwards was convicted of his appalling crimes? well, that was really shocking because like many people for many years, i've been a huge admirer of huw edwards >> it's funny, you know, my wife and i went to the commonwealth games in glasgow some years ago, and we were sat in the stand there. i paid for it myself. it wasn't a freebie ticket. i just quite clear . we sat in the quite clear. we sat in the stands and i looked down. the bbc were covering it and there was huw edwards and i remember thinking , was huw edwards and i remember thinking, god, was huw edwards and i remember thinking , god, really? you know, thinking, god, really? you know, i'd love to be him because he was such a he was such a great broadcaster and so sad, isn't it, when your idols disappear or let you down in front of your

eyes? that really was a great shock and i'm really sad about it. >> you retired as a news anchor in december 2021. how hard was it for you to hang up your microphone? >> oh gosh, it was incredibly hard because i'd been fronting the itv regional show in the south and south—east of england and the thames valley for nearly 40 years. so it was it was really, really hard. and i missed it terribly. but i was lucky because, you know, this tour came along, i still do a lot of crime programmes for the for the sky crime channel. i'm lucky enough because saga, the cruise line, they let me go on their river cruises and so on, and i talk about the kray twins and i talk about the kray twins and also 50 or 60 years of bloopers in tv. so i have been lucky that that, you know, other things have come along . but yes, things have come along. but yes, i when i things have come along. but yes, iwhen i did things have come along. but yes, i when i did retire, i really did miss it because it had been such a very, very happy time. >> fred, what do you make of the changing media landscape with streaming and the emergence of

channels like gb news? >> well, i think i mean, i i'll be honest with you and this is the absolute truth. i watch a lot of gb news and i think it's very impressive. and i think your presenters, yourself included, are absolutely first class, all the streaming and all that stuff. to be quite honest, i don't really understand , but i don't really understand, but i'm surrounded by people, luckily, who who do but gb news i am and this is not nonsense. i am a watcher. i'm a follower. i think you're doing a great job, fred. >> that's very high praise coming from you. thank you so much. well, i'm delighted to say that fred dinnage has far from retired and is currently embarked on a nationwide theatre tour of his fascinating show about the krays, ronnie , reggie about the krays, ronnie, reggie and me. it's winning rave reviews for and tickets, head to facebook.com . forward slash, facebook.com. forward slash, ronnie, reggie and me. there you go. what a brilliant broadcaster. a treat to have

fred dinnage on the show. we've got a very busy hour to come. let me tell you. tomorrow's papers and an all star panel. we've got nina mish, neil wallace and a brand new star on mark dolan tonight. ex—eastenders actor john altman . ex—eastenders actor john altman. that's right. nasty nick himself. so a busy hour to come. we've got tomorrow's papers hot off the press. and in my take at ten, woke oscar winning actress dame emma thompson and bbc match of the day star gary lineker have signed an insane open letter calling for an end to fossil fuels. the gap between a north london champagne socialist elite and the rest of the country has never been wider. here's the issue ordinary brits cannot afford the luxury views of these millionaire hypocrites. so whether it's net zero or any of these other extreme policies, the bottom line is that dame emma and gary lineker are insulated from the consequences of their woke virtue, signalling

pronouncements. also, we're going to talk about us politics. donald trump fights back. he's got momentum. why is he so willing to do all the us talk shows , all the podcasts, long shows, all the podcasts, long form facing scrutiny and of course, continuing with those rallies. meanwhile, kamala harris, like her boss joe biden in hiding, will get reaction from the queen of us royal and political reporting kinsey schofield. but dame emma and gary lineker will be dealt with next. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there. good evening. some of us certainly entered astronomical summer with a bang. we've seen a few thunderstorms around across southern areas today , and there's the today, and there's the continuing chance that we see a few of those pushing across central into parts of wales might clip into the far south of northern ireland as we head throughout the evening. we then got a second pulse of thundery rain pushing its way into the

far south of england. as we head towards dawn on sunday morning. quite muggy and humid in amongst all of this as well. temperatures not dropping too far at all, but it will be chillier for the north—west of scotland. underneath the clearer skies here might see a touch of frost in some very sheltered areas. and for scotland, sunday is certainly one of a east west split. the best of the sunshine will be across those western areas. quite a nice fine start for lewis and harris. the highlands, argyll and bute, as well. but the clouds still lingering along those eastern coastal areas , maybe with some coastal areas, maybe with some drizzle around at times it will try and burn back a bit as we head throughout the day. northern ireland seeing some sunshine during the afternoon as well. but for much of wales central southern areas of england, this band of rain will be steadily pushing its way northwards, with some very heavy pulses possible. and there is a rain warning in force throughout the day. so do take care if you are travelling or out and about. some disruption is certainly possible . again, it is going to possible. again, it is going to be quite warm and humid even amongst all this rain. so temperatures where you do start to see some of those sunny spells emerging into the afternoon could still see highs around 20 or 21 c, 18 to 20 c is

certainly also possible for the likes of oban and fort william. places in western scotland. this area of low pressure that's bringing that rain on sunday is going to become quite slow. moving on monday as well, and so there's potential for further heavy rain around at times. there's still some uncertainty just in regards to the exact placement of this rain, so it's worth keeping up to date with the forecast. but another rain warning is in force throughout much of monday. again, some disruption, surface water issues and spray on roads is possible, generally drier further towards the north, but you'll start to see some of that rain pushing into the far north of scotland. and that heralds in a slight change as we head over the next few days, things turning cooler with a northerly wind setting in by. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather

gb news. >> it's 10:00 gb news. >> it's10:00 on gb news. >> it's 10:00 on television, on

