the ukip fox has been shot.tually what cameron did was, was legitimise a position that ukip had that was considered beyond the pale overnight. what we stood for became respectable and in a sense, what generic is doing on leaving echr is making the position that i've put out there kind of a bit more respectable. this will be jake , the sixth this will be jake, the sixth leader since 2016. i'm struggling to keep up. >> i don't know about you, nigel. >> how many housing ministers there ? there? >> it's. it's almost like the worst days of the of the ukip party, isn't it? >> well, yes, but i think by the time that happened, they probably. >> you were well out. you were. well, they'd probably served their purpose. >> the point i'm making is it doesn't really matter who the next leader is. it doesn't really matter what the new set of policies are. isn't the truth of policies are. isn't the truth of it that for now and for some years to come, that the conservative brand is broken, that those people that voted for it in

that's the one i wrote for ukip in 2015.nly one that's ever been a manifesto, only honest manifesto, only honest manifesto, ever , i didn't think. manifesto, ever, i didn't think. >> however, none of this is as bad as that. the absolute shower that was the last tory administration, sir michael. >> well, you have to say that, don't you , for ofcom, i don't don't you, for ofcom, i don't think. well, i'll say as well. well i don't well, yes, you should ask him to the public. >> the public took that view. they chucked your lot out. >> well, we'd been in office for some 14 years and i think, you know, we were tired, quite frankly. but, you know, it's to easy say, of course, labour has been a complete shambles. but it's not just the three of us saying it. i've got some amazing the latest stats is that the net approval rating for this government now is —39%. just three months in, which compares with 68% when it was tony blair and 57% of labour supporters apparently now disapprove of policy which the government is doing. and you kno

it's almost like the worst days of the of the ukip party, isn't it?think by the time that happened, they probably. >> you were well out. you were. well, they'd probably served their purpose. >> the point i'm making is it doesn't really matter who the next leader is. it doesn't really matter what the new set of policies are. isn't the truth of policies are. isn't the truth of it that for now and for some years to come, that the conservative brand is broken, that those people that voted for it in 2019, of the 50% that left, most of them actually feel betrayed by the conservative party and loathe it. the brand is now the problem. >> absolutely. at the moment, it's absolutely the problem. five years is a long time in politics, and there is the opportunity for whoever the next leader is, and i hope they do, to rebuild that brand. one of the challenges with the leadership election, you sort of heard it from quite a lot of the candidates, is their message is, well, actually the problem with the election is we didn't shout loud enough. well, in fact, the to k

thank you very much for joining me ukip leader henry bolton.rday afternoon. but before we get into today's stories, sam france has just run into the studio to give you those news headlines . those news headlines. >> dawn, thank you very much indeed. and good afternoon to you. it'sjust indeed. and good afternoon to you. it's just after 2:00. we will start by returning to that news coming to us from central london this hour. the police are now attempting to remove pro—palestinian protesters who have flooded into russell square in the capital for a major demonstration , marking, of demonstration, marking, of course, the anniversary of the 7th of october attacks in israel. live pictures here for you, as hundreds more have already been blocking tottenham court road. while earlier around 1000 were seen marching from bedford square, targeting, as dawn mentioned, companies like barclays and the british museum. we saw one sign reading and i quote shame on those who looked away from the sadistic genocide of children children in gaza. the demonstration is

former ukip leader henry bolton and the human rights lawyer shoaib khan. great.ou very much. coming up, phillip schofield's made his tv comeback. and can you believe this? he has played the pity card. it was an unwise and unprofessional thing to do . and unprofessional thing to do. >> i'm be forever sorry. >> i'm be forever sorry. >> yeah. so does anyone actually really feel sorry for him? that's what i'll be asking . the that's what i'll be asking. the crisis manager and experienced pr expert edward karam. james, when he joins me very soon, but yes, we are also going to be doing a heck of a lot of talking about what on earth is going on here in britain. kemi badenoch picked up, she said that some cultures are less valid than others, so we're going to be talking about all of that. i'm also going to be talking a lot as well, about what the domestic terror threat is like here. why? well, the person who is believed to have radicalised the manchester arena bomber is about to walk free, despite the parole board saying that he still poses what is going on with all this

and this is now a much broader party than ukip. it's not a one issue party.nomy. it's looking crucially at net zero. and the tory party needs to get a new policy on net zero, because that's making the country cold and poor and people voting for reform who were tories, recognise that. >> is there a risk here that because obviously, looking at the economics of it, there are lots of questions one can ask about net zero? it's hugely popular in the country. when you pull the idea of net zero, it is very, very popular. one of the one of the analysis perhaps, is that the, the idea that rishi sunak was going against some elements of it might have lost some votes is there is there an issue with focusing too much on the 4 million people that voted for reform, but not the 3.5 million who voted for the lib dems or the more than 10 million who voted for labour, or the biggest group of all those who didn't vote at all. >> well, we lost 4 million votes to reform. we lost 2.3 million votes. who didn't vote, who had been conservative, about 700,000 who went to lib dems, labou

