i think ed miliband is >> it is. i think ed miliband is not only the most dangerous man in britain at the moment. he's a climate zealot. he is a man on a mission. he's not thinking about the consequences of this ridiculous climate ideology thing . the fact that we've seen thing. the fact that we've seen just this week, you know, him lauding the fact that he's managed to get these , these, managed to get these, these, these wind farm auctions through something that was actually started by the tories, which he, of course, is now taking the credit for. what he doesn't say, and i guess you and others have asked him the question you won't get an answer to this is, well, okay, these auctions have happened. you've now kind of started the, the race in terms of getting lots and lots of wind farms in place to transform the way that energy is delivered in britain. what's it going to cost the taxpayer in terms of subsidies? now, when you look into this, the subsidy for these wind farms is absolutely horrendous. it's already lite

so ed miliband , who's, on a so ed miliband, who's, on a mission, this is how he describes himself.an energy superpower mission that he's on, he only needs a cape . he's on, he only needs a cape. really? and people are going off the boil. i might say, about this new idea of attacks. he's not actually a new idea of attacks. it's attacks that the tories try to bring in and realised it wasn't going to work. it kind of came and went very fast. yeah, it's described here. it says more ed miliband madness as labour revives hated boiler attacks. now that's not the name of the tax. it's not called the hated boiler tax. otherwise they may as well call it that. >> bit like the spare room tax though, wasn't it? they always have a new name that comes along that tells people exactly. >> that becomes instantly unpopular. no, you get a firm no from the country. yeah. so originally the tories tried to bnng originally the tories tried to bring it out to replace, boilers with heat pumps, which are very expensive . they cost, anything expensive. they cost, anything up to £18,000 to install, which is 12

to be clear, i meant ed miliband.s going to tell us why she thinks no one should be force fed jabs. more on that. i couldn't believe this story when i read it with the saturday five. my friends live on gb news. welcome back to the saturday five as always. thank you very much for your messages about tonight's topics. mary poppins has written in and says rosie duffield has more guts than the entire labour party. you go into politics to make a change, not for scrounging what you can. well, you can find out more about that story on our website, but here it's time for our next debate. who wants to take the hot seat? >> oh, oh. >> oh, oh. >> take it away, doctor renee. >> take it away, doctor renee. >> okay, so we know that the covid fanatics who wanted more lockdowns , more restrictions, lockdowns, more restrictions, more masks, more vaccines always insist that nobody was ever coerced or bullied into a vaccine. the thinking amongst us know that that wasn't true, because when you're told you can't go to university without a

because obviously it's ed miliband.o what he's what he cares about is net zero, but also there is the, you know, who accepts the burden of keeping a room warm when there's massive cracks in the window frame or whatever. yeah, that's a slightly different two different issues. >> and there are some more issues, which is do they have the people necessary to do the work. yeah, that that 25 billion extra into the economy could be part of the builders boom. so that could come back in tax i.e. make sure you pay it not in cash. so it benefits everybody. and the other thing is that part of reaching this grade c is that having it's not just sort of having it's not just sort of having double glazing. they're also talking about heat pumps and they're trying to push that heat heat pump legislation through. and that could be a sort of by the back door way of going up to the c is like putting in this heat pump. and that's much about the heat pump. we discussed heat pumps yesterday and i'm saying that i'm just saying that's part of the

what i will put to you, though is, well, you know, climate activists indeed, ed miliband.e there will say we need to do this . we have to do need to do this. we have to do this. we have a moral obligation to do this, do we not? >> well, i want to tackle climate change as quickly as we possibly can if we want to be world leaders in this, we're going to have to get prices for electricity down. that's the exact opposite of what we've been doing. we could use technologies like gas and nuclear that can actually provide that reliable capacity, and we could have a grid that was much more affordable than it is now. and then other countries would want to copy us. people would want to copy us. people would also want to adopt evs and heat pumps if electricity prices were cheaper. so they're going about this the wrong way. they're slowing decarbonisation and they're putting many businesses out of business. they're making people go unemployed. and there's a deep irony behind how the left now treats this subject. they fought tooth and nail against thatcher's closing of the pits, as you