>> it's10:00 on television, on radio and online in the united kingdom and across the world. this is mark dolan tonight in my take at ten, woke oscar winning actress dame emma thompson and bbc match of the day star gary lineker have signed an insane open letter calling for an end to fossil fuels. the gap between a north london champagne socialist elite and the rest of the country has never been wider. ordinary brits cannot afford the luxury views of these millionaire hypocrites, so dame emma and gary lineker will be getting the take at ten treatments in just two minutes time. also tonight , princess time. also tonight, princess kate goes back to work and meghan abandons harry. meanwhile, donald trump, back in pole position after yet another attempt on his life, will get reaction live from the states and the queen of us. showbiz, royal and political reporting kinsey schofield . kinsey schofield. and tonight's top pundits,

writer and broadcaster nina myskow. former eastenders star john altman and ex—newspaper editor neil wallis. let me tell you, they're coming in hot tonight. plus tomorrow's newspaper front pages. lots to get through. dame emma thompson, gary lineker, wilde eco hypocrisy. that's my take at ten straight after the news headunes straight after the news headlines and tatiana sanchez . headlines and tatiana sanchez. >> mark thank you. the top stories the keir starmer has promised to protect public services from extreme cuts, as he made a bid to move on from rows over donations and strife at number 10 after arriving at the labour party conference earlier today. while speaking to the sunday mirror newspaper on the sunday mirror newspaper on the eve of the conference, the prime minister said his government was not going down the road of austerity like that pursued by david cameron's administration. he's intent on shifting that attention away from rows over those donations

and the internal fighting at number 10. upon arrival, sir keir starmer said the conference would show how labour are fixing the foundations and rebuilding our country in jack carson . our country in jack carson. >> and today we're going to set out and over the next coming days, how we're fixing the foundations and rebuilding our country. so enjoy. conference. very, very good to be here. >> and today was day two of the reform conference in birmingham with party leader nigel farage giving his farewell address earlier this afternoon. last night, mr farage told supporters he believes reform can win the next general election , given the next general election, given the number of people that agree with their principles. he said. he's also explained what drove him to stand as clacton's mp once the election was called earlier this year. yeah >> at almost every level we've been betrayed. and then i thought about what was happening on our streets and frankly, i thought to myself, britain is broken . and then i couldn't help

broken. and then i couldn't help it. but if britain is broken, then logically britain needs reform. >> a snap poll opened today as members of the national education union vote on pay and funding. teachers and education professionals in the uk will have until the 30th of this month to either accept or reject the government's offer of a 5.5% pay the government's offer of a 5.5% pay rise. this comes after the chancellor, rachel reeves, agreed in to full follow the recommendations of the school teachers review body . and the teachers review body. and the met office has issued a further weather warning, with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for the rest of the weekend. the alert will remain in place throughout the day , covering throughout the day, covering wales, the midlands, the south west and parts of the south east. the forecaster has warned that people should expect damage to buildings as a result of lightning strikes, disruption to pubuc lightning strikes, disruption to public transport and also flooding or within the affected areas . and those are the latest

areas. 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 direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gb news. >> .com. forward slash alerts . >> .com. forward slash alerts. >> .com. forward slash alerts. >> donald trump bounces back. plus, princess catherine returns to work. lots to get through a busy hour. first, my take at ten. the north london champagne socialist elite strike again. bbc match of the day star gary lineker and oscar winning actress dame emma thompson, and actress dame emma thompson, and a bunch of other so—called celebrities that i've never heard of have signed an open letter calling for the immediate phasing out of fossil fuels. in an ideal world, we'd be phasing out these old showbiz fossils

whose hot air is probably the main cause of global warming. isn't it ironic that the likes of fried potato salesman gary lineker and oscar winning winger emma thompson, who are both literally worth tens of millions of pounds each, are willing to put their names to a policy which will see the rest of us made even poorer. the idea of transitioning away from fossil fuels in the short to medium term is utter insanity, and economic suicide. factories would grind to a halt, as they already have done in germany, thanks to green policies. the cost of fuel for cars, homes and businesses would skyrocket. most goods would become infinitely more expensive. inflation would return with a vengeance, and we'd likely be reliant on the likes of russia and saudi arabia just to keep the lights on. but dame for emma, example, won't have to worry about the cost of her eco ideology. she can just make another instalment of nanny mcphee and gary lineker. can

just do some more tv adverts for unhealthy junk food snacks, further worsening the obesity crisis , particularly among crisis, particularly among children. but these are the good people. folks do keep up the eye—watering double standards of these stars knows no limits. don't forget it was just a few months ago when private jet dwelling racing car driver lewis hamilton backed the militant eco group just stop oil. you couldn't make it up. meanwhile, gary lineker, who dismissively called october the 7th the hamas thing, preaches the eco message whilst broadcasting from the world cup in the middle east in vast air conditioned stadia in the desert. now, gary says , the desert. now, gary says, we're all hypocrites. no, gary, you're a hypocrite. and dame emma's hypocrisy is uglier than the aforementioned alter ego, nanny mcphee. she said on a recent climate change march, we cannot take out any more oil from the ground, except this is

a woman who cavorted on a vast, gas guzzling, 350 foot mega yacht owned by billionaire media tycoon barry diller , co—founder tycoon barry diller, co—founder of the us conservative news channel fox news, whose right wing output i've got no doubt dame emma detests. but what she didn't detest is the chilled champagne and caviar served up on this opulent vessel, one which carries two enormous diesel engines plus fossil fuel powered generators, presumably to put bubbles in the jacuzzi. dame emma first reportedly flew first class back in the day from the us to support a just stop oil campaign, even though a first class ba flight from to new york london costs £18,000 and generates nearly two tonnes of carbon dioxide for each passenger in the elite cabin, according to the paper. onlookers claimed that dame emma drank laurent—perrier champagne and dined on beef carpaccio, even though she has also previously called on us to eat less meat in to order save the