but do you think do you trust that reform won't end up like ukip?n by that is factionalism arguing with each other? yeah, i think so. >> i mean, the whole point of bringing on zaheer yousaf as the chairman is really to manage a lot of this , manage the lot of this, manage the discipline of the party fundraising. the basically he's ceo of reform inc, if you like. and that's the point of his job. but you're right. yeah they need to do they need to do really well in these locals to prove they've maintained that momentum. i think they will. i mean, you know, i do think the energy is there. the conference reflects that. yeah , time will reflects that. yeah, time will tell. but ultimately the problem is does just keep the right fractured. and they're they're therefore under first past the post actually keep labour in power. but i'm not commenting on you know what i think which fine whatever. that's just the reality of the first past the post system, isn't it really? >> yes it is, it is. and i think that system is outdated and needs to go as well to be hon

including former rally, including former conservative minister dame andrea jenkins and the former ukiplighted to say joins me now. but before we get to him, let's hear from the foreign secretary, who was speaking in the commons earlier this afternoon. >> i want to reassure the house and all members of the uk family worldwide that this agreement does not signal any change in policy to britain's other overseas territories . british overseas territories. british sovereignty on the falkland islands , gibraltar and the islands, gibraltar and the sovereign base areas is not up for negotiation. the situations are not comparable . are not comparable. >> and i'm joined now by henry bolton. henry, you were at the protest outside parliament earlier on today. in fact, on my show earlier, i spoke to one of those gentlemen who was there, very, very passionate. can i ask you to respond first of all to something that david lammy said? he was laughed at? he was heckled in parliament when he said that this is critical for britain's national security. in fact, it's a deal that benefits is all in an incre

ukip was a one issue party, the brexit party was a one issue party.is a serious contender andisnt reform is a serious contender and isn't going to go away . some and isn't going to go away. some senior tories may think that nigel farage will disappear into a puff of smoke from one of his marlboro golds, but we saw him on gb news earlier. he's not going anywhere but reform has serious ideas which are very conservative, part of the tory family, ones on which we need to draw and help rebuild trust with the electorate . these are ideas the electorate. these are ideas on immigration, on law and order and crucially, on net zero. our members, the members here, the members, the members here, the members at this conference, see the world in such a similar way. our bases want the same thing, which means one thing, and that is that we need to work together. because in british politics, in a first past the post system, if your wing of political life is divided, you lose . it's as simple political life is divided, you lose. it's as simple as that. so only if we ca

>> i mean, and also thomas ukip will want england to do the best it can possibly be because it will bei don't think that him being a native brit has anything to do with how well he will end up doing as england manager. i'm very pro—german. i love a chicken schnitzel, i love it, that's good. >> also, it's good that you managed to boil down an entire nafion managed to boil down an entire nation into a essentially a breaded, a breaded snack. >> i think that might be austrian. >> absolutely love a german lagen >> you know what's great about the germans? because the brits were thinking, you know. well, because you know how small glasses of beer are in france and in spain. so the brits were like, well, it's a tragedy. we've got the pint . so and then we've got the pint. so and then the germans quite literally said, hold my beer. we've got a stein, we've got a stein, a stein, we've got a stein, a stein is what is that? is that two pints? >> so my colleague kristian niemietz will tell me for off getting this wrong. but i think it i think it is about two pints. it's a lot bigger. if you ever go

now, what i think we need to get to a position of is a position where we saw in 2019 where ukip weren'tin seats because they recognised that actually the conservatives were the ones that could win. they were the ones that could deliver on the agenda that could deliver on the agenda that they agreed with, and they too trusted the party to go forward and do that. so we need to bring back some more credibility. >> well, and of course, the one thing nobody's talking about is who is going to bring challenge to a reform, because yes, they had this big surge of support, but some of the things that they were promising to end nhs waiting lists, for example, are obviously not possible now. they had no there was no threat that they were going to win the last election, but clearly they are competing for that next time. so do you think the tories and labour need to be much more cognisant of that threat and actually address what reform are saying? >> 100%? i mean, i think you're >>100%? i mean, i think you're absolutely right because nigel, you know, came into the race late. it wasn't even like they'

for the next ukip 24% on average. staggering is going to be available next year and assumes a little did i meet a thought well, i can see the benefits here, right? i'm older now than my grandfather ever got to be because he died of a heart attack when he was 44. lots of of men in my family and heart disease. i knew i would obc makes it much more likely you get over 200 no diseases and complications. i thought if there's a drug that can reverse or future reduce obesity that we have all sorts of finches. i also thought wait a minute wait a minute, i've seen the story before,ig right? about every 20 years a new weight loss drug iss announced. we're told is going to save the world. huge numbers of people take a pic we always end up discovering it has some kind of catastrophic sidede effect, always gets pulld from the market, leaving a trail of devastation people in its wake. i was worried about on positivity, the progress made that with eating disorders. i felt conflicted which is why want a big turning to write the book

