>> i think nigel has been up for a fight. may i call him nigel?'s an old friend. >> he's an old friend. >> nigel's been up for a fight for as long as i've known him, but he never seems to land a real punch. he lands a punch in the media. he lands a punch and make himself famous. and that's about it . now make himself famous. and that's about it. now we'll make himself famous. and that's ab> well why not? if you want to be seen to be a competitor, well put it this way i hunted, obviously, when invited to come on gb news studio for stories. >> the only one i could find was in the financial times, where the reform candidate for great yarmouth is so rich he's given all of his parliamentary salary. well, at least not taking freebie

let's listen to nigel attention. farage today. >> so as i stood after the count in clacton in those early hours of july the 5th, i said that yes, of course i would represent the constituency. the constituents in parliament. but i had a job, and my job was to professionalise and democratise reform. uk that was a solemn promise and pledge that i made to you, the members. well, yeah , to you, the members. well, yeah, apparently there's going to be a vote on this apparently at the conference tomorrow. >> ben habib, though he's quite a former well, quite a high profile, shall we say. reform uk member. let's listen to what he has to say about some of these proposed changes . proposed changes. >> i am not seeking the removal of nigel farage. this has got nothing to do with nigel farage. but any organisation, whether it's political, private , it's political, private, governmental, if it has a leadership that cannot be held to account, that don't have checks and balances in place to ensure that they behave properly and where

nigel, thank you very much.reak, the united nafions after the break, the united nations has confirmed that a hamas leader in lebanon who was killed in an israeli airstrike was employed by one of its agencies. more on that incredible story welcome back to gbn tonight with me, martin daubney. now the unrwa and that's the united nafions unrwa and that's the united nations relief and works agency has confirmed that fatah al—sharif, a hamas leader in lebanon who was killed today in an israeli airstrike, was an employee. he was killed along with his wife and children dunng with his wife and children during an airstrike on the al batus refugee camp. sharif was reportedly the principal of the unrwa run deir yassin secondary school in al abbas, and the agency said that sharif had been under investigations because of his political activities and had been on administrative leave since march. it's an incredible story. and joining me now to discuss this is major andrew fox, the research fellow at the henry jackson society. alw

certainly, you ask whether nigel farage can build on this, that is certainly the hope.that�*s a interesting area to watch, in terms of the themes, policies, ideas that reform uk look to build on as they look to those local elections in may and then on to the general election next year. certainly, you ask whether nigel farage can build on this, that is certainly the hope. there was no shortage of ambition from the stage behind me, throughout the stage behind me, throughout the day actually, repeated references, claims that nigel farage could be the next prime minister, that is the hope here but i think really, what they�*re focusing on when you talk to people in the party behind the scenes the more i suppose realistic ambition is that reform uk came second in 98 constituencies at the general election. and 89 of those examples they were second to labour. the focus very much for them is on those areas that came second, that means really focusing on the labour government and trying to be a critical opposition to keir starmer. we noticed the talk on the labour leader and lea

nigel's been, i would argue nigel's show is pubuc would argue nigel's show is public service. but it's. well, just look at what he's just registered in the members interests in the house of commons. is that something we know? >> so it's irrelevant, isn't it? your opposition to it is the amount of money they're making. this is just the politics of envy. i think it's excellent that politicians are able to do as they wish in their free time. and i think that nigel's show is absolutely excellent and at the same time, this whole notion that they shouldn't be earning this huge amount of money, i completely disagree. i want my politicians to have some real life experience. i want them to have second jobs. i want them to understand what it's like in the real world. i want them to have board member positions at businesses and presenter positions @gbnews i want that because i want my politicians to because i want my politicians to be real people. well, real people. >> but reem, with respect, being with the real people would be nigel four nights a week in his constituency in clacton, whe

nigel nelson and michael brown. nigel nelson and michael brown. i could start with you. i suspect you will echo matt twist, the assistant assistant commissioner of the met's. sentiments when he says there is no such thing as two tier policing. yet the evidence and this report seems to intimate. that's not the case. >> well, i mean, what matt twist told david, which actually really struck me, was that no, there isn't a two tier policing. there are infinite tiers of policing and what it depends on is what it depends on is the threat, the threat that the that the protestors pose, the harm that they might cause and the risk to the public. and so what the police do is change their ways of policing depending on what the circumstances are now. okay. i think it was great that he admitted there were mistakes made, that they should have arrested people for shouting jihad, earlier than they did. they had a bit of a problem. i think, about the legal definition of whether they could do it, but the important thing is that the police are operationally independen

