3:01 am
platitudes. i want us to have a serious plan now as to how we move forward and get this party back into gear for the good of our country. >> well, jenrick's rival kemi badenoch had this to say a short while later . while later. >> it doesn't matter. people are heanng >> it doesn't matter. people are hearing what i'm saying, and they think my approach is right, that you start with principles first and then policy. we need to unite behind a real conservatism. that means something to the country. >> and you can watch the final two battle it out in a special live event here on gb news on the 17th of october. to the us, hurricane milton, the biggest hurricane milton, the biggest hurricane in a century, is set to make landfall later this evening. if you're watching on television, these are live pictures we're bringing you from fort myers in the united states, where the hurricane is now impacting. a short while ago, the president of the united states, joe biden, urged residents to follow all safety advice as he held a press conference where he also expressed sympathy for those who were recently battered by
3:02 am
hurricane helene. >> many communities and hurricane milton's path do not have a moment to catch their breath. between helene and milton , two historic storms in milton, two historic storms in two weeks. i want to thank everyone who has followed local guidance to evacuate ahead of landfall . i guidance to evacuate ahead of landfall. i know guidance to evacuate ahead of landfall . i know it's really landfall. i know it's really tough leaving behind your home, your belongings, everything you own, but i urge everyone in hurricane milton's path to follow all safety instructions as we head into the next 24 hours. >> back at home, it's been announced this evening that volodymyr zelenskyy will visit downing street tomorrow as part of a tour to european nations seeking support for ukraine's resistance against russia. the ukrainian president will meet sir keir starmer and secretary—general of nato, mark rutter, with the prime minister expected to underline the uk's commitment to the defence of ukraine. the prime minister's official spokesman said tonight that the meeting will involve broad strategic decisions on allied support for ukraine. it will be the second time the world leaders have since sir
3:03 am
keir starmer was elected in july. and finally, some sad news this evening. holocaust survivor lily ebert has died at the age of 100. tributes have been paid to ebert, who has been described as a trailblazing advocate for holocaust education. king charles praised her extraordinary resilience and courage, and said that she has become an integral part of the fabnc become an integral part of the fabric of our nation . those are fabric of our nation. those are your latest gb news headlines for now, i'm katie bowen. more from me in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> massive questions for the home secretary yvette cooper. tonight, taylor swift was given a taxpayer funded blue light escort to her wembley concert on
3:04 am
the same day. yvette cooper attended that concert for free. reportedly, it's believed that the police initially refused to provide an armed guard for the special escort group, which is normally reserved for the royal family and government ministers. this is the same level of protection the home office has refused to provide for prince harry, but this is where it gets really interesting. taylor swift and her mother reportedly threatened to cancel the gigs following a terror threat in vienna. a source says that home secretary yvette cooper then stressed to our police force that it would be embarrassing and economically damaging if swift cancelled, but it has been revealed that the home secretary went for free to a taylor swift concert as a guest of swift's music label, universal music, because her husband, ed balls was given four tickets and she went with him . so she did not went with him. so she did not declare this because apparently the tickets were only worth £170, which is less than the £300 that would make it a
3:05 am
declarable interest. and on that same night, taylor swift got a taxpayer funded blue light escort to the gig. there are also reports that sadiq khan was involved. the same mayor khan, who unveiled the swift steps and a mural to her and then attended the concert as well for free laboun the concert as well for free labour, seemed confused about what went on here. really. culture secretary lisa nandy seemed to admit that labour politicians were involved with discussions with police over that taxpayer funded escort, and she then got mauled by sky news kay burley this morning . kay burley this morning. >> sky news was at these events in these same boxes as well. to be completely fair. who was there and you were there. i paid for my tickets, but i paid for my tickets. well, he's paying for his tickets. eventually. you paid for them, but he's paying for his tickets. and he eventually cleared out because he thinks it's eight months earlier, but he. so please don't do that. no, but he genuinely does think it's important. and he is paying for it from sky. well, i mean, i went and i've declared that in line with the ministerial code, but you don't.
3:06 am
but but your suggestion is that somehow they shouldn't be going. my somehow they shouldn't be going. my point, my point grave. >> a statement from the home office initially suggested that labour was involved in discussions about a police escort. this statement reads. of course, when events of this scale take place, you would expect the government , the expect the government, the mayor's office and the met police to work together to ensure that they can be held safely and securely. well, ex tory leadership candidate and the former home secretary, james cleverly, wrote a letter to yvette cooper to get clarity on this, asking did you or any of your ministers speak to sir mark rowley at the met police about protection for miss swift? what advice did you or your ministers receive from sir mark or other senior met police officers? he went on to say that the role of this escort group is not for use by p0p this escort group is not for use by pop stars. well, now labour are backing off a bit, saying that they weren't really involved. this is a police matter. nothing dodgy has happened at all and even if they were involved, it had nothing to do with the fact that a load of
3:07 am
labour mps were looking forward to seeing taylor swift for themselves. it comes off the back of numerous sleaze allegations. starmer himself has finally u—turned and paid for his own tickets to that concert. but now 59% of the british pubuc but now 59% of the british public think that labour is sleazy. and if the police and labour ministers thought the terror threat against taylor swift was really so bad, then why did so many labour politicians, including the prime minister? and as it turns out now, the home secretary , go to now, the home secretary, go to her concerts themselves. surely they can't have been that worried by the terror threat, can they? i mean, there's another thing as well to keep an eye on with sir keir. remember when he said this about beer and comer gate during lockdown ? corner gate during lockdown? >> but if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty nofice issue me with a fixed penalty notice , i would of course do the notice, i would of course do the right thing and step down. >> well now he has been referred to police over a potential breach of electoral law regarding lord waheed ali's £18
3:08 am
million covent garden penthouse, starmer told parliament that he was living at lord ali's in covent garden, but on his nomination form before and after the election, he appears to have declared as a sworn truth on his election nomination form that he was actually living in kentish town. that is, according to the guido fawkes website. they say that the law is clear. you must list a current address or you are committing a criminal offence . keir starmer denies any offence. keir starmer denies any wrongdoing , offence. keir starmer denies any wrongdoing, but let's offence. keir starmer denies any wrongdoing , but let's watch this wrongdoing, but let's watch this space. either way, i just don't think labour can recover from this horrendous start. and i will stress as well that yvette cooperis will stress as well that yvette cooper is currently denying any wrongdoing as well . let's get wrongdoing as well. let's get the thoughts of my panel. the director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood. we're also joined by businessman and activist adam brooks and broadcaster and journalist nina myskow. and yeah, mark, i'll start with you on this. so the idea that one of two nights where taylor swift was given a taxpayer funded blue light police escort happens, just
3:09 am
happens to be one of the nights when our home secretary was attending. what do you think about that ? about that? >> if you want to be kind, it's a startling coincidence, isn't it, patrick? if you want to be very kind, look, what labour has done here is they have dug their own grave on public ethics. and then absolutely dived in headfirst. they could not have been. you've shown some clips already. they could not have been clearer that everything was going to be cleaned up in politics once and for all. we heard keir starmer, just a clip earlier. no vip fast lanes. well, what was this if not a vip fast lane if they had not been holier than thou on every single thing the conservatives took, i don't think they'd be anything like this, this sort of trouble. they could actually say, look, it's sort of normal practice for politicians to meet at quite high grade events. we shouldn't be ashamed of it. but when you start to be able to piece together at least prima facie, on the face of it, that there's a connection between entertainment of politicians and
3:10 am