planet. i'm sorry, but you can't have it. both ways. you can't sit on board a £200 million super yacht and jet around the world, whilst telling us, the great unwashed that we've got to take fewer flights, eat less meat, and spend 20 grand on a new boiler. now i'm all for cleaning up the planet and reducing our emissions. britain is a world leader in green tech and there are jobs in it. transitioning to a green future will reduce pollution and offers many opportunities alongside a smart mix of nuclear and, yes, fossil fuels. but this transition has to be conducted with three things in mind the health and viability of the economy. policies must be rooted in evidence based science, and these changes cannot happen without the will and support of the people . and that's not what the people. and that's not what we've got now with the insanity of ed miliband banning perfectly viable oil and gas exploration in the north sea. bankrolling green projects because the

private sector have run a mile and betting the house on flaky renewables. emma thompson and gary lineker can afford that. but you and i can't. it's funny because emma thompson's films, from which she has accrued millions , are very popular in millions, are very popular in china. so as a big celebrity in china, why doesn't dame emma hop on a first class ba flight to beijing and convey her concerns to president xi? she could march on tiananmen square. dame emma loves a march . she can ask him loves a march. she can ask him whether china, by far the world's biggest polluter, are doing net zero themselves. the answer may surprise her. she'll be quite uncharacteristically lost for words. this eco letter, signed by a bunch of rich, woke celebrities, is dangerous. it's insane. it's unhinged, and it's a joke. let's hope it gets lost in the . post. your reaction ?

in the. post. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay. but first, tonight's top pundits. writer and broadcaster nina myskow. former eastenders star john altman and exit newspaper editor and media consultant neil wallis. great to see all three of you. there you go. well, listen , i've got to start with listen, i've got to start with the most famous actor in the room tonight, it's john altman. your reaction to the comments of dame emma and net zero? >> well , they both admitted to >> well, they both admitted to hypocrisy, haven't they? >> but does that get them off the hook ? the hook? >> well, perhaps their hearts are in the right place, but they're not actually doing as they're not actually doing as they say, are they? they're not. >> i mean, do you think what's your view about acts and celebrities pronouncing on political issues of the day? >> well, you're sitting here doing it now. yeah, yeah. >> but i mean, would you, would you have done that when you were starring in eastenders? >> would you have been on on twitter commenting on this, that and the other? >> probably. sometimes. yeah. yeah.i >> probably. sometimes. yeah. yeah. i feel quite strongly about a lot of things actually.

and, yeah, because you've got strong views on what's happening in the middle east at the moment, haven't you? yeah. very. yeah.i moment, haven't you? yeah. very. yeah. i mean, i was thinking, why, like starmer, for example, should stop sending arms out there because, i mean, the figures are horrific. i mean, over 41,000. yeah. >> it's carnage. what's happening out there? yeah. >> with regard i do i do speak out on that. yeah. because i've actually followed it for many, many years. and i knew that that would have been troubles there for the last 50 years. and the british were responsible for it in the first place. well, sure. >> and i've got no doubt we'll turn to the middle east when the papers come in at 1030. and as you say, it's a big subject. but my issue with net zero is i think we need to clean up the planet. but rich celebrities telling us to get a new boiler and stop eating meat is a bit rich. >> yeah, i think so, because they're not carrying out. they're not they're not practising what they preach. are they really? >> yeah . it's not the problem. >> yeah. it's not the problem. >> yeah. it's not the problem. >> i think you're being very unkind to emma. and you always are unkind to emma. she's a woman who can be annoying at times because she is so

talented. >> she's probably your neighbour in hampstead, isn't she? >> she's not my neighbour in hampstead. she's not my neighbour in hampstead. but the thing is, emma has her heart in the right place. and the letter that they've signed is not saying everybody's got to have a new boiler at 20 grand. it's not saying this. it's just saying it's asking the united nations summit to start to have an agreement to start transitioning towards which which means transitioning towards poverty, doesn't it, for any nation that adopts. it doesn't say at what speed. doesn't say by 2030 and bankrupt us all. >> what's the point of it then? >> what's the point of it then? >> it is just making their, their, their, their feelings felt to make sure the united nafions felt to make sure the united nations has this in, in the agreement that they will the statement they make at the end of this particular summit which which takes place on september 22nd, 23rd. so it's actually it's a bunch of parents who are talking about this on behalf of their children. mo farah is another one who signed it. so he's not he's not a no hoper rich celebrity. >> he's done a runner. but neil, what's your view on this?

because i just think that rich celebrities lecturing us on net zero is too much. >> so who appointed this group? who decided to go looking for pubuchy who decided to go looking for publicity ? hungry? no, they're publicity? hungry? no, they're not celebrities to actually put their names to something. frankly they won't make the slightest bit of difference to, pardon me, to a group of politicians at the un, you know, who are these people who asked them earlier this year? i think i've told you this before. i went on a train trip across china. if you go on a train train trip across china every half hour, 40 minutes or so, you will see a power station pumping out gases into the air. what i would be much, much more impressed by would be if those people there all rich enough who have signed this petition, all these celebrities got together

and as you mentioned, suggested in your take at ten, maybe they should go to beijing, maybe they should go to beijing, maybe they should go to beijing, maybe they should go tiananmen square, maybe they should stage a demonstration there, calling on the chinese to stop the amount of pollution they do. the world's biggest polluter, you know what? they would last two minutes. they'll never think about doing it. but what they will do is support action here, when in fact, the real truth is that britain has been a world leader in reducing the amount of carbon emissions and should remain that way. okay. >> briefly, nina. last word. >> briefly, nina. last word. >> well , i >> briefly, nina. last word. >> well, i think it's i think it's terribly unfair to pick them out in this way. they are doing this out of the goodness of the goodness of their no signalling their virtue, aren't they? >> no, it's not their middle class genuinely. >> they're genuinely are concerned that otherwise they wouldn't do it. >> but they are they are briefly

