election she would not fiddle the borrowing rules she fought and won the general election with a certain set of plans, and within a matter of weeks she has pred within a matter of weeks she has ripped those up . and worse than ripped those up. and worse than that, she's ripped them up in america. she hasn't even had the courtesy of telling the house of commons. so these are broken promises, huge amounts of extra borrowing that were not disclosed during the general election . election. >> now, the king is expected to speak about the path of history when he delivers a landmark speech to the commonwealth leaders as momentum grows for a debate about slavery reparations. it comes as number 10 reiterated the uk's position io reiterated the uk's position and said, apologising for its role in the slave trade is not on the agenda. sir keir starmer remains clear that we should be facing forward amid mounting pressure from caribbean nations. however, the bahamas foreign minister says justice is about more than money. they say it's about addressing the lasting impact of slavery back in the uk , impact of slavery back in the uk, two former tory councillors in scotland have defected to reform uk, giving the party its first

elected politicians north of the border . the move elected politicians north of the border. the move comes as leader nigel farage issued a call for tory councillors to quit and join his party. reform said the decision by mark findlater and laurie carney, who both sit on the aberdeenshire council, demonstrated that the tory brand is broken across the uk . gb news is broken across the uk. gb news can reveal an imminent rise in channel migrant crossings, with numbers expected to exceed last year's total within just 48 hours. at least 400 migrants are anticipated to have made the journey by the end of today, following five boat arrivals this morning carrying over 250 people to the border force processing centre in dover. a further three small boats were seen heading towards uk waters by lunchtime, taking the number of arrivals so far this year to more than 29,000. and the government's proposed ban on smoking in pub gardens is on the bnnk smoking in pub gardens is on the brink of being dropped by sir

front runner. you perform very well in our head to head leadership debate. whatever it was, if there was a criticism of you, it might have been that you were a bit light on the policy detail. i can understand that four and a bit years in opposition. time to crystallise your minds. but what i wanted to do tonight was to try to put to you some of the biggest news stories of the week so far, so we can get a picture of if you were in opposition, what would what would come? you may not be saying about this stuff. okay, so look, the biggest story of the week has been the chris kaba story. i think this police officer who was found not guilty officer who was found not guilty of murder. do you think that the police have to do more to prove that they are not institutionally racist? and was the bbc right to say that the verdict traumatised the black community? >> so i do not believe in the use of this phrase, the black community. there are many different people who are black who have different views, different experiences, different ancestry . the idea that we're ancestry. the idea that we're all, you know, in a club somewhere, making decisions together, all think the same and believe the same thing. vote the

let's not mess things up with the sorts of things that we've been seeing where people are celebrating a criminal and pretending that he was a victim without talking about all the people who were his victims . people who were his victims. >> just on that manchester airport incident. i know that reform uk has said they're going to look at bringing some kind of private prosecution if nothing goes ahead. do you think that's right? >> well, i don't know enough of the details to see why a private prosecution would be needed. i think that this is something that was pretty obvious and should go through the courts in the in the normal way, should go thro
