and i wonder whether you think keir starmer has that. y, you know, a stable personality. and as i say... does he have the foreign policy x factor? i mean he's got the x factor in that he's got a large majority and he's going to be around for five years. and who knows how long the rest of these people are going to be around. and when it comes to the middle east, it looks like a moment when potentially there could be a push for peace. can keir starmer have any kind of influence over, for example, pushing for a ceasefire? i mean, the world is pretty united on this. there has to be a ceasefire in gaza. there has to be a stop to the fighting in southern lebanon. and your party's been saying that for a long time now. and so has the rest of the world. and we need to try to ensure that the israelis are persuaded that the death of the hamas leader is enough. stop now. now we need to have the ceasefire, and now we need to sit down, we need to find out what the long term solution is, because carrying on like this is not making the israeli people any

that was sir keir starmer.utting back to the studio here. i'm still joined by ben habib. let's just go over some of the details in case you missed that. he started off by saying he spoke with the fellow members of the g7, talking about israel's right to defend itself . and it's vitally defend itself. and it's vitally important that we work, important that we work, important that we work, important that we work with our partners when specifically pressed on what today's conversation was about, i don't really think ben habib got any detail whatsoever out of that, he said he spoke in, in in brussels word salads in many senses. he talks about promoting growth on climate change, illegal immigration, our relationship with the eu on a more stable foundation. he did say there had been no return to the single market or the customs union or freedom of movement, and he talks about regular eu, uk summit. so there's going to be a lot more cosiness with mrs. von der and etcetera. what were your takeaways from it. >> so the t

a bit of a dig, it sounded like keir starmer —— it sounded like at keir starmer, because he said he understooding made right now. now we have robert jenrick coming on, his wife was applauding him. here he is. it’s applauding him. here he is. it's ureat to applauding him. here he is. it's great to be _ applauding him. here he is. it's great to be here, it's great to be home. i'm a midlands man, i grew up down the road in wolverhampton. it's good to be back. before i tell you about where i want to take this party, where i want to take our country, let me tell you about the place that made me. 50 years ago, in 1974, my dad, bill, and my mum, jenny, came here to birmingham. dad got a job at the last great iron foundry of the black country in causley. it was a vast victorian metal works that had made the pots and pans of the empire. it was called canon industries because it had made the canon for wellington's army. my dad love that. mum and dad came to the west midlands to put down roots and get on in life but their dreams were put on hold because britain was broken. industries were crippled. counc

i between the usa between him and keir starmer?— keir starmer?r starmer? i think it's possible, but it - keir starmer? i think it's possible, but it depends| keir starmer? i think it's l possible, but it depends in keir starmer? i think it's - possible, but it depends in a sense where people go from here. i think what we've seen at the moment is reallyjust a political play, and a sense, by the republicans. the big issue is whether it becomes any more substance behind it in terms of how both the uk government and the labour government in the uk handle it and also trump and has a publican party, and of course, what happens and the domestic side of this is well the labour party hasn't had an easy first few months in government, and while lots of voters here, they won't really pay so much attention to the story think it is that relevant to them. i think it's just yet another story and coming up with the budget.— another story and coming up with the budget. let's move on from that _ with the budget. let's move on from that talking _ with the budget. l

keir starmer is a lawyer . makes this worse. keir starmer is a lawyer.les are down to the last eye and the last t crossed and he's broken them. well, no excuse. >> excuse. >> well he obviously he denies breaking the rules. >> well he does he does deny breaking the rules of course. but that doesn't mean that he hasn't broken them. and there's lots of back. listen, why would he be paying the money? i think i think there's a there's a moral high ground thing there. so i put six grand. well, where's the other £101,000 left to go? that's a whole year. so almost a whole year's salary, or at least half of him and victoria sponge salary together. yeah. so? so, look, i think there's a long way to go for him to prove himself that actually, you know, this this is my moral horse that i want to get off of. but i will say this. keir starmer has got to be very careful. i'm sure this will not be the end of the stories. and i suspect let's see what happens next year. all right. >> well, well look just just on that jj, has he got to be careful? mainly because of the purit

