but paul rmt has, has any reason as to why this might be happening. >> i wonder, paul, though, if weof racism is changing over the years. >> i mean, chloe's point is a good one around teaching kids to how express ideas, debate, talk in ways that are respectful, but not think that some, you know, things are sort of off piste not think that some, you know, things aryare rt of off piste not think that some, you know, things aryare worrying, iste not think that some, you know, things aryare worrying, but we numbers are worrying, but we don't know what's behind them. but the insinuation, it seems to be, you know, from the daily mirror and i may have maybe reading this wrong, but, you know, if you have more racism in society and then kids are kids are picking it up and they're taking it with them into the playground, and that's got to be that's got to be a worrying, a worrying trend. but as i said, we're only dealing with for i mean, it's going to be interesting to know what what teachers are saying or if, you know, there's anything to sort of back up or anybody with more expertise than. b

. >> sir william rmt, the duke of sussex. apparently is now saying he wouldn't consider a move back across the pond unless his big brother apologises. well, that's not what happened, is it? he would, however, be keen to help out if his father, the king, asked him to. this comes after reports that prince harry is apparently losing faith in his hollywood publicists, and his hollywood lifestyle. so let's talk to somebody who knows all about the royals, the former royal butler grant . they've got you down as grant. they've got you down as grant. they've got you down as grant butler. i can't believe your name is grant butler. it's grant harrold. of course it's grant harrold. of course it's grant harrold. of course it's grant harrold. this is this is the deliberate error of the day in the autocue. the royal butler, grant butler. how about grant? harry grant, very nice to talk to you, grant. prince harry, there's no way prince william is going to apologise to his brother. shouldn't it be the other way round ? harry wrote the other w

train drivers are sort of root and branch labour supporters has never been to a meeting with aslef or rmt but look, lord alli was a parliamentarian. he is a parliamentarian. he is a parliamentarian. he is a parliamentarian. he was given a two week temporary pass for the transition period when we moved into downing street. i think that's defensible and that had nothing to do with giving hundreds of thousands of pounds. no passes for glasses or no passes for glasses. >> well, there we go. well, thank you as always to stephen in a moment, rachel reeves has announced a covid corruption commissioner that will be revealing how she was part of the problem . plus, almost half the problem. plus, almost half of the migrants who crossed the channel this year made the journey since labour came to power welcome back. i'm still jacob rees—mogg and we've been talking about donor gait or frock gait or whatever you wish to call it, gait and the male mogs have zoomed in. michael says the government is nothing more than a gang of hypocrites that tough decisions are fake, and they strut and preen themselves

. >> now it's not really a bombshell because it's just, rmt boss mike lynch just being mike lynch. he's just saying like yeah, we're going to take control. we're going to have a union led country just because he wants it doesn't make it. so there's no actual plans for that to happen. of course, that's what he wants to happen . but what he wants to happen. but keir starmer and labour don't. >> do you think though, it's going to rattle the windows and shake the walls of middle england, this fear that we're going back to the 1970s because it's kind of in the air a little bit. >> well, this is what yeah, this is what they've been trying to push the entire time. but there's no actual proof of any of it going through. whilst rachel reeves made her speech this today or yesterday, whenever you're watching this, they, the nurses , sort of they, the nurses, sort of rejected the offer of about 5%. yeah. you do kind of go. the train drivers got a 15% offer and was accepted. you know, they got 15%. nurses should be getting more. let's split the difference and take the train. >> drivers should b

i didn't if i would never knowingly take rmt money unless it was, like, loads. >> we'll get to that storyt, right? >> unless it was so. yeah, but putin said if there is a desire of ukraine to carry on with the negotiations, i can do that. but doesn't he always just say stuff like that? he just always says that he's open to negotiation. he always pretends to be totally open to negotiation, then drops more bombs. so i don't really believe anything he says here. i'm sort of interested to see what happens if trump gets in, because trump apparently has a plan to end it immediately. apparently it does involve ukraine ceding some territory, although orban seems to think it just involves telling the eu to pay just involves telling the eu to pay more and then they can't afford it. so i'm not i'm not totally sure. i actually spoke totally sure. i actually spoke to a ukrainian guy who was over because his wife and, kids were in london, so he had to come over and to see them. and he was in our football team. he said that he believes trump would pause the war but not end it. he believes the key to win

your insight tonight comes from the general secretary of the rmt union mick lynch.snp mp hannah bardell. and lbc presenter and conservative commentator iain dale. and our political editor nick watt is here as always. we have had keir starmer talking about reform of the public services, particularly the nhs in england and then he says money will come, as a union leader when you hear a labour leader say there will be no extra money for the nhs without reforms how do you take that? i money for the nhs without reforms how do you take that?— how do you take that? i would be surrised how do you take that? i would be surprised if— how do you take that? i would be surprised if they _ how do you take that? i would be surprised if they don't _ how do you take that? i would be surprised if they don't put - how do you take that? i would be surprised if they don't put any - surprised if they don't put any money in. they have the winter challenge. he money in. they have the winter challenge-— money in. they have the winter challenge._ we - money in. they have the winter challenge

is about mick lynch . understand. jason, your front page | tomorrow, it is about mick lynch of the rmt reeves has been talking about the price and he said the price for the unions is complete control of the economy and by the trade unions, but as their aim. the point of the story is that you are seeing this week the unions flexing their muscles are bit, mick lynch is a bit of an outlier but you have others as well. you have had sharon graham on your show earlier, they was brewing in the hole this morning when the unite union resolution on winter fuel was punted off completely to wednesday, when rachel reeves was giving her speech, this afternoon, talking about how they are ending the industrial strife in the public sector, while she was speaking, while she was saying those words the rcn announced hang on out, they will have another strike. so i don't think they have put the unions to bed at all and the unions don't feel like they have been put to bed and that has mixed ambition. d0 been put to bed and that has mixed ambition. , ., ., been put to bed and that has mixed ambition. y., .,

i think it is a repeat of many ways, it's not a lot of new rmt in a way.e information out over and over again, that i've heard and we've heard over and over again is g. people feel t tranmuch only one here. that was on the board when w ten schools back in the day 20 years ago where we had just based. african american and latino frocess what you that that the information is the process isnt going forward and fee can hear everything andd at day, when we have or consolidate schools people will feel like they were notneed to feel tha sure that everybody in our community it does happen, that people haing forward. and then mycond thing i the last me the equity audit to go deeper b i'd like you what the equity audit means for this district in this process, i'm going tbout the equity audit. she's rkon this. and then. then i'll get back to feeling heard. i can go right into. thank you. good evenings, i wan to explain that the equity audit, which is being doctcor alvin pea from stanford, is based bill. so thety bill, which a california bill. so in fact, it's only a