we've got a full interview with nigel farage . next. nigel farage.t. >> good evening, i'm mike white. the latest headlines from the gb news centre. the prime minister will no longer accept donations for clothing after the row over gifts. chancellor rachel reeves and deputy prime minister angela rayner have also announced they will take the same approach. the move comes as labour seeks to move comes as labour seeks to move on from the widespread condemnation of the prime minister and his wife's acceptance of gifts, including clothing from prominent labour donor and peer lord alli. sir keir has accepted around £39,000 from lord alli since december 2019. the hezbollah terror group has suffered another major blow after one of its most senior commanders was killed in an israeli airstrike. ibrahim akil is reported to have died when warplanes struck the buildings he was in earlier today in the lebanese capital, beirut. security sources said he was killed alongside ten other senior members of an elite killed alongside ten other senior memlbut of an elite kil

after all, nigel democratise? after all, nigel farage became leader by a bloodless coup.ould say nigel farage just asserting that he, as the majority shareholder of the company, could be leader. and there it was. so there are democratising reforms taking place here to tell us a little bit more is christopher hope, our political editor , because, our political editor, because, chris, we were talking about this a bit last night. the new reforms will see party members be able to choose new leaders and even remove the current leader at high. >> tom. that's right. it's quite an important thing that it's a rule book which underlies this party. it's a company at the moment. nigel farage owns eight out of 15 shares, and that's not appropriate for a party which which pretends and says it wants to form a government in 2029. so it's turning into a party limited by guarantee. that means that members will get a stake in it if more than half those members, and there's currently 80,000 of them, want a vote of no confidence in the leader, they can ask the board to vote on that. so there'

i'm quoting nigel now.ches and they win seats at district council and unity level. they put literature through the doors, they target their local areas. so that sounds like that's nigel's plan. >> i'd just like to say i'm not. i'm a big fan of what nigel has achieved. i think he's made his legacy vulnerable. now, if he doesn't truly and sincerely want to reform this party to turn it into a real party. >> do you think that will work for them? scarlet building like the lib dems are targeting individual local areas. really concentrating, i think local issues i think it's a lot more difficult than you think. >> and i think i mean, i think one of the problems that i find, i mean , when, when i'm, when i'm i mean, when, when i'm, when i'm on nigel farage's programme is, is the inherent anti—muslim bias in it. and that's what worries me about reform is that actually there's a lot of, oh, you know, these people are very difficult. and actually what that means that on the ground, you've got to be very , very careful

nigel.. thank you very, very much indeed. now, coming up this evening, the home secretary has called rioters racists. yes. that again. and james cleverly responded by slamming the government over its so—called two tier handling of the recent unrest . he even went the recent unrest. he even went in on black lives matter. we'll get a reaction of a tory mp in just a welcome back to gb an tonight with me martin daubney now today james cleverly straight out of the gate today, both launching his leadership campaign and accusing the labour party of abject hypocrisy. within the last few hours, the home secretary , yvette cooper, made a secretary, yvette cooper, made a statement to the house of commons on the southport attack. let's take a listen . let's take a listen. >> in bolton, clashes between rival groups involved fireworks and bottles thrown and we saw people targeted on the streets because of the colour of their skin . this disgraceful or skin. this disgraceful or disorder and racist hatred,

nigel farage are the tories in denial? that's my big opinion in just a moment in the big story, which of the tory leadership candidates do labour most fear? i'll be asking conservative party legend edwina currie. also tonight is leadership hopeful kemi badenoch, right, that not all cultures are equal and that integration and speaking the language should be a condition of citizenship. and it might take a ten in an hour's time. it's a big one, folks. a top female tv journalist is left and i quote , uncomfortable after an i quote, uncomfortable after an interview with a raging prime minister. take a listen. >> he was absolutely furious with me. >> it was really uncomfortable . >> it was really uncomfortable. >> it was really uncomfortable. >> it's extraordinary. i'll be lifting the lid on the real keir starmer at 10:00. what i found may shock you . may shock you. and all evening reaction from my top panel. let me tell you, if this guy was labour leader, i'd be voting labour. former labour special adviser paul richards. he's a

