labour's chair, anneliese dodds, reacted to the news on gb news breakfast this morning by saying thisms to be an almost automatic pass now under the conservatives and particularly the individual. >> mr mansour, who was last year last january the biggest ever donor to the conservatives, £5 million at that stage, the biggest individual donation that had been given then seeming to have that automatic pass through to receiving, an honour under rishi sunak. i think if anything, it demonstrates yet again his weakness that he's focused on internal party issues all of the time, rather than on the needs of our country . okay. the needs of our country. okay. now, one of the four mps receive an honour. sir philip davies , an honour. sir philip davies, who represents shipley, gave his reaction to britain's newsroom on gb news this morning. i asked him what he thinks is done to deserve the honour. >> a bit cheeky, it's not for me, it's not for me to decide that. that's for the people and, people will have their own opinion about whether any honour is or not. and you only is merited or not. and you

on breakfast this morning, stephen and ellie asked the labour party chair, anneliese dodds, what she ut the honours system. >> the same >> probably had the same response , as many members of the response, as many members of the pubuc response, as many members of the public are responsive of astonishment. you know, you either would feel that perhaps rishi sunak is so arrogant that he doesn't mind any more what the public think. or perhaps he is demob happy. he believes that he the out. either way he is on the way out. either way , i think there's a huge amount of concern about the fact that there seems to be an almost automatic pass now under the conservative gives, and particularly the individual, mr mansour , who was last year, last mansour, who was last year, last january, the biggest ever donor to the conservatives, £5 million at that stage, the biggest individual donation that had been given then seeming to have that automatic pass through to receiving, an honour under rishi sunak. i think if anything, it demonstrates yet again his weakness that he is focused on internal party iss

thank you very much, anneliese dodds, us this dodds, for joining us this morning. to our morning.ter, who's there in westminster , and give us the in westminster, and give us the lowdown on the theresa may news that she is going to stand down at the next general election . at the next general election. >> yes, quite a moment. this isn't it, because, of course, theresa may, beside being britain's second female prime minister, an international women's day today, represented her constituency of maidenhead very faithfully for 27 years. she came in in 1997 when labour won that huge landslide. and i think really significant that she chose to announce that she's not standing in the next election, not in the time , not election, not in the time, not to a big broadcaster, but to her local paper , the maidenhead local paper, the maidenhead advertiser, to whom she gave this exclusive statement. and that story was published in the last half hour or so. and she has said that, she launched this global commission on modern slavery and human trafficking , slavery and human trafficking, and she's

in the labour criticism, anneliese dodds, what she said is, she said this is the actions of someone whohey were on their way out, so feeding a little bit into that speculation. interestingly, though, michael gove, the community secretary, he was just on a podcast yesterday, he was saying that he doesn't think that the election will be until november, although he did say he didn't have any insider knowledge. and of course, there is inevitably so much rumour and speculation about when that general election is going to be. we know the latest it is going to be is byjanuary 2025. the police service of northern ireland has said a 61—year—old man has been charged in relation to sexual offences. a 57—year—old woman has also been charged for aiding and abetting additional offences. both are due to appear before newry magistrates�* court on the 24th april. police say the offences are non—recent — and that all charges will be reviewed by the public prosecution service. next, a development in what's been described as one of the most widespread miscarriages ofjustice in british history. sub—postmast

labour's party chair anneliese dodds was also asked about what labour's plans would be for the triple—lock their plans in detail in due course. clearly a message from the chancellorjeremy hunt to say things were looking up economically today. but the economy is not out of the woods just yet. and as we approach not only a general election but local elections in england on the 2nd of may, we can expect the economy to remain in the spotlight. that was george roberts. —— micro georgia clear mac israel's defence minister is heading to washington as the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu comes under increasing pressure from the us to halt its planned assault on the rafah district in southern gaza. the hamas run health ministry has said 19 people waiting for aid near gaza city were killed by israeli forces on saturday. the idf have denied firing on the crowd. meanwhile, the un secretary general, antonio guterres, whilst visiting the rafah crossing on the egyptian side of the border on saturday is calling for a ceasefire and demanding israel give "total, unfettered" access to humanitarian goods th

