they should believe in it. >> thank you again to richard tice.inute, i'm going to be speaking to the woman who could take over the tories. suella braverman you obviously won't want to miss that interview, so stay tuned. we'll be back in three. welcome back to the camilla tominey show on gb news i'm joined in the studio now by suella braverman. the former home secretary. newly elected tory mp , one of 121 suella. tory mp, one of 121 suella. absolutely, can we just cut to the chase? are you standing? >> oh, gosh , i know camilla. >> oh, gosh, i know camilla. >> oh, gosh, i know camilla. >> you want. you want the drama, you want the headlines ? i'm you want the headlines? i'm going to have to disappoint you. why? no announcements? listen >> why, why why are you holding back? because it's obvious from your speech when you won your seat on thursday night, early friday morning. it's been obvious from some of the op eds you've written before. the election. it's certainly obvious from what you've written in the sunday telegraph today that you are to use

of course , richard tice, who was course, richard tice, who was the leader until nigel farage swept inlled by this as more desperate by the tories. but yes, certainly this is good news. nigel farage has had a rocky week or so, hasn't he? after the comments about, the west having provoked putin and ukraine and also, you know, and ukraine and also, you know, and now we have this, of course, and now we have this, of course, and also the, the caught on camera , comments at the end of camera, comments at the end of last week . so rishi sunak, last week. so rishi sunak, despite the polls . despite the polls. >> catherine, i think your feed is just a little bit too juddery. let's catch up with, catherine a little bit later on, we'll have to read out the candidate list, actually, for west ham and beckton as it was mentioned, we have emily bigland from the liberal democrats, louise austin, a trade unionist and socialist coalition. holly alice ramsay , conservatives, alice ramsay, conservatives, george david, reform uk, james edward asare, labour party, rob callender, green party, sophie naqvi,

mp richard tice mp richard tice . tice mp richard tice. >> right.robinson being arrested under anti—terror laws. don't go anywhere. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. >> welcome back to some breaking news. >> really important news to. and. please. they've got it right. the high court has ruled the previous court tory government's ban on using emergency puberty blockers. we're talking about teenagers at the tavistock institute was lawful. more on this. throughout the day on gb news. >> when we've got it right, as we digest our 11:00 digestives. can you see sorry, your courses then we're joined by journalist and i bought them, by the way, as usual , not and i bought them, by the way, as usual, not offered to us. regular viewers will know that at the 11:00 1115 break, we like to have a cup of tea and start on a biscuit, don't we? emma woolf is here. matthew laza is also here with us. thank you both so much forjoining us this morning. right, tory leadership contest, a bit of politics. go on. matt. >> so suella braverman has has fallen at the first h

after ben habib was dumped as deputy leader and replaced by richard tice.s mathewson. james always a pleasure to have you on the show. so all political parties fall out. it just seems that reform or doing it rather quickly, they are on there. >> and of course, this was inevitable, i think, martin, because you've got this power vacuum now, then you didn't have it before because they had no power. >> there was nothing to fight over other than party structure. >> and the general political party itself. >> and of course, who wants a political party that doesn't have any seats? well, now they do have seats. so there is actually something to scrap oven actually something to scrap over. and i think it was inevitable. you've got three rich lads, right? you've got three very rich lads at the top of this party, you've got richard tice, you've got obviously nigel farage, the, the figurehead and then you've got ben habib, who now is obviously, in a bit of a huff, it seems, from his social media that he's been moved out of the way in favour of richard tice. so it's a po

richard tice. >> well done. richard tice. we've announced and who we haven't. yes. where do you think reform to one. >> richard, where do you think reform might top out, richard? >> because we had the exit poll predicting 13 seats. obviously we know you've won. we know that lee anderson has won in ashfield. we know that nigel farage has won in clacton. what do you think your vote share might be? do you know how many people might have voted for you overall? what's your projections on it ? on it? >> what we're hearing and obviously it's changing by by the half hour. what we're heanng the half hour. what we're hearing is that the vote share may end up around the 17% mark. and that means that, well over 5 million, possibly over 6 million people have voted for reform. and if you think where we've come from, three years ago, we were at 0. and so we're just incredibly proud of that so many millions of people looking for, looking for hope voted with their heart today. looking for hope voted with their heart today . and our their hear

