Transcripts For GBN Mark 20240704

Marvellous Tatiana Sanchez. Mark, thank you very much and good evening. This is the latest from the newsroom. Former home from the newsroom. Former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has told gb news the government needs to clamp down on, quote , needs to clamp down on, quote, lefty lawyers to stop illegal migration. She says the attorney general and lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave. Thats 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 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 country and show leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally , you cant just get a pass , 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. 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 rao grant shapps told the sun that problem stems from being a political 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, 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. Businesses being closed. And finally , the prime and finally, the Prime Minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods , says the scheme, neighbourhoods, says the scheme, which has been used by councils to drivers cutting through 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 says the Prime Minister should leave the decision to local areas is our position on is that it is for communities to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where, oh by the way, there are communities up and down the country you want to reduce traffic going through there neighbourhoods, whether it is of, you know, clean is in terms of, you know, clean air zones. Air zones. Weve talked obviously specifically ulez. Yes, we specifically about ulez. Yes, we certainly believe a well planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing. Good thing. Youre up to date on gb news now its back to mark dolan tonight right. My thanks to Tatiana Sanchez, who returns in an hours time. Welcome to mark dolan tonight night. In my big opinion, the brexit disaster predicted by bitter remainers never happened with the eurozone deep in recession and shrinking with trade deals in the offing, including with india this year and with our sovereignty restored, the case for our departure grows by the day. In departure grows by the day. In a World Exclusive, the former face of halifax for ten years, howard brown speaks out on the nigel farage de banking scandal. My mark meets guest is the top doctor who thinks he has the perfect prescription to save the nhs. And im looking forward to nhs. And im looking forward to this one in my take at ten. In just over an hours time , keir just over an hours time, keir starmer has done more u turns than maureen from driving school. Do we really want a Prime Minister that stands for nothing . Tonights newsmaker could supporting motorists s win rishi sunak the next election . Ill be asking the formidable Ann Widdecombe mark dolan tonight is the home of the papers with tomorrows front pages from 1030 sharp with three top pundits who havent been told what to say and who dont follow the script tonight. Annunziata rees mogg , neil Annunziata Rees mogg, neil pansh Annunziata Rees mogg, neil parish and emma burnell. Tonight parish and emma burnell. Tonight ill be asking the pundits , is ill be asking the pundits, is priti patel right that the government need to clamp down on lefty lawyers to stop the boats . As a new movement called lazy girl , jobs takes the internet by girl, jobs takes the internet by storm with people boasting about how little they do for their money. Have brits lost the work ethic and are people who dine alone losers . Plus your emails , alone losers . Plus your emails, especially the spicy ones market gb news. Com. This show has a strict rule. Its a golden rule. Strict rule. Its a golden rule. Its my red line when we dont do boring, not on my watch. I just wont have it. Lots to get through. Ill be dealing with keir starmer at ten. But first my big opinion. Keir starmer at ten. But first my big opinion. It happens every my big opinion. It happens every yean my big opinion. It happens every year, doesnt it . The privileged nonh year, doesnt it . The privileged north london dwelling, champagne swilling remain establishment crow about brexit related delays as they travel to their tuscan villas. Now there are long villas. Now there are long queues at dover. I should add. They did happen when we were in the eu as well. But im not to going lie. Its bad this weekend and the french need to speed things and mark my words. Things up and mark my words. They will. Otherwise we will go somewhere else for our holidays. I guarantee you Better Technology will see us fly through in time. But even with the current arcane systems in place outside of peak Holiday Season in july , youll find that season in july, youll find that the flow of brits to and from the flow of brits to and from the continent has largely been seamless with the eurostar terminal, for example , now empty terminal, for example, now empty most of the time. Its ironic , most of the time. Its ironic, isnt it, that critics of brexit need to campaign on a regular bafis need to campaign on a regular basis about how terrible it is. The remain cause has its own Marketing Department and its own pr, its own spokespeople , all pr, its own spokespeople, all many of them powerful figures in the media. If brexit was so bad, you wouldnt need this level of propaganda. It would be self evident. But the brexit disaster is like tony blairs weapons of mass destruction in its nowhere to be seen. Exports its nowhere to be seen. Exports to the eu are up since we left exports to the rest of the world, up since we left. Economic growth higher than germany, since we left the eurozone in recession, the German Economy actually shrinking this year or all since we left trade deals with the rest of the world, since we left, including the astonishing cptpp which i thought was a cough mixture. But which is a massive trade deal. Hard to swallow for remainers given the fact that it represents a trading bloc larger than the eu itself. If an agile approach to itself. If an agile approach to the vaccine rollout since we left discarding eu rules and regulations , saving £2 billion a regulations, saving £2 billion a month on membership fees and avoiding a bill of £190 billion for europes covid overreaction. Since we left. Now, andrew neil, since we left. Now, andrew neil, a good friend of mine and formerly of this parish , has formerly of this parish, has written in the daily mail about the ongoing decline of the eurozone as a market. As the usa has grown in the eu in relative terms, has shrunk and theres no reason why that will not continue. Look, i know hes not continue. Look, i know hes not perfect and hes no angel, but should donald trump return to the white house, let me tell you, a trade deal with america , you, a trade deal with america, our greatest economic and diplomatic ally, will be back on the table. And there is the the table. And there is the small matter of a forthcoming trade deal with india, the Worlds Largest democracy and a market of a billion people. We have deep, historic and economic links, of course, and the indians are reports this week as saying that they expect the two countries to sign on the dotted line before christmas. Santa line before christmas. Santa comes early. So im afraid to comes early. So im afraid to say that bitter remainers are running out of road. Ill grant running out of road. Ill grant you this historic constitutional, economic and diplomatic change is not without consequence since businesses have suffered particularly smaller operators , many of whom smaller operators, many of whom have given up exporting to the eu altogether because of red tape. Plus, its a nightmare for many trying to work in the eu. That must be addressed. And its sad that young brits cant go over to italy or france and start a new life there. And its start a new life there. And its sad that older brits cant retire to the sunshine of portugal or spain. But the long portugal or spain. But the long predicted brexit disaster has not happened. And with not happened. And with sovereignty restored , with brits sovereignty restored, with brits safe from the threat of the euro Free Movement and ever closer union, we now control our own destiny. So far, so good. Bitter destiny. So far, so good. Bitter remainers are now so desperate, theyre clinging to disinformation, of which they accuse brexit supporters. How accuse brexit supporters. How so . Well take a look at this story in the mail about chaos for travellers needing to register their fingerprints and facial details just to get to the continent. It has been characterised by the usual suspects as punishment for brexit and evidence of the inconvenience. Our departure bnngs inconvenience. Our departure brings. Why let a headline get in the way of a good story . This new biometric data is required hired by any Foreign National entering an eu state, including members of the eu who are not signed up to schengen. Aha so given the fact that even if we were still in the eu and wed never have accepted shingon, which is unlimited Free Movement across the bloc, the story is a red herring. If we were still in the eu we would still be giving our fingerprints and our facial recognition. So its a non story and those citing it are playing games and surprise , surprise, games and surprise, surprise, misleading. You now i voted remain in 2016, but immediately accepted the result and i can see that those who backed it day in, day out are winning the argument. Hatred of brexit argument. Hatred of brexit ignores those the facts and ignores those the facts and ignores what has actually happened since we left. Hatred of brexit is political, not