Dame priti warns that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill need a deterrent factor . For a start , and removals and a start, and removals and returns. My rwanda plan was returns. My rwanda plan was central to that. The returns agreements that i have put in place and others are now putting in place. We have to get planes leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally, you cant just get a free pass being firm is actually the stance that we should take, and that means removing people and returning people to other third countries or country of origin as well. Dame pretty also spoke to Camilla Tominey about the net zero target, saying the government needs to press pause on the 2050 climate goal. Public are not ready for this and importantly, we cannot just have this state, the Government Central government just sort of saying across again, institutions, local councils , institutions, local councils, county councils, this, these are the targets that you have to meet when we dont have the technology, were not ready. Now, if we want a sensible conversation about climate and the impact of climate change, recognising there are problems is one thing, absolutely, but making sure that we have the tools and the ability that doesnt impose costs and taxes on ordinary people , the on ordinary people, the governments Energy Security plans will be unveiled this week , aiming to power up britain from britain. The Prime Minister and the Energy Security secretary are due to meet bosses from the uks oil and gas. Renewable and Nuclear Industries.

Were paying about 60 more than the european average wholesale for wholesale electricity prices. We are saddled with a net zero project which amongst other things is going to deliver things like heat pumps which are unaffordable and completely impractical for many of the people. Lower down on the income scale and, you know, and were taxing our oil and gas industry, which has been mentioned in this at 75 at well , the energy and at 75 at well, the energy and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage. Rowe grant shapps told the sun that the problem stems from being a politically exposed person. He accused banks of going too far. It comes as mr farage launched a new website to help people who like him , have help people who like him, have had their Bank Accounts forcibly closed. Ed, the gb news closed. Ed, the gb news presenter, says 1000 accounts are being shut every day. What ive learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were , ive just been it were, ive just been inundated by Small Businesses, by folk all around the country. People in absolute fear , terror people in absolute fear, terror lives being ruined. Thousands of lives being ruined. Thousands of businesses being closed and the Prime Minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. The scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an interview with the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports peoples right to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. Shadow International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Symonds says the pm should leave the decision to local areas is our position is that it local areas is our position is thatitis local areas is our position is that it is for Community Bodies to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where by the way, there are communities up and down the country, you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods , whether it their neighbourhoods, whether it is in terms of you know, clean air zones. Weve talked obviously specifically about ulez. Yes, we certainly a well planned certainly believe a well planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing. Good thing. And finally, the hs2 programme has been given a red rating by the infrastructure watchdog. It believes the timetable for construction of the first two phases of the rail line from london to birmingham and then on to crewe are unachievable. While the ipas unachievable. While the ipas annual report , which follows the annual report, which follows the resignation of chief executive Mark Thurston, cites major issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 was initially issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 was initially slated budget. Hs2 was initially slated to open in 2026. This has now been delayed by up to seven years. This is dup news. Well bnng years. This is dup news. Well bring you more as it happens. Now lets get straight back to. Emily thank you, ray. So the Prime Minister rishi sunak, has claimed he is on the side of drivers as he orders a full review of the rollout of controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So in controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. So in such neighbourhoods. So in such plans, local councils attempt to limit traffic in town and city centres , with drivers centres, with drivers often prevented using quiet prevented from using quiet residential roads as three routes as theyre designed to essentially uptake essentially encourage the uptake of other modes of transport and get rid of cars. Encourage people to get out of their cars and use a bicycle. Well, perhaps. But others see the plans as an attack on motorists and have urged prime and have urged the Prime Minister to defending minister to lean in to defending drivers engage in a rethink drivers and engage in a rethink on zero amid hopes of on net zero amid hopes of attacking labours green ambitions. So were going to go straight to lisa hartle gb News Reporter whos been following this story very closely. She joins now. Joins us from hackney now. Hackney has had quite a lot of controversy over their use of low traffic neighbourhoods. Many are very angry. Am i right. Hello. Yes, well, hackney has the largest coverage of ltns in london, around 70 of the borough is covered. And so what is an ltn . So low traffic neighbourhood zone. So as you can see behind me, theres one of the roads thats affected. Its to try and stop vehicles going down there, apart from buses, ambulance and ambulances, Service Emergency Services Going down. Roads like this. Theres down. Roads like this. Theres planters in the road to stop lorries, for example, going down. But what weve seen since weve been here is motorbike saw a motorbike go onto the pavement to avoid going down. Theres a camera just over there. Whether hell still get picked up, i dont know. But i spoke to some of the residents who live around here because the idea of this is to obviously reduce the traffic going roads and then going down these roads and then to quality to improve air quality for people live and make people who live here and make the one said the roads safer. One lady said that seen a huge that she has seen a huge reduction in traffic. She said this road used to be gridlocked most of the time. So now people are able use this as are not able to use this as a through route, are using the other so she said other roads around. So she said she more taking she sees more parents taking their kids to school or using bikes. The that bikes. You know, the bikes that you what would you you see with the what would you call them . The things attached to children can to them where the children can be because the roads be taken down because the roads are safer. However, i have spoken to another lady and she said that said problems for her is that she also sees what weve seen today with the motorbikes going onto the pavement instead of going down there, which she said is and is obviously more dangerous. And then she has, then the other problem she has, she after a long night she said, is after a long night out, she gets back at the early hours of the morning. Ubers cant bring so has cant bring her home, so she has to walk the streets to then walk down the streets late night on her or late at night on her own or early hours of the morning. And then there was another lady who said is constantly said her husband is constantly getting by accidentally getting fines by accidentally driving this driving down roads such as this one. Has, of one. Now rishi sunak has, of course, ordered a review course, looked ordered a review into this. The department of transport, into just how transport, to look into just how these working, how effective these are working, how effective they because another they are, because again, another lady to around here lady i spoke to around here said that she the that actually she sees the problem pushing from problem pushing traffic from areas affluent areas where its an affluent areas where its an affluent area into the areas where people who live with less money. So actually creating the problem, making worse for making the problem worse for them, congestion around them, making congestion around these worse. So its going these areas worse. So its going to be were going to find out. Itll be interesting to find out what review finds what what the review finds because is this is this improving air quality for everybody or is it simply pushing the problem out to other areas . But its not clear yet areas . But its not clear yet whether councils, whether the government will be allowed to actually change these schemes that in place or indeed that are in place or indeed scrap going despite scrap them Going Forward despite what finds as well. What the review finds as well. Its very interesting, isnt it, live on one it, because if you live on one of these residential roads where theres l10, must be theres an l10, it must be lovely because theres barely any that passes, any traffic that passes, very calm. Probably an improved quality of life if you happen to live on one of those roads. But what seems to happen is all that traffic gets pushed out onto other roads you have other roads and you have gridlock seems to be gridlock and it seems to be causing the most harm to Small Business people, self employed people who maybe people who go about maybe plumbers, maybe self employed couriers cant go about couriers who cant go about their business or their journeys are massively elongated. They cant get from a to b, so the number of jobs they do obviously is reduced less money. It is is reduced less money. So it is a bit of an attack, perhaps a bit of a regressive attack because it well, it costs people who need to go about and do their business in way. Their business in that way. Well, exactly. And if you do accidentally drive down, for example, the street behind me, thats a £60 fine that youre going to be issued with. And this isnt just a scheme thats here, course, its other here, of course, its other cities around the country such as bristol and birmingham. And again, more problems are being reported as here. Reported the same as here. Indeed, if you live in this road, then yeah, its much better. Air quality is going to have been affected. Less have been affected. Theres less traffic, the people traffic, but then the People Living the parts living in the other parts where the drivers are having to take those then those routes around and then theres more congestion. Another person i spoke to around here said then said that the trouble is then the congestion that get the more congestion that you get elsewhere, cars are elsewhere, then the cars are having sit there for longer. Having to sit there for longer. So theres an increase in so theres still an increase in air those areas. So air pollution in those areas. So yeah, theres a lot of yeah, but theres not a lot of information i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to i tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to find tried yeah, but theres not a lot of informaearlier to find like a looking earlier to find like a map of all the different areas of where are, theres of where they are, but theres not a lot of information and no data to really show exactly how many these areas have in many of these areas have been in implemented here or across the country. Yes. If you were if you happen to be trying to drive around central london, it is quite a difficult experience. I must say. Lisa hartle they are gb News Reporter live from hackney. One of the most lightened areas in london. So id love to bring in my panel now to discuss that, im joined by gb news presenter Darren Grimes and former labour mp Stephen Pound. Thank you very Stephen Pound. Thank you very much indeed forjoining me this much indeed for joining me this afternoon. Its interesting afternoon. So its interesting what there, stephen. What lisa says there, stephen. These schemes are good for people who happen to live on that residential street that is now and quiet. But what now peaceful and quiet. But what about the gridlock down the road . 7 can we 7 can we have . Can we have a reality 7 can we have a reality check here . No. No. Okay, stephen, always, always go on. Look for 50 years, to my certain knowledge , weve been certain knowledge, weve been stopping rat running by making one way streets, blocking off streets. Weve always done it. If youre going let the if youre going to let the motorists like mr toad going motorists be like mr toad going up and roaring the up and roaring through the countryside and people countryside and knocking people into fine. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the fine. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist,. Thats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist, butats great countryside and knocking people int the motorist, but its great for the motorist, but its pretty bad for city. Look, pretty bad for the city. Look, rishi sunaks comments were both childish thought childish and frankly ill thought out. If he wants to take away and of the last and destroy one of the last vestiges local government vestiges of local government democracy, then let him out democracy, then let him come out and it. And say it. Is not to do with this is not to do with democracy. These systems were often imposed the often imposed during the pandemic proper pandemic without proper consultation against locals wishes because there is a strong anti car lobby, particularly in local councils in london, where they believe that this is the way to get cars gone. Im sorry, they are democratic. You can vote on them. Every council vote them. Every council has a vote on things ealing where on the things in ealing where im know, had eight im from, you know, we had eight uns im from, you know, we had eight ltns people they wanted ltns people voted. They wanted to two of them and lose six. Why do they bother with consulting . Yeah, well, because the consultation is of course you have whether consultation is of course you hav even whether consultation is of course you haveven going whether consultation is of course you haveven going wear|ether consultation is of course you haveven going wear oneer consultation is of course you haveven going wear one on its even going to wear one on this but then if its not this thing. But then if its not popular, it doesnt work. Thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of thought, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the ught, you know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the labourou know, popular, it doesnt work. A man of the labour party, ow, as a man of the labour party, you would want to support the working you speak to working man. And if you speak to people who need to around people who need to get around london and other areas the london and other areas of the country their cars because country in their cars because they cant carry around all their in their their toolkit with them in their handbag. Emily i speak the handbag. Emily i speak as the father of electrician. Father of an electrician. Is a sparky. He drives my son is a sparky. He drives around in his van, but hes all his working life. Been his working life. Hes been certain cant go certain streets you cant go down and quite frankly, if he cant find your way around as your about driving around your point about driving around central london, earth in central london, who on earth in their would drive their right mind would drive down Oxford Street . In central london. My car in central london. Oxford fined oxford got fined. I got fined because think i went into an because i think i went into an you should be let off you. Hands up. I think i went into an ltn and mistake because it wasnt and by mistake because it wasnt actually that obvious. Darren its not just london though, right . These things are happening in newcastle, example , and newcastle, for example, and other the country other places around the country and i see it as an assault on motorists. I