this martin stella creasy agreed with richard tice , the reform uk richard tice, the reform uk chairmanre? there's121 tory mps, 70 or so lib dem mps. you've got a labour party sitting on a huge majority and the concern is going to be that by exercising power this way, they're drunk on power and they're keen to get rid of any opposition at all. and that will come back to bite them, reckon. >> maybe we need a new de facto chairman. maybe that person should be nigel farage. now he's a member of parliament. somebody's got to keep an eye on this brussels movement. otherwise, if we're not careful, the cat flaps have been left unscrewed. >> well, your old colleague from the brexit party in the european parliament. let's see if nigel farage does step up because people are watching him going to america, meeting his friend donald trump after the shooting. is he here in parliament and will he be there , ensuring or at will he be there, ensuring or at least protesting about this removal of this attempt to keep a check on weakening brexit? the test for him, i think. >> well, the european scrutiny co

the man who did win one of the five seats is richard tice, who was previously the chairman.eputy leader in habib's place. and the new chairman is a chap called zia yusuf, who's appeared on this channel and we've discussed him before. rising star within the party didn't stand as a candidate this time, but clearly seen as a significant player, and they wanted to reward him and get him, provide him a seat at the table, so to speak. and habib is the one who's lost out here, and he's saying he's considering his position within the broader party and he's upset about it. i mean, i think it looks like nigel farage has, made this position clear for him. the problem ben habib has, as i said, is he didn't win his seat. and i think it was a mistake to stand in wellingborough, where i'm from, because he knew, having stood in the by—election, about six months ago in february, where he came third, he knew he was up against it there. and, you know, reform is a small party. it he could have stood in one of those 98 other seats. obviously he didn't know 98 of the seats. he was going to come s

>> well, look, nigel farage and richard tice are on the record.e nec when nigel got in front of it, up in front of everyone on the 5th of july and said, we are going to we are going to democratise the party. i've been chairman for about three days, last i checked, and that's that's what we're working on. we're going to be, as i said, building up a branch infrastructure. we are going to be democratising the party. so look, the party did an astonishing amount with a threadbare budget, with a tiny team with no national infrastructure. and that structure served the purpose, frankly, the one you were referring to for where we were. but obviously we're extremely ambitious. as i said, we're going to be a force to be reckoned with in the local elections next year. we'll be looking at wales the year after and obviously have our sights set on achieving something truly remarkable in 20. but as it stands, though , nigel farage stands, though, nigel farage could just decide it could wake up tomorrow and decide he doesn't like you and just give you the boot. bu

richard tice comments come after reform candidate george david defected to the conservative.'s accused some of her former colleagues of having racist, misogynistic and bigoted views. however, miss david said she didn't believe reforms senior leadership is racist in response, reform said it was strange that she chose not to bnng strange that she chose not to bring up any of her concerns with the party's leadership before publicly trashing her colleagues in this way. former dup leader sir jeffrey donaldson is set to face seven more historical sex offence charges when he appears in court tomorrow. northern ireland's longest serving mp is now accused of 18 offences in total. the 61 year old has previously said he'll deny all of them, as has his wife, who is facing another separate allegation . and another separate allegation. and in the united states , president in the united states, president biden's received his first pubuc biden's received his first public call from a democrat in congress urging him to step down from the electoral race. lloyd doggett has insisted his decision

