the leader of the opposition can roleplay margaret thatcher all he wants but, when it comes to europe, yes, yes.” >> forget the private jet, the prime minister is obviously on a private planet of his own. daily mail readers learned this week that he has begun to feel sorry for himself. he has even been heard comparing his plight to his beloved southampton football club. i think that is a bit harsh, because the saints have been on an 11-game unbeaten run while, as the song has it, the prime minister gets battered everywhere he goes. if we want the perfect example of how badly the tories have broken the asylum system, last week the home office admitted that 17,000 people in the asylum system -- [interruption] >> order! come on now. >> thank you, madam deputy speaker. if we want the perfect example of how badly the tories have broken the asylum system, last week the home office admitted that 17,000 people in the asylum system have disappeared. these are its exact words, and they are hard to believe -- “we i don't think we know where all those people are”. now, you might lose your car key

what do you most admire about margaret thatcher?u'd have to respect who had an agenda, who implemented that agenda. there was big change after the 19705. we don't need to discuss that. but there are prime ministers who make a difference, who do change the future of the country, who do come with that consistent and combined agenda that changes the path of the country. we've seen that in the past. we haven't had that for the last 13 years. we've had, you know, things year to year, prime minister to prime minister. it's quite hard to even keep track of them, let alone their agendas. there are people, however, who do do it differently and i think i can recognise in someone like thatcher, someone who did that, even if i wouldn't support the specific policies that she had. this argument that keir starmer is making, he said you can split apart the politics, whether you agree with that or not and the mission and the sense of purpose. i am sadly old enough to remember the 1997 election when tony blair won and had a meeting shortly after with

what do they think margaret thatcher would have done?> great questions you mentioned sweden were levels of violent crime comic gang crime has aptly soared in the last few years overwhelmingly driven by migrant gangs in sweden. what needs to be done? basically a crackdown of illegal migration into europe also reducing the over number of legal migration i think margaret thatcher would have fought back very, very strongly against these large waves of migration into europe. she would have secured and certainly britain's border she would've called on european leaders to secure their borders and she would've called for an end to massive migration which is proving to be very, very destructive the whole ideology of multirole cultural wisdom has been a big failure in europe is made very, very clear. and so there is a huge reaction across europe again so we have seen in recent years with mass migration but this is just the beginning. i think you're going to see conservative parties across europe adopting far tougher positions against mass migratio

now he seems to want margaret thatcher's it's thatcher's handbag. i mean, it's ridic useless.ies or they're terrified of actually telling the voters what their real policies are , which of real policies are, which of course are old fashioned socialist spite, giving more powers to the trade unions , powers to the trade unions, attacking the countryside , attacking the countryside, penalising private schools , penalising private schools, doing all of these things and of course they'll increase taxes even though they say they won't. i mean, but they're not committing to anything at the moment, but they don't want to put people off. so now he thinks, yes, i'll the thinks, oh yes, i'll get the right wing the conservatives right wing of the conservatives the thatcherites on board. of course, there's not a hope in hell of that happening. any true thatcherite wouldn't vote laboun thatcherite wouldn't vote labour, they said, and labour, whatever they said, and he risks alienating the traditional labour voter who will hate margaret thatcher. >> of course i mean, he's got a very split pa

and as you know, he ran into margaret thatcher, who was absolutely convinced that it had to be done,things, there was huge opposition to this in british public opinion, everyone believed that the process of decolonization had already taken place, that the falklands should be forgotten, that great britain should not send its own. its fleet to such a huge distance, because it is no longer an empire anyway, but margaret thatcher was based on the issue of legitimacy, that is, relatively speaking, if we negotiate with someone legitimately about independence, about the transfer of this territory, as was the case later with hong kong , if you remember, this is one story, if they simply impose their will on us by force, then we we have to defend ourselves, uh, and also there was another important point, that argentina considered the falkland islands as its malvinas , but the population of the territory wanted to live as part of the... uh, there were no people there who wanted to be part of argentina. i, by the way, we do not know if they are in sskiba. and in that situation, margaret thatche

they'll be bolstered by keir starmer's praise of margaret thatcher. party won't be too annoyed because it's not like he's actually gone out there and said he's going to said that he's going to replicate thatcherism . he's replicate thatcherism. he's praising the most uncontroversial parts his uncontroversial parts of his legacy. so yes , it is brave, but legacy. so yes, it is brave, but i think there is still an element of walking a tightrope there and perhaps a little bit of fence sitting. >> it's that that that that favourite sitting on the fence position isn't it. olivia utley thank much for that . thank you very much for that. i'm going to come to you first on this one, erin. okay now you're on the left because everyone has to be left or right. these everything has to be left or right, doesn't it? there's no there's no in the middle. so you're you're the lefty. you're rampant lefty lefty. you're the rampant lefty on the panel. what you make on the panel. what do you make of keir starmer has done today? >> well, i think it's ridiculous, frankly. se