i remember when ed miliband and 20... what— future. i remember when ed miliband and 20...20... what they in the _ future. i remember when ed miliband and 20... what they in the year, - and 20... what they in the year, what _ and 20... what they in the year, what month— and 20... what they in the year, what month of the year was the 2015 election? _ what month of the year was the 2015 election? a, what month of the year was the 2015 election? n, . , . election? may. it was a standard election. election? may. it was a standard election- it _ election? may. it was a standard election. it was _ election? may. it was a standard election. it was a _ election? may. it was a standard election. it was a 2014 _ election? may. it was a standard election. it was a 2014 at - election? may. it was a standard election. it was a 2014 at labour| election. it was a 2014 at labour conference _ election. it was a 2014 at labour conference i _ election. it was a 2014 at labour conference i think _ election. it was a 2014 at labour conference i think when - election. it was a 2014 at labour con

well, i think that ed miliband does very much believe what he says, but i think he surrounds himselfely to support his worldview and actually , in his worldview and actually, in the case of, for example, decarbonising the grid by 2030, ignonng decarbonising the grid by 2030, ignoring an awful lot of industry experts who say that it's impossible. in fact, he wrote a letter to the head of the national grid last week, i think, in which he strongly implied that he doesn't still understand how he's going to get there, and asking them to give their advice, which also doesn't bode well. it doesn't suggest great competency in this area. but i think, again, it's this, this point about ideology taking precedence over what's practical and possible. >> and andi do trade unionists think of their members only as it were, as trade unionists, thatis it were, as trade unionists, that is to say, people in a place of work, or do they also think about them as consumers? that is, people who pay energy bills or indeed people who may live in a, you know, a small town or a village where they don't particula

with ed miliband and steve reed leading negotiations on climate and nature we have a pair of experiencedrmined negotiators. and with anneliese dodds as minister for dodds as ministerfor development we will be united government team, all drawing on the diplomatic and development heft to push the ambition needed to keep 1.5 degrees alive. to drive forward this cross government reset even further. i am announcing today that we will appoint new uk special representatives for climate change and for nature. these will support me together with ed miliband and steve reed respectively as we reboot internationally, showing that whether you are from the global north or the global south we want to forge genuine partnerships to tackle this crisis together and i want this diplomatic effort focused particularly on three priorities. first, we will build a global, clean power alliance. this government has set a landmark goal to be the first major economy to deliver clean power by 2030. we will leverage the ambition to build an alliance committed to accelerating the clean energy transition and today we ar

not that ed miliband and his team realised it then.d wasn't even leader of the labour party then, and that is kind of the way they are thinking about how to combat this leaderless conservative party. but i think there's a couple of issues that have reared their head for how downing street plans to approach this. i think one is the sequencing. people i speak to, including senior people in government, are sympathetic to the decision on winter fuel, but they are confused about why rachel reeves decided to announce it before the summer, before the budget, at the same time as she announced the public sector above inflation pay rises, which allowed rishi sunak and i'm sure his successor as conservative leader will do _ the same at pmqs this week, to say that this new prime minister had chosen public sector workers, over pensioners, over struggling pensioners, that is a political fault line, which i don't think they wanted. and when you see the winter fuel cut in the round in the budget, with all sorts of other tax measures and spending measu

energy secretary ed miliband says the government will always support israel, while holding it accountable've always said, and we believe, that israel has a absolute right to defend itself, but within international law and the foreign secretary took advice as he said he would, on whether there was a risk that british arms sales would be used in breach of international law. that's why he made the decision. he did to ban the export of some arms to israel . arms to israel. >> to. the tory leadership race now. and tom tugendhat has launched his campaign the shadow security minister has been setting out his vision for the future of the party and the nafion future of the party and the nation . mr tugendhat is one of nation. mr tugendhat is one of the six tory mps vying to replace rishi sunak, says he'll promise to reset the party's relationship with the public. he's also promised a return of honesty in politics. >> we must change and britain deserves better and we need a different government , one that different government, one that will serve our country with conviction and act for you . my conv

ed miliband wants to make life easier for renters by making it harder for them to rent. be closing earlier? well, don't look to the government for an answer as it's a little bit muddled. thank you to my welcome back. when we were talking about yvette cooper and the male mogs have come in, robert says the trouble with light at the end of the tunnel is that it's usually a train coming. the other way. oh dear. and adrian says, i think when starmer is saying there is light at the end of the tunnel, i think he means for the pensioners when they die from the cold this winter. oh adrian, you are a gloomy soul on that one. anyway let's hope not. let's hope that we have a nice mild winter because of a bit of global warming. talking of which, in his speech at the labour conference, ed miliband called it a tory outrage that the poorest people in the country live in cold, draughty homes. i'm not one of the poorest people in the country, but i live in a cold, draughty home and i have a feeling richard drax does as well, anyway, we've got a clip of him. >> we all know that the poorest