. >> sir keir starmer, meanwhile, the chairman of reform uk, richard tice, has accused the conservative party of placing trojan horse candidates in his party to spread lies. it comes after a second reform candidate defected to the tories, accusing some of her former colleagues of having racist, misogynistic and bigoted views. however, georgie david said she did not believe reforms senior leadership was racist . reforms say they racist. reforms say they disagree with miss david's sweeping statement, saying she's never met the vast majority of their 600 plus candidates . the their 600 plus candidates. the number of historical sex offences former dup leader sir jeffrey donaldson is facing has risen from 11 to 18. northern ireland's longest serving mp is expected at a court hearing tomorrow to establish if his case will be sent for trial. the 61 year old's previously said he'll contest all counts against him , as has his wife, who's him, as has his wife, who's facing a separate allegation now away from politics today. a student nurse described as an incredibly dangerous man who intended to

. >> the chairman of reform uk , >> the chairman of reform uk, richard tice, has accused the conservativesf placing , quote, conservatives of placing, quote, trojan horse candidates to spread lies about the party. it comes after a second reform candidate suspended her campaign and defected to the conservatives george georgie david rather accused the vast majority of candidates of being racist and misogynistic. the reform spokesperson described her comments as sweeping and her actions as sad and strange. the prime minister says the party hasn't acted quickly enough. >> well , we've seen hasn't acted quickly enough. >> well, we've seen some appalling comments that have been made that i addressed last week and, you know, what we have seen is candidates and campaigners openly espousing racist and misogynistic views, seemingly without challenge. and that tells you something about the culture within the reform party. overall, that's questions for nigel farage. but on thursday, there's a clear choice for people and if you want your taxes cut, if you want your pension protected and you want our bo

jonathan ashworth and but big wins for reform nigel farage, richard tice lee anderson, all big namesrt lowe all in. >> well, let's cross to westminster and speak to ellie costello, who can bring us up to date on what's going to be happening. a lot of mps. ellie's not in westminster this morning, but making their way back there very quickly, and we will be expecting, i assume, a statement from the prime minister perhaps in the next hour or two. >> yes. good morning to you, eamonn. and isabel. and what a night it has been. now a new dawn in british politics. labour have won the 2024 general election by a landslide. and here in westminster you might be able to make out we're actually standing in a tent. and that is because it is absolutely pouring with rain. pathetic fantasy, you might say, for rishi sunak and the tory party, it has been a washout, hasn't it? it has been a wipe—out and the extent to that loss will become clear throughout the day. but rishi sunak, speaking about an hour and a half ago, accepting responsibility for that tory defeat he is now heading back to london and, as

he did hit back earlier today, he wrote i have just been informed by nigel farage that richard tice iseader of the party. consequently, i no longer hold that position. i am considering my position more generally in light of this change. i've long held concerns about the control of the party and the decision making process. i will reflect on all of this well, and thank you very much for joining us. now i mean, is forjoining us. now i mean, is ben habib right to suggest that there might be certain issues behind the scenes here at reform? it doesn't seem like a particularly united front now . particularly united front now. >> i have been speaking to ben habib this afternoon, and as he says, he is quite literally reflecting on the situation which has arisen now, it was quite obvious, first of all, your chief whips got to be in parliament, so that had to go to lee anderson. secondly, it's also quite obvious that once nigel had come back as leader , nigel had come back as leader, richard tice was in limbo for some time. i mean, he had no formal position, so obviously the obvious position for

i think richard tice his because he's now looking for a home in his constituency, maybe.ith the boring. they've got to have the day to day and it's that that has kept some people in by a wafer thin majority because people respect them for being a good constituency mp. >> but they're also quite they're also known as nimbys though when it with regards to planning. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well we need we need this is going to be really interesting stuff over the next couple of years. actually i think if we need more houses, yes, we do with the labour party's plan to override some of the local plans , override some of the local plans, but there are ways that you can do it. >> i mean, for instance , we know >> i mean, for instance, we know that since covid and slightly before covid, the bottom's fallen out of retail. you look at town centres around the country, empty buildings , empty country, empty buildings, empty shops that could be turned into housing. no, absolutely. so you can change planning rules to allow change of use. >> there have been a few examples of that

