it private fireworks display. it was the only one that we could actually find in northern ireland. many of the councillors were too mean to run them and others have postponed them because they fear of the weather. and that is the difference between the private sector and public sector. many revellers have started arriving here at 9:00. behind me you can see them coming in and out of the bar. they're here to enjoy a good night. and at midnight we will have the piper and we will have the fireworks. >> i'm adam cherry here in london, where 45 mile an hour winds aren't putting off anybody. >> thousands already gathering here. sky will light up with those fireworks behind me at midnight. people are expecting a great show. we'll be here for all of it, so stay tuned. >> so get that english sparkling wine on ice. grab a glass. stay with us for our new year's eve party. >> over the next three hours, we've got the best guests and a few surprises. >> yes, it is the most exciting night of the year. we are delighted to be spending it with you. this is gb news new year's

eve live. from. >> it's 10 eve live. from. >> it's10 p.m. eve live. from. >> it's10 pm. live across eve live. from. >> it's 10 pm. live across the united kingdom as the countdown to 2025 begins. this is gb news new year's eve live. >> that's right. we are delighted to have your company this evening. as we ring in 2025, we're looking at live pictures there of london. we're going to be going to cities all around the country this evening with our reporters. scotland. the weather was supposed to be so bad patrick christys that the fireworks were cancelled. doesn't look that bad to me. >> we've got coats on half of

them, have they? got some? fire up the barbecue? ridiculous. >> scots are hardy people. they've seen worse. >> it's woke culture, isn't it? it is, isn't it? >> isn't it? well, listen, it's. we've got a three hours ahead of us, guys. big night. we've got a lot to talk about. we've got a lot to talk about. we've got a lot to talk about. we've got a lot to get through. at half ten tonight, sir keir starmer is going to be addressing the nation. now you were doing a show so you don't know. you may not know about this patrick. no we don't know what he's going to say. but obviously we will treat that with the irreverence that no doubt it deserves. >> happy new year to everyone apart from the far right. >> probably. >> probably. >> can i ask, is he live from his madeira swimming pool? he's on holiday at the moment, isn't he? >> he? > apparently he? >> apparently not. >> apparently not. >> apparently not. well, >> apparently not. well, he's already recorded this speech. >> so it was presumably in lord ali's house. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> who knows? >> who knows? >> or, well, decked out in madeira, you know. >> how how is he going to outdo his christmas message? >> yeah, easily. i would have thought. >> for anyone. >> for anyone. >> we're also going tonight. we're going to look at a bit of your wedding video. patrick and

emily. that's really exciting. isn't it a surprise? >> is that a thing that's happening? >> is it? you're going to be seeing that as well. and we just want to hear from you at home. the gb news family. we couldn't have got through 2024 without you and your amazing support. gb news. com forward slash your say. but let's first of all just have a think about what has happened this year. darren, let me start with you. highlights political highlights of 2024. >> i think a political highlight for me has to be the election of donald j. trump, to be honest, because i think it's going to have such a massive impact over here. you know, we all think, oh my goodness, what a year we've just been. things can only get better. as labour would say. well, in 2025. i think now there could be better. >> do you agree with my consensus that we're perhaps 4 or 5 years behind the us? so we're just starting our beau biden turn? >> exactly, yeah, i do i do agree with that. yeah, i would and i think we're in for exciting times. i think the local elections next year are going to be ones to watch, which is interesting actually

compared. >> i think we're talking about trump having an impact here. and then we go from the sublime to then we go from the sublime to the ridiculous to say, actually the ridiculous to say, actually the local elections are going to have an impact here. but that's because why? because reform might take a huge chunk out of some of those council seats. >> because, look, you need to have a local strategy before you build into a national one, right? the lib dems have been absolutely perfect at this, for goodness only knows how long since the disestablishment of the sdp. but you look at what reform are targeting, especially areas in the north east of england where, you know, my mother and nana will be watching right now in stanley, where you were patrick, not only watching, but i think we're going to see them later. >> i think they're going to zoom in. >> they are going to zoom in. yeah. they're zooming. so areas like that will be ones to watch, to see just how far reform can take it. because according to that mrp poll, they were saying that mrp poll, they were saying that in the north east it's ripe for the picking. >> and if we think, emily, about kind of, you know, the lowlights from 2024, because i think none of us around this table wanted keir starmer to get in and fail,

right. there might be some people who are very, very party political who wanted him to fail, but i think all of us around here, correct me if i'm wrong, patriots wanted him to come in and do a good job. we just want the country to be sort of dragged up into a place where we feel we can afford things, you know, going to the supermarket, all the things we feel want to be safe on the streets. it hasn't happened. and there's a whole long list of no. >> and let's be truthful here, a huge number of people put their trust into keir starmer. yes, it was a vote against the conservatives. but a lot of people thought, you know, keir starmer can make a good change to this country. and it's been winter fuel payments taken away from pensioners. it's been ideological pursuits against private schools for no real reason at all. it's been the farmers being raided for tax waspi women. it's been the waspi women who we all thought he meant change, changing the nation. >> he was asking you if you've got any change. that's what he was doing. >> when you stand up in a rose garden and tell the country that things can only get worse before they get better. exactly. i mean, you know, setting yourself up and patrick, you're on gb

news pretty much every night or i mean, you've had quite a good christmas actually, because darren grimes has literally been on gb news aukus gave you a few days off, which was good, but you must go on air every night and think, right, i want there to be some good news. >> there's something that they've done which has gone well. yeah. >> i mean, you could do you could very easily do two hours of. by the way, can i just quickly apologise for whatever i look like because i did get changed. i don't know if this actually. >> you look lovely. >> you look lovely. >> anyway, so i could do two hours of what this government has done that day. every single day. we're not allowed, of course, and it wouldn't be right to do that, but it does seem to me as though they keep scoring own goals. they don't. they don't see. i mean, the messaging is awful. you mentioned the rose garden there. you mentioned it's the lies though is the thing you know, is it lies, though, because they'd say £22 billion black hole tories did this, tories did that. >> is it miliband or. >> is it miliband or. >> is it miliband or. >> i mean ed miliband found £22 billion to spend on carbon capture in the north east didn't he. so you know, is there a use of our money, a fine use. yeah. to a norwegian company.

>> climate aid. 11 billion in climate aid. yeah. >> some of which go to the taliban. yeah. >> it's insane. >> it's insane. >> but you know what i mean. to make it relevant to today with these new years honours, i mean, keir starmer, who wanted to aboush keir starmer, who wanted to abolish the house of lords, who, you know, doesn't , wants to you know, doesn't, wants to decolonise things, or at least sadiq khan does. they're all willing to accept these gongs, aren't they? yeah. very interesting. >> i'm delighted to say that we're actually going to be joined down the line now by nigel farage. nigel, good evening to you. good evening. good evening. right. tell us where you are. what do you do on new year's eve? >> i'm on the coast. i'm on the east coast. and i'm not >> i'm on
