to leave a lady's toilet, saying he identifies as a woman . and he identifies as a woman. and the nhs seems to think we've got a hundred genders. i'll be outlining why this madness has got to stop before someone gets hurt . developing tonight, the hurt. developing tonight, the conservatives are expected to sensationally bring forward the result of their leadership contest in order to provide opposition to the budget in october. we may now be days away from a new tory leader, but who's good enough to take on starmer and farage.7 i'll be asking the former deputy chairman of the party in just a few minutes . my guest is few minutes. my guest is britain's foremost angela rayner impersonator. take a listen. >> are you its deputy prime minister? proud northerner and bafic minister? proud northerner and basic instinct enthusiast angela rayner. raynen >> well, in a mark dolan tonight exclusive, this very secretive comedian has broken the internet with her hilarious videos and she'll be live on the show before ten. you won't want to

miss it. and in an hour's time in my take at ten tv fraud phillip schofield makes a comeback after an inappropriate relationship with a far younger colleague. do these people know? no shame, phillip schofield gets the take at ten treatment and you won't want to miss it. such a busy show. mark dolan tonight is your perfect saturday night in, so get yourself a bottle of beer, open a bottle of wine, or just get that kettle on and tear open the custard creams. we've got so much to get through and we're going to do it in the company of my top pundits this evening, historian and broadcaster david oldroyd bolts journalist and communications advisor linda jubilee, and broadcaster and tv personality precious muir. now this show has

a golden rule we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it at 10:00. i'll be deaung won't have it at 10:00. i'll be dealing with phillip schofield. but next up, a dangerous ideology is making women unsafe. i'll be telling you how we stop it straight after the headlines and sophia wenzler. >> mark. thank you. good evening. i'm sophia wenzler with your headlines just after 9:00. david lammy has spoken to the lebanese prime minister following a series of israeli air strikes on beirut. in a post on x, the foreign secretary said they had agreed on the need for an immediate ceasefire to bring an immediate ceasefire to bring an end to the bloodshed. it comes after the terrorist group hezbollah confirmed their leader has been killed in an airstrike on southern lebanon. in a tweet, this morning, the idf say hassan nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorise the world, while us president joe biden says his death is a measure of justice for his many victims. the

lebanese health ministry is reporting that at least 11 people have now been killed, and 108 wounded in the attack on central beirut. soldiers and aid workers have been taking part in rescue operations, looking for survivors and victims in the rubble . now back in the uk, rubble. now back in the uk, rosie duffield has resigned as a labour mp. the times newspaper is reporting that she's blaming sir keir starmer's cruel and unnecessary policies, and the freebies row that is engulfing him and his party. in a resignation letter to the prime minister she criticised the decision to keep the two child benefit cap and means test the winter fuel payment and accused the prime minister of hypocrisy over his acceptance of free gifts from donors . in other gifts from donors. in other news, it's been revealed that bofis news, it's been revealed that boris johnson considered raiding a dutch warehouse over a vaccination row with the eu. at the time, the astrazeneca vaccine was at the heart of a cross—channel row, with the former prime minister claiming

the eu was slowing down the pace of the rollout in the uk. according to an extract from his memoir , mr johnson convened according to an extract from his memoir , mrjohnson convened a memoir, mrjohnson convened a meeting of senior military officials back in march 2021 to discuss the plans, which even he admitted were, quote, nuts . admitted were, quote, nuts. conservative party leader rishi sunak has arrived at the party's conference in birmingham ahead of the event officially opening tomorrow . he was seen of the event officially opening tomorrow. he was seen making his way in with his wife and they were greeted by interim party chairman richard fuller. tory leadership candidate kemi badenoch was also seen arriving shortly before , followed by shortly before, followed by james cleverly, robert jenrick and finally tom tugendhat . the and finally tom tugendhat. the king and queen have visited holyrood to mark the 25th anniversary of the scottish parliament being reconvened. the celebration showcased scottish music and culture and was attended by local heroes who've been nominated thanks to their contribution to local communities . and finally, three

communities. and finally, three people have been charged with criminal damage after soup was thrown at two van gogh paintings in the national gallery on friday. three just stop oil activists targeted the artwork just an hour after two other activists were jailed for a similar protest back in 2022. stephen simpson, philippa green and mary somerville will appear at westminster magistrates court on monday . those at westminster magistrates court on monday. those are at westminster magistrates court on monday . those are the latest on monday. those are the latest gb news headlines. now it's back to mark 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. >> thank you sophia. a very busy show. first of all, labour in crisis as rosie duffield, labour mp , renounces the labour whip. mp, renounces the labour whip. a big, big problem for keir starmer will react to that with the papers at 1030. plus, the

deputy, former deputy chairman of the conservative party on the fact that we'll have a new leader most likely a week early. so we'll get reaction to that also. phillip schofield gets the take at ten, treatment at 10:00. and do the bbc have a problem with reform uk? lots to get through, but we start with my big opinion . surely trans big opinion. surely trans madness has reached its peak, given that we are asked on a daily basis to discard and renounce the basic principles of human biology and science. the hellish and nonsensical mantra that men are women and that women are men is wearing thinner than elton john's hairline. so what's the crazy story that will finally end this insane ideology and wake everyone up? a male double rapist who identifies as female, imprisoned in a women's jail? well, that was isla bryson

real name. adam grant. amazingly, that story didn't end the madness. in fact, adam graham is now suing the prison authorities for misgendering him. slash her? you couldn't make it up. perhaps biological males smashing women in professional sport, breaking all records or even taking the top prize in female beauty contests will see an end to this mad stuff. or female boxers being obliterated in the ring as we saw at the olympics in paris this year. nope. the insanity prevails . in fact, the british prevails. in fact, the british legal and political establishment now suffused with wokery, seemingly to the point of no return, has been flirting with the idea of making misgendering someone illegal. that means that if you or i called someone with a penis, penis and testicles a man. that's right. if we called someone that's got a willy, a man, and they identified as a woman, we could go to jail so we

could go to jail for saying something, which is actually the case. but it goes on. just this week, a mustachioed man refused to leave a nightclub's female lavatory because, yes, you guessed it, he identifies as a woman. a young girl called connie shaw, who's just 20, was attending a club night for students at the warehouse in leeds on monday when she confronted the man in the women's toilet. she said that he refused to leave and told angry revellers i identify as a woman. a bouncer was then alerted to the situation and kicked the guy out, but this very brave young girl, connie shaw, told the telegraph the following. she said he said right away i identify as a woman because he knows and other men know that thatis knows and other men know that that is what will get them into women's spaces. this is progress, is it? the brilliant journalist charlotte gill revealed this week that the nhs

is asking patients what their sex was at birth. it's worrying, isn't it, that those responsible for our health don't seem to realise that our sex at birth is also what it is now? don't take my word for it. here is one of the world's leading experts on human reproduction , professor human reproduction, professor robert winston, speaking on the bbc question time show. >> i will say this categorically that you cannot change your sex, your sex, actually is there in every single cell in the body. you have a chromosomal sex, you have genetic sex, you have hormonal sex, you have all sorts of different kinds of psychological brain sex. they're all different. and we are very confused about this. unfortunately aren't we? >> indeed, poor professor winston will probably be burned at the stake for stating this biological fact. but facts don't matter anymore, as demonstrated by this story. a trans rapist sentenced to more than six years

in prison was referred to as she throughout the trial by a judge and barristers. lexi secker was convicted of rape after a four day trial at swindon crown court in june. the court heard that secker was living as a man when the attack took place in april of last year. throughout the sentencing hearing, barristers and the judge referred to the defendant. this is a racist, okay? rapist. this is a convicted rapist. they referred to this defendant as miss secker and she . but in a to this defendant as miss secker and she. but in a victim personal statement, the woman raped by secker used male pronouns and the name alex to describe the defendant. she said. he took away my trust in people and myself. the assault consumed me with shame and fear. well, i've got to tell you that all of this madness fills me with shame and fear. we are living in a parallel universe

