>> it's 9 pm. on patrick christys. >> tonight i wanted somewhere safe and quiet for my son to do his gcse preparation. i needed it to be secure because of the situation we were in. >> is that a lie.7 starmer's son's gcses barely coincide with when he squatted at lord ali's £18 million penthouse and as even £18 million penthouse and as ever, one rule for them, another rule for everybody else. now it looks as though he may have broken covid rules by pretending that lord ali's home was his own dunng that lord ali's home was his own during the pandemic. plus winter fuel save the winter fuel, save the winter fuel . the winter fuel. >> save the winter. >> save the winter. >> i speak to one pensioner who worries that she will die in her sleep this winter because of starmer's winter fuel cut and. >> i've been cast away on a

desert island, completely on my own. >> i can't believe it either. phillip schofield is back, but should he ever be allowed on telly again? apparently the bbc offered him a role. surely he's the last person they want right now also. >> homes for heroes becomes a reality and not just a slogan ahead of other groups. >> so important. >> so important. >> yeah, that will require regulation to be passed to make that priority. but it's not ahead of all other groups . ahead of all other groups. >> should veterans get housing before asylum seekers? starmer doesn't think so . doesn't think so. >> but i say to the russian representative on his phone as i speak that i stand here also as a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from africa at the barrel of a gun, to be enslaved. >> david lammy makes the un and the ukraine war all about him and embarrasses himself in the process. on my panel tonight is

the director of the popular conservatives mark littlewood, landlord and activist adam brooks, and journalist and broadcaster nina myskow. oh, and what's going on here? about. goodness me. get ready, britain, here we go . here we go. if starmer houses asylum seekers over veterans, he's finished . next. >> good evening. the main headunes >> good evening. the main headlines from the gb news centre. dozens of prisoners have been let out of prison by mistake as part of the government's emergency release programme. the ministry of justice has confirmed that 37 people were released mistakenly

on the 10th of september because their offences were wrongly logged. this meant these cases supped logged. this meant these cases slipped through the safeguards, which are there to ensure those convicted of certain types of crimes would not be released. most of those freed by mistake have now been returned to custody, but five prisoners are still at large tonight . the still at large tonight. the prime minister has told gb news there are legitimate concerns over migration levels. sir keir said he tended to agree that those levels were too high. but he told our political editor, christopher hope, that those concerns were no excuse for violence. >> you understand people have legitimate concerns about immigration and we should debate them. and where they say to me, we think there are migration is too high, then i tend to agree with that. and the reason is because among the reasons is because among the reasons is because of the skills failure over the last years. and we need to fix that. many many people across the country are concerned about immigration, but they

wouldn't for a minute go on to the street and throw a brick at a police officer. and i think it is wrong to pretend or that they are one and the same. they are not. >> well, the prime minister was speaking ahead of his speech to the united nations , where he the united nations, where he called for british nationals in lebanon to leave immediately. sir keir said 700 additional uk troops as well as aircraft and ships, were on standby in the region to evacuate britons if necessary. thursday has seen another intense day of cross—border fighting between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. hundreds of rockets and missiles have been fired by the terror group into israel, while the idf confirms it struck more than 2000 terror targets in lebanon over the past three days. the prime minister is at the centre of fresh controversy over a decision to accept several weeks accommodation at a luxury property in london. the

accommodation was made available by labour donor lord alli. the stay was valued at around £20,000. sir keir defended his decision to accept the offer , decision to accept the offer, saying it was because his son needed somewhere quiet to revise for his gcses after the press surrounded his home during the election campaign. and finally , election campaign. and finally, it's a rise. sir alan bates, the leading campaigner for subpostmasters during the honzon subpostmasters during the horizon scandal, received his knighthood from princess anne at windsor castle. the 70 year old fought a long campaign after he and more than 700 other subpostmasters fell victim to a faulty id system, wrongly accusing them of stealing from their post office branches . and their post office branches. and richly deserved reward for sir alan bates. now it's back to patrick 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. >> welcome along! brave military veterans should get social housing before asylum seekers and people who've entered britain illegally. that's my view. that is a common view. yesterday at labour party conference. sir keir starmer said this. >> every town and city in this country, people who were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, who put their lives on the line to protect all of us, but who will not have a safe place to sleep tonight. we cannot stand by and let this happen. any more. so today i can announce that this government will respect that service. we will repay those who served us and house all veterans in housing need. homes will be

there for heroes, homes for heroes. >> all right. now many people took that to mean that they would get priority when it comes to social housing. but given the lack of trust that many people now have in anything the prime minister says, we got our political editor, christopher hope, to ask him for more detail. and here's what he said. >> this is a very important commitment that we've made because to many veterans who have you know, given so much to their country , find themselves their country, find themselves without a roof over their head . without a roof over their head. so because we've taken the difficult decisions on planning decisions that were not taken for years, we can guarantee that they will have a roof over their heads. but it's not, ahead of all other groups. this is unlocking, you know, a real step forward on homelessness for many people who are homeless. >> all right . okay, so the >> all right. okay, so the second you scratch the surface, it completely unravels. labour's homes for heroes is not a policy. it is literally just we're going to build more housing.

apparently, veterans will not have to pass the local connections test, meaning they don't have to prove that they've got a history in a certain area in order to be able to be given social housing there. but neither will asylum seekers. many of whom will have entered britain illegally because they're only local to places like afghanistan and iraq, two countries that we sent our brave armed forces veterans to go and fight in homelessness amongst military veterans in england has risen by 14% in 2022. in fact, labour's own figures from 2023 showed 500 veterans households were made homeless every three months, so despite starmer trying to make out that veterans will have priority housing, the reality is that if somebody comes to britain on a small boat from a country that we've been at war with and manages to claim asylum at the third attempt because someone from the church of england decides to vouch for the fact that they're a christian now, they could be housed before a veteran . yet housed before a veteran. yet again. there appears to be a big difference between what keir starmer says in public and what

the reality is. this shouldn't be a debate. it should be veterans before asylum seekers. every single time. let's get our thoughts to our panel this evening. i'm joined by the director of popular conservatives , mark littlewood. conservatives, mark littlewood. ihave conservatives, mark littlewood. i have also got landlord and activist adam brooks and journalist and broadcaster nina mish . all of you. thank you mish. all of you. thank you very, very much, mark. so there you go . you know, it's homes for you go. you know, it's homes for heroes and all of that stuff, apart from the fact that it isn't. i thought he ruled out any more gimmicks. >> well, quite. and he seemed to concede in this interview with with chopper that he hasn't even built these homes for heroes yet, that, you know, we're going to change the planning restrictions and more homes will be built. >> look, it's very difficult on social housing. i mean, i would prefer that we didn't have social housing that we had a world in which people had enough money to buy private housing in each and every case. how do you order it? and you make the point? very well, patrick, that it seems extraordinary that an asylum seeker should be above the queue from a veteran. but i don't think asylum seekers should be in the queue at for

all social housing. if you're an asylum seeker, you should be here fleetingly. while we consider your claim, the idea that we're putting you up in number nine acacia avenue for a few years is madness. i mean, you should be in very temporary accommodation, and if your claim is accepted , okay, you go into is accepted, okay, you go into the welfare system. but i think this speaks to a wider problem that we haven't looked after. our veterans properly. and that's actually a case of overall cash. sometimes i don't think we should patronise them by saying , because you're by saying, because you're a veteran, you get a free house or whatever they should be looked after financially, then they can make their own decisions . but make their own decisions. but the idea that these two cohorts would be in the same queue is absolutely bizarre. >> yeah. i mean, so at conference yesterday, he does say, you know, homes for heroes. but the reality when you scratch the surface is that those people will not be skipping any kind of queue at all, really realistically. do you think that's wrong? should they be housed before asylum seekers and illegal immigrants? >> veterans should take priority. they've served this country and we have our freedoms because of veterans, no asylum

seeker should be housed in this country before our own needy are housed. in my opinion , angela housed. in my opinion, angela rayner scrapped the plans to prioritise, long term british citizens over foreign born . why citizens over foreign born. why did she do that, you know, you've got to ask that that question, we've got thousands of elderly people this winter that will go hungry and freeze to death because of labour's policy to withdraw the winter fuel payments. but someone can come over on a dinghy and be housed, fed and get free health care. for me, that's embarrassing to be part of this country that does this to not only our veterans, our citizens and our elderly. >> nina, do you think it's fair that somebody who's maybe just come over from literally wherever, whether it's sudan or afghanistan or eritrea or whatever, could be higher up the social housing queue than

someone who's had a leg blown off in afghanistan fighting for this country. >> i don't think that's necessarily the case. i think that that's the way you've interpreted it. in fact, the labour party before, they were in power in april last year, april 23rd. they set up this campaign homes fit for heroes . campaign homes fit for heroes. so they have been planning this all along. it's not just some gimmick they've come up with for conference. that is fact. and if you actually ask how many homeless veterans there are at the moment, the latest figures were about 2100. they are going to find places for those 2100. they are not going to wait for houses to be built. those people will get priority . they will. will get priority. they will. there's nobody saying that the asylum seekers aren't going to be housed and they aren't. and there are other categories who also demand our attention. victims of domestic violence, social carers, you know, they they also need, should they all be put before illegal immigrants. no, it's not a question. there will be room for everybody. >> well but this is the

difficulty. >> well there isn't room for everybody because there's scarcity. no, but there's scarcity. no, but there's scarcity in the housing market. >> but but the thing is you're you're implying that that starmer and i must keep repeating this. i didn't vote for starmer, and i'm not his apologist, but i'm just saying trying to make it a fair level playing field. it is not that he that starmer is pro asylum seekers and anti everybody else. it is not that at all. okay. and you mentioned the countries from which they come afghanistan, afghanistan in particular where our heroes went and fought, where, prince harry was, was deployed. but it's a massive but it's a massive risk. >> yes. because they the taliban. >> what made me point out to you, many of those people who arrive here on boats are people that we have abandoned, who are our interpreters? there are there are people. >> i don't agree, frankly , that >> i don't agree, frankly, that there's because there's not enough interpreters in the world for the amount of afghans. >> there's not just not just but so here's here's the issue, though, nina, you might be

right, but the prime minister was extremely unclear on the clip that patrick just showed. and if you are going to allocate state resources like social housing and there is a fixed amount of it, i mean, i would love to see the stock grow. we haven't built anything like enough houses. then you need to have a priority order. and you can argue about whether veterans should be at the top, or women who've suffered domestic abuse should be at the top, or people with local connections, or people who've paid taxes for 50 years. you can argue about what the exact order should be, but you need an unambiguously clear priority list. and i'm afraid the prime minister did not enunciate anything approximating a clear priority list . a clear priority list. >> i don't think he can at least just to say, you know, he's there at conference. he says one thing and what any right thinking person would take from thatis thinking person would take from that is that there is going to be a priority for a group of people. and then when you ask him, he sees, he repeats the line about like, oh, we're going to do loads for them and everything. and then you say, well, will they get priority?