their economically insulated from the consequences of their words. >> they are economic. >> they are economic. >> they are economic. >> they can afford net zero. and my viewers and listeners can't take flights. >> yes. do you take flights? do you take flights? you said you weren't on a train, but did you? >> but i do because i love me a fossil fuel. >> well that's fine, but do i take first class, £18,000 flights? >> that's probably paid for by to be paid for by. >> look, these are people who genuinely care. and if they're if their names can make a slightest bit of difference to help the planet, then good on them. >> last word. russia and america belching fossil fuels like china doing the same thing. nobody seems to stop them. huge businesses . that multi—billion. businesses. that multi—billion. >> is it a mockery that then we're going to bankrupt ourselves for net zero here whilst this goes on elsewhere? >> well, well we're not. >> well, well we're not. >> does it make sense to you ourselves? >> we are not going to. >> we are not going to. >> does it add up? we will. if china aren't doing net zero, be an alternative? surely. pardon? an alternative. >> yeah, well, i'm going for smarter nuclear power and a bit of nuclear would be very nice.

so, listen, folks, that's what i think. it's an energy mix. but, look, we'll return to this with the papers at 1030. i think you'll agree that feelings are running high on this one. but next up, princess kate goes back to work and meghan abandons harry. why? plus, donald trump back in pole position after yet another attempt on his life. reaction from queen us showbiz, royal and political

next. papers at 1030. but first, us news with the queen of american showbiz, royal and political reporting kinsey schofield kinsey. good to see you and very good to see princess catherine back at work. >> yeah, that's right . there are >> yeah, that's right. there are some headlines. kate goes back to work . i some headlines. kate goes back to work. i think some headlines. kate goes back to work . i think they're some headlines. kate goes back to work. i think they're a little bit of an exaggeration. we need to manage our expectations. the princess of wales felt up to attending an early years meeting at windsor castle. no further details of the meeting were recorded in the court circular. but we know that catherine is incredibly

passionate about early childhood development, so this is something that's going to get her up and out the door. obviously, we're excited to see her in the future, but i think you would agree with me that we are much more eager for to her be and feel 100%. >> most definitely, her recovery is paramount. meanwhile her husband william, the prince of wales , makes an important royal wales, makes an important royal appointment . kinsey. appointment. kinsey. >> yeah, that's right, prince william revealed his new equerry. his name is squadron leader mike reynolds, who is a trained helicopter pilot and royal fans. they're thrilled that prince william and mr reynolds share a matching beard . reynolds share a matching beard. priorities. mark dolan mr reynolds position will include organising and assisting at pubuc organising and assisting at public engagements, arranging official diaries, and he's going to collaborate with approximately six other assistants working in the royal household at any given time. but this is, you know , i feel like this is, you know, i feel like prince william might find a

friend in him. so that's good news, most definitely. >> meanwhile, prince harry went to a kevin costner charity . his to a kevin costner charity. his wife was absent. what's going on? >> you know , mark, this was >> you know, mark, this was a rare moment where prince harry was presenting an award. instead of accepting one. he presented an award to santa barbara county sheriff's office helicopter pilot lauren courtney at kevin costner's charity event on friday night. this is the annual one 805 live's fall charity concert that takes place on kevin costner's beach front estate to benefit first responders in santa barbara county. last year, there was an awkward moment where meghan tried to take the microphone from someone. this moment went viral. i actually think we talked about it on your show. the person didn't want to give meghan the microphone, so there was this kind of tug of war that went viral online this year. meghan didn't show up. she stayed home. and according to the mirror, one of their sources said perhaps she was sick . said perhaps she was sick. >> there you go. we can

speculate, can't we? meanwhile, prince andrew's reputation once again dragged through the mud. another royal drama. >> have you watched this yet , >> have you watched this yet, mark? have you watched it? >> i've seen a couple of clips and they look pretty awkward. >> oh, you have mark, you have. this is so your humour. you have to watch a very royal scandal on amazon. it's amazon video. it's a three part series. i've amazon. it's amazon video. it's a three part series . i've never a three part series. i've never seen prince and i mean michael sheenis seen prince and i mean michael sheen is prince. andrew is brilliant, but boy does he make prince andrew a crispy character. i mean, within the within the first minute i laughed out loud at his portrayal. you have to watch it. it is very well done, it's it is damaging to the royal family, but you have to sit back and understand that this is television. this is not a documentary similar to the crown. we're watching things that are exaggerated for entertainment purposes. >> most definitely. >> most definitely. >> other streaming services are available . how damaging are

available. how damaging are these dramas to the reputation of the royal family >> i think that i think that they benefit them in some way too. i think that they are damaging, but at the same point it keeps them very relevant in p0p it keeps them very relevant in pop culture. it keeps people engaged. now people are much more aware of prince andrew and fergie, and they're going to be watching them in real life, trying to determine how closely those characters are to them. so i think it hurts and it helps at the same time. >> let's talk about the race for the white house. and donald trump has made himself very available, hasn't he? so available, hasn't he? so available that he's suffered an attempted assassination on two separate occasions . he's done separate occasions. he's done long form podcasts . also, he's long form podcasts. also, he's appeared on a comedy show this week , the greg gutfeld show, on week, the greg gutfeld show, on fox news. so trump is making himself very available. kamala harris not so much. >> you know, you say that , but >> you know, you say that, but kamala did sit down with oprah winfrey this week. she did sit down. it was a beautiful smoke screen and parade of celebrities like meryl streep, who once