where we've got to ignore the evidence of our own eyes and ears. throwing women under the bus as their hard won sex based rights are trampled by men in dresses and stilettos. now there are trans people. they have human rights. they deserve love, respect and care and recognition like everyone else. i've got close friends that have been on that important journey. but let me be clear men are not women and women are not men. until we accept that basic truth, things are only going to get worse. lipstick, a skirt and female pronouns do not. a woman make . pronouns do not. a woman make. your reaction gb news. com forward slash your say. don't forget at 10:00 i will be deaung forget at 10:00 i will be dealing in no uncertain terms with phillip schofield, who is trying to wheedle his way back onto tv, and he's getting the

take at ten treatment in an hour. you won't want to miss it, but first, tonight's top pundits, historian and broadcaster david oldroyd bolt. we've also got journalist and communications adviser linda jubilee and a very warm welcome back to mark dolan tonight and our lovely studio here in paddington to broadcaster and tv personality precious muir. precious by name. precious muir. precious by name. precious by nature . listen, your precious by nature. listen, your reaction to this precious. because i'm not even a woman and i'm insulted by this. >> yeah, i think it's really insulting, to be honest. >> and the red flag for here me is the fact that, you know, obviously there is impersonators and there is real transgender individuals and they're getting muddled together. right? because i know transgender women and first of all, the first thing they want to do is actually be taken seriously as a woman. the last thing they want to do is date another woman. so this is a big red flag for me that these impersonators are going in female spaces and attacking, sexually assaulting women. when

real transgender women do not do this, they want to be seen as a woman. they date men. they want to be seen as a female. so the last thing they want to do is to be going into gym spaces and stuff like that , attacking or stuff like that, attacking or bars and attacking females trying to date them. this is why i say it's difference between an impersonator and an actual transgender individual. >> linda , i'm a guy, so i can't >> linda, i'm a guy, so i can't answer this question. i'm going to ask you, how does it feel if a biological male comes into a female lavatory? what are your emotions at that point as a woman? >> i can't say i've actually encountered that situation too often, but i will say that i work for a charity, an afghan charity that had gender neutral toilets. >> they had to because the family used the space for their sort of family ablutions, if you like. and there were men and women in the family and i would say that it didn't really affect me. i barged in on a couple of men once or twice. i think it affected them, but they were they were counting their blessings . that indeed maybe blessings. that indeed maybe that's the case. but the issue

here that strikes me is one of safety. yeah that's the real key issue. i've been attacked twice in my life. on both occasions, the police were called those were very severe incidences. i was lucky to get away more or less unscathed. so i am naturally careful about putting myself into dangerous situations. and one of those dangerous situations would be to 90, dangerous situations would be to go, for example, to a public convenience where a man was inside. i would be horrified, really horrified, and i think we should pay very close attention to this. there are two areas where this kind of thing actually really counts. one is sport. that's it's very , very sport. that's it's very, very important that we get clear on this subject. and the other is we need to protect women with some women only spaces, because otherwise we are endangering women. we're endangering them in certain sports, particularly like boxing. you've outlined that that has happened where women have been severely compromised and we endanger them sometimes in public spaces.

predators, sexual predators of any description hide in plain sight . they look for situations sight. they look for situations where they have the upper hand, where they have the upper hand, where they have the upper hand, where they have the power. we only have to look this week at mohamed al fayed to find out how that power can be abused. exactly. >> that's what they use the penis as the weapon. so the problem is, is that we need to have that removed. i believe in castration and i feel like anybody. oh yeah. if you are sexually. yes. >> 100% chemical castration. >> 100% chemical castration. >> well, i don't know. just remove the balls and whatever you got to do because i believe that it will stop them removing the organs. >> i believe that if you are constantly out here. >> yeah, if you are constantly out here sexually assaulting women, you should have that that happen. >> poor david aldridge is now sweating in that jacket of his. david i don't think most of my viewers and listeners this panel tonight have a problem with trans people. >> we probably all know at all that there are two very different people. >> i know people who have gender

dysphoria have been on that journey. no problem. the issue is the mantra or the ideology that men are women and that women are men. >> the russian dissident and author alexander solzhenitsyn said that in keeping silent about evil, we implant it. and i think over the past few years, and i remember that instance on question time when lord winston said what he said. and the shock on fiona bruce's face that he would dare to say such a thing was an enormous contrast with the looks on the faces of those in the audience who knew this to be the truth, and were waiting for someone of his eminence and undoubted scientific capability to step forward and say it so that they themselves felt capable of saying it . and there capable of saying it. and there has been an essentially a conspiracy, i think, in recent years, of people at the top of society who want to change this aspect of the way that we see men and women and who have used their power and influence to do so. and i think it is about time that those of us who know this to be wrong, know it to be wrong for women and know it to be

wrong in a general sense. were not afraid to say it. implanting evil by maintaining silence does a disservice to women, and it does a disservice to those very, very, very, very few people who are in fact, truly gender dysphoric. >> exactly. is there a flip side to this? >> is it extremely rude, discourteous , and perhaps discourteous, and perhaps mentally damaging to not acknowledge somebody's chosen gender identity? so if you do misgender someone, is it an argument that actually that is offensive and that is that is out of order? perhaps not a prison sentence, but your caller felt i shouldn't say it's offensive. >> it's perhaps a failure of good manners in certain instances. but when this is having such an effect on society, when men are being put into women's prisons and therefore putting women at serious risk of harm and assault, then we have an absolute duty to say that this is wrong and it must not continue. >> although precious, isn't there a danger of transphobia here and demonising trans people who seem to be responsible for all of the ills of our society these days? >> well, i don't think we just have to make sure that we're aware that there are transgender

individuals who don't want to basically take away the rights of women , but we're kind of of women, but we're kind of clumping them together and not acknowledging the fact lazy. we're not acknowledging the fact that there are men out here who are utilising, who are using these little , you know, these little, you know, loopholes to get into these spaces and have nothing to do with the transgender community. >> last word, linda. >> last word, linda. >> you only have to look at, for example, the security rules they employ at somewhere like disneyland to stop predators on children, to realise that you have to have very strict guidelines when it comes to keep people safe, be it children, be it women. the point here is you have to keep people safe and you can't sort of overinflate intellectual arguments and dismiss the hard facts of life to write powerful words. >> your reaction gbnews.com/yoursay developing tonight. the conservatives are expected to sensationally bring forward the result of their leadership contest in order to provide opposition to the budget

in november. so a tory leader is coming sooner than expected. i'll get reaction from a former deputy chairman of the party next. thank you

well, a big reaction to my big opinion . a male rapist was opinion. a male rapist was referred to as she throughout the trial. the world's gone mad, and you tend to concur with what i've had to say this from david, who says the trans issue is not an issue about sexuality. it is an issue about sexuality. it is a political one. well, you're absolutely right. if you're just joining us, let me bring you a big developing story politically. rosie duffield, who is a gender critical labour mp, has resigned the labour whip. she's fed up with the party, its narcissism, the freebies and of course , there's a long history course, there's a long history of her conflict with keir starmer over women's biological rights. how about this? just

stop, says freddy. a man is a man, a woman is a woman. any government anywhere who is saying otherwise are either completely incompetent or duplicitous, just plain looking for votes. and angela gets the last word because, angela, you're very wise tonight . angela you're very wise tonight. angela says we are supposed to be an intelligent species, so why are we continuing to discuss that? biological born men can be women. it is a nonsense. angela couldn't agree more. it's time now for this . yes, it's time for now for this. yes, it's time for the big story . and in a daily the big story. and in a daily mail exclusive, the paper report that the tory leadership contest is set to be cut short , is set to be cut short, scrapping the november deadline to allow rishi sunaks successor to allow rishi sunaks successor to take on rachel reeves at next month's budget. senior conservatives are in talks about bringing forward the announcement of the party's new leader , allowing the new leader leader, allowing the new leader to take charge in time to respond to miss reeves budget.