and he lost her seat by a couple of hundred votes, nigel farage winning his seat last night, richard tice for mps seat for reform as well . for mps seat for reform as well. >> so a big night for them, i guess. >> so a big night for them, i guess . and nigel will say, you guess. and nigel will say, you know, this is a start of our full 4 or 5 year plan, ten year plan, in fact. so they will be pleased with that result. the exit polls last night initially said that reform might have won as many as 13 seats. yeah, it didn't come to pass in the end. >> the other the point about the share of the vote, though, is very significant. if they've got under 34, that is the lowest figure for a majority government in modern british history. for 34. it is astonishingly low that it shows. again, there isn't that great enthusiasm for keir starmer as prime minister. it was an anti—conservative party vote. people were fed up with the tories. they'd been in power for 14 years and it was time for a change, and i don't think people were listening to anything, rishi sunak said. and of course he did make some gri

. >> well, reform uk chairman richard tice told us the tories have had their chance. >> well, look, iean, our progress and success has been self—evident for the last six months. they will have the chance to join us, to defect to us like lee anderson did. they decided to stay in the existing conservative tent. and in a sense, there are consequences to people's decisions. they made that decision and in a sense, they paid the price. that's what competition is all about. i mean , competition is all about. i mean, we came second in almost 100 seats across the united kingdom. we're now the dominant opposition in the north of england to the labour party . so england to the labour party. so we've made huge progress. and i come back, you know, competition is a fundamental conservative principle. they should believe in it . in it. >> england are to face the netherlands in the euros semi—finals after beating switzerland in germany last night. the three lions beat switzerland on penalties five three after the game ended one all after extra time. the prince of wales was among football fans rejoici

what about richard tice lee anderson? and is rupert on the end there?h, rupert lowe was the number one on the ticket in the west midlands. >> i was number two on the ticket of the mep, so i was elected on the night in birmingham. >> sorry, sorry to interject. so, so we're going to go back to chris hope in downing street very quickly. >> number nine. yeah well emily. and. emily and ben . and. emily and ben. >> yes. we can hear you. what's going on? yeah we just saw anneliese dodds. >> who's a we saw emily. emily, we just saw anneliese dodds. who's the labour party chair, going into a different route into downing street. she went up through number, number, nine downing street, which is normally the room that we go to for our lobby briefings. i don't know why that is. so i'm unable to shout to her what her job might be for you both. but she has entered downing street, so anneliese dodds in downing street. >> can you see if we can go back to nigel farage there in central london? >> right. so go back to that , >> right. so go back to that, that question you

richard tice just gave a speech.oss very quickly to downing street. i believe as a number of people have been entering this, john healey , who entering this, john healey, who is entering, into downing street to find out what position he has. he is currently the shadow secretary of state for defence. well, he was before the labour win would require hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of massive pylons to be there. >> certainly . >> certainly. >> certainly. >> i think the new defence have a nice white man. >> okay. thanks, chopper. at least you got a response, unlike angela rayner. so possibly defence secretary there, we've had rachel reeves, angela raynen had rachel reeves, angela rayner, john healey , is that it? rayner, john healey, is that it? who else has gone in? >> i believe we've also had shabana mahmood, also enter into number 10. so we'll be finding out very shortly what positions those people have been given. >> can i just say healey is fascinating because he has one foot in the blair camp and historically as

banging you know, richard tice banging on about, you know , electoral on about, you know, electorale banging on about small boats is a big problem. and, you know, you could if you could have neutralised farage richard tice all due respect to him and the rest of the his name. nigel. but he's not nigel farage and he isn't going to cause the problems that nigel farage is going to cause. the conservative party on july the 4th. >> is he also going to cause a problem for labour? nigel. >> yeah, i think he can actually and i think if you look across look if you look across the country, there are seats in the past where particularly in the run up to the brexit vote, ukip and the brexit party were taking votes from labour. it's certainly where my constituency, as much as from us. the challenge now is, i think a lot of those people then voted for us in 2019, which is where we've got this big majority and with big majorities within that. so therefore there's going to be a lot of those people who might have voted labour in 2010 or 15, but have since then voted for ukip, or then the conservative