we will speak to anneliese dodds from labour later.'s a mixture of carrot and stick, but labour have actually ruled out sanctions. that's a very big thing, and i think we need to say that people who are out of work would be much better off in the majority of cases in work and we need to do that. can ijust tell you something else? a very profound difference. how are we going to create the jobs of the future for our children? i want to be clear on that point. would you tighten any increased sanctions, then, on people to get them back to work? it sounds like that is what you're saying — it should be harder still to claim benefits. well, that's what mel stride has said. and he said, if people are out of work after 18 months, he will require them to do a work placement. and the changes in the work capability assessment that he's already announced, the office for budget responsibility say 400,000 fewer people will be getting the higher level of benefit. but can ijust go back to jobs? because you ask about differences. we've had many challeng

labour's party chair anneliese dodds was also asked about what labour's plans would be for the triple—lock plans in detail in due course. clearly a message from the chancellorjeremy hunt to say things were looking up economically today. but the economy is not out of the woods just yet. and as we approach not only a general election but local elections in england on the 2nd of may, we can expect the economy to remain in the spotlight. that was georgia roberts. now it's time for a look at today's sport with gavin. hello from the bbc sport centre. a shock in formula i as max verstappen failed in his attempt to equal his record of io successive wins earlier at the australian grand prix. those plans went up in smoke — quite literally — as a brake fire put an early end to his race. carlos sainz completed a remarkable comeback from appendix surgery two weeks ago, to come first in melbourne. sainz started alongside world champion verstappen who was on pole. but the dutchman handed him the lead, after having to retire his red bull with brake problems. not good news for him. the race finished under

meanwhile labour's chair, anneliese dodds, said her party would be setting out economic details of its in due course. the liberal democrats dismissed mr hunt's pensions pledge as a shameless election trick. in west africa, delayed presidential elections are taking place in senegal. the outgoing president, macky sall, had tried to postpone the vote till december — long past the end of his mandate. it took considerable domestic and international pressure and a ruling by senegal�*s constitutional council to get today's date agreed. seven million people are eligible to vote for the 17candidates. our correspondent, thomas naadi, has more. the voting process has been largely peaceful. there are long queues at some polling stations. this country has a very young population and many of them are determined to get their voices heard in this election. opposition candidatejoe maffei voted here earlier today. he called for a peaceful election and urged all parties to accept the outcome of the polls. former prime minister amadou ba of the ruling party also called for a peaceful election and said he

anneliese dodds morning was a bit dodds this morning was a bit shaky they were shaky on whether theyed if >> i'd be very surprised if labour not commit the labour did not commit to the triple pensions, because triple lock on pensions, because ultimately, what neither party wants in election year is wants to do in election year is be the one that says we're not going to it because going to commit to it because then causes a huge political then it causes a huge political problem with them. for whatever reason , we seem to wedded to reason, we seem to be wedded to the on pensions in the triple lock on pensions in this and the party that this country. and the party that says not stick says they're not going to stick to won't win the to it probably won't win the next to it probably won't win the nexsounds like you don't think >> sounds like you don't think it's a good idea. >> i don't think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i'vedon't think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said think it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said thatk it's a good it's a good idea. >> i've said that manya

anneliese dodds as always, it's to good talk to you. ter. what did you make what anneliese had make of what anneliese dodds had to catherine to say? catherine >> yes. interesting. on water, wasn't it? she was saying ban bonuses, automatic monitoring of sewage spills, etc. worth saying, of course, that although water was nationalised by margaret thatcher, labour was in power from 1997 to 200 2010 and didn't reverse any of this ehheh >> also worth saying of course, that when sir keir starmer became labour leader , he was became labour leader, he was doing so, promising to do many of the things that jeremy corbyn had said he would do, including nationalisation of rail and water, they have rowed back on that. now the labour party . but, that. now the labour party. but, i think one of the fundamental problems is the fact that now over 70% of the british english water industry is under foreign ownership. so in the case of thames water, it's largely owned by canadian pension funds, by abu dhabi and china . and so abu dhabi and china. and so the

their income go up by £1,800 as well. >> the labour party chair, anneliese dodds, says tax rises aret will bring change. >> there's a big difference, kamila, between what labour is setting out, especially on taxation and what we're seeing under the conservative cause. we've seen taxes going up 25 times under the conservatives. our instinct is always to make sure that working people are not paying sure that working people are not paying the price for government mistakes. that's what's happened , i'm afraid, under the conservatives. so of course , our conservatives. so of course, our approach would always be to try and reduce that impact on working people. we've seen the opposite, i'm afraid, under recent conservative governments, a woman's been arrested on suspicion child neglect after suspicion of child neglect after three young siblings went missing in gloucestershire , missing in gloucestershire, police confirmed the three year old boy and girls , aged five old boy and the girls, aged five and eight, are safe and well. >> they're under a court order that prevents them from being in

