and reform is kind of new because it's not exactly the same as the brexit party or ukip. a back catalogue of data to draw on, they have to use theirjudgment even more, which just reinforces this whole thing about the point of these opinion polls is they're snapshots that then can affect the behaviour of everyone else, which then can influence the outcome. well, that's right. and there are some tories who might hope actually that this crossover moment might panic some of their traditional voters to think, "0h, actually, actually, i'm not really going to do it. actually, i don't really want to vote for anybody other than the conservatives. i am cross with them, but i'm not going to put a cross anywhere else in the ballot". but it is both a problem now for the conservatives in the number of votes that they appear to be leaching to reform. but it's also a return of the classic problem for the tories of how do they deal with the rightward flank of their movement? and nigel farage has been taunting them over that dilemma for decades. you know, he was a career politician. he's b

clacton is the only seat won in a general election by ukip mp.me that was douglas carswell. so it all roads are leading towards one conclusion. but we don't know yet till 4:00. >> but you will be there live at the scene at 4:00. you'll have that announcement info and you'll grab an interview with the man himself. chris, don't go anywhere. i'll come back to you in a moment. and as speculation grows at nigel, farage will do an about turn and announce he is going to stand in the upcoming general election . prime minister general election. prime minister rishi sunak has reiterated his stance that a vote for anyone other than a conservative will help sir keir starmer get the keys to number 10. >> at the end of the day on july 5th, one of two people will be prime minister either keir starmer or me. a vote for anyone who's not a conservative candidate is just a vote to put keir starmer in number 10. so if you're someone who cares about tackling migration, both the boats and legal migration, if you're someone who wants a more proportional, pragmatic appr

and when ukip, the party that he previously led, one of the forerunners of reform uk, was kind of riding because if he doesn't win on the eighth attempt at this point, i mean, that doesn't look good for him. and there's also the question about how much he can dedicate to campaigning across the country when he's attempting to win a constituency seat. and there is also a third question about the fact we do rightly say — and chris has pointed this out — he's been an influential figure in british politics, that it goes without any doubt, and there are very nervous conservatives, and there is a possibility it does have a significant impact on the conservative vote. but you also have to remember nigel farage is a hugely divisive figure, and so, as much as this might galvanise support, it could also galvanise opposition to this party, because he does divide opinion. so i think there are risks here, as well. i've been slithering all afternoon — a good scottish word for not being able to make up your mind — about whether this is a strength move or a weakness move by nigel farage. i mean, he even

arron banks in ukip itself.d it. >> and the he was trying to say to nigel, look, it's there on a plate and the point. >> but the interesting point there was they pulled two questions. yes. the first questions. yes. the first question was just the generic tory labour reform. reform came third. then they pulled the question of nigel as a candidate and he wins and he wins by 12 points. >> and it was a big win. that was that was all part of the effort. behind the scenes. arron banks was trying to get farage to stand back again and in parliament, i suppose, i think i mean, i think what's interesting is, is that the other parties, they they have a lot of different ways of, of winning is, is they use the media, they use social media. >> and then they have they have the people out there knocking, knocking, knocking. and what nigel farage is, is, is aiming to do is to do it through basically through the media. and actually, i mean , well, but actually, i mean, well, but people like you are going to send him out . clacton

won the ukip, euro elections in 2014, where i directed the ukip campaign .esults. i'm satisfied with the results. i mean, the problem is that the first past the post system works reasonably well. if you've got a 2 or 3 party system where the system is fractured and splintered in the way that it's now become with the parties in scotland and wales and northern ireland and with with the reform as well as the lib dems, the greens and so on. it simply doesn't work because it produces randomised results and you can't predict the way that the seats are going to fall just by percentage of the vote that you get. you know, ukip got, as i say, 12, 13% in 2015 and got one seat out of six. you know, this is a completely insupportable system given the way that our electoral arithmetic has come to operate. okay, compared with when i was growing up. >> okay. so i've got to go to the news, but i'm going to ask you all then this question i want a yes or no is a massive majority undemocratic emma woolf no , matthew stadlen not going to no, matthew stadlen not going to happen.