in a moment we'll be having a look at how ed miliband energy policies could cost you.ther £150 a yean cost you. yet another £150 a year, plus a shock result in the tory party leadership election, as dame patel is eliminated the first welcome back. i'm still jacob rees—mogg and we were talking about the right to buy and the male moggs have come in, robert says. the champagne socialists are in control and the hypocritical rayner is at the front business as usual. blair is the figurehead and jane says do you agree that we not only have a housing crisis, but a social housing crisis too? jane yes, i do broadly, but we need to build more. that's the question. and alex, do you have faith in rayner as housing secretary? well, what matters, i'm afraid, is whether keir starmer has faith in her, not whether an old tory like me has confidence in her. it's reached the point that i would not be surprised to learn that ed miliband has dutch ancestry, such as his fondness for windmills and sometimes tilting at them. the secretary for energy security has announced a scheme to build mor

that don't, you know, that make fuel cheaper or a bigger sort of emphasis on energy rather than ed miliband projects to make us all freeze rather than just pensioners. yeah, but. >> well, well said ella. can i just endorse that ditch net zero? absolutely. right. >> which is, which is a popular it's a popular opinion the labour party is being tended to. but for me, the biggest, the sort of weirdest thing about this is how performative starmer and the labour party are being. i mean , it's not like this is an i mean, it's not like this is an ideological announcement saying we decided that out of all the things we could cut, we've decided to go for this thing . decided to go for this thing. you know, every single mp that's been quoted, you know , quite been quoted, you know, quite infamously, diana johnson this morning, i think embarrassing her own party by saying it's not our fault. it's almost like liz truss has got a, you know, has got a hold on everyone . got a hold on everyone. >> yes. >> yes. >> and it absolutely is their fault . but >> and it absolutely is their fault. but just the point

because they upped the subsidies. >> well, the words untruth piled upon untruth is now surrounding ed milibandn today's show, including the latest official figures reveal that the number of brits requesting to change gender has risen by up to 75% in just two years, with millennials and gen zs believed to be the primary drivers of the surge. and apparently you can now register for a fiver . register for a fiver. >> yeah you can. this is going to get worse, not better. genderless britain. welcome to that hellscape welcome back to good afternoon britain. so new government data reveals an astonishing rise in the number of britons seeking to change genders. so 75% up the applications to do it in just two years. >> well, the surge driven by younger generations and a significant drop in application fees, marks a record high for gender change requests in this country. >> the labour party's recent pledge to simplify the gender recognition process could see these numbers climb even further as well. so i mean, this is really quite amazing. times we live in in a way. >> well, joining us now to discuss thi

i this to me reads like a story that has been put out there to distract from ed miliband's many otherike the grangemouth oil refinery closing. we have the obviously the winter fuel cancellation has been a political disaster for the labour party , this seems to me labour party, this seems to me as if it is an attempt to distract attention. i would . distract attention. i would. actually not be surprised at all if this didn't actually come to pass once, you know, once, once the winter fuel allowance story has faded into into memory. i think it may disappear. >> that's a very cynical point of view. >> i'm a cynical person . >> i'm a cynical person. >> i'm a cynical person. >> it's shocking, but it'd be pretty shocking if they fly this kite to just to distract from their other problems, and particularly to hear ed miliband bemoaning the closure of the grangemouth oil refinery when it's his decision to shut down all those licences in the north sea, which means investment is going to drain away from that industry. >> absolutely. i mean , i mean, >> absolutely. i mean, i mean, we can point t

why is ed miliband ditching or considering ditching our latest nuclear power station ?n't. so we'll come back to that very shortly. don't forget the papers at 1030. but last night we were on air for a developing story in which, according to a sunday times exclusive, following months of cancer treatment, princess catherine, the princess of wales, is beginning to make plans for the future and hopes to gradually focus on work again. it's thought that she'll attend the cenotaph in november and participate at a christmas carol service, among other pubuc carol service, among other public duties. so is this the good news that the world has been waiting for? let's get the views now of renowned royal author angela levin. angela, very good to see you. the mood music around this story is very positive, but what are the facts ? positive, but what are the facts? >> the facts are she has been seriously ill and i don't think that she will be able to do anything more than 1 or 2 things for the end of the year. i think the way it's been brought to us is that these are the key moments, b