i mean, you know, i mean, nigel was big enough to look after himself.n politics and we expect personal hits. but what interests me was the fact that paul novak, who i had very, you know, cordial professional deaungs know, cordial professional dealings with, suddenly has become essentially a political actor. and i think that's interesting. and i think that's a hint of where, where they're going. >> but it's the first tuc conference with a labour government. >> you could say that. >> you could say that. >> and it is the first tuc conference. >> you're making a point. you're making a point. >> all of that political and military, you know, there is an argument that maybe we need unions more than ever. that all of us benefit from the struggles and the fights that the trade unions across the centuries have. >> so, look, my issue with the trade unions is that they are highly centred around the public sector, which is natural . but, sector, which is natural. but, you know, in terms of private sector, you know, when i was a constituency mp, most of the businesse

precisely what nigel farage said would happen .d happen. >> well, i think, as i said, what's interesting is that this, initiative that he has spoken at didn't include the palestinian independence he's formed a separate alliance with them working in parliament, but hasn't included them in this meeting today, according to reports. so that would maybe indicate that he wants a broader, bigger coalition. however, do you think we've got to be careful not to condemn elected people that got elected by the by the people in their constituencies and to somehow suggest that those people in those constituencies are somehow wrong for voting. that's what people accuse reform voters of as well. and it's distasteful. i think it's distasteful on all sides. you can disagree with some of their views, but i think it is difficult to just dismiss them entirely. they are, of course , members of parliament. course, members of parliament. >> okay. now, very quickly , >> okay. now, very quickly, lloyd, is this a party that you'd be interested in joining if y

is nigel farage britishness. is nigel farage britishness. is nigel farage british phobic.ning me? >> no i'm not. >> no i'm not. >> you better not be. and then hugh says , did the albert hall hugh says, did the albert hall confiscate eu flags? yes. i think that was the issue, wasn't it? yeah, that was the story. that was the story. my friend. yeah, they did, which i think is fair enough , richard says this, fair enough, richard says this, david lammy has defended the prime minister. he now defend yourself, mr lammy. interesting. i'm not quite sure what that relates to , but he was on relates to, but he was on earlier. david lammy was talking earlier. david lammy was talking earlier . earlier. david lammy was talking earlier. raisi he was defending the prime minister over the suit, wasn't he? the money for the for the outfits, for the wife . yeah. lord alli yep yep wife. yeah. lord alli yep yep yep - wife. yeah. lord alli yep yep yep . let's see. lots of you yep. let's see. lots of you getting in touch. keep them coming . gbnews.com/yoursay coming. gbnews.com/yoursay right.

nigel democratic, open nature. nigel farage agreed. that's a good thing.t. but does that leave open manoeuvre for attack? tell us more. okay, so here we are. >> this is the constitution of the reform uk, and members of this party vote on it on saturday. currently, reform uk is a company, so it's got 15 shares in the company, eight of which are controlled by one nigel farage. a company can't really have have have any chance of, of forming the official opposition because there's got to be owned or run by members. nigel farage gets that, he told gb news. for me, for gb news on the eve of the, the general election in july, he would democratise this party. he's done that through through the use of, the chairman on the screen there. you see this this constitution i've highlighted there a section where it looks at how you can get a vote of no confidence in the leader. it says there that half of all members and half of all members of the parliamentary party can order a vote of no confidence, but only if there are more than 100 mp5. but only if there are more than

i am not seeking the removal of nigel farage. this has got nothing to do with nigel farage.ganisation, whether it's political , private, political, private, governmental, if it has a leadership that cannot be held to account , that don't have to account, that don't have checks and balances in place to ensure that they behave properly, and where the leadership don't , don't leadership don't, don't recognise that they can be removed if they perform badly. that leadership and that organisation will fail. so it is because i love that which richard and i and others created. reform uk. i love the ideology i think it's the last, bastion , if you like, of bastion, if you like, of protection for the united kingdom from the precipice that awaits the country. if the labour party and the tory party continue to behave, the way they are. whilst i love reform uk , if are. whilst i love reform uk, if reform uk is to save the country , reform uk is to save the country, then it must itself reform and become a proper political party. it's got to carry the movement with it and it's got to nurtu