anneliese dodds, the chair of the labour party, said similar on gb news earlier. is a story that's been rumbling around for weeks and weeks and frankly, isn't going away. i was at a press gallery lunch with angela rayner about three weeks ago. she was asked repeatedly about this. then she got quite emotional, actually. she was on the verge of tears at one point, but she could clear all this up and if she chose to make the information public as to why she doesn't owe any capital gains tax on this house, which she says was her main home, and it's a bit complicated. so just bear with me . but basically, she had me. but basically, she had a home that she owned that she said was her main home. she also then had a home with her husband and her children. that neighbours say she was living in that home for these years , not that home for these years, not the home that she owned, that neighbours say her brother was living in. now, for her not to be liable for capital gains tax, one of two things must have happened either , she spent so happened either, she spent so much mo

we have got hold of a letter from the labour party chair, anneliese dodds, with two key questions.has never been a member of the conservative party. you don't need to be a member to be a donor. the second question from labour is about mr has to's continuing role in the party, whether the prime minister is going to cut ties. kevin hollinrake this morning suggested that perhaps they could take money from mr hester again. numberten not they could take money from mr hester again. number ten not wanting to comment on future donations but they said, as the pm said in prime minister's questions, the alleged comments were racist and wrong. the labour strategy if we're being honest is to try and keep the story going, potentially into tomorrow, into a fourth day and the things adding to that are some conservatives like andy street and scottish conservatives's dennis ross questioning whether the money should be handed back. also diane abbott herself. she wasn't selected in the commons today, she was bobbing, trying to get the speaker's eye, she has written an article in the independent critic

so we begin this section with saturday's telegraph and anneliese dodds claiming that butter wouldn'tour's mouth. josh. >> indeed, insists >> yeah, indeed, labour insists its will its donors will not automatically amid automatically get honours amid sunak knighthood row. this is because , it was announced that because, it was announced that sir mohamed mansour , who gave £5 sir mohamed mansour, who gave £5 million, to the tories in 2023, is coincidentally going to get a knighthood. well but this is the first thing is, do you excuse my ignorance? do you don't you? do you instantly become like a sir? like when you say you're going to a knighthood? like, to get a knighthood? like, was he mohammed he just the other day? mohammed and that now they've announced it. just said it. he's. sir, they just said you to. i thought you had you have to. i thought you had to some does he get. to do some stuff. does he get. do double his stuff? do you get double his stuff? >> he's he's involved in the. no, no. >> p gm.- >> what i mean is, has he been served it's that served already. it's just that they'

angela rayner while campaigning rachel reeves anneliese dodds . they've reeves anneliese dodds.estion to you, olivia, is how much of them sitting on their hands and them sitting on their hands and the cats having their tongues for so long has made this situation get this inflamed point where they have now to take action? >> well, i think that's a really interesting question. i mean, i think that rishi and the think that rishi sunak and the government probably argue government will probably argue that trying . i that they've been trying. i mean, rishi sunak reminded police of their powers last week to cut down on emissions, intimidate or potentially violent protests . they haven't violent protests. they haven't been doing it. when she was in power as well, reminded the met commissioner that he did have the power to stop those, uh, those those march is going ahead. those pro—palestinian marches going ahead at the weekend . there is an argument weekend. there is an argument thatis weekend. there is an argument that is the met police rather than the government, who have sort of allo

