well, be called theresa may. well, theresa think so. she's theresa may think so. she's warned rishi sunak against reforming modernise slavery laws, that could laws, claiming that it could create other problems. idea create other problems. the idea of rolling back such legislation has been touted by the government as wavering , juicing government as wavering, juicing illegal by those the illegal immigration by those the system . former prime minister system. former prime minister theresa may said the government must safeguard world leading protections for victims of modern slavery. but there's rather a lot to unpack here. ladies and gentlemen, and i'm sure many of you people at home right, have got a view on it gives our gb news get in touch. first things first for me over everything. now we should theresa out. was theresa may bust out. she was former secretary former former home secretary former prime argue prime minister. some would argue not either prime minister. some would argue nothose either prime minister. some would argue nothose two either prime minister.

theresa may's the day anyway.resa may's when the modern when it comes to the modern laws, what's going on in the channel yes. lots unpack this channel yes. lots to unpack this morning in terms of migration, either illegal or legal. but let's focus on the legal side of things in a bit more detail. now we just to recap, as we and just to recap, as you just hearing patrick, just hearing from patrick, theresa that theresa may has warned that tightening modern slavery laws could impact victims . well, the could impact victims. well, the problem is targeting spouse and students in our plan to cut net migration . well, we can speak migration. well, we can speak now to immigration lawyer schuyler mcbath, now warning to scott, i hope you had a very christmas tell us a bit about christmas to tell us a bit about these plans . so the christmas to tell us a bit about these plans. so the home secretary has announced plans to increase the minimum salary threshold for british citizens to be able to bring their spouses or partners

as far as theresa may's course, i may's concerned., i always as a bit always thought of her as a bit of a bit of it was a joke or of a bit of a it was a joke or book.she of a bit of a it was a joke or book. she was going on about the joke and nerd dichotomy, i suppose it is. is this an americanism ? i suppose, but you americanism? i suppose, but you get sort of the more bookish and then the more bolster ish prime minister. so i think she was more of a bookish one. you can't really imagine a coming out with some the locker room talk of some of the locker room talk of the jocks and then locking rishi sunak and ricky sunak nearly almost made up a different name from their i think it was rasheed, sir nick. she wasn't . rasheed, sir nick. she wasn't. he stays cool. that's also my favourite query as well. yeah. i mean , theresa may oh she's mean, theresa may oh she's obviously a poor man's margaret thatcher. i think she went down as i think she'll go down in many people's books as a as that in terms of the migrant crisis, if you're going to

nick timothy, theresa may's former aide published today, the paper written for think tank centre policy studies states that modern slavery brought in by mrs. may when she was home secretary are being on scrupulously abused by albanians. let's speak to the author himself nick timothy thank you very much for coming on the show this i know you've been very busy, nick. now it says that suella braverman welcomed this report . however, welcomed this report. however, she says that she doesn't agree with all of it. do you know which? but she doesn't agree with? i don't i'm afraid she she she says she doesn't agree with every proposal in it. and i think i think we can hazard a guess that the government about to introduce it , which guess that the government about to introduce it, which is one of their proposals . but obviously their proposals. but obviously it's a thing for him secretary to write a foreword in such positive terms for a report that contains policies in this way. so i think what we what we can know is that is that she and the government are a positive about the sense of dir

was a recent prime minister theresa may and theresa may.er initial response to it was that she thought we should have these for the rest of the united kingdom . apparently, united kingdom. apparently, she's a conservative, but we'll be debating in a minute what conservatives actually are. she appears now to backtrack on this, but don't think this is just a scottish political issue because it isn't and the conservatives will not go for it. whatever mrs. may happens to have said . now, the real have said. now, the real question here is will the real keir starmer please stand up? where do you stand on this ? where do you stand on this? because time and again, he's been skewered in interviews when asked to decide what a woman is. he seems to find that incredibly difficult and it's going to be a really big test of . the labour really big test of. the labour leader, whether he decides in a labour manifesto to match what nicholas sturgeon done. there will be many within the parliamentary labour party , many parliamentary labour party, many activis

