you would've had jeremy corbyn and diane abbott. it's all to do - and diane abbott.t's all to do with how they score in - you i and diane abbott. it's all to do i with how they score in - you have with how they score in — you have to swear in and take the oath of allegiance before becoming an mp, that's what they are doing right now in the house of commons. and it was because of the order that they were standing here — i think edward leigh and jeremy corbyn were elected on the same election, so it was where they happen to be standing when they were swore in. t they happen to be standing when they were swore in-— were swore in. ithink, joshua, in terms of the _ were swore in. ithink, joshua, in terms of the backwards - were swore in. ithink, joshua, in terms of the backwards and i were swore in. i think, joshua, in i terms of the backwards and forwards, the commons have to be summoned and kick started by a message from the sovereign — and the sovereign pots in the house of lords, they aren't allowed to go into the commons, so basically the king today was are presented

have had jeremy corbyn and diane abbott as mother and. father. i think that only happened.was all to do with the way that they swore in. so, you know, you have to swear in and take the oath of allegiance before you become an mp. and that's what's going on right now in the commons. and i think it was only because of the order, wasn't it, that they were standing there because i think edward leigh and jeremy corbyn were both elected at the same election. so it was purely about where they happened to be standing when they were sworn in. and in terms of the going backwards and forwards, i think, joshua, it's because the commons have to be sort of summoned and kind of kick started by a message from the sovereign. and of course, the sovereign�*s only represented in the house of lords. they're not allowed to go into the commons. so basically the king today was represented in the lords by these royal commissioners, which is a group of kind of senior members of the house of lords, and they summon black rod, uh, who's one of the house of commons officials up to the lords. and black ro

if i set up a picture cardboard cut—out of diane abbott and start throwing milkshakes at it, encouragemilkshakes at it too. would you be okay with that? >> i just think it would be a bizarre thing to do because she's like, i don't understand the context. if it was like, come and sit with diane abbott on the tube and have a mojito, i kind of get it like that's something she said as incendiary things, as nigel farage, and you just use that as justification. ineveri just use that as justification. i never i neverjustified throwing something. no. >> at nigel, the cardboard cut—out of nigel farage. >> it's taking the mickey out of something that wasn't okay. and i think sometimes that is like a good way of diffusing toxic behaviour. >> so then how is it not toxic behaviour to throw at a cardboard cut—out of diane abbott? >> well, i never said it wouldn't be, but i don't understand why you'd want to do that because she's not had a milkshake thrown at her, charlie. >> so i think that's the difference. i think so nigel farage was actually the victim of someone throwing a milkshake at him and a

but diane abbott is in charge or, you know, quite high up.way, when it comes to the stand up to racism thing, do you think she needs to be stopping things like this within her organisation, as it were? >> oh well, look, don't hold your breath. she won't do that, your breath. she won't do that, you know, i've never yet known diane abbott tried to calm the situation down, she's likely to do the opposite and say it was all justified, etc. but as i say, you know, when i say you've given it to them, i don't mean you personally, patrick christys, but the media has given this publicity. they should have ignored it. >> well, i know nigel has to be fair himself come out and said that he thinks that diane should, should, you know, condemn this kind of stuff. but like you said, i think we might be wasting a heck of a long time for that. and but can i just say a massive thank you and great to have you on the show as ever. there's the wonderful ann widdecombe there. okay so lots to come. coming up. widdecombe there. okay so lots to come. coming up . black

and she also said that diane abbott was a racist hypocrite . well, keir racist hypocrite.armer himself said that diane abbott's comments, which led to her losing the whip, were in fact racist. yeah, right. so what's so bad about these comments? good job. starmer is not standing for leader of the tory. some would say he could. >> also, there's a claim that a guardian journalist contacted people to try . people to try. >> and actually it was the quote to try and get someone in her old department, get someone to make accusations of bullying against her. and the make makes you think, well, just come up with some lies. but no, the journalist was saying, i've heard rumours of bullying. will someone want to come forward? so if you if you never want to be accused of bullying, never bully, do you know what i mean? so look, i think there's enough to smear. i don't think there's much here at all. i think if someone went through everything you'd ever said or texted or emailed and that's all they could come up with, then say that rather than going like, oh, they're out to get me and it

you know, diane abbott or angela rayner or something like that.lips, i would imagine jess phillips, i would imagine she wouldn't be happy. phillips. yeah, we probably wouldn't hear the last of it, and there does seem to be, i think, a certain hypocrisy when it comes to certain politicians. if you see nigel farage accosted on the street, or jacob rees—mogg, there are too many people on my side of politics who are willing to turn a blind eye to that and say, well, they've asked for it. you know, it's the equivalent of the she was wearing a miniskirt argument. you know, they've asked for it because, you know, they're provocative politicians. whereas if it was to happen to somebody else, the sort of people that we've mentioned, there would be an outcry over it. so similarly, paul, i'm a bit worried that nigel farage, i mean, he's given a sensible statement, but i'm a bit worried that folk on the right are going to take umbrage at this. just water off a duck's back. that's what it should be. there is a danger that people do say, yeah, everybody's a vic