but i mean, keir starmer, the channel showed on the show before yours, an interview that keir starmer in brussels, and he talked a little about israel and our support for them. and then from the gathered international media, including outlets that are really very friendly to this new labour regime, the questions he got were all about his personal grift and the money that he'd accepted from people and the venality of taking tickets and clothing and spectacles and so forth. this was just being paraded. this is a new government, right? and one of the first summits he does internationally. the questions he gets from the international media class, rightly, is about him taking more than 100 k's worth of stuff from people. i mean, why why does somebody give him give your wife dresses? like, why do they do that? >> see that is the million dollar question isn't it. and i'm sure well, actually, i was just about to say, i'm sure they must kick themselves for taking those donations, but i'm assuming that maybe they don't, because you do hear them day after day trying to justify that. actually, it

and so this article by keir starmer. yeah.e about a lot more in the pre—election phase was the impact on our communities plural? here in the united kingdom and you were you were reminding me that his own majority in his own constituency was slashed because of ceasefire calls from the communities in his own constituency. his article today, you can summarise it better than me, is saying we need a ceasefire because on our own streets, we're going to see more polarisation from escalation in the middle east. well, fundamentally, keir starmer wants to see a ceasefire because he believes as peter kyle was telling laura, that the only way you can resolve this is through diplomacy and the end settlement needs to be a two state solution with a secure state of israel and a viable state of palestine. and he thinks that's literally, globally, ihe only way you can do it is through diplomacy. that's what he thinks at a global level. but obviously, as you say, paddy, that ties in at a domestic level. domestically, instability in the middle ea

now it turns out that keir starmer's close friend philippe sands casey, is the chief legal advisor forer to. now, do you think that's a coincidence? but it goes even deeper. coincidence? but it goes even deeper . mr coincidence? but it goes even deeper. mr sands is one of the many founders of matrix chambers, which also happens to be where starmer's other close friend , richard hermer, was friend, richard hermer, was plucked from to serve as attorney general. now he appears to be very pro—palestine. he reportedly pushed the icj to consider whether israel was an apartheid state and he reportedly represented the iras. gerry adams. so starmer has made him our government's top legal advisor. mauritius is allied strongly to china. in fact, chinese direct investment in mauritius was £35 million in 2020, taking its total cumulative investment to a whopping £667 million. more than 18% of mauritius total imports came from china that year. so starmer and david lammy have just handed china a huge boost, haven't they? they did not debate this in parliament before signing off on it, which implies t

keir starmer received thousands — know? keir starmer received thousands of _ know? keir starmer received thousands of pounds worth l know? keir starmer received | thousands of pounds worth of tickets element to see taylor swift at her concerts in june and swift at her concerts injune and in august. swift at her concerts in june and in august. those in august as she say came after her concerts in vienna had to be cancelled because of a terror plot so when she came to london, taylor swift was given a motorbike convoy to protect her on the way to the stadium. it's understood the police had reservations about whether that would breach the kind of normal protocols of a motorbike convoy like that would normally be for royals or diplomats and it's understood that downing street who were involved in one way or another and conversation certainly the government were involved in conversations about whether she should be afforded that extra protection. it's not necessarily hugely unusual, you would expect the home secretary for example to be having conversations with police abo

what about keir starmer saying that he - reparation. ng that he wants discussions to be about facing forward rather than having, what he called an endless discussion about reparations on the pass? he discussion about reparations on the ass? ., , ., ., discussion about reparations on the ass? ., ., ., , the pass? he has got a faulty historiography _ the pass? he has got a faulty historiography or _ the pass? he has got a faulty historiography or a _ the pass? he has got a faulty historiography or a limited i the pass? he has got a faulty. historiography or a limited one lets say. what i mean by that is in many cultures, especially the people he is going to speak to, the past, the present and future are intimately interrelated. it's impossible to african caribbean culture is to african caribbean culture is to talk about the present and future without reflecting on the past. it's a different way of imagining how the world works. i would say he needs to become a bit more culturally sensitive and understand that people understand the past in

is keir starmer on the ropes ? is keir starmer on the ropes? is keir starmer on the ropes?'s the idea was that announcements would be made as part of a plan. they wouldn't clash with each other and every minister, whether they're a senior cabinet minister or not, had to bid to get onto the grid. so to get their announcement up and i don't get the sense there's been that same level of coordination in government over the last three months. i don't know how you guys feel, but it feels a little bit like it's been a bit haphazard. so i can't help but feel that the getting a grip on it this week with the announcements over the last 48 hours is going to help. i mean, there have been some very big announcements you may disagree with them, but things like gb energy and things like the carbon capture and nationalising the railways, but it's been drowned out. frustratingly for labouh drowned out. frustratingly for labour, by all this froth about glasses and tickets for taylor swift. so a grid will help putting somebody in charge of comms will help, and having a clear person in charge

