criminal basis but there was no criminal basis or security basis on which to do it. >> i think maybe therefore it's a panic. do you want this this person pulling out, which generates an even bigger story? no. maybe not, but maybe she's played chicken and beat the government at their own game . government at their own game. >> no, she's a lovely girl. i don't think she would have let down her mum , her millions of down her mum, her millions of fans.i down her mum, her millions of fans. i don't think she would have let down that. thousands of fans. well, think of the money. it would have cost wembley concerts. >> the money would have cost her. >> well, exactly. think of the money it would have cost her, or the money we'd have lost though as well in hotels, private security, which can be paid for by a she's not a millionaire, she's a billionaire heiress. >> and it generated £1 billion for the economy. that concert as well. yeah. >> which is why the government probably won't. >> you know, she might be jumpy. we had the stabbing of the girls at the taylor swift dance concert as well, at school in southport as well. yeah. what? you know, what do her people know about? >> but it is significant that the prime minister yvette cooper was who? who else went? rachel? the mayor of fi harrison going. the mayor of fi harrison going. the mayor of london had free

tickets. they were all going to the cabinet, went to these concerts and it would have been more of an issue when i heard a vet had free tickets, i just thought, oh no, how have you been? >> soi been? >> so i think it would have been different if she had got the tickets. the fact that she's gone as the plus one of her husband, i think is an anomaly. but again , i think in isolation but again, i think in isolation this story wouldn't have been that big. the problem is it's following all the other stories, which for me goes all the way back to being quite bad at politics and not having a summer budget. >> gobsmacked to see starmer's mate, the attorney general, have been brought in. >> well, apparently that was because i was quite concerned emily thornberry didn't go, not not particularly a fan of emily thornberry, but damian mcbride, the man behind her, is a very, very competent person. despite the way he was sacked unceremoniously. yeah, exactly. but he's gone with he's gone in the house. so he's came in because he was very good on gaza, apparently. right. >> matthew torbett emma woolf. we've run out of time as usual. we're late for the news. yes. here's tatiana sanchez. >> we didn't get free tickets .

growth, when every community enjoys the fruits of wealth creation, it stops a country turning in on itself and against the world. and that in turn helps provide a stable foundation, breathing space for a country to take advantage of those opportunities for a better future for teenage idf soldiers have been killed and more than 60 wounded in a drone strike on an army base in northern israel. >> it's the deadliest attack on an israeli base since israel stepped up attacks on hezbollah in lebanon last month, lebanese terror group hezbollah have claimed responsibility for the attack. this comes as the un peacekeeping mission says israeli tanks have forcibly entered its base in southern lebanon . the health ministry lebanon. the health ministry there says 51 people were killed by israeli strikes across the country yesterday. the inquiry into how a british woman was fatally poisoned after being

and emily. what's coming up? >> big show today we've got the secretary of state for education coming on. bridget phillipson. >> oh, i'm jealous. >> oh, i'm jealous. >> and we've got a lot to ask her, actually, obviously, all hinged on the big investment summit that keir starmer has opened today, where global ceos have descended on the guildhall in london. but there's a few other questions we want to ask chris. >> please ask her about the tone of those tweets. >> i will ask her about the tone on the astroturf and not tennis. >> hockey? >> hockey? >> yes, yes, she'd like to use the facilities of the private school, yes, but of course not good for anyone else. yeah, we'll ask her about that. tweet went down very badly indeed, where she seems to gloat, sneering, sneering at private schools, and she seems to think that he or she at least wants to project that every private school is eton, but there's lots of questions over how that's going to be implemented. is it still going to be the 1st of january, despite the unions, tax experts, parents, military families, etc. saying it can't happen, then i don't know, but we'll be asking about that. and also schools like eton, they'll be able to get back some of the vat on their capital projects.
