zia yusuf. i'm delighted to be joined by yusuf this evening. ou a dangerous right wing political figure? >> look, keir starmers speech yesterday was confirmation that reform is officially now the effectively the actual opposition in this country. he's terrified. you can see it in his eyes. and the reason he's terrified is because reform is shining a bright, disinfecting light on his wretched government, and we have no intention of stopping jacob. >> fryston term of abuse, isn't it? what is it that you think he thinks is dangerous about you? is it dangerous that you're in favour of freedom of speech? is it dangerous that you think the uk should govern herself? is it dangerous that you think we should pull out of the european convention on human rights in. >> well, you're absolutely right. it's interesting that he chooses to use the word dangerous and refuses to engage substantively on issues. and the reason he can't engage substantively on issues is because he would lose decisively. look, labour is making the same mistake that politicians in this

now there's been a huge backlash from zia yusuf, the party chairman from rupert lowe and from lee anderson, who was saying this isn't acceptable. it's the kind of incitement to violence that a lot of people on the political left would simply say, isn't is unacceptable. imagine if that were a picture, for example, of zarah sultana with a line through it. or for example, sadiq khan, the mayor of london. they'd be taking to their fainting couches. they be calling it islamophobia of the highest order. or is it just a piece of paper? is this right wingers being snowflakes? let us know your thoughts in the usual way. get in touch, gbnews.com/yoursay. but now, here's your headlines, and it's san francisco. >> martin. >> martin. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> very much. and good afternoon to you. at 3:03. >> we start. >> we start. >> with news from russia. vladimir putin says. >> his nation. >> his nation. >> is ready. >> is ready. >> to return to negotiations. >> to return to negotiations. >> over the. >> over the. >> war. >> war. >> in ukraine. >> in ukraine. >> calling a resolution. >> calling

but i would be with the queen on this that if the reform party supporters, zia, yusuf and so on had kept about the pretty inoffensive poster that she put up in the first place. never explain, never complain. she wouldn't have come back with this retort. it's got a lot more publicity. it's likely to have generated a lot more hate by making a big thing of it. the people on the right are pretty used to having abuse. if you stand for parliament, you are putting your head above the parapet and asking for people to interact and comment, agree with you, but also to disagree with you. and i think taking that no entry sign so personally, was that a great failure of statesmanship? >> would you agree with that, matthew? >> yeah, i thought it was going to make myself a little bit unpopular, but annunciators possibly beat me to it. i saw the poster and i was quite surprised at the outrage it caused. as someone who regularly is a student would go and pick a tory party conference. when it came to manchester, it looked very similar to some of the posters that we put out then. the atmosphere was never on

maybe some they've got what's this guy called zia yusuf and they've got some people and and they�*vewarming up to reform a little bit, but only because he's sort of trying to game out this strategy for 2029. >> you think farage wants reform want wants dominic cummings? i mean, i'm just saying, if i�*m having a christmas party, if i'm reform, i'm not going to allow reform, i�*m not going to allow dominic cummings to be walking around with a camera. no. >> i mean, exactly. they haven't gone on well in the past and comes in a very clear about what he thinks of farage, but he seems to be warming up to the idea. my assumption is perhaps cummings pitches himselfjust as cummings pitches himself just as a commentator now because he doesnt a commentator now because he doesn't like whitehall, but perhaps he sees himself getting involved in it in some peripheral way to help. i don�*t know. >> they were politically aligned on brexit, although on different parties. >> yeah, but he wanted nothing to do with the farage campaign. >> absolutely. but one thing i would say supporting them in the local