and he goes, well, not over other groups. and i can tell you clear as day what's going to happen, because he wants the headunesin happen, because he wants the headlines in all the papers to to, look like they are prioritising the veterans. >> you dig deeper and they're not. but it's not just veterans that there are people in my local area, young adults that are sleeping on parents settees because they've been told the waiting list for social housing is years and again, you speak to them and the anger that they feel when they see people coming across the channel illegally shouldn't be here. half of them are economic migrants and they are economic migrants and they are being housed before our own. it has to stop half. >> it's not true that half more than half, no it's not. it's way less because the percentages of people who are allowed to stay here are way above. but you agreed, nina, that british citizens should get priority above asylum seekers. >> and then we can have a separate argument about the way we prioritise british citizens, because there's a whole, you know, domestic violence against being a veteran, connections to the local area. but do you agree british citizens should be a

higher priority than asylum seekers? >> everybody has an equal right. >> everybody has an equal right. >> well then there's no priority. >> no. well, there has to be worked out because. well, that's why i'm asking it. no, no, the thing is , you you have to you thing is, you you have to you have to be fair. these people are british citizens. >> priority over asylum. >> priority over asylum. >> of course you would of course you would. >> quite a common view. >> quite a common view. >> i think that is fair. >> i think that is fair. >> that's the majority view. >> that's the majority view. >> well, not necessarily the majority. vast majority. the point being that we have to find well you cup the thing is you cannot blame keir starmer for the situation we are in now. we can blame the conservatives for not being very clear on what the conservative party for fetching us up in this state where they haven't looked after veterans blaming keir starmer for not being very clear to christopher hope. being very clear to christopher hope . yeah, that's executive hope. yeah, that's executive government. that is that is a thatis government. that is that is a that is a that is a just interpretation. you can blame you can go back as far as margaret thatcher and blame her for selling off. >> he should be clear that british citizens should get priority over asylum seekers. >> i think it's not a very difficult sentence to say in an

interview. i think it should be equal interview. i think it should be equal. i think we should. well, there's no priority. there's humanity involved by lottery, there's humanity involved and as i say, you go back to margaret thatcher and she didn't build enough houses. >> the main the main thing that people on the ground want to see is us. stop sending billions abroad, helping everyone but our own . own. >> we must not everybody thinks like you. most people think like me. no no no no no. trust me. do you agree that we're a generous nafion? >> we're a generous and open nation. we're not a racist nation. we're not a racist nation. we're not a racist nation. we help who we can until we can help our own. >> when it comes, when it comes, when it comes to children in need, we are a very generous society. we look after our own. can ican society. we look after our own. can i can i just finish? can i can i can ijust finish? can i just finish my point? do you know that muslims give four times the amount to charity per year than the average brit? did you know that? >> because if you do, because you might be. you might also want to check the ons stats on that, because they also do unemployment rate by religion. and unfortunately muslims do feature very, very high. >> what has religion got to do with this argument?

>> i'm not saying, but i'm saying that you're you're implying. >> but nina, the key question here is do you prioritise british citizens or particular cohorts of them, like veterans, like victims of domestic violence above asylum seekers, or don't you? you said there should be no priority. the prime minister just seems to be ministerjust seems to be unclear . i'm ministerjust seems to be unclear. i'm not blaming him for what he's inherited, but i am blaming him for not being clearer if we're being asked to have 1.5 million new homes built in a year or whatever they're going to do in five years or whatever it is, i think some people will be perfectly willing to accept that maybe the green belt or the fields at the back of their house has to be built on. >> if they had a relative confidence that the people who are going to live in those houses were going to be veterans, or they were going to be, you know, british people who are currently in need and haven't got a house. if actually the reality is that a lot of those homes are going to go to people who've maybe just arrived across the channel, you know, maybe some people will be fine with that. but i think people would have a right to say, well, hang on a minute. i don't particularly well, hang on a minute to help brits before

foreigners. >> can i just say the people who would qualify the asylum seekers who would qualify for social housing will be people who will have been accepted as migrants, accepted as accepted as migrants, and therefore they will be part of our society. they'll be working and paying taxes. >> no, they won't because they're also at most urgent need of being made homeless because we put them in hotels for a bit and then you accept them and then you go, you've got 28 days before you're on the street, so they can go to the top of the housing waiting list. this is, this is this is an issue that people we need, we need to integrate them into our society. >> we get them working, but we also need to clear up our, our own. oh well fine. >> we are we are massively over time. thank you very much for a lively start. okay, right. still to come keir starmer has finally admitted that people who are worried about immigration are not far right. but it comes just one day after his home secretary sparked outrage with this shocking claim to the tories with their mates in reform are just becoming right wing wreckers. well reform uk mp lee anderson joins me very, very soon to get back to that. but first. >> i've been cast away on a desert island, completely on my

own. >> yeah, i still can't believe it. that's right. former itv presenter phillip schofield is set to make a tv comeback 16 months after he was axed from this morning for having an affair with a younger colleague. it was unwise, but not illegal. but does he deserve a second chance? businessman and activist adam brooks, who you've just seen a bit of that is going to go head to head with journalist and broadcaster janice obe. that's in just few minutes time.

welcome back to patrick christys tonight on gb news now reform uk mp lee anderson joins me live very, very soon. but first, should phillip schofield be allowed to return to tv? it's time now for our head to head . time now for our head to head. that's right. so former itv star phillip schofield is set to make a sensational return to the limelight, 16 months after he departed from itv over his affair with a younger colleague. the 62 year old will appear in a channel five special called castaway, which follows a celebrity stranded on an island off the coast of madagascar for nearly two weeks. >> i've been cast away on a desert island completely on my own. all i have is camera gear and i can say whatever i want about whatever i want. it's my chance to tell my side of my story. i know what i did was unwise, but is it enough to

absolutely destroy someone ? absolutely destroy someone? phillips i can't believe this is happening . happening. >> it will be the first time that schofield has been seen on tv since he agreed to step down from itv's this morning, following a brief affair with a younger member of staff, which he owned up to in may 2023. tonight i'm asking should schofield be allowed back on their telly? let me know your thoughts gbnews.com/yoursay. tweet me @gbnews. now going head to head on this are the businessman and activist adam brooks and the journalist and broadcaster jj anas sarwar. thank you very much, both of you. adam, i'll start with you. sure schofield be allowed back on the telly? >> not in my opinion, no. i think he disgraced himself. he even described this relationship with this boy as deeply inappropriate. let's remember he knew this teenager, this boy as a teenager before helping him become an internship on the programme, he lied to his agents. he lied to his co—stars. he lied to the nation. and then

you know, he was held up as some hero for coming out as gay. you know, we were meant to worship him for doing this. and then this all came out, with the lies and the shame, no, i think what message does this send to people out there that you can be rewarded for such behaviour? i've got many friends in the media that do not have a good word to say about phillip. they described him as rude on set, the atmosphere was described as toxic, i think it's time for him toxic, i think it's time for him to stay away. many people i speak to do not like him and do not want to watch him. >> all right, jj, i mean, does this not slightly fly in the face of the idea that this is a broken man? i mean, you wouldn't send a broken man to do ten days alone on a desert island without alone on a desert island without a crew, would you? >> well, i don't think he's as broken now. >> that's why he's doing, doing, hoping for this comeback. adam. adam. to say he's disgraced himself. he's made mistakes.

he's lied to everyone. well, welcome to politics. we can. we can name a thousand politicians who've done the same and continue to have careers. nothing that he did. and i don't want to use the quote again and again, but it was unwise. but it wasn't illegal. essentially. i think he should. i think he was right to get fired or to lose his job, step down, whatever it was from itv because he broke their rules. he didn't break any laws. he just broke their rules. and so, absolutely, he's right to lose his job there. but he can still go and get jobs somewhere else. so that doesn't stop him from doing anything else. >> he abused his position as one of the most powerful people on that set, and in that production. yeah, you know what? why would you want why would i want my young son there or my young daughter working on a show where he is? i'll tell you this, adam. i'm comfortable with that. >> no, i wouldn't, of course you wouldn't. and neither would i. but that is the world of tv. i've worked in media, in news, the biggest national newspapers in this country, and abroad. relationships happen between seniors and juniors all the time. what phillip schofield did is nothing new. people are watching this up and down. >> the country will say, i mean, it is a bit new. i mean, he knew

the lad when he was very, very young and then but to according phillip and, and according to the lad hasn't come out and said anything contrary. >> so for the facts we have is whether you knew him when he was ten years old, 12 whatever it is, he didn't have a relationship with him until he was 19 years old. there is nothing legally wrong with that. i think it's ill advised for him to do that. and phillip also said that he'd had some kind of, relation with him in his dressing room at this morning. so for me, automatically, he should be fired. i personally would have got rid of phillip schofield and holly when they jumped the queue when the queen was lying in state. that for me was lying in state. that for me was when they should have gone. >> that was. >> that was. >> yeah, that was my red line. you've got a queue. >> that's your red line. >> that's your red line. >> what is the shame is that, you know, i used to love watching phillip schofield. is this ruined it for you? he reminded me. he he reminded me of my childhood. you know, going live. i used to sit there for hours watching that. gordon. the gophen hours watching that. gordon. the gopher. he reminds me of being young. yeah in the last few years, speaking to friends in the media. and then this story coming out, i found it quite disgusting . i can't even bear to disgusting. i can't even bear to look at the guy. i mean, i don't know who's going to watch this