so your diane abbotts and yourjohn mcdonnells and your momentum.he people that supported jeremy corbyn? they're really focussed on this limit on benefits for people with more than two children. yes. they have made that their kind of big fight. and actually you just think that's quite a sharp contrast. are you on the side of spending 2.5% on on defence, or are you on the side of lifting the two child limit on benefits? and it's just a very clear kind of division there. it is a very clear division. and it's notjust people on the left likejohn mcdonnell. so gordon brown, for example, former prime minister, has spoken with great conviction about the two child benefit cap, andy burnham, the well—known and well—liked, very prominent great mayor of greater manchester, has also talked about the two child benefit cap. now there is zero sign at this stage that keir starmer and rachel reeves have got any intention of doing anything about this any time soon, but there is political pressure on them. and, you know, even though you've got a majority of a gazillio

. >> i mean, if she's explaining the situation to diane abbott or a seven year old, that would maybeable. i mean, jul was useless, but kamala is useless and screechy and does this horrendous laugh at inappropriate moments like doctor herbert from the simpsons, if he was a wine mom, she got where she is by taking the knee for blm and taking both knees for willie brown. that's not a racial euphemism, by the way. he was a mayor. she was also montel williams. williams sidepiece for a while, but record in office office is dismal. as former attorney general of california, she oversaw the decline of cities such as san francisco into degeneracy drugs , homelessness. degeneracy drugs, homelessness. i can't even talk now. i'm catching the kamala bug and crane. she's the original dea hire her own campaign to become the democrat presidential nominee in 2019, crashed early as policies such as rent subsidies and banning fracking were too far left, even for the democrats. but joe biden hired her as vp anyway because she's a black woman, after he received a letter from prominent leftists demanding t

. >> he tried to disappear diane abbott, but that didn't quite work. >> no, but my point really is, lookwn, farage now for the thick end of 30 odd years, right? the one thing she did get right? the one thing she did get right was he's not a racist. this is definitely not a racist, lee's definitely not a racist. so what you have got is you might have a few bad apples there. thank god we have a free press in our country exposing it. i'm very much in favour of it. i'm very much in favour of it. i'm very much in favour of it . and so, you know, i would it. and so, you know, i would expect this to happen and does happen. look, look at some of the conservatives, actual mps who've been sitting there for five, ten, 20 years. suddenly they turn out to be this. they turn out to be that. they turn out to be the other. i would not take this seriously. i don't agree with that lady. and i agree with that lady. and i agree with that lady. and i agree with the point that was made by by miss widdecombe was the. it's the vast majority aspect. there will be some duds and bad apples in there. and thank god

so these seven mps, there were other mps, like diane abbott for example, who did not vote on this, on. even though you will not find a person in the labour party who is in favour of the two child benefit cap, you will not find an mp who is in favour of it. and yet. so these people were trying to make a statement and a completely accept that you get to do that. but then at the same time, you can see how the leader gets to do that early on to show to the rest of the mps, especially the new mps, to understand what it is going to be like. >> keir starmer a bit tougher than he looks. >> he's, i mean, we already knew that he's tough enough . that he's tough enough. >> well, i have to say, he did kick out some of the hard left. and i've over the last couple of years on this programme, said you have to give him credit for getting rid of the corbyn and some of those people, we'll see. he's facing an almighty test and for the sake of the country , i for the sake of the country, i guess we do wish him well. but we do need a parliament that challenges a labour party with a huge majority. i think

because he's purged all the corbyn sort of ites from his party, and he's got people like my mp diane abbottp in hand, scraping for her position within the party. it's because there's, you know, and it's not just because he's cosplaying as blair ehhen because he's cosplaying as blair either. it's because the idea of what it means to be left wing to me is to champion working class interests and post i'm expressing here. sorry, everyone at home post—brexit, when you've got the sort of populist spirit crushed, for years of sort of disenfranchisement, basically the idea of having any kind of working class consciousness or organisation is all but dissipated. >> it's fascinating that paradigm for me as well, has gone that left right. we've got ella here who sees herself as super left. you've got you who would probably see yourself as super right. >> and there are things she's not saying far so that we don't get insulted. >> you're not that. but there are so much that you both agree on. >> sure, i'm not sure . so >> sure, i'm not sure. so i agree on the democratic point that you were making about c

