um, we've seen some pictures here of richard tice, who was canvassing up there with him. his morning? what does he learn from this result ? does he learn from this result? >> well, reform certainly underperformed. i mean, nationally they're averaging 11% in the polls . nationally they're averaging 11% in the polls. um, we saw them do a little bit better than that at the wellingborough by—election recently. um, they should have done a lot better in rochdale. it does have quite a significant white working class vote. they should really have momentum behind them given where they are nationally. so there is something not quite clicking here for reform . i would even here for reform. i would even argue then as well that reform should have done better. uh, at both wellingborough and kingswood , given the enormous kingswood, given the enormous disillusionment there is in the country over the issues that reform is targeting , stopping reform is targeting, stopping the small boats we learnt only yesterday from new data in the home office that we've only removed 1.3% of people who h

he once called richard tice a pound shop nigel farage.d go on to say that, you know, if you vote reform, that is effectively a vote for labour, a party that he has already left. so people will question, lee's question, i think lee's judgement this and just a judgement in this and just a word, on the of word, finally, on the issue of defection, a lot of people think that kind of undemocratic that that's kind of undemocratic because into because you weren't voted into that constituency for that party. >> what has been his response to that, and is that fair enough? >> well, i think he's effectively said, look, we're not to have a by—election not going to have a by—election because too close to the because we're too close to the general election, and that might just a waste taxpayers just be a waste of taxpayers money. people money. i think, look, the people of will ultimately money. i think, look, the people of whether ultimately money. i think, look, the people of whether they 1ately money. i think, look, the people of whether they want' mo

man i'm pay more richard tice man i'm not i'm definitely not a richard tice but i do think tice, think we have themselves, but i think we have to remember that in 1970s it to remember that in the 1970s it was completely normal . in fact, was completely normal. in fact, it written law that the it was written into law that the personal allowance to rise personal allowance had to rise with there was with inflation. there was a special that two special amendment that two labour backbenchers actually addedin labour backbenchers actually added in the 1970s, the rookie wise amendment. and i think that should the now. it should be the case now. it should be the case now. it should be the case now. it should be absolutely normal that we increase the brackets, we should increase the brackets, but the personal but particularly the personal allowance, that people can allowance, so that people can keep more of their money when they're lowest paid. >> sam lister in >> let's bring sam lister in here the personal here because the personal allowance frozen until allowance being frozen until 2028

richard tice in a naval uniform on a frigate turning the boats back himself?y, so that's a pretty good thought. but no, of course that's not what we're planning to do. look at what australia did and look at what belgium did. >> people tend to forget belgium , the is that what , and the answer is that what you is you intercept the you do is you intercept the boats and you take occupants boats and you take the occupants of back to where they of the boats back to where they came from, which this case is came from, which in this case is france, and by the time you've set off and had to go back, you know , several times, you've run know, several times, you've run out of money, no longer out of money, you're no longer able to pay the tracking agent, so that is the first thing. but the second thing is, okay, some will still get through . they will still get through. they will still get through. they will be held in secure reception centres, not hotels, where they can come and go and disappear in secure reception centres so that we can process them quickly and again,

and i always i think richard tice would stand aside. >> do you think yes. aside. >> io you think yes.. >> i don't think he would. >> is a very good >> richard tice is a very good media performer. he's a solid sort presence. there but he sort of presence. there but he just doesn't have the same name recognition as nigel. no, no. >> if you do, no, well, all that and more . thank you both. we. and more. thank you both. we. it's flying by today, isn't it? that monday feeling with britain's newsroom on gb news. >> the 38. you're with britain's newsroom gb news andrew pierce and bev turner. >> so how do we solve a problem like gb news? >> that was the name of an event hosted by the so—called media reform sheffield reform coalition at sheffield university. the weekend, university. over the weekend, while our reporter, charlie peters went along despite not getting . getting an invite. >> in fact, he gatecrashed it, and so let's hear and he's here. so let's hear what had to say. here it is. what he had to say. here it is. >> this room is mostly empty, but gb news yesterday beat sky and the bbc

labour governments and tory governments idea , after governments on the idea, after that famous richard ticeyou index link every single year. it's it used to be written into the law. no chance to get out of it that you index linked the personal allowance. whether you're an old age aged 90 a well off age pensioner aged 90 a well off pensioner, poorly pensioner. that was the way you did it. so it's bad politics now. i think we've got to be a little bit fair to jeremy hunt. pensioners have been well looked after with the triple lock , i'm bunged £500 the triple lock, i'm bunged £500 every november for my heating allowance, and as ken clarke said, he gets it as well. i would much rather keep the triple lock, i think it needs to be kept for the poorer pensioners, tax those of us that are fortunate enough to have a private pension pay and we are paying private pension pay and we are paying our tax anyway, unlike the, the, the working population. but i think politics wise they should have extended the thresholds and we're going to get to the bizarre situation, by the way, where some pensioners are

so this is leader richard tice.ry pleased , and he says he's very pleased, and he says he's very pleased, and he says it was a tactic to smear the party. and arguably you can't really deny that that that is true . obviously this is part is true. obviously this is part of a wider movement where anybody within on, the left of the spectrum would sort of say anything is far right that disagrees with their ideology . disagrees with their ideology. >> well, they would certainly. i mean, i suppose they say the reform party probably would characterise itself as broadly to so to the right of sunak. so i suppose that is far right. >> suggests neo—nazis. >> suggests neo— nazis. >> suggests neo— nazis. >> absolutely >> suggests neo—nazis. >> absolutely . and hard >> yes, absolutely. and hard right does as well, doesn't it, in a way that hard left and far left never seem to. >> well, i think people are waking up to particularly how toxic left is. yeah but toxic the far left is. yeah but you know, like if you, if you want a male
