richard tice — the leader of the reform party — is also in campaign mode.for his candidates to stand down at the election to avoid splitting the right—wing vote. no, the truth is, the tories are terrified. yes, in the new year, the special pleading has already started. "oh, please don't stand here, please don't stand there. i'm one of the nice guys, i believe in all everything that you believe in." you've all broken britain. you're all responsible. so, there's no special deals. we stand on every single seat in england, scotland and wales. reform party leader richard tice. live now to our political correspondent peter saull. this vote splitting of the right—wing is a real problem for the conservatives, isn't it? yes. conservatives, isn't it? yes, potentially. _ conservatives, isn't it? yes, potentially, or— conservatives, isn't it? yes, potentially, or the _ conservatives, isn't it? yes, potentially, or the richard i conservatives, isn't it? yes, i potentially, or the richard tice were saying then, still, i wrote for reform is not necessarily a vote for the

that's increasingly being discussed in westminster, because they will give a sense of how the reform party is the party that nigel farage is sort of a part of, though there's a question of how prominently he wants to be a part of it in this election year. but one of the things that's been new in the last few weeks and months for conservative mps watching the polls closely is that the reform party seems to be inching upwards and upwards. now, that has not been replicated in any local elections by elections, anything like that. but if in those february by elections, especially in wellingborough, peter bone's former seat, the other byelection is in kingswood on the outskirts of bristol, especially in wellingborough, if reform party does well or as one plotter — if that's the right word for it — said to me this week, if the reform party does better than the conservatives and beats the conservatives into third place — now that seems fanciful to many — but that's one thing being discussed then that would throw a lot of the focus back on to rishi sunak's. yeah, and one of the worst moments for th

will be weaponised by the reform party and could eat into their support. reform tice the leader of reform to these two senior mps join these two senior tory mps join us. well we're going to debate that in just a second. >> but before i let you go , any >> but before i let you go, any new viewers just very quickly bnng new viewers just very quickly bring them up to speed on the amendment, that amendment, voting that has happened please. happened this evening. please. christopher that's right. >> so mps are right now are voting on the robert one of robert amendments, robert jenrick amendments, the former immigration minister against of tory mps against dozens of tory mps supporting is to try supporting it. this is to try and stop lawyers fighting individual cases to slow down. uh deportation flights when they're meant to start in may. we'll get those numbers to you as soon as we can. the numbers of tory mps supporting the amendments, trying to harden the government, government government, the government measure we expect the measure. we do expect the governme

so often these big parties get the votes out and it's very hard for reform. t noise on channels like gb news and others , and also on social media, can be enough to get over the line. the party was second in 20 2015 general election in wellingborough. that's the last comparable election . and they're comparable election. and they're hoping to do better than at this time. all the questions, though, martin, were about nigel farage time. all the questions, though, martitherere about nigel farage time. all the questions, though, martithe journalist. nigel farage time. all the questions, though, martithe journalist. nigel weree time. all the questions, though, maiintentionslalist.nigel weree time. all the questions, though, maiintentions ?list.nigel weree time. all the questions, though, maiintentions ? richardel weree time. all the questions, though, maiintentions ? richard ticeeree his intentions? richard tice said. he's a poker player. he'll declare his hand when he's ready . well, i've been told by insiders at reform uk is likely that won't happen until two mon

. feeling about the reform party. >> the reform party obviously >> the reform party is obviously spookingves >> the reform party is obviously spooking itszonservatives >> the reform party is obviously spooking its high rvatives >> the reform party is obviously spooking its high national because of its high national polling in headline polls. but it translated that it has never yet translated that into a real vote at a by—election or an election. and the problem reform has is it doesn't have a strong membership, it doesn't have a strong machine, it doesn't have a game. so there a strong ground game. so there is an open question. and this is what's reassuring conservative strategists. open strategists. there's an open question about the extent to which real which that reform vote is a real problem, way in problem, in the way ukip was in 2015, simply a polling 2015, or is simply a polling artefact. and any reason why the tories should be reassured at the moment about reform. >> i think the thing henry points . points. >> henry points are valid, but i would also say that reform doesn't actual