different security decisions or at least some influence exerted by the home secretary on a procedural position, it looks absolutely terrible. labour here is being hoist by their own petard. >> what do you make of this, then, adam? you know yvette cooper saying, well, i couldn't declare this at the time because it was only £170. i'll stress again. the tickets were given to for free to her husband, ed balls , by taylor swift's music balls, by taylor swift's music label. she then went along. and i mean, if they were that worried about the terror threat for taylor swift, surely they wouldn't have gone themselves. >> you know, i wouldn't let you, wouldn't let children go there, wouldn't let children go there, would you? you would put a stop to the concert or there would be some sort of mass policing there. but look, i don't think anyone thought the first 100 days of this labour government would be so chaotic. i expected them to be bad. i didn't expect them to be bad. i didn't expect them to be this bad. now i speak
3:11 am
to people out and about and it's very much now. it's us and them. these were meant to be for the working man, for the working woman. but they're getting freebies. they're getting use of an £18 million penthouse. they're getting free clothes, free glasses. you know, lord alli is like an atm machine. they can just go and withdraw money. this is embarrassing. and i don't think labour are going to get rid of this. this label how. >> now. >> well, on that, 59% of the pubuc >> well, on that, 59% of the public apparently think labour are sleazy, which i don't think many people had on their bingo cards when labour first came into office. to be fair, nina, can they recover from this? >> they will eventually recover, but of course they're stuck with the label because they've really screwed up. they have screwed up. >> and part of that was because they didn't have the right team in place. they've now hopefully moved towards that. the other thing is that, you know , the thing is that, you know, the election was called earlier than everybody thought it was going to be. so they're kind of scrambling to get, you know, to
3:12 am
get themselves elected. but then they didn't have the right team in place and they have screwed up. sue gray was a woman who thought journalists were scumbags, which she said that in cabinet. now the thing is with with the media, thank you with the media. but your too media. and you're a journalist, i assume you're going to say i was assume you're going to say i was a scumbag then for a second. no no no no no. [10 [10 [10 110. >> no no no no. >> but the thing is, the lunatic, the thing is between politicians, between politicians and media, there is a game that has to be played. >> and she wasn't going to play that game. and now they're hopefully going to play the game. now can we get to the taylor swift thing? because it's all gone completely over the top. there is some thinking that taylor swift does not deserve an escort. does that count? well, let me just tell you why she does deserve it . first of all, does deserve it. first of all, it's therefore royals . yeah. it's therefore royals. yeah. senior politicians visiting heads of state. okay. who might be in danger? >> which one is she? >> which one is she? >> well, wait a minute, taylor swift. and this is you being snobby. now, taylor swift is the largest pop star in the world. >> oh, well, she could pay for
3:13 am
herself then. >> hang on a minute. she's the. she can't provide armed motorcade, okay? she's the largest pop star in the world. she has just come from a threat in vienna, which had three concerts cancelled. she has , concerts cancelled. she has, what, half a million fans coming now when ariana grande gave a concert in manchester, it wasn't ariana grande that was harmed . ariana grande that was harmed. it was, unfortunately, our young people who died. right. so it's not just it's not just to protect taylor swift, it's to protect taylor swift, it's to protect her audience. now hang on a minute. >> she also brings how does it protect her audience? >> because. because if somebody will will get in the way of her. look, look. hang on. >> the blue. the blue lights to get her to wembley is clearly for taylor swift, not for the fans. there was not a suggestion that there should be, i don't know, another 300 armed security guards outside of the stadium, but this was directed to protect taylor swift. >> can i just get right to the
3:14 am
nub of this, though? because, look, there is a to case say that taylor swift should have a blue light escort. okay, so there is that case of it that there is that case of it that the issue here really is whether or not the home secretary at the time decided that taylor swift should have one on the day that she was due to attend that concert. >> i don't know that you don't know. well, we do know that the point we do we do know that what we do know is that she did attend that concert for free on the day that she was given that the day that she was given that the point being that taylor swift brought £1 billion. >> i'm sorry. no, no, no no no no. nina. nina. and for her to cancel. >> no, she threatened to cancel. >> no, she threatened to cancel. >> well, she she she may do, but i'm afraid this is cancelled. nina, this is private enterprise. i dare say that adam occasionally has to pay for security at his pub. it's not paid for by the taxpayer. despite the fact that adam's pub generates income for the economy. football matches and the security around them are paid by the football team. if you are holding that, it cost was paid back by the organisers, the entire cost of this should
3:15 am
be borne by private enterprise. so it was by the state. >> eventually it was eventually right, but eventually no. >> but the cost of security for a big concert. by and large, unless you've got a specific terror threat that m15 identified should be paid for , identified should be paid for, it wasn't as if there was a short i'm just going to bring. >> ever been with a popstar in a car that's covered with screaming fans? because i have, but that's a private matter. not not a private matter. >> i won't ask, i won't ask about that. but i tell you , it's about that. but i tell you, it's all right. >> we haven't got time in south america with with a with a motorcade escort with guns. >> you pay for security, adam. >> you pay for security, adam. >> it's how it looks, though, isn't it? and again, you know, yvette cooper had balls. anyone else have dared to mention this? will deny any wrongdoing, but it looks as though a load of different labour mps had tickets to go and see taylor swift, and they were desperate for that concert to go ahead. >> there's a word. it stinks. it completely stinks. and if this if this was part, this is if this was the tories, if this was boris, if this was any of the high ranking tory mps, this would be all over the mirror.
3:16 am
this would be all over the guardian. >> this would be so many freebies. it wasn't even this would be a big deal. >> and look, it might not be. it looks very sus but and the key thing is labour asked to be judged by a higher level of criteria. >> they a higher criteria screwed up. >> but you bet they have going for taylor swift and saying she didn't just going for taylor swift, going for this particular item she she did deserve. do you like taylor swift? yes i do. >> what's your favourite song? >> what's your favourite song? >> i am not going to go into this. >> on that note, for want of a better phrase, right? that was a lively start. thank you very much. no doubt this story will will rumble on because it just kind of is. all the details are coming out about an hour before i came on air. so we await for any more info. but well, talking of, you know, getting things for free, it is time for the great british giveaway. your chance to win the equivalent of an extra three grand in your bank account each month for the next year. that's a whopping £36,000 in tax free cash. here's all the

3:18 am
good luck i good luck! >> still to come , the boss of >> still to come, the boss of mi5 >> still to come, the boss of m15 set alarm bells ringing with this warning yesterday. >> finish here with the terrorist trend that concerns me most. the worsening threat from al—qaeda and in particular from islamic state. >> well, it's pretty clear on that, wasn't he? but somehow the media wound up blaming extreme right wing ideology for britain's terror threat level. but shouldn't we be more worried about the threat of islamist extremism? reform uk's lee anderson joins me very soon. but up next, rumours are swirling tonight that the government is considering handing the anti—extremism tsar, lord walney, his p45, just months after he said that far left groups like just stop oil should be treated like terrorist organisations. so as labour now caved in to the eco mob going head to head on this, the head of policy at the global warming policy foundation, harry wilkinson, and a just stop oil spokesperson, doctor ben jones. don't go anywhere
3:19 am
3:20 am
3:21 am
3:22 am
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, coming up after the tory leadership candidates will whittle down to two who would reform uk fear most. lee anderson joins me very soon. but first, has labour absolutely caved in to the eco mob? it's time for the head to head. all right, so rumours swirling tonight that the government's
3:23 am
anti—extremism tsar, lord walney , anti—extremism tsar, lord walney, could be facing the axe just months after he warned that far left groups are wreaking havoc on britain. lord walney has been an outspoken critic of groups like just stop oil and palestine action, claiming in a report earlier this year that they should be treated like terrorist organisations and that it should be an offence to belong to such a protest group. well, surprise, surprise, the government is now reportedly reviewing his role. it comes after the anti—brexit anti—tory pressure group led by donkeys last night called for labour to release so—called climate activists from jail. >> among those currently held in uk jails are five just stop oil activists serving sentences between 4 and 5 years. >> meanwhile , two other >> meanwhile, two other protesters who threw soup on the glass of van gogh's sunflowers have just been sentenced to 20 months and two years in prison. well, now there's a new parliament and a new government led by a man who used to understand the role protest plays in making the uk a better place to live. it's time for
3:24 am
labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest . protest. >> indeed, labour's biggest corporate donor in the run up to the election was none other than climate change campaigner and former just stop oil donor dale vince. so as rumours swirl that the government's anti—extremism tsan the government's anti—extremism tsar, lord walney, is facing the chop tonight, i'm asking has labour caved in to the eco mob? make sure you go to gbnews.com forward, slash your say. tweet me @gbnews. and when you're there, have a little vote in our poll. but going head to head on this now are the head of policy at the global warming policy foundation, harry wilkinson. and just stop oil spokesperson doctor bing jones. shapps, thank you very much. great to have you both on the show. harry, i'll start with you. i mean, does this look a little bit like they are? they are trying to appease the eco mob by shifting lord walney to one side. >> well, there's been a lot of confusion about this story. we heard yesterday this report from the by—line times that he was out of a job. then we heard from the government. he was still in
3:25 am
post. and so now there's a lot of confusion around this particular story. i think we should go back to what the key problems were here. we saw extinction rebellion, just stop oil. these extreme green groups who were actually really threatening public safety. we've seen ambulances blocked from going down the road. we've seen persistent illegal behaviour. we've seen extinction rebellion activists jailed for a plot that would have actually brought the south—east of england to deadlock by freezing traffic on the m25. these are really dangerous actions that could cost lives and, and ruin, you know, many livelihoods and do real damage to the economy. so there was a need for him to address this and address how the police responds to this, because they haven't necessarily been acting in the most robust way. when we see these devastating protests, we see protesters who are committing offences again and again and again and not
3:26 am
seeing justice faced. >> fine. doctor jones, just stop >> fine. doctorjones, just stop oil spokesperson i will bring you in here. presumably just stop oil would welcome the removal of lord walney. thinks that you're basically extremist. should be treated as extremist groups . groups. >> yeah. lord walney is not independent. he's paid. he's part of a group that's paid for by fossil fuels and arms interests . appointing him is interests. appointing him is a kind of a corruption of the democratic process. it's basically allowing the fossil fuel industry to have a voice in silencing people who are trying to warn , warn us all of the most to warn, warn us all of the most awful. >> sorry, didn't delve into donate to labour. is that not what you're doing ? what you're doing? >> pardon? >> pardon? >> well, dale. dale, vince gave the labour party a load of money when he was a big backer of just stop oil. is that not quite a similar thing? money, vested interests? influence? >> no , dale, vince doesn't have
3:27 am
>> no, dale, vince doesn't have an official post whereby he advises the government. right. and look, we're looking at we're looking at the collapse of the climate. patrick, are you not looking at your television screen? we're looking at scientists screaming, and we're looking at hurricanes in america, which are the worst ever hurricanes that have ever hit that part of the of the country. we're looking at hundreds of people dying. we're looking at billions of pounds worth of damage. we're looking at human misery on a massive scale . and we're all you want to scale. and we're all you want to do is to quibble about whether or not this is a right. >> no, no, the thing, the thing i'm quibbling over is something i'm quibbling over is something i think actually cuts right to the very core of our democracy, harry, which is whether or not a pressure group, an environmental pressure group, an environmental pressure group, an environmental pressure group like just stop oil, which has by many people's metric , employed relatively metric, employed relatively extreme action over the course of the years, been able to have some influence over the current government that we've got. do you think they do , harry? you think they do, harry? >> well, if this decision has in fact been made, then it would
3:28 am
suggest, unfortunately, they do that they're ignoring the risk that they're ignoring the risk that some of these groups pose. and we've heard much extremism from these kind of groups. it's sad to hear these doom and gloom warnings repeated . the reality warnings repeated. the reality is that fewer people are dying in extreme weather. and children, you know, are being poisoned by this catastrophic narrative. they're being , you narrative. they're being, you know, they're leaving school to go on protests . and, you know, go on protests. and, you know, adults who should know better are facilitating children leaving schools. so, you know, these groups . these groups. >> nonsense. that's absolute nonsense. the misery caused by climate change, by the climate warming, the heating of the climate is absolutely dire. there are millions of people who are being displaced from their their homes. they can't grow the food that their grandchildren. why do you keep throwing soup over a van gogh then? >> what's the point of that? >> what's the point of that? >> because the essence of the problem is that people have no.
3:29 am
the government and you guys in the media are not conveying the urgency of this problem. it is getting worse by the minute. and the van gogh stunt, you might call it, got millions and millions of hits. we are managed to be able to raise this issue. patrick. this is absolutely dire. i've told you before, i'm a doctor. i've watched people dying unnecessarily, necessarily because they did not know how bad their their problem was. this is the world's situation how. >> now. >> sorry. just clarify that for me. sorry, sorry, sorry. what do you mean? so what? sorry. i don't quite understand what you mean. as a doctor, you watch people dying. what? because of climate crisis in this country? sorry, did i misunderstand that? sorry. >> i watched people with cancers who did not realise how bad their cancers were. right. i see late and they died unnecessarily. and that is the situation that we're in at the
3:30 am
moment. and people like harry, who are paid to advocate for the fossil fuel industry, which is causing the collapse of our climate. this is this is absolutely terrible because people do not realise the cause of the hurricanes and the it's complete nonsense. we need to do that. >> it's complete nonsense. if i may interject there to say i'm being paid by fossil fuels, that's not the case. i am concerned about climate change, and i want to see sensible policies to respond to that threat. what we would have, what would happen if we follow the green extremists policies is that, you know, the global economy would collapse. millions of people would die because the anti—growth agenda is so dangerous. >> the global economy is going to collapse. it's collapsing right now. the copernicus institute okay. >> all right, guys? well, i'm afraid we are. we are out of
3:31 am
time and but just not quite in the same way that doctor bing jones thinks we are. and you're going to go to your poll now. but thank you very much to the head of policy at the global warming policy foundation, harry wilkinson, and just stop oil spokesperson doctor bing jones. until next time . so who do you until next time. so who do you agree with? has labour caved in to the eco mob? albert on x as typical labour more concerned with appeasing noisy protesters than standing up to the silent majority. another example of their inability to make tough decisions. sarah says caved. they are the eco mob. all right. okay, well, your verdict is now in. 97% of you think that labour hasindeed in. 97% of you think that labour has indeed caved to the eco mob. 3% of you say labour has not. it will be interesting to see whether or not lord walney is still in post this time tomorrow, won't it? but coming up, thanks to your generous donations, my fundraiser for friends of the elderly has reached just over £220,000. but i'm not going to stop here. we've got to raise as much money as possible this winter. i'm going to be joined by a pensioner very, very soon who's worried that she will freeze to death. she's in. apparently, britain's coldest town or
3:32 am
england's coldest town. i should say. stories like hers that make your donations all the more important. and i am going to need a bit of audience participation shortly from you. so stay where you are. but first, a stark warning from the boss of m15. >> yesterday, finish here with a terrorist trend that concerns me most. the worsening threat from al—qaeda and in particular from islamic state. >> yeah, it couldn't have been clearer. but somehow the media wound up blaming the so—called far right for britain's substantial terror threat level. shouldn't we be more worried about islamist extremism and what should we do about it? well, reform uk's lee anderson , well, reform uk's lee anderson, he's live and he's next. i'm going to ask reform would fear more kemi
3:33 am
3:34 am
3:35 am
3:36 am
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. so the head of m15, ken mccallum, issued a stark warning yesterday about the uk's terror threat level. in a speech, he said that the main threat was unquestionably about al—qaeda and isis. but headlines managed to blame extreme right wing ideology. radicalising kids as young as 13. i mean, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he was totally blaming the so—called far right, wouldn't you?i so—called far right, wouldn't you? i mean, it is really strange, actually. seriously, because this is what he actually said . said. >> we've seen appalling loss of life in gaza and now lebanon, and conflict spiralling in the wider region, with all the implications that brings for middle eastern and uk security . middle eastern and uk security. today, we are powerfully arrived
3:37 am
alive to the risk that events in the middle east directly trigger terrorist action in the uk. i'll finish here with a terrorist trend that concerns me most the worsening threat from al—qaeda. and in particular from islamic state. >> lee anderson joins me now. the reform uk mp. lee, i mean, are you more worried about the threat of islamism than the threat of islamism than the threat of islamism than the threat of the far right? >> i think you know, my answer to that, patrick. we've seen over the past few years, we've let everybody and his dog into this country. we've had uncontrolled borders. we've seen people sneaking in the country through the back door. we've seen people being radicalised in this country. and i am actually very, very concerned. we see the events going off in the middle east. we see the events going off in gaza, you know, and we've seen i think it was a poll this week where, you know, lots of young people have you know, sympathy with what's going on in, in, in palestine. it's very worrying , patrick. and, you