economic. Its ideology , not economic. Its ideology, not policy. Hates rid of brexit. Is religion , not reality. And religion, not reality. And anyone hoping we go back in will need a miracle. Need a miracle. Your reaction, mark, at cbnnews. Com. Im delighted to welcome my top pundits now and please welcome to the show former conservative mp farmer and broadcaster neil parish. We and broadcaster neil parish. We also have political consultant emma burnell and former brexit party mep Annunziata Rees mogg. Well, lots to sink our teeth into there. Annunciator. Im into there. Annunciator. Im a remainer, but i accepted the result because of that old thing that they call democracy me. But icannot that they call democracy me. But i cannot find the brexit disaster because because it hasnt happened. There are an awful lot of fear mongering lies going around pre brexit that just have turned out to be as false as the brexiteers said they would be, that its a great opportunity. And my one wish is that the government would really seize it and make sure we are out in the world making the absolute most of this great opportunity. Of this great opportunity. I mean, this trade deal with india eye water a mouth india looks eye water as a mouth watering, say. And watering, i should say. And eye watering. Population eye watering. Its a population of a billion a of a billion people and a historic ally. It could be absolutely huge. And for some industries, literally transformative. I hope that the indians are correct that the indians are correct that it can be done quickly. Indeed. Emma, what do you think this . You can think about this . Are you can i ask if you voted remain . Of course did. Yes, of course i did. Im sane. Im sane. Youre not one of those but youre not one of those bitter remainers, are you . Think there is a real i think there is a real problem with some of the narrative of people who voted remain and havent really grasped what it means that we have brexited. Have brexited. And i think there is also a problem on the other side. I think both sides have gone very far into their corners and im afraid and you know, i love you to bits and i dont normally do this, but i do feel that youve gone slightly further into that corner in that monologue and not in your belief in brexit necessarily , although i would necessarily, although i would probably pick up some of the details with you, but in your belief that those who are against you are this big giant conspiracy. Frankly, most people conspiracy. Frankly, most people , all most people are the 80 of people are kind of in the smudgy middle. Theyve gone from middle. Theyve gone from thinking , middle. Theyve gone from thinking, yeah, i kind of think its a good thing to do on balance to, oh, im not sure that was such great thing to that was such a great thing to do in the polls thats shown. But actually there isnt really a reality based way of going back in time. So were we to back in time. So were we to renegotiate any kind of british membership of europe, it would not happen for at least a decade. And it would not happen on the terms on which we left. And i dont think remainers have properly and i dont think they should call themselves remainers any more because weve left. So you in something you cant remain in something youve you cant remain in something youthats good idea and thats a good idea and brexiteers be brexiteers shouldnt be brexiteers shouldnt be brexiteers. Brexiteers. Absolutely. So maybe we yeah, absolutely. So maybe we should all having should all be having a conversation about where we are now , what our future now, what our future relationship with europe is going to sure and then and going to be sure and then and how we come together and build a consensusice how we come together and build a consensus ice where we go, well , okay, were outside of that block now. Block now. Whats the best way that we can manage that relationship . And that doesnt mean that you have to go back to those leave remain corners we all remain corners because we all want that good relationship. Then we can move forward on to whatever the differences are about how close or far away that relationship is. Okay. I mean, neil, im not saying that brexit is without consequence, but its great critics , their numbers, their critics, their numbers, their sums dont add up. The eurozone is currently in recession. The German Economy is going to shnnk German Economy is going to shrink by 0. 3. This year. We look likely to avoid recession altogether. We look likely to avoid recession altogether. We had look likely to avoid recession altogether. We had the strongest altogether. We had the strongest growth in the g7 the previous two years. Where is the brexit disaster . Its not there. I mean, i also voted remain. And i think, as you said with your monologue, i think if we can actually get the eu trade sorted out so we havent got all this massive bureaucracy which we dont need, which been generated which has been generated largely, dare i say it, by brussels , we can then actually brussels, we can then actually take advantage of the trade deal with there is no doubt with india and there is no doubt that world trade, if you that the world trade, if you look at it, is not the expansive expansion of world trade , is not expansion of world trade, is not going to be in europe. So therefore mean, argument therefore, i mean, my argument always maintain as much always has been maintain as much trade with europe and trade as you can with europe and then other deals. Then build up these other deals. And brexit has us that and brexit has given us that flexibility. Its not perfect, but were getting there and we are there with trade, are getting there with trade, travel else. So travel and everything else. So i think actually a lot to think actually theres a lot to play think actually theres a lot to play for and i think the india dealis play for and i think the india deal is really exciting because historically we left india, you know, in 1948. I think we owe india a great debt also. And i think if we can actually do a trade deal now, i think it will be fantastic. Will you look at that, folks . A grown up conversation about brexit among people that agree or dont agree . Thats what the show is all about. Where is the brexit disaster . Let me know your thoughts. Margaret cbnnews.

Well yeah, to be honest with you , you know, im a honest with you, you know, im a little bit saddened by the whole process because i you know, i was brought up to believe that the always right, the customer is always right, you , you know, i you know, and, you know, i spent, as you said before, over ten years working within customer it, Customer Service and loved it, had a great we used to have great accounts at the time , you great accounts at the time, you know, most important great accounts at the time, you know,for most important great accounts at the time, you know,for us most important great accounts at the time, you know,for us was ost important great accounts at the time, you know,for us was was mportant great accounts at the time, you know,for us was was puttingt great accounts at the time, you know,for us was was putting our thing for us was was putting our customers thing for us was was putting our cussorers thing for us was was putting our cusso irs thing for us was was putting our cusso i just think thing for us was was putting our cus so i just think that you so i just think that you know, the Current Situation is very, very unfortunate. And i very, very unfortunate. And i think need to take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep need to take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back need to take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back on need to take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back on thisieed to take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back on this one. To take very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back on this one. And ke very, very unfortunate. And i tistep back on this one. And had a step back on this one. And had some common sense to it. I mean, i think that we just need to get back to treating People Fairly and and treat people and honestly and treat people the way that want be the way that you want to be treated. And i think treated yourself. And i think that certainly has to be the right that certainly has to be the rigiwere you aware of anything were you aware of anything like this going on during your time banking . Time in banking . No, no, it just didnt happen. I mean, this seems to have just crept into society. It was never , ever there. And my was never, ever there. And my experiences were wonderful. I had a great, great period of time. There i mean, i mean, i like working Customer Service and i like working with people. And i like working with people. But my experiences were wonderful. All, you know, not wonderful. All, you know, not only i have a combination of only did i have a combination of sort with in the bank sort of working with in the bank itself, obviously took me off to do some of the commercials that you mean, i do some of the commercials that you the mean, i do some of the commercials that you the opportunity mean, i do some of the commercials that you the opportunity torean, i do some of the commercials that you the opportunity to travel had the opportunity to travel all over world. So no, it all over the world. So no, it just wasnt there. Our, you just wasnt there. Our, you know, our prime and key focus was our customers. We always put our customers first because we all know that customers are all know that our customers are the lifeblood of our organisation and the lifeblood of organisation and we have of any organisation and we have to after