same for diane abbott. it's on the left andifs diane abbott.look at donald trump being shot at. what is going on i remember it seems to me we need to tone the rhetoric down. ability to disagree. >> you don't do that though by police officers arresting people for saying something cruel. >> yeah i mean, i had iron brew thrown at me in the 2014, scottish referendum campaign in a very scottish, scottish moment of stereotyping literally we had with ed miliband. they were kind of people off camera, people flicking through a mars bar or something. >> yeah, but not everybody's going to agree with you, you know, get over it . know, get over it. >> and some people are going to say hurty words like child killer. it's of course, it's deeply unpleasant. >> i do find it kind of, hypocritical. i remember interviewing nigel farage when i worked at my local paper maybe 15 years ago, my local newspaper , 15 years ago, my local newspaper, and he was getting death threats. he had security. then we had far left agitators chasing his family out of pubs. his young ki

been going through the lobbies, that might be a slightly different kind of consideration, because diane abbotturse, caused a lot of issue in the election campaign with the selection problems. rosie duffield has been a big critic of starmer. so then by not being there, it was very helpful because it just means the labour left. and of course they've never been a fan of keir starmer. >> but pmqs is going to be very interesting today, isn't it? i mean, it'll be rishi sunak versus keir starmer and others. i mean, as you pointed out, the reform lot will be there as well with their questions. but i mean, here we've got an obvious one, an own goal in a way, isn't it? they're going to absolutely attack him for not even being able two weeks in to a new government, not being able to control his own mps. >> the first earliest backbench rebellion since 1945. so normally they happen at some point. but this was the first, soonest to happen in a new parliament in eight years. yes. first case in the post—war scenario, i think the rishi sunak will take a quite measured tone. obviously. you know, he just had an

it's as if the democrats are trying to annoy diane abbott as the head of the party. cross the line. but at the end of the day, this is still a simpleton who you wouldn't want to have making change for you at tesco. so she laughs constantly at nothing like someone who has some kind of mental problem. like right there, she's just cracking herself up, she is completely talks and word salad. things that make no sense. and every here's the big key with politics. everyone who's worked for her runs away screaming from that office and then leaks to the press about what a nightmare she is to work for, as opposed to someone like hillary clinton, who everyone is extremely loyal to. so this is going to be a great few months. not to mention the fact , andrew, just like in, the fact, andrew, just like in, you know , when boris johnson you know, when boris johnson stepped down and the tories had their election to replace him, there were six candidates. you had the debates . there were six candidates. you had the debates. liz there were six candidates. you had the debates . liz trus

diane abbott has also come under fire for this tweet criticising reform uk. says giants of the english football team. meanwhile, reform is complaining about immigration and that's a picture of the five england footballers with diverse backgrounds there. carol david lammy piping up immediately about being the descendants of enslaved people. will he make that? >> it's just it's beyond pathetic, actually. he talks about like he's the only non—white person to ever be in cabinet. fact, liz truss's cabinet, seven non—white members and ten women. sunak's cabinet, five non—white members and a non—white pm. starmer's cabinet free non—white members despite 89 ethnic minority mps being elected in this election. so they're not that diverse and they're not that diverse and they're not. >> they just shout about it more. benjamin. >> yeah, well, the vast majority of those mps are probably just been elected. so i think regardless of their description, they're not right for cabinet. >> it doesn't take away from the fact three non—white people in their cabinet. >> i think we i

reform talk about a man who gave millions of pounds to the tory party said appalling things about diane abbottys for rishi sunak to even condemn it as racist and misogynist. and i think there is a there is a there is a tendency amongst certain groups of people who go, oh, that's all right. i wasn't being offensive. i wasn't being racist, i wasn't being misogynist . and i think claire's misogynist. and i think claire's absolutely right. we do need to support and help young people going through the absolute, you know, labyrinth of what's going on, on social media. and we know what's going on with. >> it's interesting you say that you would give the vote to 16 year olds, but at the same time, you're also saying that they are in a slightly aslef, slightly patronising way. they're not together enough to make up their mind what nigel farage is saying to them. >> but but i think that goes back to what claire said, which i agree with. it needs to be taughtin i agree with. it needs to be taught in schools. you know, you can go to a primary school and you can have , you know, the you can have, you know,

no decision has been taken to bar diane abbott. i had decided. i've changed my mind.m going to stand in this election. - seven political parties, seven leading figures. scottish national party support is steadily going up. _ 0h, we're going to keep going? 0k. — so, that's interesting. i will fight for you, i will make sure that your voice is heard. if you want to change, you have to vote for it. newscast studio. laura with you. sittin: newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite _ newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite of _ newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite of both - newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite of both of- newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite of both of you. l newscast studio. laura with you. sitting opposite of both of you. i | sitting opposite of both of you. i call sitting opposite of both of you. call this sitting opposite of both of you. i call this the side a chair because if you place in this seed may speak for the purpose of my right, i sort of do the side i. we're waiting for chris mason to a

