thank you for joining nigel nelson. nigel welcome.nk you forjoining me, as thank you for joining me, as usual, on a on a thursday. normally i see you in person, but today we're we're remote. this is labour. trying to get back into the eu by stealth. isn't it? >> no, not even nearly. first of all, the youth mobility scheme doesn't look as if it's going to happen , that the usual sort of happen, that the usual sort of weasely ambiguous whitehall words. there are no plans. in fact, the government had gone further than that and said they're not even considering it, which is a bit more concrete. theidea which is a bit more concrete. the idea at the moment is to get obviously closer ties with europe, but what it comes down to young people, it's things like making school trips easier, student exchanges, cultural visits, that kind of thing. however, i think that that they should have a youth mobility scheme. we've got it through. we've got it with several other countries . it works very well. countries. it works very well. there's no reason n

is it younger people or are they the older dinosaurs like nigel nelson next to me? i mean, is it a generational issue? >> yes. i think there is a generational issue. i think younger people, they generally want to make a really good impression. so sometimes you find the younger workforce are the ones that actually want to really put their mark out there, and they really want to work longer hours, and that's going to, you know, it's going to be difficult for younger people to, you know , switch off, you know, you know, switch off, you know, younger people don't generally what they do. but but it's less often at, say, 18 year olds have family commitments , which is the family commitments, which is the work life balance, which labour is striving to achieve by reason of this new deal for working people to get that work life balance. >> yes, it has the approach towards work changed, do you think since the covid pandemic more people work from home? nigel won't wear a tie. mutaz is dressed for a nightclub. it's all different nowadays. >> yeah, absolutely . more people >> ye

now, lord goodman and nigel nelson remain with me in the studio. sting seeing this couple take on a quasi royal role. >> yeah , that's that's what >> yeah, that's that's what astonishing. and this should be astonishing. and this should be a private visit. and it looks like the beginning of a royal toun like the beginning of a royal tour. now, quite clearly, that is inappropriate that they are not working royals in any shape or form. they've decided that for themselves. so the kind of images we're seeing at the moment actually look really uncomfortable, that it's not something we should see. and i'm surprised they're going along with that. >> and, lord goodman, this comes at the same week we learn that prince harry will not be attending a pretty important funeral here in the uk of a family member. >> i'm certainly surprised to hear that he has apparently said, i'm stressing, apparently because i've not heard it myself that he thinks it's safer in colombia than the uk. i mean, he ought to be aware by now that the riots have died down and that he'd be

i mean, don't you think nigel nelson, the government's got to recognise there is violence on both sides? well, i mean , the both sides? well, i mean, the attacks on a mosque were clearly by the far right. yeah we've seen also videos elsewhere in birmingham this week, haven't we? we have. >> and there was violence there. but i mean nothing like the degree of it. what we're talking about here is the worst riots since 2011, so it is perfectly right for keir starmer to crack down on that. he must deal with the with the rioters themselves , the with the rioters themselves, stop it in its tracks, and so you can't make comparisons with, say, the pro—palestinian marches. they haven't torn say, the pro—palestinian marches. they haven't tom the country apart. black lives matter didn't cause the same kind of mayhem that these people are. they're the ones we must focus on. hopefully things are dying down, but we won't know

well, nigel nelson joins us now to explain what's going on here. his looks like good pr does it not for the labour party, a party that which let's not forget, doesn't exactly have a gleaming track record when it comes to tackling the issue of migration, does it? >> well, and the home office is very keen to get this one out. so they wanted as much publicity as possible. 75 doesn't sound like an awful lot of people, but bearin like an awful lot of people, but bear in mind this was the first week of a crackdown, so that was the haul after the first week, as you've just said, that people will be will businesses will face £45,000 fines for a first offence. it goes up to £60,000 if they do it too often. so it's quite a hefty penalty for the business doing it. the whole intention is this is the starting point for dealing with the gangs, that most of these people are brought over by the gangs. they don't even get minimum wage payments that they have to pay back the gangmasters for bringing them here. and they live in pretty awful conditions. it's really mod