actually see it as this theory to try and get this nudge theory to try and get people out of their cars. Thats what want to do ultimately what they want to do ultimately to have fewer people. Whats wrong with that, darren . Well because and because its about freedom and liberty. Should all be free liberty. We should all be free to drive cars if we want to. I dont accept that air quality in london has been getting worse. London has been getting worse. Actually, if you compare it to 1970, parties matter down by 76, at least. So air quality is at least. So air quality is Getting Better and this is used as an excuse to fatten sidique khans coffers and to get people out of their cars. Its an assault on motorists. The whole green agenda is about that. Its about force and behaviours. And i think whats happened in uxbndge i think whats happened in uxbridge , emily, is but a test uxbridge, emily, is but a test subject out of whats going to happen because the people who are finally, i think, waking up to whats going on here and how its going to hit them in the pocket, well, im glad you brought happened brought up what happened in uxbridge. The tories of course, the tories unexpectedly won that by election on an anti ulez ticket. Are you stephen, a little bit out of touch . Oh people have been saying that all my life. Im not arguing about that. But look, lets just get one thing straight. Freedom for the wolf does not mean freedom for the lamb. Thats not for you to or a local council decide. Or a local council to decide. Well, no, sorry. Im sorry. Well, no, im sorry. Im sorry. One persons freedom is another persons to persons oppression. You have to be careful. Let me make be very careful. Let me make a prediction about whos being oppressed prediction about whos being oppstephen. Whos stephen. Someone whos being oppressed use of cars, oppressed by the use of cars, people are choking the people who are choking in the fumes theyre parking fumes when theyre parking outside dropping outside the school, dropping their in their great their kids off in their great range rovers. People who cant get out of their door because their front door because cars are down, people are roaring up and down, people with mufflers things with mufflers and things that arent making filthy arent working, making a filthy noise a lot of people are being impressed. Look, we can coexist with we can. And with cars. Of course we can. And we should. Idea that any we should. But the idea that any one of people one particular group of people is another people, is anti another group of people, what, 75 of the people in this country drive cars. Were not going anti all of them, going to be anti all of them, are totally stupid. Yeah, i take your point, but there are many case studies of people who are self employed and theyve taken the very expensive decision car to decision to upgrade their car to an vehicle, which can an electric vehicle, which can be very expensive indeed. And be very expensive indeed. And then over the course of the pandemic, they find that they can barely make it to a from a to b without being, you know, pummelled with extra costs, not only ulez, but then, of course, these low traffic neighbourhoods, which genuinely mean that some people have gone from a to five jobs a from 10 a day to five jobs a day, and then thats passed on to consumer. To the consumer. Absolutely. Things absolutely. And on things like there are nurses is like ulez, there are nurses is being i think if we take a being used. I think if we take a nurse as a case study who are paying nurse as a case study who are paying twice in one shift because theyre theyre doing night shifts. So theyre paying that £12 or is it 1250 every single time. Now that to me is absolutely outrageous. Nurses absolutely outrageous. Nurses are already struggling at this point. We havent got enough money in the economy to actually give them a decent pay rise. So i actually went to watch a clip of labours david lammy, who was on another broadcast, which i shant on another broadcast, which i shant name because its not worth watching, but he was saying, you he was listening to a struggling londoner who was saying , this is going to break saying, this is going to break my family right . We cant saying, this is going to break my family right . We cant afford my family right . We cant afford to take this hit and he replied and he says, just get a new car or do you want your kids to get asthma . I mean, you cant turn around to people and say, just go out and get yourself a new motor. What planet live in. Motor. What planet you live in. Are lot of questions there are a lot of questions to be asked about, about the statistics that sadiq khan exactly. Exactly. If i said that to my son, id get very dusty answer. Id get get a very dusty answer. Id get a very, very. But look, a couple of things. First of all, i spent a lot of in uxbridge and it a lot of time in uxbridge and it wasnt a lot fun to be wasnt a lot of fun to be perfectly but perfectly honest. But the reality if you bought your reality is, if you bought your car since 2005, its ulez compliant anyway if youre driving so its people driving a car. So its people who poorest in our who are the poorest in our society able to make society or least able to make this that the most effective. These policies are aggressive and big question of and i want our big question of the is should rishi sunak the day is should rishi sunak take this as an indicator of actually, well, maybe a little bit of a rethink when it comes to net zero, too, because it does pummel those who are least able to afford it. All these policies. Policies. There was a liberal democrat councillor quoted in the paper today that people who today that said people who object to this should be gassed. You know, said this down in you know, he said this down in christchurch, going christchurch, im not going to mention name absolutely mention his name was absolutely ludicrous. If people are such mention his name was absolutely lucextremef people are such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective on such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective on this, an extreme perspective on this, then just calm then i think lets just calm down little bit and lets just down a little bit and lets just down a little bit and lets just do it the gb news way. Respecting each other opinions do it the gb news way. Resjactually ach other opinions do it the gb news way. Resjactually talkingar opinions do it the gb news way. Resjactually talking about|ions do it the gb news way. Resjactually talking about itns and actually talking about it sensibly. Everybody sensibly. Surely everybody accepts cases accepts that there are cases when ltns and anti rat running schemes appropriate. Think schemes are appropriate. I think if can just accept that and if we can just accept that and then on to the next step and then go on to the next step and say the decision ultimately should be taken by the people for by for the people, not by whitehall. You trust civil whitehall. Do you trust Civil Servants more than local councillors . Tough call , councillors . Its a tough call, and not by activist lobby groups, id say. But anyway , we well come but anyway, we well come back to this soon because i think our panel have got a lot more to say on this issue. Youre listening to youre watching or listening to gb with me. Sunday gb news saturday with me. Sunday with emily we have with me, emily carver. We have so more to bring on the so much more to bring you on the rest show, so dont go rest of the show, so dont go anywhere. But first, lets get the weather.

Rain into southwest england. Some for wales, some heavier bursts for wales, Northern Ireland later on into northern also turning fairly damp england also turning fairly damp and the breeze and grey as well.

Enjoy the rest your bye bye. That rest of your day. Bye bye. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news youre youre with gb news sunday with me emily carvel. Weve got lots more to come up weve got lots more to come up on todays show. Please do get in touch about our conversation about ulez and being anti car and the governments review ltns. Let governments review on ltns. Let me what you think, but me know what you think, but Meghan Markle prince harry Meghan Markle and prince harry could to downsize could be forced to downsize following collapse their following the collapse of their spotify trouble with spotify deal and trouble with netflix and netflix. Posh and becks reportedly dont even want to be their friends anymore , nor their friends anymore, nor should just admit defeat. Should harry just admit defeat. Come back with his tail between his sorry to the his legs and say sorry to the royal family and the rest of us. Perhaps thats wishful thinking. And it not, people and believe it or not, people traffickers are exploiting tiktok advertise their tiktok to advertise their illegal boat crossings. Illegal small boat crossings. Theyre very clever indeed. Theyre very clever indeed. Theyre boat and union theyre using boat and union jack emojis to trick tiktok into keeping their videos up on the platform. So have we simply become a laughing stock at this stage . Youre watching and listening news with listening to gb news sunday with me, emily on gb news, channel welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv and radio. So as prince harrys battle with the press continues, it seems all is not well. In his montecito paradise, rumours have been swirling, of course, that his marriage may on the his marriage may be on the rocks. It seems the pair rocks. Now it seems the pair could looking downsize could be looking to downsize from mansion after their from their mansion after their lucrative a lucrative spotify deal came to a rather abrupt end. And to make matters even worse, harry and meghans relationship power meghans relationship with power couple and becks appears to couple posh and becks appears to be after harry reportedly be over after harry reportedly accused the couple of leaking royal stories to the press. So to make sense of this all, lets speak commentator speak to royal commentator michael cole. Michael, thank you very much for joining michael cole. Michael, thank you very much forjoining me. So what do you make of these headlines . Start with the headlines . Lets start with the downsizing. Do you theres downsizing. Do you think theres some that . Mean, they some truth to that . I mean, they have lost quite a lot of potential money, havent they , emily . Good afternoon. Yes indeed. Good afternoon. Yes indeed. For a for a couple who prize their privacy above all, they do rather attract a large amount of pubuchy rather attract a large amount of publicity , dont they . And this publicity, dont they . And this is absolutely no surprise to me because this house that they have on a hilltop, this little fortress in montecito , about 100 fortress in montecito, about 100 miles from los angeles , theyve miles from los angeles, theyve got a £7 million mortgage on that. Think about that. A nine bedroom house. And whats more, i think this is the big one is that theyve got round the clock security. Now, if you or i were paying security. Now, if you or i were paying for three shifts of hefty men to protect us 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, you can burn through an awful lot of money, very quickly. And of course, they lost their or she lost her contract with spotify. With spotify. Spotify dropped them like a hot potato and rather ungallantly bill simmons, who is the head of spotify, described them as grifters, which is an american slang term for con confidence tricksters. Its a bit tough and theyve had it in both ears really , because a man both ears really, because a man whos the head of the Talent Agency called jerry zimmer , hes agency called jerry zimmer, hes the ceo of united Talent Agency. Hes described a Meghan Markle as being untalented. So theyre not having too good a time of it at the moment. Its not going too well, is it, michael, for the for the couple . I mean, thats its probably not even the cost of the mortgage that theyre worried its probably all worried about. Its probably all the whistles. You the bells and whistles. As you say, security, the say, the security, the gardeners, man , the gardeners, the pool man, the well , the child minders, the well, the child minders, the nannies, the cooks, the chefs, whatever else they have. But posh and becks. Now thats another celebrity couple, celebrity royalty, one might say theyve gone off them two very, very sad. This i mean, if you didnt know that the sussexes and the beckhams were best buddies, as you now know, that they were, and the past tense and thats in the past tense because they apparently because they were apparently what happened there was what has happened there was a tense rather bad tempered phone call from prince harry to David Beckham, suggesting that the beckhams had leaked stories about the sussexes. Well, its terrible to be accused of something you didnt do. And David Beckham was very furious about it. And they havent been on speakers since. So. Well, michael, it also shows it also shows just how paranoid harry is accusing his his friends of potentially leaking story about him and his wife. Its a its quite a lot. But sadly , thats all weve got time sadly, thats all weve got time for. Michael, thank you very much for bringing us up to date on all the gossip, rumour and reports about harry and meghan and their life in montecito, which may be coming to an end. Who knows . But lets what who knows . But lets see what my panel im joined panel make of this. Im joined by news presenter darren by gb news presenter Darren Grimes course, Stephen Grimes and of course, Stephen Pound. Here. Darren, pound. With me here. Darren, whats on the of whats your take on the end of the friendship the the friendship with the beckhams . Its going to be beckhams . Well, its going to be Wagatha Christie 2. 0, isnt it . So its very exciting. Lets hope to court. So we get hope it goes to court. So we get to of again but to follow all of that. Again but look, think ultimately theyre look, i think ultimately theyre talking now all of these talking about now all of these things being taken away from them. Theyve lost their trinkets from spotify, netflix and things may and potentially other things may be on the way out, too. They be on the way out, too. They talk have coming talk and potentially have coming back to the uk. Emily, i think theyd be about as welcome as a in a lift. I really, really do. I dont know. I think we, we dont hold a grudge in this country. Well, i dont. And i would welcome him back he said showed back if he said sorry. Showed a bit you know, contrition. Bit of you know, contrition. Did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did. You did welcome him back. You did say welcome him back. You tail between his you had his tail between his legs. But listen, let me just tell you something a bit odd that happened yesterday afternoon. Was afternoon. Very quickly. I was at football, obviously, and my team, town, were playing team, hanwell town, were playing brentford on brentford Romeo Beckham was on the know, a good the bench. And, you know, a good lad, a bit lad, he actually looks a bit like but thinner and like his dad, but thinner and taller. Anyway, i to taller. Anyway, so i spoke to the brentford manager and i said, you know, do you want us to make special to make any special arrangements, any question . He said, one thing, said, no, just say one thing, David Beckham doesnt come to this his this football match when his sons it would sons playing because it would distract football and sons playing because it would dis doesnt football and sons playing because it would dis doesnt want football and sons playing because it would dis doesnt want any tball and sons playing because it would dis doesnt want any publicity or he doesnt want any publicity or anything in fact, if anything about it. In fact, if we play him under a false we could play him under a false name, we would. And i thought thats difference. Know, thats the difference. You know, thats the difference. You know, thats a profound decency not getting way your sons getting in the way of your sons career, bringing career, not actually bringing a problem football problem for the whole football match these match as for these people, i think grifters quite a polite think grifters is quite a polite word, but honesty, i am word, but in all honesty, i am not awake at night not lying awake at night weeping, bitter salt, tears for the montecito.