as theresa may perhaps was intimating that. henry, thank you for your assessment on that .ck to mark who's been at the home office to get a more detailed assessment of what we heard with keir starmer indicate that perhaps these were gimmicks not basically a serious solution . but you will obviously indicating on these five major issues that we've heard quite a bit of that before. what difference and actually making it work in practise . yeah. it work in practise. yeah. i mean, the proof of the pudding is in the eating as the old cliche isn't it. and we will have to wait to see what difference practically speaking this makes in the months ahead. now we're in periods of great uncertainty . and in terms of the uncertainty. and in terms of the weather conditions over the winter months, which mean that the numbers crossing anyway will reduce, which in turn of course takes some of the pressure off the government. but as soon as we get into a period of better weather . and we get into a period of better weather. and traditionally we get into a period of better weather . and tradit

morning there are several new medical schools are about to come on stream that were commissioned by theresa may now. in the autumn statement one of the surprises in the autumn statement from the chancellor was billions of extra pounds for the nhs over the next two years, which people weren't expecting and also borisjohnson�*s signature pledge was tens of thousands of extra nurses. you're making it sound like all of our dreams have been made true! it has not amounted to anything, has it? because if it did you wouldn't be seeing the problem you did today. yes, there are plans for medical schools, it takes a long time to train a medical student to become a doctor and then they have got to go through the training. it's not as simple as that. we need senior decision—makers and it takes years to get that on board. into this dire situation that you paint, then we have the strikes where your colleagues will be walking out and seemingly making a bad situation worse? well, i have to say that the royal college is not a union. we can't comment on terms and conditions, but what i can say is that imagine how

may needs to stop . i think this is theresa stop. this is theresa may she failed in all of her jobs that others who can succeed get on with it. so carry on bringing your views gbviews@gbnews.uk uk and perhaps looking to what this next year will bring us on all the issues of the day . just to update you of the day. just to update you on what's happening in the gb news kitchen as a lot of you get fed up with the leftovers turkey sandwiches because star chef aldo zilli us is joining us in the studio to share all those post—christmas recipe ideas coming up in a moment. it's a tasty treat for you you . now. it's cool, but us. i'm sure that's not a word. anyway, it's the awkward period between christmas and new year few days with the festive leftovers and any remaining treats and a time when yes, turkey and ham sandwiches start get a bit boring. even with the peculiarly . if you've got any of that. but fear. joining us now in the studio to inspire you all with his postcard christmas ideas is star chef and restaurateur aldus alli although v

introduce by theresa may the modern slavery act? it that makes it so difficult for us to remove people? well, and where we also grant almost all the syrian claims we grant almost all afghanistan claims , almost all afghanistan claims, we grant almost all iranian claims. rightly so. i do not know whether or not we are granting more claims in relation to albanians than other countries. israel well, we are. we are , we are. we play by the we are, we are. we play by the rules in the uk and what we do is we address these issues on the basis of whatever the legal merits are. they are rules. they are rules set by the international community in a whole series of conventions. but they basically revolve around. do you have a legitimate fear of persecution? i'm talking about asylum seekers here. every country set their own rules about economic migrants. but in relation to asylum seekers and the albanians, they iranians, the albanians, they iranians, the syrians and the afghans are fear, fear, persecution . fear, fear, persecution. internationa

you know, some might say that theresa may's treble the tories into may's treble got the tories into theheresa the mess in 2019 and theresa may's modern slavery are getting them into trouble . now, a poll them into trouble. now, a poll came yesterday , a 340 came out yesterday, a 340 majority for labour include ding rishi sunak and boris losing their seats. can they possibly salvage victory from , the jaws salvage victory from, the jaws of defeat or do you think it is curtains for the tories? it certainly looks like it's going to be very difficult for the conservatives to win next election. what they have election. but what they do have is potentially from is potentially complacency from labour party. labour seem at the moment very confident. they feel like in the feel like like they're in the feel like the government in they're making announcements as if the government is waiting . keir government is waiting. keir starmer has a spring in his step when he's making announcement, but focusing i think but they're not focusing i think on a lot of the issues that really the public we've seen

interestingly, people used to work for theresa may are saying it is much better to have are saying itneeds to be put on a statutory basis. so a minister. that also needs to be put on a statutory basis.- put on a statutory basis. so you have talked _ put on a statutory basis. so you have talked to _ put on a statutory basis. so you have talked to sir _ put on a statutory basis. so you have talked to sir keir - put on a statutory basis. so you have talked to sir keir starmerl have talked to sir keir starmer about this and it is public knowledge that he will have an independent adviser if he becomes prime minister and that is still a long way to go before that but if he becomes prime minister, he will have an independent head of ethics that will be able to launch an investigation into potential wrongdoing?— investigation into potential wronaudoin? ., ., , wrongdoing? you are terrifying me that i wrongdoing? you are terrifying me that i might _ wrongdoing? you are terrifying me that i might have _ wrongdoing? you are terrifying me that i might have said _ wrongdoing? you are terrifying me