program on a channel five. >> lots of people will watch it. i bet they'll get record numbers for this, this episode, because even people who don't like phillip schofield are going to watch it to like, see what pain is going through. >> so that that i think is true. i think that channel five will have a ratings winner here because it's a morbid curiosity. with phillip schofield being cast adrift for ten days. the question for me is really whether or not this should then lead to more work, right? so do we then see all of a sudden schofield on strictly apparently that he turned down the bbc three offers? i mean, with respect jj, i would imagine the last thing the bbc needs right now is schofield prowling the corridors. >> absolutely. i think this will be the start of something for him for certain, whether it's a tv series that he does , where he tv series that he does, where he looks at people who've been cancelled and made a comeback, of which there are several people who are who are locked away. andrew coulson, who went to jail. he has a very successful podcast. there's lots of people who've done things much worse, illegal things than schofield and have been able to go on and have careers. >> isn't it amazing how somehow these people manipulate the audiences to feel sorry for them? i mean, i don't they can't manipulate me to feel sorry for

him, but there are going to be people out there that feel sorry for him. even though he lied to his family , his agents, the his family, his agents, the nation. >> that's none of our business, is it? yeah, but okay, look, lying to your family, that's between him and his wife and his kids. that's not our judgement. and by the way, phillip schofield lied to me, too, because about 3 or 4 years ago, i'd sent emails to this morning and phillip's agents saying putting forward these claims about his sexuality and about the affair. and i was told basically by my, my then bosses have been contacted and said, you will not have any contact with any celebrities across that brand if you pursue this story. and that was the same across for lots of different journalists. >> does that not cast serious doubt on so. so basically they've given him channel five. i mean this is an absolute blight. i don't know who his agentisif blight. i don't know who his agent is if he's got an agent, because i know that they they distanced themselves from him initially, but this is an absolute blinder for schofield because they've just given him the opportunity to go , here's an the opportunity to go, here's an island off madagascar and a camera on you for ten days to say whatever you like. but when you factor in those lies and the deception, whether it was to his

own wife, whether it was to everyone else, whether it was to you, whether it was me, does it not cast serious doubt over whether or not he tells a single true word when he's on his own on an island? >> i won't believe a word he says again. i'll tell you, i will not watch it because i cannot bear to look at the man. >> if anyone feels that strongly about phillip schofield now making a tv comeback, i would suggest you shouldn't be watching itv this morning ehhen watching itv this morning either, because those bosses went on, went on the record as saying we knew nothing about it. everyone knew about it. i didn't work at itv, i knew about it. so how did i know about it? but the bosses didn't. it's bs and you've got eamonn holmes on this channel. he says the same. everyone knew about it. it was an open secret. so and those people who knew about it and allowed them, allowed it to continue have not been fired. >> let's ask why someone like phillip schofield has got so much power over our media. why? why do we give just so much just in the place he works, just in the place he worked so much control to men like this because he's the big star, same as patrick christys. >> if i go, if i go, if i go and tell the bosses what he's been saying to me off camera, i do not come on the show .

not come on the show. >> i do not want to be put in the same bracket as phillip schofield for a variety of different reasons. but anyway, look guys , look. thank you. it's look guys, look. thank you. it's a proper head to head. we'd love to see you and i'll see you both again very, very soon. i'll see you especially very soon. in about 20 minutes. coming up. keir starmer is tonight battling a political crisis after the labour party members voted against the cuts to winter fuel payments. we're also going to go live to new york, where our political editor, christopher hope, has spent the day with the prime minister, and i'm reliably informed that he's on a boat near the statue of liberty. so let's see what happens there. but first, keir starmer has finally admitted what we all know to be true. people with concerns about immigration aren't far right. but that does come just a day after his home secretary, yvette cooper, sparked outrage with comments like this. >> so the tories, with their mates in reform, are just becoming right wing wreckers. >> all right, we'll reform uk mp lee anderson. he's on next. he's got harsh words i think, for

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now speaking to gb news political editor christopher hope during his trip to new york for the united nations general assembly, sir keir starmer has admitted that people who are worried about immigration are absolutely not far right. >> do you understand? people have legitimate concerns about immigration?! have legitimate concerns about immigration? i think people are genuinely concerned about immigration, aren't and should not be. >> people are worried on the far right, are they? they're not worried. they're not far right

individuals. if they were about immigration. >> no. absolutely not. many, many people across the country are concerned about immigration, but they wouldn't for a minute go on to the street and throw a brick at a police officer. and i think it is wrong to pretend or that they are one and the same. >> yeah, i think he squirmed a bit there, to be honest with you. but that comes after home secretary yvette cooper yesterday stuck the boot into nigel farage's reform party and the tories over the response to last month's riots. i've been shocked by the response from some of those in political parties on the right who once claimed to care about law and order after rioters attacked the police. >> they should have given full throated backing to our brave officers. instead, too often we have seen them undermine the integrity and authority of the police. the tories, with their mates in reform , are just mates in reform, are just becoming right wing wreckers. >> well, i'm joined now by the reform uk mp for ashfield. it's

lee anderson. lee, thank you very, very much. what are your comments to the home secretary, yvette cooper, who says the right wing wreckers. >> well listen patrick, she says it's important that we must back our police. i've not seen anybody in the labour party, including yvette cooper, backing those brave police officers who had that bit of a problem at manchester airport 6 or 7 weeks ago. i think it's a little bit rich coming from her. look, she's shown already, patrick, in the short time she's been home secretary and, you know, since july that she's completely out of her depth. and if she thinks that, you know, attacking reform voters, you know, and calling them out at every single opportunity is far right racist. if she thinks that's going to win the 4.1 million reform voters back to the labour party, then she's completely out of touch. honestly, mate, i've just i'm gobsmacked at this new government . gobsmacked? government. gobsmacked? >> there appears to be a bit of a discrepancy here. so keir starmer has now finally come out

and said, well, not everyone with a legitimate concern about immigration is far right. do you think he really means that or do you think he would just call anyone far right at the drop of anyone far right at the drop of a hat if he had half the chance? >> to be honest with you, i don't think he knows what he's doing from one day to the next. you know, he's making gaffes all over the place. he's been an absolute disaster. he's probably the most unpopular prime minister in my lifetime. he's only been pm for about ten weeks. he's out of his depth, like the whole labour front bench. he doesn't know what he's saying. he doesn't know what he's doing. he's in a complete mess. i mean, look at the state of him. >> i mean, yeah, look, i mean, released the sausages was probably a personal highlight and i was quite annoyed. i was off yesterday , to be honest, off yesterday, to be honest, because i would have quite liked to have. i would have quite liked to have reacted to that. i couldn't quite make out exactly what he said at the time, but yeah, whatever it was. release, release the sausages. not a particularly good thing. but do you do you think, though, lee, that when he's saying things like, look, okay, i now understand, i now understand that everyone can have legitimate concerns about immigration and we need to have

a debate about that. then actually, he's moved a bit there that maybe he is now waking up actually, he's moved a bit there that maybe he is now waking up to the idea that people do to the idea that people do actually care about whether or actually care about whether or not their local area changes not their local area changes forever. forever. >> i think all you have to >> i think all you have to realise, patrick, is that sir realise, patrick, is that sir keir starmer was never intended keir starmer was never intended to be the prime minister of this to be the prime minister of this country. he was a stopgap for country. he was a stopgap for the labour party. he was the labour party. he was supposed to be a levelling supposed to be a levelling leader of the labour party, you leader of the labour party, you know, to rein the lefties in and know, to rein the lefties in and steady the ship. you know, we steady the ship. you know, we all know that it was a wes all know that it was a wes streeting. it was destined to streeting. it was destined to become labour leader, ready for become labour leader, ready for a strong campaign in 2029. so a strong campaign in 2029. so this is i feel a little bit this is i feel a little bit sorry for him, to be honest. sorry for him, to be honest. he's out of his depth. he he's out of his depth. he doesn't know what he's doing. doesn't know what he's doing. it's one scandal after another it's one scandal after another with the donations etc. with the donations etc. completely out of touch with the completely out of touch with the country. you know what? he needs country. you know what? he needs to go away somewhere and reflect to go away somewhere and reflect upon his behaviour since become upon his behaviour since become the prime minister. interesting. the prime minister. interesting. >> because, you know, i have >> because, you know, i have seen now several quite prominent seen now several quite left wing twitter accounts. well, look, why are we 82 days or something into this labour government now? and i am seeing

them come out there

>> because, you know, i have seen nowprisons. quite >> because, you know, i have seen nowprisons asjite >> because, you know, i have seen nowprisons as well. look, from our prisons as well. look, this is not an accident that's being reported. the justice secretary actually should resign over this. i mean, what about the victims and the victims family? patrick, who were sat there watching this tonight knowing that some of these criminals are roaming the streets that attack their loved ones. it's an absolute disgrace. and it just shows you what the labour party actually think about law and order in this country. it's shameful. >> but where are the other five of them? five of them have not yet been returned to jail. you know. what are they doing? are they in the costa del crime with their trotters up? i mean, seriously, what's going on? we don't know where they are. we don't know where they are. we don't know where they are. we don't know who they are. we don't know who they are. we don't know who they are. we don't know what crimes they've committed. we don't know if we can't find them. how on earth, how on earth could we promise their victims that they would be kept safe? these could be domestic abusers. they could be anyone. they could be out there right now prowling the streets, looking for the person that they wronged initially to go and get, you know, before they got put in jail. >> i'll tell you what, patrick, if you are a victim, a female victim of domestic abuse, and your abuser has been let out, this you'll be absolutely horrified. scared. you don't know where these men are, where

