for free because 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 >> now. metrics man. like, who is this? >> and can you tell me what is going on on this alaska airways flight? >> i go up her hair, sir. >> i go up her hair, sir. >> get ready britain. here we go.
3:01 am
is it time for the attorney general to get the boot next? >> patrick, thank you very much. the top stories. chancellor rachel reeves has faced calls for meaningful tweaks to planned inheritance tax on farmland from labour backbenchers. farmers from across the country 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 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.
3:02 am
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
3:03 am
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 sacked over the weekend. he was 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

3:05 am
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
3:06 am
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 dufing 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
3:07 am
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
3:08 am
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
3:09 am
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 best interes
