robert >> absolutely. in fact, robert jenrick, i declare an interest. i'm supporting robert for the leadership. he last couple of hours has come out and called for a vote. now. now, fortunately, on tuesday we have what's called an opposition day debate in parliament, where the opposition can choose the motion, the subject for debate and the motion to be voted on. and robert has said we, the conservatives, if we're going to be an effective opposition , be an effective opposition, should use that debate on tuesday to debate this and then force them to vote on it. it is outrageous that with the house coming back on monday anyway, they they the government chose to announce this when the house wasn't sitting quite deliberately. the speaker privately must be going completely bananas about it. >> well, i suspect because. because. because one of the excuses that was made was that, well, the it's the general election in mauritius tomorrow. so hang on a minute. have we now got a labour government that appears to care more about the political process in mauritius than it does about in our own country? can

of tonight, because i thought he did a flawless performance today at popcon, was robert jenrick , at popcon, was robertnrick, and i think he's the one that is closest to me to what i felt like under thatcher. okay. and so i think we're in a good place if we end up with robert jenrick. you're a great thatcherite. >> you've written a book which has been extremely well reviewed. thank you . i'm hoping reviewed. thank you. i'm hoping you're going to come back on to talk to me about it. on my book club. just a taster, just an introduction. what is the key reason we should read it ? reason we should read it? >> so what i've tried to do is obviously talk about my early years in iraq. i came here as an 11 year old boy without a word of english. i ended up living in 11 downing street as the second lord of the treasury . but i also lord of the treasury. but i also what i try and do is demystify politics to make sure more people join our party and enter politics, but also say that there are no superhumans in politics. i talk about boris and what a consequential prime minister he was . what a consequential prime m

yesterday for her comments about maternity pay, today it was the turn of her rival robert jenrick, who was unden rival robertck, who was under, in my view , unfair under, in my view, unfair criticism for claiming that the sza quotes not killing, sorry are killing and not capturing to prevent the echr judges from setting terror suspects free. speaking to gb news political editor christopher hope , robert editor christopher hope, robert jenrick defended his comments. >> i don't want our human rights apparatus to be standing in the way of taking the right operational decisions for our national security and for protecting the lives of the brave men and women who serve in our special forces. >> there's all this confected outrage here now about what he's had to say. let's have a look at the receipts, shall we? back in september 2023, the former defence secretary, ben wallace , defence secretary, ben wallace, said the exact same thing. he said the exact same thing. he said that human rights laws, including the echr, have become a serious risk to national security. the thwarting efforts to stop terrorists in fact, t

robert jenrick. norman. norman baker. james cleverly robert jenrick. you didn't press the buzzer. whatever you say. oved his speech, and in fact, some people think that he could potentially have won it on that. question two true or false? 1 in 50 albanian people living in the uk end up in prison. true. adam brooks. it's true. norman b true. it's true. he says it is. it is true. but you could have tried false just in case he was wrong. yes. 1 in 50 albanian people living in the uk end up in prison, right? closest answer wins. how much money did sir keir starmer give back this week? i have started, so i'm finished to cover the cost of taylor swift tickets and his designer clothing that he was previously gifted. >> 6000, 6000, 6000. >> the answer is it was £6,000. a lot of money to most of us, adam, i think. i don't think norman can win now. have you won three already? >> i got the first one right. oh, it's two one. >> it's two one. it's not over. all right, so yes or no? don't you dare. yes or no? someone's made that up. right. hugh grant said that the next bridget jones film is very, very happy. no,