they're hiding, where they holed up. it's terrifying for the victims families, and i just. victims families, and ijust. i don't understand how you can make such a basic mistake. yeah, i can understand if they really have to release some prisoners , have to release some prisoners, which i don't agree with, by the way, but they have to be low risk people that's been abusing people, you know , attacking people, you know, attacking people. they should be locked up and not released. >> i mean, you think you do think the justice secretary should resign over this? really? he should resign. >> absolute resign. this is incompetence at the highest level. how can you release patrick? seriously? how can you release dangerous criminals onto our streets and. and, you know, not even inform the victims. it's unbelievable. >> did the tories not put her in this position? only by not having enough prison space. he's not building enough prisons. i know you're not a tory now, but you were for a while. >> they probably did, patrick. they. i mean, they've got to. i see you smirking there, young man. they probably did to, to some extent, but i don't think even the tories would, would have, would have made this big a mistake if you're going to release prisoners, if you really, really have to at least

put the checks in place, do your homework, make sure you know where they are or know where they are so that if you need to recall them, you know this. >> this is it. oh yeah. recall them, you know this. >> this is it. oh yeah . yeah, >> this is it. oh yeah. yeah, yeah. all put a curfew. i know i mean it is it is an absolute shocker. and it's just every single day something like this seems to happen. thank you very much. lee anderson there, who's a reform uk mp for ashfield right now. then coming up, do you remember this getting jabbed wearing masks and working from home. >> if we can really will help prevent infections and help prevent infections and help prevent the nhs being overwhelmed. >> working from home if we can. well, it's emerged today that keir starmer filmed that christmas message from lord ali's penthouse apartment in december 2021, when covid rules apparently stipulated that everyone was meant to work from home. oh, and he's also claimed that he accepted £20,000 worth of accommodation so that his son could study peacefully for his gcses. was it just me, or does

it make me feel like starmer is being economical with the truth? there's a heck of a lot to go out there. i will tackle that at 10:00 pm. but first, starmer is also battling another political crisis after labour party members voted against his cut to winter fuel payments at the party's conference today. i'm going to take you live to new york, where our political edhon york, where our political editor, christopher hope, has spent the day with the prime minister. he's got the inside track on that. and then at 1020 as well, i'm going to talk to a lady who is quite literally worried that she might die

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now there's massive trouble brewing for sir keir starmer after labour party delegates earlier today voted to reverse the proposed cuts to the winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. now the vote was brought by the unite union and the communication workers union, who made their feelings pretty clear on the

conference hall floor. winter fuel save the winter fuel. >> save the winter fuel . >> save the winter fuel. >> save the winter fuel. >> save the winter. >> save the winter. >> there we go. but in an interview with gb news political editor christopher hope, starmer refused to back down. >> your conference in liverpool while we're here has voted against the winter fuel payment cut. so the policy is wrong, isn't it? why are you doing it? >> well, look, i understand why colleagues in the labour movement feel very strongly about this. conference policy doesn't make government policy. and we've had to take a difficult decision because you'll defy them. >> you'll defy the vote. >> you'll defy the vote. >> well, last government left a £22 billion black hole unaccounted for off the books. we've got to deal with that. that means tough decisions . that means tough decisions. >> well, there we go. it certainly is very, very tough decisions indeed. and like i was saying to you, at 10:20, i'm going to be speaking to a lady who is massively struggling this winter. in fact, she's very, very concerned that she could actually die in her sleep because the sleep apnoea mask that she needs to have plugged in, while she probably can't afford to do that every single night. i'm joined now by gb news

political editor christopher hope, who is in new york. what a shot this is. who is in new york? he's been there with the prime minister christopher, thank you very, very much. i mean, look at that. i'm jealous. i'm very jealous. but anyway , i'm very jealous. but anyway, winter, winter fuel payments. he's got himself into a bit of a pickle here, hasn't he ? pickle here, hasn't he? >> he really has. patrick. yeah. welcome to new york city. we thought we'd give you a proper view, patrick, from this ferry. we're on the way out to staten island, going underneath the brooklyn bridge shortly. but yeah, dear old keir starmer, he's in a right mess here. he's at war with his own party. he's now, as i said in that question, the policy is wrong, isn't it? because your party has now voted against it. and given the policy of removing the winter fuel payment from 10 million pensioners and pensioners, including one who will speak to you shortly on your programme, was not in manifesto, was not voted on by anybody. it's the first actual vote we've had on that policy and guess what? it's been voted down by the by the labour conference. so a difficult time for him . he's difficult time for him. he's here though by the way, on the world stage he's meeting with,

zelenskyy, the ukrainian leader . zelenskyy, the ukrainian leader. he's been trying to press the case for, you know , support for case for, you know, support for ukraine against russia as it fights that war. but also you're seeing issues there in lebanon, where the uk is leading an airlift or will be shortly helping getting people out of ukraine with warships and region, and out of lebanon. forgive me, because of the increasing battle there with hezbollah fighters and israeli troops. so he's trying to be the global statesman. tomorrow he speaks to the un, un general assembly. he meets business leaders in the morning to encourage more, more investment in the uk. but at home it's very, very tricky. as ever, politics comes at you very quickly nowadays and it's tricky for him, isn't it, because he's obviously copping it from the right when it comes to the winter fuel payments, but he's also copping it quite significantly from the left, from the trade unions as well, who brought this vote at conference today. >> there were boos in the conference hall when rachel reeves mentioned that they had to do it. and i just don't think, christopher, that the

pubuc think, christopher, that the public at large necessarily buys this idea of this £22 billion black hole being responsible for elderly people potentially freezing to death this winter. and i wonder if he gets that down to 21. >> yeah. so i'm sure he does because his party commissioned research didn't it in 2017 when it was looked at by the tory party and it found several thousand old people would freeze to death this winter because anyone who has who knows someone elderly knows they have to keep warm. they have the heat on a lot, don't they? when they when they have it, and even when it's quite warm outside, they know they've got to keep warm. and that's why you may see deaths. he can't really go there. in fact, the work we've seen so far from the treasury on the impact of this policy does not talk about the anyone who might die. it talks about who might who might have the benefit withdrawn from them. so we'll see that emerge in coming months. but it's a real risk here. and the timing was awkward. it came out

in july, before the state pension went up in september. it wasn't really explained on the it was announced on the same day they put money into the pockets of public sector workers. so i think it's a difficult policy, and i wonder whether patrick, it might be their version of the liberal democrats . tuition fees liberal democrats. tuition fees increase where the party never really recovered from that. i think it's a long road back from this for keir starmer. and he's, of course, assailed by the row over freebies. i mean, the latest one tonight is saying that he gave statements out from the at the time of the of the covid pandemic, when people were encouraged to work from home but didn't have, didn't have to work from home. he apparently he was in wahid ali's apartment with with christmas cards behind his desk. it's all it's all difficult to explain and it looks awkward for him. >> it does. it looks awkward. it looks awful. and actually, christopher, we're going to be talking about that next. christopher. thank you very, very much. that is our political edhon very much. that is our political editor. our wonderful political edhon editor. our wonderful political editor, christopher hope. i mean, what a shock that is. you

you take care. don't fall in. that's all i'll say. but anyway, thank you very much. now coming up.thank thank you very much. now coming up. thank you very much for your generosity, because my fundraiser for friends of the elderly has now reached more than £180,000. and actually there's another £38,000 worth of gift aid there. so when you add that up , we are basically at 225 that up, we are basically at 225 grand, which is unbelievable. i'm going to be joined shortly by a pensioner who worries, you know, very regrettably, that she will die in her sleep this winter because of the winter fuel cut. and it's stories like hers that make your donations all the more important if you can. and i don't want you to put yourselves in personal difficulty here, but if you can, please go to justgiving.com forward slash page forward slash , forward slash page forward slash, save our seniors. that's justgiving.com forward slash page forward slash save our seniors. there's even a barcode on your screen there. that money is going to friends of the elderly. they give grants and other things to elderly people who have fallen on hard times or are struggling to make ends meet. and like i said, i'm going

to be bringing you a story a little bit later on in this show that i think really hammers that point home. the target ultimately, is £260,000. i think we'll do that . so thank you very we'll do that. so thank you very much everybody. but next. yes. well starmer has claimed that he accepted 20 grand of accommodation so that his son could study peacefully for his gcses. i'm going to have a close look at this. is that a lie? i'm going to be tackling that with my panel next. the other aspect of this is remarkably, did he break covid lockdown rules? what's going on as well? can we trust a word that this man says every single day? there appears to be another scandal and today is no different. so should . is no different. so should. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> good evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office on gb news. it's going to turn dry for most overnight tonight. it's been a much drier day across england

compared to monday and the weekend, but there is more rain to come across the south tomorrow as this weather system starts to approach. it was this low that brought the heavy rain over the previous 48 hours that has been clearing away, but we're still seeing quite wet conditions over northeast scotland today. we've also had this northerly wind, which is introducing cooler air across much of the country overnight tonight. but the showers are tending to fade. we will see a few more across southern england and south wales. it will stay quite mild here, double digits, but elsewhere, with that cooler air coming in, we're into single figures and some pockets of frost, likely across parts of scotland. first thing tomorrow morning we'll still have a few showers coming in first thing as well. getting into northern scotland, but these central parts of scotland, that blue hue on the map that is telling us yes, temperatures are going to be to down freezing or a touch below through some sheltered glens. a bright start though, for much of southern scotland and northern ireland. some sunshine tomorrow. just 1 or 2 showers along the north coast, perhaps a few showers over northern england, but a good part of northern england. north wales actually having a fine day

