people are not going what james cleverly addressing what james cleverly said directly there about howifferent people in very prominent positions of power in this country, especially politically, who come from a variety of different ethnic minority backgrounds. and he says that actually, because we've got that because we are colonialism. >> well, i think it's like everything, you know, it's context for the for the individuals, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their heritage, i mean, james cleverly is a, you know, is entitled to his views, but i think what he exhibits is a term of minority response to dominance . so he is accepting dominance. so he is accepting a lot of history, he's not avoiding it . and it's definitely avoiding it. and it's definitely not aggressively opposing it. that's the sort of thing i do because we know that certain parts of history are very chequered. and unfortunately, until quite recently, they didn't even teach slavery . they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't teach even

and they have been slow off the mark. >> james cleverly speaking to us this morning. >> james cleverlyng . well, turning to this morning. well, turning to the middle east, family members of british embassy workers in beirut have been evacuated from the region amid fears of an all out war between israel and lebanon. the government's also renewing calls for all british citizens to leave immediately, with the military understood to be on standby to get people out of the middle east. tensions in the region are still high after leaders of the lebanese militant group hezbollah and hamas were assassinated last week in the us, vice president kamala harris is expected to announce her running mate later after interviewing three top candidates. her shortlist of all white men have a record of winning over rural, white and independent voters. the decision will be pivotal as harris prepares to challenge donald trump in the upcoming november election, following president biden's exit from the race. the candidates are understood to be informed either tonight or tomorrow morning, whether they've been p

james cleverly is secretary james cleverly is taking all the credit for it. >> yes, indeed . and could labour >> yes, indeed. and could labour bnng >> yes, indeed. and could labour bring back freedom of movement? such a move could see young europeans to free come and live in the uk for up to three years. as part of a wider reset with brussels, but as the master negotiator, sir keir starmer, just trying to take us back into the eu by the back door and superyacht mystery. >> five bodies have now been identified , including tech identified, including tech tycoon mike lynch. but the search for his 18 year old daughter continues unanswered questions remain over what on earth caused the vessel to sink ? earth caused the vessel to sink? >> yes, indeed. and we have a gb news exclusive on reform uk to bnng news exclusive on reform uk to bring you. we'll be hearing from the chairman of the party. you don't want to miss that . don't want to miss that. >> now, if you can remember , if >> now, if you can remember, if you have a longer memory than a couple of years, you will remember that

and, you know, james cleverly said this.e went to the usa, he went to washington, and he spoke about it with diplomats there. he said, the only way we're going to deal with this is if we work together. people aren't going to stop trying to flee danger. >> but pointing for me personally, pointing to the conservative party as having the answer to this riddle, a riddle on the right and the left. >> they that they tend to agree with this. >> we need to think completely outside the box. >> i'll play james cleverly in a second. >> we need to build fortress britain basically, we need to start putting the british people in front of international. >> i think that's naive and i think that is no, listen, when people are rioting and protesting and smashing up their communities because they're so frustrated with not having what politicians promised them, which was control. >> i mean, this is the thing, zoe. this is what people were promised. lower migration control of the borders. they were given the opposite of that. no wonder they're f

so james cleverly has got a lot of gall to claim that he's this great migration sceptic hero.he numbers he presided over are still absolutely catastrophic for the whole country. now will laboun for the whole country. now will labour, exceed them and put them up again? i certainly think labour lacks the appetite to bnng labour lacks the appetite to bring immigration down to anything like the level that most voters would like to see it at, but they'd be going some to exceed the tory aggregate level over the last three years. so i think a plague on both their houses. i think you're right that they might lean towards some version of free movement, which would go against the spirit of their own election pledges. they're clearly not going to remove many asylum seekers. they've allowed the people who were banned under the illegal migration act, which they've dumped to then come onto they've dumped to then come onto the asylum register. this is all terrible, but i don't think the tories are in any position to lecture the new government. >> particularly happy about it. fair enough. oka