bofis so that theresa may had to go. in pledging he would get brexit done and the general election was fought on that. now that only happened because sufficient pressure was put on the conservatives to know that if they did not get brexit done , then they were actually going to lose support from their own members. so influence, yes , make members. so influence, yes, make any impact electorally . now, any impact electorally. now, could this rivalry from smaller right wing parties backfire and hand the keys of number ten? and to keir starmer , particularly in to keir starmer, particularly in those red walls seats? well i think, as i say, a general election , people aren't going to election, people aren't going to vote for the smaller parties because they left or right or anything else. they're going to make choice between the two make a choice between the two big parties. but we've got to use if all that and in the course of two years, we've course of that two years, we've got election, we've got got local election, we've

but today's proposals from the centre for policy studies by theresa may's, former downing street chieff staff, nick timothy , are a staff, nick timothy, are a significant hint that this tory government might finally be starting to understand that only dramatic action has any hope of tempering this clear and present danger before the next election. the report has been at least partially endorsed by the home secretary suella braverman a decision believed to have been approved by the prime minister, rishi sunak, who was so far naively relying on emmanuel macron and france to solve this crisis for him . so the key crisis for him. so the key suggestions are for entire nationalities to be banned from using the modern slavery act to stay in britain. when there is proof the law is being unscrupulously abused, currently there is an abundance of evidence that such abuse is being used by albanians to stay in the uk in perpetuity , housed in the uk in perpetuity, housed in the uk in perpetuity, housed in four star hotels by the way, paid for by you and me while their claims are held up in the syst

boris and then may entrusting then theresa may entrusting that. surprised, that.eople jacob daniel, about people like jacob supporting truss in the leadership election? i mean we did put it to him but you know, liz truss was she was against the she former the monarchy. she was a former lib campaigned remain lib dem, she campaigned remain in referendum . he seemed an in the referendum. he seemed an unlikely person people like unlikely person for. people like jacob rees—mogg support jacob rees—mogg to support and in leadership contest . well in a leadership contest. well i actually voted for truss did actually voted for liz truss did so television i'm sitting at so on television i'm sitting at this desk on an edition of dewbs & co and i brought my ballot paper and every comma everyone could see. i bet the liz truss was it a mistake ? no, no, no, was it a mistake? no, no, no, no. i think it was right. and liz truss was never properly given a chance and principal say by conservative mps who didn't like the result that the members and the rules had foisted on them. so

david cameron, theresa may boris johnson. liz truss. what did any of them achieve?ir achieved. okay. well, i think david cameron allowing a referendum for brexit was a fantastic thing that pass. well nigel farage 100% achieved that but it was only the conservative party put it in the manifesto and delivered on it. remember the days they actually delivered on it that we were able to get out of this sort corrupt, eu evolving empire of thing. so that was great and they did get brexit over the line. i know it was a bit of a dog's dinner deal was a bit of a dog's dinner deal. so will credit boris with that and there are things to be excited about hopeful for. excited about and hopeful for. but not. they had the time but i'm not. they had the time to do. think let to do. i think they've let country down themselves down that, class that, infighting, whole class down, the whole closed down. i know this is another thing in ritchie's is he going to ritchie's in—tray is he going to be able to hold the party be able to hold the tory party together going to be together and is he

course, was barwell, who of course, was there very in number ten there very close in number ten to theresa maye the very damaged barriers to trade have introduced trade we have introduced with our so it is our nearest neighbours. so it is happening absolutely global. well, course was one of the well, of course was one of the reasons took so to get a reasons it took so to long get a proper brexit deal that actually involved leaving the eu. final quick thought, david, if i may , quick thought, david, if i may, in 2019, when boris johnson went to the country with what was basically the brexit party line , did they really believe in it ? i think a lot of them did. a lot of the mps. i actually think bofis lot of the mps. i actually think boris johnson did to a certain degree, maybe not as in a deep seated way that you and i believe it. but i think did believe it. but i think did believe in it . believe it. but i think did believe in it. i think the pandemic and the whole going down the rabbit hole on that really derailed the whole process and when that came out of it , it was kind of like of it, it

