the labour party, she heard from steve reed, the labour party environment secretary, said some of theiratic party as individuals but that's not the same as the labour party operating for the democrat party. there is also is a precedent for volunteers, in fact conservatives volunteer for the republicans and conservatives who have volunteered in the past for the democrats because of the way the us political spectrum is perhaps all shifted a bit to the right from the uk. 0f the right from the uk. of course there is nigel farage, the leader of the reform party, now a reform mp who has been a big campaignerfor donald big campaigner for donald trump, big campaignerfor donald trump, primarily before he became an mp but he was out there at the republican national convention in the summer relatively recently after he got elected as an mp. if you ask labour people they would say this has just been happening for years. but what hasn't happened before and what hasn't happened before and what hasn't been happening for years is a diplomatic spat like this and that's why it is more serious. and that's

this is an individual, a labour mp. >> she's a labour mp.re have been far less serious things that have gone out that have been seen. the labour party demanding, they're demanding the resignation of any conservative who's done anything like this. you have to concede, paul. this feels like she's got out of jail . feels like she's got out of jail. >> disagree. she's going to come under a lot of scrutiny for this. and she has got to now look at her own internal processes as what how this happenedin processes as what how this happened in the first place. it's obviously unacceptable. and you know , she didn't make the you know, she didn't make the video did she. but she obviously repeated something without checking out under her name. >> she's a member of parliament. if nigel farage has done anything even remotely in the same ballpark, you know, she'd be leading the pitchforks. >> she's not she's not standing by it. and saying, yes, these are great heroes. she said. these are terrible people. i don't stand by them. what they've said and done is h

but it certainly wasn't organised by the labour party itself.al correspondent henry zeffman told me the row could cause friction between the uk and us governments, should donald trump win the us presidential election. it is clearly not good. i don't think there is precedent, certainly not that i'm aware of, for a presidential campaign to be making a legal complaint about a political party that is in government in one of their closest allies. this is a very big deal. it is very unusual. perhaps it is yet another symptom of what an unusual politician and what an unusual campaigner donald trump is but then again the labour party and labour government may find themselves within just a couple of weeks having to deal with a very unusualformer president—elect who might be returning to the white house. i think the big question here is there is no denying this is seriously awkward and embarrassing for the labour party. the question is whether it is merely awkward and embarrassing but will pass within a couple of days, or whether actually this does show a

and that's what labour sell . labour sell. >> i completely agree with that.d i think we need the supply side reforms, and i think that we fail to do them , post brexit we fail to do them, post brexit is absolutely right. but then we also have to cut expenditure. and the thing here that is so difficult is that whenever any government cuts expenditure, there are howls of protest. so there are howls of protest. so the winter fuel allowance, we immediately oppose labour. kemi badenoch says something about maternity leave and it's a greeted with howls of outrage that actually what she said was perfectly moderate, that we don't have the intellectual heft to make the case for lower pubuc to make the case for lower public expenditure. all the political capital. >> and i think that's where we need to get smart about how we do opposition. if wes streeting would come out with a series of reforms that would deliver better outcomes within the health service, and there's lots of things that we can do for the same money that is going into the nhs and that money is increased

is this a straightforward breach of labour's manifesto pledge?ell, joining me now to discuss this is the former labour mp, sir george howarth. sir george , george howarth. sir george, welcome to the show. so time and time again we heard it there no increases in taxation . and yet increases in taxation. and yet that's precisely what's going to happen on october the 30th. >> well , i happen on october the 30th. >> well, i don't think was in any doubt during the general election action that the pledge made on sue holderness was that it wouldn't be increased. for what? for people who are in work. and so i don't think there was any commitment that it wouldn't be increased to employers. so i think, to be honest, you know, it's a bit of a fuss about nothing . and a fuss about nothing. and certainly i don't think it is a break with the manifesto pledge. also, we don't even know whether it's going to happen yet . it's going to happen yet. >> okay. but it's much fuss about nothing. you you would say , about nothing. you you would say, but we've got a clip

