couldn't run a bath. plus. >> as caribbean people, we are not going to forget our history. we don't just want to hear an apology, we want reparations. >> our attorney general allegedly advised caribbean countries about claiming reparations from britain. surely this guy has to go . this guy has to go. >> and unfortunately. >> and unfortunately. >> the prime minister has woken asleep in line and farmers don't like being lied to. we can only be lied to once and we won't give up. >> farmageddon i was at the protest today and i've got some bombshell footage for you. also tonight, illegal immigrants rounded up and put on planes, but find out how many hundreds of billions of pounds it will cost taxpayers for legal immigrants to stay in britain. and you're also paying for this? >> hirato tika ni dama talaq italki yo. >> yes, british taxpayers have spent £225 million to support

green growth in nepal as well as. a brand new porsche sports cars for albanian prisons. we need an inquiry into foreign aid. plus. >> today i got ready for the battlefield. i didn't get to finish my bronzer though, because i literally started getting shot at like, this is what i was wearing for the day. i can't believe they gave us these cargos for free because they are so cute. >> so half of 18 to 27 year olds think britain is racist, and apparently only 11% would fight for britain. what's going on in our education system and why is so controversial about this? on my panel tonight is journalist and broadcaster carole malone, former chairman of the tory party. sirjake berry, and ex labour party adviser matthew laza. oh, and the indian police have had enough of ed sheeran. >> now . metrics man. like, who

inheritance tax exemptions for working farms has reached nearly 150,000 signatures. labour has previously insisted it will not make a u—turn on its inheritance tax plan, saying that farmers are the backbone of britain. in other news, images of illegal migrants and foreign offenders being deported from the uk have been released for the first time today as the government confirms 19,000 foreign nationals have been removed from the country since labour came into 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 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. >> 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. mr ryan has apologised for unacceptable and deeply disappointing comments. ashley dalton, labour mp for west lancashire, has been appointed as a 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 , and also found to be a part of that whatsapp group, and us also found to be a part of that whatsapp group , and us president whatsapp group, and us president donald trump is set to impose

25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the us. steelmakers 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 today. it's in the best interests of both the uk and the us that the two countries carry on with their balanced trade, and those are the latest headunes and those are the latest headlines for now. more from me in an hour. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> good evening. welcome along. does our attorney general like britain? he's going to have to prove that quickly or he might be sacked. so our attorney general is a man called lord hermer, a man who was today

described as an arrogant, progressive fool who has to be sacked, that is, by a labour peen sacked, that is, by a labour peer. in his legal career, he has argued that shamima begum should come back to britain. he's represented gerry adams. he challenged the use of age checks for asylum seekers. he tried to help sri lankans come to britain as part of the chagos deal. i could go on all right. he was also a former executive member of the national union of students, apparently. so i think we maybe get a flavour for what kind of bloke he is. he's been a long term friend of prime minister keir starmer. in fact, sir keir reportedly gave the toast at hermes silk ceremony when he became a qc back in 2009. a couple of days ago, it was reported that this labour government is about to enter into a chat about slavery reparations with caribbean countries, which they have now denied. after all, the man who is now our foreign secretary is on record saying this. >> for people who have worked, paid their taxes, paid their

national insurance, and then denied nhs treatment. if you now have cancer, denied your pension, that you have contributed to, told that you are not now able to seek public funds, that you are not able to work in this country. i am afraid as caribbean people, we are not going to forget our history. we don't just want to hear an apology, we want reparation. >> good stuff. so the committee for caribbean reparations is coming to britain, apparently to demand our money. they never even tried it for 14 years under the tories , because the answer the tories, because the answer was a hard no. so why are they so confident that they'll get some money now? well, knock me down with a feather. it turns out that our attorney general, the prime minister's great mate, lord hermer, advised human rights lawyers a decade ago to prepare a legal case for slavery

reparations that caribbean nafions reparations that caribbean nations could bring against the uk. the plan for a legal battle was partly inspired by a 2013 case in which the british government was successfully sued by kenyan victims of torture dunng by kenyan victims of torture during the 1952 to 1960 uprising. that's according to the telegraph. well, can you guess who apparently acted as their legal counsel? yep. lord hermer again. i mean, his name just keeps popping up, doesn't it? every time there's a case against great britain. bingo. there's lord hermer. and here's the issue, though, when it comes to reparations, a 2023 report co—authored by a united nations judge says that britain owes around £18 trillion in reparations. lord hermer, who is now our top legal adviser, is described as an expert on international law. and in fact, he even said this about britain sticking to foreign european court rulings recently. >> i am proud to say that since

taking office, this new united kingdom government has taken steps to uphold our obligations and the international rules based system. the new united kingdom government will never withdraw from the european convention on human rights or refuse to comply with judgements of the court. >> so if ridiculous, bogus international law dictates that britain has to find £18 trillion in slavery reparations, what do you think labour's lord hermer is going to say we have to do? i'll just reiterate what labour peer maurice glasman said today. he has got to go. he is the absolute archetype of an arrogant, progressive fool who thinks the law is a replacement for politics. i mean, there is a cohort of people in british society who think they are more intelligent than the rest of us for supporting things like reparations. now, lord hermer will say that he was just doing his job, and he was acting in