yes, well, rishi sunak has been warned by ex prime minister theresa may remember her not to water downto make it harder to claim asylum . the uk. harder to claim asylum. the uk. but with the number of cross—channel migrants hitting nearly 46,000. should the pm stick to the plan ? well it comes stick to the plan? well it comes as the home secretary suella braverman is drawing

course, was barwell, who of course, was there very in number ten there very close in number ten to theresa maye the very damaged barriers to trade have introduced trade we have introduced with our so it is our nearest neighbours. so it is happening absolutely global. well, course was one of the well, of course was one of the reasons took so to get a reasons it took so to long get a proper brexit deal that actually involved leaving the eu. final quick thought, david, if i may , quick thought, david, if i may, in 2019, when boris johnson went to the country with what was basically the brexit party line , did they really believe in it ? i think a lot of them did. a lot of the mps. i actually think bofis lot of the mps. i actually think boris johnson did to a certain degree, maybe not as in a deep seated way that you and i believe it. but i think did believe it. but i think did believe in it . believe it. but i think did believe in it. i think the pandemic and the whole going down the rabbit hole on that really derailed the whole process and when that came out of it , it was kind of like of it, it

theresa may... you want to water that down? claims. we want to focus our attention on those who really need our help, and that's what our reforms will do. we can speak to tony smith — former director general of the uk border force, now a global border security consultant. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. what's your view of how effective the measures announced today will really be? i effective the measures announced today will really be?— effective the measures announced today will really be? i think what's heartenin: today will really be? i think what's heartening is _ today will really be? i think what's heartening is we _ today will really be? i think what's heartening is we are _ today will really be? i think what's heartening is we are hearing - today will really be? i think what's heartening is we are hearing nowl today will really be? i think what's i heartening is we are hearing now the prime minister and the home secretary talk about international collaboration on human smuggling and human trafficking. he

you remember theresa may situation. may in a similar situation. yeah. hated, yeah. so less.y know, she obviously yes. you know, she cried. it was quite. now, if you see historically that piece of video, he smashed it. video, it's like he smashed it. i every comedian i i smashed every comedian and i take i was like, am i saying this is always the point at which even the most hated prime ministers can look human? yeah. remember thatcher remember margaret thatcher into the saw her crying the car and you saw her crying for time in her life, for the first time in her life, i think. and it's just interesting that really interesting that it really humanised because all of these political crazy tragedy that no regret, no remorse, nothing from him nothing. i there was him was nothing. i there was a touching moment with carrie, like baby, although the like with the baby, although the baby cute . was baby is quite cute. it was it roma very sweet. although it was quite touching moment. i thought maybe he'll soften maybe he'll do something and was it was nothing and i thought just wasted

james johnson, the co—founder of jl partners and former opinion research and strategy adviser to theresa mayt a huge that forjoining us. not a huge that labour held onto chester , was labour held onto chester, was it? no wasn't. i mean, this is a seat the conservatives. there's only one once over the last two years. it's a seat that they didn't win even when they won the majority just three years ago. so it's not a seat the conservatives need to win. obviously, what it does show us is that conservatives more unpopular now than they were in 2019. well, what do you do from the polls? i think got to be cautious about reading too much into this one, sort of quite isolated by—election. yeah i think that's probably right. but it comes off the back of a number by elections. as i was saying in my introduction this yeah saying in my introduction this year. and it has been a very difficult time for the conservative party with three prime ministers within couple of weeks and. what do you make of the polls that are saying concern of voters are looking to reform uk as a as another vehicle to move the lev

theresa may reduced the number of arrests on the beat and that trend is now being reversed, i think,me that the crimes , no matter how low the crimes, no matter how low the crimes, no matter how low the other financial impact, can have a disastrous impact on individuals lives. i'm thinking particularly of , you know, an particularly of, you know, an elderly person who gets the handbag stolen or a burglary in someone's home, even it may even be someone's home, even it may even b e £500 worth of stuff nicked. be £500 worth of stuff nicked. actually, person's to actually, that person's going to feel and have feel violated and have severe mental health difficulties . so, feel violated and have severe merknow,alth difficulties . so, feel violated and have severe mer know, i.th difficulties . so, feel violated and have severe merknow, i would culties . so, feel violated and have severe merknow, i would veryas . so, feel violated and have severe merknow, i would very much , feel violated and have severe merknow, i would very much like you know, i would very much like the police to stop doin