richard tice , the already had. reassured with the level of violence that was shown. that is not helpful ehhen shown. that is not helpful either. you've had people, obviously from the workers party. say we're going to, you know, protest and it's going to be something you've never seen before. that, for me, is also worrisome because the majority of muslims, pakistani muslims like myself living in the uk , we like myself living in the uk, we don't want to see race riots. we don't want to see race riots. we don't want to see, more of this. like division was on them, this for us is really worrying. and what's happened yesterday should not have happened as a pakistani muslim or that i travel a lot. by muslim or that i travel a lot. by the way, i'm constantly flying , i'm constantly flying, i'm constantly travelling. and oftentimes i will go with my son who has a beard, or my nephews who don't , beard, or my nephews who don't, but obviously the pakistani boys as well. and the footage that was shown like various different

largely in unison but one voice out of sync earlier was richard tice from reform, saying that the imagesicians who have responded to this footage so far, have said they are concerned and they understand that concern, but the government often doesn't try and make a conclusion on these things and leaves it for an investigation to play out, asjudith was just saying there. but there isn't complete uniformity on this, and the reform party, led by nigel farage but now with five mps in parliament, has been a bit of an outlier on this, saying that it actually thinks that the police officers who responded to this incident should be commended and given medals, have a listen to lee anderson. the and given medals, have a listen to lee anderson-— lee anderson. the message i am nettina lee anderson. the message i am getting loud _ lee anderson. the message i am getting loud and _ lee anderson. the message i am getting loud and clear— lee anderson. the message i am getting loud and clear from - lee anderson. the message i am getting loud and clear from my i getting loud and clear from my constituents i

they wouldn't have voted for reform if it had been led by richard tice. richard. he's capable, man. very good businessman. but he doesn't have that oomph, that charisma, nigel gets through to people like boris does, and that is something that is very valuable in politics and the conservatives need to work out how can we have an offering that is not only sound politically, not only deals with migration and cutting taxes, but has a presentation that can cut through to voters. >> danny kruger, the quickest way to absorb that vote is surely just to absorb nigel farage, as the conservatives. >> well, he's saying he doesn't want to join the conservative party. and as it is now, well, and he's just stood against us at an election. so i don't think there's any question of a of him joining us or of us joining him. the fact is we are two different parties, but some of us in the conservative party share the same analysis as he and those voters who've left us, which is the british government failed the british government failed the british government failed the britis

and he was accused richard tice at that stage was accused of weaponizing the climate crisis.tion it and we have to make sure that we listen to all sides in the debate, because if we shut down debate, because if we shut down debate, then basically you're going to shut down getting the truth. >> greg, you talk about renewables, you know, and for most people, myself included , most people, myself included, we're talking there about wind turbines and solar panels now. yeah seriously? seriously, greg, thatis yeah seriously? seriously, greg, that is those are not, sources of energy that can be relied upon round the clock. and most specifically, they cannot be relied upon. the sun doesn't shine when we need it, and the wind doesn't blow when we need it, you know, in in what sense is anyone even being realistic about. is anyone even being realistic about . so talking about about. so talking about alternatives . alternatives. >> absolutely agree, and this is where actually now there's been some planning law changes for battery storage , which is battery storage, which is something tha

i'm the leader now, not richard tice, who was previously he made appointments a new leader, makes his appointments, obviously, logically. but secondly, the fact is we're now parliamentary party. and so i felt that the deputy leader role, which had been with david bull and with ben habib and there's no complaints about either of them whatsoever. but logically , that whatsoever. but logically, that deputy leader now has to be in the house of commons and richard tice is fully, ably equipped to do that job. and secondly, we have to professionalise the party. and that's why i've chosen, you know , zia yusuf, chosen, you know, zia yusuf, this 37 year old multi—millionaire tech entrepreneur, a guy that's done, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy that's done phenomenally well in life and right at the minute has loads of money and loads of time on his hands and nothing to do. so i've just given him a very, very tough job as chairman of the party to sort the whole thing out. >> all right. >> all right. >> so just very finally, ni