a house and afford to pay off a mortgage and then another one that was commonplace a lot in the ed milibandhe idea of a precariat. are people one crisis away from oblivion? whether that's your washing machine breaking or your car breaking down? >> well , river, aren't we down? >> well, river, aren't we in a difficult position as tories that the truth is, we are not willing to say that the state needs to do less. >> and if the state is going to carry on doing what it's doing in welfare and with an ageing population, taxes are going to have to rise. >> you're absolutely right. the problem is that, as you said, the state is absolutely huge. now, the problem with keir starmer's language is that actually using the word working people, this entire notion that you can substantially increase taxes without hurting working people and by raising substantial amounts of revenue for the treasury, is completely for the treasury, is completely for the treasury, is completely for the birds. it's absolutely untrue. any time you increase taxes, it does end up hurting consumers. if you increase capital gains t

perhaps, like ed miliband, he has two kitchens or some other embarrassing luxury.it emerges. lord alli owner of the apartment that was once allegedly used just once , was allegedly used just once, was also lent to wes streeting for another labour party. happening. does this poor man or rich man ever get to sleep in his own flat? he also lent the labour mp siobhan mcdonagh, £12 million to buy a house for her terminally ill sister. so the real question is what does lord alli want for all of this ? the alli want for all of this? the nature of these donations interesting and distinctly personal. as i've disclosed before, any donation i ever received were for the conservative party of my local association. none was for me personally, nor did i take freebies. but lord alli donations are deeply personal and cover apartments, loans for houses, frocks, spectacles and even a holiday let in new york. the only real explanation is that the labour party is seeking to buy a cohort of people over whom he hopes to exert some influence, and have some measure of connection . if he ju

. >> so you would say to ed miliband, this is the wrong thing. >> no, no, i would not say that to ed ink it's probably the right thing to do because i think the signal and the symbol, to use will's word of the uk, which is committed to net zero, the symbol of us opening a new coal power plant, is negative . coal power plant, is negative. >> i can, i can, even if i was to— >> i can, i can, even if i was to accept that argument. this is about prioritisation. so if you prioritise the possibility that we may be a leader in climate solutions, whatever that means, compared with the very real and urgent impact that it has, that this has on everyday british people who are already struggling to pay bills. this isn't necessarily about whether either argument is right. this is about prioritisation and we need to prioritise people who are struggling today. >> what is that impact? just spell out that impact. sorry. >> higher energy bills three words. >> so look al gore convinced. look al gore tweeted many years ago said in a documentary he made that by 2013, all the ice caps will be melted . greta

is ed miliband right to build all these huge solar farms? land have >> well, farmers and land have always been a trade off between different uses of it . whether different uses of it. whether you're going to mine something in that piece of land, whether you're going to farm that piece of land, that's a fair point. the problem is that we don't have a national land strategy about where we want different bits of land to. there are some solar farms that you can build and still farm a certain percentage underneath them with animal, with animals, there are other areas where it's completely impossible to do a mixed, a mixed kind of environment. there needs to be a proper strategy to say what level of food production do we want in this country. let's then provide the subsidies to do that. the subsidies that the last government brought in focused far too much on getting farmers to do things, you know, kind of hedgerows. et cetera . et kind of hedgerows. et cetera. et cetera. and not really enough on producing the amounts of food that we wanted. >> we

that's coming from ed miliband's department. months, we've been told of all labour's fantastical plans that they will be funded by growing they will be funded by growing the economy. but you don't grow the economy. but you don't grow the economy. but you don't grow the economy by bashing business. the signs prove nothing has changed since margaret thatcher said this over 30 years ago. >> the fact is labour are still socialist and they deliberately set out to impose more government control over people's lives . that is where their whole lives. that is where their whole belief starts. it starts with the power of government over the lives of the people . that is why lives of the people. that is why thatis lives of the people. that is why that is the reason why they increased taxation. more power for them over our money, less power for the citizen. >> well, i couldn't have said it better myself as ever. let me know your views. mail margaret gb news. com. but with me now is my most punctilious panel. daily telegraph columnist tim sta