3:38 am
worrying, patrick. and, you know, i fear for this country sometimes i really do. and we've sat idly by over the past few years and absolutely nothing to stop this threat. >> it's another thing that i'm pretty convinced that we're going to ignore because we have ignored it. look, he made the point that, you know, something like 25% of their time is taken up like 25% of their time is taken ”p by like 25% of their time is taken up by far, right. he's worried about, you know, far right radicalisation by young people. i don't want to dismiss that entirely. but that does mean unequivocally, yet again, that the major problem is islamist terrorism. you mentioned there another report that came out, which 1 in 10 young people, 18 to 24, basically support hamas. we've had mps killed by islamist terrorists, you know, and i just wonder what what would you do? what would you do, lee? because if we are going to see it massively kick off in the middle east, it is going to impact us on the streets here. so how do we deal with that? >> well, look, we've seen sir keir. he was very robust. patrick. you know, just a few months ago a few weeks ago. sorry, when people were out there, you know, demonstrating, throwing bricks and being
3:39 am
nuisances in society, there was arrested , charged and put in arrested, charged and put in prison within a matter of days. if he took the same sort of robust action with this demographic, we're talking about it would stop very, very quickly. >> well, of some of the people who we actually showed on this show, on this very program, we showed people being racist against jewish people. we also showed people it could not have been clearer. holding a sign saying, i love hezbollah. people calling hamas freedom fighters and pledging their allegiance to them. if any of those people have been arrested, well , we're have been arrested, well, we're not sure. but will they then go to prison for the same amount of time as some people who were just in and around some of the disturbances that we saw previously? we'll have to wait and see. but, lee, i want to wizard on to a story that was, you know, certainly, certainly one of the biggest stories of the day. and the tory leadership candidates have been whittled down to just two. >> kemi badenoch , 42 votes.
3:40 am
>> kemi badenoch, 42 votes. james cleverly , 37 votes and james cleverly, 37 votes and robert jenrick, 41 votes. so, as a result of that, that ballot, james cleverly is eliminated from the contest and kemi badenoch and robert jenrick now go forward to the ballot of members . members. >> i mean, i don't know if you clocked it, but the guy on the right couldn't even do his suit up properly there. but james cleverly is out. kemi badenoch and robert jenrick, they're going head to head before a winner is announced on the 2nd of november. lee, who do you fear most? >> i don't fear any, to be honest with you , patrick. honest with you, patrick. i mean, it's going to be i mean, i know rob very, very well . class know rob very, very well. class him as a friend. he's a good quy- him as a friend. he's a good guy.sois him as a friend. he's a good guy. so is kemi. rob's going to campaign quite clearly on leaving the echr. and kev's not come out and actually admitted she will do that. the problem rob's got patrick is yes, he might want to campaign on leaving the echr, but the
3:41 am
parliamentary party, the shadow cabinet, whoever he picks will never back him on that. and it's going to be interesting, patrick, to see how many people are actually left in the conservative party membership. i suspect it's not as many as reform uk. we'll have to wait and see. but which type of members are actually still in the conservative party? is it the conservative party? is it the wets , the liberals, the the wets, the liberals, the remainers, the remoaners? because i tell you what, patrick, i think the vast majority of the true conservatives have left and come to reform uk . to reform uk. >> that is going to be a massive question that will be answered when they have this vote. and i think you're absolutely spot on. i was at tory party conference and i was quite surprised by some of the views that i heard there. it did make me wonder whether or not actually quite a lot of them had gone to reform. and when it comes to robert or kemi, which one do you think reform would most likely do a deal with? >> oh, i don't know. >> oh, i don't know. >> i think kemi to be honest with you, patrick, she's sort of said she doesn't want anything,
3:42 am
anything to do with nigel farage. i think that's a pretty foolish thing to say. i think robert's been a bit more open about this. he's speaking our sort of language, but like i say, patrick, who knows? i mean, the membership has probably changed massively over the past year or so. since reform uk have been on, been on the march. and i think like i said before, a lot of the true conservatives in the conservative party membership have probably come over to reform uk. so kemi may well get it. >> do you think that that would actually be a bad thing though? i mean, i do look forward, you know, i, you know, i would look forward to the idea of starmer trying to deal with with kemi. in a sense it would probably stop him being able to, you know, say everyone on the right is a racist. >> well, it might be a little bit lively on a wednesday afternoon . patrick at the afternoon. patrick at the despatch box, because at the moment let's be honest, pmqs is quite boring, you know. but kemi has got a little bit of fire in her belly. rob's pretty good at the despatch box as well. but you know what? i think? i think
3:43 am
the conservative party at the moment are a busted flush. i really think they are. i mean, cleverly going out. i'm disappointed. i wanted him to actually win the leadership contest because if he'd have won, i tell you what, patrick, i'd have been in that place for another 20 years. >> well, well, well, there you go. all right, lee, thank you very, very much. lee anderson. there . reform uk rempe right . there. reform uk rempe right. and on that note, gb news will be hosting a live debate with the final two tory candidates. kemi badenoch, up against robert jenrick on the 17th of october at 7:00 pm. now i'm going to be watching the debate with my very own studio audience right here, and i want you to join me. so go to w—w—w dot s r o audiences dot com to sign up. i think it's there. there it is. there you go. have a look at that and then type it in and do it. i'll get reaction after the debate from a panel of political heavyweights as well. and my own superstar panellist allison pearson will be here. lord shaun bailey will

3:54 am
cloudier start to tomorrow morning. there will be some outbreaks of rain. could be the odd heavier burst, but most of this will clear through as we go through the morning. for central parts, things brightening up quite quickly and also some decent bright sunny weather across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. but all the time there will be some showers around. the showers will be most likely in areas exposed to that northerly wind, so parts of northern ireland, northern scotland and down the eastern side of england and scotland as well. but even a few showers are possible elsewhere. we may see 1 or 2 showers developing in some inland places too, but for many it is going to be a much drier day than the last couple of days, and it's going to be a bit brighter. but like i said, we do have that cold air pushing its way in, so temperatures markedly lower and feeling pretty cold indeed, especially in those brisk northerly winds. as we go towards the end of the week and a bit of a north south split, developing wetter weather across northern parts of scotland, seeing some outbreaks of rain, perhaps some wintriness over the

two battle it out in a special live event here on gb news on the 17th of october. to the us hurricane milton, the biggest hurricane in a century , is hurricane in a century, is making landfall this evening. if you're watching on television, these are live pictures we're bringing you from fort myers in the united states, where the hurricane is now impacting. a short while ago, the president of the united states, joe biden, urged residents to follow all safety advice as he held a press conference where he also expressed sympathy for those who were recently battered by hurricane helene . hurricane helene. >> many communities in hurricane milton's path do not have a moment to catch their breath between helene and milton, two historic storm storms in two weeks. i want to thank everyone who has followed local guidance to evacuate ahead of landfall . i to evacuate ahead of landfall. i know it's really tough leaving behind your home, your belongings, everything you own, but i urge everyone in hurricane milton's path to follow all

4:06 am
would be very shocked to find out that our immigration laws had in fact excluded people of colour. you know this is rubbish, don't you ? really? rubbish, don't you? really? because all you have to do is go outside and have a look for yourself in fact, since brexit, we've seen an increase in immigration from non—european non—white nations. so what are the racial demographics of people coming across the channel as well? and labour is now letting all of them claim asylum. i mean, this hard left bunch of mps also appear to want the school curriculum to be drawn up alongside racial justice organisations. so what does that mean? this maths class has been brought to you in conjunction with black lives matter. the mps include clive lewis, who protested when he had to swear allegiance to the king. >> i take this oath under protest and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic . until that time, a republic. until that time, i do solemnly , sincerely and truly do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty king charles. according to law .