tomorrow. quite grey to begin with. across southern counties of england and wales. and here comes the rain, just edging back in initially across south—west england, south wales but spreading more widely over southern england and up towards the midlands. come the afternoon. as i mentioned, much of northern england, northern ireland, a good chunk of scotland actually just dry and bright tomorrow with some decent spells of sunshine, but it will be on the cool side. temperatures struggling into the low, teens a little milder. further south, but not feeling all that mild with the wind and the outbreaks of rain which will push north on thursday and could cause some further issues. as this line of rain kind of grinds to a halt. so we do have a met office yellow warning in place over much of north—east england, parts of southern scotland, northern ireland and north wales, also seeing a wet day. but in the south, turning a little milder and a little brighter on thursday. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather

ready britain. here we go. has keir starmer liecovid.jt his was his own during covid. >> plus, you'll save the winter fuel, save the winter fuel , save fuel, save the winter fuel, save the winter. >> i speak to one pensioner who worries that she will die in her sleep this winter because of starmer's winter fuel cut , and i starmer's winter fuel cut, and i say to the russian representative on his phone as i

n speak that i stand here also as weather i stand here also as speak that i stand here also as a black man whose ancestors were a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from africa at taken in chains from africa at the barrel of a gun to be the barrel of a gun to be enslaved. you wouldn't know it, enslaved. you wouldn't know it, but that was david lammy there, but that was david lammy there, making the un speech all about making the un speech all about ukraine, about himself, and in ukraine, about himself, and in the process really embarrassing the process really embarrassing himself. stay tuned for himself. stay tuned for tomorrow's newspaper front tomorrow's newspaper front pages, because they have been pages, because they have been box office recently, and for box office recently, and for that i will have my panel that i will have my panel director of popular director of popular conservatives mark littlewood, conservatives mark littlewood, landlord and activist adam landlord and activist adam brooks, and journalist and brooks, and journalist and broadcaster nina myskow. oh, and broadcaster nina myskow. oh, and what politicians are busting a what politicians are busting a move here. pavel stroilov . get move here. pavel stroilov . get move here. pavel stroilov. get ready britain. here we go . move here. pavel stroilov. get ready britain. here we go . ready britain. here we go. has keir starmer lied about his ready britain. here we go. has keir starmer lied about his

living arrangements and been caught breaking covid rules? next . next. >> good evening. i'm mark whyte at the gb news centre. the main headunes. at the gb news centre. the main headlines . dozens of prisoners headlines. dozens of prisoners allowed out of jail under the government's emergency release programme were freed by mistake. the ministry of justice has confirmed that 37 people were released mistakenly on the 10th of september because their offences were wrongly logged. this meant these cases slipped through the safeguards, which are there to ensure those convicted of certain types of crime would not be released. most of those freed by mistake have now been returned to custody, but five prisoners are still at large. the prime minister has told gb news there

of another intense day of cross—border fighting between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. hundreds of rockets and missiles have been fired by the terror group , while the israeli group, while the israeli military has confirmed it struck more than 2000 targets in lebanon over the past three days. the prime minister is at the centre of a fresh controversy over a decision to accept several weeks accommodation at a luxury property in london. the accommodation was made available by labour donor lord alli. the stay has been valued at around £20,000. sir keir defended his decision to accept the offer. he said his son needed somewhere quiet to revise for his gcses after the press surrounded the family home during the election campaign . and finally, it's campaign. and finally, it's arise . sir alan bates, the arise. sir alan bates, the leading campaigner for subpostmasters during the honzon subpostmasters during the horizon scandal, received his

knighthood from princess anne at windsor castle. the 70 year old fought a long battle after he and more than 700 others subpostmasters fell victim to a faulty it system, which wrongly accused them of stealing from their post office branches . and their post office branches. and those are your headlines for the moment. >> now back to patrick for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone , sign up to news your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> the question is this is sir keir starmer our prime minister a liar? there appears to be something very murky about his use of lord alli £18 million penthouse. today. it's alleged that keir starmer used that penthouse to record a video

dunng penthouse to record a video during the covid pandemic. there he is with that family picture. you can see it in the background there just before behind him. well it seems that that video was actually shot in lord ali's penthouse. so here is a little snippet of that video getting jabbed , wearing masks and jabbed, wearing masks and working from home. >> if we can really will help prevent infections and help prevent infections and help prevent the nhs being overwhelmed . overwhelmed. >> well, why wasn't he working from home then? unless, of course, he was. was keir starmer living at lord ali's house dunng living at lord ali's house during the pandemic? is that why there are family photographs there are family photographs there or are they just a prop to make it seem like that is his home? i mean, there are two serious questions for sir keir here, aren't there? there appears to be no record on the register of financial interests when it comes to using lord ali's penthouse on or around the 13th of december, when that video was released. should he have declared that? the second issue is did he break covid rules? five days before that video was released, the

government announced that england would be put under plan b rules . england would be put under plan b rules. now, england would be put under plan b rules . now, that england would be put under plan b rules. now, that means that everyone who could was meant to work from home. does that include working from someone else's home? either way, lord ali has a massive roof terrace, and that must have been really lovely for the labour leader at that time. but there's more today because sir keir was asked about why he stayed at lord ali's penthouse during the summer . now ali's penthouse during the summer. now he is blaming his child's gcses. >> well, all that happened is i wanted somewhere safe and quiet for my son to do his gcse preparation. i needed it to be secure because of the situation we were in. simply somebody saying if you want somewhere quiet for your son to study whilst you're doing your duty, you can use this place here, but the dates don't add up. >> the dates of his luxury £20,000 434 stay are the 29th of may, 2024 to the 13th of july

2024. okay, so the first gcse exam was on may the 9th and the final one was on june. the 19th. so his son will have started his exams before. they say they moved in there and finished them nearly a month before. they say they moved out. all right. so this has led many people to wonder whether or not our prime minister is lying about this , minister is lying about this, and he's getting very chippy about it, too. >> look, every day. do you get it, though? >> every day i get how it looks. >> every day i get how it looks. >> if you're putting to me, beth, that i should have stayed in my kentish town home and disrupted my son's gcses, that that was the right thing to do, then i think you should put that to me. >> i'll put it to you. i think that's absolutely right. have you heard of a library? because apparently there's one just down the road from where we live. but anyway, there's more because keir starmer has hiked private school fees by 20%. well, that means that tens of thousands of pupils had their education and actually their lives turned upside down. but for keir starmer's own son, he could get

a multi—millionaire to give him an £18 million penthouse to revise him. the hypocrisy there is absolutely staggering. but what's more, you just get the sense, don't you, that there might be much more about to come out. right. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. we are joined as ever, by the director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood. we've got landlord and activist adam brooks and journalist and broadcaster nina myskow. so, i'll start with you on this, mark. i mean, it's also emerged tonight, apparently, that he recorded the queen's, what would you call it? goodbye video. i think on the day she died. at there at lord anneliese place as well. lots of questions to answer here. >> huge number of questions to answer . last >> huge number of questions to answer. last week on this show, patrick we were talking about is arsenal tickets and his clothing. and he didn't shut the story down at all. i think this is now moved from embarrassing for the prime minister to very serious indeed. there's two ways

that you can deal with these problems arising . you either problems arising. you either come out, put everything on the table and you say, well, i might have got this bit wrong, but the whole story is here. every last receipt he needs to sit down with chris hope, go through it in an hour in great detail. it might be rather painful, but you get it all out. or you say nothing. you basically just say, look, i've abided by the rules. there's nothing to see here. and unless investigative journalists can find something that's clearly broken the rules, you just ride it out. he has taken the most disastrous middle road position here of drip, drip, drip and then a particular explanation for each little part of it. and that is catastrophic, i think, in terms of the management of the story. and as you say, the dates don't add up here. no that's what's really cunous here. no that's what's really curious about it. if this is really about his son revising. i mean, even then, as you just pointed out in your intro, patrick, it's a bit odd, isn't it, that £20,000 to help keir starmer's son revise is a party political donation for people considerably poorer than the

starmer family, trying to get £20,000 together to educate their children is now going to be subjected to a tax. all of this looks terrible and he's got to get this out of control now , to get this out of control now, having where he's got to where he is now, i think he needs to put every receipt on the table and explain it all in public. >> if it turns out that he breached lockdown rules, and we have, by the way, and i should stress this, we have put all of this to the labour party at the time that i'm saying this right now, they haven't come back to us. okay. but if it turns out that he broke covid guidance in order to deliver a message from what i mean, what he may look like his own house, he put the family pictures up behind him, didn't he? does he have to resign? >> yes, he does. after what they that the attack lines that they went after boris for he would have to resign. i mean, this is a man that promised change, yet i think we're 12 weeks on from an election. we find out that he's the most gifted mp since 2019. all these labour mps are

using their kids as excuses for having these freebies given to them. by lord alli i mean, do they pay for anything themselves, this this whole revision lie and it is a lie. i'm going to call the prime minister a liar. this is a lie to stay there. then a month after. >> you don't know that it's a lie. it is a lie. you don't know that. >> it doesn't account for the last month. >> it doesn't account . but let >> it doesn't account. but let me just finish. i've put my kids through private school. i work three jobs. i now feel like a failure because i've just taken one of my kids out, and i'm in the process of taking the other two out over the next few months. that to look my kids in the eye and feel like a failure is a terrible thing. and when i see the hypocrisy of these mps and keir starmer to get this free money, 20,000 for a, you know, a revision, well, that's it doesn't add up. >> so that's, that's what the cost. so that's, that's the

equivalent. so yeah i'll make one thing very firstly i will say is you're not a failure right. for a start. >> so no it makes you it makes you feel like a failure. and, and that's because of labour policy. okay. >> the other thing i will say is so the, the equated value apparently for the length of time he had that was in that property would have been about 20 grand. he was never handed 20 grand by lord alli. but okay, that's that's the that's the value. >> it's a kick in the teeth. >> it's a kick in the teeth. >> yeah. so nina. right. why why should keir starmer right now? let me just deal with it. is it not a lie? right. his son's gcse finished a month before they conceivably moved out of that property. he didn't need it for his son's revision, did he? >> you don't know that. he didn't need something . the point didn't need something. the point being, explain the last point. okay, let's just say let's look at the scenario. he's got two children who are teenagers . he's children who are teenagers. he's trying to protect them. we don't know what their names are. we don't know their ages. they are. we don't know what schools they go to. he's done that very well. but still, from the moment that the election started, the election campaign started, that the house that he and his wife