them. To look after them. What do you think about people having their Bank Accounts for their accounts cancelled for their political views . Political views . Well, i think the whole process is very, very sad indeed for all those people that are suffering in that respect. I understand the government understand that the government are looking at it, lets hope are looking at it, so lets hope that we some legislation are looking at it, so lets hope that protects;ome legislation are looking at it, so lets hope that protects people,|islation are looking at it, so lets hope that protects people, protects everybody, because it does affect all of us. And it is a concerning time. But as i said before, i mean, this is something thats the thats new to and so im very, very to me. And so im very, very saddened by that. This is actually happening. Yes i mean, howard, earlier this yean i mean, howard, earlier this year, you launched a very entertaining pop entertaining and successful pop songin entertaining and successful pop song in which you blasted fake diversity, unconscious bias training and pronouns. The title of the song was what happened . Of the song was what happened . Lets take a listen. What happened . Happened . Everybody scared of being attacked . What happen . And suddenly what happen . And suddenly opinions are now facts. What happened . What happened . What happened . Things were descend ing to new lows and me glasses are still slipping down. Me nose. Somethings just me nose. Somethings just never changed me. Glasses are still slipping down my nose. I hope they dont make that illegal. I said my glass seas are still slipping down. Me no, dont want to be cancel. I tell you what, you are a talented man. But really that talented man. But really that song has sort of been described as a bit of a criticism of Political Correctness or wokeism. What do you think about the infiltration of these woke ideas into to businesses . Ideas into to businesses . Right. Well, in terms of the actual song, i know a lot of people have labelled it a lot of things, but for me, i label it as basically it as a fun song and basically it was a song just to highlight as a fun song and basically it was a of ng just to highlight as a fun song and basically it was a of the ust to highlight as a fun song and basically it was a of the issueshighlight as a fun song and basically it was a of the issues that ight as a fun song and basically it was a of the issues that were some of the issues that were actually at actually having in society at the and a lot actually having in society at th oh, it could be very , very oh, it could be very, very bad because at the end of the day, were all customers. I consider myself be customer consider myself to be a customer. Were customers. Were all were all customers. And that when and we want to know that when we go were go into our banks that were going to treated and going to be treated honestly and fairly and i think thats something that we need to get back very, back to and get back to very, very soon. Very 500. Very soon. Well, indeed, halifax well, indeed, listen, halifax , i know that youve always been on terms with them, i know that youve always been on i terms with them, i know that youve always been on i dont terms with them, i know that youve always been on i dont anticipateith them, i know that youve always been on i dont anticipate that|em, i know that youve always been on i dont anticipate that will and i dont anticipate that will ever change. Its a very popular and successful bank, but they raised eyebrows with a policy of pronouns on the name badges for people working in their branches. So what do you think about policies like that . Policies like that . Well, i was very surprised when i first heard that because it wasnt part of the halifax that. And as i said that i knew. And as i said before, i had a wonderful, wonderful time with them. And they a great organisation. They are a great organisation. You lot great you know, they do a lot of great work on. Work for charities and so on. But it was a strange one for me. But it was a strange one for me. But think i suppose but again, i think i suppose that do change and thats that things do change and thats one of the changes that took place. But i just that place. But i just felt that for me , you know, i me personally, you know, i didnt really want to wear a name but those people name badge, but for those people that , thats and thats that did, thats okay and thats proper. For me, i just proper. But for me, i just didnt wanted to didnt feel like i wanted to because focus always been because my focus is always been on the customer. And so thats thats what i tend to focus on. Indeed.

Coming up next with the punstis coming up next with the pundits is priti patel right that the government needs to clamp down on inverted commas . Lefty lawyers to stop the boats as a new movement called lazy girl, jobs takes the internet by storm with people boasting about how little they do for their money. Brits lost the work money. Have brits lost the work ethic . And are people who dine ethic . And are people who dine alone losers . Ill tell you about whether i dine alone after this an email from chris in response to my big opinion. I voted remain, but i cannot find is the brexit disaster. This from christine. Evening, mark. Sorry to say , but your poorest to say, but your poorest monologue to date. Extreme language made you appear bitter. Not the remainers. Most of us not the remainers. Most of us discuss the pros and cons in a friendly way. No bitterness. Chris thank you so much for that. It all about opinions that. It is all about opinions and im grateful yours. And im grateful for yours. Keep them mark gbnews. Com them coming. Mark at gbnews. Com reacting to the big stories of the former conservative mp the day, former conservative mp neil parish Political Consulting emma burnell and former brexit party mep Annunziata Rees mogg , party mep Annunziata Rees mogg, now ex home secretary. Dame priti patel has called for the government to clamp down on so called lefty lawyers if the uk is to solve the migrant crisis, she spoke of the need to return back to her original new plan for immigration , an plan for immigration, an firmness and for Illegal Immigrants to be sent to detention in and immigration centres as a deterrent. So what do we think about these lefty lawyers . Are they being overstated . Are they being vilified by the ex home secretary . Secretary . Neil i dont think theyre being vilified. I think shes got a really good point. I think the problem is you very much got to change the law in order to take on the lefty lawyers. Its no good to just complain about the lefty lawyers because theyre actually using law theyre actually using the law as it stands at the moment. So therefore , if were actually therefore, if were actually going something it, going to do something about it, it needs parliamentary it probably needs parliamentary time and law to be changed. If youre going to make a real difference, because a lawyer, whether you like a lefty lawyer or lawyer, whatever or a right wing lawyer, whatever kind lawyer is kind of lawyer, a lawyer is actually going to the law. And of course, if they want to challenge situation and of challenge a situation and of course, in democracy, whether course, in a democracy, whether we like it or and dont we like it or not, and we dont always the law will always like it, the law will challenge a democratic decision. So if the government doesnt like it , its so if the government doesnt like it, its for so if the government doesnt like it , its for the government like it, its for the government to put that right. But its no good really to just complain about lefty lawyers. That wont about lefty lawyers. That wont stop lefty lawyers. The only way stop lefty lawyers. The only way you is by changing the you stop them is by changing the law and thats what priti patel wanted to do. But she was home secretary. Bless her for quite a while. So i just wonder whether while. So i just wonder whether perhaps she shouldnt have done it then. Em em e you make of that what do you make of that language, it helpful . No, its deeply, deeply unhelpful. Its divisive and its trying to stoke up a feeling amongst people that theyre being got at both the lefty lawyers are being got at, but also this sense that, oh, theres this bunch of people who are out to overrule you. Thats not how democracy works. Democracy is essentially about challenge. Challenge. But should lawyers be telling people that have entered the country illegally to what say in order stay . They should be order to stay . They should be helping people to make their best case. If are people if there are people encouraging their clients to lie , they are not doing their job well. And that is a question for the law society and for the, you know, the laws of the law. But thats a very separate case from just this big blob idea of lefty lawyers coming at our government and challenging them legally. And challenging them legally. Now, heres where i would say to you why why you should be concerned about this. We may concerned about this. We may have a change of government. We may have a government that goes in a different direction with which viewers of gb news will have certain real issues and they will want to challenge that government outside of the parliamentary process. If you parliamentary process. If you set a precedent whereby you make any challenge , thats extra any challenge, thats extra parliamentary , i. E. Legal or parliamentary, i. E. Legal or demonstrating or anything like that. So an anathema to what we think democracy is, then you are setting a rod for your own back in a future left wing parliament. Okay. Well, what do you think, lefty lawyers . Is that divisive language or do we have practitioners who are helping people game system . People game the system . I am not going to argue whether lefty is the right word i is it language you would use . Is it language you would use . Not in this occasion, but i think theyre certainly opportunistic lawyers. I think opportunistic lawyers. I think theyre cynical. Theyre making money and theyre getting their clients to pay them in order, quite often through legal aid , quite often through legal aid, in order to line their own pockets by in some cases, but not all so convincing their customers , the defendants customers, the defendants client, to lie. Yeah. And any client, to lie. Yeah. And any lawyer surely, who tells their client to lie should not just be struck off as a lawyer. It should be a criminal offence in and of itself. And i think that youre absolutely right that we should tighten up the legal system item so that this abuse cant happen and that there are severe penalties when lawyers overstep the mark. Do you think this is political . Let me know your thoughts. Mark gbnews. Com now thoughts. Mark gbnews. Com now a new movement called lazy girls jobs takes the internet by storm with young people going on tiktok boasting about how little they do for their money. They celebrate skipping corners like copying and pasting emails and brag about talking or taking long breaks and finishing early while still receiving a good salary. So it begs the question have lost their work have brits lost their work ethic . Annunciator youve got the work ethic. Do you think weve got a cultural problem in this possibly of this country, possibly a sort of post pandemic of post pandemic after a couple of years of furlough . Have we got lazy . I think there is a problem, not necessarily with laziness, but with selfishness. Laziness, but with selfishness. And there was a report out earlier this week that people no longer want to have children a lot of the time because they want more time for themselves. Want more time for themselves. Is that i think both of these things demonstrate a lack of thought about the wider human race. The innovation, the hard work, the fact that to get anything done takes everyone pulling their weight. Its all about me. And i think thats a real concern for our future. Real concern for our future. What do you think, neil . Are you worried about the work ethic . Mean, productivity ethic . I mean, productivity was already pretty anaemic before the seems to be worse how. Now. Think theres many people i think theres many people that still have and young people have a work ethic. That still have and young people have a work ethic. But i think the trouble with sort of furloughing the trouble from working from home they working from home was they got used to actually perhaps looking more at the phone, not doing work necessarily at the time. And theres lots of distractions. And i think that is the problem. And i think it seems problem to seems to be a problem to actually back to actually get people back to actually get people back to actually saying, right, that is work time, lets get on with it. I think some this bragging i think some of this bragging about do , i about how little they do, i suspect is largely exaggerated because thats how social media largely works. You know, you outbid each other. And i largely works. You know, you outbid each other. And i suspect outbid each other. And i suspect a this is highly a lot of this is highly exaggerated. But on the other hand, do i think theyre all work shy . No, theyre not. But could some of them do a little bit more . Are some them bit more . Are some of them are tempted to spend a little bit bit more . Are some of them are temmucho spend a little bit bit more . Are some of them are temmuch on pend a little bit bit more . Are some of them are tem much on their a little bit bit more . Are some of them are tem much on their own le bit bit more . Are some of them are tem much on their own timet bit more . Are some of them are temmuch on their own time and too much on their own time and not time . Yes they not on their work time . Yes they are, but quite difficult sort are, but quite difficult to sort that out. But wouldnt get that out. But i wouldnt get sort worked that sort of so worked up that everybody. Everybody is work shy. Is it generational . Do you could imagine that if you could you imagine that if you hired in their 20s to hired somebody in their 20s to work on your farm, that theyd put a shift the same way put a shift in in the same way that would . That somebody at 50 or 60 would . Well, ive got well, i mean, ive got a neighbour, neighbours neighbour, ive got neighbours right, with sons. Right. And one the farm right. And one on the farm and 2 work and 1 or 2 of those work exceptionally hard and 1 or 2 of them so therefore its them dont. So therefore its sort of variable. Would sort of variable. So i would say to it is variable. There is to you it is variable. There is still some great Young Workers out there and i think its just trying to instil in the rest that there must be a work ethic. Its a little bit Old Fashioned to say it, but i think need to say it, but i think we need it country because weve it in this country because weve got our productivity. We most certainly do look at china, south they china, look at south korea. They are seriously chomping at chomping at our heels. Now, a restaurant at the Hotel Cafe Royal recently introduced a minimum spend of a whopping £330 for solo diners. Minimum spend of a whopping £330 for solo diners. As a writer for for solo diners. As a writer for the guardian called it her ultimate indulgence to have a meal alone at the restaurant that she loves , but is dining that she loves, but is dining alone for losers. Emma absolutely not. I mean , im sure there are i mean, im sure there are plenty of people who think im a loser and i do dine alone often. So maybe these two are so maybe these two things are concurrent , but i so maybe these two things are concurrent, but i dont. Certainly not. Youre certainly not. Youre certainly not. Thank you very much, neal. Unless honestly time them on unless you honestly time them on your own. Can for some people, be an absolute luxury. I go on houday be an absolute luxury. I go on holiday on my own all the time. I go to the theatre on my own all time. I if on all the time. I if im on holiday, i will not be eating in any. I will be out at any night. I will be out at a restaurant. I do understand the business for case restaurants finding sole diners harder to deal with because youre essentially taking a space that is for two covers and using it for one cover as somebody who has known restaurateurs , i know has known restaurateurs, i know that that is really annoying and you will youll spend 80 of the time there. So they wont make the money back that they would have had if theyd had couple have had if theyd had a couple in. Honestly, the judgement in. But honestly, the judgement of this is really baffling to me. If i choose to go out with a nice book and a nice glass of wine and a lovely meal, its nobodys business but mine. Annunciate youve got several children and a demanding husband and a busy job. You probably dream of eating alone. Dream of eating alone. There certainly occasions dream of eating alone. woulde certainly occasions dream of eating alone. would be certainly occasions dream of eating alone. would be blissful|ly occasions dream of eating alone. would be blissful and casions dream of eating alone. would be blissful and itasions it would be blissful and it would be nose in book and switch off from the world. Would you feel uncomfortable dining alone, though . No. In fact, i was refused a restaurant around the corner the last time corner from here. The last time i your show , nandos. No i came on your show, nandos. No hopefully. Hopefully. Something a little higher class than that. No, it was the. The little popular chain that i popular italian chain that i wont name. Right and they said, no, we wont take less than two. And it was a busy evening. Ive never heard calling. Ive never heard calling. And so i went next door, which was a rather nice restaurant. You should name how did that make really insulting , thats really insulting, isnt it . W e i was actually so happy that i doon had i went next door, which had much nicer and was emptier more nicer food and was emptier more for them. They didnt realise they were turning celebrity. Did turning down a celebrity. Did you know who am . Funnily enough, not. Funnily enough, not. You know jacob rees mogg, right . Spent life going. Right . He spent his life going. Do you know im do you know that im annunciating brother . Annunciating smallest brother . Why thats his meal thats why thats his meal ticket. Ticket. The first thing i want to say to you is wont be going to to you is i wont be going to cafe way. No way. No way. No. The £330. Also, i would disagree with my two lady guests because , as i would say that i because, as i would say that i hate eating on my own because i hate eating on my own because i hate my own company. And all of them have yes, i can them have said, yes, i can understand but but understand why, but but certainly thats why i wouldnt. But i dont think youre a loser if you do eat on your own. But i absolutely hate eating on my own. Its i wonder if this is gendered, actually, if women are much more looking for time on their own. Maybe thats what it is. Let maybe thats what it is. Let me know your thoughts. You me know your thoughts. Do you enjoy got enjoy dining alone . Ive got to say it. And ive got to say i love it. And ive got to say i love it. And ive got to say like say my family probably like having a break from well. Having a break from me as well. Mark at cbnnews.