that was keir starmer talking a little earlier in the day. catt, has more on the prime minister's speech. the first part of keir starmer�*s speech this morning was setting out that working people were at the forefront of his government's mind in making policy, that they were the golden thread that runs through the government's agenda, so it is a phrase they continue to keep using, despite the criticism they have had about not being able to well define who this group is they mean. a lot of that talk has been in the run—up to this, in relation to taxes because we know that keir starmer and rachel reeves have both signalled very strongly that this is going to be a tax—raising budget. but that manifesto promise that they would not increase national insurance, income tax or vat for working people. this is why we have had that discussion in the run—up to this. what we got from keir starmer this morning was really laying the groundwork for that budget on wednesday that is going to be difficult, there was that acknowledgement that there are going to

also, keir starmer has should? also, keir starmer has pledged £22 billion.the right one? and the children of lockdowns are starting in schools.

why yes . yes. >> well, the prime minister, sir keir starmer , pushed back and keir starmer, pushed backthat. well, he said this one of the shortest answers on record. >> well, that isn't correct. it's not correct . it's not correct. >> rishi sunak. >> rishi sunak. >> well we'll just bring you a quick breaking line . we're quick breaking line. we're heanng quick breaking line. we're hearing from northumbria police this afternoon a sadly a seven year old boy we now know has died following a large explosion in newcastle. that's according to the police force there. drone footage you can see here just shows that wreckage with the roof collapsed and debris strewn across the street. that blast took place just before 1:00 this morning, destroying a home, leaving three adults in hospital. at this stage, we don't know their condition. but as i say, we can now confirm that a seven year old boy has sadly died. residents there are being told to keep their doors and windows shut while road closures remain in place. the fire brigade are also still at the scene , checking the wreckage the scene, checki

it must have been a difficult situation for aisha. >> diane abbott has said that keir starmer treated non—human and rosie duffield, labour mp who has now renounced the labour whip and left the party in the commons, said she was ignored by starmer whilst she received rape and death threats for pointing out there are two biological sexes. does keir starmer have a problem with women? >> absolutely not. no, no way. i think these obviously, individuals like diana have so much respect for diane, and obviously rosie as well. i think these are the circumstances in both those situations. absolutely did not agree with diane abbott being ignored. she was suspended, she complained. she tried to get hold of the keir starmer and the office. did it happen for a long time? absolutely wrong. i will actually call out if there's something that's wrong, i will call out. i will not stay quiet and agree and nod my head. absolutely not. again, rosie just resigned over the weekend and she again penned a letter saying she wasn't happy. but my position is this we have waited 14 years, as soon as we've returned

keir starmer hates britain.f justice ruled that it was illegal and cleverly opened the negotiations. so if rishi sunak was still prime minister, we can but dream. >> do you think that he would have agreed to this though? >> i can't speak to what a conservative prime minister sign up for this. he did, didn't he, when he was on it? >> mark, i think david cameron did the brakes on it, didn't he? >> they're all blaming each other. what's the story? well, they all blame each other. of course. you know tom tugendhat is blaming cleverly. never do that. cleverly is blaming liz truss . and of course liz truss truss. and of course liz truss is blaming boris johnson. but it didn't go through. but the thing is, is, you know, nine days ago, nine days before this announcement was made, ministers were still saying that there are no decision had been made . and i no decision had been made. and i just can't understand how this which is, you know, it's a huge national, national security threat to, to hand over to mauritius, which

keir starmer has been discussed. keir starmer has so far denied that .d that. that's something which he would seriously consider of course, in that situation you could end up in a place where the where the uk is actually accepting far more migrants as a quota of eu migrants than it would be able to send back . so it doesn't seem to send back. so it doesn't seem to send back. so it doesn't seem to be a particularly favourable deal for brits. and that's the problem that britain keeps coming up against when it tries to reset these relationships with the eu . these warm words with the eu. these warm words are all very well, but when it comes to it, the eu is a very, very tough negotiating partner. as david cameron learned to his cost back in 2013. and unless we take a quota of migrants or else open our borders to a youth mobility scheme, or else open our waters to eu fishermen, all of which were hugely controversial issues over the brexit referendum and all of which, as you say, emily, are reasons why people voted brexit in the first place. then it doesn't r