john, do you see when you see the richard tice has done well, lee anderson has done well, nigel has done obviously a couple of others as well, rupert lowe being one of them. they say they've established a bridgehead now in policy. >> i think the problem is i suppose, and certainly obviously a lot of people feel very strongly about immigration. big issue, very important tax is another one though. >> and there's no question about that. >> and a lot of people feel strongly about it. they want it to happen. but everything now depends. i think, on what are the opportunities for protest. i mean, this has been a long running period up to the election. and what you can't do is assume that it'll all go on the same way. tories will be arguing amongst themselves. there'll be issues of immigration. people will be going into nigel farage meetings and try and disrupt them. but hold on a moment. there's been an election with a completely different political structure, and you've got to be very careful in assuming that, oh, well, so we'll all carry on the same way people won't. everything changes with t

. >> richard tice is urging him to do it. >> well, that's yeah, that's who's urging him.g keir starmer would do. in fact you know keir starmer is mr human rights. and you know you can't you cannot deport you know criminals who aren't from this country or aren't from this country or aren't citizens because of the human rights legislation. so there's absolutely no way he's going to do that. so instead he's decided to simply release any prisoner who served 40% of their sentence. yeah and things can only get worse . mantra is can only get worse. mantra is now coming into play. so it's like , how can we make things like, how can we make things even worse than they were for the last 14 years? release the criminals. >> but the biggest nationality in this set of people who are deportable , i suppose are the deportable, i suppose are the easiest way of saying it, are albanian, and we've got an agreement, a returns agreement, which must imply that returning to there doesn't contravene human rights. so i think there's some space where he could do this. >> hopefully we can. you're ri

which i think made it interesting and a cause of legitimate inquiry, was, as nigel farage and richard ticeed, it was a complete start up party. so we didn't really know anything about their 600 candidates. so you had to go and find out. we knew a lot more about the conservatives and laboun >> tell me, oh yeah, it was so interesting in this new start up that we had nothing better to do then, inform ourselves about them, i think. >> but there was a bit more to it. >> but there were so many more reform candidates who bluntly were far right extremists , you were far right extremists, you know, but on support, supporting the british national party, appeasing hitler, someone saying that we should have, you know, done a deal with hitler in the second world war. these are views that are way out of kilter with where the british public are. and i think a lot of those stupid opinions, were very swiftly dealt with, wasn't there? >> there was people removed from the party who were very quickly. what do you think to it all at home? there's a lot i want to talk to you about after the break. do you think

. >> keir starmer, now the chairman of reform uk richard tice, has accused the conservative party ofcing a trojan horse set of candidates to spread lies in the party. it comes after a second reform candidate suspended her campaign and defected to the tories. george david accused the vast majority of candidates of being racist and she said misogynistic. but a reform spokesman described her comments as sweeping and her actions as sad and strange . and just lastly sad and strange. and just lastly , royal mint has honoured team gb's olympic and paralympic athletes with a new £0.50 coin. it comes ahead of the paris games in just 24 days time. the collectable, which has prices starting from £12, features athletes against a backdrop of the union flag with a silhouette of the eiffel tower. the royal mint says they hope the coin serves as a special good luck token . those are the latest gb token. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm polly middlehurst. i'm back in an hour with more news for you. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by

only going to add succour to people like your leader of reform uk, nigel farage and of course richard ticeo i think there's a recognition that this needs to be dealt with. now. the problem, which i think is, is can be predicted is that if you are giving, let's say , let's say giving, let's say, let's say let's call it 62%, which is what the refugee council is saying. the problem is that if you say to the gangs, right, they recognise they they read the they know the system as well as anybody. we would imagine. that's why they're taking it. they're able to take advantage of it and operate. so effectively. and of course it's a they need to be they need to be smashed. as keir starmer says, nobody denies that. but if they're able to say to somebody, right, 2500 pounds and i'm going to give you a 6 in 10 chance that when you get to the uk, you're going to be able to say, i would, i would predict that's quite a good sell from their point of view, 6 in 10 are going to be able to stay in the uk. the good news is theo, if you do get rejected you can just go missing. well yeah i mean that's a huge pr