charles. according to law. >> great dawn butler, who sees racism every time she opens her eyes but was forced to apologise actually, and certainly retract something after accidentally including rapists and murderers including rapists and murderers in a social media post that appeared to suggest appeared to suggest that black people were superior. >> you are the wrong one, the violent one, the weird one, whereas i, i am the chosen one because i am of the first ones. >> you see this skin? i'm in this beautiful mahogany brown, this beautiful mahogany brown, this skin you don't like. i believe so why do you try so hard to achieve by burning yourself in the sun? for me, there's no diane abbott's climbed on board. >> to be fair, she might have struggled to add up the number of ethnic minorities that we have let into britain every single year. >> that would give us, i think, 170. how sorry we would find the money, we would find the money because we'd look at capital
4:08 am
gains tax. the tories have cut capital gains tax and we want to restore it. and that would give us, i think, 170. >> yeah. the problem is this they've written to the home secretary now to try to pre—empt the government's border security, asylum and immigration bill. so do you think that yvette cooper and keir starmer would rather appease the people who think controlling immigration is racist, or people who want to actually control immigration? now, it is not racist to want to control your borders. and i and millions of other people are sick of being told that it is. let's get your thoughts on my panel now. the director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood. we've got landlord and activist adam brookes and of course, as well we've got journalist and broadcaster nina myskow. mark, i'll start with you on this. what do you make of these these 25 mp5? what do you make of these these 25 mps? they're chiming in and
4:09 am
saying that that our immigration laws are inherently linked to racism. >> even worse than that , >> even worse than that, patrick, they're saying that you can't decouple immigration policy and racism. and i would say that we must decouple the two things. it's completely extraordinary. i mean, they haven't said this in terms , but haven't said this in terms, but one sort of thinks that what they're leaning towards is the uk is about 80% caucasian. the world population as a whole is about 16% caucasian. and you sort of sense that subconsciously they think we'll be a racist country until we've got exact proportional representation of the united colours of benetton. and only 16% of people in the uk are white. it's nothing to do with race. i say , let's get back to race. i say, let's get back to martin luther king's doctrine that people should be judged by the content of their character , the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. and by the way, i wouldn't mind our immigration policy being based on that. if you judge it on the content of character and being colour—blind on the rest of it. quite.
4:10 am
>> and adam, you know, i do wonder whether or not it's quite concerning now because they've, they've made quite a big song and dance over this about writing to the home secretary. it's the head of some, you know, supposedly new immigration laws that we're, we're going to get. and i can't help but wonder whether or not our home secretary is going to be more inclined to listen to them , or inclined to listen to them, or the millions of people who actually want something done about the levels of immigration. >> and i think the home secretary will listen to them. we always said that labour was going to be woke and weak, and i think they're going to pander to this noise. can you imagine saying to the leader of china, to japan or nigeria, saying you're racist, you know, you've got too many of your own kind or, you know, ethnicity in your your country. you'd be laughed at. now why does britain everything has to be about race and colour and these, these mps, all i see from them is anti—white rhetoric. a lot of the time it sows division . it the time it sows division. it puts race relations back decades and it needs to stop what they were saying .
4:11 am
were saying. >> well, i mean amongst other things, to be fair, you know , we things, to be fair, you know, we need to make sure that something like the windrush scandal never happens again right now. now, yeah, obviously we do . but i yeah, obviously we do. but i don't know if we can really, in all honesty, say that our current immigration laws are inherently racist . inherently racist. >> are they not necessarily inherently racist? but the windrush scandal is the key to this whole thing , because they this whole thing, because they want to make sure that nothing like that would ever happen again. and the truth is that the policies that produced the windrush scandal are still there, embedded in the home office. they are, they are. they haven't been. the laws haven't been changed at all or the policy hasn't been changed. the report on this was was suppressed until recently. the hostile environment which, which which made that meant that life was made so impossible they would make people go back home. well, the trouble was these people were already home. they've been living here for 40 years. and there was an enormous scandal . let's just work out.
4:12 am
scandal. let's just work out. can we just quickly say what the windrush scandal is? because i think everyone knows what the windrush scandal is. i don't think they necessarily do. i mean, this is these are the people who came here on the windrush. yeah. at the after the end of the to war help build britain up. yeah. as part of the commonwealth. they were then given citizenship and allowed to live and work here. >> exactly, exactly, exactly. and then and then unfortunately we ended up deporting some of them wrongly . them wrongly. >> more than that, they ruined lives. they ruined get jobs. they couldn't get medical. >> well, what's what's the law? you want changed then, nina? >> i don't want a law changed. >> i don't want a law changed. >> but you're saying the same laws are still in place. so what do we need to change? >> policies have not. have never been revoked. are they in? >> this is the thing, though, because, mark. look, i look at it now. we've only deported something like 3% of channel migrants in the last six years, so that doesn't seem particularly hostile. as far as i can gather. i just wonder whether this is a classic attempt of people who really, if you scratch the surface, fundamentally believe in open borders to use a historic wrong or an example of a wrong which has not yet been righted, right to try to influence current
4:13 am
policy, that's exactly it. >> so the windrush thing, i think you'd find the four of us would actually agree on what a disaster nightmare and how immoral it was. but we are now going back a few generations. but i mean, this is a bit like saying we've got to go and fight the germans in terms of the history of it. >> there are still people who have not been compensated that are waiting for people to die off before they get the money, but that's not to do with a 2024 immigration policy. >> justice should be served, recompense should be given. but thatis recompense should be given. but that is nothing to do with what our immigration policy should be here in october 2024 to new people coming in, we're not only fighting yesterday's war. if we look at that as being the basis of our present immigration policy, we're fighting a war with three generations ago. no we're not. >> we're talking about people who live here who have have recompense them. >> but how does that inform what our policy should be? >> the other thing they called for was for the compensation to be paid. >> these are the same sort of mps that would want to go back and pay reparations for things that happened 300 years ago. >> i'm talking about 300 years,
4:14 am
adam. we're talking about a few decades ago. >> let him talk at the end of the day, they're our borders and we are filling up and services are failing. you know, society is failing as a whole. we need to put the walls up and we need to put the walls up and we need to have stronger immigration laws. the dominican republic have just started mass deporting haitians. are they racist? come on. why can every country in the world, germany, have just started deporting syrians and afghanistan from people from afghanistan, deported people from afghanistan? why is there no mass shouting from the left of them? why is it always britain? why are we always racist? and it's always these type of people that want to label us. adam, you can't talk about immigration because you're racist. no, i'm just a worried father that doesn't want to bnng father that doesn't want to bring kids up in, you know, with people that i don't know that are coming over and you don't care whether they're black, white or anything in between, right? >> yeah. same here. it is about the quantum and the type and,

you know, for all of the, you know, history, it is about what sort of immigration policy do we need today. and we've got to understand the country. the uk is a bit like joining a club. and if you want to join the club, you've got to abide by the club, you've got to abide by the club rules. whatever your colour is. >> do you know, do you not think that some of the people around greater manchester, as the people around birmingham, around luton and around london, would be quite shocked to learn that our immigration policies had discriminated against people who were non—white , i think were non—white, i think everybody would be shocked to learn that because we absolutely did. >> we did do that and why? >> we did do that and why? >> why did it look like that around certain parts of the uk? >> so you're saying that certain parts of the uk look more black than white? >> no, that's totally true. >> no, that's totally true. >> that's a fact. and what i'm not saying, by the way, and i want to know what is wrong with that. >> no, there's nothing wrong with it. you know, that's not what i'm saying. my point is that it indicates that maybe we haven't been discriminating. >> it proves our point, not theirs. >> windrush has were people who were completely discriminated against. >> that was the windrush. >> that was the windrush. >> yes, but that's thousands ,
4:16 am
>> yes, but that's thousands, thousands of people. >> but that's that's a that's about justice and compensation. that's not about today's immigration policy. >> because the policy, the policies are still within the framework. so that's why they're asking the framework policy. >> which policy do you want changed the policies that do that discriminate against one against black and asian, which policies? >> we don't well we don't. well why did they discriminate against the windrush people. >> that's 60 years ago. >> that's 60 years ago. >> no, it's not 60 years ago. it is not the hostile environment policy was instituted in 2012. >> so which is the particular clause of which. >> and that's because we have got a bad immigration problem that needs to be sorted out. >> i agree that everybody knows that. you're not very clever to say that, because everybody knows i'm not very clever to say that. but no, because one thing is this these, these labour mps are the same, understands that these labour mps are the same mps that would fight brexit. >> and as you said in your monologue, brexit opened up the to world people of colour, not just, you know, preferential treatment for immigrants from