Absolutely. I think since the oprah interview, theyve very quickly of anything to quickly ran out of anything to say, especially after harry say, and especially after harry was writing about how he lost his virginity and all the rest of it, going into real detail in his book spare. So spare us is what the public are saying. And now even the americans are turning around and saying, ive had enough of this petulant pair, so im not sure emily they ever will apologise because i genuinely do not believe that they think theyve got anything to for. To apologise for. Theyd have to split first. Of course think would have of course. I think it would have to harry on who came back. And it is interesting. And it is interesting. Theyve not been pictured together for a little while. It is interesting. Theyre very much their separate very much going their separate ways their ambitions. Well, youre not really annoys it says this annoys me. It says all this Gwyneth Paltrow wokery nonsense about inner about in touch with your inner person. Its person.

What do you actually, you know, he came know, forgive harry if he came back and said, sorry, i would, but im little a but perhaps im a a little a little too sweet on that little bit too sweet on that one. Youre and one. Youre watching and listening news with listening to gb news sunday with me, emily kabul. Weve got lots more coming up on todays show. A city a top London University city and one white members of one that barred white members of staff from free Tai Chi Classes. Also, it turns out, gives staff advice to be woke. Advice on how to be woke. Go figure more come. But figure this more to come. But first, your news first, lets get your news update. Update. 1 32. Im ray addison update. 1 32. Im ray addison in update. 1 32. Im ray addison in the 1 32. Im ray addison in the newsroom. And our top story , newsroom. And our top story, former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has told gb news the government needs to clamp down on, quote, lefty lawyers to stop illegal migration action. She says the attorney general and the lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave. That as the number of Channel Crossings continues to climb with more than 14,700 people intercepted in small boats. So far this year. Dame priti warns that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill the energy and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage row. Grant shapps told the sun the problem stems from being a politically exposed person when hes accusing banks of going too far. It comes as mr farage launched a new website to help people who, like him, have had their banks Bank Accounts forcibly closed. The Prime Minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. The scheme, neighbourhoods. The scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an interview with the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports peoples rights to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. Well the governments them. Well the governments Energy Security plans will be unveiled this week, aiming to power up britain from britain. Power up britain from britain. The Prime Minister and the Energy Security secretary are due to meet bosses from the uks oil and gas , renewable and oil and gas, renewable and Nuclear Industry countries. Theyre expected to reveal a raft of new investment plans , raft of new investment plans, dnvenin raft of new investment plans, driven in part by the need for Greater Energy independence. Since russias invasion of ukraine. Well, theres more on all of those stories by visiting our website at gb news. Com. Back our website at gb news. Com. Back to emily in just a moment. Tv, online and digital radio. Now, a lot of you have been writing in. Ive been inundated actually with a bit of a fact check. Something that Stephen Pound said about the ulez scheme. Now, apparently , judy scheme. Now, apparently, judy says just heard a panellist say if you bought your car after 2005, it will be ulez compliant. My 2005, it will be ulez compliant. My car was registered in 2001 and to my surprise came back as ulez compliant. Oh, thats not the right one. Essentially, some people are saying that if your car not every car that you bought in 2005 is actually compliant , bought in 2005 is actually compliant, but ulez. So youre wrong on that one. No. Well, hang on a second. Mean let me just nuance this slightly. Technically, youre absolutely correct. If youve got or a large vehicle got a van or a large vehicle after isnt after 2005, it probably isnt ulez compliant. But the ulez compliant. But 90 of the cars on road that were cars on the road that were bought after 2005 are. So i should have said, and youre absolutely right, viewers absolutely right, your viewers have there have corrected me as well there we thats why we have viewers, thats why we have viewers, of course, write in to us. Of course, who write in to us. Jenny said the criteria for criteria for ulez compliant cars will be lowered once the scheme is implemented across is fully implemented across london. Fooled. The london. Do not be fooled. The aim to tax everyone out of aim is to tax everyone out of their absolutely. Their cars absolutely. Lets not forget that and lets not forget that Government Intervention this and lets not forget that goveinnent intervention this and lets not forget that govein thet intervention this and lets not forget that gove in the past rvention this and lets not forget that govein the past hasition this and lets not forget that gove in the past has meant this and lets not forget that gove in the past has meant that area in the past has meant that were all driving around in diesel cars. Then they turn round actually round and said, oh, actually weve made a boo boo there. Diesel is quite poisonous when the fumes come out and all the rest was pushed rest of it. And that was pushed by eu in the whole emission by the eu in the whole emission scandal was being scandal where it was being fiddled and all the it. Fiddled and all the rest of it. And theres well, absolutely. And theres also that sadiq khan, also the worry that sadiq khan, hes put up thousands of cameras around the entirety of Greater London and people are wondering , well, the plan here . , well, whats the plan here . Perhaps a pay per mile perhaps a pay pay per mile scheme, which would be, well, incredibly expensive for people going about their daily business, but perhaps its whats needed to combat pollution. Let me know what you think. Now, moving on. Its been revealed london revealed the top London University that barred white members from free members of staff from free Tai Chi Classes , so white people chi classes, so white people were from attending these were banned from attending these classes. This university classes. Now this university actually its revealed , gives actually its revealed, gives staff advice on how to be woke. What does this include . Well, what does this include . Well, Kings College london encouraged its academics to take an unconscious bias test. It tells them that if they happen to be white, they should understand they have benefit did as a result of their racial identity. So in awoke toolkit, it teaches lecturers how to be an anti racist ally. Thats different from just not being racist and suggests they read books, including what white people can do next. All right. Well, joining me now is tom harris, director of data at the Free Speech Union. Is kings Free Speech Union. Is Kings College london an outlier for here . Tom well, certainly its had two items in the news in quick succession. Succession. So in that way, perhaps, yes. But at our data would also suggest no. Weve had more than suggest no. Weve had more than 2000 cases relating to free speech since we were set up in february 2020. And 20 of those have related to universities and have related to universities and have related to student unions , where our to student unions, where our membership is less than 10. So we have a lot of universities and Kings College are obviously on the list. But theres oxford, theres cambridge, all in some sense in some way causing difficulties either for their academics or their students with free speech. It must be quite a hostile place. The academic world are place. The academic world are universities across the country for people who dont subscribe to. Well, maybe the idea of to. Well, maybe the idea of White Supremacy or a higher rakhi of victimhood or the fact that you dont just have to be not racist, you have to be anti racist. Im not sure id fancy be working in the academic world right now. I feel like id simply be shunned. Simply be shunned. It really has become quite a hostile place. The one thing we seem to find again and again with diversity eqtu again and again with diversity equity and inclusion is that it doesnt entail a diversity of views, a diversity of outlooks on on these issues. Thankfully, there are more and more institutions such as dont divide us who are providing alternative views and alternative perspectives , but alternative perspectives, but still perhaps part of the problem is a lot of this came from universities, albeit universities in the us to start with, the fact that these ideas came from universities means that routeing it out of universities is going to be really, really tricky. Really, really tricky. Lastly, its not and just lastly, its not just universities, is it . This is all over the country in different guises in the Public Sector here in whitehall departments , in big departments, in big corporations, they all seem to be signed up to this list. This this woke agenda unconscious bias training is everywhere. Bias training is everywhere. There seems to be this idea that you are privileged based on your skin colour. If you happen to be white, everyone seems to have to sign up to this and i do wonder how many people actually believe it all. I think thats a really important point because in many ways these are political views that people are being asked to sign up to. And thats exactly what we saw with the nigel farage news cycle of the last few weeks, is that it was his political views, which were were the problem for the bank. So its the same thing were seeing in universities and it absolutely seems to be that politics is not allowed to be left at home anymore, but its being brought into the workplace schools as well. And also universal cities. And also universal cities. So we see 42 of our cases relate to the workplace in some shape or form. Shape or form. I do. I do worry that people just feel like they cant speak up. I felt it at university supporting brexit, but i was a bit of a pariah among some of my professors. I dont think they liked that at all. And other things like controversial things like immigration and freedom of movement. And of course now all the stuff thats come out of black lives matter. But there you go. Perhaps we need more anti woke universities, but well see what happens. Thank you much indeed. Tom you very much indeed. Tom harris, data at the harris, director of data at the Free Speech Union. So im quite keen hear panel think keen to hear what my panel think about darren. About this. Actually darren. Okay. Is just a story about okay. This is just a story about Kings College london in, but i think its something that weve seen in all our institutions. As seen in all our institutions. As i was saying to tom there, what do of it all . Do you make of it all . Absolutely. I mean, the question there about being asked to read what white people can do next, i would say, well, ill tell you what, this white persons going to right now. Persons going to do right now. Tell off, you know, tell you enough off, you know, you race baiter because i think thats much this is. Thats what much of this is. Its about making its its about making money. Its very be in the very profitable to be in the victim industry , victimhood, victim industry, victimhood, narratives all of narratives and all the rest of it propagating things. But it propagating these things. But but its bigger than all of that. You mentioned you hit on the nigel farage story well. The nigel farage story as well. This is the esg virus thats running rampant throughout many institutions in the uk. 13 years institutions in the uk. 13 years of conservative government emily, what have they actually done and where have they been when it comes to this whole industry that has been created within many of britains institutions where people are told that theyre racist people are told that theyre transphobic and all the rest of it, when you know all they all theyre saying is things like britain isnt a racist country or a woman cant have a penis. This and youll be reprimanded for all of that. The conservatives have allowed this to run rampant. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen, i think we need a bit of a march back through the institutions in this country. It is quite incredible that weve had 13 years of some form of conservative lviv government. Well said. Yet but yet whitehall departments, our universities , departments, our universities, our schools seem to be all signed up to this type of agenda. Would you allow me to agree with darren . Oh, there we are. Oh, there we are. Stephen pound is the least woke former labour mp. But look, lets get a couple of things. What is an ivory tower . An ivory tower is actually a of an oxford or actually a sort of an oxford or Cambridge College keele or Cambridge College or keele or strand we used to strand polytechnic as we used to call it. But the reality is theyve obviously got too much time their hands and ivory time on their hands and ivory tower bad turn of tower probably is a bad turn of phrase days. Phrase these days. Sorry. Okay. Yeah oh, im sorry. Okay. Yeah oh, im sorry. Okay. Yeah rainbow ebony. Rainbow ebony. Tower , tower. Ebony tower, tower. Ebony tower, tower. But look , Tower Hamlets okay. But look, Tower Hamlets anyway. But look, the point being, Everybody Knows in universities have most universities have these most ferocious disputes , huge, huge ferocious disputes, huge, huge arguments about tiny, tiny things. Think the point things. And i think the point about this, can beat about this, you can beat yourself from now till yourself up from now till christmas, if youre christmas, because if youre allowed mention christmas, allowed to mention christmas, because you okay, im because you can say, okay, im biased, but know what am biased, but you know what am i doing about it . And in the end, youre going to have to sort of cut your hands off or cut your wrists or something just to prove but look, interesting prove it. But look, interesting point. The point. You said not for the first time. I think a lot of people and remember when we people and i remember when we had the house of had this in the house of commons, when we had to all look on training a lot of people on this training a lot of people simply that box. They dont simply tick that box. They dont engage with it. They dont appreciate dont appreciate it, they dont understand it. And maybe theres a there a real argument out there that we should be talking about, but thats going because of this ludicrous, overloaded, super charged forcing people. Do think you have do you think you have privilege a White Privilege as a white male . I think i have as think i have privilege as a person who two parents person who had two parents and was a fairly was brought up in a fairly stable household. Yes, i would agree with those sentiments. I think thats absolutely right, because actually, dont right, because actually, i dont think more an think theres any more racist an idea inherently idea that someone is inherently privileged or not privileged because of the colour of their skin, in a country skin, especially in a country like britain. Im immensely proud a country that proud to live in a country that has relations has fantastic Race Relations where can get no where you can get ahead no matter what your background. It is those issues there where a lack a to parents is lack of a parent to parents is what holds you back than what holds you back more than your colour of your skin. About also, the irony about this story that Kings College story is that Kings College london is probably one of the most the most diverse universities in the country. Very country. Theres probably very much white pupils much a minority of white pupils and it was founded by the church of england. Kca was originally a church of england to train of England Institution to train vicars the church of vicars vicars for the church of england. Know, well, england. You know, well, well, full circle. Nice. Well, you go. But let well, there you go. But let us know at home what you think about it. But were going to move because is some move on because there is some shocking from the channel. Shocking news from the channel. Its that traffickers its emerged that traffickers are using ship flag emojis its emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship flag emojis its emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship and flag emojis its emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship and advertisejis to trick tiktok and advertise for illegal small boat for their illegal small boat crossings. Among the symbols crossings. Among the symbols being by the gangs are being adopted by the gangs are small boats and lorries, as well as the british and french flags and variety of landmarks. So and a variety of landmarks. So essentially posting essentially theyre posting videos online on tiktok, the social media platform adverts using their wares in order to get around the police and the border force and the regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot. |nd the regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot. Theyre regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot. Theyre usingtions and whatnot. Theyre using emojis to essentially get around that. So border force predicts that. So border force predicts that the next three months will follow a similar pattern to last yean follow a similar pattern to last year, when 51 of the record breaking 45,755 small boat arrivals, many of whom found passage through these social media adverts and they arrived in august, september and october. Now this comes as well as priti patel told gb news the government needs to clamp down on lefty lawyers who are abusing the system. So lets see what my the system. So lets see what my panel make of this as well. I mean , this emoji story used mean, this emoji story used emojis, darren, to get around tiktok rules, advertise guys, people smugglers. Weve known that traffickers have been using tiktok and other platforms for yonks. Now, why is this still happening . Its making a complete mockery of our border force. Force. It absolutely is. But i dont trust tiktok as far as i could do a jig on there and go viral for it. Ive been banned from tiktok. Theres an exclusive for viewers because , as you know, viewers because, as you know, saying things like a woman cant have a penis. Get thrown off have a penis. You get thrown off the platform, they allow you the platform, but they allow you to people trafficking wares to sell people trafficking wares and business on there. And i actually really worry that this is the chinese up to no good. I actually wouldnt be surprised if theyre saying, oh, lets turn a blind eye sort of turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. I know that sounds thing. And i know that sounds a bit conspiratorial, but i really do believe that tiktok is ultimately trying to ruin the west because china would ultimately be the beneficiaries of the west going mad on all of these issues. I mean, it certainly is nuts, the content. You can find on there. Steven on tiktok is very divisive. You have tiktok divisive. You have tiktok accounts that are basically encouraging and glorifying child transitioning. You have two different genders. You have accounts that are, well, just very nasty. And it its not a great conspiracy to say that this is actually something to attack the west with. I generally dont. I genuinely dont know about it. I thought tiktok was all about smirking cats doing funny things. It started out that way. But as all these things, they become highly political and they show the our society. The extremes of our society. They thats what do. They they thats what they do. They highlight our highlight the extremes of our society and them normal, society and make them normal, which think negatively impacts which i think negatively impacts our. But just on the our society. But just on the emojis and the fact that, you know, people traffickers are using tiktok to advertise their wares, to tout their business, essentially, its quite incredible. Does that put to bed the idea that every Single Person crossing in a dinghy over to this channel is a vulnerable victim of persecution . No. No. You can be vulnerable and still take advantage of it. But look, i think remember when look, i think i remember when you and i both london you and i were both at London School of economics. You were doing phd or masters or doing a phd or a masters or something, rather marvellous, not rather more not a phd, rather rather more than but i can still than me, but i can still remember my economics lecturer said, pure said, if you want to see pure capitalism, the mafia, capitalism, look at the mafia, look at them. They are the purest all capitalists. These purest of all capitalists. These people actually the people are actually gaming the system superbly every system superbly well and every day at holland where they day i look at holland where they dont problem because dont have this problem because they assess their they actually assess their immigrants on the point of arrival. They have a big place at Schiphol Airport and they deal it there. And then and deal with it there. And then and i just if only we could i just think if only we could have done this at the have actually done this at the beginning, every single beginning, because every single day ourselves to be day we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed the numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually� d the numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually dont. 1e numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually dont. Weiumbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually dont. We do bers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually dont. We do azrs and we actually dont. We do a disservice to those people who we help, who are we want to help, who are genuinely entitled. Are genuinely entitled. And we are just handing over just basically handing over money most evil, money to some of the most evil, vile girls ever made. And darren, we heard from priti patel earlier about how lawyers are there. She involved very much she do involved very much involved there. Theyre charging thousands of pounds to submit false asylum claims for illegal immigrants. Now, when you talk about lefty lawyers, you often get a lot of abuse. Youre called a conspiracy theorist. Youre called a bigot for even raising the issue that there might be activist lawyers might be some activist lawyers out who dont have the out there who dont have the best interests the british best interests of the british people at heart and who like to make buck out of out of make a quick buck out of out of asylum claims. There are legitimate concerns here because even clement attlee, former leader of the labour party, founder of the nhs and all rest of it, he had and all the rest of it, he had concerns about joining the echr because he actually it because he said actually it would britains would chip away at britains sovereignty. And would argue sovereignty. And i would argue that ultimately the echr has been responsible for that, where the british people , time after the british people, time after time demand border controls and actually a tightening of the number of people coming here. But we cant actually do that because time and time again our sovereignty keeps being infringed upon , in my view, by infringed upon, in my view, by this court or by the convention itself, where lawyers in this country are saying, lets use that convention to allow someone who may be a foreign dangerous offender from actually being deported from this country. So darren says the law is the problem. What about the lawyers themselves . Well, weve been here before, havent we . Do remember the iraq case . There was a particular firm of solicitors who made millions putting in these spurious claims for people saying that they were victims of iraq. I, victims of iraq. But look, i, i still it almost impossible still find it almost impossible to believe that were still talking when i was talking about this. When i was i deau talking about this. When i was i dealt with hundreds, if not thousands of immigration cases as an mp. And i was saying the other day i had there was a famous photograph of general petraeus, of petraeus, who was the head of the American Forces in afghanistan 4 people. Afghanistan with 3 or 4 people. And have seen times and i must have seen 20 times that picture would be given to me with photoshopped heads on it from i went to the from the people. I went to the home the Home Home Office and not the home office about it. Nothing. Office did about it. Nothing. Absolutely that the absolutely i think that is the gaping that well, that was between 1997 and 2019 has always been a bit useless, it seems. I mean, they cant protect our borders. Know side i dont know whose side theyre on. Theyre not on. Theyre on your side or theyre not on your side or my side. Theyre not on your side or my i ide. Theyre not on your side or my i dont know side i dont know whose side theyre they. Theyre on. Perhaps they. Perhaps lawyers who perhaps the lawyers side who knows . But thats all for this houn knows . But thats all for this hour. But not to worry. We have all news, debate and all the latest news, debate and analysis moment. Let analysis in just a moment. Let me what you think about the me know what you think about the fact that illegal traffickers are using to tout their are using tiktok to tout their business theyre by business and theyre doing it by using theyre getting using emojis. Theyre getting around is around the rules. It is absolute. A laughing absolute. Makes us a laughing stock, anyway, am stock, i think. Anyway, i am emily carver and youre watching stock, i think.