called harvey weinstein . god, called harvey weinstein. god, you know, you talk about all the powerful men getting away with what they got away with. you were talking about that during the last hour. and here's harvey weinstein and his friend meryl streep. you know , all of these streep. you know, all of these people and these celebrities are endorsing an individual that has been lying to the american pubuc been lying to the american public about the state of biden's for health years. and, you know, i've said to you before, i'm not excited about anyone, but i don't believe that kamala is even remotely qualified for this position . but qualified for this position. but president trump does look weak by refusing to do another debate with kamala. but i think he is trying to make up for it in giving access to all of these different individuals. and he's trying to hit different demographics by talking to podcasters and going on cable news. >> well, that's right. i mean, that interview with kamala was a very soft one for kamala harris. trump has done everything he's done the lex fridman podcast, he's been on, what was it, this last, this recent weekend

podcast as well. and he's been on gutfeld, which is a big sort of us comedy show on fox news. let's take a listen to trump's appearance this week on that show. >> but i loved the camaraderie. i had a lot of great friends from high school. yeah, you know, you don't see them often, but one came up to my office the other day. he was a great looking guy. women loved him the most beautiful looking guy you've ever seen, and i hadn't seen him in many years. you've ever seen, and i hadn't seen him in many years . and i seen him in many years. and i said to the people in the office, the women, especially when you see this guy, how how he looks, he is he was football player. he was a great football player, actually, but he had everything. and the women loved him. and he walked into my office and i said, oh . i it was office and i said, oh. i it was not a pretty sight . some people not a pretty sight. some people did he take a beating ? did he take a beating? >> i mean, the guy has entertainment value. he's got charm in spades, hasn't he? >> absolutely. he's absolutely hilarious, but, you know, but i do think that he's very charming .

do think that he's very charming. >> and kamala is not being held accountable. i mean, just on friday, president biden held a cabinet meeting for the first time in almost a year and immediately handed the floor to his wife, jill biden. and critics are arguing that is proof that jill's been running the country. this whole time. so you know where why are people not asking kamala what's going on right now and what has been going on? and why were you so deceptive over the last few years? >> no, stephanie, i couldn't agree more. you're not deceptive. you're not elusive. like kamala harris will see you in a week's time. thank you to the brilliant kinsey schofield. do check out her podcast and website, both of which are called to die for daily, which is full of royal exclusives. speaking of exclusives, we've got the next with full pundh next with full pundit reactions.

it's coming up to 1030, so it's time for this . yes. hot off the time for this. yes. hot off the press , courtesy of producer press, courtesy of producer bobby. we've got tomorrow's front pages. the mail on sunday, hours after wardrobe gate erupted, the prime minister and sue gray, his chief of staff , sue gray, his chief of staff, enjoy a spurs freebie with lobbyists who backed hated breakaway football super league and advises tax avoiding tech giants. sir shameless is at it again, is the headline. now this is an exclusive by glenn own . is an exclusive by glenn own. the freebie row engulfing sir keir starmer deepened tonight as it was revealed that he shared lavish football hospitality with a powerful lobbyist who backed the controversial breakaway super league. the prime minister and his embattled chief of staff, sue gray, enjoyed a corporate box at tottenham hotspur last sunday, just hours after fresh wardrobe gate allegations emerged about clothes. sir keir and his wife had taken from labour donor lord alli. okay, we'll listen to a bit more on this. tickets were

funded by spurs, one of the six clubs which mounted the controversial 2021 attempt to leave the premier league. sunday express, now al fayed world's worst sex predator also embattled pm engulfed in rows over winter fuel cuts, freebies and infighting is told by allies ditch toxic aid to end the chaos. sir keir starmer is under pressure to ditch his chief of staff, sue gray whose feud with the cabinet secretary is at the heart of the turmoil. so the paper says sunday times now follow my example and get back to the office, rachel reeves said amid work from home row. the chancellor, rachel reeves, believes that employees benefit from being in the office and lead by example by going in five days a week. despite labour's commitment to more flexible working. that seems to be a disagreement there between the chancellor and jonathan reynolds, the business secretary, who promised last week to end the culture of

presenteeism in workplace, in which people turn up just for the sake of it, a bit like neil wallace tonight. rayner in rule breach over donor holiday angela rayneh breach over donor holiday angela rayner, deputy prime minister, appears to have breached parliamentary rules by failing to declare that a friend joined her on a personal holiday funded by the now notorious lord alli. al fayed escaped charges twice over sex abuse is the other story . meanwhile, the sun on story. meanwhile, the sun on sunday strictly bounces back with zara . bully row zara with zara. bully row zara mcdermott returned to strictly tonight weeks after pro—partner graziano di prima was axed for kicking her. daily star sunday out of this world exclusive close encounters of the third kind. 1 in 5 would save pet instead of mother in law after auen instead of mother in law after alien invasion. let me tell you, my mother in law's a very nice lady and i'd save her over a any day. okay, let's get reaction now to the front pages with my

brilliant pundits this evening, we've got writer and broadcaster nina myskow who doesn't pull her punches. boxing's over by the way, who won? i'll find out in a second. we've also got former eastenders starjohn second. we've also got former eastenders star john altman second. we've also got former eastenders starjohn altman and eastenders star john altman and ex newspaper editor and media consultant neil wallis. more bad, bad headlines , neil for the bad, bad headlines, neil for the prime minister, sir. shameless prime minister, sih shameless is at it again, this time in a private box at tottenham. >> this is his nightmare. this continual barrage of publicity, this continual barrage of endless freeloading is going to hurt. i cannot believe i think i said earlier, i cannot believe i have never seen a government implode so quickly in a reign. and as several of the other papers go on to point out, it's going to need to get a grip on this because the attacks are