ukip your dog's getting getting fat, you give it less food. you exercise it more.weight themselves. >> so are you suggesting, andrew pierce, that fat people shouldn't own pets? >> no, i'm just saying that they should take more responsibility for their pets because they are responsible. they're feeding them to, you know, portion control. it's a tin of cat food. don't give them the whole tin. rosie and minnie are very happy cats. they're very healthy cats, as you know. they go to the vet probably once every five years. >> animal phobic. i'm scared of all animals, so i don't have any. i don't have any. i don't have a dog in this fight, you might say appropriately, but you would not have a fat dog. >> you would not have a fat when you , when you're at pet, looks you, when you're at pet, looks at you with its little eyes and it's like looking at you like, daddy, daddy, daddy, would you do that with your children? >> no, i wouldn't. no. >> no, i wouldn't. no. >> would you allow your children to have even more fizzy drink? even more chocolate cake? you would not. >> no, b

i'll be joined in the studio by gwen taylor, the legendary reform brexit party and ukip press guru, andalso by matthew talbot from the labour party. what will this mean for both the labour party and reform, and indeed the conservatives? what will it do to your vote? who do you want to be? the leader? let me know your views. the usual ways gbnews.com/yoursay. but that's your headlines. and here's katie bowen . bowen. >> martin, thank you very much and good afternoon to you. the time has just gone 3:00 i'm katie bowen in the gb newsroom. now as you've been hearing the final stages of the tory leadership battle are getting closer and we're expecting the results of the next round of voting imminently. james cleverly , robert jenrick and cleverly, robert jenrick and kemi badenoch all remain in the contest as mps have been voting this afternoon to select the final two contenders. tom tugendhat was eliminated during the latest round of voting yesterday , while james cleverly yesterday, while james cleverly came out on top with 39 votes once the final two candidates are selected this afternoon

and in my past life with ukip, that was about a cause, one individual cause. we're governed, and we think we can find people. >> no one can point the finger at you and say, you're a one party, a one party issue for you there. but who is it, nigel? who's voting for you? who do you appeal to? who are you looking to woo? i just think good, ordinary, decent folk, regardless of whether they're centre right , centre left, centre right, centre left, regardless of class or geography , regardless of class or geography, people eamonn who are concerned that the values upon which our country, our communities, our society were built on are under attack, are under threat, a feeling that we're heading in the wrong direction, a feeling that the population explosion, i mean, 10 million since mr blair came to power, frankly, is devalued the quality of life of almost everybody. >> and i think what they want is the kind of leadership that is unafraid, the kind of leadership that doesn't go woke and doesn't say , we've got to pander to this say, we've got to pander to this minorit

ukip. >> malthouse. >> malthouse. >> mr speaker, during the election campaign , the now prime election campaign, the now prime minister made a hell of a lot of promises, some of which i am sure he will remember. of particular importance to my constituents in andover and north—west hampshire was a promise made on the 18th of june dunng promise made on the 18th of june during a campaign visit to basingstoke, when he made an unequivocal , unconditional unequivocal, unconditional commitment to rebuild our local hospital . mr speaker, is commitment to rebuild our local hospital. mr speaker, is this a promise on which we can rely .7 promise on which we can rely? >> mr speaker, firstly, i am grateful to him for raising this because it's obviously a huge importance to his constituents and his right to do so. we are reviewing, as he knows, the programme, the programme that the last government put in place for 40 new hospitals had a number of flaws. they weren't all hospitals, they weren't new and they weren't funded. so we're reviewing it. but what i will say no, but he's right to raise this, a

that's football writer harry harris and former ukip leader neil hamilton. who do you agree with?should it be compulsory for thomas tuchel to sing the national anthem? blair on access. he's not english, of course. he shouldn't just do a good job managing the national team. tory on x says yes, he should sing england's national anthem. how can he lead the team if he doesn't sing it? i just think the best thing for thomas tuchel to do is sing the national anthem. just do it. you'd endear yourself to the british public forever, or the engush british public forever, or the english public anyway. forever. be fine and we'd never have to talk about it again. your verdict is now in. oh, 49% of you think that he should sing the national anthem. 51% of you say that he shouldn't sing the national anthem. that is, i think the tightest poll that we have ever seen here on patrick christys tonight. so there we go. maybe there was a little bit of german interference coming up the assisted dying bill was introduced to parliament today with mps set to vote on it next month. the archbishop of canterb

that's football writer harry harris and former ukip leader neil hamilton. who do you agree with?should it be compulsory for thomas tuchel to sing the national anthem? blair on access. he's not english, of course. he shouldn't just do a good job managing the national team. tory on x says a german in charge of our national team, or a frenchman or a russian or whatever. if they can do the job properly. after all, we are engaged in a professional team and manage the team. so i think the nationality is irrelevant here. but if it's the national team, whoever does these jobs needs to commit himself ioo% these jobs needs to commit himself 100% to everything for which that team stands. and that includes, in my view, singing our national anthem, of which we should all be proud because it's not just the words of the song itself, the fact that it does act as a symbol to bring the whole country together. >> yeah. no , i'm patrick, i'm >> yeah. no, i'm patrick, i'm sorry. >> this is double talk. you know, the guy just said to do the job properly. do the job properly as a as a coach of any foot