4:17 am
the eu. these same people tried to stop brexit to make their minds up. >> what are we sweeping statements here? you can't say they're all you know. you know, you you you tout these things as facts, but you don't know that all labour people thought that or all leftwing people, although you could see that those 25 mps include none or very few brexiteers. >> so what? so it's about a world view that proves my point. >> it doesn't prove your point at all. >> it's about a world view. >> it's about a world view. >> prove your point. and i want to go back to a point. earlier we said that they're talking against white people who has spoken out against white people. >> well, to be fair, dawn butler did appear to do something which which which appeared to suggest that black people were of a superior race. now, she might deny that, but some of the lyrics of the poem were like, you're the weird one, i am the chosen one. all of that stuff which, which. >> and i can have the opinion that i feel like it's anti—white rhetoric. >> well, you know, that's that's one woman doing a kind of poetic thing. and there are, there are
4:18 am
all sorts of well, let's just let's just be colour—blind and get serious about the issue, which is essentially about economics, demographics and numbers. >> yeah . and what they really >> yeah. and what they really want is from what i can gather anyway, is for our current home secretary to openly acknowledge in the framing of whatever immigration or border laws she is about to submit to the house of commons, that there has always been and will always be a linking to immigration laws and racism. >> and it's vital that yvette cooper states exactly the opposite, that our immigration approach will be colour blind, not only decoupled from it, completely detached. >> that's what they said. >> that's what they said. >> they can't be. they can't be uncoupled. they're saying they can't be uncoupled. >> it's been proven. all right. >> it's been proven. all right. >> okay, well we're going to the home office report proved it. >> all right. okay. >> all right. okay. >> we will be back with you . we >> we will be back with you. we will be back with you in a few minutes time, because we're going to have all the tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but yes, yet again, it's time for the great british giveaway, your chance to win the equivalent of an extra three grand in your

4:21 am
4:22 am
4:23 am
4:24 am
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. i've got all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages very shortly. but first, a bit of a shock today. james cleverly was out of the tory leadership contest, which meant that kemi badenoch and robert jenrick are left to battle it out. badenoch finished in first place with 42 votes from tory mps. gemerek . votes from tory mps. gemerek. well, it was a close second, wasn't it? 41. so a rizla paper between them. but the result has sent shockwaves through westminster. james cleverly won 39 votes in comparison to jenrick's 30 and badenoch 31.
4:25 am
that was that was the last round of voting. but nevertheless, tory members will now have to decide between badenoch and jenrick . online voting for tory jenrick. online voting for tory members, i believe, opens tomorrow. so the new leader will then be announced on the 2nd of november. i'm joined now by former tory minister steve baken former tory minister steve baker. now, steve, you've you've kept your powder dry on telly so far, haven't you? you've kept your cards close to your chest. but who are you going to back? >> i shall vote for kemi and with a good heart too. why? because she's authentic and she's got a ferocious passion for what she believes. so i think for a long time the conservative party's been all over the place because it's kind of lacked an intellectual keel. it's forgotten what it believed and sort of followed polls rather than trying to lead them . rather than trying to lead them. and what kemi does is she truly believes in conservative ideas, and she she argues for them with great passion . and it's that great passion. and it's that authenticity which for me tells, tells me it should be. kemi. >> what robert jenrick certainly wants to make this about and it may well turn out to be this
4:26 am
way, is essentially a decision for the tory membership over whether or not they want to leave the echr. >> well, yeah, but that's a couple of things about that. first, the uk leaving the echr is not itself the policy objective. the policy objective is to control immigration and in particular illegal migration. now, we might need to leave the echr, but she?
4:27 am
of a year or so ago, wasn't she? >> well, i think you'll find that if kemi wins, she controls migration. the idea that anyone could lead the conservative party into a general election without pledging to control migration and get the numbers down, that is fanciful. >> unless you were pledging, pledging that when you were in office. steve. >> yeah, well, conservative parties cried wolf for too long, and that is one of the problems that we've had. that's one of the reasons why we earned the hiding that the electorate gave us. so yeah, you're absolutely right. it's got to be sorted out andifs right. it's got to be sorted out and it's going to be a long journey, a tough journey to persuade the public that this time we're going to get numbers down. >> look, i can see the appeal 100% by the way, of keir starmer having to stand at the despatch box opposite kemi badenoch every wednesday and her kind of, you know, sitting him on her knee and knocking him around a little bit. i think most people would quite enjoy seeing that in the way that she's done with angela raynen way that she's done with angela rayner, etc. a concern, possibly for kemi badenoch, is that maybe sometimes she puts her foot in it a little bit. we had the maternity pay comments, didn't we, at a conference. i know she feels they were misrepresented,
4:28 am
but the point was that for the next couple of days, it was all about that in the media. do you really want another leader where they come out and they say something and then you end up cleaning up after them? >> no, you don't want that. obviously you don't want that. but that's a choice that she it's a choice for her to deal with that. i mean, we all have to engage brain before we speak. and in an interview like this, obviously it's a dynamic conversation. and i'm sitting here all the time thinking, what do i do? i really want to say that do i want what you know? and you've just you've just got to manage what's going on in your brain and make sure that you're only taking on fights for which you're well prepared and that's obviously what went wrong with the maternity pay . and that with the maternity pay. and that to me. yes, of course, you've got to be able to communicate well, but that to me is a problem that can be dealt with. but it's a choice for her to just decide that she's not going to do that anymore. but the thing for me that the thing you can't fix in a politician is true belief. you know, they say there's two kinds of politicians. the windsocks, who believe whatever they need to believe, depending which way the
4:29 am
wind is blowing and the signposts. and she's a signpost. so you read between the lines there, steve, you don't entirely believe everything that robert jenrick says now, because he's he he would deny this, but i suppose you could argue that he's had a slight transformation, i think i think, in fact, i kind of know, having spoken to him, i think his angle really is that he's kind of crystallised by actually being in the home office and seeing seeing the scale of the problem . well, i scale of the problem. well, i would take robert at face value. he's a good man and i'd take what he says in good faith. and i've obviously known him since he was elected, and i hope i haven't ever had a bad word to say about him. but i mean, obviously it's true that this observation that he has shifted his position. but equally, if you can't in life learn something and move what you believe, then really you're not on a journey like anyone ought to be. so, you know, i think i'll forgive somebody changing their views. but the thing for me, i have watched closely for 14 years as tory leaders really haven't believed, with enough sort of conviction, what they were doing. and the result is that the ship of state gets tossed about. so for me, kemi is a true believer in solid
4:30 am
conservative principles. somebody who wants renewal . somebody who wants renewal. she's the person for me and i will back her wholeheartedly . will back her wholeheartedly. >> does she win voters back from reform? because that's a big issue. >> well , she'll have to, but >> well, she'll have to, but she'll have to do more than that. she'll have to win back conservative voters who went to the lib dems or went to labour in somewhere like wickham. you know, almost half of my previous voters, conservative, previous voters, conservative, previous voters stayed at home in disillusionment. yeah, that's a problem. and you know , people problem. and you know, people have got to come out. they've got to come back from the lib dems. it's a it's a very, very steep and tough road very quickly, very finally on this. >> and you said if you lost, which unfortunately you did. sorry about that . but you, you sorry about that. but you, you would spend your days skydiving . would spend your days skydiving. >> i think motorcycling fast catamaran sailing. >> yeah, yeah. truth is quite the best response. to be fair, you kept it pg. but how are you getting on with all of that? >> well, i can't go skydiving because i've had the covid 100 day cough and if i adopt the position, i start coughing. so i haven't skydived, but i've fidden haven't skydived, but i've ridden my motorcycle around scotland with one friend and
4:31 am