on october the 30th and help prevent the climax of the contest being buried by the avalanche of news surrounding the us presidential election on november the 5th. well, let's get reaction now from a very senior figure within the tory party, former deputy chairman, no less jonathan cate hollis, jonathan, great to have you on the show. the timeline was far too slow, wasn't it? this is a good move, wouldn't you say? >> well, i hope it turns out to be true, mark. actually, i wrote about this prior to the rules being put in place that this should happen because there's only two times that any conservative leader is going to get air time before christmas. that's conservative party conference and then the budget. and it's really important that the new leader has time with their new to team set out a thorough defence, especially after we've seen the blunders from labour robbing the winter fuel payment from pensioners in places like stoke on trent, where that £300 goes a long way to people being able to heat their homes. obviously now

increasing tuition fees without actually solving the real issue, which is do we really need to have as many degree courses as we do? why are we not putting more into further education or into degree apprenticeships instead? and then obviously the rumours potentially of the 25% single person discount on council tax being scrapped, potentially fuel duty being hiked to this is going to need a very strong response. and so i do hope this does happen, albeit i don't really like seeing the rules change during a contest, but i think it's absolutely important for the conservative party and for the country that they have a strong opposition to mount a defence against this tax rising budget that's on its way of course, the labour government would argue that they've inherited an economic mess from 14 years of tory misrule. >> but jonathan, you were supporting priti patel. you told me about it on this show, acting as her campaign manager and chief troubleshooter. so in her absence, what are the qualities you're looking for in the ultimate winner ? ultimate winner? >> well, look, first of all, i think that party conference is

the game in town. i remember saying to priti that if we got to the final four, we were going to the final four, we were going to put all our energy into party conference because whoever comes out with the most buzz amongst members will therefore put enough pressure on parliamentarians to ensure they get to the final two. and i think ultimately that buzz will continue to make sure they get elected to become party leader. so what we want to see is a really wide range of policy proposals, nothing too detailed with the opposition, but at least the direction of travel in terms of what we're going. what the leader is going to stand for, what conservatism means to them, someone who can enthuse and engage our membership. it's been battered and bruised. they feel very disillusioned. we need to get them motivated for a very tough fight. in may may's local elections next year, where we're defending the overwhelming majority of seats and will have not just battles with labour, but battles with reform, where places like great yarmouth and clacton have local elections as well. and then finally someone who is actually going to understand the importance of returning the party to its members, actually making sure that we're not dictated to from central campaign headquarters in

westminster. but this party is a value. the members are valued as as party, not just getting the weekly emails of the begging bowl for more donations, but actually having full choice over the selection of its candidates. and i think that so far, from what i've seen, robert jenrick goes into that in front in terms of that broad approach. but i do think it's robert or kemi to win or lose, based on what we've seen with the parliamentary vote so far, and that speech is going to be a big moment. who gets the audience going, who can do a speech that doesn't sound wooden, who can motivate and emote and create emotion amongst the audience? and that's what i'm looking forward to seeing. >> and whether it's badenoch or jenrick or the other two candidates, of course we've got the former home secretary and indeed, of course, let's not forget tom tugendhat as well. how does the next leader solve a problem like nigel farage? >> well, i think essentially what you have to do is build credibility . so take your what you have to do is build credibility. so take your time to actually come up with a set of policy proposals that, you

know, that can be delivered. be brave enough to say them, even if some of them may be deemed controversial by certain figures inside the sw1 bubble. but actually resonate predominantly with the wider british public. and hold your nerve. if you look at what's happened in canada, i think in particular what the conservative party has done there successfully is gone back to being a party that's pro cutting taxes with the carbon tax that justin trudeau's imposed upon his people. pro housebuilding, something that labour has actually stolen. the mantle of the conservatives. so whilst we have to be constructive in our opposition, actually making sure that we don't come nimbys because we have to build homes, that helps create growth, it also allows people to aspire to the dream of owning their own home and then we have to obviously make sure that that leader has a very clear plan. let's be frank on the issue of immigration. labour are doing nothing. we've seen that with over 10,000 now, people come here illegally since sir keir starmer became prime minister. reform have a proposal. the conservative party must have something that is credible and that people will be

delivered. and again, robert does have an advantage of having resigned in over principle on that. and that is something that kemi is going to have to work tremendously hard, as is james. >> and tom to counter is the modern conservative party, two left wing and two woke? >> no, i don't believe it is. i believe what the conservative party is has to understand is and i saw theresa may's sort of odd article today where she was talking about the centre ground. but the problem is that too many people have made out the centre ground, some fixed thing. the centre ground is actually where it is flexible, it moves with time, and it's actually up to a leader of a party to determine where the centre ground is. that's why, again, canada is another perfect example, mr poilievre out there , the poilievre out there, the conservative party leader has made a very distinctive and clear platform. it looks like he's on course for a landslide victory over the super woke justin trudeau, who's over presided sadly over canada and over the g7 in terms of his pro, net zero nuttiness agenda that he's been keen to pursue since he's been keen to pursue since he's been keen to pursue since he's been there. so. and virtue signalling at every opportunity.

so i think that's very important to understand that it's not, you know, you've got to have courage of your convictions and your beliefs, and you've got to sell it to the public every time, whether that be clement attlee, tony blair, margaret thatcher or even boris johnson, where they had a clear , distinctive vision had a clear, distinctive vision of what they wanted to see the country and the public gave them all overwhelming mandates to deliver upon that. and that's what the conservative party needs to recapture. >> jonathan, very briefly, if you can, notwithstanding, whoever becomes leader of the conservative party, most likely towards the end of october before the budget on the 31st, do you think it's inevitable that whoever wins will have to work in some way with nigel farage in order to prevent a decade of labour in power? >> i think if you're talking about work in terms of how parliament operates and using opposition day debates, obviously questions on the floor of the house, those kind of conversations behind the scenes will always happen with opposition parties of all kinds, but that liberal democrats will also be included. do i want to see us do a deal with nigel

farage? absolutely not. he's been perfectly clear that he wants to see an end of the conservative party and wants to destroy it, and therefore makes it untenable, unviable for any such deal to be done. and it's a shame . i'm a such deal to be done. and it's a shame. i'm a big i like nigel personally. i think he has a lot to offer. i had hoped prior to him reclaiming the leadership of reform, that he would come into the conservative fold once again, and i think we should have made overtures earlier on, to bring him in to the conservative party. but he's made his bed. he needs to lie in it. it's our job now to take on reform and essentially make them redundant. and then we can make labour redundant afterwards. >> jonathan gallus always a treat to have you on the show. catch up soon. my thanks to the former deputy chairman of the conservative party jonathan cate hollis. interesting stuff there . hollis. interesting stuff there. cate hollis suggesting that the tories should have reached out to nigel farage and brought him into the family , into the tent into the family, into the tent sooner than they have. of course, now he's got reform uk and a political revolution is playing out before our eyes. time now for the great british giveaway and the biggest cash prize we've ever given away. £36,000 could be yours. that's