And tonight, one of the busiest people youll meet , award people youll meet, Award Winning medical winning novelist medical columnist at the new statesman magazine and nhs practitioner general practitioner doctor phil whitaker, who has written what is a doctor, a gps prescription for the future, a fascinating read. Its winning rave reviews andifs read. Its winning rave reviews and its out now. Doctor phil, and its out now. Doctor phil, welcome to mark dolan tonight. Congratulations on the publication of the book. Its got people talking. What is your diagnosis of the nhs . What kind of shape do you think its. In of shape do you think its. In well , ive been qualified for well, ive been qualified for more years than i care to remember, but certainly over 30. So ive seen quite a lot of changes over the years. And um, changes over the years. And um, there are many problems, but the one im particularly focussed on is the kind of diminishing role for generalists in the Health Service. So im a general practitioner, thats my, my kind of area and, and we need specialists for people who have very particular problems. But actually the vast amount of the health care that goes on in the country is done by people like me. Probably about 90 of it. Me. Probably about 90 of it. And the way through my and all the way through my career, called in the help career, ive called in the help of specialists for people whove needed theyve needed needed that when theyve needed it. And but whats really it. And but whats really worried over probably about worried me over probably about the years is the the last eight years is the declining number general declining number of general practitioners and the fact that there are too few of us now doesnt mean that the needs of patients have gone away. Its patients have gone away. Its just that they go into other bits of the system that are more expensive not appropriate expensive and not appropriate for and that gets even more for them and that gets even more pressing , i think, with the kind pressing, i think, with the kind of patient that were dealing increasingly with who are often elderly , with many different elderly, with many different medical conditions as and theyre often not served very well by being admitted to hospital or sent up to a e , hospital or sent up to a e, whereas somebody like myself could deal with their care at home in a very sort of holistic way. If i had enough of me and people like social carers to support me. Support me. Well, i completely agree with you. I think of my viewers you. I think many of my viewers and support and listeners would support the idea of more gps who do a brilliant job as well as in the community. What about money . How much of a factor dr. Phil, is. Money it is a factor , but i dont it is a factor, but i dont think it is the only thing. But it is a factor that the nhs sort of typically has seen. Funding averaging about 3 or 4 a year, increasing ever since it was started. But since 2010, with austerity and the financial crisis that that has averaged about a so in real terms, weve been squeezed progressively and that has kind of put a lot of strain on the Health Service. But unfortunately, the bits that have got squeezed are the vital bits to actually make the system work cost effectively and well for patients, which are general practise district nursing, social care , the money for social care, the money for hospitals has largely been preserved. Hospital doctor numbers have gone up about 30 over the last 13 years. Thats kept pace with the sort of rise in the population over 65 who most in need of health care, whereas numbers of gps, district nurses have been declining really radically over that time because weve been perceived as perhaps the less important bit and the low hanging fruit that can be squeezed by the financial crunch. Well, listen, as a gp, in my opinion, you couldnt be more important. Important. You be grateful you should be very grateful youre. Youre not in the studio. Otherwise be you my otherwise id be showing you my lump everyone, emails lump. But everyone, the emails me to the show talks about how they struggle to get a gp appointment definitely more appointment and definitely more gps would helpful. When gps would be helpful. But when it comes to the National Health service, the service, dr. Phil isnt the Elephant Room public elephant in the room Public Health itself preventable lifestyle conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity . Diabetes and obesity . Yeah, no , absolutely. So and yeah, no, absolutely. So and one of the other things that im writing about in the book is, as well as a sort of focus on specialism general ism, specialism over general ism, again, over the last 13 years, weve been focusing on medicalizing these problems. So type 2 diabetes, a brilliant case in point for actually many people. Its a reversible condition. If they get the right support to lose weight, change the diet and exercise. But the diet and exercise. But actually all the kind of engine of the Health Service sort of goliath has been churning through, saying this is a medical condition , an you need medical condition, an you need these tablets, you need these drugs, you need this monitoring. So yeah, i think weve got to rebalance Public Health into prevention. But true prevention, prevention. But true prevention, not izing people and not medical izing people and giving them drugs, but actually saying, lets help you, lets try and get that condition reversed. Reversed. Well, i think its appropriate that a gp as as well, i think its a|journalist that a gp as as well, i think its a|journalist has a gp as as well, i think its a|journalist has hasp as as well, i think its a|journalist has has written as well, i think its a|journalist has has written his s a journalist has has written his prescription for the nhs because gps are at the coal what gps are at the coal face. What do you think about the role of private enterprise within the Health Service . This i think , Health Service . This i think, um, i mean the two points id make, number one, at the moment there are a lot of people using private health care and because the nhs is really, really struggling, but they are people who can afford it. So i have an uncomfortable kind of feeling about that because its a sort of because its creating a sort of two tier system where only those whove got the spare cash are actually able to get actually able to go and get prompt and, and prompt health care and, and actually the thinking back over the years sort of back to the late 90s and early 2000, use of private sector capacity really brought down nhs waiting lists. So i dont have a particular problem with using capacity in the sector, but i would available to everybody. Available to everybody. Dr. Phil, let me get the plug in. The book is out now. Here it goes. Its what is a doctor, a gps for the gps prescription for the future. Dr. Phil whitaker is the author. Thank you so much for joining phil, well speak author.

In my take at ten, keir starmer has done more u turns than maureen from driving school. Do we really want a Prime Minister that stands for nothing . Also, that stands for nothing . Also, could supporting motorists win rishi sunak the next election . Ill be asking tonights newsmaker , the formidable ann newsmaker, the formidable Ann Widdecombe and mark dolan. Tonight is the home of the papers with tomorrows front pages from exactly 1030 sharp. Pages from exactly 1030 sharp. Plus, my top pundits. But ill plus, my top pundits. But ill be dealing with keir starmer in two minutes. Hold on to your hats. Its going to be lively. First, the headlines with Tatiana Sanchez. Tatiana sanchez. Mark, thank you and good evening. This is the latest from the newsroom. Former home the newsroom. Former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has told gb news the government needs to clamp down on, quote , needs to clamp down on, quote, lefty lawyers to stop illegal migration. She says the attorney general and lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave. That says 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 the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill need a deterrent factor for a start and removals and returns. My rwanda plan was central to that. The returns agreements 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 illegally , we you come here illegally, we you cant just get free pass. Cant just get a free pass. Being firm is actually the stance that we should take. And that people and that means removing people and returning people to other third countries or country of origin in 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 rao grant shapps told the sun 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 had their Bank Accounts forcibly closed. The gb news presenter closed. The gb news presenter says a thousand accounts are being shut every day. What ive learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were, ive just been inundated by small businesses, by folk, all around the country, people in absolute fear, terror , their lives being fear, terror, their lives being ruined , thousands of businesses ruined, thousands of businesses being closed. The Prime Minister being closed. 