for the reform party?e chairman, said, what that's likely to do is ultimately give the labour party more seats. so so, yes, conservatives are worried about them. yes they would like them not to be standing everywhere. yes if nigel farage decide to be actively involved and it looks like he might not make that decision until really quite close to the election, that could send reforms, poll ratings up could send reforms, poll ratings ”p by could send reforms, poll ratings up by another few percent. but the conservatives argument is going to be all that's going to do is help put sir keir starmer in downing street. meanwhile rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, out today and basically saying don't believe these conservatives for false promises as they see them . the promises as they see them. the national insurance cut that the government is going to be heralding over the weekend, and the government has still been massively tax raising in this parliament and the tax burden still rising to its highest really, s

a reform party, the reform party of canada, that replaced the conservatives andtives in 1993. and i think i was nigel farage, i'd think if i was nigel farage, i'd be at these numbers and be looking at these numbers and thinking , we be looking at these numbers and thinking, we are seven points behind conservatives what behind the conservatives what happens if before the next general election reform are polling above the conservatives? not impossible . the brexit party not impossible. the brexit party almost did it in 2019. if that happens, all bets are off. then you're looking at what i would call a full blown realignment of the right in british politics. it's happened on two two occasions before canada in the 1990s. the labour party replacing the liberals in the early 20th century. it could happen again. >> matt goodwin, thank you very, very much. as ever, always a great way to start that show with that exclusive polling data. it did also appear, data. and it did also appear, didn't it, in that polling data that it it reiterated another gb news exclusive that we

richard tice is head of the party the moment . the reform party at the moment. edicted to take 10% of um is predicted to take 10% of the vote. um, and if nigel farage does decide to come back and that party, it's and lead that party, it's predicted to be 14% of the vote. but what do you make of the fact that in his first main political interview of the year of the election , he mentioned interview of the year of the electisunak , he mentioned interview of the year of the electisunak mentioned mentioned interview of the year of the electisunak mentioned a|entioned interview of the year of the electisunak mentioned a reformed rishi sunak mentioned a reform party? >> i think it shows how worried the with reform and the the party is with reform and the success that they will have. and you're right, they may not actually take it not actually take seats. it may not translate seats, translate into physical seats, but that it will do but the damage that it will do to conservative vote is to the conservative vote is enormous. and i think that's what to working what we nee

where are the sweet spots for reform party? for the reform party? at the seats like like clacton at the election. poll about election. the recent poll about arron banks. >> linked to that scene. >> there was about a handful of seats where ukip did quite well. wellingborough as wellingborough is one they, as i say, peter bone close say, they ran peter bone close in 2015 when was ukip not in 2015 when it was ukip not called reform. there's opportunity there, these are opportunity there, but these are really protest votes. the policies voting for. as policies they're voting for. as i try to indicate with the interview richard tice last interview with richard tice last week, know, how week, are that, you know, how are to pay for them, are you going to pay for them, isn't really being tested properly in the crucible of pubuc properly in the crucible of public that's the concern. >> we've had anderson >> and we've had lee anderson this week, richard holden now and mps saying a and multiple tory mps saying a vote vote for vote for reform is a vote for the

ansaf�*s party, al—islah, or the reform party, is one of the biggest political organisations in yemenby the muslim brotherhood, a popular international islamist movement. the muslim brotherhood is banned in several countries, including the uae, where their political activism and support for elections is seen as a threat to the rule of the royal family. but the us has never classified the muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organisation. if your handlers, the uae, said they are definitely terrorists, you had to trust that? yeah, absolutely. it's how it works. the mercenaries will talk about their attempt to kill ansaf mayo because their cover was blown, but they're still guarded about the rest of their list. so tell me about one of the other targets you pursued, other than mayo. i'm not going to mention any names. yeah. 0k. yeah. so we had another target. all right, this one was kind of interesting. now, this guy was in a walled compound. it was a three—storey house. not very big, but three storeys. guys were asleep, but as soon as we started coming in, they heard the gunshots, everybody

what do they make of the mounting threat from the reform party prospect of party and the prospect of resurgent nigel farage? as resurgent nigel farage? and as we kick off 2024, we'll get some analysis of all the latest polling from matt goodwin. let's get the show started, as even let's get the show started, as ever, with the papers. john sergeant, the former bbc and itn political correspondent, joins me this morning. john, lovely to see you. thank you for your company. let's have a look at the newspapers which are dominated one story. dominated really by one story. and office and that's this post office scandal. it interesting , scandal. i find it interesting, john, that we've known about this having affected subpostmasters across the country for years and yet it's this itv documentary , mr bates this itv documentary, mr bates versus the post office that's brought this all to light. let's have a look at some of the stories the sunday times has got a huge spread lost in the post. um, the sunday express is talking about more post office victims emerged 70 more since the documentary ha