Our top im ray addison. Our top story this hour, former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has told gb news the government needs to clamp down on lefty lawyers to stop illegal migration. She says the attorney general and the lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave. Now, says the firms behave. Now, says the number of Channel Crossings continues to climb. More than 41,700 people intercepted in small boats so far this year. Dame priti has warning that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill. We need a deterrent factor for a start, and removals and returns. My rwanda plan was central to that. The returns agreements that i have put in place and others are now putting in place. We have to get planes leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally , you cant just get a free pass being firm is actually the stance that we should take, and that means removing people and returning to other third returning people to other third countries or country of origin as well. Dame pretty also spoke to Camilla Tominey about the net zero target, saying the government needs to press pause on the 2050 climate goal and put pubuc on the 2050 climate goal and put public are not ready for this. Public are not ready for this. And importantly, we cannot just have this state, the government , Central Government government, Central Government just sort of saying across again, institutions, local councils, county councils, this these are the targets that you have to meet when we dont have the technology , were not ready. The technology, were not ready. Now, if we want a sensible conversation about climate and the impact of climate change, recognising there are problems is one thing. Absolutely but making sure that we have the tools and the ability that doesnt impose costs and taxes on ordinary people , the energy on ordinary people, the energy and security secretary says he and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage iow. Row. Grant shapps told the sun that the problem stems from being a politically exposed person. He accused banks of going too far. It comes as mr farage launched a new website to help people who , like him, have help people who, like him, have had their Bank Accounts forcibly closed. The gb news presenter says 1000 accounts are being shut every day. What ive learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were , ive just been it were, ive just been inundated by Small Businesses , inundated by Small Businesses, by folk all around the country , by folk all around the country, people in absolute fear, terror lives being ruined. Thousands of businesses are being closed. The Prime Minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. The scheme , neighbourhoods. The scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas , has been seen residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an interview with the sunday telegraph , rishi the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports peoples right to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. Shadow International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Symonds saying the Prime Minister should leave the decision to local areas. Areas. Our position is that it is for community ses to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where by the way, there are communities up and down the country, you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods, whether it is in terms of you know, clean air zones. Weve talked obviously specifically about ulez. Yes, we certainly believe ulez. Yes, we certainly believe a well planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing. Neighbourhood is a good thing. And the hs2 programme has been given a red rating by the infrastructure watchdog. It believes the timetable for construction of the first two phases of the rail line thats from london to birmingham and then on to crewe are unachieved. All the ipas annual report ,. All the ipas annual report, which followed the resignation of chief executive Mark Thurston cites made major issues with the schedule and the budget. Hs2 was initially slated to open in 2026. This has now been delayed by p 2026. This has now been delayed by up to seven years. This is gb news. Well bring you more as it happens. Now lets get back to emily and gb news. Sunday thank you very much, ray. So im on the side of drivers, says the Prime Minister , as he orders the Prime Minister, as he orders a review of low traffic neighbourhood plans designed to limit traffic in town and city centres. The department for transport will review the policies , which include policies, which include preventing drivers from using residential roads as through routes to encourage them to use other modes of transport, like bicycles , presumably so news bicycles, presumably so gb News Reporter lisa hartle has been following story and joins us following the story and joins us from hackney, where there are many ltns. Lisa, thank many of these ltns. Lisa, thank you very much indeed. So rishi you very much indeed. So rishi sunak has come out quite strong. He says. I am sunak has come out quite strong. He says. I am on sunak has come out quite strong. He says. I am on motorists side he says. I am on motorists side. I am on your side. He says. I am on motorists side. I am on your side. So hes. I am on your side. So hes leading this review to yeah , so leading this review to yeah, so were in hackney, which is has the largest proportion of these uns the largest proportion of these ltns low traffic neighbourhoods zones covering about 70 of the borough. So ive been speaking to some of the people who live around here about these these zones. You can see a road behind me thats one of those thats affected. So if a driver goes down there that doesnt have a permit, so doesnt live here, then they could receive a fine of around £60. Cameras of around £60. Theres cameras just but the residents of around £60. Theres cameras just ive but the residents of around £60. Theres cameras just ive been but the residents of around £60. Theres cameras just ive been speakingisidents of around £60. Theres cameras just ive been speaking to,ants of around £60. Theres cameras just ive been speaking to, one that ive been speaking to, one lady that she says she lady said that she says she doesnt think its working because will mount because motorbikes will mount the to try and avoid the pavement to try and avoid getting caught by the camera. Which of course, she said is more dangerous her. She says more dangerous for her. She says she it because if she doesnt like it because if shes out, for shes on a night out, for example, gets back at early example, gets back at the early hours she gets hours of the morning, she gets an uber back. She cant be dropped off at home. And so its not safe for to walk up the not safe for her to walk up the street get in. Another lady street to get in. Another lady i spoke was in favour of spoke to, she was in favour of this. She said before these came into play, there a lot of into play, there was a lot of traffic down here. So traffic going down here. So of course, whole point of these course, the whole point of these is and improve air is to try and improve air quality for People Living in areas like this, she said. People people their people more people take their children bikes children to school using bikes and but then and things like that. But then there someone else spoke there was someone else i spoke to said she thinks the to and she said she thinks the problem is its pushing. Yes it reduces places like reduces traffic in places like this, the traffic out this, pushing the traffic out into areas. She said into other areas. But she said into other areas. But she said in her opinion, its pushing traffic from affluent areas such as areas where as this one into areas where theres people who have theres People Living who have less money. And causing them theres People Living who have less rof 1ey. And causing them theres People Living who have less rof 1e problem causing them theres People Living who have less rof 1e problem forusing them theres People Living who have less rof 1e problem for them. hem theres People Living who have less rof 1e problem for them. Ifem more of a problem for them. If theres congestion on the theres more congestion on the roads, then said, its roads, then she said, then its causing air pollution roads, then she said, then its cauother air pollution roads, then she said, then its cauother people. Air pollution roads, then she said, then its cauother people. So ir pollution roads, then she said, then its cauother people. So itsollution for other people. So its obviously a very controversial issue and the review that rishi sunak ordered the department sunak has ordered the department for to into for transport to look into how will this all works and what what impact it is having will be an interesting one, though its not clear even if the what not clear yet even if the what the review finds, its not clear as to the government the review finds, its not clear as t what happens. Rishi sunak at least has says has said hes on the side motorists. Whatever the side of motorists. Whatever that very much that means. Thank you very much indeed. News. Reporter lisa indeed. Gb news. Reporter lisa hartle live hackney, hartle there live from hackney, where ltns where there are many, many ltns andifs where there are many, many ltns and its dividing the public as you imagine. But moving on you can imagine. But moving on to something a little bit related, the government will meet week meet energy bosses this week ahead of revealing uks plan for Energy Security. It includes committing new oil and gas committing to new oil and gas licences in the north sea. Thats despite ongoing protests from likes of Just Stop Oil from the likes of Just Stop Oil who want to see absolutely no new oil and gas drilling. Its likely hell also announce plans to millions pounds into to pour millions of pounds into Carbon Capture projects in scotland. Thats to make the scotland. Thats to make the drilling all a little bit greener. The Prime Minister and energy secretary, grant shapps, will meet top figures from the oil and gas renewable and Nuclear Industries over the course shapps course of the week. Shapps hoping shapps is hoping to revive Nuclear Energy within the uk as part of this big plan. Of course , that comes after the course, that comes after the anger about londons ulez expansion. So i can now speak expansion. So i can now speak with the Deputy Director of net zero. Watch andrew mumford. Andrew thank you very much indeed. Andrew thank you very much indeed. I mean, good news for indeed. I mean, good news for you probably that the Prime Minister is giving the go ahead to new oil and Gas Exploration. Do you think all this money going into Carbon Capture is a good thing . Is it money well spent . Spent . Carbon capture is its a bit of a fig leaf, really. Carbon capture has been tried around the world. Theres been lots of sort of pilot plants built. Sort of pilot plants built. Theyve all been sick , theyve all been sick, significant failures. Essentially they use so much energy in trying to capture the carbon that the electricity, the power they produce then is unaffordable. Unaffordable. All theyve been made to work expensively, if you like , but expensively, if you like, but only for coal power , a coal only for coal power, a coal fired power stations. Theyve never been made to work for gas fired power stations, which is what we have in the uk. We have almost no coal at all. So this is coal left at all. So this is this is really a fig leaf. This is so the government can pretend to still be green while actually carrying on with with Gas Exploration in the north sea. Thats what thats what i suspected. But also why do we, suspected. But also why do we, the taxpayer, have to pay for Carbon Capture . Presumably if its this fantastic technology , its this fantastic technology, the industry itself would want to pay for it . To pay for it . Well, at the end of the day, we pay for it. Whatever happens, it either comes through our taxes or it comes through our taxes or it comes through our taxes or it comes through higher bills. At the end of the day, the fact is that the power produced with Carbon Capture will be more expensive power produced expensive than power produced without it. So of course without it. So and of course then there are then knock on problems because of course the pnces problems because of course the prices in the electricity market are set by the gas fired power stations. So essentially all the wind farms then get a higher price from the consumer as well. So lose for the so its lose lose for the consumer. Yeah. Um, and when win for everybody else, guess now weve heard a lot from oil and Gas Companies who are still up in the north sea. Theyre thinking about essentially, well , moving to essentially, well, moving to other areas of the world because theyre being taxed so heavily. These windfall taxes that came out of the blue. How bad is the situation as it stands . Our Oil Situation as it stands . Our oil and Gas Companies still committed to drilling in the nonh committed to drilling in the north sea , or are they north sea, or are they reassessing their options . Reassessing their options . They really are reassessing their options. Weve had several Major Oil Companies saying that essentially they are going to stop new investment in the north sea. Um, and so that means that sea. Um, and so that means that we will we will import oil and gas from other countries , which gas from other countries, which is guess is fine to an extent its, its a bit of a Security Risk and its if youre if youre green minded its got higher Carbon Emissions associated with it too. But the associated with it too. But the whole of uk Energy Policy is grinding to a halt. Its self contradictory. So were you self contradictory. So were you know we are if you like were were forcing the country to move to renewables in a big way, which gives us very expensive electricity at the same time, were trying to electrify everything in the economy now , everything in the economy now, how are you going to electrify everything in the economy if your