he's got 20 minutes on the stage, which is actually longer than ann widdecombe and richard tice.rson who got longer was obviously nigel farage himself. right. so they clearly think this guy is a rising star. and his his speech was very powerful. it was well written, he charismatic and so on, they see him as a big player, whatever his role actually is, other than opening his wallet, he is clearly relevant to the future of the party, and it was interesting to see him wheeled out and given so much space. >> interesting. i'm looking at the clips. yeah, it's hard not to think this is an incredibly american style of campaign. it's all about boosting the base. it's all about that air war. and it's all about that air war. and isuppose it's all about that air war. and i suppose there's very little of the traditional british knocking on your neighbour's door. >> no, not a lot of that. no. yeah it's all politics is showbiz. politics is theatre. that's what nigel farage loves. that's what nigel farage loves. that's his bread and butter. and he was obviously in his element last night, you kno

. >> meanwhile, reform uk chairman richard tice told us the tories have had their chance. >> well, look, i mean, our progress and success has been self—evident for the last six months. they will have the chance to join us, to defect to us like lee anderson did. they decided to stay in the existing conservative tent and in a sense, you know, there are consequences to people's decisions . they made that decisions. they made that decisions. they made that decision and in a sense, they paid the price . that's what paid the price. that's what competition is all about. i mean, we came second in almost 100 seats across the united kingdom. we're now the dominant opposition in the north of england to the labour party. so we've made huge progress. and i come back, you know , competition come back, you know, competition is a fundamental conservative principle. they should believe in it. >> the funeral of former rugby england international rob burrow is taking place in pontefract. the 41 year old died on june 2nd after a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease today. today's service coincides wit

richard tice, chairman of reform uk, is accusing the conservatives of dirty tricks, saying they are offeringefect. he says it is now nigel farage who has questions to answer this lunchtime. this is good news for rishi sunak, who spent time trying to one, as he saw it, about reform uk, campaigning in seats that were at risk. keir starmer says that if you want change, you must vote for it. thank you, ian. you can find a full list of candidates standing in every constituency on the bbc news website. you can also find guides to party manifestos, interviews with party leaders and links to the recent debates across the bbc. just head to bbc.co.uk/news or the bbc news app where you'll find our coverage of the general election so far. at least one person has died after hurricane beryl made landfall in several countries in the caribbean. thousands of people are in temporary shelters and without power after strong winds battered the islands of st vincent and the grenadines, grenada and st lucia. jamaica and haiti are next in its path and bracing themselves for its arrival, as thomas magill reports. ba

but boy, richard tice may not admitted.work with. so whether or not he would a want to be working with the conservative party and whether he would stick with us for very long, you know, is an interesting point . interesting point. >> let me bring olivia utley into this. olivia >> well, what i found really interesting about that gb news poll we showed earlier was that over 60% of british people don't know who they'd like to see as the next conservative leader, do you think that perhaps none of the, possibilities that we've discussed have what it takes? and if so, are there any other names that you think should perhaps be thrown into the ring? >> well, that's a good question, olivia. >> and, you know, you could argue that some of these people are tainted by being in the party that lost the last election. who else might be there? you never know. there's people like danny kruger and others of the think he was the 2019 intake. there may even people of the 2024 intake. but this is the thing which i'm afraid is a sad fact. it ain'