with nigel political parties. with nigel farage holding most of the chairs, that will change, he says,. here he was arriving earlier, greeted by supporters and at the conference they are just playing a video. that is why we are just waiting to see him take to the stage. behind him take to the stage. behind him is also another seat of the house of commons. nigel farage is saying that he is going to change the structure of the party, it was initially set up as a private company, he said to fast—track the creation of the brexit party. now, reform in time for the european elections. he wanted to stop the party being hijacked by bad people, but now it is going to change its structure. we are just waiting for it nigel farage to take to the stage where a number of supporters are not —— let's listen into. you can seem as the far right will consider stage as i say, they have mps. he takes as its a fairly late, having initially said, you're not going to try to win a seat but they did take 14% of the breaks. underthe they di

nigel farage is due to take to the podium.elieve. and, of course, this is the first time that nigel farage is actually has actually won a seat in the house of commons after the summer election. his eighth attempt, i think, summer election. his eighth attempt, ithink, and summer election. his eighth attempt, i think, and there aren't now five reform mps in the house of commons. the supporters are gathered for the conference in birmingham. it is the season of conference, we have had the greens end at the snp and labour gathering also this weekend. with the conservatives to come, we will be covering all of those political events, with the leader's speeches. and we are just waiting to see nigel farage. there have been somewhat coverage of his plans for how to take the party forward and he is talking about changing the structure of the party. saying he is going to be giving up the ownership of the party. that is because the structure is slightly different, it is very different, it is very different, actually, to most political part

i know i do not. >> those words in the islamophobic. >> nigel. nigel. nigel.utely. i agree with you. an energetic politician, a charismatic politician. he's been incredibly consequential. he's affected a lot of things. brexit wouldn't have happened without him, does he have a plan to get britain growing again and to get more money back in people's pockets? well, i haven't seen it. >> well, it's really weird because because they're not doing anything to grow the economy. >> they are taking money out of our pensioners pockets. literally before the election, he would not give us any details on his policies. >> and i think if we knew his policies, no one would have voted for labour, although it's all there in the manifesto and there was a massive, massive, massive, massive multiple of them. >> keir starmer set out a statement saying i will not harm the pensioners, i will not betray pensioners. and what did he do? he betrayed them. >> one of our members, josh, says, grow the economy by putting more money into the british people's pockets. get rid of the subsidies f

back to nigel farage. _ forthe freedom forwomen. esta; to nigel farage, michael.ut how well they're going to do. he started by saying they need to be more like the liberal democrats, without the sun is like water slides and the like. in terms of targeting specific seats. he also said that there is a chance we could win the next general election. what you make about? i next general election. what you make about?— make about? i think it is very unlikely to — make about? i think it is very unlikely to win _ make about? i think it is very unlikely to win the _ make about? i think it is very unlikely to win the next i unlikely to win the next election. is right in terms of lib dems policy. they concentrate on getting local councillors elected then extend into the constituencies around that area and take it from there. and nigel farage's parties have never been very good at that. he is right in that respect. they have got five seats now, i think that might well go up. if there are by—elections in this parliament, although by—elections won't be common because it is quite

isn't nigel right?out presentation and whatever robert jenrick or kemi badenoch might think. and however they perform in parliament. is anybody actually watching parliament anymore? >> that is an interesting question . but to say that the question. but to say that the conservatives lost to the left, i think is a complete mis analysis of what happened. what happenedis analysis of what happened. what happened is the conservatives punished the conservative party, the conservatives voted for reform so that the conservative party will lose because there is a generation of young conservatives who are frustrated with a party that is only representing labour, but slower laboun representing labour, but slower labour, but just a little bit less. no, we want a conservative party with conservative values. this country is screaming out for family policies which support young people to get married, have kids, buy a house and no person my age is able to really do that with much support. we have the highest loneliness

what do you think about this, nigel?tay the course ? >> but will he stay the course? my >> but will he stay the course? my only concern, i think nigel, like chloe, says, he's a rock star. you know, when he gives conference speeches just before the election and also at their recent reform conference, it's really good telly. it's really, really good telly. it's really, really enjoyable to listen to. sia is also a fantastic speaker , sia is also a fantastic speaker, future leader stuff. possibly, possibly will. my question is, will nigel stick around for five years? will he stay the course? will he be distracted by going off to america and doing something a bit more glitzy? because it's a long time. >> he is absolutely committed to the next five years, but there's a lot of boring stuff in politics. >> you know, the kind of the middle, the weeds. when you're in the middle of it all. >> so i think they're committed to seeing what they can do in 2029, giving it their all. and then reassessing from there. b riefly. briefly. >>