the best interests of his clients. fair enough that he was abiding by the cab rank rule, and he simply took whatever cases came across his desk. and the government has said that he has declared all previous roles will recuse himself from any cases where he is conflicted and has ceased all private practice work. now, i accept that, but there seems to be a pattern in there seems to be a pattern in the cases that he once took. that to me would suggest something about his mindset. he strikes me as the type of guy that might have a little bit of a chip on his shoulder about, look, i don't know. i don't know, maybe not going to oxbridge anyway. when you weigh all of that up, i don't think our attorney general represents britain's values, and i personally think he has to go. let's get our thoughts on my panel this evening. of course, we are joined by daily express columnist carole malone. we've got former labour party adviser matthew laza and ex—chairman of the tory party, sir jake berry. carole, when it looks as though he might have done some legal advice for these caribbean nafions advice for these caribbean nations who are about to try to

claim something like £18 trillion off us and his back catalogue, you do wonder whether or not this guy has britain's best interests at heart? >> i don't think he does at all. i think he thinks brits are basically a bunch of imperialist, colonialist racists. you know, he he's he's a dangerous. you describe the progressive law. he's the dangerous progressive who also believes britain is wrong about everything. and i think he is abusing his position now as attorney general to right the wrongs of the empire as he sees it. and so he's he's keen on reparations. he wants that to happen, although they never have happenedin happen, although they never have happened in this country. and i think he does dislike britain. i think he does dislike britain. i think he does dislike britain. i think he dislikes us as a whole, and he certainly doesn't have our best interests at heart. you know, you just read out the utany know, you just read out the litany of he was a human rights lawyer. and i really, i really suspect people who've never been in politics who suddenly find themselves in opposition, you know, starmer parachuted him into that job on the day he won the election. and emily thornberry was standing by waiting for the call. never came. he got it. he ennobled him on the day and that that

parachuted into the laws and that enabled him to take up the job. so it seems to me these two former human rights lawyers are using their power in government to settle scores now, to settle their pet hates about this country. and it looks like it's. >> working, you know. are we being a bit harsh here? is it unfair to say that that maybe he doesn't like britain, or that maybe he doesn't have our best interests at heart? >> yes, i think it is a bit harsh. i mean, i can understand why people are worried about it because of some of the clients that he had previously. the government's made absolutely clear that reparations are a non—starter. downing street briefed journalists this weekend. that's absolutely not going to happen. and there was a newspaper story saying that they were going to be meetings. they completely denied that. i think homer is as patriotic as the rest of us, as keir starmer. >> as patriotic at all. >> as patriotic at all. >> oh, jake, i think, you know, i think he's got the best interests of the country at heart. he is a human rights lawyer. and i think, you know, he's he's learning that what the job of attorney general entails, which is not an activist. you are a representative. you must

know. >> you must know that inside government people are against him. they're saying, who does he think he is? he's forgotten what his job he is think he is? he's forgotten what hisjob he is stopping think he is? he's forgotten what his job he is stopping policy going through with law that he doesn't like. that's not. >> hisjob. there are doesn't like. that's not. >> his job. there are there are rumblings from you know, i talked to my friends in government. there are rumblings that he's taking a very exact approach. but on the other hand, it means that you're not going to get as many judicial reviews as you had under the tories, where people would run through a law and it would get challenged by the court because he was probably he was. >> probably representing them. look, what i don't understand about this labour government is why do keir starmer and all the people around him hate britain? they're ashamed of britain, they're ashamed of our legacy and history. of course, during their empire there were things that, you know, were terrible, but actually they were really positive things. that's why we've got such a strong relationship with india. india hugely appreciates things like british law, trade and commerce that we brought to that country. we have a prime minister and a government that is not patriotic and is ready to take the side of any group outside the united kingdom who want to gang up against britain, take the chagos islands. the fact that they

agreed to that deal on the chagos islands is a disgrace. how can a prime minister claim he is patriotic while at the same time giving. >> away under the. >> away under the. >> tories it was. but it was blocked by david cameron though, wasn't it? when david cameron came in, he blocked it. keir starmer gets in and immediately decides he wants to give away british sovereign territory to a to a government that is in the pocket of the chinese government. >> no. >> no. >> it's not protected. and the chagos. >> are now we hear the people his most senior law lord if you like not elected is has been campaigning for. >> and has. also acted for people. >> £2 trillion, not even the united states of america has that much surplus in it. >> just to cut it off at the pass, i suspect you're about to say so, so, so, lord herma and indeed many lawyers, including keir starmer, they make the argument that there's this thing called the cameron rule. so they are presented with the case. they take that case without fear or favour. you seem to be. >> it's not actually true. >> it's not actually true. >> if you're if you're a human rights lawyer, you go after cases like this and the things that he has, he he conducted a case with a group of sri lankans

who were seeking asylum on the chagos islands, and that's how he was involved in that. but the bottom line is you talk to a lot of i was watching some interviews today. a lot of the people on those islands don't want to be under the power of mauritius. they want to remain british. they're proud to be british. they're proud to be british. and yet and suddenly we're landing them with a country that is a thousand miles away from the mauritius. that's not that's part of that is pro—china. >> yes, matthew, which is that i do wonder whether or not there is a certain type of individual in britain, maybe a type of human rights lawyer in britain who does believe that they are genuinely, fabulously intellectual. and as a result of that, they think it's the intellectual position to take to be pro things like reparations, to be pro things like international law. they perhaps see it as a way of railing against the establishment without necessarily realising that they are the establishment. >> i think there is a sense of kind of what you might call liberal britain, which is not labour britain, you know, it's it is the islington dinner parties, which are often pretty critical of the labour party. i remember the last government

when we had the war in iraq, etcetera, when there were some of the government's biggest enemies. and so i think that there are certain people who do sort of position themselves against that homer, whatever he's done before is part of the government. he's part of collective responsibility.