i was a founder of ukip back in 1992.e along some months later and, you know, i'm a chartered chartered tax adviser, a professional standing come 2005, i'm afraid just once too often we'd had some weird people come along to ukip, and i was worried about my own professional reputation, and that really went over the edge with me and why i left and went back to the conservatives. was there a couple of the meps were in prison for fraud, and i thought, you know what? enough's enough. this was meant to be a clean start in british politics. now you know, i will speak as i find and i know nigel for a long time. he is not a racist man. so this is this comes up every election when nigel puts his head up, that, you know, is there racism and the undercurrent of reform. but the truth is, you often get people and some of their candidates have been found out to be a little bit strange, who have tried everywhere else. and they then go to the new party, the new kids on the block, and we're seeing it again with the reform party. we see it

. >> and this fellow andrew parker, whatever his name was, is not a member of ukip, not ukip reform,fact, you can't join reform, as such, you can't get a membership of the party, even if you send them any money. so, of course, it's embarrassing for reform uk that they have somebody, speaking in that way who is campaigning for them. but they nobody applies to be a campaigner for a political party. and if you look into the labour party or the tory party, you'll find cranks and misfits who are campaigning for them, knocking on doors and so on as well. in fact, you have to be a bit of a crank or a misfit to campaign for the tory party at all these days, don't you ? but, all these days, don't you? but, you know, we had all these problems in ukip as well. i don't think it matters very much at all. he's been disowned and, that's that . yes. they've that's that. yes. they've discovered they've got a few candidates who have also said disgraceful or unacceptable things . but, disgraceful or unacceptable things. but, you know, this is an insurgent party which has mushroomed up from nowhere in a

so there pemberton, from ukip. so there you go.e, that's what i like about gb news because, everyone talks about spin rooms, this and battle rooms that and battle buses that . but actually, battle buses that. but actually, who knows what goes on in those places. it's nice, isn't it, to get behind the scenes. look, we've got just a few hours to go until, registrations for, voting close. so 23, 59, to be precise. everyone, how do you think we can galvanise more people to register to vote? >> sean, i think there's three things to say. firstly, we've got to teach that voting is important. >> hang on. if you're wanting to do it by the way, you can get your smartphones out now. open up your smartphones out now. open up your camera and take a picture of the qr code on the screen, and that will take you to the place where you need to be registering. >> sorry sherm, as i was saying, the first thing is we've got to teach that voting is important. people died for this, right? in 1918, they did the representation of people act and they let alm

okay, andrew pemberton, ukip.ten, we've talked a lot about reform and a bit about the conservatives, but is it the worst nightmare of the right for labour to win the election? on the 4th of july? keir starmer is prime minister on the fifth and they do a brilliant job. >> well, i think what is going to happen is that we're going to see interest rates cut, which will come across as a very good thing. thanks to party, not thanks to labour. it was already going to happen if, if, if it's going to happen if, if, if it's going to happen under a labour government . if. yeah, but it's government. if. yeah, but it's not as the bank of england is independent. mark you know that immigration to do with them legal what's going to happen illegal illegal immigration will probably go down because the weather will get worse thanks to probably not thanks to labour. it's going to happen anyway. when it happens. well, this is the thing, mark. there are loads of there are loads of parameters which sunak interest rates are probably goin

i'll speak to former ukip leader henry bolton.itv presenter tom bradby said there aren't many white male anchors left and his woke colleagues apparently want him to be censored. so should be reprimanded? ken haynes goes head with former aide to good evening. if you just tuned in. welcome on board. this is gb news. we are britain's election channel. this is patrick christys tonight with me. nana akua coming up. are the tories right that a labour government would make the migrant crisis worse? but first, should itv news presenter tom bradby be censored for his comment about white male anchors? it's time now to go head to head. yes, itv news presenter tom bradby is under for fire comments that he made in a recent interview with the radio times when he asked what he was asked. when asked how he felt about being seen as pale, male and stale in the industry, bradby said there aren't many white male anchors left. dare i say so ? i feel left. dare i say so? i feel a bit less nervous about that than possibly i should. three colleagues have

however, when ukip common sense.n ukip said it and the conservative party said it, and even gordon brown back in the day said it, they were accused of being racist. so how comes when yvette cooper says it , scarlett, it's cooper says it, scarlett, it's not racist. it's fine. >> it's common sense, as you say. gordon brown did say it. >> he did say he did say it. stick for it. >> and, and so what he's actually talking about seriously , is, is about skills. because what we don't do at the moment is we don't train people. i mean, i was reading an article about, apprenticeships and what's so terrible about them is that people call them apprentice , so the bad bosses can can pick up the money. they these people are not paid even the minimum wage , and they're certainly not wage, and they're certainly not trained. and what we need to do , trained. and what we need to do, we do need to skill people up. i mean, it is ridiculous that, i mean, it is ridiculous that, i mean, we steal nurses from places like the philippines. if y

