as a reminder the status of habib's lounge habibie lounges and permits is that they are conditionally granted and have not yet been issued. >> they've submitted all their they have not submit all of their required paperwork and nor have they completed all their required dvi inspections yet. so however, even if the outstanding items are completed before the appeal hearing on february 26th there's actually a stay on the permits decision and they can't use the permits until after the board of appeals hearing on february 26th. so i will keep you all posted. we may have an update of the outcome of the appeal hearing at our next hearing on march 4th. >> we'll let you know how that goes. >> do you know what part of it they are appealing or is it just my understanding is that they are appealing the decision that you made to limit their entertainment till 2 a.m.. they had requested the ability to go until 3 a.m. friday, saturday and sunday mornings and you conditioned them so they could only have entertainment until two inside. >> i believe that is the basis but we only get a one pager with th

let's open this to you, ben habib.st been hearing there then about these new changes when it comes to policing and the ease at which a police force would be able to get rid of a potential wrong'un. >> well, i think it is a dark day for the police. you know, if we are to trust the police with policing the nation, we have to trust them with policing their own organisation and actually the right to dismiss someone for whatever reason from an organisation has to be a much lower bar than a judicial process. you know, a police officer or indeed someone employed in private enterprise or any other of the public sector bodies has a duty to fulfil and their ability to fulfil and their ability to fulfil that duty has to be judged by their superiors. and if the superiors judge them, incapable of fulfilling that duty, whatever that duty is, then there has to be a mechanism by which to terminate their employment. this is not you can't go to trial every time you want to dismiss someone from employment. it just doesn't make any sense.

ben habib, the chairman of the great british pack. what's the great british pack.'s the great british pack? >> well, it pack is short for political action committee. so it's an american thing. they have lots of packs in the states and they use it not just to. it's not a think tank. it's more like a think tank combined with a pressure group, combined with a pressure group, combined with a policy making draft legislation, production and choosing candidates, training candidates, getting them ready for office, making sure that people like reform uk and the conservative party have not just the policies, but the draft legislation and the people to implement them. >> do you get it? is that clear? clear? is that clear as mustard to everyone at home? alongside him, we've also got the former deputy leader. no, i was just going to say the former deputy leader of reform. but that's not you. >> that's me. it's also him. >> that's me. it's also him. >> that's me. it's also him. >> that's what. >> that's what. >> matt would like to be. >> matt would like to be. >> matthew laza, t

so joining me for the next few hours, the former deputy leader of reform uk, ben habib, and also co—founderf novara media, aaron bastani. coming up in my niggle, i thought sir keir starmer was going to smash the gangs. >> to make it work is to smash the gangs that are running the vile trade. >> and instead he's making things more attractive to them. as labour pushed for a change in the tories illegal migration act, which will mean migrant adults can say that they are children and most children migrants end up being allowed to stay. why on earth would sir keir starmer be doing this when he previously had this to say.7 >> the previous government were running an open borders experiment. >> so what is this? surely, prime minister, you are now trying to run your own. so for the great british debate this yean the great british debate this year, i'm asking our labour making the uk more attractive to illegal migrants. you can also cast your vote on our gb news poll. go to gbnews.com/poll. and in our great british debate this houn in our great british debate this hour, i'm asking should the uk join