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. Its been seen by some as an attack on motorists. In seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an seen by some as an attack on motorists. In an interview with 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 them. Shadow International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Symonds says the Prime Minister should leave the decision to local areas is our position on is that it is for communities to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where, oh by the way, there are communities up and down the country you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods, whether it is of, you know, clean is in terms of, you know, clean air zones. Air zones. Weve talked obviously specifically ulez. Yes, we specifically about ulez. Yes, we certainly believe a well planned , low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing. Good thing. And finally, the uks most senior a e doctors warning that inadequate government provisions could see thousands of people die needlessly this year. Dr. Adrian boyle, president of the Royal College of emergency medicine , warns that plans are medicine, warns that plans are insufficient , allowing medicine, warns that plans are insufficient, allowing for less than half of the beds needed to cope with the crisis this winter. He said that less than 11,000. He said at least 11,000 more staffed beds should be provided at hospitals across the country. He youre up to date on country. He youre up to date on gb news now its back to mark dolan tonight. Great to have tatiana back on the show. She returns at 11. Welcome to mark dolan tonight and it is my last show until september. Im going to miss you hugely. Could supporting motorists win rishi sunak the next election . Ill be asking tonights newsmaker, the formidable Ann Widdecombe. And formidable Ann Widdecombe. And mark dolan tonight is the home of the papers at 1030 sharp with full pundit reaction. And my full pundit reaction. And my punst full pundit reaction. And my pundits will be nominating their headune pundits will be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes tonight , emma burnell zeroes tonight, emma burnell neil parish and Annunziata Rees mogg are ringside for the big stories of the day. Lots to get through, but lets start out with my take. At ten. Keir with my take. At ten. Keir starmer has changed his mind on policy more often than henry the eighth changed his mind on wives. The cervix free leader of the opposition is a walking electoral algorithm, a human manifestation of Chatgpt Software gone wrong. His latest policy pledges are about as trustworthy as a hurriedly scribbled prescription from doctor harold shipman. His doctor harold shipman. His latest u turn relates to an issue that will forever define him as a politician. His unwillingness to say what a woman is. When asked on the bbc, do only women have a cervix . He do only women have a cervix . He replied, thats something that shouldnt be said. Its not right. Well, in the last few right. Well, in the last few days im delighted to say that starmer has discovered the joys of the vagina. Welcome to the party, big guy. Of the vagina. Welcome to the party, big guy by of the vagina. Welcome to the party, big guy. By finally saying that a woman is an adult female. Praise the lord. We got there in the end. But does it not worry you that the person likely to be our next Prime Minister has taken years to reach that conclusion and only as a result of huge pressure the heroic labour mp Rosie Duffield pushed for the scrapping of self id, which allows a bloke to wear a dress and call himself a lady and access female only spaces. She was labelled a bigot by labour supporters and was unable to attend Labour Party Conference s due to fears for her physical safety. But now what she advised is labour party policy. Did starmer speak up for her when she faced Death Threats and intimidation , as has starmer and intimidation, as has starmer apologised to her now . Good luck with that. Whilst hes shown with that. Whilst hes shown deep confusion about female anatomy , its clear that he has anatomy, its clear that he has got no balls whatsoever of all the u turns. Starmers position on trans issues is the most egregious because it reflects the fact that he has no values. All politicians change their mind on policy. But if you cant stand up for women , half of the stand up for women, half of the species, what does that say about you as a person . Unfortunate starmer has more positions than the kamasutra. Positions than the kamasutra. When he served in the shadow cabinet, he and then leader Jeremy Corbyn were best friends. Now hes chucked him out of the party as shadow brexit secretary. Starmer was the architect of the second referee movement , architect of the second referee movement, seeking to overturn the democratic mandate of the people in his leadership race. He said that we have to make the case for freedom of movement. But now he says no Single Market and suddenly he loves brexit. Do keep up the likes of his colleague Emily Thornberry and others sneered at the National Flag of this country. But now hes the biggest flag shagger out there. He was going to out there. He was going to aboush out there. He was going to abolish universal credit. Now its just reform. Abolish universal credit. Now itsjust reform. He abolish universal credit. Now its just reform. He backed ulez its just reform. He backed ulez in december of last year. Now he wants it. Paused and he sacked Angela Rayner after the disastrous Hartley Poole by election but found himself in such a pickle within his own party she wound up with more job titles than before. Before titles than before. Before starmer was going to nationalise rail mail, energy and water. But all of that has been scrapped. Suddenly he trusts private enterprise. Plus, he said he enterprise. Plus, he said he would end outsourcing in the nhs, but now accepts private provision. His green revolution provision. His green revolution of £28 billion a year has gone up in smoke. Of £28 billion a year has gone up in smoke. He was going to increase income tax for the top 5 of earners, but now he isnt. He was going to abolish the house of lords then not. It goes on and on and on. Look, im sure that hes an intelligent guy and a decent human being, and of course hes way better than corbyn. But ive never met a keir starmer fan. Have you . And keir starmer fan. Have you . And he seems as adept at annoying supporters of his own party as much as anyone else. For example , with his decision to stick to a child benefit cap of two kids, which his own party previously described as heinous, inhumane and obscene. Now, ive got to and obscene. Now, ive got to say that many of these u turns are the right thing to do. And they acknowledge the disastrous state of the economy thanks to the lockdown. Is that. Yes, you guessed it, starmer supported labours sudden fiscal caution led by their sensible shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves may demonstrate their wild inconsistency, but it does show that theyre serious about government. Yes, its reassuring government. Yes, its reassuring. But can you trust a politician who changes his mind more often than Elizabeth Taylor did at the altar . I worry about his judgement. I altar . I worry about his judgement. I worry about his character , and i worry that he character, and i worry that he will literally say anything to get into power. Starmer thinks hes now the big beast of the jungle. The cool cats, the tiger king and the leopard that can change his spots. But from where change his spots. But from where im standing, all i can see is a giant. Whats your reaction, giant. Whats your reaction, mark at gbnews. Com. Many would argue that labour are streets aheadin argue that labour are streets ahead in the polls. Theyve been ahead in the polls. Theyve been ahead for months now because britain is ready for a change. Many would argue that the labour party couldnt do a worse job than the conservatives are. So let know your thoughts on let me know your thoughts on that. Now that. Lets get reaction now from my top pundits, tory mp from my top pundits, ex tory mp and farmer neil parish, political consultant and playwright emma burnell and broadcaster, writer and ex brexit party mep Annunziata Rees mogg. Dog, let me ask you rees mogg. Dog, let me ask you about this , neil. Im worried about this, neil. Im worried about this, neil. Im worried about Keir Starmers character. Yes i mean, i had Rosie Duffield, for instance, was on the select committee that i chaired and shes a great woman, very straightforward , very courageous straightforward, very courageous actually. And she stood up in Parliament Many times to say exactly what a woman was and had no support from labour, no support from keir starmer, and i think that is a real shame because she, she was a great woman, is a great woman. And i woman, is a great woman. And i think also, i mean recently i think also, i mean recently i think the, the, the, the ulez charge is absolutely classic of keir starmer. He sort of first of all, hes supporting it then hes not supporting it now. Hes not quite sure whether he wants to support it or not. And im sorry if youre going to be Prime Minister for, you know, to put it bluntly, hes got to have some testicles and hes got to make sure that he can stand up and counted and have a policy and be counted and have a policy and be counted and have a policy and to it. And i think the and stick to it. And i think the problem he does go from problem is that he does go from one thing another, he one thing to another, and he seems be cautious. Mean, seems to be so cautious. I mean, its interesting that, you know, how points ahead in how many more points ahead in the opinion polls does he need to be before hes courageous . And there is there doesnt seem to be that, you know , hes he is to be that, you know, hes he is a nice guy. Actually like keir a nice guy. I actually like keir starmer. But does he set the thames on fire . Does he inspire confidence . S are you absolutely confidence . S are you absolutely sure that when hes Prime Minister theres a crisis in the country, hes got one. Know what to do and to stick to it. And i think, you know, all along ive made the point in many of the shows is that it is it not just at the moment that people are anti tory. Theyre not necessarily pro labour. You necessarily pro labour. You know, you had the you had the uxbndge know, you had the you had the uxbridge byelection which showed that when there was a ulez charge , they came back and voted charge, they came back and voted tory. And now, you know, both sides are perhaps making too much of it, i suspect. But you know, this is the issue for the labour party and for keir starmer. You know, show us your starmer. You know, show us your balls. Putting it balls. Basically putting it bluntly, and i dont he has. Emma, youre shaking your head, the public dont take head, but the public dont take kindly all of these u turns. Kindly to all of these u turns. Thats probably true , thats probably true, although frankly , mark, youve although frankly, mark, youve been going at at keir starmer about this issue for quite some time. And i agreed with you and now hes changed his mind and thats great and shouldnt that be celebrated rather than castigated . And my biggest castigated . And my biggest problem is, as someone who does know what a woman is , is that i know what a woman is, is that i dont think you do need testicles. The testicles. Neil to run the country. Country. No, no, not. Not woman. No definitely not. So , frankly. So, frankly. So, frankly. Well , i so, frankly. Well, i agree so, frankly. Well , i agree with you, so, frankly. Well, i agree with you, emma. Well, i agree with you, emma. Well, i agree with you, emma. We can agree. I think these u turns are good u turns. I u turns are good u turns. I think labour