right . that is like having an right. that is like having an extra £3,000 tax free in your bank account every month for an entire year. here are the details that you'll need to make it happen. >> you could be the next great british giveaway winner with a whopping £36,000 in tax free cash in your bank account. imagine getting the winning phone call for that. >> you never expect to win. it was unexpected. >> of course i only put in one little entry. >> i blocked the phone number. to start with. >> i say get your entries in and if i can win it, anybody can win it for another chance to win £36,000 in tax free cash. >> text cash to 632321. entry cost £2 plus one standard network rate message or text bonus to 632325 entries cost £5 plus one standard network rate message. you can enter online at gbnews.com/win. entries cost £2 or post your name and to number gb08, p0 or post your name and to number gb08, po box 8690. derby d19,

next. now on thursday, the reform party chairman , zia yusuf, party chairman, zia yusuf, called out the huge number of asylum seekers coming into britain on tv panel show question time. but the host, the bbc's fiona bruce, was quick to intervene. yusuf pointed out that the uk takes in more asylum seekers per capita than france, but fiona bruce abruptly shut

him down. but let me tell you, this does take more per capita in terms of asylum seekers than we do. >> i think germany might as well, but france takes more per capita. we are quite far down the list . the list. >> however, later in the show she was forced to pause the show and correct herself . and correct herself. >> before we move on, i just want to say you are right in fact, that france takes fewer asylum seekers per capita than the united kingdom. we take more than that. it's important to get that right. >> oh dear. what an epic fail. so does the bbc have a problem with reform uk and nigel farage's political revolution? >> david oldroyd, bolt i think the bbc has and has long had a problem with any political view thatis problem with any political view that is in any way to the right of itself. the problem with the bbc is not, i think, that it is out there to broadcast socialism as a matter of faith. it is that its entire staff is made up of primarily young metropolitan dwelling humanities graduates ,

dwelling humanities graduates, who tend to veer that way anyway. and so it becomes the inherent culture of the organisation, even if it's not their political bias. and

organisation, even if it's not theithatitical bias. and elf organisation, even if it's not theithat .ical bias. and elf organisation, even if it's not thei that . and 3ias. and elf organisation, even if it's not theithat . and maybe d elf organisation, even if it's not thei that . and maybe we if organisation, even if it's not theithat . and maybe we all, tell that. and maybe we all, maybe people do feel anti—reform, but you shouldn't. >> 4.1 4.1 anti—reform, but you shouldn't. >> 4.14.1 million people did not. >> they quite like it. and the bbc are national broadcaster. shouldn't be. it should be far more objective than this. it shouldn't be leaning any way at all. but i think david's exactly right. there's no diktat that's been handed down. no directive has been handed down. it's just that the kind of people who are interviewed and selected who work there lean a certain way, and they want to portray things and they want to portray things a certain way. and i can tell you now that i think aggravates a fair number of viewers. >> well, indeed, i think we saw that during brexit, didn't we? certainly. i've got viewers and listeners who email me saying they gave up watching or listening to the bbc during brexit because they seem to be so against it now. the beeb would argue they work very hard to put out politically balanced output. question time itself is a politically balanced audience. the panel represents the full spectrum of views. what do you think? >> i think i just i think

basically they don't want to isolate, isolate the people that vote for them and they believe, like for example, there is a lot of people that pay the tv licence who are labour voters and so they don't want to isolate them. and that is the reason why they go to that side. i believe that they have this kind of understanding that if we don't, we could lose people. >> so do you think the beeb feels it's got to be left wing? >> yes, i believe that they have to. they have to steer towards the labour voters because they're the ones that are paying for the tv licence. >> indeed. >> indeed. >> indeed. >> i mean, do you feel that the way conservative voices are treated on shows like question time is different to, say, those on the left? have you seen a time is different to, say, those on the left? have you seen a difference in how they're difference in how they're treated by the host? >> i think slightly, because treated by the host? >> i think slightly, because obviously, as you said , they're obviously, as you said , they're obviously, as you said, they're keeping in mind and who's obviously, as you said, they're keeping in mind and who's actually watching and who's actually watching and who's paying actually watching and who's paying for the tv licence. so paying actually watching and who's paying for the tv licence. so they have to, you know, they, they have to, you know, they, they have to, you know, they, they have to, you know, they, they , they know who the viewers they , they know who the viewers are. >> do you think that fiona are. >> do you think that fiona bruce, for example, interrupts bruce, for example, interrupts conservative politicians more conservative politicians more than perhaps politicians of the than perhaps politicians of the left? linda. left? linda. >> no, i think that and i'm not >> no, i think that and i'm not sure this is just the bbc, but sure this is just the bbc, but

when i listen to the today when i listen to the today programme, when i watch bbc programme, when i watch bbc broadcasts, i think they broadcasts, i think they interrupt politicians too much, interrupt politicians too much, right? of all colours , of all right? of all colours , of all right? of all colours, of all colours. and that's an issue. right? of all colours, of all colours. and that's an issue. that's that's they want to be that's that's they want to be seen as argumentative. they want seen as argumentative. they want to see us stirring the sea. to see us stirring the sea. they're stirring the pot. i they're stirring the pot. i don't think they're necessarily don't think they're necessarily interested in getting enough interested in getting enough information out there, their information out there, their mission. >> but what about what about mission. >> but what about what about being curtailed? >> what about the bbc's nick being curtailed? >> what about the bbc's nick robinson's sneering interviews with nigel farage on the today robinson's sneering interviews with nigel farage on the today programme that you just programme that you just mentioned? i mean, would nick mentioned? i mean, would nick robinson talk to other robinson talk to other politicians in the way that he politicians in the way that he talks to farage? talks to farage? >> no, not not all politicians, >> no, not not all politicians, but they but i remember that but they but i remember that broadcast and that was extremely broadcast and that was extremely unfair. even when i watched tom unfair. even when i watched tom harwood was on newsnight. the harwood was on newsnight. the other night as a panellist. he other night as a panellist. he did very well and he did very , did very well and he did very , did very well and he did very, very well. that was an excellent did very well and he did very, very well. that was an excellent contribution he made. but there contribution he made. but there were little, little jibes going were little, little jibes going on there. i could see they were on there. i could see they were nudging away at him, nudging away at him, particularly david yelland. the particularly david yelland. the ex—editor of the sun was was a ex—editor of the sun was was a

little bit, you know, nasty little bit, you know, nasty actually, perhaps , perhaps briefly. >> david. fiona. bruce who's an excellent journalist and an experienced broadcaster , is experienced broadcaster, is alert to some of the sort of populist back of the packet nonsense that you get from reform uk . perhaps she's she's reform uk. perhaps she's she's on alert because reform uk have said a few things that they can't back up, but as chairman of question time, that's not her job. >> it is the job of the other panellists, the other contributors to pick up where there are errors in thinking or whether clearly fantastical policies that will never work. i just think i go back to what i said at the beginning. it is a reflexive liberalism throughout the bbc that shows itself far too often. indeed, and i like a lot of your viewers. i gave up on the today programme during the brexit referendum campaign

next. next. in just 15 minutes time in my in just 15 minutes time in my take at ten tv fraud phillip take at ten tv fraud phillip schofield makes a comeback after schofield makes a comeback after an inappropriate relationship an inappropriate relationship with a far younger colleague. with a far younger colleague. well phillip schofield gets the well phillip schofield gets the take at ten treatment. you won't take at ten treatment. you won't want to miss it, but first, this