so if they're going to win anything like 13 seats or so, then richard tice should win in boston.o that would be matt warman, the conservative losing but very interesting one to watch on liz truss there a bit later in the evening. of course we'll be back with here as soon as we get that bridget phillipson result into the map. we'll know a bit more. >> lovely stuff tom. thank you . >> lovely stuff tom. thank you. >> lovely stuff tom. thank you. >> we're going to go back to essex. >> i think we better have a bit of a party. patrick and michelle are there . are there. >> okay. hello and welcome back to the gb news watch party. we have moved from the main area there where very shortly share is going to be taking to the floor to the bar area. haven't we? hey. and you'll be able to see this legend here. well, come on in, bobby. here he is. >> come on. »- >> come on. >> so we've just had the. we've just had the first seat reveal and sunderland . labour. and sunderland. labour. >> hold it. what do you think ? >> hold it. what do you think? >> hold it. what do you think? >> i think reform

also going to be speaking to the reform chairman, richard tice. could probably estimate that the tories might have won, what, maybe 100 more seats than they did. they still wouldn't have won enough to command a majority in the house of commons, but they would have done much better. so i want to ask richard two things, you know, is he feeling any guilt at all for the fact that it was reform who pushed out very brexity, very right wing candidates, like, for instance, jacob rees—mogg and andrea jenkins. but secondly , i andrea jenkins. but secondly, i think the question now for reform is how do they professionalise the operation? how do they recalibrate moving forward? how are their five mps going to build that bridgehead that nigel farage has been talking about? intriguingly guys, we were going to have laboun guys, we were going to have labour, we were going to have the business secretary, newly appointed jonathan reynolds. but at the last minute, they blamed at the last minute, they blamed a scheduling problem for saying that they weren't going to

. >> richard tice about the hypocrisy of it.t now the civil service will find a way of facilitating the deportations for these people and the processing of them in a way that one could never have imagined they would do under the conservatives. >> no, it's not hypocrisy. it's having a sensible government that isn't, bound by ideology for the sake of it. and what i would say they won't deport than we saw starmer stop the deportation of foreign criminals from this country. >> he was dead against it. >> he was dead against it. >> what i would say is that, you know, there's clearly some very dodgy shops, you know, london, central london is full of these weird, sweet shops with no customers. right? all across the country, you see it? the answer is id cards. it would make it so much more difficult for any of these people to get work for employers to get around employing illegal immigrants. if we had id cards in this country and every home secretary finishes their time in office and says, yeah, actually i think that would have helped. a

but chairman richard tice sought to remedy this by highlighting the diversity of some of reform's candidatesclip of this now . how. >> now. >> apparently we're all racists . >> apparently we're all racists. apparently we're all bigots . apparently we're all bigots. apparently we're all bigots. apparently we're all xenophobes . apparently we're all xenophobes. apparently we're all xenophobes. apparently we're all far right . apparently we're all far right. apparently we're all far right. apparently we're all far right. apparently we hate foreigners or people with different coloured skin . and yet, and yet . skin. and yet, and yet. >> yeah. now, look, i get why you guys maybe did that, but i just wonder whether or not you feel as though that video was actually pandering to the kind of pro diversity mob a bit really? >> well, look, i think we should do. we'd be well advised to take martin luther king's advice and judge people by the content of their character, not by the colour of their skin. that's my opinion. i think the reality is, i can tell you, having met a lot of the candidates and peopl

but now richard tice has ruled out a merger with the tories, so they'll have to wallow in their own mess bit longer, won't they? yesterday they had the chance to elect the new chairman of the backbench 1922 committee, who will decide how the next tory leader is chosen. that went down about as badly as a giggle at a funeral . at a funeral. >> text here from the whips office yesterday, saying the polls would be open from 5 to 6. >> i got there at 545 and i was told the polls had closed because someone had sent out a whatsapp message about an hour earlier. so now the polls are closing at 530. saw bob blackman earlier this evening and i said you must rerun this. there were 23 out of 121 tory mps who didn't vote. >> all right, so here's the latest opinion polls on who tory members want as their next leader. yeah, we can see them on the screen there. kemi badenoch is very much top. we've got suella braverman on 16, tom tugendhat, jeremy hunt, james cleverly, robert jenrick, priti patel and victoria atkins bringing up the rear. but andrew mitchell , who essentially used mitchell, who essentiall