are starting to look serious about government. I give starmer and Rachel Reeves credit for that, for being credible. Right. Getting rid of some of their cloud cuckoo land policies. But what does it say some of their cloud cuckoo land policieourbut what does it say some of their cloud cuckoo land policieour next hat does it say some of their cloud cuckoo land policieour next primeyes it say some of their cloud cuckoo land policieour next Prime Minister if about our next Prime Minister if he his time ten minutes he changes his time ten minutes before hes had his first cup of tea . Soi tea . So i dont think thats completely fair for while i disagree with a lot of the stuff theyre saying that they wouldnt do , its i think what wouldnt do, its i think what they need to say is what they prioritise is at the moment. What theyre saying is theres too many things we cant do because of the state of the economy. Now, thats that is economy. Now, thats that is true. Thats just thats the way that politics and economics collide. But they do need to say collide. But they do need to say , well, when we turn the economy around, these are the things well prioritise and they need to stick to those. And ive only got a couple of seconds, but can you the seconds, but can you address the character this a character issue that this is a personality, a man that will say anything . Anything to get in power . I disagree with that completely. I dont think thats whats. And i think why whats happened. And i think why are all the u turns on almost everything . Because i think whats happened hes a person happened is that hes a person who hes not a person with politics. Six i think keir starmer was biggest problem is that he doesnt have a political background. He has a Public Service background and he doesnt really understand that. Doesnt really understand that. Thinking deeply about something and then changing your mind is seen as a bad thing. Because actually in most other other leadership, thats a good thing i and and how how long he takes to make a decision , thats the trouble. Thats a real problem. Thats a real problem. Neil absolutely. Neil annunziata dont get me in trouble with Ann Widdecombe, whos whos waiting in the wings after ill brief. After ill be brief. Who i feel more i dont know who i feel more sorry at this moment. Sorry for right at this moment. Emma trying to pretend that she thinks hes great or keir starmer im not pretending. Hes great. I think. I think hes great. I think. I think joy of keir starmer i think the joy of keir starmer is. Think all right. Is. I think hes all right. But thats one fundamental problem with keir starmer. And its not that hes unpleasant , and its not that hes unpleasant, and its not that hes stupid , its that he hes stupid, its that he doesnt principled bone doesnt have a principled bone in his body. He says things whichever way he thinks that the polls think he should with different factions within his party. We can see this from when he supported corbyn. Then hes completely anti corbyn. Then he kicks corbyn out of the party. He not have a set of he does not have a set of beliefs to base all these decisions on, which must make his life very hard. His life very hard. Well return to this at 1030, but up, what does ann but next up, what does Ann Widdecombe if she widdecombe think . If only she ruled the world. Shes next papers at 1030. But right now , papers at 1030. But right now, lets talk about rishi sunak, who has promised drivers that hes on their side as he ordered a review of controversial anti car schemes being rolled out across britain. In an interview with the telegraph this weekend, the Prime Minister said the vast majority people are dependent majority of people are dependent on cars and that anti on their cars and that anti motorist policies fail to take account of how families live their lives. Mr sunak has ordered the department for transport to carry out a review of so called low traffic neighbourhoods , which often use neighbourhoods, which often use cameras. Giant planters and bollards to turn away cars. So bollards to turn away cars. So could backing drivers and rejecting controversial schemes like ulez , where help rishi like ulez, where help rishi sunak win the next election. Lets ask tonights newsmaker, former government minister, bestselling author and Television Personality Ann Widdecombe, and what do you think about this . We spoke last week, didnt we, about the tories cooling it when it comes to net zero policies . Now, the pm speaks up for motorists. Do pm speaks up for motorists. Do you notice a significant gear change at the heart of government. Yes absolutely. Government. Yes absolutely. And they are clearly been very influenced by the outcome of the uxbridge by election and theyve woken up to something which most of us have been telling them for a very long time, that things have time, which is that things have gone everybody wants gone too far. Everybody wants clean air. But when they have to pay clean air. But when they have to pay disproportionate amounts out of their pay packets , they take of their pay packets, they take a rather different view. Everybody wants to see less traffic on the street , but when traffic on the street, but when its actually impacting on their ability to get to work, on their ability to get to work, on their ability to get to work, on their ability to do what theyve got to they dont want it. To do, then they dont want it. And the problem is that as ive said so often in so many different contexts, the sheer absence of proportionality of saying, yes, this is good. But saying, yes, this is good. But on the other hand, too much of it is bad and we have to try and find some sort of happy medium. Find some sort of happy medium. Now, rishi sunak is a late convert to that, a very late convert to that, a very late convert indeed. Reform have been saying for a very long time. But the question is not what he says. They say anything. This government , anything at all. Government, anything at all. Its not what he says. Its what he does. So im going to reserve he does. So im going to reserve judgement on rishis conversion until i see what he actually does about it. And i know youve got high hopes for reform uk at the next election. I do think they could election. I do think they could do very well. And what about do very well. And what about labour . Do you think policies like ulez could be labours poll tax moment . Tax moment . Oh yes i do. And i think thats a very, very apt comparison. Now the comparison. Now the conservatives realised that they rode back on the poll tax. They won the subsequent election , so won the subsequent election, so its perfectly possible that keir starmer will learn from that and hell roll back on ulez and therefore not perform and not be subject to an unexpected defeat at the election. It is defeat at the election. It is perfectly possible that that is what he will do and where i in his shoes now, id probably be thinking along those lines, but its mighty cynical because after all, he said, whats he going to actually do to implement all the net zero and the clean air and, you know, all the clean air and, you know, all the other stuff . What is he the other stuff . What is he actually going to do about it now, ann, you always look fabulous youre on the show. We having the we love having you on the program. Politics, tv program. Politics, legend, tv personality , always so well personality, always so well dressed. Can see youre dressed. I can see youre wearing an extra layer tonight because even its july , because even though its july, you are shivering in your devon home. But the un chief, Antonio Guterres , says the era of global guterres, says the era of Global Warming has ended and the era of global boiling has begun. Are you boiling . You boiling . Certainly not. And i think if the man really believes that, then hes an idiot. I mean, ive heard all sorts of pro nuncio missions from the various scientists ive never yet heard anybody say with a straight face that were about to boil. I that were about to boil. I were clearly not. And the weather is doing what the weather is doing what the weather has always done, which is behaving totally inconsistently. And generally having a very good time. Frustrating everybodys predictions. No, were not boiling. Its time to stop the scaremongering time again to go for proportionality. Time to for proportionality. Time to review the net zero in terms of first of all, the very small impact it will have. You know, impact it will have. You know, this countrys contributes 1 towards Global Warming. China towards Global Warming. China contributes over a quarter of the worlds carbon emissions. Now its like a builder going into a building and he sees a ceiling falling down. And there in the distance theres a little tiny crack in another part of the ceiling. So he focuses on the ceiling. So he focuses on the little tiny crack and that is what is happening with net zero. Were focusing on areas which arent going to contribute very much while just, you know, turning a blind eye or shrugging our shoulders, at any rate, because theres nothing we can do to china when it comes do to stop china when it comes to the really serious stuff. So proportionality , again, theres proportionality, again, theres no need for britain to suffer when we contribute so little. When we contribute so little. And listen, im going to miss you hugely. Its my last show until september. A couple of seconds on keir starmer and his u turn ons. Do these u turns demonstrate that labour are serious about governing . Isnt serious about governing . Isnt it . It . It demonstrates that theyre desperate to be in government and that theyll sacrifice any old principle if they think itll get them another percentage point in the polls. I percentage point in the polls. I mean, i have been appalled by the u turns, not because i dont think hes being converted to sense. I think he is. But the reason appalled by the reason im appalled by the u turns is that are so u turns is that they are so frequent, so fundamental. I frequent, so fundamental. I mean, it isnt sort of superficial policy that hes doing it on and so utterly cynical because he hasnt had some great conversion. Hes just looked at what Public Opinion is saying and thinks, oh dear , id saying and thinks, oh dear, id better reverse that. Yeah where is the principle . What is this man stand for . Id somebody tell me because i dont know and have a brilliant august youll be in the company of the wonderful leo kearse whos looking after mark dolan tonight and ill see you in september.

