and criminals voters in contempt and criminals in cuff led against their will, onto a plane and out of the country? no, it's not a scene from donald trump's america. but here in labour's britain, what's dnven here in labour's britain, what's driven this? a welcome desire to be tough on immigration or something else? also, speaking of mps, they look set to get a pay of mps, they look set to get a pay rise, which would take them up to nearly £94,000. plus, of course, expenses and generous pensions. is this worth it or not? and farmers are back in town. labour still holding out. will they or should they relent? keeping me company tonight? very handy when it comes to discussing pay rises for mps. because i've got not one but two of them. rupert lowe reform, uk mp for great yarmouth, and barry gardiner, labour mp for brent west. before we get stuck in, let's cross live for your 6:00 news headlines.

>> michelle. thank you. the top stories. images of illegal migrants and foreign offenders being deported from the uk have just been released for the first time, as the government confirms 19,000 foreign nationals have been removed from the country since labour came to power. the unprecedented move is part of a drive by the new government to try to show it's taking tough action on those with no right to live or work in britain. however, only a tiny fraction of the thousands of deportations include those who crossed the engush include those who crossed the english channel illegally on small boats. home secretary yvette cooper says rules need to be respected. >> well, we need to prevent these dangerous boat crossings in the first place. that's why we are today in parliament debating new counter—terror style powers to go after the criminal gangs. and we also need to clear the ridiculous backlog that we inherited from the conservatives, so that also small boat arrivals who have no right to be in the uk can also

be returned as part of the increase in returns and enforcement that this labour government has been setting out, we have to make sure rules are respected and enforced. >> elsewhere, farmers from across the country have descended in westminster today in protest against the government's family farm tax. the rally, organised by save british farming, comes as a petition calling to keep current inheritance tax exemptions for working farms has reached almost 150,000 signatures. labour has previously insisted it will not make a u—turn on its inheritance tax plans, saying that farmers are the backbone of britain. >> i've got a rural constituency and i've spoken to my farmers about the potential impact of this incredibly poorly thought through policy, but but even if i didn't have a rural constituency, we all eat food and this is the food production industry. if we undermine this sector, everybody suffers. and this is an incredibly poorly

thought through, rushed, botched, ill conceived policy which will damage our food security, damage our rural economy, put a whole load of businesses out of business. and the best thing that the labour government could do is drop it completely right now. >> conservative mp james cleverly there. elsewhere, a second labour mp has been suspended from the party for comments made in a whatsapp group that saw a minister lose his job. group that saw a minister lose hisjob. burnley group that saw a minister lose his job. burnley mp oliver ryan has been suspended by labour over his membership of the whatsapp group containing offensive comments, the party said. mr ryan has apologised for unacceptable and deeply disappointing comments. meanwhile, ashley dalton, labour mp for west lancashire, has been appointed as the minister in the department of health and social care after andrew gwynne was sacked over the weekend. he was also found to be a part of that whatsapp group. a 50 year old man who fatally stabbed his teenage daughter in the heart

has been sentenced today. 50 year old simon vickers stabbed his 14 year old daughter scarlett, while he claimed they were play fighting in their kitchen. he's been jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after he was convicted of murder. delivering the sentence today, mrjustice murder. delivering the sentence today, mr justice cotter said vickers had never given a truthful explanation of what happened, saying the tragedy must have been down to vickers losing his temper. and us president donald trump is set to impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the us. steel makers in asia have warned the tariffs will impact profitability and volumes of steel. it's unclear whether president trump will make any exemptions on tariffs. labour minister dame angela eagle said earlier this morning it's in the best interests of both the uk and the us that the two countries carry on with their balanced trade, she said. and those are the latest gb news

take me with you if you need to go out because of course we are on the radio. what a treat. there's no escaping us and that is just the way we like it. now, i remember being told that when we got to the new government, it was going to be a massive clean up operation. this lot were going to be completely different. oh, that didn't last very long, did it? and the reason i'm sighing is because now we've had a second labour mp suspended by the party. this is all to do with long story short, all to do with long story short, a whatsapp group called trigger me timbers. essentially it was called and some of the goings on in this group that were not that great. it ranged from, in some cases saying f you to constituents that had the audacity to complain about bin collections. wishing some of these people dead. cyclists complaining that perhaps he might be mowed down by a lorry. responses coming. you know, basically, if only we would be that lucky sexist or racist stuff, anti—semitic stuff, you

name it. why would mps barry even be part of these kind of groups making these kind of comments? >> i have no idea. i think what people really hate is the idea that you present one face in pubuc that you present one face in public and in private. you're a completely different person now. there's a role for privacy, right? don't get me wrong. if you're discussing policy and you are wanting to debate the merits of a policy that you're thinking about and you disagree, there's about and you disagree, there's a role for that debate to be had in private, but not when you're trading insults, not when you're you're dissing your your colleagues or your or your constituents. and that is just about basic respect for other people. it doesn't matter whether they're your constituents, whether they're your political opponents. i mean, look, you know, rupert and l, mean, look, you know, rupert and i, we disagree, but i hope i never say something that is disrespectful about him, and i

hope he doesn't say anything disrespectful about me. we can disagree and we can do it courteously. >> there's a guy called gerald cooney. he's the former labour leader of tameside council. he says that he flagged this group and the contents of it, and the members of it and all the rest of it. he says he flagged concerns repeatedly, for example, over a year ago, why didn't labour act then? >> that's what i want to know, because apparently they put that up to the regional office 15 months ago and it is totally unacceptable. i don't know whether that was passed on to labour hq or whether it was sat on at the regional office, but the investigation should not just be about those people who were in the group. it should be about the question should be about the question should be about those people who actually knew what had taken place and failed to act. >> so these guys, they obviously to put it basically they can't stand the electorate. if you're going to talk about them in that

way, do you think they've got any business remaining as mps? >> look, i haven't seen the full quotes, right. in fact, i'm i'm advised that i don't want to see the full quotes. somebody 1503 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,