coming on many fronts and what's more, what's always worse with a scandal like this is more revelations keep coming. yeah, and that's because there are so many revelations to come . many revelations to come. they're not recycling the same old story . more they're not recycling the same old story. more and more stories come out. you mentioned earlier that he, had claimed, or pocketed, jaunts worth something like 100,000. it's actually £118,000. this is not a poor man. why is he raking something like that in over a five year penod? like that in over a five year period? it's just wrong. >> does it tell us anything about starmer's character? >> i think it does. i think it betrays the fact that he's a man who's deeply, deeply interested in his own interests. you pointed out earlier about how he negotiated a one off pension deal that no one else in the in

the public sector has got. he negotiated it for himself, and it's worth absolutely many , it's worth absolutely many, many, many thousands. it's worth absolutely many, many, many thousands . and, you many, many thousands. and, you know, it sort of sends a message. and don't forget, we're talking about a man who five years ago was the staunchest supporter of jeremy corbyn before the previous election. he was a fanatical pro corbynite. >> no, he was not. he was not fanatical. >> he said, jeremy is my friend and i wanted to be prime minister. >> look, he everybody says there's no point of denying the sun rises and the moon. he knew that the labour party needed to change to make it electable. so he didn't believe in anything. >> he didn't believe in anything before . he doesn't believe in before. he doesn't believe in anything. now. >> the labour party, he did not believe in corbyn. >> did he believe in. >> did he believe in. >> he believed in finish. he believed in the labour party. and you cannot change things from the outside . you have to be

from the outside. you have to be on the inside to change. people said he was a lawyer. he's not a politician. he's one of the wiliest politicians. there are. wiley. he is a he is a very. look, i don't vote for the man. so i'm not i'm not his apologist. but i'm saying that in the in the years since he's been leader, he has seen off the left. jeremy corbyn, the left wing of the labour party. they are put to one side and he's got himself elected with the biggest majority. they are still there and he's still dealing with them . and he's still dealing with them. but but the thing is, he has brought them from unelectable. election disaster in 2019 to winning with the biggest majority is that starmer had a plan and it's working. >> he's now prime minister >> he's now prime minister >> what, so that he cynically decided to support and help the extreme left of the labour party? >> well, he's now prime minister, isn't he? >> well, there is that. that's true. so he did it. >> but of course, he's become prime minister. >> sorry. let neil finish. i finish the sentence. i know it's difficult for you. >> don't be patronising . i won't >> don't be patronising. i won't have it. >> we'll have a group hug in a

minute, would you? >> you. most people , political >> you. most people, political observers would argue that the tories lost that election, that the vote that elected the labour party was a small, relatively small vote? most people voted against the tories and i understand why the result. >> look at the result. the result is extraordinary. and the point being that in 20th december 2019, if you had said to anybody, will the labour party come back from this and win the next election, they would have thought you were absolutely barking mad. john, we're talking here about tickets to the football, right? >> private boxes, glasses of champagne. we're talking about expensive spectacles, fancy suits and dresses . isn't expensive spectacles, fancy suits and dresses. isn't this quite trivial stuff? does it really matter? isn't this a bit of a storm in a teacup ? of a storm in a teacup? >> well, as we said earlier, the storm in a teacup. boris. boris was at. it, wasn't he? but i think there's at least seems to be a lot more on mr starmer's personal shopping list than than meets the eye. and i feel my

instinct tells me there's going to be more. and yeah, i it does. does he have close contact? will you find out for me with the with the arms dealers in this country. >> oh come on. >> because that's why he won't stop. no no you're not. >> well, wait a minute. >> well, wait a minute. >> i mean, the arms being sent to israel. that is disgraceful. and i'm priti. i'll bet he's. i bet he's in cohorts with those people. i guarantee it. he knows all his businessmen and the arms dealers. >> wait wait wait. let let your point your implication is that keir starmer is somehow financially involved with financially involved with financially buddies with, with the arms industry and therefore he doesn't want to upset them. >> and so he's not stopping. >> and so he's not stopping. >> well, john, we've got the evidence to demonstrate the export of millions of pounds worth of arms. i'm sure the prime minister and they act, they actually they've they've cancelled contracts about a week ago. >> so you know what? >> so you know what? >> but not enough. >> but not enough. they've they've, they've they cannot cancelled several several arms export licences to israel.

>> and we've got no evidence that the prime minister has financial or indeed personal links to the arms industry . we links to the arms industry. we have no evidence you're entitled to your view, though, and i never know about it. what it does raise a question about. it's about the integrity and ethics of our new prime minister, doesn't it? i think many people thought was going to be a new leaf for the country. after 14 years of so—called tory sleaze . sleaze. >> yes. >> yes. >> are you disappointed? >> are you disappointed? >> i am, and you know what? i'm a i'm a fan of corbyn, too. i bet he i bet he wouldn't have done all this. >> you don't think corbyn would have taken freebies? >> no, no, he might have taken a couple. but i would say it was much more humble. man, can i say humble? a more a wiser man? >> one of the reasons this is going and going had a makeover. one of the reasons it's going out is because the right wing press , which when labour got press, which when labour got into power a couple of months ago, were were suddenly out in the cold. instead of being able to pull the strings like the daily mail and the telegraph and the express could do, which they have been doing very happily for 14 years, their noses were

completely out of joint when keir starmer won this huge majority. so for it to be given any a sliver of dirt of, of any kind, they are going to town. >> are you not shocked by the scale of sir keir starmer's greed? £100,000 in freebies since 2019, the largest amount of any mp in parliament, twice by some. yeah, double by some margin. >> i am i am rishi sunak not evenin >> i am i am rishi sunak not even in the top ten. he doesn't need to take it. neither does he's richer than king charles. >> neither is sir keir, who is reportedly worth millions. >> king charles well, he's not a multi—millionaire, isn't he, keir starmer? i can't imagine that. well, the current dpp is on £200,000 a year, so he'll have been . it would have been have been. it would have been a six figure salary, but i cannot. >> pension pot is about a million quid. >> i doubt very much if he's a millionaire. people it's only when you only become millionaires, when you leave politics. no, you only become millionaires when you leave politics. i mean, look at tony blair. he wasn't a millionaire. tony blair was a very, very rich