conservative leadership election, with kemi badenoch and robert jenrick making it through to the members vote. kemi badenoch received 42 votes. robert jenrick picked up 41 and james cleverly received 37, meaning he has now been eliminated from the race. in a tweet, cleverly has thanked his colleagues , party members and colleagues, party members and the public for their support. gb news political editor christopher hope spoke to robert jenrick earlier on. >> i have a very specific plan as to how we do that, whether it's improving the nhs, getting growth, going again in our economy or yes, securing our borders. i do not believe in platitudes. i want us to have a serious plan now as to how we move forward and get this party back into gear for the good of our country. >> well, jenrick's rival kemi badenoch had this to say a short while later . while later. >> it doesn't matter. people are heanng >> it doesn't matter. people are hearing what i'm saying, and they think my approach is right, that you start with principles first and then policy. we need to unite behind a real conservatism. that means something to the country. >> and you ca

i want to ask you about this because as we said, robert jenrick is aping this suggestion. you've got people like robert look weird. this isn't workable. if weird. this isn't workable. if we walked away from the echr we would lose the right to privacy. homosexuality protections that was decriminalised in northern ireland, phone hacking was made illegal and employers could no longer read employees emails. >> we are no come on, come on, just finish the point. >> come on. these are the benefits of the echr. if we walked away, would we not lose those as well? >> we have. we've had something called magna carta. it's been knocking around for 800 years. it was the essential blueprint for individual liberty. it stopped the state chucking you in jail without charge. it gave us the most extraordinary rights. i mean, america, you know, when america was founded, they thought, well, look at what they thought, well, look at what the brits have done. >> well, the magna carta didn't stop. don't need being sent to jail in northern ireland. but the echr don't need a political court based in strasbourg to tell us anything

we don't know if it's going to be james cleverly robert jenrick , kemi badenoch. robertthat this afternoon at 330, won't we? but certainly i think that rishi sunak should take a bit of pleasure from this goodness. it was hard being prime minister for him. but look at the poll ratings now. sir keir starmer came in and his popularity ratings have fallen through the floor, frankly. and yesterday there was a poll that put labour only 1% in front of the conservatives. >> what happened to the honeymoon ? catherine turned into honeymoon? catherine turned into a nightmare . a nightmare. >> yeah, there wasn't much honeymoon, was there? i think, i suppose very briefly, maybe. and the handling of the riots. but it went downhill pretty quickly after that, didn't it? because they didn't seem to get a grip on the donor scandals. they've just gone on and on and on. this grid of announcements that they should sort of control what we're all talking about by making lots of announcements, getting us talking about things has felt to be really, really very absent. and we've got the budget lo

robert is it? certainly. and robert jenrick and other conservatives have leapt onto this. roberthis is a government in freefall now. sure, plenty of other administrations have had problems. we had the bernie ecclestone scandal not far into tony blair's administration, and then there was the other chief of staff, very controversial dominic cummings. under boris johnson. and when they become the story, the chief of staff, dominic cummings, in that case, sue gray in keir starmer's case, this is not good news. but of course, in the case of dominic cummings, it all took rather longer. so number 10, the prime minister will now be hoping that with sue gray out of the picture in number 10, with simon case going shortly and with more morgan mcsweeney stepping up that they can get things back in track. i think some of the criticism apart from many people saying that sue gray was a control freak who sort of controlled access to the prime minister, was that simply, she wasn't political enough. she'd come from whitehall, she'd come from the civil service things that many people might have tho

roberts too got this message. roberts too much information. jenrick and kemi not enough information badenoch. so the membership must either choose a set of policy ideas. by the way, do you think robertthat he's leaving the echr? d0 every morning that he's leaving the echr? do you think he's like, yeah, i'll have milk and two sugars please? by the way , two sugars please? by the way, we're leaving the echr. that is a decision. i've got an immigration lock anyway. that's what he's got. or do they bet the house on a compelling personality in kemi, who they hope will deliver without having seen any of the workings , seen any of the workings, without due diligence or without looking at the books . an act of looking at the books. an act of intellectual calculation versus an act of faith. the tories need them both as leader, really, because they do different things which are complementary. watching the debate on gb news last night, i was thinking, can't they be a double act? a political anton du beke, a duo who are unimaginable apart? well, that was my thursday night takeaway. reem ibrahim what do you think ? who won last night? you think? who won last night? >> so i would say, i think tha