weeks ago. i think that people started picking up on it and, and spreading it around. and there you go. boom >> well, listen, it's been amazing. and has it largely been amazing. and has it largely been a positive reaction? what do people think of it? >> largely positive. i think a lot of people enjoy it. there are some people with no sense of humour who think that it's to do with my personal political leanings and don't understand that. no, it's just satire of sort of everything that's going on. in the same way that spitting image would cover sort of every anyone and everyone that's kind of what i do. but when they see, i guess when they see their favourite up there being, sort of mimicked , then being, sort of mimicked, then they don't like, well, i totally agree with that . agree with that. >> the whole point about satire is that you mock whoever is in power. well, you're brilliant at it. a massive career beckons. so i'm excited because i believe that angela rayner is just brushing her hair and getting

ready for this tv performance. this tv interview in which she'll get a grilling from me. but before we meet angela, here are some of jenny's highlights. take a listen. >> hiya. it's deputy prime minister proud northerner and bafic minister proud northerner and basic instinct enthusiast angela raynen basic instinct enthusiast angela rayner. and welcome to another no brainer with angela rayner. now rac is having a mentee bee that's gen z speak for mental breakdown . he's still got breakdown. he's still got really, really bad memories of greggs being raided, so sometimes he thinks of sausages. and it was just at that moment something must've. maybe it was his stomach that triggered him. we think it's more inclusive to say confidence , rather that we say confidence, rather that we could have used delegates. we could have used delegates. we could have used delegates. we could have maybe we toyed with the idea of saying comrades, but we decided that the best thing to do was to say conference. and that way it is much more inclusive to people. so we thought that that was a good idea . idea. >> well, i'm delighted to say in

an independent. we'll get reaction to this political bombshell and more bad headlines for keir starmer with the papers and my top pundits at 1030. plus the prime minister and the foreign secretary have attacked donald trump in the past. but now, sir keir starmer meets the man who some believe will be the next president of the united states. so if trump wins, is it game over for the special relationship? we'll head to the united states for reaction. so lots to get through. but first, my take at ten. like a stubborn case of chlamydia. he's back. silver haired superstar phillip schofield's itv career ended in dramatic fashion in may of last year , when he admitted to what year, when he admitted to what he described as an ill judged but not illegal relationship with a much younger male colleague. he reportedly first met the co—worker while giving a talk at a drama school, where

the lad was then a 15 year old student. schofield we're told, later arranged a job interview for the co—worker at this morning where he was hired as a production assistant. now, let's be clear that no law was broken, but schofield got the boot. having lied to his family to his lawyers, to itv, to his co—star and to his agent about the affair. now let's be clear that schofield was the number one presenter in the country. by the way . i'm at presenter in the country. by the way. i'm at least in the top ten. but the bottom line is that schofield was huge. he ruled the this morning sofa with an iron fist. he was the king of mid—mornings, pulling in hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, topped up by a vast portfolio of commercial endorsements that would have even david beckham blushing. but the man who started his career in the bbc broom cupboard, which is ironic given that he spent so

long in the closet, has been given a second chance with an appearance on the channel five survival show castaway , in which survival show castaway, in which he's stuck on a remote desert island with only snakes and alligators for company. you have to pity the snakes and alligators. don't you? they won't be able to get a wink of sleep knowing that they're in the proximity of such a reptile. the truth is that schofield wasn't the only victim of his own behaviour, effectively taking his own co—star on this morning, holly willoughby down with him. due to a perception among viewers that she ought to have known about the inappropriate relationship that was happening all along. holly and phil started as such a promising partnership , winning promising partnership, winning armfuls of top tv awards and earning massive contracts. but then came their catastrophic decision to skip the queue for a peek at the queen's coffin prior to the funeral of our great monarch. the british people have a sense of fair play, and even

the aforementioned david beckham, one of the richest and most famous men in the world, was quite happy to wait his turn to pay his respects. but this tv power couple thought that they were above that. and that's when their relationship with the british public began to unravel. now i can forgive phillip schofield an affair with a younger colleague. this was consensual and legal. but you can't play mr tv nice guy when conducting a relationship, which is clearly ill advised. where there is a clear power imbalance and then lie to everyone about it afterwards. now i understand from my sources that the young person involved has been forced to leave tv. there were reports of this young guy working in a bar at the time, and when this story broke, i offered him a job on mark dolan tonight because i wouldn't be slipping him my phone number. of course , when it phone number. of course, when it comes to schofield, the tv bosses are ready to forgive and

forget because they're as shallow as a puddle in the sahara desert. but there is a problem. there's a stumbling block. there is a barrier to phillip schofield's grand return, and that barrier is you, the great british public. i don't think you'll have it. i remember covering this story at the time without fear or favour. just as we went after the huw edwards story and received dogs abuse for that. but your emails at the time about schofield were furious. you considered him to be a tv phoney , mr fake. do you be a tv phoney, mr fake. do you remember the vomit worthy performance of holly and phil when they went back on this morning after the scandal emerged, smiling and giggling and pretending everything was normal and there's nothing to see here taking you, the great british for public, mugs. what an insult. and seeing schofield on tv again will stick in the craw for many people shocked by his actions at the time . and god his actions at the time. and god knows what, this young lad and

his family are going through to see him back on the box and in the show he's having a big old moan saying the following when you throw someone under the bus, you've got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. well, phil , bloody good reason to do it. well, phil, lying to everyone around you is not a great start, is it? but he goes on, he says i got into telly because i love the nuts and bolts of telly . the nuts and bolts of telly. well, you do like the nuts, don't you, philip? i'll give you that. he goes on to say i never wanted to be famous. i'm not fussed about that . do me a fussed about that. do me a favour. this is a guy that's been on tv since the age of 19. four decades on the box. and he doesn't want to be famous. except that he's just put himself back on tv in spite of more than a healthy bank balance. it's interesting, isn't it, that phillip schofield chose a remote desert island for his comeback ? if only he'd stayed comeback? if only he'd stayed there. i'm sure he'll be missed by the snakes and alligators .

by the snakes and alligators. okay, your reaction gbnews.com/yoursay are you to happy see phillip schofield back on the box? i'll get to your messages shortly. but first, tonight's top pundits. i'm delighted to have linda jubilee , delighted to have linda jubilee, david oldroyd, bolt, and the one and only precious muir. good to see all three of you. and lots to get our teeth into in this houn to get our teeth into in this hour, particularly another political crisis for keir starmer as labour mp rosie duffield renounces the labour whip . but precious, let me start whip. but precious, let me start with phillip schofield back on telly. does he deserve it? >> i think ten days weren't long enough. i honestly believe he should have stayed there. it's an absolute pathetic attempt for sympathy. i think that he should not be on channel five. he shouldn't be on any tv show . he shouldn't be on any tv show. he shouldn't be on any tv show. he should just go somewhere and stay there. i don't believe that he should be on a tv show

saying, oh, you know, have some sympathy for me. what happened to me? i'm so sad. and nobody else supported me. you lied to everyone around you. we have no sympathy. i will not be watching the show and i don't think he deserves to be on castaway. >> no crime has been committed. this guy has a right to earn a living. david oldroyd. bolt. what's the problem? >> i must admit, i don't really see why people are getting aerated about this. as far as i'm aware, phillip schofield is not in holy orders. he's not an elected politician. and therefore, why is anybody looking to him for a virtuous lead in how to live a life? what i think was particularly loathsome was the way that he dragged his poor wife on television while making his admission of his sexual preferences and forcing her to stand there. i thought that was really incredibly cruel. and in that regard, i think he does deserve castigation is it brave to come out as gay in 2022? >> i mean, elton john, elton john did it in 1976. yeah. >> and making your wife go along with it was dreadful, i just don't really see the fuss about it. if he goes on channel five