keir starmer was a human rights lawyer. where are our human rights? i'll be joined by dame andrea jenkyns, who attended that protest earlier on today , and an astonishing report today, and an astonishing report seen exclusively by gb news shows that less than 3% of all illegal immigrants who came to britain via small boats have been deported since 2018. furthermore , 80% of these furthermore, 80% of these illegal immigrants are men aged under 40. will we ever take back control of our borders ? and control of our borders? and today, gb news can also exclusively reveal a foreign prisoners league of shame that i compiled with my son over the weekend that shows albanian nationals are the worst offenders. astonishingly, they are 14.5 times more likely to be jailed than brits. i'll name and shame the worst offenders. that's all coming between now and six on an action packed show. what's the show? always a pleasure. two amazing exclusives today from gb news. the first one 3%. just 3% of those who come to this country illegally since 2018 have been sent back.

she's obviously got issues with keir starmer.ad all hoped for with the labour government was , with the labour government was, notwithstanding our complete criticism of their ideology, that they might at least be competent in in a managerial sense, but they haven't even been that, you know, they're either on the verge of doing u—turns or are doing u—turns, or are having opprobrium levelled at them by the media from all sides of the political spectrum. the guardian all the way through to the telegraph. and so i think it is a government in disarray. he's got this massive majority that will shield him for a bit, but the local elections next year are worth watching. oh, they are indeed that result in blackpool. >> you must have been happy about that one. ben habib, thank you very much for that. we'll come back to you shortly. and that was stephen pound there. the former labour mp as well before him. we're joined now by the former labour spokesman, james matthewson james. thank you very much for your company. what do you make of this,

they know that keir starmer acted really wrongly. that's why his ratings have gone down.ot because he's stolen, stolen stuff . sorry about that. not stuff. sorry about that. not because he's stolen. i don't know if he's stolen, but he's taken money from rich guys. it's not that. it's that is that he is that the people who live in this country feel that he's at war with this country, and he's at war with the 13 year old girl, which makes him a loser, a loser, because even i wouldn't fight a 13 year old girl. >> maybe that's good to know that you wouldn't fight a 13 year old girl. >> is that wrong? that was a joke. that was . joke. that was. >> have you met 13 year old girls? they're pretty annoying. >> they? annoying is not the word. >> i reckon one of them could actually beat you up, and i'd just like it would be perfect match newest fresh. >> it's an attitude. 13 year old i love it. >> disturbing image . i'd just >> disturbing image. i'd just like to apologise for lewis's language. if anybody was offended there. he grew up in the bronx, brooklyn, brooklyn , the bronx, br

keir starmer the prime minister will give a speech a little after 10 a.m. u.k. time, around 10:05 is what we're hearing, then we will be sitting down for an exclusive conversation with the british prime minister. tuesday, this is something valerie touched on. we have additional earnings on u.s. banks. the likes of bank of america, citi and goldman all reporting tuesday after the solid numbers from j.p. morgan. and on thursday, it is the meeting from the ecb with that expectation of a cut, but it is what we hear from christine lagarde in terms of the outlook that will be important as how to think about the next steps beyond this meeting. later today, the u.k. prime minister keir starmer will be speaking exclusively with our head of economics and government stephanie flanders at the u.k. international investment summit. here is the timing. 2:30 p.m. london time for that exclusive conversation with the u.k. p.m. to get a round up in today's edition of daybreak, terminal subscribers go to dayb the terminal. a lot of that focus is on the detail we have ha china,

proud of our record and confident in our future, we will win the country because nige farage and keir starmer are two sides of the same coin —— nigel. they both think that life was better in the past. nigel farage thinks life was better before we joined the eu, keir starmerthinks life was better before we joined the eu, keir starmer thinks life is better before we left, and they are both wrong, our best days are ahead of us. just as my parents were in the business of the future, i am in the business of the future, i am in the business of the future, i am in the business of the future. we need to reject this 1970s attitude that decline is somehow inevitable but perhaps we should just —— that perhaps we should just —— that perhaps we should just —— that perhaps we should just fall off the purchase slowly —— off the perch. we need to direct our view to the road ahead, not the rear—view mirror. so, conference, how are we going to face the great challenges of our time? the way we always have done when we succeed, by being forced off again __ by succeed, by being forced off again —— by being for st