so priti patel, james cleverly, tom tugendhat, mel stride kemi badenoch and robert jenrick have saidarty as a member, nor sit on tory benches as an mp. and i think we've got this clip, it's a far cry from this moment at tory conference when prissy and nigel were sharing a boogie together. la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. oh those were the those were the better days, weren't they, emma. when. yeah, i think they, emma. when. yeah, i think they were getting along. >> yeah. i think it's absolutely hilarious. do you think that nigel farage is going to give a flying, an absolute. do you think he's going to give a monkeys about about being cancelled by, you know, he'd say the leaders boring, boring , the leaders boring, boring, boring. he's really not going to be cut up about this . why on be cut up about this. why on earth when reform are riding high, when nigel farage is riding high, why on earth would he want to join a sinking ship. >> look, a new polling. i can't remember where it was . i should remember where it was. i should

. >> tory leadership contenders robert jenrick and james cleverly reveal what they'd do differently. >> it's the pop culture battle of the ages. oasis versus taylor swift as new polling points to who brits put on top. >> united by grief, prince harry makes a secret dash to the uk to attend a family funeral alongside the prince of wales. >> good morning. the post southgate era is now upon us and there's a return for both harry maguire and jack grealish to lead carsley's first england squad. we'll pick through the first ai generated champions league draw and in tennis we'll be across british interest at the us open. >> hello. very good morning to you. whilst it is going to be a mostly fine day for many of us today, there is the risk of some thunder tomorrow. i'll have the details coming up shortly. >> just gone 6:00. i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie costello and this is gb news. breakfast. >> now, things are not looking for good us, aren't they? us weekend workers. >> oh, dear. why not? >> oh, dear. why not? >> i'll tell you for why. because it's on the front page of many of the papers

no, no, no to farage with james cleverly. haven't heard back from him, but as things stand, he's turned his face against him too. >> it would take a biblical miracle for james. >> clever to phone you now. maybe that was him calling a minute ago and say, by the way, i've changed my mind. i think it was farage. >> it was one of the teams. i won't say which, but i'm sure james cleverly won't. >> isn't going to happen. it's a straight juke now, isn't it? this is a straight jo cox. so now there's no chance of cross—pollination. is that a mistake? because if the tory party are trying to do what they've been doing since brexit, since the early days of europe, trying to be all bodies to all people, they can't do that. they can't please everybody on net zero. they can't please everybody on immigration. they can't. they didn't please everybody on brexit. they held it together with a sticking plaster. now, if they're ostensibly saying can they get away with saying this is about farage, the man, the individual, or will voters say , well,

, and lee evans , james cleverly, and lee evans, i'm going to interrupt you there because that's thed we're going to do that as another gb news exclusive later on this week . exclusive later on this week. >> let's get back to this one, because there's enough meat on the bone here to dig into one of the bone here to dig into one of the astonishing lines that leapt out from your report at facts4eu's .org, was that you don't think this is the true figure? do you think the true figure? do you think the true figure could be even higher? you estimate it could even go as high as £10 billion per year. this is simply. lee evans unsustainable, >> yes , it most definitely is. >> yes, it most definitely is. and, the reason we say what what we say is because it's based on experience. eight years working seven days a week, interrogating information like this, you gain a sense . and so what we've done a sense. and so what we've done in our report , which you're in our report, which you're covering is quantified what we know of. but we never quantify what we don't know of. we just simply suggest tha

priti patel is fighting kemi badenoch james cleverly robert jenrick mel stride and tom tugendhat to bee next conservative leader. do any of those guys take your pick ? but has she just take your pick? but has she just blown it with that rather tone deaf answer on immigration to our political editor, christopher hope? that full clip coming shortly, but next, harry and meghan's immense security detail in colombia revealed helicopters, drones, 14 police cars and a flurry of vans to boot. cars and a flurry of vans to boot . so who's paying for it boot. so who's paying for it all? nick peiser, the senior global reporter at the man online, is the ground in for us next. he's live. this is ben leo tick. welcome back to ben leo. tonight only on gb news. i was about to say we're going to cross to bogota in colombia to speak with the mayor, don lie—ins, senior global reporter on the harry and meghan faux royal tour. but apparently nick's been, i don't know, kidnapped by some cartels or something because he's having some trouble connecting with us. so we're going to go back to our panel now. nina,

but next, tory leadership hopeful james cleverly is furious with liberal luvvies who are embarrassedial history. >> i find it both baffling and frustrating, this kind of lazy trope that the left deploy all the time, which is always to, you know, hate, hate your own country . country. >> all right, so should lefties stop apologising for britain's colonial history? former culture secretary michelle donelan is going head to head with the former chairman of the black police association, leroy logan. thatis police association, leroy logan. that is a proper head to head andifs next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now coming up is labour's plan to allow workers to demand a four day week, an attempt to just appease their union paymasters or, as i suspect, anyway, maybe the civil service. but first, is it time we stopped apologising for britain's history? it's time now for the head to head . okay, so for the head to head. okay, so tory leadership hopeful james cleverly has blasted what he calls liberal luvvies for their apologetic attitude towards britain's colonial history. he was

. >> i'm going to play james cleverly in a second, because i think we all need to take a seat and hear >> but before i do ben habib, well, i'm staggered that anyone is claiming anything good about these figures . 1.2 million these figures. 1.2 million people came to the uk in the in the year to 30th june 2024. that's only down by 50 or 100,000 from last year. but these figures are massive . when these figures are massive. when you think that the population of this country is 68 million and in the last five years, in the last five years, we've had 5 million people. gross come to the uk. they quote the net figure, but actually they need to look at the growth figure. when you're looking at the impact on society, the net figure is relevant for economic impact. but the gross figure is it has a serious impact on the culture and the way we interact in our communities and so on. and you've got to look at both of them. and the gross figures are completely out of control, >> let me play you a masterclass in modesty if you would like james cleverly, we have seen applications reduce. >> we have se

the answer is it's james cleverly. oh, not so cleverly. james i bet he hears that all the time.ink he is. closest answer wins. okay. so question two how many viewers stroke listeners did elon musk and donald trump interview or did he get did the interview get 1.3 million 1.3 million? yeah, that was the live number, >> i'm wondering what the hell people were doing, to be honest. but nevertheless, i'd got about a million people, wasn't it 1 million people? >> you're saying the answer is 1 billion people? actually billion. >> that was the whole amount. well, that's what i asked. >> 1 billion. >> 1 billion. >> sorry. i thought it was just 1 billion. yeah, it was 1 billion. >> you still win because you got 1.3 million for wins. well done. there's one all one all. did you get it at home? question three which famous reality tv couple broke broke up this week ? broke broke up this week? >> no idea . >> no idea. >> no idea. >> i know, i know, it's. come on, lee fury and whatever her name is, and i'm really sorry. i don't know, but that's the couple. >> i'm afraid i can't give you that. y

have criticised the prime minister over pay offers to train drivers and junior doctors, with james cleverlyaiming the government has been plagued by its union paymasters. train drivers on lner are to stage a series of strikes, claiming a breakdown in industrial relations and breaking of agreements. hundreds of members of aslef will walk out every weekend for a total of 22 days. this dispute is separate from the long running dispute over pay, which is set to be resolved after a new offer this week from the government . this week from the government. two men have received the longest prison sentences yet in relation to rioting that erupted in parts of england and northern ireland after the southport stabbings. 48 year old david wilkinson, who was jailed for six years, and john honey were part of a baying mob who attacked a car containing three romanian men in hull on the 3rd of august. 25 year old honey also looted shops and received a sentence of four years and eight months. more than 1000 people have been arrested so far over the disorder, with around 480 charged and at least 99 sentences h

so the shadow home secretary, james cleverly, just a month ago was home secretary himself, he is sayingthe government should be hauling tech firms into downing street to be grilling them on misinformation, ensuring it is not being spread. earlier this week the prime minister gave somewhat of a warning to social media companies. he talked about violence being "whipped up online", reminding them this is a crime. quite a legalistic language as you might expect from the former director of public prosecutions. we heard again this morning that ministers have been talking to social media companies about this, but the emphasis does seem to be on talking to them, getting them to take their existing responsibilities as seriously as possible, rather than adding extra new laws around that. earlier my colleague lucy grey spoke to the home office minister dame diana johnson, who started by giving her reaction to the past week's events. this has been a very tough and difficult week. it started on monday with the horrific attack in southport and i think the country is still reeling with shock from that

so the shadow home secretary, conservative james cleverly, just untiljust a month ago, who was the homeecretary himself. he is saying that the government should be hauling tech firms into downing street to be, you know, really grilling them on this misinformation, ensuring it's not being spread. now, earlier this week, the prime minister did give some of a warning to social media companies. he talked about violent disorder being what he described as whipped up online, reminding them that that was a crime. and he was saying, you know, this is happening on your premises, quite legalistic language, as you might expect from a former director of public prosecutions. and then we've been hearing again this morning that ministers have been talking to social media companies about this, but the emphasis does seem to be on talking to them, getting them to take their existing responsibilities seriously rather than sort of adding any extra new laws around that. earlier my colleague lucy grey spoke to the home office minister, dame diana johnson, who started by giving her reaction to the past week's

we've also heard from the conservative shadow home secretary, james cleverly, who says that, um, he'sw, people who are involved in violence and attacks on police. he's saying this can never be justified and that you can't let rioting thugs and extremists win. there's been a lot of political reaction. some calls for parliament to be recalled? yeah. that's right. so this has come from the conservative former home secretary priti patel. she's saying that it should be recalled immediately. she's put out quite a long statement on social media, butjust summarising some of her points on this, she says that this is a moment for national reflection. she says that parliament should speak with one voice in condemnation. in terms of how likely that is, she's the only mp i've spotted so far who is calling for this, but worth noting, though david cameron did recall parliament in august 2011 when there were riots. so those were different to this and they were on, um, quite a much bigger scale to what we've seen so far, i think. and also remember that parliament has had a shortened summer break alrea

others running down priti patel , mel stride tom priti patel, mel stride tom tugendhat, james cleverlygst favorability in a positive positive favourability amongst tory voters. at last month's election, behind cleverly and tugendhat. so he's seen as one of the ones to watch who could be in the final two to go to the membership in the back end of october. but there are six runners and riders. they'll go down to four in the first week of september. around the 4th of september, and then just after the party conference, just two final candidates. it's quite a big deal . final candidates. it's quite a big deal. this leadership campaign. each candidate can raise up to £400,000 to enter the race. they've got a guarantee they can pay cchq £200,000. i think after 2:00 i'll show you around the set of the generic launch. it is pretty glitzy, pretty american looking, which i think you might find quite surprising what he'll be saying though robert jenrick is his party. his party has a mountain to climb and that mountain to climb and that mountain may as well be mount everest. given the scale of lab

kemi badenoch dame priti patel, mel stride tom tugendhat, james cleverly and mrjenrick himself.do think that it's likely to be someone like kemi badenoch robert jenrick possibly, maybe. tom tugendhat might get there, but i think that's where the kind of base of the party is, is broadly left, is left or centre ground at the moment, compared to being a right wing party in last parliament. and that does mean they might try and push out some of the right wing candidates , which could cause a candidates, which could cause a problem. i think with the base of the party, which is quite much more right wing. so that kind of schism is a problem. but we heard it from robert jenrick. he said he would like to bring back maybe the rwanda plan that's workable if he becomes prime minister after the next election, he would look to leave the european convention on human rights. he says the party has got to stop promising and delivering on net migration, a huge failure there and also on taxation. so i think he's trying to find a way to here rebuild the party's confidence after the disastrous elect

there was a very big difference after this, this bunch on the screen now james cleverly robert jenrickat, mel stride priti patel and kemi badenoch, who is the biggest character there, who's the most boris esque? >> if we're talking just on pure personality. >> oh gosh, could it be pretty, hasn't it? i suppose it has to be, yes. yeah, yeah . she's the be, yes. yeah, yeah. she's the only one that. yeah, yeah. >> i worry that if kimmy's personality, which is obviously she's very feisty, very intelligent , but if, she's intelligent, but if, she's pretty abrasive and whether the pubuc pretty abrasive and whether the public want that abrasiveness at the moment from a party that they're struggling to listen to. >> but, matthew, you mentioned sir keir starmer there, his net approval rating has plummeted in two weeks from 19% to just 3%. well of course, in the wake of these horrible scenes going on across the country, the riots following on from the southport killings , what's going on there? killings, what's going on there? has the government got a problem on their hands? >> i think the key th

but james cleverly was previously the home secretary, he says it doesn't go far enough, he says thishe surface and is not nearly ambitious enough. rules for travellers going to the european union from non—member countries will be changing over the next 18 months. a new seven—euro visa waiver is being introduced and will cover people from more than 60 non—eu nations, including the uk. it means brits going to popular holiday destinations, such as spain and france, will have to pay in advance. our business presenter ben bolous has more details. there are two main changes coming in. the first is an electronic entry and exit system. the second is the european travel information and authorisation system — a mouthful, but it's basically a form for any non—eu passport holders to fill in and pay for before travelling. now, the first one of those, the entry—exit system, will track where and when people enter and leave the eu. that's to make sure that you haven't stayed over the allowed 90 days in a six—month period. we'll have fingerprints taken and a face scan for the first time, but we won't

that might be a james cleverly, a great performer, but is he?ampaign fell apart after just a week last time. is he someone who can do that, i don't know . i he someone who can do that, i don't know. i think that, you know, there's lots of options here, and we, we haven't yet really got got through them all. i mean, i think. yeah, i think jenrick is the one i'm looking at. probably. but don't forget. sorry but but david cameron was a 21 to 1 outsider the week before the party conference when he blew them away with that speech. david davis, you remember very clearly. >> that's right. he was the. but how did the tories become relevant again? chris, we've got a new government. people are wishing them well. i'm wishing this government well. how do they become relevant when you've got an insurgent farage party talking to a very senior person in number 10 yesterday? >> well, i've interviewed mel stride for my podcast. he started laughing. i mean , they started laughing. i mean, they just don't care who the leader is because look at those numbers two, f

james cleverly front page of the express on this one. >> yep yep.leverly is running to be leader of the tory party. and yes, finally , who would have known? finally, who would have known? i mean, how many of them are there? >> many of them. yeah. >> many of them. yeah. >> other left. quite quite quite claire. and he is telling keir starmer i do find this a bit rich. get a grip. and fast. labouris rich. get a grip. and fast. labour is doing nothing to stop the boats. the big headline on the boats. the big headline on the express, he's obviously saying that that keir starmer is losing control of the immigrant situation. we had one of the highest days of crossings, i think the highest day under labour's reign in the last 30 or so days, 700 people came here yesterday, two people died, two people died in the french side of the waters. correct, and, james cleverly is saying that keir starmer has lost control because it's no longer the rwanda deterrent. and therefore that's going to open the doors. and i do agree there would have been some deterrent there.

the shadow home secretary, james cleverly, suggests the labour government isn't doing enough. >> the their energy is too low. the national crime agency, which said it needed a deterrent. and yet the first thing the government did upon entering office was to scrap that very deterrent. they still haven't recruited a commander for this phantom border command. and what we're seeing now is their rhetoric is falling apart. their actions are falling. well below what the country needs . below what the country needs. >> pakistani web developer is facing a criminal charge over claims he helped spread misinformation about the accused southport attacker. documents shared exclusively with gb news show that 32 year old fahim asif has been charged with cyber terrorism after false claims quickly spread online that the suspect, accused of killing three young girls was a muslim immigrant to the uk. pakistani police say that asif claims he is not the original source of the false information, but reposted it from social media and official figures show the rising cost of public services and benefits caus

the shadow home secretary james cleverly said it was very important to make a clear section between whatr discussion about immigration and asylum issues. in belfast the northern ireland assembly are set to be recalled to discuss the finance that happened there on saturday. some mps, a handful have said westminster parliament should do to discuss the balance. the causes and the response. but cert keir starmer was clear today that is not on the cards at the moment.— was clear today that is not on the cards at the moment. then right, thank you- _ a vigil is being held tonight in southport on merseyside for the three children who were stabbed to death a week ago today. nine—year—old alice dasilva aguiar, seven—year—old elsie dot stancombe and six—year—old bebe king were killed at a taylor swift—themed dance class. eight other children and two adults were also injured. fiona trott reports. in dark times a place of light and colour. where families in southport show their support. it means so much to the family of leanne lucas, who was running the class that day and tried to protect the childre

tom tugendhat, dame priti patel, kemi badenoch, robert jenrick and james cleverly have all previouslywelcome. well, thank you to my panel welcome. well, thank you to my panel. up next, the british army are facing a serious recruitment crisis. yet highly trained afghan soldiers who previously trained with british forces or being blocked from joining. i'll being blocked from joining. i'll be talking about this with jamal barrack, who has worked closely with afghan forces in the past and welcome back now. afghan soldiers are being blocked from joining the british army for five years. despite the current recruitment crisis in our armed forces. the eligibility rules mean that elite afghan troops who train with the uk's special forces are now left either unemployed or working as cleaners, and even takeaway delivery drivers. now the mod is facing pressure to change those rules to try and ease issues with that lack of personnel. and joining me now to discuss this is one of those soldiers, jamal barrack, who worked alongside the british army from 2002 to 2016, in afghanistan. jamal, welcome to

well, james cleverly, who has just been home secretary, has done exactly that.n massive outcry , has been massive outcry, progress has been made. i think the point is that that was a very strong interview as part of her pitch to be leader. there are lots of great candidates who are lots of great candidates who are looking to be leader. the really important point here is that we now have control. we didn't have control before when we were in the european union. do you think conservative voters actually listen to what you're saying and believe that there was control of borders during that period? >> 2,675,000 net inward last yean >> 2,675,000 net inward last year, the last term of the conservative party in what planet is that? controlling borders. well, i'm certainly in agreement that we should be reducing net migration further, and i'd like to see that come right down. >> but you've got to do one other thing, which is something that i was talking to you a moment ago about, which is have more children in your country and to fill the jobs in the nhs, as she referen

. —— you mentioned. james cleverly has said, there is not and can never be any excuse, justificationnd disorder plaguing our streets and the government must use all the available resources to punish those responsible, so there does appear to be some unity at least between the prime minister and those two conservative leadership candidates. but going back to what the prime minister said, but going back to what the prime ministersaid, it but going back to what the prime minister said, it was a fairly short but a strong statement and he said he can guarantee that those taking part in this violent disorder will regret it and he said, this is not protests, it is organised, violent thuggery and he described the people who have attacked the police and have broken into that hotel in rotherham, he has described them as marauding gangs, intent on lawbreaking and he said that people in this country have a right to feel safe. he also made it very clear, he said, if you are targeting someone because of the colour of their skin, you are far right. we have heard over the past couple of days that fa

robert jenrick, i think is very sound, i think james cleverly is very sound.for during the time of the eu referendum. we were both on the side of brexit. he was utterly brilliant. >> yes. i mean, this is actually good news for the tory party insofar as, you know, all of these candidates seem to have their merits. >> oh yeah. i'm not suggesting that they don't. i just don't think that that any of them will actually go through to be the leader come the election time . leader come the election time. this is a temporary leader for the for this particular period . the for this particular period. what the tory party have to do is work out what they want to be. that's the job of the new leader. >> can i ask you as well, just the point that suzanne raised earlier, which i think is very interesting in terms of identity politics, which is something that labour like to talk about having a black woman as prime minister, as the leader of your party. it does put them streets ahead from anything that labour have ever achieved. >> yeah, i mean labour haven't had a woman yet a

but as shadow home secretary james cleverly said last night.weeks and still no sign of labour's phantom border command or a single gang smashed. so they'd better get a move on, because it appears we struggle to rid ourselves of violent migrants once they do hit our shores. it was also revealed today that the kurdish man seen here trying to kill a london commuter by pushing him onto tube tracks, was in fact a sex crime migrant already facing deportation from britain for a utany deportation from britain for a litany of criminal behaviour. brazier shoes, 24, shoved the stranger onto the tracks as a train approached in february because he thought he gave him a dirty look. yes, that's all it took. he was recently convicted of attempted murder for that behaviour . of attempted murder for that behaviour. but the of attempted murder for that behaviour . but the truth of attempted murder for that behaviour. but the truth is, he shouldn't have even been here in the first place. schorsch had 12 convictions for 21 offences, including assault, anti—social b
