we'll say, remember how the labour government of 2024 learnt how hard it was to govern?hink that's right. as sort of having a bit of a virtuous reputation. i think there is something maybe wider this is for two years "mr rules", as you said, he was sometimes known. it was ever very golden. we should just bring you also what andrew gwynne himself has journalism system works, we rang him or we texted him this morning. i'm sure you did the same. can't we, henry, that this sort of behaviour by backbench mps who are in opposition is very of ministerial power probably, although i think if this had come out, if andrew gwynne were a backbench labour mp i mean, i think even if people have a high tolerance for kind of private chat with mates, which is what this appears to be, it's at the really extreme end of that. you have to wonder also, for andrew gwynne, who was the person who, if something he thought information to the mayor? on that is the mail on sunday says that at least one other labour mp is in this group. have a decision editorially not to name that mp, but i think why

but if i may say so, you two and the rest before this labour government, and you've been talking to davidgn secretary, for quite a long time. government was a government that was on its way out. so, really, the egyptian government didn't have to take it seriously. stay for five years. so that's different. the other thing that's different is, in egypt, between the two foreign offices, which is... i mean, you know, mr lammy was doing a lot, but i always believed this was a waste of time to talk to the foreign minister, the egyptian foreign minister. the real... it's about sisi. well, let me, then, if i may... i understand, i mean, sisi, like mubarak before him, was a general who threw away the military uniform to don the dark suit of a civilian president. because you became a civil society activist, i mean, sisi won re—election not so very long ago with 89% of the vote. a meaningful election or not. but his strength, his domination he's a very transactional man. the egyptian authorities show thick skin. and they were released. sisi, like any smart dictator, uses the things at his disposal a

neil, you're showing what a labour government can do, saving harland and wolff, supporting scottish jobsecuring the future of scottish shipbuilding conference. that's the difference that labour makes. and we can only make that difference because of your hard work. i saw it right here in glasgow when we kicked off the election. i've seen it right across scotland in the campaign, of course, but beyond that, everything the labour movement has achieved past and future, everything comes from the efforts of its people. so that victory in july conference, that's your victory. it belongs to you. you change the future of our country. and i say to you, thank you for your hard work. because of your work, scotland no longer sits on the westminster sidelines. >> can't wait to get in that sea. >> lovely and warm. >> lovely and warm. >> just like the feeling of having great travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations. forecast. >> hello there! it still remains cold in greece and turkey, with the risk of showers stretching westwards as well, but dry across western

do you think it's time that the labour government just embraced the opportunity of brexit? has allowed the government, hasn't it, to add vat to private school fees, for example, rather than see it as just own it, own the issue? i think that would discombobulate reform possibly. >> yeah, i believe yes, we've had more freedoms. we couldn't have done that without coming out of the eu. i think i do talk to local businesses and they do want better. they're fed up with the custom, the ties and customs filling out loads and loads of forms. we can make that easier. and that's what our government is negotiating on, is getting better trade between here and the european union. what people don't want is those those ties that tied us into those, that legislation that actually constricted the work that we did in terms of building trade opportunities. >> just while i've got you a jo ann, great to see you here on assisted dying. you're a supporter of this private member's bill, aren't you, kim leadbeater. >> yes, i it's a lot of thought. i talked to a lot of people and listened to a lot of

well, i think with labour, if the government. >> well, it's i don't think labour are to blame. l on the specific specifics of these cases, and i used to see a lot of these when i was involved in local government and working with mps on claims for asylum. these cases jar. right? whatever your politics, if it feels like somebody's playing the system, that's. >> just common sense in politics. >> sense, common sense. and it sticks in the, in the gut. and you know, on those individual cases, i think, you know, they have to be looked at. what was said in parliament recently when in the last seven days when it was raised, the prime minister said that any loopholes that are cynically exploited by people to stay in this country will be tackled. and the facts are i don't want to attribute blame. i just want to say, as they are, the asylum and immigration system was in a total mess, right in the first six months of this government. 16,400 people have been kicked out of the country. they've failed asylum seekers, illegal immigrants or foreign criminals. and that is what the people who voted

you're not going to like this labour government because they hate the country, whereas the old labouridual patriotism. so it's not surprising to me that labour people are now defecting to reform. reform have always said we'll get votes from laboun said we'll get votes from labour, but now they're getting actual candidates from them. >> yeah, and when candidates score, it's usually because they can see that their base would rather vote for the party that they're moving to than the party they're moving to than the party they're leaving. >> yes, that's exactly right. which is why the parliamentary system is so bad, because these people who are deciding what political party based on whether they're going to get elected next year, which just shows, i don't think i don't think this is a major thing. there's something wrong with the reform if you are a if you are a labour person, which is the party of team world, and you want to go to the nation state party. >> i think, i think labour originally would have been the party for a lot of reform voters, just as nick points out. you know, they wer

and also, i think in this, the labour government is still hung up on the idea of when they're going to meet before donald trump stood up and sort of upended the assumption of the last many decades, that america would always be around as a sort of, you know, europe's bodyguard ready to step in and support. let's have a listen to what bridget phillipson said on the tv. 2.5% is ambitious, and the last time that was achieved, - pathway towards it. but you will forgive me. to give you that information, but others will confirm - here and also the additional £3 billion a year we - are putting towards defence spending. i it was only a few months ago we had a uk general election as a number one issue. the conservatives were going to be thrown out after 14 years they were. rising up very quickly. and it is... yes, things have changed dramatically in the last ten which is still available for your ears wherever you get your audio products. but the government can't make a case that somehow they've been blindsided and they cannot have been taken by surprise by the fact that defence spending suddenly

i mean, in my view, the labour government made a terrible mistake by drawing these red lines around europeven within those red lines, there is an awful lot that needs to be done. and in relation to the us, of course, we have to stand up to countries which try to bully us and other people with with trade policy, as the canadians and mexicans are sensibly doing. >> and red lines being things like no return to free movement of people, no going back into the single market. are you suggesting that we should they should be up for grabs for vince? >> well, in the long term, yes, i would favour going back into a much more sensible relationship with our biggest trade partner. but i recognise the reality that in the short term these things are not possible. certainly a customs union arrangement would be very helpful. and this is why the proposal that's coming out of brussels to develop a customs arrangement, which includes non—members like britain and norway and countries around the mediterranean, would help to alleviate some of the difficulties which businesses are finding. and that's one of the id