because of the reform party .t, the pm said that polls will come and go . there are hundreds more this yeah . there are hundreds more this year, said . i mean, what more year, he said. i mean, what more can with mrp polls can he say with those mrp polls from yougov? they did forecast or much forecast or pretty well, much forecast the 2017 and 2019 results of the general election. they are ones not to ignore . now, people on not to ignore. now, people on the right of the party meeting tonight, the european research group of tory mps, the new conservatives, want the pm conservatives, they want the pm to toughen up his stance on this bill, tougher and harder bill, make it tougher and harder for lawyers to ignore , um, for lawyers to ignore, um, rulings, to deport more to rwanda. they want that to happen. but the question is, will he allow it? he can't do it because he might collapse a deal with rwanda on the one hand. on the other hand, the one nation left will not accept it. so left wing will not accept it. so he's

uh, in that parties like reform the green party , the lib reform the green party, the lib dems, why doy keep harping on bleating about having pr on bleating on about having pr in this country? oh it's very simple. >> they would get more seats in parliament under pr , and you can parliament under pr, and you can see the attraction of what they say. they say look, a lot of people in the country, maybe 15% will vote for a smaller party, but they don't get 15% of the seats in in the parliament. so they make what is seemingly a very attractive case. but because of the reasons we've just talked about, because of the reasons we've just talked about , the way in just talked about, the way in which it undermines that integrity in politics, i wouldn't want to see it . wouldn't want to see it. >> paula. yeah, i am it in italy. you told us what happens in italy. can we learn lessons from from other countries that have pr? >> absolutely. we have to learn the lesson. you will never have to change the winning horse with the because it's madness. the donkey because it's madness. in in 94, they reform

reform party. will you?i still think the conservative party is the best party moving forward to get us out of this mess. so it's very kind of. richard, we've had a few, you know, a few dingos few, um, you know, a few dingos over the past few weeks. the best forward solve this best way forward to solve this problem a strong conservative problem is a strong conservative party strong mps like party with strong mps like myself. >> e mean, it's >> funny. i mean, it's very interesting to interesting that it has led to people resigning what is, people resigning over what is, in as you're pointing out, in fact, as you're pointing out, quite a complex legal issue. this isn't your normal resignation over some, um, straightforward political right or wrong. it's really in the detail of legal effectiveness. >> yes, indeed . and it's really >> yes, indeed. and it's really about the interplay between parliamentary sovereignty and the role of the courts in our judicial landscape . and as judicial landscape. and as i pointed

we uh, the reform party on 12.terday that had reform on 13% in this poll for gb news. we also asked voters, would you ever consider voting for the reform party? and 16% of the country say they would. now that would suggest to me that there's still a few points for richard tice in his party to squeeze. they might go up a little bit more. we've got some crunch by elections coming up. what happens if reform finish above the conservatives? that's to pile on that's going to pile pressure on rishi what happens if rishi sunak. what happens if reform go up to 16 or 17? that's going to pile pressure on rishi sunak. going to pile pressure on rishi sunak . what happens if nigel sunak. what happens if nigel farage returns to the reform party that's going to pile pressure rishi sunak . so pressure on rishi sunak. so there's a really important dynamic emerging. of course, it could go the other way where rishi sunak could win those rishi sunak could win back those disillusioned conservatives who have gone to reform and by the way

polls suggest labour with a healthy lead, to his right, to what used to be the brexit party, the reform partyarty because �*s electoral fortunes is to identify issues and this is one he has made central, immigration, asylum, stop the boats, that promise, that priority he said. he hasn't stopped the boats, they are still coming, down quite a bit last year but still the second—highest year but still the second—highest year on record, but by pointing to this bit of the figures, the government thinks it can show it is making progress. more caseworkers, more cases dealt with, if labour as you are hearing saying that is just taking the public for fools, there is still a backlog, the total number of asylum cases are still around 100,000, but then it is an issue with delivery and the government not delivering, but this will be something portable a lot as we get nearer the election.— the time is 6:19. our top story this evening... five people are killed but hundreds of others make an extraordinary escape as an airliner and a coastguard plane collide in japan. and still to come — the triumphant return