electricity is really, really expensive . I mean , its really expensive . I mean, its a nonsense. Nonsense. And just very quickly, what really annoys me about all this is that we can pour millions into Carbon Capture, which, as you say, will probably make our energy bills more expensive, or at least our taxes higher. But its not going to have the slightest difference to the global temperature, is it . Slightest difference to the global temperature, is it . I mean, we know that were responsible for less than 1 of emissions. So as long as china continues to build coal mines , continues to build coal mines, then, you know, its whats it all for . It does seem like virtue signalling that is exactly what it is. The government has actually been pretty clear about this, that this is about showing our leadership. So all this money that that people all in this country are being told they have to spend. And i mean, these are huge sums of money. You know, tens of thousands of pounds per household. These are being spent so that our political leaders can demonstrate leadership. Now, the fact that the rest of the world isnt following their leadership, or at least most of the rest of the world isnt certainly places like china and russia arent. And these are the big. Um, it just it , big emitters. Um, it just it, its a kick in the teeth really, for for, people at home in this country who are going we are going to become a poor country. Theres no doubt about this. You know, cannot be a wealthy know, you cannot be a wealthy country if you have expensive electricity. There are no electricity. There are no wealthy countries that have expensive energy. Well, thats expensive energy. Well, thats very, very going to have to get used to being poor. Thats a very good point. Thank you very much indeed. Andrew mumford there, Deputy Director of net zero. Watch. So i to get my panels opinion i want to get my panels opinion on andrew had to say there. On what andrew had to say there. Stephen youre a bit of a green bean. Oh, youre probably delighted about Carbon Capture. About this Carbon Capture. No, no investment. No, no. No, no investment. No, no. No, no investment. No, no. I think the problem we got here is just just when the conservatives, for example, when they brought in ulez and when they brought in ulez and when the conservative mayor brought ulez didnt think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. Didnt think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. The didnt think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. The thingdnt think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. The thing aboutink it through. The thing about carbon is thats two Carbon Capture is thats two thirds equation. Its thirds of the equation. Its Carbon Capture and storage. Once youve got these millions of cubic what the cubic metres of gas, what the hell you do with them . And hell do you do with them . And the original suggestion was that you them in disused you put them in disused coal mines. Somebody said, mines. Then somebody else said, put the vacuum thats put them in the vacuum thats been left after extraction been left after the extraction of but as far as im of north sea. But as far as im concerned, looked at that concerned, if you looked at that picture youve just shown, picture that youve just shown, your also gas being your view is also of gas being flared in the power station flared off in the power station thatis flared off in the power station that is the worst possible thing. The sooner we get onto nuclear clean, secure, nuclear good, clean, secure, safe, nuclear good, clean, secure, saf well, thats likely to be announced to more nuclear investment. Lets for that. But well, lets go for that. But the about Energy Security the thing about Energy Security is very important. Germany is very important. When germany invested 2, which is very important. When germany ingoing 2, which is very important. When germany ingoing to 2, which is very important. When germany ingoing to be 2, which is very important. When germany ingoing to be this 2, which is very important. When germany ingoing to be this direct2, which is going to be this direct pipeline, know, from from pipeline, as you know, from from russia hamburg, that makes russia to hamburg, that makes them thrall putin. Weve them in thrall to putin. Weve got have some sort energy got to have some sort of Energy Security. And got the security. And weve got the possibility for solar power. Weve and weve got tidal wind and nuclear. Lets go for that. Lets have our own lets have instead of electricite de france, lets have Electric City de grande bretagne, patriotic electricity. Electricity. Yeah, thats right. Yeah, thats right. With a flag on it. With a flag on it. This puts the labour party in a little bit of a tricky situation because theyve been equivocating over oil and gas. Keir starmer said no new oil and gas, which is what . Just stop oil want. But then the trade unions said, well, hang on mate , thats going to cost us thousands and thousands of jobs, not least up in scotland, where the north sea is. So what does he do with this . Because hes pro Carbon Capture, presumably , pro Carbon Capture, presumably, but not oil and gas. Pro Carbon Capture, presumably, but not oil and gas. Absolutely. But not oil and gas. Absolutely. So youve got Mark Drakeford is the first minister in wales who is arguing as well as sadiq khan with the labour leadership, and theyre trying to work out a position hes taken more positions than the kamasutra. Positions than the kamasutra. Its absurd, but i actually think, you know, what andrew said there in your interview where he was talking about leadership. I tell you where leadership. I tell you where i want leadership. I want leadership. In cases like barbara bolton, who was 87in greater manchester, she died last winter because of the sheer size of the energy bills that were coming through. For people like barbara and she was too scared to put the heating on, even though her family begged her to do so. And you said, you know, well and that was the inquiry that found that well look into paying that for you. You know, please put the heating on. And you know, please put the heating on. And she didnt. She was terrified to death. Terrified and scared to death. And people that and weve got people like that emily in this country, which is considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world, too afraid to put the heating on. I just think that that is a disgrace. It makes me really angry. I cant tell you. You know what annoys me about our politicians . They say were one of the richer countries in the ergo we should spend the world, ergo we should spend lots of money on being the pioneers of net zero and reaching our climate targets as quickly as possible. Well, actually , per capita, people actually, per capita, people arent feeling that rich. Absolutely. When they see their bills go up. And were already bills go up. And were already getting warnings about this winter coming that bills could be rising very high indeed. And well be extremely expensive. Stephen, how do we square this circle . Most people watching and listening this show want our planet to be greener. They want us all to live in a hospitable environment. Us all to live in a hospitable environment. But us all to live in a hospitable environment. But net zero environment. But net zero policies, theyre not going to change the temperature of the climate. Are they really . What do we do here . I have to say its marvellous to hear you agreeing. So online with tony blair. I mean, tony blair made a Statement Last week. I think, you know, for all that a controversial figure that hes a controversial figure and was and everything. It was an incredibly important statement. And everything. It was an incisaidly important statement. And everything. It was an incisaid inimportant statement. And everything. It was an incisaid inimp lastt statement. And everything. It was an incisaid inimp last eightament. And everything. It was an incisaid inimp last eight years, he said in the last eight years, china emitted more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe emitted more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole ed more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of thise carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of this countryl than the whole of this country since the first day of the industrial revolution. Therefore, in the therefore, how can we in the developed world say the developed world say to the developing world, we you to developing world, we want you to tighten belts and we want tighten your belts and we want you to stop doing this when we have actually taken the benefits and advantage. What tony and the advantage. And what tony blair this is blair is saying, this is a global this is Global Global problem. This is global boiling. What you boiling. Call it what you want, but cant solve on our but we cant solve it on our own. That doesnt mean that we shouldnt light a candle and just darkness. We just curse the darkness. We should do something should actually do something about weve to about it. But weve got to recognise that to be a recognise that there has to be a global solution. Now china global solution. Now if china simply were going to simply says were not going to stop new coal fired stop building new coal fired power earth do power stations, what on earth do we do . About what . I dont think theres theres no such about what . I dont think there as theres no such about what . I dont think there as a theres no such about what . I dont think thereas a globalheres no such about what . I dont think thereas a global solution. Such thing as a global solution. Well, there be. Well, there has to be. Well, there has to be. Emily. Emily. There has to be. Im sorry. There has to be. Im sorry. Just not how politics thats just not how politics works. And you know that when countries things. Countries dont agree on things. The moment. Well, not at the moment. Well, not at the moment. I mean, the European Union cant agree on their global boiling, though. You, blood is i tell you, my blood is boiling. Never mind global boiling. Never mind global boiling. These attempts boiling. Never mind global boiliterrify these attempts boiling. Never mind global boiliterrify the iese attempts boiling. Never mind global boiliterrify the british empts boiling. Never mind global boiliterrify the British Public. Just terrify the British Public. You you watch the news you know, you watch the news these days and you all the these days and you hit all the time with blackened out maps where it looks more like saurons mordor than it does a map of the world. Its i find the whole thing really quite sinister if im brutally honest with you. Emily, where is this . Where are these millions coming from that were putting into all of these various investments . There isnt enough in the way of copper , lithium and all the rest copper, lithium and all the rest of it for the solar panels, for the wind farms , for the whole, the wind farms, for the whole, were borrowing. Were just borrowing. Exactly. Its just its not to going come. Coming from to going come. Its coming from nowhere. Were hide and nowhere. Were on a hide and nothing. And the working nothing. And its the working class that are going to suffer the if there are any the most if there are any engineers physicians or at engineers or physicians or at home know about carbon home who know about Carbon Capture, please get in touch. Capture, please do get in touch. Mean that you lose does it mean that you lose quite a bit of the energy along the process . Id be the way with the process . Id be quite interested. Ive seen figures about 20 figures about you lose about 20 of energy that it costs to of the energy that it costs to be happy to be fact checked on that. So you are losing some of the energy that youre producing. But there you go. All for the planet. You can get lots more on that story and all our other big stories on of the day on our website. Gbnews. Com is the growing national the Fastest Growing National News country. News website in the country. Its the analysis and its got the best analysis and opinion as well as all the latest breaking news. It latest breaking news. Give it a go. With gb news go. Youre with gb news sunday with emily carvel. Weve got with me, emily carvel. Weve got lots more coming up on todays show. As around 6000 show. So sad news as around 6000 shops closed down in shops have closed down in britain in just the past five years as Business Rates covid lockdowns all being held lockdowns are all being held responsible. Whats solution responsible. Whats the solution 7 responsible. Whats the solution . And sir keir starmer has defined a woman as an adult female. Well, hey, well be discussing that as well. Is that his last u turn . Well all his last u turn . Well see all of that more to come. Im of that and more to come. Im emily carver, youre emily carver, and youre watching and listening channel welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv onune with me, emily carver on your tv online and radio. Now we have some sad news. According to the British Consortium around British Retail Consortium around 6000 shops have closed in 6000 shops have closed down in britain the past five britain in just the past five years overall vacancy years with the overall vacancy increasing of increasing since the start of this chief exec of the this year. The chief exec of the British Consortium British Retail Consortium consortium has crippling consortium has claimed crippling Business Rates and the covid lockdowns these lockdowns have been key to these closures the latest figures closures with the latest figures released for the Second Quarter of showing that the of this year showing that the vacancy the uks vacancy rate for the uks high streets 13. 9. Streets now stands at 13. 9. Thats up a bit on the last three months. So Alex Schlagman founding the Founding Partner of save the high org, now. High street org, joins me now. Who better to talk to . So its pretty sad state of affairs that 13. 