wales with another. i'm having a good time. i'm starting a company, i'm signing up to another one. so i'm having a good life. >> good stuff. well great to see you and all the best. i hope to see you again. very , very soon. see you again. very, very soon. thatis see you again. very, very soon. that is steve baker there. right. well, on this note, gb news will be hosting a live debate with the final two tory candidates. it's kemi badenoch. it's robert jenrick. it's as it stands, i believe the only televised debate between these two, and it's going to be on the 17th of october at 7:00 pm. i'm going to be watching that debate with my very own audience right here in the studio. and i would like you to come and join me. so go to w ww, dot sro audiences dot com to sign up. i'm going to get reaction after the debate from a panel of political heavyweights. i'm yet to ask steve, but maybe i will when we go to an advert break and my own superstar panellists as well allison pearson, lord bailey and matthew laza, you can be a part of all of that. so come on, go and get your tickets now before they sell out. but coming up, we're going to have all of the front pages for tomorrow. i'll bnng front pages for tomorrow. i'll bring you them next. and millions of evacuated as hurricane milton is hurtling
4:32 am
towards florida. one man, who's been nicknamed lieutenant dan, is refusing to go. >> god told me to come out here and get a boat. i came out here and get a boat. i came out here and got a boat and everything they've been telling me over the last two days is i'm doing the right thing. he's got my back. i'm in good shape. i ain't sweating it. >> i've an update from dan to bring you in a couple
4:33 am
4:34 am
4:35 am
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. and i've got the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. so here they are. the metro tory fight veers to the right leadership contest. shock. they say we've spoken about that. it's going to be a close run thing. now between robert jenrick and kemi badenoch and the i workers get right to flexible working . under right to flexible working. under new rayner law, employers must give one of eight reasons for refusing to allow them, i believe, to work from home more. i think it is essentially a flexible working can include
4:36 am
starting later or allow for taking children to school as well. other childcare reasons . well. other childcare reasons. so there we go. let's go to the daily express now . winter fuel daily express now. winter fuel pensioners now face a tax raid. pensioners are going to lose the winter fuel payments, and they're also going to be apparently an extra 120,000 people being hit with tax demands for the first time, as this is a freeze in the amount of income allowed before the tax man claws the cash away. so more retirees are going to be clobbered with this. it's a never ending whammy for pensioners. the guardian pm's vow to end austerity needs a £25 billion tax rise. so you know , billion tax rise. so you know, here we go. oh, what's on the telegraph? same thing . £25 telegraph? same thing. £25 billion tax rise. pain is on the way. that's what the ifs is . way. that's what the ifs is. warning the institute for fiscal studies. i mean , it's hard to studies. i mean, it's hard to see how they do all of this without hiking taxes to be honest. but there we go. let's go to the sun. they're going to round us off with cooper, admits
4:37 am
wembley. jolly swift gate, home secretaries free gig after pressing for vip police escort. look, we spoke about this at 9:00, so if you're just joining us, i'll. i'll fill you in on it a bit. but the home secretary went to watch taylor swift for free because her husband had balls. got free tickets from taylor swift's music label on the day that yvette cooper went to watch taylor swift, it is reported that taylor swift got a taxpayer funded police escort thatis taxpayer funded police escort that is normally reserved for the likes of the royal family , the likes of the royal family, etc. it's not a great look . it etc. it's not a great look. it is, of course, denied that there was any wrongdoing in all of that. but again, it's not a great look and i am going to introduce my panel again here onto this. now, i think we should start to be honest with you. it's kind of all rolled into one, the £25 billion tax rise. but also what's on the front of the express, which is winter fuel pensioners now face tax raid. so when keir starmer said during the election when he wasn't telling us what his dad
4:38 am
used to do, he was saying i won't tax working people . i won't tax working people. i actually now just think whether or not he should have just said i am going to grind pensioners into the dirt. >> well, i mean, they sort of go arm in arm, don't they? once politicians of any stripe rule out, i'm not going to tax a, b or c, you pretty much know they are going to tax d and f. it's worth pointing out though, here on the. my understanding i haven't read the express, but the issue here is that people on the issue here is that people on the state pension are being dragged into paying income tax. and that is true because we've frozen the threshold. so it's about 12,500 pounds a year there or thereabouts. you start paying income tax. well, if you do keep the triple lock on state pensions, eventually more and more people are going to get dragged into that band. so it's in part a reflection that the state pension has become more and more generous. but tying that in with the 25 billion, patrick, you said , well, you patrick, you said, well, you know, god only knows how they balance the books without this tax rate. i still think we're
4:39 am
looking at the problem down the wrong end of the telescope. pubuc wrong end of the telescope. public spending is out of control. it is unsustainable. yeah . tax is probably can't go yeah. tax is probably can't go up much more. this tax rate will probably scare off as much economic activity as it will tax. and that is a huge problem. and labour actually politicians of all stripes have got to be honest. we've got to get spending down when we go into a bit of detail on this and i'll put this to you, adam. >> so the institute for fiscal studies, the ifs, has said that the chancellor's pledge to protect government spending meant that she was on course for a tax raising budget that could surpass the post—election raids launched by both gordon brown in 1997 and george osborne in 2010. this is stark. they've warned that it would push the tax burden up to 37.9%, its highest share in peacetime. that's astonishing, isn't it? >> it is astonishing, and it's worrying because, again, when i speak to people, they are so
4:40 am
negative about the future of this country . negative about the future of this country. now we negative about the future of this country . now we need to this country. now we need to grow our way out of the problem and the hole that we're in. all that labour are going to do is dig us further. targeting the pensioners . it's unforgivable. pensioners. it's unforgivable. there's so many worried out there. again, if we'd known this before the election, they wouldn't have got the landslide that they got. so they really were really lying to us pre—election. >> there's another there's another thing buried in this as well, which i've just seen now. so rachel reeves is expected to announce yet a tax hike on pensions , capital gains and pensions, capital gains and inheritance tax as well. i mean, nina, if they'd have said they were going to do this when they got elected, that they wouldn't they wouldn't have been elected dunng they wouldn't have been elected during the election campaign. >> they would have been elected because nobody was going to elect re—elect the tories. the tories have made such a complete mess of everything. and the reason all this pain is going to be inflicted. if all that's
4:41 am
true, this is supposition. this is not fact, this is supposition. people are theorising about how they're going to do this. >> well, the institute for fiscal studies, which is quite good. but it's not just me. >> that's their job. they've got to come up with a good guess. but it's still a guess, isn't it? i bet they do. well, you can bet all you like, but nobody knows until the until rachel reeves stands there and says, this is what's going to happen. and the point being that that all of this has been caused by the last 14 years because there is no you're right about growth. of course we need growth. but how come there was no growth under the under the tories? this is just ridiculous to blame everything on labour. yeah, they have got to sort the mess out. >> part of the reason there was no growth under the tories, nina. and i'd say this as a member of the conservative party is the conservatives spent too much and taxed too much. and if you have colossal government spending going up and up and up and tax is going up as they did under the conservative government, you are unlikely to get growth. now. the labour party, the labour party has looked at this failed strategy and has decided to double down
4:42 am
on it. we don't know that yet. all right. we're speculating on the basis of this newspaper story, but i will bet you any money you want that taxes will go money you want that taxes will 9° up money you want that taxes will go up and spending will go up. and that was the great failure of 14 years of conservative government. >> how else would you do it then? >> i'd go spending down. >> i'd go spending down. >> well, how would you do that? >> well, how would you do that? >> what would you cut your spending on the welfare budget at £230 billion is kwasi of the welfare budget. >> the pensioners? i'd sack about 100,000 civilians. >> the triple lock on pensions. >> the triple lock on pensions. >> there you go then. that's interesting, isn't it? >> yeah. i would end the triple lock on pensions. okay. >> and taking money out of my pocket by saying that. >> well yes, we've got to get spending down. you can't just say that as a wish. you've got to start to say the poor old pensioners. >> let's bring out our violins and then say i'm going to cut the. >> i didn't say that. i didn't say that you didn't. >> i'm paraphrasing. >> i'm paraphrasing. >> we've got to have a serious discussion about how the £12 trillion that the government spends every year is cut to something like a trillion. now we can argue about to where
4:43 am
prioritise for the disabled. >> are you going to cut back? >> are you going to cut back? >> i'm not present. you were just saying that rachel reeves has got. i'm not presenting a budget. we need to agree. we need to save about 200 billion some way or other. >> can i just bring him into this because. because if when i look at things like this, i just think loads of people are going to leave the uk. oh, god. >> you know, i would leave the uk if i had the funds and the ability to take my three kids out, not just for safety, because i think this country is going downhill fast under under this regime. now, the thing is, what worries me, this these tax hikes and this doom and gloom from this budget that is going to hit very soon, is going to hit consumer confidence that means people are not going to come to the pub and spend their money. they're not going to go to the shops and spend their money. we are going downhill very fast and you're going to see a lot of bankruptcies, a lot of insolvencies in the early part of next year and this is going to get very, very messy happening under the conservatives guys. >> we are conservatives for years now. years how. >> years now.