go back to nigel.. you go to ten times six and you minus six. it's 53. >> you say i don't do it that way. that's all you do. i go through the actual. i go through the table . the table. >> does it really long. wrong way. he doesn't do it. did you? oh, that's a bit embarrassing. >> it's so funny. >> it's so funny. >> well , i >> it's so funny. >> well, i could have easily brushed that past you two because you two look dumber and dumber , right? dumb and dumber. dumber, right? dumb and dumber. >> you know, i think as a child. right? | >> you know, i think as a child. right? i think basic numeracy skills are really important. i've often wondered over recent years, what's the point of like for example, geography at school because you've got the internet. so if you want to find out a little bit about the history of portugal , or little bit about the history of portugal, or if you want to find out about their colonies or where they are , you could argue where they are, you could argue that maths, you've got

. >> nigel farage. dubbed the tory brand bust and broken, will be crossing live to birmingham for day two of the reform party conference. >> and today marks 80 years since operation market garden, where paratroopers in the netherlands launched a daring offensive against germany in world war two. our man on the ground, charlie peters, is there for us. >> some 700 paratroopers from eight different nations will jump eight different nations will jump here at ginkel heath in the netherlands to commemorate operation market garden, one of the most audacious missions in british military history. >> we'll be talking to doctor ross perry, the go to mole expert in the uk. he's going to be showing just why it's so important to get your skin checked after a summer holiday . checked after a summer holiday. >> and we'll meet the ex—fiancee of katie price. the reality tv star who will tell us all about her latest endeavours in the reality world, including why he thinks she needs to lay off the selfies . selfies. >> and

probably better, i suppose, than nigel, or either maybe nigel. it's not too late for either of us.her you're going to have to do that, or you will end up cutting your services. and thatis up cutting your services. and that is the prospect we're looking at now. if we can't raise our birth rate. >> and in hungary, mr orban has taken mothers who have more than four children out of the tax system altogether. >> it's a bit early to see whether or not that's actually having a having the proper results , or if it doesn't, results, or if it doesn't, i don't know what we do do, but it is it is a fact of our national life. we have spent 50 years putting more money into older people . this is a problem for people. this is a problem for the party of which you and i are members, and less and less into families who've had no one to lobby for them. >> well, thank you very much, paul >> well, thank you very much, paul. if you really want to be encouraged to have more children, bear in mind that if people like me carry on, having six children will only be people like us left. so if you want a world

nigel nelson reem >> okay. nigel nelson reem ibrahim you'll be back in the next hour .our. saint francis is waiting patiently with your headunes. headlines. >> very good morning to you . >> very good morning to you. it's 1032. exactly the top story this morning from the newsroom. health secretary wes streeting says the end of a pay dispute with junior doctors marks the first step in the government's mission to reform the broken health service. members of the british medical association have voted to accept the government's offer of a 22% pay rise. however, the conservatives are warning the government not to set a precedent by awarding striking workers with what they've described as bumper pay rises . they've described as bumper pay rises. donald trump has spoken publicly for the first time since being targeted in an apparent assassination attempt on his florida golf course . on his florida golf course. speaking in a live stream on social media, the former president described being grabbed by secret service agents after 4 or 5 gunshots were heard . after 4 or 5 gunshots

he will want to gag that press. >> nigel, let me come to you. trade union leader gave £10 million to the labour party, of course he could ring up the leader of the labour party. but it's a very different professional relationship to somebody who's given you your spectacles. that friendship is a much more direct way of influencing than a professional relationship, isn't it? yes. >> you're right. and i think that the friendship bit is the key here. i'm not sure the spectacles were such a good idea, by the way, because i don't think that mps of any sort should, should accept expensive gifts. in the case of lord alli, for the last 30 years, he's been very close to senior figures in the labour party. it goes back to tony blair's time. he was close to blair. he was close to anji hunter, who was tony blair's gatekeeper, the kind of their version of sue gray, basically. so it's understandable that because these people are his friends, thatis these people are his friends, that is where his largesse would go.then that is where his largesse would go. then
