now been claimed that labour officials were warned about offensive whatsapp group messages before the comments were made public. burnley mp oliver ryan has now become the second mp to be suspended by laboun second mp to be suspended by labour. he has apologised for comments made in the group. greater manchester police said that a non—crime hate incident had been recorded after the comments emerged, and former health minister andrew gwynne was sacked. gerald cooney, the former labour leader of tameside council, said he raised concerns about andrew gwynne's remarks several times in the past year. labour sources said no formal complaint had been received about the whatsapp group. baroness jacqui smith spoke to ben and ellie earlier on. >> we're not the nasty party. what we are is the decisive party. when the prime minister got the evidence of these messages, which i agree with, you are completely unacceptable. what he did was to sack the minister and to suspend from the labour party both of the mps that were involved. now, that stands in pretty stark contrast with previous prime ministers

who faffed about the place and allowed senior ministers to stay in their roles when they had clearly breached the ministerial code. that's the difference that we're seeing. >> images of illegal migrants and foreign offenders being deported from the uk have been released for the first time. the government has confirmed 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. while last night mps voted in favour of giving the border security, asylum and immigration bill a second reading by 333 votes to 109. shadow policing minister matt vickers reacted to the government's policy earlier on. >> we did not do a good job in office. the last government did not do a good job. but when you look at it, if you look at immigration and what this labour government are doing, the number of people arriving here by a small boat is up 28%. we were

closing hotels. there are now 6000 more people in hotels. and actually, if you look at the detail below, those arrivals, the number of people arriving here by small boat and being removed from this country is actually going down, not up the people who are being deported. we welcome deportations. in fact, most of the deportations that are taking place are as a result of the deals that we set up, like the deal with albania, because we need a deterrent. >> those are the latest gb news headlines. now let's go back to bev and andrew. >> welcome to britain's newsroom with andrew and bev. and there's a third person in this relationship. let me tell you. >> there is. and if we can the cameras can focus a little closer on that photograph. between us. that is the legendary margaret thatcher with me. that was taken on the 30th anniversary of mrs. thatcher winning the 1979 general

election. so that's 2009. very significant. she is. this is four years before she died. and this is when i was working on the daily telegraph. and she came into the daily telegraph for the day, and we showed her the old front pages from, from when she won in 79. she was fantastic. and then i took her to lunch at the goring hotel. >> oh. >> oh. >> get you? yeah. yeah, yeah. she always had the same food. she always had the same food. she always had a beef soup and a fish with no bones. >> in lemon sole or something. >> in lemon sole or something. >> something like that. yeah, yeah. >> well, of course, today is 50 years since margaret thatcher became conservative party leader. and she went on, of course, to win three general elections in the uk. >> she was a remarkable figure because to become tory leader a woman in 1975 was astonishing. there were only three women prime ministers in the world at that point. it was mrs. bandaranaike in sri lanka. what was her name? golda meir in israel, and mrs. gandhi, indira gandhi in india. so thatcher

became the fourth. but for a woman to win the tory leadership in 1975 was unheard. nobody thought she had a chance. maggie thatcher, the milk snatcher. that's what she was known. yeah. and i was thrilled. she took away the children milk at school because it was horrible. >> well, let's have a listen to her. speaking at the conservative candidates conference in 1987 and have a little contemplation. how would sir keir starmer react to this today? >> the fact is, labour are still socialist and they deliberately set out to impose more government control over people's lives. that is why that is the reason why they increased taxation more powerful than over our money, less power for the citizen. >> she was all about, wasn't she? small estates let people keep their money as much as we can, whilst also still maintaining the social security of people who need it and let small businesses thrive. and she really thatcherism became this

idea of competition, deregulation and the free market. >> well and she privatised british telecom. i mean, when i was in 1979 when she came into power, it took six months to get a phone put on, six months it was and british. >> airways putting an app on. it takes you that long to get an app takes you that long to get an app on your phone now longer. >> british airways was state owned. what on earth was the state owning an airline for? >> and some of those have. >> and some of those have. >> been coach company. national express was state owned. >> gosh. >> gosh. >> she privatised the coaches. >> she privatised the coaches. >> some of those have been less successful though. thames water companies being privatised has not been a success. i think we can all agree. yeah, but a lot of what she did, obviously i remember. >> gas, electricity, electricity all privatised. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> she created an army of small shareholders. >> yeah. which now are very rich shareholders. some might say that some of the services have not improved. but then what did she not foresee in a sense, what did she not imagine? i think she what do you know what i think she didn't imagine was the greed of some of those shareholders.