theresa may, lord barwell. good to see you this morning.see high profile people like sajid javid throwing in the towel ? i think it's a bit of towel? i think it's a bit of both. i don't think it's a surprise and as you were just implying, i suspect we're going to see more senior conservative meps making the same announcement over the next 6 to 12 months or so. but it isn't great for politics. he still relatively young and i think would have could have had a sort of significant contribution that he could have made. it reflects i think, two things. first, the reality that most conservative mp, i don't think they're going to win the next election. so being in opposition is not as attractive a prospect. and secondly , politics has been secondly, politics has been incredibly turbulent . and as you incredibly turbulent. and as you will have noticed over the last few years, and i think some people are just, you know, they're exhausted with it and want to do something different. i guess it's not surprising after 12 years of the tories being in powe

theresa may was the last one to do so . remember, last one to do so. remember, tony blair removed .ony blair removed. i mean, the house of lords used to have over a thousand members. tony blair removed the hereditary peers, all bar 92 of them and then filled it all up with his mates . that's why he was creating so well. this is the thing. this is the allegation of corruption. no, no, no. i didn't say that. i didn't say that there was an investigation of potentially selling peerages into tony blair. was cleared. i'm not blair. he was cleared. i'm not suggesting it's the suggesting corruption. it's the corruption involves selling an office that's a crime. but how to sell a peerage is a crime in this country. and i'm not suggesting that that is happening a or any prime minister has done that , but it's minister has done that, but it's a question of putting in, you know, filling up people who are like minded with you, which is why we have such a left wing house of at the moment. house of lords at the moment. people think house people probably think the house of of crusty old of lords is

nick timothy, who used to advise theresa may, advocates barring people who arrive in small boats crossingan run through how your proposals differ from what is already happening and what you want to see. is already happening and what you want to see-— want to see. thank you and hello. our want to see. thank you and hello. 0ur report — want to see. thank you and hello. 0ur report has _ want to see. thank you and hello. our report has 41— want to see. thank you and hello. i our report has 41 recommendations, including some quite significant things like the introduction of id cards and reforms to the modern slavery act. but at its heart what we are proposing is a kind of reversal of the way the asylum system works at the moment. we are proposing the creation of dedicated resettlement routes to bring people over to the country safely and legally. we think there should be a cap on those numbers. in a normal year that should probably be 20,000 but parliament would be free to change it if there was a particular crisis we were responding to. and for people who arrive in the country illegally we sh

so boris johnson promised to get 20,000 new coppers to make up for what theresa may took away.the recruits are falling away. why that? well, that's. i'm embarrassed they to feature in headune embarrassed they to feature in headline it's the pharisees fault so nearly 2000. so nearly 10% of dropped out but the reasons given are that it's too hard these are grabbed you it's all well to. no no you don't have to enter as a graduate you can join the police you do have to have they do equivalent of a degree course in tandem to doing practical policing . what is it practical policing. what is it the paperwork that's putting them off all the beat work it says it's some chief constables i've suggested that too many people have the police force in recent years with unrealistic expectations , including of the expectations, including of the job, including the requirement to work antisocial i was in deal with come. you're a copper. then why did they join? only one of them only lasted six months set several new recruits highlighted to juggle academic learning on top of police training. they w

. irate the premiership of theresa may.is strike mean to you? it” are a number of issues at play. pay and conditions is certainly one of them. we have had real terms loss of pay over extended periods but i think more importantly, it is about raising awareness to the fact we are working on a medical system that has collapsed and we are unable to provide emergency medical care because of the amount of time we are spending stick outside hospitals that are simple to full to receive the patients that we have brought. we are in a situation where we need people to become aware of that. the action we are taking today is allowing us actually to provide a better response to immediately respond to emergencies than we would be able to. . respond to emergencies than we would be able to. , . ., , ., be able to. there is an irony for some people — be able to. there is an irony for some people that _ be able to. there is an irony for some people that you - be able to. there is an irony for some people that you are - be able to. there is an
