in. >> well, sir mark rowley said this leaves the metropolitan police in an impossible position. he is now calling on the government to introduce new legislation. >> okay. and in other news, labour grandee diane abbott, she's calling on all members of the andrew gwynne whatsapp group to quit. that's after a second mp is suspended from the party, accused of sending offensive messages. >> elsewhere. labour's llama drama. their new health minister, who previously called for an end to same sex toilets, orindeed for an end to same sex toilets, or indeed single sex toilets, i should say, has also backed people identifying as llamas. plus, we'll reveal further comments from the new minister tasked with protecting your health. >> and what a load of absolute rubbish. yes, bristol council under fire after considering plans to collect your bins. guess only once a month in a bid to reduce costs and reverse a dip in recycling rates.
12:01 pm
i've got a comment on that last story there . once a month, once story there. once a month, once a month? >> how much rubbish are. people producing? i mean, do. >> they not? >> they not? >> do they all think i have a theory here that the people running councils like bristol, they're pretty well to do. maybe they're pretty well to do. maybe they don't cook for themselves, maybe they go out to restaurants, maybe they don't sort of have especially food waste. my goodness me, if you're the kind of person who every night of the week will just have someone else cook for you, you'll go out to a restaurant all the time. you'll avoid doing any sort of housework or anything because you'll get you'll get someone else in to do to put up the shelf rather than put it up yourself. >> you know, these imaginary people. >> these are the people running bristol council. i'm certain of it. i'm certain that they don't lift a finger themselves. >> they've got gold under their
12:02 pm
beds. >> so they don't. they don't produce any rubbish like normal people. >> do. you know what? it's absolutely disgusting. but what i will say is, and we've seen this in birmingham, where things are pretty atrocious, to actually disgusting. it shouldn't be going on in this country at all. it's no excuse to fly. tip no. even if the council's only going to come once a month, walk to the dump. if you don't have a car or share a car or something. no excuse to fly. tip that is just disgusting, unhygienic and makes us look like we're living in a developing country. >> and we've seen it more and more in different parts of the country. just sort of a culture of disrespect to communal spaces, a sort of a lack of acknowledgement of, of property rights, a lack of acknowledgement of making of pride in where you live. i mean, it's the tragedy of the commons writ large. >> yeah. i had a bit of a karen moment, as it is when these two little kids, they must have been about ten years old, just eating their sandwiches, having a packet of crisps. they get up off the bench that they're sat in near where i live. they just
12:03 pm
drop it on the floor. no, just drop it on the floor. no, just drop it on the floor. there's no consideration at all. anyway, i go over to them and i say, pick that up. it doesn't belong on the floor. they picked it up and i didn't watch them go over to the bin, but i hope they did put it in the bin because, i mean, i'm sorry, that's parenting. >> yes. >> yes. >> well or lack. >> well or lack. >> of i think we need we need a bit more of that. >> they look quite nice boys as well. they didn't look like horrible boys. just no respect at all. >> i mean, good on you for. intervening there because i think a lot of people see this sort of stuff and go, oh, i wish i could say something, but but then don't. i wouldn't. >> have if they looked scary, though, to be fair. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they were young enough for me not to worry that they were going to beat me up or something. >> they might have been carrying a knife, but you could hold their head back and they wouldn't be able to reach with their sort of scrappy little arms. >> oh god, i hope not. well, you know, is it really surprising? i mean, i do live in london, so. >> there you go. oh goodness me. well, do get in touch with your
12:04 pm
thoughts and comments. have you ever told some littering little children to pick up their own rubbish? gbnews.com/yoursay is the way to get involved. all of that to come, including llamas, metropolitan police and so much more. after your news headlines. >> good afternoon. it's 12:04. i'm katie bowen in the gb newsroom. breaking news this houn newsroom. breaking news this hour. as you've been hearing, the metropolitan police cannot dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance. the high court has ruled the force's vetting procedures have been found to be unlawful. sergeant lino di maria successfully mounted a legal challenge after having his vetting removed over sexual assault allegations, which he denies. he was found to have no case to answer in respect of misconduct allegations, and argued that having his vetting removed without the accusations being proved is a breach of his right to a fair trial. metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley said the force will be seeking an appeal on the judgement, and that the judgement, and that the judgement has left policing in a hopeless position. >> today's ruling on the law has left policing in a hopeless
12:05 pm
position. we now have no mechanism to rid the metal officers who are not fit to hold, vetting those who cannot be trusted to work with women, or those who cannot be trusted to enter the homes of vulnerable people. it is absolutely absurd that we cannot lawfully sack them. >> elsewhere, mps are scrutinising the assisted dying bill today. it comes as it was revealed last night that assisted dying cases would no longer have to be signed off by the high court under changes proposed by the bill's supporters. the proposed law currently says a high court judge must check each person is eligible and has not been coerced into making the decision to die. but kim leadbeater, the labour mp behind the terminally ill adults bill, is expected to bnng ill adults bill, is expected to bring forward amendments for a so—called judge plus system after hearing concerns during expert evidence sessions last month. the law society has issued a fresh warning today about an assisted dying law, saying it would require robust,

accessible and independent safeguards. the prime minister, sir keir starmer, is holding his weekly cabinet meeting today. it has 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. >> 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
12:07 pm
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. it comes as mps voted in favour of giving the border security, asylum and immigration bill a second reading last night. 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. 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 in office. but
12:08 pm
when you look at it, if you look at immigration and what this labour government are doing, the number of people arriving here by 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 1540 00:08:27,6