. >> labour party chair anneliese dodds says tax rises are to blame and has promised changes under agovernment. >> there's a big difference, kamila , between what labour is kamila, between what labour is setting out, especially on taxation and what we're seeing under the conservatives. we've seen taxes going up 25 times under the conservatives our instinct is always to make sure that working people are not paying that working people are not paying the price for government mistakes . paying the price for government mistakes. that's paying the price for government mistakes . that's what's mistakes. that's what's happened, i'm afraid, under the conservatives. so of course, our approach would always be to try and reduce that impact on working people. we've seen the opposite, i'm afraid. under recent conservative governments , recent conservative governments, chilling levels of harassment are posing a serious threat to social cohesion. >> that's according to an independent government adviser. a review led by dame saira khan will be published tomorrow, showing more than 75% of the pubuc sh

you know, there was anneliese dodds who's a shadow , chair of the who's a shadow, chair of the labourolice, security, people chanting , what on earth do you chanting, what on earth do you think she's going to do? netanyahu doesn't listen to netanyahu doesn't even listen to president biden, the president biden, let alone the chair of opposition uk chair of the opposition uk party. worry is this kind of party. my worry is this kind of thing only going to get worse thing is only going to get worse because i think there was a there a kind of deal that there was a kind of deal that was made that was basically said that if there if the that if there wasn't, if the hostages weren't by hostages weren't released by ramadan, which is coming up, they israel. they would invade israel. >> israeli forces would >> the israeli forces would invade where invade rafah, which is where there 1.5 million gazans there are 1.5 million gazans refugees. if that happens, refugees. and if that happens, the pro—palestinian movement is going to be even more angry . so going to be even more angry. so i suspect if t

and indeed the bad news for the prime minister and anneliese dodds hit out at the prime minister earlier said? what she said? >> be an almost >> it seems to be an almost automatic now under the automatic pass now under the conservatives and particularly the individual. mr mansoor, who was last year, last january, the biggest ever donor to the conservative £5 million at that stage, the biggest individual donation that had been given then seeming to have that automatic pass through to receiving a high honour under rishi sunak. i think if anything, it demonstrates yet again his weakness that he is focused on internal party issues all of the time, rather than on the needs of our country . the needs of our country. >> well, i seem to recall tony blair giving a lot of honours away to his mates. but anyway, i digress . mohamed mansour wasn't digress. mohamed mansour wasn't the only person who was honoured i >> -- >> no, christopher nolan, the director of oppenheimer, and his wife, a number of conservative mps. tracey crouch, a former sports minister, mark spencer, the farming minister and phili

rachel reeves dodds you know reeves anneliese dodds you know they've been barracks outside of labouring and right wing . everybody seems to right wing. everybody seems to be getting caught in the crossfire. >> well, i think that the far left hoped that it was going to have control of the labour party. there's been a party. and there's been a significant to wrestle the significant push to wrestle the extreme elements, extreme far left elements, particularly issue particularly around the issue of anti—semitism, labour and anti—semitism, out of labour and so clearly they're targeting the party i what party once again. i think what i would pick up on, on what was said there by leader of the said there by the leader of the opposition whether there'd opposition about whether there'd been looking been anyone looking into extremism we did been anyone looking into extre|william we did been anyone looking into extre|william shawcross's we did been anyone looking into extre|william shawcross's review have william shawcross's review into and although that have william shawcross's review into abo

the chair of the labour party, anneliese dodds, might not be so sure. she's with us, too.

i'll be speaking to labour's anneliese dodds as the shadow women and equalities minister.studio , after hunt, in the studio, after suggesting that a hundred grand isn't really that much in surrey to be earning. is he out of touch with the average brit, and can he convince voters that he can he convince voters that he can approve, improve the economy at last? author and historian sir anthony seldon will be here to share his thoughts. as boris johnson's biographer , on whether johnson's biographer, on whether the former prime minister can stage and ailsa stage a comeback and ailsa anderson, the former press secretary to queen elizabeth ii , secretary to queen elizabeth ii, will be here to discuss the devastating news the princess devastating news of the princess of wales's cancer diagnosis. don't go anywhere

we've seen your own parliamentarian , sir keir parliamentarian, sir keir starmer, angela rayner, anneliese doddsted. >> well, listen, it is entirely unacceptable in a democracy for parliamentarians to be, harassed, threatened and with people trying to use those sort of methods to affect the decisions they make that is totally and utterly unacceptable. in terms of the marches , i don't necessarily marches, i don't necessarily accept, though, martin, your your card raising that all police officers are acting in a particular way . i do police officers are acting in a particular way. i do think pubuc particular way. i do think public order policing is a very particular type of policing. it's very difficult. and i think that police on the front line have to be relied on to make their own operation judgements. they don't want to do things that make the immediate situation worse, but at the same time have to hold the law. time they have to hold the law. and i think it's important the police resources they police have the resources they need and the backing they need to do their job. but what you say ab