take the oath to the king after the father of the house, edward lee, and the mother of the house, diane abbott see the leader of the opposition, rishi sunak, both probably wishing each other well, talking about the election. it's more of a general knockabout as as mps cram in, the numbers of labour mps will be quite interesting. they'll be all down, the government benches overflowing. they've been told by whips they can't go on to the other side. andrew and bev. so the other side should have the lib dems opposite them at the far end from the speaker's chair, where the snp were in great number in the last parliament, and then the tory party towards the speaker's chair, the 130 or so tory mps. so all change. this is democracy. this is how it works. and i think you've heard earlier from the 12 metro mayors, they're in there seeing the prime minister for the first meeting ever as a group, 11 plus one tory, all labour plus one tory, that went well. ben hawkins said he found it very positive meeting you heard language there from, tracy brabin. she called it a productive discussion about how we'll gr

so it wasn't so long ago you guys were trying to get rid of diane abbott. no one is an angel when it comes to selections. >> but there is a difference. this is the party chairperson. who the candidate who was themselves selected. i mean, there's difference with the people having diane abbott is the first black mp in an mp party, political , you know, but party, political, you know, but it's not the what happened with richard holden was a disgrace. >> okay . to be presented with >> okay. to be presented with one candidate, the local authorities presented one. can i remember tristram hunt even he had three candidates. yeah. parties have done this all the time. >> what are you saying then? kwasi op resolute. >> no, not that he deserves to lose. i want him to win. but the party should not. and i'm going to, you know, stick my neck out, and i'm not going to pretend that, you know, everything's rosy in our garden, because that should never happen again. but don't you think? be presenting. don't you think candidates? don't you think candidates? don't you think can

people like john mcdonnell, who of course was shadow chancellor under jeremy corbyn, people like diane abbottecause the estimated cost of lifting that cap from the first two children that's born after 2015, when george osborne introduced it, is estimated to be about 3.4 billion a year now. yes. it said that it would lift about half a million children out of poverty straight away. and we do have something like 4 million children living in poverty in this country. but the government has made it clear that there's not much money. the chancellor, rachel reeves, has said that they won't do anything which isn't fully costed. and the prime minister's spokesman at lunchtime saying that the position has not changed and that basically the chancellor has found out that the public finances are even worse than labour imagined. that's something that paul johnson from the institute for fiscal studies said would absolutely not wash for a new government to come in and say that things were even worse because the books were all open. but lo and behold, they are saying that. so i don't think they're going to bud

of the sting on her today, digging up social media posts from when she was 17 where she called diane abbottke her more, not less. kemi hasn't declared who who else hasn't declared yet. well, i'll ask you straight. who would you like to be a leader? >> well, look, i want priti patel to become the leader of the conservative party and hope that she'll be putting her nomination in. i think pretty has shown through the fact that service to this party, number one, she was brought in under the then former leader william hague just after 97 election, which was also a thumping defeat for us because, again, our failure to deliver busy infighting rather than looking outward. so she's seen what it's like on the ground firsthand, deaung like on the ground firsthand, dealing with a parliamentary party that's recovering and rebuilding. she's then gone on to serve under david cameron, theresa may and boris johnson in very senior positions in treasury, international development, home office, all of which are very different types of conservatives in many different ways. so she shows that broad church appeal

how diane abbott was treated was wrong. in the end she had _ was treated was wrong.that _ the party's position? that is something that has - the party's position? that is something that has to i the party's position? that is something that has to be i the party's position? that is - something that has to be considered. if these _ something that has to be considered. if these exit polls are to be believed, and they are the most reliable — believed, and they are the most reliable polls, although the polls, how we _ reliable polls, although the polls, how we do business and how we do international business, and how we approach _ international business, and how we approach that, needs to be duly considered. and the party's current position— considered. and the party's current position is— considered. and the party's current position is the right position. we can see position is the right position. , can see rachel reeves at her account in leeds, she is well on track to being the first female chancellor. there she is at her account in leeds. we will see if that comes to p

of what's known as the socialist campaign group on the backbenches john mcdonnell, clive lewis, diane abbottrse they've been massively diluted. they've always been. they were there under under tony blair and gordon brown. there were about 30 throughout the clive lewis wasn't. but you know people like dennis skinner were and they were always about 25 to 30. it's actually a similar number now. they've been very few additions. if any actually from the new the, the, the hundreds of new labour mps elected because keir kept an iron like grip on the selection procedure, much to the left. upset speaker is on his feet. >> let's listen in. >> let's listen in. >> as i say about the jewish responsibility of honourable members, it will be starting with the code of conduct for members and the behaviour code. i begin by reminding honourable members of their duty to observe the code of conduct, the behaviour code agreed by the house, and to behave with civility and fairness in all their dealings . their dealings. >> unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with seriously, independently and with effective sancti