and the children live in will have been just under siege from cameras day and night. now, you look at that scenario and maybe the first exam had taken place and a situation had arisen in the family where where the kid is feeling under terrible stress and you can understand that. so where the source of many of this stuff comes from their mate ali, who is not a quid pro quo situation as far as i can see. >> sorry, just to get this very clear, do you understand why parents who at the moment are having to take their kids out of private school because of a policy that keir starmer introduced, will be looking at that and going, i wish i could call a multi—millionaire to give me. and by the way, what is a knockdown price? and i do, but but i think place there. >> i can tell you, my son, i'm almost sure that no money changed hands. he. no. but can you just. can i just finish this? he is looking after his own child or. i put it that way. let's let's see it from this point of view and see. so he he moves them. the family, he can

and other people because he can. because he couldn't. so he did. and so then after that, you could say the month after, why would you, why would you disrupt this, these children's life again and then go back ? no, again and then go back? no, wait, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. you have to be you have to see this. in effect, when you look at the amount, when you when you look at the when you look at the, the money that that we're talking, it's not the money's changed hands. no no no no no. it's the imputed rent of that property. wait, let me just finish this. what keir starmer has taken. no, no. but what keir starmer and has been transparent. no. can i just transparent. no. can ijust finish this. >> no, you can't finish it. he's spoken for a very long time. >> here is as long as these two. >> here is as long as these two. >> but here is the here is the problem. the explanation given was that this was for his son to revise gcses. now i have some sympathy that the son of the prime minister potentially requires more special treatment than the son of an average person at school. you can understand that. i accept that, but i do not understand any explanation for the next month. and this is the problem with the

prime minister, that the truth seems to be pulled out of him like it's painful. dentistry he will now be transparent than anybody was the last month about the cost of the exams. >> why did you make family pictures? may i make? may i make a lord alli house and make a suggestion a minute? >> you can. yeah. he's gone around to lord ali's house. right. and he's gone. all right. okay. what we need to do now, we've got to get these family pictures up on the background here. make it work from home. if you can stay at home, get the jab. don't kill granny. all right. where are you? are you in an £18 million penthouse with a roof terrace? >> hang on, hang on, hang on. let's let's let's let's deal with that. last month, you have taken this child out of the situation. that's that's frantic. you've then got to move him into downing street. why and where are you going to put him in the meantime? so you. >> that was his explanation. >> that was his explanation. >> rent your own home. >> rent your own home. >> he's just paid off his mortgage. >> he's not short of a no no, no, no. but i'm saying under siege from the press the whole time. surely you want to protect patrick. may i just also say

that the amount of money that keir starmer took in since 2019 is less than boris johnson spent on the redecoration of downing street public building ? street public building? >> let me just say this, keir starmer. >> why did he need to? >> why did he need to? >> keir starmer is a man that he's so forensic and so truthful that he forgot to declare that he owns seven acres of surrey for eight years to the parliament now , i'm sorry this parliament now, i'm sorry this man by that for his mum. >> this is the other thing. >> this is the other thing. >> this is the other thing. >> this man is dishonest. yeah. go on, go on. this man is dishonest in my view. and i do not believe a word that keir starmer says he's meant to be for the working man and woman. but again, he just keeps showing that he is part of the metropolitan elite. they think they are above us and they treat us with contempt. >> i'm sorry nina, there are very few things in life more metropolitan elite than leaving your house in kentish town to go and live in covent garden at the expense of a multi—millionaire who's got an £18 million penthouse, which he's not living

in because he might be at his mansion in kent, all over the place. >> i assume i first world problem. >> we're all in it together, lads. we're all in it together. >> you have to worry. you have to assume that that that ali is. he's a friend of his. no. that's fine. so that's fine. go and live in a mate. >> if he doesn't know. that's not really the point. the point is, it's fine. i don't have a problem with rich benefactors supporting political causes . supporting political causes. indeed. i think it is worthy. what i do want is completely honest and explanation from the prime minister. and this gcse revision thing doesn't stack up now. maybe you're right . maybe now. maybe you're right. maybe it was. actually, we then needed another month because, you know, we couldn't move back to lovely. yeah, i don't know what the explanation is, but the explanation is, but the explanation provided by the prime minister does not stack up.and prime minister does not stack up. and it's the covid. and i want a full explanation. lord alli is my friend. he generously put this penthouse at my family's disposal. >> what's wrong with that? what is wrong with that? >> that's not what he said. >> that's not what he said. >> that's not what he said.

>> that's the problem . this is >> that's the problem. this is the problem. >> he could say a whole load of things. that would be fine. he's not saying those things. >> are you saying that no prime minister has ever taken a freebie in the past? well, he might have done. yeah, but what about david? what about david cameron? what? michael gove, michael gove going to the opera. you need to be honest about these. a quid pro quo. he is honest about it . honest about it. >> how's the last month explained. you've explained it. maybe you're right. the prime minister has not explained it. >> on ten transparent about it. we wouldn't know. all right . we wouldn't know. all right. >> well, well, hang on a minute, because actually it was he was not transparent. it was only when people went back through the track record when they realised what lord alli flat looked like inside, that they thought, hang on a minute, are there any videos of him sitting in there? and it turned out that there were and there was one of them during covid when he was telling everyone to work from home. >> i want to know what lord alli is getting for all this, because not only it's not quid pro quo, please, just because he's got a free pass to number 10, he's sitting in meetings. what else is lord alli getting? he is not free. >> free pass was revoked. >> free pass was revoked. >> it should never have been

issued. >> look, there's a lot of questions. there are a lot of questions. there are a lot of questions. and now no doubt keir starmer and the labour party, lord waheed alli would deny any wrongdoing whatsoever. coming up, i'll have the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages with my panel and next, thanks to your generosity, the fundraiser for friends of the fundraiser for friends of the elderly has reached more than £180,000. 60 the elderly has reached more than £180,000. go to justgiving.com. forward slash page forward slash. save our seniors. if you've got a few quid, throw it that way because it's for friends of the elderly. they give grants to elderly people who are struggling to make ends meet, and i'm joined by a pensioner very shortly who is very, very worried, amongst other things, by the way, that she will die in her sleep. this winter because of the winter fuel cut. and it's stories like hers that make your donations all the more important. stay

welcome back to patrick christys tonight . welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, thanks to welcome back to patrick christys tonight . now, thanks to you, my tonight. now, thanks to you, my fundraiser for friends of the elderly has hit just over well. in fact, i'll tell you exactly what it's hit now. £184,201, which is absolutely unbelievable. but i'm going to keep going and do everything that i keep going and do everything that! can keep going and do everything that i can to raise as much money as i can. next week, i'm going to be attempting a challenge. that challenge is to live off the budget of the lowest level of income that a pensioner can have for food, which is, by my reckoning, about £15. so i'm going to be trying

to live off £15 for a week on a food budget next week . you can food budget next week. you can see on the bottom of your screen there is a justgiving link. now it's just giving .com forward slash page, forward slash sandie vara seniors. there's a qr code, there's a little barcode thing on your screen there. if you hover your phone over that, something magic happens and it takes you to that page. but why am i doing this? well, you know the labour party's own research suggests that around 4000 pensioners could die this winter because the winter fuel payment is going to be taken away. but it's the stories behind the numbers that really matter, and that's why i am delighted to now be joined by maria fujio and maria, thank you very much. it's tremendous to see you. i know that we spoke on the phone a little bit yesterday and then and then today as well, and i'm really grateful for you coming on and talking about your issue , on and talking about your issue, because i know that it's not ideal for you, but when you spoke to me, you were telling me about how you were concerned , about how you were concerned, quite literally, about whether or not you might have an issue in your sleep because you use. am i right in saying some kind

of mask? and you might not be able to afford to put that on? could you? could you talk our viewers through that, please? >> i suffer with sleep apnoea and i stopped breathing 11 times and i stopped breathing 11 times an hour, so i have to wear a mask that pumps air into my lungs to keep me breathing , that lungs to keep me breathing, that obviously causes heart failure . obviously causes heart failure. strokes and death, >> and the problem is that you would have to keep that plugged in all night, would you? and if you lose the winter fuel allowance, you're worried that your your bills might be too high for you to do that. is that correct? >> well, correct. and heating, because i don't have any thyroid, so i can't monitor my body temperature. >> right . okay. but it's not >> right. okay. but it's not just that for you. is it as bad as that is it? you also are worried about what you're going to eat. is that right ? to eat. is that right? >> correct. >> correct. >> would you mind just talking us through that? a little bit?

