mean, seriously, no, martin, i think we know the money that the conservatives wasted on hs2 , on the failed wasted on hs2, on the failed rwandadodgy covid contracts, £4 billion on public sector pay rises, £22 billion on carbon capture, £16 billion on foreign aid on climate change foreign aid on climate change for overseas pay rises. the money is there if the labour party want it. >> the pay rises have actually sorted out problems that have cost the country an awful lot because the previous government refused to engage with it, but we've all got to pay for them as mugs. well , we've all got to pay for them as mugs. well, we're all going to have to pay for better public services and our public services are creaking, whether that's schools falling down because of, you know, bad concrete, whether it's the health service, whether wait balance right. we have to wait and see what happens on the 30th. >> if they do, and no doubt on halloween eve , they'll still be halloween eve, they'll still be blaming the tories. well, in four years time, gawain. >> although, to be fair, the tories were blaming labour for about ten years ago and th

rwanda deal was sustainable. appropriate and could work. unfortunately, the conservativeer close, somewhat incestuously with rwanda, and so clearly there was great concern about about whether or not this country was the appropriate jurisdiction to send illegal migrants. i very much hope that we will pull out of the european court of human rights. and it's not correct. what mark francois says the position of kemi badenoch. she has not ruled out pulling out of the european court of human rights. we need to ensure that criminals and people who have come to this country illegally are deported, but they are deported to a jurisdiction that the british people have confidence in. australia is a classic. case in point, their deal with nauru, a tiny pacific nation in the in the pacific ocean, a population of only 11,000 is working. it's proved to work the accommodation facilities in nauru are now empty because the criminal gangs are not targeting australia, because they know that the their customers, the illegal migrants , customers, the illegal migrants, will be shipped out to nau

immigration, the rwanda plan, and has put bringing down immigration and having a cap on net migration, as a central part of his pitch. he thinks it's absolutely essential that the conservativedetractors too. critics say she is the candidate most likely to pick a fight in an empty room. she doesn't shy away from controversy. she is also if sam poling is to be believed, the candidate to the tory grassroots tend to like the most. it will be really interesting and not inconsequential if she doesn't get through to the final two. that's broadly where they sit on the comic spectrum. they all face the same challenge, how to rebuild the party which took an absolute pummelling at the general election. so far none of them have set out a full perception but we are about to get that result. as chairman of the 1922 committee and returning officer in the _ committee and returning officer in the leadership contest, i can— in the leadership contest, i can now— in the leadership contest, i can now give you the results of the fourth _ can now give you the results of the fourth and final parliamentary ballot, which is good — parliamentary ballot, which is good news. 120 mp5 voted and i can rep

so we'll never know if rwanda could have proved to be the deterrent that rishi sunak and previous administrations within the conservativebeen learning some lessons and we do come back with something more than just soundees something more than just soundbites about smashing gangs. mark white, thank you very much for explaining how many more migrants are coming across this afternoon, because the weather's nice, right? there's lots more to come between now and 5:00, including the news that two metropolitan police officers have been given their jobs back have been given theirjobs back following a stop and search ordeal. we'll have all the reaction to this breaking story, but first, let's get the news headunes but first, let's get the news headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> dawna, thank you very much and good afternoon. the top stories this hour. sir keir starmer has announced what he calls a game changing £22 billion funding package for projects that capture and store carbon emissions. speaking to workers in liverpool, he said the investment in so—called carbon capture clusters will create t

rwanda vote, which was incredibly controversial. people were saying, probably your station was saying, you know, the conservatives are split.might have a general election before christmas or in january. we didn't. the reason we didn't was because james was able to bnng was because james was able to bring all four wings of the party together, and we actually got through those votes both before christmas and after. so i've actually seen the seen him unite our party, which is why i know, i know he is the one to unite us. >> conservative mps seem a little bit split on the timings for this election campaign. there are those. tom tugendhat yesterday was saying that it should be brought forwards and if he was the new leader, he would like to be the one responding to the budget on october the 30th. do you agree with that or do you think it's sensible to push it back until the 2nd of november, after the budget has already been done? >> well, initially, when the timetable was set, i thought it was absolutely the right the right length of time. you know, we did lose. we did lose big, proper renewal, proper, proper, proper renewal, pro

asylum claims could reach almost 120,000 by january, following labour's decision to scrap the conservatives rwanda new analysis suggests that processing the backlog could see over 62,000 more people recognised as refugees in the uk. it comes as downing street says that it's committed to ending the use of asylum hotels. despite recent reports, the home office may reopen some that were previously closed . kemi badenoch previously closed. kemi badenoch says that her bid for the conservative leadership is a grassroots campaign, taking aim at her rival robert jenrick more media focused approach as the two contenders compete to replace rishi sunak. the shadow housing secretary says the tories need to regain votes they lost to reform and the liberal democrats. meanwhile, robert jenrick has outlined his vision for the smaller state and lower taxes , arguing that returning taxes, arguing that returning the spend on benefits to pre—pandemic levels could help a tax cut . well, from 7:00 pm tax cut. well, from 7:00 pm tonight, they'll make their pitches to tory membership in a special programme here on gb new

rwanda deal. >> chris philp from the conservatives, you made a hash of it.aid you stopped the boats, you didn't labour say they are going to stop the boats and sort this crisis out. >> well, it's definitely one of the reasons why we lost that. we didn't stop the boats as rishi sunak promised to do. but the rwanda scheme i believe, would have had the deterrent effect required and would have stopped the boats. now, hang on a minute. >> losing your life doesn't isn't losing your life by coming in on a small boat. isn't that what more of a deterrent . what more of a deterrent. >> can can anyone have tragically, tragically people do seem to be willing to cross the channel. still, despite those risks, those risks exist. people have tragically lost their life, but they're still trying to cross. now. the rwanda scheme was due to come into force on the 24th of july, about three weeks after the election. that was when the first flight was due to take off and labour cancelled it. now i'm confident the deterrent effect would have worked and would have stopped the boats.

coming out with soundbites, a bit like the conservatives did stop the boats without any real plan, because i think it was pretty obvious to most of us that the rwandan wasn't really going to work. there was so much pushback against it. and so much pushback against it. and so keir starmer's pledge, of course, was to stop the gangs and again, that smashed the gangs, smashed the gangs quite right. smashed the gangs. and of course, that was clearly not going to work either because there are so many of them. i think when i last did some research into this, there were at least 700 gangs that were operating, and you can't. it would be like whack a mole, you know, trying to get rid of one. and then another one had just had just pop up and take over. so this issue rumbles on. we've seen under the new labour government, the highest numbers coming in on small boats per day. so of course they're going to need somebody somewhere to put them if they don't send them back or stop them coming. and so now, once again, i think there must have been many, many people very relieved around the country that their local town , their that their local town, their main hotel