and you don't like him, don't watch it. >> okay, well, linda, what do you think about this? you're a sort of an esteemed media observer. what's your view? >> i think that narcissism is often an overworked word, but i think that's what he is. he is a narcissist because he seems to be in love with his own image, and it all circulates around that. he's always the hero of his own drama. and although that's not a crime and it's not a sin, and we don't have to hate him for that. i think being dishonest with the general pubucis. dishonest with the general public is . and i think that when public is. and i think that when you're on air, as often as he was and you are seen by many millions of people, you do become a role model. it does matter how you act. it's really very important. and actually he was dishonest. i agree with precious. i don't think he should be on the airwaves at all. >> he should not be given. >> he should not be given. >> if you compare that. >> if you compare that. >> if you compare that. >> i mean, i mentioned huw edwards. the only reason i mentioned that is because i got dogs abuse for covering that story, but i thought it was in the national interest. and then

of course, it proven has proven to be now, of course, the phillip schofield thing is not evenin phillip schofield thing is not even in the same universe as the story. phillip schofield is a guy that came out as gay. he had a relationship with somebody that i think this this chap was 20 by the time they actually had a relationship. i mean, this goes on, this is life. isn't it precious? isn't this what happens? >> no, this is not fall in love. >> no, this is not fall in love. >> people have relationships. >> people have relationships. >> no, this is not this is not what happens. this is why this is an issue we cannot be in society being so accepting of such behaviour, especially when somebody is on television and he has been a role model to young children , to women, to people children, to women, to people that are watching his television shows , and he can't behave this shows, and he can't behave this way for an old for an older guy to, to date somebody younger while he was still married. >> mark, have you never heard of the rolling stones ? the rolling stones? >> he was still married. >> he was still married. >> it's not like bill wyman and a 14 year old. no, i think it says more about the state of modern britain, that a television producer is such a sorry, a television presenter is such a role model. >> we are , i must admit. >> we are, i must admit. >> we are, i must admit. >> yeah, it's a great question. i agree with you . i let me tell i agree with you. i let me tell you, say that we're a rather

denuded society being the nation's role model. >> it is a burden. >> it is a burden. >> it is a burden. >> i carry every night. >> i carry every night. >> well, you're my role model. >> well, you're my role model. >> no, i'm lucky because i am godlike, so that's fine. but listen, at the bottom line is, linda, we're all human. that's my point about phillip schofield . my point about phillip schofield. is there is it is this not in a way , a sort of kicking a man way, a sort of kicking a man when he's down? >> no, not at all. i think that the fact is that when he met the lad, the lad was only 15 and he started instigated a relationship when he was considerably older and he was in the hierarchy of itv, many levels above him. >> so you think there was a power imbalance in that relationship? >> there was a power imbalance. >> there was a power imbalance. >> that's the whole point. that's what made it one of the things that made it so wrong. and i think to hear phillip schofield describe this as some kind of, you know , drama in kind of, you know, drama in which he plays the hero was so nauseating. >> and to be given an opportunity like this that could have gone to somebody else very briefly, david, in a normal company, let's say an

accountancy firm, would it be inappropriate for a powerful 55 year old executive to date, a 20 year old executive to date, a 20 year old executive to date, a 20 year old intern? >> i think very clearly it would be a disciplinary issue. so on that basis, i completely agree with the castigation of schofield. i just find the whole thing rather banal. he's a television presenter who has fallen off the edge of his own moral cliff . moral cliff. >> oh nicely put, what a poet david bowie is . david bowie is. >> i'm delighted to say my punst >> i'm delighted to say my pundits are back at 10.30 for the papers, and this developing story that rosie duffield, labour mp, has renounced the labour mp, has renounced the labour whip, a massive headache for the prime minister. we'll tackle that shortly. but next up, the pm and the foreign secretary have attacked donald trump very often in the past. but now sir keir starmer has met the man who some polls believe will be the next president. so if trump wins, is it game over for the special relationship? i'll be asking our top us correspondent, schofield live from california

next. >> welcome back. lots to get through. >> we've got a developing story,

which is that rosie duffield , which is that rosie duffield, labour mp, has renounced the labour mp, has renounced the labour whip. she's resigned as a labour whip. she's resigned as a labour mp. a massive headache for sir keir starmer will tackle that at 1030 in the papers. could things get worse for the prime minister? well, let's get us news now because it relates to keir starmer in the company of kinsey schofield, the queen of kinsey schofield, the queen of us showbiz, royal and political reporting, kinsley , political reporting, kinsley, good to see you and our new prime minister meets a man who would like to be the next president. starmer meets trump. that's a big deal. >> mark kinsey schofield no relation, no relation to phillip schofield. just want to confirm disowning him right there. yeah, i just want my google alerts. my google search is i just want to make sure everybody knows. unrelated but according to politico, americans view this meeting as keir starmer's charm offensive after numerous senior senior members in the labour party criticised the former president and the current candidate throughout the years. now the pair enjoyed a two hour

dinner at trump tower. you know trump's territory. that must be nice. in new york. and starmer delivered. this was after starmer delivered his speech at the un general assembly. but we believe they had a very nice meeting, just kind of reiterating how important the relationship is between america, between your country. and this was the first face to face meeting between the two men eve r. >> even >> indeed. even >>indeed.and even >> indeed. and let's not underestimate donald trump. he's a charismatic guy, isn't he? he's entertaining and he will have charmed the socks off keir starmer. >> i'm sure that keir went home with a lot of stories. i'm sure that he has shared quite a few of them amongst his friends and family. but what politico really found interesting about this meeting is that the prime minister and vp were unable to find time to meet with each other and they felt like the fact that keir was still willing to meet trump and not kamala, an unorthodox approach indicates

that the new british government's eagerness to win oven government's eagerness to win over, you know, the possible next occupant of the oval office is very important to them, most definitely. >> do you think that the special relationship is in safe hands with sir keir starmer ? if trump with sir keir starmer? if trump wins, or does trump hold a grudge after the things that our foreign secretary, david lammy, has said about him in the past? >> i think that i mean, trump has said that cure cure is so popular. i mean, you know, trump is kissing up to. so, you know, i've seen the poll numbers when it comes to cure as of recently. so i think as long as everybody plays nice, our relationship will continue to blossom. >> i want to get to queen that witnessed harry's activity in ”(c told the that witnessed harry's activity in ii wantd the that witnessed harry's activity in ii want to he that witnessed harry's activity in ii want to get to queen >> i want to get to queen camilla and charles in a second, camilla and charles in a second, but can i just ask you how the but can i just ask you how the race for the white house is race for the white house is going? do we have a clear winner going? do we have a clear winner at the moment? at the moment? >> kinsey i'd say ignore the >> kinsey i'd say ignore the polls. every poll says something polls. every poll says something different. there's no clear different. there's no clear theme, no clear frontrunner. and theme, no clear frontrunner. and polls do not properly reflect polls do not properly reflect the mood. you can just look back the mood. you can just look back at 2016 and see that too close at 2016 and see that too close

in nyc told the you know, back to a very visible public duti> indeed . listen, queen camilla >> indeed. listen, queen camilla is embracing social media. is she going to go on tiktok ? she going to go on tiktok? >> you know, vicki perrin, the ceo of camilla's charity, the queen's reading room, says never say never, but i'm going to be honest with you, mark. i hope that they don't go on tiktok . i that they don't go on tiktok. i think it's a hellhole. and according to amnesty international, tiktok's content , international, tiktok's content, you know, the recommended page system, you know, aside from being invasive when it comes to data collection practices, they say it poses a danger to young