so you end up with a situation well , you end up with a situation well, let's assume that ed miliband renewables and all that quadrupling of offshore wind , quadrupling of offshore wind, tripling of solar power and doubung tripling of solar power and doubling of offshore onshore wind is achieved. you still might not be able to get it transmitted. so there's a gap. there's a problem with that. and that's that's a cost. somebody's got to fund that cost. and the other problem is market balancing. as we said, these are intermittent supplies. yeah there's two two issues. the import costs of electricity can be very high. and the other cost is particularly if you can't transmit the power, you've got a constraint problem. you still have to pay the developers . now have to pay the developers. now in 2021 that cost was 400 million. grid are estimating that that could be 2.5 billion by 20 2526. >> if you're somebody who understands this industry inside out , you're understands this industry inside out, you're giving us the warnings of what could happen, what could go wrong. we're not having a pr

moving on, we have a, we have in ed miliband, somebody with a religious devotion to wind power and toresting. john redwood, about 11 months ago, there was a government auction for people to bid to build wind farms in the north sea. there wasn't a single bidder, but suddenly, suddenly, they're lining up to bid to build a whopping great wind farms. even a few experimental ones that will float until they get blown away by a storm, i suspect, and now suddenly people are queuing up. what's happened? >> well, two big things changed. there was a big increase in the price that they would offer a guaranteed price for all the power these things would generate. agreed with the previous government, continue with the new government and then the new government is so desperate to make it a success. tipped a lot more direct taxpayer subsidy in as well to sweeten the thing. so of course people were queuing up because they said, oh, we can get a guaranteed return and there's an up front subsidy to help us build the thing out. there's still massive problems. the government hasn't said how they're going

ed miliband has scrapped any north sea oil and gas. they've, you know , they've gas.ged all this work around renewables and decrease in carbon. so just stop oil have got what they wanted. why are they still chucking soup over. nice paintings? >> i actually don't know why. i mean, and i like that you said they'd look a bit dirty because they'd look a bit dirty because they do. and i think maybe it's because there's oil in soaps, isn't there? yeah so maybe they won't be able to use anything, but they say oil and soup as well, guys. so you kind of threw oil and oil i don't know. i think they've kind of worn out their goodwill. i'm all for protest. yeah yeah, definitely. i'm all for protests. i think it's really important. the suffragettes weren't exactly, you know, friendly and cuddly, and they were irritating people. thatis and they were irritating people. that is what protest is. but i think it's . i want my art as think it's. i want my art as well. you know, i don't want that. you know, i'm a fan of van gogh. >> st giles' raises a good point that the suffragettes were

. £8 billion to ed miliband's fantasy energy company doesn't produce any energy whatsoever, and he'sillion pensioners. >> one might say the conservative position here would to be do neither. >> of course, there are some people who are on good incomes, but there are also millions of pensioners who are not, and there are pensioners who are on as little as £13,000 a year, who this autumn and winter, when energy prices are on the rise, are going to be £600 worse off. >> are you really saying that as a conservative party leader, you will be supporting universal welfare rather than targeted welfare rather than targeted welfare for people if they happen to be older? >> those issues very carefully. the difficulty with means testing is always that it is the difficulty with means harder than you might imagine. but the point here is. keir starmer is making a choice. i think it's a bad choice, a selfish choice, and it reveals a lot about his personality and his politics. giving to money placate his union paymasters, taking it away from poor pensioners. i think that's shameful. >> well, the times

ed miliband says the government will always support israel while holding it accountable. >> we've alwaysd, and we believe that israel has an absolute right to defend itself, but within international law. and the foreign secretary took advice as he said he would . on advice as he said he would. on whether there was a risk that british arms sales would be used in breach of international law. that's why he made the decision he did to ban the export of some arms to israel . arms to israel. >> to the tory leadership race now. and tom tugendhat has thrown his hat into the ring. the shadow secretary minister says he's been setting out his vision for the future of the party and the nation. mr tugendhat is one of six tory mps vying to be rishi sunak's successor. he says he will promise to reset the party's relationship with the public and to return to honesty in politics. five children have been arrested over the murder of an 80 year old man in leicestershire. he was walking his dog in franklin park when he was seriously assaulted by a group of young people on sunday, and died in hospital. a boy