for decades. >> he's one of the country's top barristers. >> before he became he was a millionaire. when he became he was not a millionaire, he became party leader and when he became prime minister, i think i think that nina is upper gumtree here. >> i'm not. keir starmer is patently a multi—millionaire. no he's not. listen, you're a former national newspaper editor and you're very good at appraising how wealthy celebrities are. keir starmer is loaded. >> keir starmer is certainly loaded now. and he's certainly a man who was very carefully cultivated his own wealth. as you saw with that deal that he did with the tax man that no one else has got. >> but you cannot say that he's a millionaire. you have no idea. >> the greediest pm in history? no. >> boris johnson boris johnson, i think starmer is beyond johnson, actually. >> come on. boris bought a few a few pots of paint and some wallpaper . wallpaper. >> this is a whole fire. >> this is a whole fire. >> i think we're going to have to, james. we're going to actually take a break and we're going to come back to this because my brand new star or mark dolan tonight, our top pundit, john altman, has just said that keir starmer is worse

than boris johnson. and greedier. so we'll debate that next. plus, a shocking headline in tomorrow's. let me just get it. sunday telegraph terror suspects waltz in on small boats, says robert jenrick tory hopeful . are the boats a threat hopeful. are the boats a threat to national security? we'll debate that. plus, whether keir starmer worse than boris johnson when it comes to

>> okay. well. >> okay. well. >> more front pages to come. and an update on the boxing, which has concluded. bad news for anthony joshua, but let's just continue our conversation about the sleaze row affecting the prime minister. if you've got a second, harry, can you get me that mail on sunday front page again? and it's bad news for the pm. the sleaze row continues, sih shameless is at it again. are hours after wardrobe go. excuse me. hours after wardrobe gate erupted. prime minister and

sue gray enjoy spurs freebie with lobbyists who backed hated breakaway football. super league and advises tax avoiding tech giants john altman. my top pundh giants john altman. my top pundit this evening. you've said that you think that boris johnson might be not even as bad. do you think that keir starmer is sort of more greedy and self—serving than boris johnson is? nina is not going to agree. >> but from what i can see and what he's been doing and i reckon there could be other other goings on as well. fingers in the pie. as i said earlier, and i think possibly is with you. >> do you have trust issues with keir starmer? >> does he does he enjoy your confidence as prime minister? >> not at all. i didn't vote for him. no. and i mean not just not impressed by him really has something about him that i just just just doesn't seem right. and he's really got a few secrets up there. it's he's all out for number one. i reckon he'll say he's a man of the people. maybe. but i so disagree with you. i would to love love our leader, but i don't. i would love to love our prime minister, i really would, but it's very

hard. it's very hard, isn't it? but do you not think they're all like that, or do you think there's something uniquely self—serving about keir starmer? yeah, i do actually. yeah. yeah, i mean, do you have anything to, to, to sort of back that up? >> i mean, i suppose these stories back it up don't they neil? >> yeah, precisely. starmer is the most self—serving politician. i think we have had in this country for very, very many years now. i understand i turned against boris johnson. incidentally, nina, i completely lost any faith with him. i voted for him in the 19 election. but i completely, would walk away because of partygate. that really ? you disowned boris really? you disowned boris johnson because of party game. it was partygate, but this is the, there is a remorseless, grabbing of things here. this is a man who's constantly on the make and the person who's

benefiting from it, in my view, is keir starmer. and i think in, in just two months he has thrown away so much of the trust that millions upon millions of people in this country put in him because he promised so many things. a better britain and he will he will deliver them . will he will deliver them. >> he will, he will, he will deliver them. >> look, nina, briefly, have you not been? >> does nobody go to wimbledon and sit in the royal box? politicians do that. >> do you think that there's any bad aspect to this for winter fuel allowance is a disgrace. >> i think people will die because of that. i think it's winter fuel allowance being cut. old people will die. >> i mean, have you in living memory? can you think of a government that's had a worse start than this new government? >> no. i cannot, but but this is because the media has piled on. >> the media has reported what's happening. no. >> they have they have piled on with relish. and they don't kill the messenger. >> nina. >> nina. >> no, no, no, they have the drama. >> the drama is there to pile on, isn't it? >> i mean, and this business

with. with sue gray stories misogynistic in the extreme. she is a middle aged, strong woman. and people hate that they they're terrified of that. and so if a man who earned £3,000 more than the prime minister would not have got this , i think would not have got this, i think it's dodgy that a senior civil servant goes to on become a very political chief of staff in a labour government. >> that seems highly inappropriate. >> she is not a civil servant. she resigned. she was. she resigned. she resigned to join the labour party. >> are you basically are you allowed to change? >> basically he is basically she is basically what's called a spad, a special adviser. >> okay, briefly. and also did keir starmer interview her or talk to her while she was a senior civil servant? that hasn't been denied. >> no , it certainly hasn't. and >> no, it certainly hasn't. and in fact there were meetings. okay they had contact. okay. >> and what's wrong with that last word. >> well. well, i think it's inappropriate for a senior civil servant to become an active

political. >> she was going to go. then she wanted to go. why not change? i mean, editors, people, people jump mean, editors, people, people jump ship all the time. >> all right, well, listen, let's bring you up to date on what's happened in the boxing. daniel dubois has beaten the british boxer anthony joshua by knockout in the fifth round at wembley stadium. he knocked joshua down four times in five rounds. so it was a very tough night for anthony joshua, and the fight has just finished a few moments ago. so dubois retains the belt. do you enjoy a bit of boxing , nina? bit of boxing, nina? >> i think it's legalised violence and should be banned as a sport. and what knockout is, is a brain injury. it's some kind of. you know, if you fell over , you know, on the pavement over, you know, on the pavement and you hit your head, that's concussion. somebody actually hitting you, that's the same thing. it's legalised violence. i think anthony joshua is a great guy. i've seen him on telly a bit and he's a lovely human being. but this is just awful. >> i'd like to see the stats. >> i'd like to see the stats. >> i'd like to see the stats.