government action to repel the waves of a highly contagious disease. yeah, some of us were saying that for a long time, weren't we? >> yes. >> yes. >> joe biden hails killing of nasrallah as justice for thousands of victims badenoch. not all cultures are equally valid. this according to kemi badenoch. the tory leadership candidate is making plenty of headunes candidate is making plenty of headlines today has said that most politicians shy away from talking about immigration in terms of culture, as opposed to economics, as they fear it's too controversial . badenoch controversial. badenoch explained that culture is more than cuisine or clothes, but is also customs which may be at odds with british values . odds with british values. interesting stuff. well, look, let's get reaction now from my top pundits this evening. i'm delighted to welcome david oldroyd. bolt linda jubilee and precious muir. and, linda, we've got to start with this political bombshell. it's been a week to forget for keir starmer that disastrous conference speech and of course, controversy around

the freebies scandal and of course , the winter fuel course, the winter fuel allowance, which will be taken away from 10 million pensioners. so it's all bad headlines but it gets worse. top labour mp a very high profile figure, gender critical politician rosie duffield quits labour, breaking a political record. this is bad news, isn't it? >> i didn't realise it actually broke that political record. but if you look at if you read the whole of the quite long resignation letter , it's split resignation letter, it's split into two parts. she feels let down by the cronyism and corruption and the gifts and the donations, yada yada yada. but she criticises policies now. it's the criticism of those policies which is far more damaging to keir starmer. that's the real problem here. to have come out so clearly in that letter is excoriating. it's tough and i think it will have a permanently damaging effect on the prime minister. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> let's have a look. i've just sent this by my top producer, mel thorp, who has said, shared

the article. rosie duffield , the article. rosie duffield, david. sleaze, nepotism and greed. why i'm quitting labour. those words are going to linger in the memory, aren't they. >> i cannot think of an instance of a government beginning. so badly with such an enormous majority in british political history. it really is quite extraordinary, and i think this is yet another instance of why keir starmer's government is going to struggle to make it all the way through. >> mathematically. it can't fall, though, can it? >> not unless, well, no , he has >> not unless, well, no, he has a large majority, but it depends on the confidence in which he is held by his mps. on the confidence in which he is held by his mps . yes. held by his mps. yes. >> and if she stated in her two page resignation letter for instance, he could fall as leader, but also he could be brought down by a confidence motion, if sufficient of his mps think that he is morally and ethically. >> not able to lead them anymore, which, you know , what anymore, which, you know, what are we two, two and a half months in and it's week after week, scandal after scandal,

complaint after complaint. rosie duffield is a serious figure in the labour party and has i think, got a sort of national appeal beyond labour politics for her to go in this way with this wonderfully vicious resignation letter , i think resignation letter, i think shows that starmer is in serious trouble. >> well, yes . >> well, yes. >> well, yes. >> precious. we love having you on the show because you don't pull your punches. and rosie duffield certainly hasn't in this letter, has she? >> no, she, she went all in i think she went postal. she definitely was she, she everything she got, she really just you could just feel the emotion in the two page resignation letter. she really just was saying how she felt, how she feels. her colleagues feel the disappointment because obviously she's looking up to someone who's going to lead labour party in the right direction. and she feels like people have voted for that, that type of labour party, and they're getting something completely different. so in this letter, she just describes every single thing of what she, what she's actually really sad about. and disappointed about.

>> it's interesting at the end of the letter , she says that of the letter, she says that this may not actually be permanent, that she has taken this step, but one day she wants to see her way back. i mean, that's all under a new leader. yeah. that's right. yes, it's almost an oblique reference to coming back under someone else. >> indeed, as she won't return under starmer, who actually loves to suspend the whip himself from his own party members who don't support his legislation , which we saw over legislation, which we saw over the two child benefit cap. yeah will you know, is this just teething problems for a new government do you think? i mean, you could argue starmer's got four and a half years to sort this out. will he precious. >> i don't think that somebody would come out who's so, you know well respected in her in her position to come out publicly and say this. so she pretty much has reached her limit and has explained what changes need to be made and for him to realise that the things that's happening should not be happening in the labour party. >> well, the problem, linda as well, is that there is no deep well, is that there is no deep well of goodwill towards keir

starmer within the labour movement or the parliamentary party is their big problem. this is not a sort of popular figure, a sort of across the board within labour. >> no, not at all. and i think to go back to a point, you talk about or people talk about teething problems. i mean, we're not talking about the kindergarten here. we're talking about british politics. he's had about british politics. he's had a 14 years to prepare for this . a 14 years to prepare for this. it's not it's not a difficult to think about what your strategy and what your tactics might be. >> and it's not difficult to say no to 20 grand's worth of accommodation or to two grand for glasses. >> samantha cameron wore a dress from marks and spencer's to the party conference, not a100 £0 dress by elaine lai. you know, a really top , top handmade dress. really top, top handmade dress. you know , it's just these are you know, it's just these are very stupid, unforced errors which are really leaving a nasty taste in the mouth. >> most definitely, what do you think that the sort of labour ranks will be making of all of

this now? you know, i mean, we know how machiavellian the tories are and the 1922 committee would be gathering the erg wouldn't be happening. happy is the labour party, the parliamentary party. david, is it more loyal? are they going to stick with starmer for the time being, or could there be rumblings already? >> well, they'll stick with him for the time being because he's got a socking great majority. but i think the labour party is even more febrile and even more like a bunch of rats in a sack than the tories. and historically speaking, anyway, you know, don't forget that they they were fighting when they were first ever in government in the 1920s. they fought during the 1920s. they fought during the 1930s. they expelled ramsay macdonald, their own leader, from the party, because he formed a national government coalition with the conservatives, the labour party loves to fight among itself. there's a reason that there's the monty python sketch about the monty python sketch about the people's front of judea and the people's front of judea and the judean people's front. the left has splits and splits and splits. i think what this does is reinforce an idea that starmer is arrogant and really doesn't care what the rest of his party thinks about him,

because he's determined to rule in this dictatorial, autocratic manner with a very small cadre of extremely loyal people. >> it's like he's in a bubble of one. yeah well, and he's kind of contradicting himself because you can't, you know, take away the winter fuel allowance to those people that need it. >> but then you're going on trips and holidays and, and sitting in box seats at the arsenal. >> i don't know that that's necessarily congruent. the winter fuel allowance was a stupid policy that should always have been means tested. and he was he was doing what politicians always do, which is to take largesse . david cameron, to take largesse. david cameron, it was in the papers yesterday, had gifts of clothing while he was prime minister. tony blair stayed on holiday in in various people's. >> well it's like i'm not sure coming from one person though, isn't it, that the donor is this individual is the lord or something? >> in this instance it is from one donor. but for instance, when cameron sorry, when blair was going on holiday at cliff richard's villa for instance, or when osborne was on yachts with oleg deripaska and matt rothschild, this is just part of what goes on at the top levels of business, finance, the media, let us say.