because it's that's the amount of money that you're going to be down every single month could have an impact, couldn't it? >> well, i like to eat healthily because i have quite a number of health issues. you know, i look okay, but i do have lots of different health issues. so i like to eat as healthily as i can to help my health along the way. but it will mean that i will start to eat more rubbishy food, more convenience foods, that will put my weight on, which will put more pressure on to my organs and such like so it's not ideal. all i can see is it's not ideal. all i can see is it's robbing peter to pay paul. and there's going to be a lot of elderly people that actually end up in hospital over the winter because of this. >> exactly. now, maria, if it's all right, could you just give our viewers and our listeners a bit of context about what you've done for a living? all these years? i mean, you obviously now don't qualify for this, this winter fuel payment. and people

i mean, we hear it a lot, from some people going, oh , well, you some people going, oh, well, you know, all these pensioners, they're all millionaires, they've all got million pound houses and all of this stuff. what do you mind just telling our viewers and our listeners what you've done all your life and, and, you know, without you don't have to be overly specific, but what your financial situation is now, you know that you've that you've lost this money. >> okay. well, i originally started off as a special schools teacher and there was a glut of teachers, so you couldn't get a permanent job. so, i, i worked in a psychiatric hospital for a year as an ots aide, and then i got my temporary post as a teacher and eventually qualified as a teacher , but couldn't be as a teacher, but couldn't be interviewed for the job that i was doing because that was the nut ruling, i then went into day care for physically handicapped adults and trained as a social worker . unfortunately, i didn't worker. unfortunately, i didn't have a very good marriage and,

the stress of that, made my health deteriorate quite badly. and i ended up with me and functional neuropathy dysfunction and was pensioned off. but i did go back as a teaching assistant and work in nurseries and such like. but because of my divorces, my husband's took my collateral . husband's took my collateral. >> yeah. and you find yourself in a situation now where another aspect is that which is completely understandable. i believe that, you know, you, you could do with a little bit of help around the house when it comes to just keep keeping things in order. and that obviously costs money, doesn't it. is that something that might have to go now as well ? have to go now as well? >> well, of course, you know, you have to cut your cloth according to what you've got

and, so that will be, that will go . go. >> i mean, there's a few different issues at play here. you know, there's whether or not you can now afford to put a sleep apnoea mask on in the night where you stop breathing 11 times an hour, right. there's food. what are you going to be able to eat? and there's also just the conditions that you live in. but just finally , live in. but just finally, maria, i think that the biggest thing possibly is actually what this must be doing to you mentally. and how did you feel when you found out that you were going to lose this this winter fuel payment? what's it been like for you as winter approaches? awful awful, because ihave approaches? awful awful, because i have had to think what i can wear as well, because i've only been able to put the heating on for a couple of hours a day . for a couple of hours a day. >> that also then impacts on mould and mildew in the house, so, you know , if you own your

so, you know, if you own your own property, you're in a worse situation. and i'm just tipped overin situation. and i'm just tipped over in to pay the tax . over in to pay the tax. >> exactly. no. it's ridiculous. well maria, can i just say a massive thank you to you for coming on the show, and, and i know that when we spoke on the phone , i did kind of point you phone, i did kind of point you in the direction of friends of the elderly. i would just emphasise that again. and we can we can have a chat again in the next day or two. and i would just urge everyone to go to justgiving.com/page, forward slash, save our seniors because all of that money raised will go to friends of the elderly who can offer people grants. they can offer people grants. they can offer people things like white goods around the house, take them to and from appointments, etc. and maria, just thank you very, very much and i want to stay in touch with you over the course of over the course of the winter and, and maybe beyond as well. who knows. all right. you take care, maria. all right. you take care, maria. all oh bless it. all right. she's gone. but look , thank you she's gone. but look, thank you very much to everybody who's donated. just giving.com/page/save our seniors. now, i also would like to hear from you directly from

you. if you are going to be struggling with the winter fuel payments this winter. and i would like you to go to gb views gb news .uk. so this is not your say this is not the online your say this is not the online your say thing. this is the old school original email that we used to use here @gbnews. so it's gb views gb news .uk and put the word pensioner in the subject line. and i will see that email. okay. so put the word pensioner in the subject line and just tell me your story and tell me whether you're struggling, what's going on there. and then i can hopefully try and get in touch with you and we can see if we can get something sorted for you. just one final time. just giving.com/paid for save our seniors. i think it is absolutely a stain really on this country at the moment that we have pensioners who could be freezing in their own homes and worrying at that stage of life. so thank you very much to everyone who's donated coming up at the very first of tomorrow's newspaper, front pages have landed. there are some corkers there. i'll be taking you through those. oh, and david

lammy has made it all about himself again. >> i say to the russian representative on his phone as i speak, that i stand here also as a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from africa at the barrel of a gun, to be enslaved. >> i he was sitting down at the time. it's

okay. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight, it's time to bnng christys. tonight, it's time to bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. okay, so we start with the daily telegraph. israeli boots ready to hit the ground in lebanon. so apparently a border force races to rescue thousands of britons ahead of what is believed to be an impending ground invasion by the israelis and labour plots income tax rise in wales despite election pledge. so there we go and graze . pledge. so there we go and graze. pay is no one else's business, says sir keir starmer. so an action packed front page from

the daily telegraph. we go to the daily telegraph. we go to the daily telegraph. we go to the daily express. it's a full on revolt over winter fuel cuts. sir keir starmer has now lost the support of his party, mps and paymasters. that's the express's front page. they also have a picture of maddie mccann there with maddie. suspect confessed to abducting girl in algarve. let's go to the guardian. israel warns of lebanon ground offensive as ceasefire calls grow. there's also a non—doms crackdown may raise no money. and they've got sir alan bates alan bates of the post office . campaigner has been post office. campaigner has been knighted. there we go. the eye uk tells netanyahu to step back from the brink as israel prepares for invasion. so there we go. there's lots of the impending what seems to be almost they're almost treating it as fact, aren't they, that israel are about to go into lebanon by the sounds of things? the daily mail, starmer, the £18 million penthouse and excuses that just don't add up. they've also got schofield's big tv comeback about to backfire. so there we go, right i am, as

even there we go, right i am, as ever, joined by my wonderful panel ever, joined by my wonderful panel. now this, israel issue allows me to to, bring in to play allows me to to, bring in to play a clip of david lammy , our play a clip of david lammy, our foreign secretary, who was earlier at the un, and he was giving a speech and this was this predominantly about ukraine at this moment in time. i'm going to play you a little clip of it. so david lammy somehow managed to crowbar his race into a speech that he gave at the un yesterday. he was addressing the russian representative and he suggested that his race gave him a unique insight into what russia is doing in ukraine. should we have a look? >> i say to the russian representative on his phone as i speak , that i stand here also as speak, that i stand here also as a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from africa at the barrel of a gun, to be enslaved, whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved. >> yeah, enough about ukraine. let's focus on me. i mean, is that not a bit ridiculous? mark, what do you think?

>> it's quite incredible, isn't it? look, obviously there's a time and a place to reflect upon how barbaric the slave trade was, but not at un meeting discussing russia and the ukraine situation. i would have thought the russians and the ukrainians and everybody else would be completely perplexed. this should be a tactical military arena in which the foreign secretary should be able to speak in detail and to talk about his ancestry and the colour of his skin , completely colour of his skin, completely inappropriate for the foreign secretary to behave like that on the on the international stage. embarrassing. >> oh, so you do . so do you. did >> oh, so you do. so do you. did you find that embarrassing? >> i found it completely embarrassing. i think the man is particularly a joke. he's already caused a diplomatic row in the 12 weeks that he's been here. everything is about skin colour with david lammy. you know, everything is victimhood and that it has nothing to do with ukraine, or the conflict . with ukraine, or the conflict. as you said, it's about me, me, me. let's, let's get all the i's on me. let's make this a race

issue , i mean, look, god help us issue, i mean, look, god help us with him on the on the foreign stage and i'm an atheist. you know, i am so worried. what this man can start or what trouble he can cause. >> well, you know, i. i don't see how you can't see the analogy he's talking about imperialism, talking about one nafion imperialism, talking about one nation enslaving another nation . nation enslaving another nation. what is russia trying to do? it's trying to engulf ukraine. >> he's talking about some 300. so it's not torture. >> yes, but but but then this is, you know , you're not black. is, you know, you're not black. so you don't know very how very real that is in your heritage. >> i identify as being black. how do you know? >> oh, for heaven's sake, don't joke about it. i mean, that's ridiculous. >> i will make the point, though. i mean, to be fair. >> look, i'm not ukrainian, but i can empathise. i can empathise with what's going on in ukraine. >> well, exactly. >> well, exactly. >> exactly that was the. was there any point? there is. >> there is a point in saying that what russia is doing is trying to engulf and take over and enslave ukrainians. >> it's no, there's no

comparison. >> there is a there is a comparison. >> the slave trade wasn't about invading a country and trying to take it over. putin's not trying to convert the ukrainians into slaves and send them around. >> he is trying to make them russian. he's trying to turn ukraine russian. he's trying to comparison to me. he's trying to increase the russian state. >> i mean, they're both bad things. you say. no, ukrainian. >> my father went to lvov university, and while that when he was there , it was part of he was there, it was part of poland. it is now then became russia. it's now ukraine. so i know all about that. don't you tell me about what russia can do and can't do with ukraine and that and enslaving people. >> i think people understand that. i think what people are maybe worked up about is the idea of whether or not david lammy needed to make that comparison, because of course he did. to me, it to me it screams of somebody who has spent quite a long time of their political career in opposition and making points about identity politics. this is exactly right. and now he's in a position of power where there is a war in ukraine, which is what he was supposed to be talking about. >> he was talking about the. >> he was talking about the. >> yeah, well, in a roundabout

way. and the potential for this lebanon issue, and he's fallen back on. look at me. i'm, i'm black. >> the thing is, people have noficed >> the thing is, people have noticed it. they have noticed highly. >> these are detailed and highly technical issues. now, the foreign secretary could go around pointing at things and saying, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad. and the slave trade was bad. but that's not exactly the height of international geopolitical diplomacy. >> let's remember britain ended the slave trade. we, you know, our country campaigned to stop that around the world. for him to bring this up at such an important meeting about ukraine, about the conflict, i think is embarrassing, and the rest of the world would have been just completely confused by what he was saying , rolling their eyes. was saying, rolling their eyes. >> well, i'd like to see headunes >> well, i'd like to see headlines around the world if there are people, but it will made people notice that make people think. because what is russia is trying to do is, is to expand the state back to where it was. >> and that's exactly what we should fight. it's nothing to do with the slave trade. >> it's imperialism talking about imperialism.

