can john sweeney and kate forbes steer the snp away from the gender and hate crime policies pursued bynd usaf without a party implosion ? consider these party implosion? consider these matters i have with me. columnists at the daily telegraph madeline grant former labour adviser matthew laza and former labour mp bill rammell. very nice to see you all on the programme this morning. madeleine can it possibly be that sir keir starmer has discovered a series of anti—terror powers that would be open to a government to use that the conservative government has ignored? >> i don't think so at all. i think it's a classic case of sort of proposing a new law when in fact the existing laws can be used. they've already been making arrests using the current legislation, it seems to me that what keir starmer was promising was very, very similar to what the conservatives have already been doing for some time . but been doing for some time. but removing the potential deterrent of rwanda, which for all its flaws, since it since they have actually began to send a limited number there , we're now hearing,