labour has said that they'll do a big reform.gain, you find the education secretary you said to the end of the parliament, so is that the target? people are going to have to wait till 2029 to get those 6500 extra teachers that you promised in the election? no, we've already, as i say, l that work is already the work has already begun. by when will you keep that promise? as with our other commitments in our manifesto, they- are for the duration of the parliament. i so. but that work is under way. it's urgent. it's absolutely urgent. so you might have to wait five years for the teachers, even though it's urgent work. there's another area that we asked her about special educational needs. everybody listening knows how much is a mess that system sometimes is. labour has said that they'll do a big reform. but again, you find the education secretary didn't really want to put a date on when that would happen. do you have a plan? because that's what people want to know. they want to be able to hold you to what your plans actually are. wh

i think it is of concern to the labour party.kly of concern to everybody, the, you know, the impact it has not just on children actually, but on all of us as we as we live in an increasingly online world. i don't think we've got the situation here, which you have in the states where the democratic party and except mr musk , you know, are close to a musk, you know, are close to a lot of other tech interests. you know, that kind of californian vibe. obviously, kamala harris was a californian senator. so i think we don't have i don't i don't think we need to worry that anybody is in is in hock to the tech interests, except that tiktok is clearly a geopolitical risk as well as, you know, making our children. >> i don't think we'll be putting it back on government phones because james is there. >> i mean, i don't know, but it's surely it makes it less likely that the government will regulate against tiktok. no, i think i mean, i think that he won't be involved in, in those discussions. i mean, his job is on strategic comms. it's not a

i actually feel sorry for labour supporters, labour voters , supporters, labour voters, labour activistsse it's my view that they've been let down by a charlatan leader in sir keir starmer, who had no plan and is already horribly out of his depth. shall we have a look at some of his greatest hits , allowing a perception to hits, allowing a perception to take hold that those protesting about mass migration are somehow far right after southport handing over strategically sensitive british sovereign territory to a chinese ally . territory to a chinese ally. failing to answer a question about whether the future of the falkland islands are safe in his hands, the same falkland islands that over 200 british servicemen gave their lives to protect . in gave their lives to protect. in 1982, we had the appointment of a supposedly neutral civil servant in sue gray, who laughably investigated the partygate scandal. was potentially interviewed by starmer whilst she was still a pubuc starmer whilst she was still a public servant and who, on entry into downing street, issued an access all areas pass to

they said it was and at labour. they said it was a labour government last time.a labour government . and starmer is meant government. and starmer is meant to be a human rights lawyer. where's our human rights? so they're demanding to be listened to. and i think the fact that they haven't been consulted, that that's a tragedy of this. >> and what specific things were they telling you? you were right amongst that, i think, with henry bolton also was there. what were they telling you about, aside from the fact they felt ignored? i mean, let's not forget that years ago, mauritius sold these islands off for £3 million. they didn't seem to care about the locals then. >> and. and what they said they don't want to be part of mauritius. this was the general feel. you know, we are not mauritius . and there was some mauritius. and there was some ladies there as well who was born on the island. and they said, we just want to go home. and the deal that starmer has done with what is it, 98 nearly 100 years that they , the island 100 years that they, the island is still going t

so i think it does labour. i think having boris back on the scene is a great boon for labour.es the heat off labour's own problems over the last couple of weeks. distraction, absolutely. it's a good distraction and also it reminds you of the chaos because, you know, it wasn't just the chaos of changing prime ministers, it was the chaos. whilst boris was prime minister. this, as we say, complete split personality between, you know, is he going to are we going to wake up and find it's kind of, you know, tough boris, a right wing boris or net zero woke, you know , pro mass migration boris. know, pro mass migration boris. so it just reminds us of the absolute inconsistency that we had under the tories, as well as personnel. but in terms of policy, it does highlight, however, how boring keir starmer is by comparison. well i think i mean, yes i mean i don't think, i don't think when and i hope it's not for many years to come. you do the key interview, to be honest, just because i think that bigger political characters are better for copy, they might not be better for the country . n

on foreign labour.s would not be able to harvest all of their fruit and vegetables, they would not be able to feed their own families, they would not be able to pay their local taxes, they would not be able to contribute back to society. and if we would have no harvest, our food chain would be disrupted. 0ur fruit and vegetables go all across the country. immigration has become a top issue for voters in the 2024 election. the polls show a majority of americans want numbers to be reduced. but like many developed countries, the us is confronting an ageing society and facing long—term population decline. the us election coming on november the 5th. a reminder, you can check out the websites of business news, including a story about the baltimore bridge collapse and the compensation for it. see you again in the next hour on business today. hey, i'm ben with the catch—up. tonight, ai cheating, big brother controversy and our very own kiss cam. but first, are you someone who never leaves home without your vape