>> okay. all right. i mean , >> okay. all right. i mean, look, hey, there we go. i mean, thatis look, hey, there we go. i mean, that is that is something that a lot of people did point out earlier today and say, you know, was it, you know, with the plight of people in ukraine and with the plight of things that are going on, i just wondered whether to make it all about him was a little bit narcissistic. >> that was one paragraph in a much, much longer speech. okay and if it makes one narcissistic paragraph in a speech and, and if and if it makes people sit up and take notice, all the better. >> nobody's it has made. obviously, it has made headlines in a bad way. it has, well, there we go. talking of headlines. we'll have some more for you very, very shortly. so let's go. we'll have the rest of tomorrow's newspaper front pages hot off the press. oh, and can you tell me, please, what is going on here? about parm sandhu. archewell all in a few minutes. don't go

welcome back to patrick christys tonight, and it's time to return tonight, and it's time to return to the paper review. so let's round us off, shall we? we're starting this one with the metro labour's fuel vote snubbed to starmer party split. but pm refuses to apologise for times. so starmer has refused to apologise four times for the cut in the winter. fuel payments. and yet there was a there was a split in the party today at conference and i'll just round us off. i'll run you quickly through the mirror as well. mum of five dies after butt lift treatment. so very much a shift in tone here. two arrests over the first uk death linked to this. i think it's called. yes, it is a brazilian butt lift injection. so there we go . so injection. so there we go. so that's that's the thing. look, i will just start us off with this labour party potentially being split, all right? so there was a vote today and it was rebel unions of inflicting embarrassing defeat on sir keir starmer. his decision to axe universal winter fuel payments. how damaging is this mark that the union has lost the unions on

this. >> yeah, i mean he has lost his party and he didn't set out a particularly clear pathway here. so it was out of a clear blue sky wasn't it. this winter fuel allowance thing wasn't in the election manifesto. all being blamed on this mystical, rather confected, £22 billion black hole. it doesn't change government policy because the parliament and the government sets, sets, sets policy , but it sets, sets, sets policy, but it is damaging and he is now , i is damaging and he is now, i think, in a very difficult position as he is on so many things about whether he now u—turns or sticks to his guns. but the more pressure like this that's applied, the more likely he's going to have to use it. >> i don't know if he can. >> i don't know if he can. >> yeah, it's devil in the deep blue sea here, isn't it? >> look, the right thing to do is to u—turn. it's a disgrace. you know, the 2017 analysis said that 4000 pensioners could die if this is withdrawn. that was when prices for your heating at home were half what they are now. we could be seeing north of 5 or 6000 deaths because of this .

5 or 6000 deaths because of this. they've got to do the right thing. i don't care how bad it makes keir starmer look. even his labour members are revolting. even the unions that, you know, fund the labour party are going against this. he has to u—turn. >> okay. go on. does he have to u—turn? >> well, he's not going to actually because he will die because he needs he needs to maintain whatever power he has as a leader. so that needs to that needs to stay. he's absolutely not going to do that, nina. >> that's that's and look, thousands of people die. >> you're saying to me like you're that i want look, is that the right thing to do on on this, on these sofas? i'm the only one here. >> i'm asking you a question. thousands of people die. was it the right thing to do? >> no. obviously not. so he should u—turn he. but he is not going to. so he's a monster. really he's not a monster. he's. thousands of people die . no, thousands of people die. no, he's not a monster. may i, may i, may i just say of the people on the sofa, i am the only one here who is a pensioner who is due the winter payment and who

has had the winter payment and who is not going to get the winter payment this year. so i think i have a valid viewpoint. >> my mum's not my mum's opinion, so we've all got we've all got stories there. my mum could use her, lose her single benefit to now they've said that's not going to happen. >> they've said that's not going to happen. there's no point in scaremongering. not yet. you sit there and scaremongering the whole time. >> but scaremongering when we know thousands of pensioners are going to die. >> that's not necessarily know that. but their own analysis says that that will happen. so analysis from seven years ago, from seven years ago, things are different. >> what do you think the numbers are now? nina? >> i have no idea what i was going to say. why don't why don't they why don't they? it's because the cut off point for your pension is £12,570. why don't they just raise that by £200? >> well, well, yes, but this is the thing. yeah, there's a lot they could do at the moment. they're not being forthcoming with it. there is also this issue of the free school meals for kids. do you think? well,

hang on a minute. so what, millionaires kids would eat free. but pensioners anyway, right? look. >> well then millionaire pensioners are the same thing. millionaire pensioners i agree, i agree, but it's exactly the same thing. >> here's here's what i could do. they could wrap it into the state pension, the winter fuel allowance, wrap it into the state pension, and then it's effectively means tested because ficher effectively means tested because richer pensioners pay more tax. that's the way to get out of this. >> all right. now, it wouldn't be a labour conference if emily thornberry hadn't grabbed the headunes thornberry hadn't grabbed the headlines for her antics at the after party, and this year was no different. uptown funk, you up about that uptown funk you up . up about that uptown funk you up. yeah, well, there we go. so that was labour mp emily thornberry dancing or rather, maybe grinding is how you describe it. it's not. >> it's not even twerking. i mean, it's not even twerking. working on that skill. >> i think grinding is before twitter , i think twerking i twitter, i think twerking i mean, i don't think any physical contact was made there. >> i don't think anyone's accusing her of sexual assault. >> that's not that's not what i'm getting. >> let's be honest. that's something you can never unsee. >> look, it's a bit of fun, you

know? it's a bit of fun, i think. look, you can ease very easily. sell the optics of this, as you know, but you can say you can. i'm not here. and i don't think anyone who regularly watch or listen to this show will think that i, you know, are going going particularly soft on the government at the moment, but you could make the point whenever any politician does anything that involves them having a smile that how dare they smile whilst, you know. and so i don't think it's i don't think it's the end of the world, but there we go. right. okay. we've just about got time for today's greatest britain reunion, jackass. so mark, who's your greatest britain? >> my greatest britain. slightly quirky one for me. this isn't heroic, really, but it is interesting and wonderful. jackie leek, 58 year old grandmother from warrington all over the papers today because she has a three stone giant tortoise called mr miyagi that she takes walking on holiday with her big tourist attraction around town. the tortoise is likely to live to 120, so she set up a trust fund to look after it when she has died. wonderful woman and i've nominated her because at last a bit of english eccentric,

eccentric behaviour in starmer's bonng eccentric behaviour in starmer's boring britain. >> all right, go on then, adam. >> all right, go on then, adam. >> slow news day. yeah, right. so mine is actually labour members. i never thought i would say that. it's the labour members that voted against, the cut to the winter fuel allowance. they've been brave. they've stood up. and hopefully it will cause a u—turn. >> all right. okay. go on. nina. >> all right. okay. go on. nina. >> richard branson, today he's announced the setting up of a dyslexia course and a free to access with the open university to, help dyslexics and to allow them to be more creative and their divergence and to and to make the most of their of their talents and their differences. okay. because he's a very famous dyslexic. there are many, many dyslexic. >> so he is dyslexic. i was going to ask that. yeah, absolutely. >> very severely dyslexic. and the old days people used to call dyslexics thick. and that was the end of it. >> absolutely. absolutely. right. okay. i'm going to have to pick this live on air now. i'm going to go for, i'm going to go oh, for, this is a really

tough choice. >> the tortoise. >> the tortoise. >> oh come on, richard branson. >> oh come on, richard branson. >> you know what? i regret that richard branson, let's go for union jack. we're gonna have to be quite quick. sorry. >> andrew wood, who goes by the pronouns he, him and he is the civil servant who is the head of office for value for money in the government. they're recruiting more people. it's going to be like the office of tax simplification. more and more money is going to be wasted. he's going to need more and more bureaucrats a few seconds mine is keir starmer for the lies and the hypocrisy. >> all right. he will deny he's a liar okay nicola peltz beckham married to brooklyn beckham who has died. >> her two dogs pink which is absolutely an outrage . no absolutely an outrage. no respect for animals. >> do you think the other dogs in the park have a laugh at them? do you reckon when the dogs go out she's bullied? she's dyed you pink, mate, you know. anyway right. okay, i'm going to an goyway righ t. okay i , 'm goin g to anyway right. okay, i'm going to go for that. actually, that is dying dogs. pink i think is a is a is for want of a better phrase, a red line for me. so there we go. right. thank you very much everybody. it's been an absolute pleasure this evening i must say, headliners are up next for a more detailed look at all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages, i implore

and south wales. it will stay quite mild here, double digits, but elsewhere, with that cooler air coming in, we're into single figures and some pockets of frost, likely across parts of scotland. first thing tomorrow morning we'll still have a few showers coming in first thing as well. getting into northern scotland, but these central parts of scotland that blue hue on the map that is telling us yes, temperatures are going to be down to freezing or a touch below through some sheltered glens. a bright start though, for much of southern scotland and northern ireland. some sunshine tomorrow, just 1 or 2 showers along the north coast, perhaps a few showers over northern england, but a good part of northern england. north wales having a fine day tomorrow . wales having a fine day tomorrow. quite grey to begin with. across southern counties of england and wales. and here comes the rain, just edging back in initially across south—west england, south wales but spreading more widely over southern england and up towards the midlands. come the afternoon. as i mentioned, much of northern england, northern ireland, a good chunk of scotland actually just dry and bright tomorrow with some decent spells of sunshine, but it will be on the cool side.

temperatures struggling into the low, teens a little milder further south, but not feeling all that mild with the wind and the outbreaks of rain, which will push north on thursday and could cause some further issues as this line of rain kind of gnnds as this line of rain kind of grinds to a halt. so we do have a met office yellow warning in place over much of north—east england, parts of southern scotland , northern ireland and scotland, northern ireland and north wales, also seeing a wet day but in the south turning a little milder and a little brighter. on thursday. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather

gb news. >> hello there, i'm mark white, the latest headlines from the gb news centre. dozens of prisoners allowed out of jail under the government's emergency release program were freed by mistake. the ministry of justice has confirmed that 37 people were released mistakenly on the 10th of september, because their offences were wrongly logged. this meant these cases slipped through the safeguards , which through the safeguards, which are there to ensure those convicted of certain types of crime would not be released. most of those freed by mistake have now been returned to custody, but five prisoners are still at large . the prime still at large. the prime minister has told gb news there are legitimate concerns over migration levels. sir keir said he tended to agree that those

levels were too