9 of shops are essentially well closed not being used. Id well closed not being used. Id have had to be closed down. Do you agree with the assessment that this is knock on effect of lockdowns and then also Business Rates. Rates. Well, firstly, emily, it is sad that every every time a business closes clearly, but to look at the overall impact on high streets, weve got to look at the full picture of both openings and closings. So in terms of closings , so in terms of closings, closures on the high street , you closures on the high street, you know, were seeing signific numbers over the last five years. And in terms of the openings, the reality is that Large National brands have stopped growing and many of them have very publicly disappeared from our high streets for 18 of the independent sector has closed year on year. But 14 has opened. Closed year on year. But 14 has opened. Now, what we need to do opened. Now, what we need to do next is we need to increase the rate of businesses opening on high streets and clearly reduce the number of those closings. Weve got to look at both sides of the coin and why should we care if people are getting their products from elsewhere or from onune . The amazons of this world . Oh, no, alex has gone. Oh, i was oh, no, alex has gone. Oh, i was going to ask him why. We need to care about the high street going down. Well see if we can get alex back. Luckily enough, alex back. But luckily enough, i have darren and stephen here to answer the question for me. Darren, we that the darren, should we care that the high street all these closed high street has all these closed shops its dwindling shops on it, that its dwindling , doing very well . , that its not doing very well . Well, look, emily, i mean, you know, especially in the north east, of course, up you know, especially in the nort down t, of course, up you know, especially in the nort down the of course, up you know, especially in the nort down the country, rse, up you know, especially in the nort down the country, napoleon, and down the country, napoleon, once he, that once said, didnt he, that england a nation of england is a nation of shopkeepers. Much anymore shopkeepers. Not so much anymore. So but the one saving grace, the only positive i can think out of all of this will be that actually maybe that the stock can be turned into housing because have because cause actually we have a really chronic shortage of housing this country, but housing in this country, but things like Business Rates need to looked those to be looked at to save those who struggling. And smes who are struggling. And smes right small, medium right now, small, Medium Enterprises and there has to be a way in which we make a plus out of this because youre not going to get the football back on the high street. I mean, you must know the metro centre. Stephen in gateshead , you look, stephen in gateshead, you look, iused stephen in gateshead, you look, i used to work there a decade ago. Darren. Well hear about that in just one moment. But we have alex back. Alex. Alex can you tell us thank you for coming back. Can you tell us why we should about the high should care about the high street we have other street when we have other opfions street when we have other options available to us . Well, look, high streets, the Heartbeat Community and heartbeat of local community and local economy. You know, where we are at the moment is not the high street. We should be looking towards for the future. We high street thats we need a high street thats much more experiential, more community driven, more locally focussed, the needs of focussed, serving the needs of the community than it does the local community than it does today. You hollow out and today. But if you hollow out and you take the high street away, you take the high street away, you lose a massive platform for entrepreneurs ownership and you really basically you, you , you, really basically you, you, you, you inject all kinds of energy into the local economy when you stimulate the high street. Now every vacant space is an opportunity ity to improve the high street, get the right businesses in the right places, doing the right things. So we doing the right things. So we need to look at the positive from this as well. Yes, theres nothing more depressing than walking depressing thing than walking past through a high past walking through a high street you see is street where all you see is boarded shops and very boarded up shops and very miserable and not many people out and about. Miserable and not many people out and about. A roaring high out and about. A roaring high street is a lovely thing and its something thats for Great Community spirit and an elderly people as well who can actually chat to people instead of sitting at home behind a computer doing their shopping. Computer doing their shopping. Its essential. But i do wonder, can we personalise this a little bit, alex what stories have you heard from businesses that have had to unfortunately close their doors . Im sure there are shops doors . Im sure there are shops that have on local that have been on their local high decades who have high street for decades who have finally had to say, you know what, were making a loss for too long. Cant keep too long. We just cant keep open. Yeah, yeah. And you know, savethehighstreet. Org was supporting thousands of businesses around the uk at various stages of their journey and, you know, when it comes down to it, were not just talking about a big Faceless Corporation here. Were talking about livelihoods. Corporation here. Were talking about talking livelihoods. Corporation here. Were talking about talking aboutihoods. Corporation here. Were talking about talking about peoples were talking about peoples hopes and dreams and the reality is that, you know, when youre in a situation where the costs like the business rate challenges and covid hits at the same time and the Energy Crisis hits at the same time, a number of businesses have had to take difficult decisions not to continue, but many others have fought on and actually , there is fought on and actually, there is another side of the story. There another side of the story. There are lots of growing independents out there who just need access to the space support to to the space and support to really fulfil their potential. Now thank you very much indeed, Alex Schlagman, Founding Partner of save the street. Org. Of save the high street. Org. Keep doing what youre doing. It sounds youre doing some sounds like youre doing some good stuff there. Just good stuff there. Stephen just very just your very quickly, to just get your view you think its view on this, do you think its game over for the high street . Covid the snail in the covid was the snail in the coffin . No, absolutely not. You know, the Retail Experience changes over but look, over the years. But look, i think you said something incredibly what incredibly important that what could depressing than could be more depressing than a whole world of tinned shops whole world of tinned up shops closed that will closed down because that will lead lead to lead to crime. It will lead to people around in there. People hanging around in there. Itll just general itll just give that general sense some sort of dystopic sense of some sort of dystopic world is falling down world which is falling down about ears. That the about your ears. And that is the important second important thing. The second thing all these small thing is that if all these small shops you the shops close, you know, the butcher, the baker and the greengrocer and everybody is forced big supermarket, forced into one big supermarket, firstly got drive to firstly youve got to drive to the thing, is rather the thing, which is rather counter what counter indicative from what were talking about on. Were talking about earlier on. And secondly, gives an and secondly, that gives an incredible power to the supermarkets. They can actually control market, can control the market, they can actually prices. So actually control the prices. So look credit to the look and give credit to the government.

Enjoy the rest of your bye. Your day. Bye bye. Warm feeling inside from that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. Proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Welcome back to sunday with me emily carver on your tv onune me emily carver on your tv online and radio. So nigel farage has been clocking up the winds this week, hasnt he . In response to his campaign . The government stepping its government is stepping up its crackdown banks that block crackdown on banks that block accounts the basis accounts on the basis of customers views. Thats amid treasury plans to extend closure rules businesses , the rules to businesses, the telegraph reports. Ministers are proposing give business proposing banks give business account least 90 days account holders at least 90 days nofice account holders at least 90 days notice termination. That notice of termination. That would nice and with an would be nice and with an explanation of their explanation of why their accounts were closed. So gb news accounts were closed. So gb news is nigel farage called for is nigel farage has called for a culture across the entire culture change across the entire Bank Industry following the closure of his account. Of course, now i want to see what my panel make of all this and in particular, what this has done for Nigel Farages reputation across the political spectrum. Hes had a pretty good three weeks, hasnt he . Stephen well, its not bad, is it . I reckon hes behind all this. I believe in a good conspira sea from no, no, no. I cannot believe the ceo happened to be sitting at dinner next on july the 3rd this year next to the bbcs political correspondent. Oh by the way, you know, he didnt have enough money the account. Its money in the bank account. Its too to be true. But nigel too good to be true. But nigel farage, some ways farage, i mean, in some ways hes the gift that keeps on giving. Just when you think hes like duracell bunny on like the duracell bunny keeps on racing, those racing, all those things, those those knocked them those toys, you knocked them down. Came again. This down. Up they came again. This hes on a slightly serious note. Hes really hes doing some really important, here. Important, serious work here. Who about de banking . Id who knew about de banking . Id never heard of it. Know when i never heard of it. I know when i was in in Northern Ireland, i had some trouble with my mobile phone. And was told, oh, yes, phone. And i was told, oh, yes, you know, youre a high priority customer. And i said, what does you know, youre a high priority cust well, you go. Whats well, there you go. Whats to add that, add to that, darren . Absolutely. Well, absolutely. Well, absolutely. Do think hes done some i do think hes done some sterling work, i think its sterling work, and i think its really important to also highlight its just highlight that its not just banking right . Runs banking, right . This runs through it going to end . Through whens it going to end . Are going have energy are we going to have Energy Companies saying, well, actually you so im you voted for brexit. So im going to off your supply . Going to shut off your supply . There are so many ways in which actually its just actually i think its just inherently your inherently wrong for your politics to come into the equafion politics to come into the equation here. You know what i am do you know what i am interested in . Recruitment, in the jobs market . How much do you think your views are assessed when you apply for a job and should they be . So, for example, if someone whod been vocal on twitter about politics, maybe centre right, god forbid , and centre right, god forbid, and then applied to be a teacher , then applied to be a teacher, where do you think thered be a problem there . Well, it entirely depends on what it is. I mean, what we now have in politics, i think there would be well, dont forget, we now have due because what Due Diligence because what happens dig happens nowadays, people dig deeply, into peoples deeply, deeply into peoples social lot of politicians are and a lot of politicians are prospective politicians who have been selected for constituencies today this today are going through this immensely of immensely deep, deep trawl of everything theyve ever said. And, know, weve all said and, you know, weve all said stupid. Know about stupid. Well, i dont know about you youre probably above you two. Youre probably above this i said this sort of thing. But i said some fairly stupid things down the pub. Im not talking about politicians least politicians because at least theyre talk about politics. No, no, no. No, no, no. Their tweets should be assessed there to assessed and theyre there to represent. Talking represent. But im talking about the who applies the everyday person who applies for using teacher as for a job. Im using teacher as an example because i think thats particularly politicised sometimes times. But if youve been youre been talking about how youre a brexiteer about your concerns brexiteer or about your concerns about migrants your about channel migrants or your gender critical meaning you dont think someone can change their sex, do you think that youd find hard to get a youd find it hard to get a job in a state school . I mean, you absolutely. I mean, you mentioned earlier in mentioned youve had earlier in the from the free the show someone from the Free Speech Union on and he was saying, look, weve business is going quite well for us. Actually know, are actually you know, people are actually saying we need this union to exist because there is such a problem when it comes to speech and debate , where if you speech and debate, where if you are found to have dared say certain things like women dont have a penis or i dont know, maybe youre sceptical of net zero, maybe youve sent a tweet or two about how much you like brexit, it and all of these things are ticked against you and youve got the people assessing Bank Accounts and things at the top, the very top saying actually youre politically exposed. Youve tweeted this, youve said that. Tweeted this, youve said that. And its really, really incredibly dangerous because it creates a proper chilling effect. Its a whole industry. Do you think that theres