party. now you've got reform. there is a challenger. >> well, you know perfectly well because you've made this point . because you've made this point. the brexit party had the great advantage in the european elections of , of proportional elections of, of proportional representation . you also had representation. you also had brilliant candidates, including one annunciator rees—mogg. i think inspired nation . um, think, inspired the nation. um, and that meant that people could vote for the brexit party , vote for the brexit party, knowing that it would lead directly to meps . the issue now directly to meps. the issue now is that , yes, reforms on 12, but is that, yes, reforms on 12, but it won't win a single seat. and it won't win a single seat. and it may well help turf out some quite proper conservatives. people you would find a lot in common. do you mean quite proper conservatives who've overseen massive tax rises, huge massive tax rises, a huge increase of the size of a state? >> i mean, quite open borders and

the red wall, the reform party, the red wall, the reform party to the right of the conservatives brandingives and labour the other day in their press conferences, basically socialists saying they're pretty much the same, saying that they are the party of the working class voters . i mean, the class voters. i mean, the leaders of the reform party, privately educated, very wealthy. but they're hoping to tap in to dissatisfaction that many people that voted conservative last time have with the current government, and certainly potential to cause the conservatives a lot of trouble as well. okay catherine, thank you . you. >> at 7:15, let's have a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom overnight . the the newsroom overnight. the second tranche of documents related to the late sex offender jeffrey epstein were unsealed by a court in new york. a further 19 documents totalling around 300 pages, add to the more than 900 pages of documents that were unsealed yesterday. they shed light on epstein's trafficking of teen girls and women . of teen girls and women. >> well, it comes as calls

and also here the reform party, i wouldn't describe it as the extreme right, but it's on the rise here. the uk use d to be the brexit party. and that's where we saw the immigration debate blow up. right wing parties capitalized on that. that informed a lot of the original trump campaign and now trump is coming back and r reinpyring a little of the ideas. and immigration is where the far right wing thrives. it's resinating. also here is like in america, there's more skepticism about funding the war in ukraine. parties are doing quite well. parties are suggesting we shouldn't be supporting the war in ukraine and sending funds over there. the topics are resinating are right wing issues. >> is it sort of a sign of the times that these are the issues that are motivating a certain base of people particularly on the right here. or what do you think it would take for that rise that we have seen to end or to slow down or shift in any way? >> it's interesting. i can't necessarily answer that, but when i speak to people who are voting for the right, this often comes down to cost of living economi

now so i compared, um, the reform party to one of these footballers who do amazing things the training't done it poll rating, but haven't done it in elections. think their in real elections. i think their best by—election vote share today just now uh, today is just over 5. now uh, back in the day with ukip in the run up to the 2014 european elections, the 2015 general election, ukip was coming, you know, second or third in by elections with 20% of the vote. and that is partly what what led douglas carswell and mark reckless to defect from the tories and stand in by elections 7 tories and stand in by elections ? they thought they could win under ukip colours. so reform needs to actually turn this poll rating into actual votes. and i think a lot of people question it. >> they they don't have a branch structure. >> they're a sort of, uh, could be category as a bit of a politics showbiz elite project. >> where are the ground troops? can they do it? because this is a real sweet spot. rishi sunak is in huge trouble. well kingborough in particular, ukip came second in in the 2015 general elec

party. we need reform of centre party. ion, net zero, immigration, net zero, immigration, do immigration, not net zero. do you will see any you think we will see any conservative across conservative mps across to reform? rich richard reform? nigel rich richard tice seems that they will. seems to think that they will. >> i think the thing is, >> i mean, i think the thing is, it's lovely idea. um, and you it's a lovely idea. um, and you could see why they would want to do it, but reality is they do it, but the reality is they won't get a seat. so and a lot of, you and, know, of, you know, and, you know, politicians, know, if you're politicians, you know, if you're not parliament, you no not in parliament, you have no agency. so it's kind of it's agency. so it's a kind of it's tough talk. but at the end of the day, you know, people want to so that they can to be elected so that they can do their jobs. and that's not going with reform, going to happen with reform, i don't no, i think reform don't think no, i think reform is goi