i believe keir starmer has done something similar.t's declared stuff around how much they've paid tax on, on gifts that they've been given, and i still believe genuinely, that under the current law, they've got that right now. do i believe that that's sensible? not necessarily. but i do believe that they're right as the current law stands. >> but does it depend on intention so that if i give you £32,000 worth of suits and i therefore have an intention that i will get something in return, say a pass to downing street, have i then bought something? does that then become taxable ? does that then become taxable? >> i don't think that necessarily makes it become taxable, but i do think that it would be something that hmrc would be something that hmrc would want to have. perhaps a little bit more of a look at, look at. of course, you would have to prove that there was that causal link again between those two things, which i think would be a very difficult thing to do potentially. you know, i have got clients, for example, who are social med

moving on now, because keir starmer is on a mission to reset his government after a turbulent first 100bie scandal in a weekend shake—up at number 10, starmer replaces chief of staff sue gray after weeks of hostile briefings, including leaking that she was being paid more than the prime minister and grey has been replaced by morgan mcsweeney , architect of the mcsweeney, architect of the labour party's election campaign. the starmer restructures his top team amid scrutiny over gifts received by senior ministers. questions remain will these changes be enough to demonstrate a clear vision for labour's future, or is it a sign of simply more turmoil at the top of the government? well, i'm still joined in the studio by my panel joined in the studio by my panel. nigel nelson, gb news, senior political commentator, and trevor kavanagh, former political editor of the sun. trevor, i'm going to start with you. let's face it, we're almost a hundred years in. the labour party don't seem to be able to get a decent headline out of anybody. can they do anything right? it started badly, and frankly, it

that was a commitment that keir starmer reaffirmed in ourfirst commitment that keir starmer reaffirmedt which the chancellor has reinforced and reaffirmed this week. we are a government that will always do what is required to defend this country. when do you think you might hit that target _ when do you think you might hit that target them, and what did the chancellor say when you told her there _ chancellor say when you told her there was — chancellor say when you told her there was a deal that the germans were _ there was a deal that the germans were going to make our gun barrels for us? _ were going to make our gun barrels for us? ., ., were going to make our gun barrels for us? . ., ., ., for us? so, i am not going to say an hinu for us? so, i am not going to say anything that _ for us? so, i am not going to say anything that might _ for us? so, i am not going to say anything that might affect - for us? so, i am not going to say anything that might affect the . anything that might affect the announcement that the chancellor will make at the budget in ten days' time. but she welcome

mark, just on this keir starmer stuff. know , expanding the use of know, expanding the use of migrant hotels. i mean , actually migrant hotels. i mean, actually thatis migrant hotels. i mean, actually that is we were used to him doing things that weren't in the manifesto. this is actually just the opposite of something that was in the manifesto. >> no. exactly right. i mean, they haven't got to grips with this at all, have they? look, let me try and be as sympathetic as i can be, even though i'm not as i can be, even though i'm not a political ally of the prime minister. you've got two big issues here that you're facing . issues here that you're facing. one is the stock, if you like, and the other is the flow. those are slightly inhumane ways of describing all of these human beings. but you've got this backlog problem of everybody who was already here and you've got it being added to. i don't expect a government to be able to solve that overnight by magically clicking their fingers, but their only strategy to date has been

and of course all, all keir starmer will say is, well, it's within the rules.the rules. and i can tell you what the people that i speak to out there are really upset at the way this labour government has started off. i think it will hopefully get better because if it gets worse and what is their vision for the future? i mean, you talk, you know , private schools talk, you know, private schools and not only is it about just all children going to private school, there's many there with special needs and special things that need help in the private sector. they are being affected by it as well, just purely because it's a political thing that they will not allow to happenin that they will not allow to happen in ’ all’ that they will not allow to happen in ’ all the stuff that and i think all the stuff that rachel reeves is going to bring in with taxes is actually going to slow up the economy, not actually build it up. and i quite agree with you that there have been the pensioners really did not expect £300 to be taken away from them, and at the same time, you know,

the other main headlines this hour — prime minister keir starmer�*s top adviser sue gray resigns from position as downing street chief of staff. and new research on a revolutionary treatment aims to discover why immunotherapy fails to work for most cancer patients. in the mood here is very sombre, the grief still raw as they marked the one—year absence hamas fighters went on the rampage across this border area —— the one—year anniversary since. on the eve of this important day of mourning for israel, israel has been stepping up its offensives against hamas in gaza and hezbollah in lebanon. israel is on a high state of alert as a female israeli border police officer was killed on sunday and ten people wounded in an attack by a gunman in the southern town of beersheba. all the latest hear from our special coverage today and tomorrow. hugo bachega has this report. overnight attacks followed by more attacks in the morning. this video appears to capture secondary explosions, an indication of weapons being hit. we went to see the destruction caused by one of the overnight attacks. this plac

sir keir starmer is evacuation.ir starmer is urging all remaining british nationals to in lebanon to leave immediately . boris johnson is immediately. boris johnson is geanng immediately. boris johnson is gearing up to release his new memoir, unleashed, in a sit down interview with camilla tominey, the former prime minister warned it would be a disaster if sir keir starmer tries to reverse brexit. johnson also reaffirmed his belief in brexit, claiming it has given the uk the freedom to act more decisively and do things better. let's take a listen to what he had to say . listen to what he had to say. >> what do you think? >> what do you think? >> if we'd been norma and reeves are trying to reverse. >> so if we'd been a rules, this is the key point. if we that's what of course they are. now, if we'd been a rules taker. yes. in at the end of 2020, 2021, we would not have been able to authorise astrazeneca and pfizer. no no no. but you keep you keep interrupting this because it's very, very important . and that was how

now sir keir starmer , leader.r starmer, he's a man who likes to play by the rules he keeps telling us. and so the rules in his mind means that he will give back the donations he received as pm. so six grand. here you go. you can have six grand back. this will all go away, won't it? no, it won't. we're still talking about it. and it gets worse because today other people are continuing to be pulled into this scandal. so, angela rafe. sorry, angela rayner, she had that holiday in ibiza, remember? everyone said, oh, no, what are you getting your knickers in a twist about? she's only having a holiday. she's working class. she deserves a break. but then it turns out it was paid for £836. now you save up all year. just like i do, to go on holiday. if you're a labor party deputy leader, you just get a freebie and you just get this handed to you on a plate. today, a further revelation, baroness uddin. she was involved in the expenses scandal and couldn't afford to pay back her debt. and so who stepped in to help her out? y

street, says sir keir starmer.eceived since the general election. >> so joining us live from london is journalist rebecca reid. good morning rebecca. always good to see you. right. so keir starmer giving back this £6,000. is that a semi admission of guilt. because if he'd done nothing wrong he wouldn't have had to give anything back. and he could surely have just owned that decision. >> i don't think it's an admission of guilt, but i do think it's a mistake in terms of comms. i think the second that you do anything like this, like giving things back, you kind of imply that something untoward has happened and i think broadly speaking, it largely hasn't. but it's a bit. i think his other mistake was when he said, okay, well, actually we're not going to take for money clothes. and then suddenly it's like, well, okay, clothes are not okay, but hospitality is where's the line? so i think honestly, he needs to just try and hold steady and not do anything or say anything and wait for it to pass, and he but he seems to be

, not briefings was keir starmer, not sue gray. embarrassed by these very hostile briefings from the heart of the labour party. >> and so in that sense, you think sue gray has been chucked under the bus and they hope it all goes away? >> well they may do, but it's not going to simply because the, the ingredients for all this remain in place. whoever talked to the media, the bbc about the covid broadcast in which keir starmer was seen in lord alli flat with his family portraits behind him , new details of that behind him, new details of that which were known to very few and also the person who was most embarrassed by that disclosure was keir starmer. has that sort of antagonism? was his sabotage effectively from the very heart of this government? has that gone away? we what remains to be seen, nigel, quick moments with you . you. >> will this go away? i mean, do people have short memories? renee five minutes into the labour party's tenureship or will things like the winter fuel allowance be long, long remembered? >> no, i think the