people sitting there hour after hour, going back through peoples twitter account . You know, its just embarrassing. If just embarrassing. But if somebody something which somebody says something which is stone racist, then i think maybe you actually say that you should actually say that that influence but that should influence you. But to say your views on brexit to say that your views on brexit should a determinant factor should be a determinant factor when getting job down when you get getting a job down the i mean, forget the council, i mean, forget it. Thats birds. Thats for the birds. Yeah, its diversity is king. Apart the diversity of apart from the diversity of thought speech , i think its thought and speech, i think its quite incredible how i think its quite incredible how nigel farage managed to garner farage has managed to garner support from across the political spectrum. Support from across the politic course, rum. Support from across the politic course, he 1. Support from across the politic course, he is divisive of course, he is a divisive figure and hes managed to get many would normally many people who would normally not him on anything not agree with him on anything to actually fight his corner on this one. And nigel has shone a light on this issue that a lot of people didnt really know about. But it turns out its impacting tens of thousands of people. But were going to be moving on to scotland in the latest in the campaign for scotlands second once in a generation referendum, the first minister of scotland has plans for citizenships and passports for citizenships and passports for an independent scotland. But for an independent scotland. But opposition msps in holyrood arent best pleased with the proposals. They claim its a waste of taxpayers money. I think id agree with that. But lets speak to the Political Editor of Scottish Daily editor of the Scottish Daily mail, michael blackley. Michael, thank you very much. So it seems that humza yousaf has been very busy since becoming first minister of scotland. Hes coming up with all these nice plans for what an independent scotland might look like, all the to down the colour of passport. Yes, this was another one of these. What the Scottish Government tried to make quite big occasions when they release these papers, the blueprint for independence, and certainly in the in the early days, certainly in the when the white paper was launched last time around , way launched last time around, way back in 2013, i remember it being a huge occasion when that white paper was launched. White paper was launched. But these days its not really i mean, they might attempt to get a lot of News Coverage from it. They may attempt to make it lead the agenda and setting out these these plans. But a lot of people really look at them and think what is going on here . You know, why why scottish why why is the Scottish Government much time government devoting so much time to this when it doesnt look like theres any chance of there being referendum any time being a referendum any time soon . So what we saw when humza yousaf unveiled this plan was that he got a bit of a backlash from both sides, perhaps not surprise that the pro union parties are saying why is he distracted . Why is he wasting distracted . Why is he wasting time and self indulge urgent plans like this. But there was also a little bit of a backlash from within the pro indy side as well, because people there were some people who felt that this isnt to going shift the dial, you know, humza yousaf of producing a paper that says well bring back a burgundy red passport isnt really going to make any difference whatsoever to how many people support independence. No , i suppose not. No, i suppose not. No, i suppose not. And if Nicola Sturgeon didnt manage to find a route to Scottish Independence , its for Scottish Independence, its for national lists, then i very much doubt humza yousaf is going to be able to do it, particularly as his his nickname is humza useless. He doesnt seem to be doing particularly well when it comes to the opinion polls. Am i right . Right. Well, i think hes really struggling to keep things together. In complete fairness together. In complete fairness to humza yousaf , its probably to humza yousaf, its probably not his fault at all. You know, hes taking taken over a party where the first minister at the time, possibly had some of what the difficulties were, some of the difficulties were, some of the dissent was hid from the public. People didnt really appreciate that there was a section of the snp that were a bit disgruntled at the way that the party has been run and ever since hes come into power, humza yousaf has faced day after day, crisis after crisis. S and day, crisis after crisis. S and of course thats going to have an impact on, on polling of, of course he doesnt have the pubuc course he doesnt have the public persona that Nicola Sturgeon did. So thats, thats going to be difficult for him as well. So hes hes had a pretty difficult time in fairness to him, though. I mean , he has been him, though. I mean, he has been a little bit more open and a little bit more transparent , a little bit more transparent, a little bit more transparent, a little bit more honest perhaps about some of what has gone wrong within the snp in recent times. So wrong within the snp in recent times. So openness, wrong within the snp in recent times. So openness, openness wrong within the snp in recent times. So openness, openness and transparency is our our phrases that we havent really used that much in describing the snp in recent years. Im surprised you. Im surprised you say that because when i think of humza yousaf, i always think of his attempted crackdowns on free speech and that doesnt always go hand in hand with trans apparency but there you go. Thank you very much for bringing us up to date on that. Michael blackley from the mail the Scottish Daily mail Political Editor there. So were going move on straight to our going to move on straight to our last of the show, last story of the show, a victory for common sense, perhaps, sir Keir Starmers latest u turn is that he has finally accepted a woman is an aduu finally accepted a woman is an Adult Human Female. So i want to Adult Human Female. So i want to get straight into this with my panel because i know we feel very passionately about this. Now, of keir starmer got now, of course, keir starmer got into of trouble when he into a bit of trouble when he well, he equivocated and avoided the question for a while. This was when every politician under the sun was being asked, what is a woman . And then he said Something Like 99. 9 of women of i think that was ed davey. Women have a men have a penis. I cant remember what he said , but he remember what he said, but he said in 99 of the cases that is the case. But that was ed davey said that. Well, no, i think keir starmer said that too. Yeah, theyve been reading. Theyve been reading the same notebook singing. Worries that worries me. That worries me. You what do well, what are you what do you of this u turn . Well, you make of this u turn . Well, look, im actually of the view here again, going to that here again, going back to that point earlier, sir keir point i made earlier, sir keir starmer really has taken more positions you you positions than you know. You take too u turns , emily take too many u turns, emily quickly up in u bend. Quickly end up in the u bend. And but clearly thats not going the way it is for sir keir starmer. But ill tell you who i think of at this moment. The mp for canterbury. Whos rosie duffy. Now, rosie has been put through the mill, right . She has suffered intensely. She spoke up as a woman who survived domestic violence. And she just said, look, i think single sex spaces like womens refuges are really important. Its important to protect them. And for saying that she wasnt offered any support by the labour party, they basically ignored her, pushed her to one side. Shes a problem. Lets ignore her. Despite the abuse, the threats that she was receiving, she couldnt even go to her own parties conference. Emily now wears fryston, whos a Shadow Health secretary has since now this week, i believe apologised to rosie and i think thats about time the labour party should have been behind her all along because what shes saying isnt some swivel eyed bigotry. Isnt some swivel eyed bigotry. Its offering biological truth , its offering biological truth, fact and the protection of women and single sex spaces. Stephen i cant imagine you have much in common with some of the backbenchers now in the labour party who seem to think that women can be men, men can be women and theres no need to think theres some people be women and theres no need to thinitie theres some people be women and theres no need to thinitie themselves some people be women and theres no need to thinitie themselves inne people be women and theres no need to thinitie themselves in knotsyple be women and theres no need to thinitie themselves in knots over this. Yeah, they really try to make themselves and always this terrible that somebody is terrible fear that somebody is going to come over the shoulder and youre and say, you know, youre insufficiently woke on this one. Look, very courageous look, rosie is a very courageous woman the only woman and shes also the only labour weve theres labour mp weve got. Theres no tory around tory mps anywhere around canterbury, should canterbury, you know, she should have been given much more support. Absolutely. Question support. Absolutely. No question about that. No question at all. But the basic fact about but i think the basic fact about that was making that she was making was actually, remember, it actually, if you remember, it came to light in scotland, the isla i forget her name, the isla bryson. Isla bryson, you know, which pretty down pretty much brought down formerly adam graham, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly� n graham, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly� n rapist,1, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly� n rapist, i formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly� n rapist, i thinkzrly and formerly a rapist, i think we double. We can say that double. Its matter of fact, you its a matter of fact, you know, and that actually brought down the previous Scottish Government. This is the government. And this is the toxicity issue. On toxicity of this issue. Why on earth are we tying ourselves up in were agonising over in this . Were agonising over something surely to god is something that surely to god is pretty i pretty straightforward. And i think a number of people, think when a number of people, including lets frank , two including lets be frank, two labour mps were abusive to Rosie Duffield of the duffield on the floor of the house and were making unpleasant comments should comments about it. They should be think rosie be ashamed. I think Rosie Duffield deserves support. They deserve duffield deserves support. They deswell, thats good hear well, thats good to hear from you, stephen. Yeah, very good what do you good indeed. Darren what do you make this . Just lastly, make of this . Just lastly, Bigger Picture wise, keir starmer obviously decided starmer is obviously decided that electorally it makes sense for him actually just say for him to actually just say what is a fact at this stage. Hes hes moving away from the extreme woke ideas on this, it seems. But his list of u turns now before hes even got into power, if he gets into power, is as long as his arm on everything from green schemes to taxes is to whatever else. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. So there is a question there, which is the British Public saying, can we actually trust this man . Can we actually believe what hes going to say . Because he said to one thing to labour members. Now hes since reversed position on that labour members. Now hes since reveweve position on that labour members. Now hes since reveweve justysition on that labour members. Now hes since reveweve just been on that labour members. Now hes since reveweve just been talkingt and weve just been talking about yousaf. If its about humza yousaf. If its a similar there where similar situation there where hes appease the hes trying to appease the nationalist Members Party nationalist members of his party and then trying to also govern the. So there real the country. So there are real question marks. Question marks. I just want some consistency with our politicians. Good luck. Good luck. Stick to what you believe in and just go for it. At least then we what were voting then we know what were voting for anyway. Then we know what were voting for when y. Then we know what were voting for when the facts change, you when the facts change, you change mind. What would you do . Well, yes. When the facts change, perhaps. Dont change, perhaps. But i dont think pragmatic. Um. Think this is pragmatic. Um. Anyway, you been anyway, lots of you have been getting touch home on the getting in touch at home on the topics weve been discussing on keir starmer. Says sir keir starmer. Michael says sir keir starmer. Michael says sir keir that a woman keir may have said that a woman is adult female, but is an Adult Human Female, but i dont think he actually meant it. His admission was like watching someone their watching someone having their teeth out. Yes, he he teeth pulled out. Yes, he no, he does want to. He does not does not want to. He does not like question. Like answering that question. He finds difficult finds it so difficult completely. Says needs completely. Nita says he needs to u turn on ulez to make a real impact at women. Comment is impact at the women. Comment is on only now wasnt on reflection. Only now wasnt spontaneous. I think thats a mixture of views there and graham has to say, given how long it has taken keir starmer to grasp the basic birds and bees of what a woman do we bees of what a woman is, do we really need slow thinker really need such a slow thinker anywhere levers of anywhere near the levers of power . Were an agile is power . Were an agile mind is required. I think thats a very good put that good point. You put that beautifully. I couldnt have said it better myself.