>> i would have thought there were probably more injuries in football and rugby. neil. >> i think there may be. but then again, many, many, many more people play football and i really worry about head injuries in football as well . i have no in football as well. i have no disagreement with you really. it's not a i don't see it as a sport, but it is a fascinating spectacle and i understand why blood sport, it's if anybody's ever. >> eveh >> i've never been to a boxing match, but i heard somebody describing it. and if you're sitting, you know, near the ropes or you know, there's blood everywhere. >> well, with that in mind, i would avoid the us usb. what's it called? you. on usb, it's a big american sport. ufc. ufc. that's even worse. not as bad as bbc. now, what do you think? do you like boxing? >> i enjoy it, yeah. i mean, i love rocky the movie. oh, it's incredible, but i'm not really. i don't see a lot of it. i haven't been to a boxing match for a long time, but i'm like, nina, i worry about the damage that can be caused a long term bashing of the head, you know,

thatis bashing of the head, you know, that is we saw with the lovely muhammad ali. you know who wasn't too good towards the end. >> you try to inflict brain damage on your opponent. i mean, football and rugby, it's tangential. >> well, that's it's obviously it's high stakes, which is why millions watch it. but let's now look at our final front page sunday telegraph terror suspects waltz in on small boats says robert jenrick proof if we needed it , john, that we need to needed it, john, that we need to stop the boats because actually there are people coming into the country whose backgrounds we don't know some of them could be unked don't know some of them could be linked to terror groups. >> i don't understand it. i cannot understand it. i mean, did did did starmer say he was going to stop the boats? i just can't understand. we have a navy. we have all police. i just cannot understand how it's been going on. so long. and it is a worry. these people, i mean , i worry. these people, i mean, i agree with people coming from awful countries whereby warfare has ruined their lives, etc. and they come here and they they bnng they come here and they they bring a skill and they work. there was someone, there was someone from poland talking

about how they don't allow anybody in unless they're going to work and they have a work permit. i think we just it's a complete mess. and it is a it's a huge worry, isn't it? it is neil, if it's true, robert jenrick i wouldn't be surprised if he speaks with authority on this subject because he resigned as immigration minister under the last government. >> yeah, that's the significance of this. it's not just that. it's another tory hopeful making these claims. jenrick was actually in a position to know he was the immigration minister. you can't just dismiss this and you know, say, well, it's just a politician politicising he knows. and when you read this he reckons there's at least a thousand people who are coming who have been identified as either suspicious or linked to crime. >> a couple of seconds , this >> a couple of seconds, this tory leadership will be decided on immigration, won't it? >> well, if they're going to go to the right, it will be. yes, but i mean there's jenrick is making such a shameless sort of

bid for this. he's you know, he's trying to inflame things. he's trying to, you know, inculcate, you know , fear and inculcate, you know, fear and terror in the population. >> well , listen, folks, let me >> well, listen, folks, let me tell you, it's been a very busy night. thank you so much for your company watching on tv, listening on the radio, my brilliant pundits, i think you'll agree. all smashed it out of the park. we're back tomorrow at 9:00 with my big opinion. my take at 10:00 and an exclusive interview with al—fayed's biographer. busy show tomorrow. but next up, headliners >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news on. gb. news >> hello there. good evening. some of us certainly entered astronomical summer with a bang. we've seen a few thunderstorms around across southern areas today, and there's the continuing chance that we see a few of those pushing across central into parts of wales might clip into the far south of northern ireland as we head throughout the evening. we then got a second pulse of thundery rain pushing its way into the

far south of england. as we head towards dawn on sunday morning. quite muggy and humid in amongst all of this as well . all of this as well. temperatures not dropping too far at all, but it will be chillier for the north—west of scotland. underneath, the clearer skies here might see a touch of frost in some very sheltered areas. and for scotland , sunday is certainly scotland, sunday is certainly one of a east west split. the best of the sunshine will be across those western areas. quite a nice fine start for lewis and harris. the highlands, argyll and bute as well. but the clouds still lingering along those eastern coastal areas, maybe with some drizzle around at times it will try and burn back a bit as we head throughout the day. northern ireland seeing some sunshine during the afternoon as well. but for much of wales central southern areas of wales central southern areas of england, this band of rain will be steadily pushing its way northwards with some very heavy pulses possible. and there is a rain warning in force throughout the day. so do take care if you are travelling or out and about. some disruption is certainly possible. again, it is going to be quite warm and humid even amongst all this rain, so temperatures where you do start to see some of those sunny spells emerging into the afternoon could still see highs around 20 or 21 c, 18 to 20 c is

certainly also possible for the likes of oban and fort william. places in western scotland. this area of low pressure that's bringing that rain on sunday is going to become quite slow. moving on monday as well, and so there's potential for further heavy rain around at times. there's still some uncertainty just in regards to the exact placement of this rain, so it's worth keeping up to date with the forecast. but another rain warning is in force throughout much of monday. again, some disruption, surface water issues and spray on roads is possible. generally drier further towards the north, but you'll start to see some of that rain pushing into the far north of scotland , into the far north of scotland, and that heralding a slight change as we head over the next few days. things turning cooler with a northerly wind setting in. >> by the way, looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather
