starmer ? who is sir keir is starmer?ir keir starmer to throw shade at nigel farage with his own glib catchphrases empty rhetoric and false piety? starmer is a populist himself, just not a very popular one. and finally, in a statement of the bleeding obvious, starmer declared that wait for it, racism is vile. is it? indeed. thanks for that. who on god's earth doesn't think that racism is vile? this was starmer posturing of the highest order. i'm amazed that he didn't declare some other great insight , declare some other great insight, such as the catholic leanings of the pope, or the fact that bears have a propensity to relieve themselves in the woods. a robotic ai generated speech from a robotic ai generated prime minister computer says no. well, for reaction to that and the big stories of the week, i'm delighted to welcome chloe dobbs a&e 12, and delighted to welcome chloe dobbs a&e12, and emma delighted to welcome chloe dobbs a&e 12, and emma woolf. good to a&e12, and emma woolf. good to see all three of you. emma. i'l

this is the point that keir starmer makes . and that keir starmer makes. starmer just doesn't get it. he says no rules were broken. but what he doesn't understand is what he did break was the people's trust. those people, those few people that 21% who actually did for vote him, i'm just going to say, because i'm sure that lisa is bursting to jump in here, but it's not just about we've stayed within the rules . within the rules. >> we. so what? >> we. so what? >> i've heard prominent broadcasters with that excuse. >> no, honestly, they all say the law wasn't broken. >> it's the spirit of the rules that they talk about . that they talk about. >> so annoying. because what really matters is perception. the perception of the public here, that's what actually matters. and the fact is, just because you massage things around a little bit and you manage to push them in behind one rule or another, that makes no difference to the public. the pubuc no difference to the public. the public are clearly outraged at this, and it has traction . this this, and it has tractio

i think it was the challenge for keir starmer— it was the challenge for keir starmer is whether he can a — that and carry the country with him on a wave of goodwill in a way— him on a wave of goodwill in a way that— him on a wave of goodwill in a way that tony blair did. because my understanding of the relative _ because my understanding of the relative approval rating is that— relative approval rating is that keir starmer begins as many— that keir starmer begins as many politicians do these days.... _ many politicians do these days,... whether keir starmer canfind— days,... whether keir starmer can find a _ days,... whether keir starmer can find a way to bring people with— can find a way to bring people with him _ can find a way to bring people with him in the same way. we've talked about _ with him in the same way. we've talked about whether _ with him in the same way. we've talked about whether keir i talked about whether keir starmer has that quicksilver as a leader... to be able to turn things... and make quick decisions and i think there are still question marks about those attri

what does it mean for keir starmer ? has it mean for keir starmer?ines ? headlines? >> emily thank you. the top stories. labour has reaffirmed its decision to cut the winter fuel payment , after party fuel payment, after party delegates voted for the government to reverse the move to save the winter fuel , save to save the winter fuel, save the winter fuel, save the winter fuel. while there's nothing binding about the vote, it puts further pressure on labour over its decision to take away the benefit from millions of pensioners. the motion was put forward by the unite union, which has accused the government of embarking on, quote, austerity. mark two. whilst it's austerity. mark two. whilst it's a step in the right direction, unite unions general secretary sharon graham told gb news the vote should have happened 5001191'. >> soonen >> well, look, i think this vote should have happened on tuesday. i mean, the vote was down under the economy debate on tuesday and i think it is disrespectful to the issue that we weren't heanng to the issue that we weren

for ages there's in sort of labour circles, people have talked privately about "the lads" around keir starmergroup. and a sort of group, that image that's created is a group of sort of quite arrogant men all working for starmer, all quite pleased with themselves and all really a bit too ruthless and maybe also a bit too clever by half. rosie duffield has said on the record that she thinks keir starmer has a women problem and that the lads are in charge. now, i'm not saying that's true or not, but for somebody to say it on the record, that's something i think that's really going to cut through. "the lads are in charge" i think, is the phrase that merely might cut through, particularly with women, but also with a lot of members of the public and with a lot of people in the labour party. i don't know, henry, if you would, if you would agree with that. but i thought, ah, that is something that really might stick here. i absolutely agree with that. and the sort of "lads dispute" actually isn'tjust one between labour backbenchers and the labour leadership. you have people working in the government

lisa says because we were talking about the different names for keir starmer. karma, is what she's saying. it's a bit of korma. >> indeed. very funny. and in the last hour, if you were watching, i read a message out from somebody who was welsh . i from somebody who was welsh. i said before i read it, i'm going to butcher your name because i don't know how to pronounce it. it was spelt c e i lo g. anyway, you've got back in touch with me after my request for the correct pronunciation. it's kellogg, so. hi, ben. it means cockerel in welsh, pronounced kellogg. so i'm happy to correct that. and i did some googling in the break and apparently kellogg, the reason kellogg's the cereal brand has a cockerel on its cornflakes box is because it means cockerel in welsh. you are right. >> although he did say massive at the beginning and we thought that was a little trap. so then we sort of thought we'd better check that out, because it didn't quite seem right. yeah. >> you said you said hi ben. it means massive cockerel in welsh, but i googled it and it massive wasn't in the

so keir starmer is going there to meet with ursula von der lie—in. adowing all of that, as you're saying, martin, is the issue of freebies. this issue of wajid ali's flat , we saw starmer wajid ali's flat, we saw starmer staying there. he's owned up to that. he's talked about that, but he also did broadcast from there with family photos behind him, not really clear why , but him, not really clear why, but what we're told by number 10 and his team is that he didn't want to, broadcast from home because of privacy reasons, and that's his home. so he did it from waheed ali's flat. and we'll be pressing him more when we see him later. for gb news. but last night i asked him a question. i think viewers and listeners may want to know why not just give back all the free stuff you've had, the glasses, the suit , the had, the glasses, the suit, the clothing. like like another labour mp has been doing when she is sent gear free through the post or given to her. and here's what he had to say. a labour mp for south shields, emma lewell—buck, gives her freebies to

what about the longevity of keir starmer? very committed to starmer. i think he's got a strong mandate and has transformed the party that he'll be here at the next election. theo walcott usherwood is on on, on current form. that's not going to happen. what do you think? >> i think, i think the fact that sleaze has come up so early on in his premiership is highly embarrassing, because of course, his whole, you know, raison d'etre is being the anti—sleaze prime minister. so if it carries on like this , if he gets these on like this, if he gets these sort of accusations for another five years, it doesn't bode well. >> isn't this a case of, you know, getting that sort of dirty laundry sorted out early doors? don't we just dispense, you know, you're in the media. you're the. you're you're sort of head honcho at the mail on sunday, and you know that tomorrow's papers are. what is it? you know, fish and chip wrapping . wrapping. >> there will be the next scandal. they will, will be. and he might wriggle out of this, but especially if

keir starmer has.you went through a raft of policies there and you were quite surprisingly complimentary about them. i know so many left wingers, so many leftie colleagues in the media who are now saying i didn't vote labour, who feel labour voters, who feel ashamed, who feel appalled at what their government have done and what they've voted in. people are either pretending they didn't vote labour or they're disassociating themselves completely with this, with this government. and i think it's all falling apart. i'm not sure he'll last five years. i hope he doesn't last five months. he's not being honest with us, mark. say what you like about boris johnson and his colourful past and his you know, many children and ex—wives and all of that at least we knew where he was living and who he was living with. i think keir starmer is actually a really dishonest man, and i think it's unravelling fast . indeed. unravelling fast. indeed. >> and of course, boris's behaviour as a human being was pnced behaviour as

so, so much about keir starmer . so, so much about keir starmer. labour government is for pr take again that veterans pledge. that's exactly the kind of policy you do. day one entering 10 downing street. they announced it during this conference because the proverbial has hit the fan with regards to polling. 6 in 10 brits don't trust keir starmer 29% in one general election poll . 29% in one general election poll. and last weekend he was more unpopular than rishi sunak. so this is really throwing the kitchen sink at the problem. and the issue is when you throw the kitchen sink at problems, actually they may not have thought about it. actually, it may not be that deliverable. >> well, one of the challenges. >> well, one of the challenges. >> so do we believe him? i mean, we all remember gordon brown's great gillian duffy mess up where he left his microphone on and he referred to her as a bigoted woman. i believe that thatis bigoted woman. i believe that that is the view of the labour party elite towards people who are worried about mass immigration.

that is the message that we hearfrom sir keir starmer today. we hear from sir keir starmer toda . ~ . ., today. we are waiting for the prime minister _ today. we are waiting for the prime minister sir _ today. we are waiting for the prime minister sir keir - today. we are waiting for the l prime minister sir keir starmer to appear on the stage in liverpool at that podium. somebody is walking across the stage in front of everybody. let's have a quick listen. my name is _ let's have a quick listen. my name is matthew conroy and for the first— name is matthew conroy and for the first time this year i have worked — the first time this year i have worked for a labour government. applause — applause i am 21, studying ppe at manchester university. my parents' _ manchester university. my parents' live look very different to mine at this age. my mum _ different to mine at this age. my mum let's look at 16 got a job. _ my mum let's look at 16 got a job, my— my mum let's look at 16 got a job, my dad left school and no qualifications in ireland, working on building sites to -et working on buildin

keir starmer has done a _ the white house. keir starmer has done a lot _ the white house.s done a lot of— the white house. keir starmer has done a lot of foreign - has done a lot of foreign travel and a lot of kodak moments with world leaders and he will be in another one tomorrow with the italian leader. he went to the white house to talk to the president about the middle east, particularly about ukraine because for weeks, there has been a building request from kyiv, allow us to use long—range missiles into russia, so weapons that have been provided by the west, lots of aid money has gone to ukraine, we know that, the west, the uk, the us, other countries have stumped up significant amounts of cash but the question now is will they allow those weapons to be fired into russia, notjust be used to defend ukraine on its own soil. so atski is repeatedly asking for it, putin has made clear in the last couple of days as steve rosenberg has reported on brilliantly all week that it would be a red line for him. that is the diplomatic question that is on the table at the moment. 50

so why have keir starmer�*s ratings dropped?t. the most common reason given was the means—testing of winter fuel payments, followed by financially hitting pensioners and the poor. my colleague danny savage has spent the day in leeds, where labour made some gains at the election, to see what people there think of the prime minister. leeds, the city where keir starmer went to university. he has great affection for this area, but is that reflected back by voters here? let's start at a cafe in horsforth. dino voted labour in the summer. he should sound a bit more optimistic. erm, i think everybody should be a little bit more optimistic because the tough times are now, and obviously, it's always after rain, comes sunshine. give him a break, yeah. i mean, you know, he's only had a few weeks, you know, hardly anything. customer david is also a labour supporter. he's lost his winter fuel allowance, but understands why. i'm probably in a position easier to cope with it than a lot of other people. i think it's probably necessary, you know

unlike sir keir starmer , the unlike sir keir starmer, the unions are revolting.r the first time. you have to admit this is a humiliating blow for the prime minister. >> well, just to be really awkward , i wouldn't actually go awkward, i wouldn't actually go so far as to say it is a humiliating blow. in point of fact, it's not binding. it was very close. everyone knew there were a large number of labour delegates and supporters who are deeply uneasy about the winter fuel allowance , and sure enough, fuel allowance, and sure enough, we had this vote. but i'm sort of with sharon , the union of with sharon, the union leader, on all this, when she said there should have been tuesday because it was today, as the conference was winding down, half the delegates were already on the train back to london. a whole load of the rest of them are probably fiddling with their suitcases, hoping they haven't forgotten anything. and so many times in the past have i driven back from a conference, listening to my carefully crafted payoff piece on the radio and hearing it rather dispir

if trump with sir keir starmer?e after the things that our foreign secretary, david lammy, has said about him in the past? >> i think that i mean, trump has said that cure cure is so popular. i mean, you know, trump is kissing up to. so, you know, i've seen the poll numbers when it comes to cure as of recently. so i think as long as everybody plays nice, our relationship will continue to blossom. >> i want to get to queen camilla and charles in a second, but can i just ask you how the race for the white house is going? do we have a clear winner at the moment? >> kinsey i'd say ignore the polls. every poll says something different. there's no clear theme, no clear frontrunner. and polls do not properly reflect the mood. you can just look back at 2016 and see that too close to call. >> let's talk about prince harry on his own in new york city. what's going on? >> yeah. so, harry's week in nyc was i think it was more than gladhanding and networking. it was an extreme attempt to rehabilitate his image from ginger winger

so why have keir starmer�*s ratings dropped?oll which asked people this month why they are disappointed with his government. the most common reason given was the means testing of winter fuel payments, followed by financially hitting pensioners and the poor. my colleague danny savage has spent the day in leeds, where labour made gains in the election, to see what people there think of the prime minister. leeds, the city where keir starmer went to university. he has great affection for this area, but is that reflected back by voters here? let's start in a cafe in horsforth. dino voted labour in the summer. he should sound a bit more optimistic. i think everybody should be a little bit more optimistic because the tough times are now, and obviously it's always after rain comes sunshine. give him a break, yeah. you know, he's only had a few weeks, hardly anything. customer david is also a labour supporter. he has lost his winter fuel allowance but understands why. i'm probably in a position easier to cope with it than a lot of people

keir starmer's personal approval ratings are in freefall. 44% of people are dissatisfied with him. at's his worst ever rating, and things are set to get worse for starmer. because remember when he and rachel reeves said stuff like this, we will not raise taxes on working people. >> no tax rises for income tax for national insurance , for vat. for national insurance, for vat. we will not raise income tax. we will not raise national insurance . we will not raise vat. >> labour has no plans to increase taxes on working people . increase taxes on working people. >> well, 56% of people think he was dishonest about tax rises , was dishonest about tax rises, 56%, which means when labour keep trying to say this, things are worse than we ever imagined . are worse than we ever imagined. >> in the first few weeks we discovered a £22 billion black hole in the public finances. and before anyone says, oh, this is just performative or playing politics, let's remember the obr did not know about it . did not know about it. >> well, it turns out the public simply don't buy that. and he's in big troub

keir starmer stood up. he insists.e insists that he has absolutely no choice but to cut these winter fuel payments for pensioners. but the opposition is loud and it's ready for action. you've got opposition parties naming and shaming. now these labour mps who chose to vote with the government on this one, you've got 50 labour mps being accused of cowardice, essentially for simply abstaining or not turning up to the vote at all. and then you've got the all the issues with the prisons yesterday. everyone's now seen those celebratory videos that came out of prisoners being released early, andifs prisoners being released early, and it's all not very good. if we look at politics in terms of optics, fascinated to see what labour voters think of this, because i think many people who voted for labour, and if you at home did vote for the labour party in the last election, i would love to know what you think, because voting against winter fuel payments for pensioners seems to be something that you would imagine would be out of c

rishi sunak and keir starmer. there is that rishi sunak pinned some of the blame on striking medical staff, including doctors. in comes old keir, saying, we're sorting that out. yes. so that's part of the way we're going to crack the nut. they hope. contested. but there's an interesting thing in all of this, right, that i've been thinking about a lot in the last few days, is when does a new government become responsible? so president truman, american president in the �*50s, had on his desk a little sign that said "the buck stops here". up until now, keir starmer�*s been saying, if he had a sign on his desk — and i didn't ask him if he had a sign on his desk, maybe i should have done — the sign on his desk might say, "oh, it wasn't me". um, but at what point does it start becoming their responsibility? now, of course, if somebody�*s been in charge for 14.5 years, and then somebody comes in and they haven't even been in charge yet for 100 days, of course it's legitimate to point to your predecessors. of course it is.

what keir starmer has taken. no, no. but what keir starmer and has been transparent. no.n ijust finish this. >> no, you can't finish it. he's spoken for a very long time. >> here is as long as these two. >> here is as long as these two. >> but here is the here is the problem. the explanation given was that this was for his son to revise gcses. now i have some sympathy that the son of the prime minister potentially requires more special treatment than the son of an average person at school. you can understand that. i accept that, but i do not understand any explanation for the next month. and this is the problem with the prime minister, that the truth seems to be pulled out of him like it's painful. dentistry he will now be transparent than anybody was the last month about the cost of the exams. >> why did you make family pictures? may i make? may i make a lord alli house and make a suggestion a minute? >> you can. yeah. he's gone around to lord ali's house. right. and he's gone. all right. okay. what we need to do now, we've got to get these family pictures up on the back

one was called tony blair and one was keir starmer.acting like he's, you know, just a filing cabinet on wheels with a tie on. >> there you go. well, look, i've been described as that more than once. my thanks to alex dyke, peter edwards and reem ibrahim, who return shortly. now a developing story tonight, former prime minister boris johnson has said it's time for labour to bring back the rwanda plan, or take the blame for the deaths of children at sea. we'll get reaction in just a moment. plus in the absence of priti patel, is this now the worst line—up of tory candidates in the party's history? that's next. with priti patel out and centrist options looking the most likely victors, is this the worst line—up of conservative candidates in the party's history? alex dyke. >> well, look, we've talked about no honeymoon period for laboun about no honeymoon period for labour. i think the conservatives were expecting one because they've got this very slow build on this ramp until november, until we find out. it is a bit dull. what they need is

is there a political price to be paid to keir starmer for sir keir starmer?sings continue apace, is there a political pnce? >> almost certainly. and i think he has to hope that this border security unit, as it searches for a new commander and as they add those 1000 investigators can achieve that ambition of disrupting and possibly even denying access to the people smuggling gangs, these criminal enterprises. but i think it's really important to stress they are not amateurs. they are professionals in what they do. it works. we've seen that it works. there's no shortage of funding and attempts to disrupt these gangs. already. we've just spoken about some of the kit and equipment that the french authorities have on the north coast, dealing with preventing the launching of night vision goggles. it's a militarised coastline, quite frankly. what more can be added to those ? more can be added to those? >> smashing? smashing the gangs has been an eu wide project for years and a uk project as well. all you've got from starmer, i think, is, you know, a bit more investm