>> yeah, i mean, i've been trying to gather rich friends and haven't made any just yet, but you should talk about houday. holiday. >> i keep tweeting bill gates, but no joy and i keep telling him i've been vaccinated. let's be friends. but it's not happening, linda. >> that's what the public don't like. yeah and, you know, you can say they're wide of the mark. you can say they're being naive, but they don't like to live the lives they lead. and watch all this going on. they just don't like it. and when it comes to voting, they will show their displeasure. >> i think this is going to be proved true. >> most definitely. well listen, folks, we've got lots more to come. and i've got a new tweet that's come in from another labour mp attacking rosie duffield, who's just resigned the whip. this civil war is turning nasty. i'll bring you details on that in just a moment. is keir starmer already under pressure? will he still be the leader of the labour party at the next election? i have my doubts. we'll debate that further. plus a shocking story in tomorrow's sun newspaper. i'll just give you the top line monster al—fayed's indecent

proposal to princess diana and that's come from paul burrell. more on that

next. welcome back. a shocking story about mohamed al fayed and princess diana. but first, the labour civil war well becomes more egregious. it heats up by the minute. because let me tell you, if you're just joining us, that the highly respected labour mp rosie duffield, who has clashed with keir starmer over trans issues and women's rights , trans issues and women's rights, has sensationally resigned the labour whip, she's made history, actually for the fastest resignation, recognition, resignation, recognition, resignation from a political party in recent political history. and here's the headline rosie duffield sleaze , nepotism rosie duffield sleaze, nepotism and greed why i'm quitting

labour a massive headache for the prime minister, keir starmer will be tackling this on tomorrow's edition of mark dolan tonight. but this in this evening from nadia whittome, who is a fellow labour mp. and i think you'd call this friendly fire. this is red on red. thank you team. we've got the tweet up already. look at that. it shows not just thrown together is it? nadia whittome says no matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, rosie duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society. she should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago. >> ludicrous. >> ludicrous. >> linda jubilee what exactly is rosie duffield's great crime here? what is nadia whittome referring to? >> well, she's obviously talking about rosie duffield's views on sex and gender and are they controversial? they are controversial, but they are her views. she is entitled to have them. i don't really understand why this labour mp is tanking into debate. in the debate in this way. i mean, the fact is

she should have been she should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. that is a ludicrous comment to make. >> well, it most definitely is. well, i'm delighted to say producer maria being outstanding as she is, has got the actual statement now, or part of it from rosie duffield. here's what she had to say to the outgoing labour mp. she's just resigned the party. the sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale . i'm so ashamed, she says scale. i'm so ashamed, she says of what you, prime minister, keir starmer and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party. now the problem, linda, is that this is a figure within parliament who'll be very vocal now as an independent and quite the thorn in the side. >> the side indeed. i mean, she i use the word excoriating earlier and that's what this letter was . it was deeply, letter was. it was deeply, deeply unpleasant towards keir starmer about his character. now that's a big development and

politics. you know, the policies are important. it's important that you criticise politics. politics is about perception, but it's also about character. >> isn't this character assassination of keir starmer? >> this is a guy that's just become prime minister he's got a massive mandate to lead the country to deliver change. arguably labour have inherited a financial mess from the tories. the public services are on their knees. he's got a tough job of work and he's the man to do it. >> i don't think he is at all and i don't think he has such a great mandate as has been made out. his support is wide but shallow, and the only reason he won that massive majority is because tory voters stayed at home and voted reform. if they did come out, he clearly isn't capable of doing the job. he never has been. he is there for demure because after corbyn, who else was there really ? else was there really? >> but this is a guy who changed his party. he got rid of anti—semitism. he made them electable and achieved an historic landslide. >> to what degree? he succeeded in getting rid of anti—semites within the labour party, i think has been demonstrated to be somewhat questionable since october last year, and the comments of labour party mps in

support of the palestinians and hamas and hezbollah, i don't think they are remotely as lacking in anti—semitism as we would like to think. as for his personal conduct, i think this is what i said to you a fortnight ago when i was last on the programme. throughout his penod the programme. throughout his period as leader of the opposition, keir starmer set himself up as lord high and mighty moral arbiter of politics. he was pious, he was puritanical, he was po faced and he's been shown to have feet of clay. his own behaviour has been questionable, i think is probably the lightest way we can put it, and the way in which his morality is being called into question already, i think shows that it was hypocrisy at best, and downright lying at worst. >> well, let me bring you a shocking headline now from tomorrow's sun newspaper . that's tomorrow's sun newspaper. that's the sun on sunday. well, of course, the main front page is the footballer andy carroll , who the footballer andy carroll, who is sadly to divorce his lovely wife , billi. we wish them well wife, billi. we wish them well in their future apart, but this

an exclusive in the sun by paul burrell, diana's former butler sex predator mohamed al fayed made an indecent proposal to princess diana . this, according princess diana. this, according to paul burrell. as i've said, the former harrods boss al fayed, whose son dodi dated diana, suggested he would one day sleep with her shocked , day sleep with her shocked, diana felt sick and was really upset at the summer proposal. this was in 1995 and precious more after what we've heard about mohamed al fayed. with in excess of 60 women having come forward as potential alleged victims of his sexually predatorial nature, this is more evidence of what a sickening man he was. and actually anyone was a potential target , including a potential target, including the most famous woman in the world. >> yeah, i just think he had. no, i mean, men like this in a powerful you know, position. they use the power that they have to take advantage of women. and, you know , individuals in and, you know, individuals in any case. and so this is why

it's really scary to know that even when he was around somebody like princess diana, he still didn't think that, you know, this is wrong behaviour to have do not do this. >> no boundaries. >> no boundaries. >> no boundaries at all. because as he thinks he money can buy everything i have all all the money in the world and i can do what i want and get away with it. >> yeah, my goodness. >> yeah, my goodness. >> it's not just that he knows no bounds. it's almost like having a medical condition. predators like this. oh yeah, they're mentally ill. crimes and offences on an industrial scale because they just can't help it. it's not about relationships or even sex, because that all takes a little bit of time. it's about power that they can grab immediately. what surprises me about this is that, fayed to use his proper surname. >> because the owl. >> because the owl. >> the owl is fake. is that right? the al—fayed. >> did he invent that? >> did he invent that? >> apparently so. well, no, he addedit >> apparently so. well, no, he added it because in arab cultures, it's a sign of aristocratic lineage. that's right. it's like calling yourself fon or der. yeah, right. >> yes. >> yes. >> or perhaps if i was an o'dolan, i'd get more respect. >> yeah, but apparently he made

these remarks to princess diana before she had the relationship with dodi fayed. this kind of bnngs with dodi fayed. this kind of brings her judgement into question point. 1.2 is whenever a sexual predator like this goes down, he invariably taints other people as well. and i suspect that this is paul burrell's attempt to safeguard diana's reputation and her legacy, because he's always very keen on doing that. >> but they're also both of them are not here to speak up for themselves. so they both have passed. and so, like, we can't really get the story because neither one of them's alive anymore. so this is why it's all speculation. but i mean, i guess we know what kind of person he is, so we'll go with that . is, so we'll go with that. >> david, call me uncharitable, but i think this is paul burrell's way of keeping himself in the news. >> yes, agreed. and a paycheque. >> yes, agreed. and a paycheque. >> how dare you! and the fact that paul's a very good friend of mine, i think. i'm sure he's delightful. >> egregious libel. and when i've got the means, he'll be my personal butler. let me tell you . personal butler. let me tell you. you you can drive the jag. david. my thanks to my brilliant

we may see a touch of frost, but also some mist and fog patches to start sunday morning. but it will be a chilly start out there for some of us, especially across parts of scotland, where we'll see a touch of frost in the sheltered glens. but still across orkney we have got some longer spells of rain here and a few showers further towards the west across northern ireland. cloudier skies in association with that area of low pressure. but further to the east you go dner but further to the east you go drier here with plenty of bright or hazy sunshine to start sunday morning , but it's going to be morning, but it's going to be a different feel further towards the west. we've got stronger winds and we have got a met office wind warning in force through sunday with gusts 50 to 60mph, as well as some heavy outbreaks of rain, but further to the east you are. that's where we'll hold on to the best of the sunshine. perhaps just some milky skies out there. feeling pleasant in the sunshine? up to 14 degrees in the north and slightly milder further towards the south. but

unsettled for many of us on monday. we also have a rain warning in force for southern parts of england and wales , so parts of england and wales, so expect some difficult driving conditions and further flooding unsettled as well across northern ireland and scotland throughout much of monday. but turning drier as we head into tuesday and wednesday with temperatures up to 18 degrees by, looks like things are heating up . heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather
