8:06 pm
huge respect for you. what i, i think i said, or what i meant. >> to say. >> to say. >> is that i think you were using lazy transphobic arguments, but i don't i don't mean to discredit you in any way. >> honestly. >> honestly. >> you just smeared her. >> you just smeared her. >> no no. >> no no. >> no no no television. >> no no no television. >> did i not just apologise? >> did i not just apologise? >> no, no. say you could say sorry. >> what? >> what? >> i mean. >> i mean. >> i mean. >> i don't think you did apologise. actually. >> no. >> no. >> say sorry. >> say sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> that's a first for gb news. >> that's a first for gb news. >> but we'll continue to have these arguments and debates. >> won't we? this. >> won't we? this. >> is now our first question is from a man called david. and that's what my dad's called. and ihopeifs that's what my dad's called. and i hope it's not him. >> hi. i'd like to ask the panel >> hi. i'd like to ask the panel, do they believe that labour will be able to commence and complete any of their grandiose growth projects before
8:07 pm
the next election? or do you think that everything that they've done, it will be all hot air and actually nothing will happen and they will blame everybody for delays, etc? >> well. >> well. >> the short answer is no, because the only way they can think of growth is through big pubuc think of growth is through big public infrastructure projects, which aren't going to be finished until the mid 30s. the quicker way to find growth is through lower spending, lower regulation and lower taxes, and that's all anathema to the labour government. >> trump. trump. >> trump. trump. >> i think it's a really good question because of exactly that. lots of the growth initiatives that have been launched so far are super long term. you know, look at heathrow, the earliest we'll see a third runway is 2035, right. so they need to find these short term quick wins. and at the minute it looks like they won't find those. and i think you'll see new labour mps who are worried about keeping their seat in the next election actually causing