4:44 am
>> we're going to have to get on because because important stuff, this important stuff. we're going to go now across the pond to florida. hurricane milton is expected to be the biggest hurricane in a century. it's hurtling towards florida. millions of residents have evacuated. they're bracing for the worst, and it's supposedly going to hit landfall in under two hours time. but one man is refusing to leave. meet lieutenant dan. >> god told me to come out here and get a boat. i came out here and get a boat. i came out here and got a boat and everything they've been telling me over the last two days is i'm doing the right thing. he's got my back. i'm in good shape. i ain't sweating it. >> so he's on a boat in tampa harbour and people thought he would just leave once it got really bad, but he hasn't. he's still there tonight, dad. we need an interview. >> there he is. there's our guy. oh, look at him i yayi oh, look at him! yayi >> how oh, look at him! yay! >> how are we doing? get the. get the people an update. >> so far, so good. we're staying on this side of the pole, but it's actually still
4:45 am
low tide. if you. >> he says it's still low tide when it's in three hours. high tide . but his when it's in three hours. high tide. but his boat when it's in three hours. high tide . but his boat is on the concrete. >> let's just show you some live images that we've got at the moment from florida. oh, well, i'll tell you what. i'm in florida as well. look at me. look at that. oh , there we go. look at that. oh, there we go. all right. okay, so that is that is florida. there , which is in is florida. there, which is in clearwater, florida, or sarasota, florida. there we are. and i mean , look, it's well, and i mean, look, it's well, it's supposedly going to get a heck of a lot worse than that. guys. what do you reckon to lieutenant dan there. has he been a bit selfish? someone might have to come and rescue him. >> yeah, i think he is. look, each to their own. i'm a live and let live kind of person. but it seems to me that the guidance and the prediction is pretty clear here. and you are being foolhardy, i think to behave in this fashion and, you know, there is an expense on other people. you're not just you're not just taking that risk yourself. so, you know, i sort of in some ways admire the
4:46 am
bravery, but it seems to me sheer folly as well. >> stupidity that that is having a death wish that boat could end up three miles inland by tomorrow. >> yeah. not not a fan of lieutenant dan. look, we're gonna have to take this break because i've got to. we've got to bring you the rest of tomorrow's newspaper front pages and reveal greatest britain and jackass. >> so tuned.
4:47 am
4:48 am
4:49 am
okay. welcome back. look, just before i get to the last couple of newspapers, there was obviously a little bit of confusion just before we went to the break there. we were hoping to speak to someone who is in florida, live about the nature of the hurricane that's hitting there. and we also were due to have a couple of live feeds. well, unfortunately, the live feeds appear to have gone down. this is as that hurricane is hitting land and unfortunately we couldn't actually get through any more to the person we were hoping to talk to. so we do hope that they're okay. but it does appear that things are indeed very, very serious in florida. so we'll bring you more updates as we get it. and let's just go to the last couple of papers now, the times threat of £25 billion tax bomb after reeves vow. well, we've spoken about this already. the yvette cooper freebie for taylor swift, of course, is also leading the way there. the daily mail business fury as labour's revolution for workers. this is essentially making it easier, well, for workers to sue for unfair dismissal from day one. flexible working to be default for all a

red tape nightmare, they say that will kill jobs. so much for starmer's growth agenda. i mean, look, it does appear at face value to favour people who, you know, would be quite keen to sit on their backside and do as little work as possible all day. but anyway. right, we're going to go straight to great britain and union, jackass. now who's your greatest britain, please. >> it's collective. britain's millionaires . >> it's collective. britain's millionaires. i think we >> it's collective. britain's millionaires . i think we don't millionaires. i think we don't praise our millionaires enough. we've talked about all of this sort of tax black hole. all of the rest of it. how are we going to finance public services? we gear our tax position to take as much as possible from the rich. unfortunately , millionaires are unfortunately, millionaires are now fleeing britain at a faster rate than any other country in the world, bar china. let's actually give them a bit of praise and let's try and attract more of them to britain. >> i am not a millionaire and probably never will be, but what i will say is, it seems quite perverse that we say we demand so much money from them, and then treat them like absolute dirt. we need more. >> we need more of them. >> we need more of them. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> all right, go on then. mine

this . in my defence, i have, this. in my defence, i have, i think, gone for both bridget phillipson and rachel reeves. probably at least five times each in the last. in the last few weeks , and i back that few weeks, and i back that deservedly so. i could have very easily have gone for them again tonight. but i do think this wagatha christie thing that massively gets on my proverbials, you know, the idea, the legal bills, the cost, the time, the effort for no minibars for nothing, for no reason. so two wags can just go at each other in a court. honestly, just let it go. it's pathetic . let it go. it's pathetic. >> but also, if footballers weren't paid such ludicrously grotesque salaries, this would never happen or generate that money. >> they do generate . they'll be >> they do generate. they'll be fleeing the country too. >> so let's be honest, wayne rooney, you know, can no longer tell his missus to not do stuff like this on account of the fact that he's no doubt still very sorry about a load of other stuff. right? okay. well done everybody. thank you very much. i've had a great show this evening. i've thoroughly enjoyed it. i will see you tomorrow at 9

morning. there will be some outbreaks of rain. could be the odd heavier burst, but most of this will clear through as we go through the morning for central parks. things brightening up quite quickly and also some decent bright sunny weather across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. but all the time there will be some showers around . the will be some showers around. the showers will be most likely in areas exposed to that northerly wind, so parts of northern ireland, northern scotland and down the eastern side of england and scotland as well. but even a few showers are possible elsewhere. we may see 1 or 2 showers developing in some inland places too, but for many it is going to be a much drier day than the last couple of days, and it's going to be a bit brighter. but like i said, we do have that cold air pushing its way in, so temperatures markedly lower and feeling pretty cold indeed, especially in those brisk northerly winds. as we go towards the end of the week and a bit of a north south split, developing wetter weather across northern parts of scotland, seeing some outbreaks of rain, perhaps some wintriness over the higher ground, staying drier and brighter across the southern two
