>> ben. thank you. good evening . >> ben. thank you. good evening. it's just gone 9:00. these are your headlines. labour have no serious plan for ending illegal migration. that's the message from conservative leader kemi badenoch, who says we can no longer be naive. giving a speech a short while ago, she said the conservatives are to thank for a reduction in net immigration, expected to be confirmed tomorrow. the tory leader laid out her five point plan for tackling immigration, while admitting her party had got it wrong in the past. meanwhile, the prime minister has ruled out calling another general election after a petition calling for a rerun garnered over 2.8 million signatures. the petition on parliament's website calling for another election, has become the third most popular e—petition since 2010. easily surpassing the 100,000 signatures required for a debate to take place.

while the vast majority of those signing it are from the uk, it also gained support from other countries. donald trump ally elon musk used his social media site to highlight a petition calling for another election and branding the uk a tyrannical police state. downing street sources have told gb news that the government is not considering a blasphemy law. it comes after sir keir starmer faced questions from mps in the house of commons today, where he was urged to introduce blasphemy laws by labour mp tahir ali. mr ali called for action as he warned division and hatred can be fuelled in society by such mindless desecration. blasphemy laws were abolished in england and wales in 2008 and in scotland in 2021. in other news, seven people have now been arrested in london as part of a counter—terrorism investigation into suspected activity linked to the kurdistan workers party , to the kurdistan workers party, or pkk. a proscribed terrorist

organisation. the suspects, aged between 23 and 62, were detained under the terrorism act, with officers conducting searches at eight addresses across the city, including the kurdish community centre in haringey. police say there's no immediate threat to there's no immediate threat to the public, but the centre will remain closed for up to two weeks as the investigation continues. an increased police presence will remain in the area, with officers on hand to address any community concerns, and several people nominated to roles in donald trump's incoming cabinet and administration have been targeted by a bomb, threats and swatting. that's according to the fbi. police are investigating the incidents, which happened on tuesday night and early this morning. karoline leavitt, a spokeswoman for trump's transition team, said several people had been targeted and law enforcement acted quickly to ensure their safety. those are the latest gb news headlines. now it's back to ben

>> oh, hang on a minute. sorry. that was before the election when he was begging for your vote. sorry i forgot. since then, of course, he's taken away then, of course, he's taken away the £300 winter fuel payment for all but the poorest of pensioners and condemned millions of apps to freeze this winter. don't take my word for it either. when labour were accusing the tories of wanting to do the same thing when they were in government, they didn't. by were in government, they didn't. by the way, labour's own research suggests that up to 4000 pensioners would die as a result, and new research today from marie curie shows more than 40,000 terminally ill pensioners have lost their winter fuel allowance thanks to this government. energy costs can for double those with terminal illnesses. they need to constantly keep their homes warm to help relieve pain, to wash and dry clothes, to and charge and dry clothes, to and charge and run life saving medical devices and separate research from age. uk today reveals 55% of pensioners will turn down the heating or reduce the hours they use it this winter. around 1.2 million are also intending to reduce the number of hot meals they eat. can you believe that

in 2024 they are literally choosing to heat or eat? so what does the prime minister do? he shrugs. it off. >> the whole house is concerned about energy bills, which are actually lower this year than they were last year. the long term way to deal with this is clean power by 2030, to make sure we drive those energy bills down on a permanent basis. and that's what we will do on the winter fuel allowance. he knows very well what the government's position is and i've rehearsed it indeed with him many times . it indeed with him many times. >> let me remind you how much this widely hated labour policy is earning. treasury coffers £1.4 billion. let me remind you what labour is splashing other taxpayer cash on while our elderly freeze to death. £22 billion on a carbon capture programme that's hated by eco zealots and climate sceptics alike. £14 billion in foreign aid. £14 billion in public sector pay rises to the likes of train drivers already earning up to £60,000 a year and at least

at least £1 billion a year. housing asylum seekers. i never thought i'd see the day and i suspect many pensioners didn't ehhen suspect many pensioners didn't either. when those who have shed blood , sweat and tears for this blood, sweat and tears for this country decade after decade were treated with such disdain and callousness by those meant to be protecting them. well, let's get the thoughts now of my panel of popular conservatives, mark littlewood , businessman and littlewood, businessman and activist adam brooks, and the broadcaster judith activist adam brooks, and the broadcasterjudith da silva. broadcaster judith da silva. good evening panel. thank you for your company. welcome along, adam brooks. your thoughts on this , please. he spoke in this, please. he spoke in parliament today, the prime minister. and just as i said, shrugged it off. doesn't really care about the two surveys done today by marie curie or age uk pensioners literally freezing to death this winter. >> i can't believe again, as you said there, that we have got a government that is putting the lives of our elderly at risk. these elderly have helped shape this country and put into this country over many decades. this country over many decades. this country wouldn't be where it is

today without those generations. now again, 4000 could die. and that was their estimate. in 2017, a labour estimate . now 2017, a labour estimate. now pnces 2017, a labour estimate. now prices have 1497 00