i began to feel guilty about it, and that people's army that i'd built up in the ukip days, the referendums, millions of people who've been with me for a long, long time were feeling that i was letting them down. and that feeling of guilt made me think, you know what? i can't just leave them on their own. >> how much of an influence has trump's conviction last week had on your decision making? so what, are you just dumping the whole america project now? no. what are you going to do then? how are you going to. because you said you didn't have time to campaign nationally and locally. no. now you're saying you've got time to be leader, i said, and a candidate for clacton and campaign for trump in some way. >> well, you didn't read the thing i put out. i said i would do my bit in the general election campaign and then spend more time in america. clearly >> well, how does that help the constituents of clacton? >> well, clearly, if i'm elected for clacton, i will not be able to spend the amount of time in america that i previously were, but i still will. so it's all. it's all about proportion. >

i mean, i was a ukip candidate once. people used to say that i campaigned to leave the eu.now, the really important thing is to understand what's driving this. and i think it is a feeling that people have that you know, maybe globalisation has gone too far, that they don't have control, that they don't have control, that they don't have control, that they keep electing governments and they can't get anything done because everything is decided by the european union or somewhere else. and there's a feeling that we've just lost some of that accountability and a feeling as well, that they think their country should make things and do things and actually produce things, and a feeling that we're too reliant on other states. and often, as we're discovering the states that are not particularly, reliable to, to, to, to be trusting. so i think there's a, there's a sort of irrational tendency there, which is a yearning for more national resilience. and that's, that's not really , there's nothing far not really, there's nothing far right about that. that's a natural reaction for people

in fact, the only seat won by a ukip mp when he was leader. of course, nigel farage.in the day, he announced that he announced that richard tice is standing aside. he'll become chairman. farage is now the leader and the leader. he says for five years. he says that the reform uk party can be the biggest party in parliament by 2029. he says the election is oven by 2029. he says the election is over. michelle, he says it's happened, it's gone , been and happened, it's gone, been and gone, labour has won a massive supermajority. he's talking there about the sky news mrp poll. this is a poll of 60,000 people between, the end of may and early june. they are finding that labour have 422 mps after the election against the tories, 140, lib dems 48 and reform a big fat zero. that's a majority of 194. that's more than the blair majority that we saw back in 1997. so clearly. and that supports an mrp poll that gb news, was able to talk report on and announced on friday night, that that gave the labour party a much bigger majority . but even a much bigger majority. but even so we a

the former ukip and brexit party leader said he had changed his mind after spending time on the campaigndn't want to let his supporters down. you're live with bbc news. the united states said on monday it's asking the united nations security council to adopt a resolution backing the proposal to end the fighting in gaza. it comes as g7 leaders released a statement saying they "fully endorse and will stand behind" the comprehensive plan and called on hamas to accept it. the three—part proposal would begin with a six—week ceasefire, there would also be a surge in aid, and an exchange of some hostages held by hamas for palestinian prisoners held by israel. although the plan has been met with opposition from hardline members of the israeli government, the us state department outlined how important the proposal is for the country's safety. the israeli military says four men taken hostage by hamas on october 7th have died in captivity, and that their bodies are held by hamas. the idf identified the men as chaim peri, yoram metzger, amiram cooper and nadav popplewell. the army believes they were

a ukip mp at a general election. that was douglas carswell in 2015.reasons behind his defection from the conservatives to ukip in 2014 was he was shown a list internally at cchq of all of the seats in the country most favourable to ukip. clacton was top right, but of course there's south thanet as well, where nigel farage stood in 2015. he lost, of course, to craig mckinley , who's now standing mckinley, who's now standing down. but of course labour is strong in that area as well, so that might be why he might not go for south thanet . the other go for south thanet. the other option, hartlepool. well that's interesting. now that's where richard tice stood in 2019. it's currently a tory seat but labour richard tice move away from it. >> well boston he's gone to boston and skegness, another demographically very favourable seats towards reform uk. >> one of the highest brexit votes in the country there. but hartlepool is an interesting one because if you want to come through as a third party, you need two other parties to have a reasonably strong base. i