, i cannot afford labour, lord alli cannot afford labour!keir starmer is not just making pensioners pay for his union paymasters, he is undermining freedom of speech in our universities, he is trashing our border security and instead of keeping us safe, he want to police smoking in beer gardens. he is freeing criminals, not standing up for the police. i know what it is like when a labour government does not have your back. the last labour government left our trips without body armour in iraq and without helicopters in afghanistan and as your prime minister, i will never abandon those on the front line. applause. because, friends... i will always stand up for those who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. because we are the conservative party, the party of security, the party of law and order. keir starmer is half right when he says that things will get worse before they get better. they will certainly get worse, i can promise you that. we will have a lot of cleaning up to do when we are back in five years' time and i hope you are rea

the labour party doesn't care.t out on tv and welcomes them into our country. paying everything for them. while the labour party are quite happy to cut the pensioners winter fuel allowance by £300, it's typical of this country . let's look after country. let's look after everybody else around the world and forget our own. anyone who voted for the labour party. you should be disgusted with yourself. >> well, it's early days, but they haven't covered themselves in glory. normally you'd expect there to be a grid . so the first there to be a grid. so the first hundred days they hit the ground running. afterwards, they'd had a couple of years to prepare because it was pretty obvious the tories were heading for defeat. whatever. and yet there was no plan . and wasn't that was no plan. and wasn't that what sue gray was supposed to do? or morgan mcsweeney, this svengali figure who's taking over from her? >> elaine has said there's no hope for the uk. now, i'm not paying hope for the uk. now, i'm not paying into the system

the labour party might most fear? he's a serious person. >> he's a serious person. >> he's a military veteran. so i'd always want to show respect to someone that served in our armed forces. he speaks with great moderation, which is often a characteristic of someone who's been in the military. they show restraint in the way they choose their words. the issue for cleverly, who held high office as foreign secretary and home secretary, would be exactly that faced by ed miliband and ed balls in 2010. whatever the merits of the individual, it's very hard to go from being a senior government minister to running the opposition and then bouncing back into government with 4 or 5 years, it could be the next tory prime minister is someone we've never heard of. >> wow. peter edwards superb stuff as ever. let's cross straight back now to the tory party conference. we've got a special guest as gb news presenter. tom harwood is joined by former tory mp jacob rees—mogg. tom. it was sirjacob rees—mogg. tom. it was sir jacob last night

it's because labour are apparently held to higher standards. is he right .7 and surprise, surprise, right.7 and surprise, surprise, education experts are warning that labour's plan to rush through vat on private school fees must be thought through and delayed, despite the education secretary's sneering and divisive claim that state schools need more teachers, more than private schools need embossed stationery. nice. she may not be able to punish the rich as quickly as she hoped. is that good news? let me know. and it's the anniversary of october the 7th. hamas massacre of course, tensions are currently very high between israel and iran, but here i6% of young brits believe that attacks carried out by hamas were justified. why might they think that? and also this evening, bbc salaries, given that you pay them, are they too high? gary lineker is renegotiating his £i.3 lineker is renegotiating his £13 million contract with the corporation. it might be forced to take a pay cut for talking about men kicking a ball . all about men kicking a ball. all

so what labour are property. labour are doing with this , people are doing with this, people are going to be waiting longer because there's going to be less less supply, but more demand. >> well, i don't think that's necessarily the case, but i do think there needs to be some protection for tenants. and i think you're absolutely right. there does need to be something that isn't a sort of a hammer to crack a nut. you know, it's fine having a goldfish or a small cat, but actually you don't want, you know, big dogs. >> well, joe and joe and andrew, we can now go to the normal presenter of this show, nigel farage mp, doing his day job. nigel farage, welcome to your show , i should say. how did you vote? >> thank you. chris. >> thank you. chris. >> i wonder how you voted . i >> i wonder how you voted. i wonder how you voted. >> oh, i think this is a huge mistake. i mean , yes, of course mistake. i mean, yes, of course it's true. there are rogue landlords and there are some tenants that get a rotten deal. there's no qu