Lets get reaction now from my top pundits this evening. Im delighted to have along side me none other than Annunziata Rees mogg, who is former brexit party mep , is former brexit party mep, broadcaster and political commentator. We also have former conservative mp for armour and broadcaster neil parish and last but not least, emma burnell playwright is a broadcaster and journalist. Lets get our teeth into these stories and its interesting, isnt it . Annunciator the sun have the ear of number 10. This looks like its come straight from the pms spokesman. Doesnt it . Now get a move on, rishi pm vows to end anti car moves. Do you think that this is an important pivot from the Prime Minister . Could it his fortune around . It turn his fortune around . I, i dont know if it can turn his fortunes around. I think hes got quite a lot of he needs to improve on of areas he needs to improve on to achieve that. But i completely agree he does need to get a move on. We are not ready to get rid of the car, to get rid of our reliance on the car, that if you move out of zone one in london, there isnt the transport infrastructure and there are not the alternatives that in rural areas there you cant charge electric cars. Cant charge electric cars. Different types of cars need different charger. Ive different types of cars need different charger. Ive already experienced round me in lincolnshire this summer that people cant have family to stay because they cant charge their electric car nearby and let alone towing things. Vans the alone towing things. Vans the technology isnt there that people can afford to switch to. People can afford to switch to. Well, weve got this ban, havent we . 20, 30 on petrol havent we . 20, 30 on new petrol and so soon . The eu and diesel cars so soon . The eu have back to 2035. Have pushed it back to 2035. What do date would you choose . I choose . I think putting in a date before were ready is absolutely ridiculous. What were fact ridiculous. What were in fact seeing is that cost of seeing is that the cost of second hand and diesel second hand petrol and diesel vehicles is already going through roof. That through the roof. That is pushing through the through the roof. That is pusibecause through the through the roof. That is pusibecause replace gh the roof because to replace something, the cost has gone up and understand ably. Thats pushed insurance people and understand ably. Thats pusbeing insurance people and understand ably. Thats pusbeing pricedance people and understand ably. Thats pusbeing priced out; people and understand ably. Thats pusbeing priced out; mobilitye i what what do you think . Can backing drivers when rishi sunak the next election . Neil i think it can help. The next election . Neil i think it c i 1 help. The next election . Neil i think it ci dont. The next election . Neil i think it ci dont think on its own i dont think on its own it will and think the problem is will and i think the problem is with all of these charges is that youve got the those working people whove got businesses, vans , all of these businesses, vans, all of these things, theyre finding it very difficult because they can only afford older vehicles, new electric vehicles. Youre electric vehicles. Youre probably talking 40 or £50,000 for an electric van. It just cant be done. And of course, in the rural areas, youve got bigger mileage further to go. Its going to be much more difficult to have electricity anyway. Now weve got to move there , but we wont get there by there, but we wont get there by 2030. But i dont theres 2030. But i dont think theres any point in keep moving the goalposts. We have goalposts. But i think we have got try and help got to genuinely try and help people transfer from petrol , people transfer from petrol, diesel to. But but it might also be the wrong goal. Be the wrong goal. But if you look at what lord bamford was saying today and the hydrogen technology, particularly for heavier vehicles that might be where we should be heading, hydrogen putting in just as we did with diesel, everyone should switch to because better. To diesel because its better. And find not and then we find out its not better. I think were going down the for lorries, for the hydrogen for lorries, for tractors. Tractors. All of those things is essential electric will essential because electric will not pull loads you not pull heavy loads and you need large batteries need such large batteries that you dont have a tare load. So that absolutely essential. That is absolutely essential. But i the is with but i think the problem is with it, its become the electric car or the electric vehicle or the green vehicle has become become a very middle class thing. If youre not careful, the whole green agenda is right for the environment. Green agenda is right for the environment. But its green agenda is right for the environment. But its become so environment. But its become so middle class and so therefore, youve got a lot of people now saying weve been left out, we cant afford to change. Weve still got to feed our family, weve still got to get to work. And i in rural areas and i think in the rural areas in youre to in particular, youre going to have a falling over have a real falling out over this sort of anti car business. Emma neils not wrong about about the middle class ness of some of this debate, but the focus should not be on individual types of transport like cars , but on much, much like cars, but on much, much Better Bus Services if we do not talk nearly enough about bus services and the ways that they could be absolutely transforming the abilities of Rural Communities to move around and genuinely, if we took bus services out of these commercial considerations. So it theres no way an actual commercial company is going to run a bus service to a small village on any kind of needs based analysis. Needs based analysis. Absolutely. Theyre not. And council stopped doing so because it was so underused because they dont run at the times and to the original and destinations that people need. And the people that people need. And the people who rely on them tend to be those with mobility issues, with children. And they just arent functional and women dont want to get the bus home from a nightclub at two in the morning. I do. I do. But also, devon, you cant see also Devon County Council found one of their great if you could one of their buses still has was costing was costing wouldnt it be better person per per journey. Wouldnt it be better person per perjourney. It was wouldnt it be better person per per journey. It was cheaper to do taxis you see exactly. So do taxis you see exactly. So weve got to have other means of transport not just buses because given the amount of shock stories weve seen with fake taxi drivers , id rather be on taxi drivers, id rather be on a bus than a taxi at two in the morning is my first point. Secondly , yeah, there are secondly, yeah, there are absolutely exactly. You cannot absolutely exactly. You cannot run a bus service profitably. Run a bus service profitably. Thats the point. What you can do is run a bus service as a service. Service. Who are you expecting to pay for this money doesnt grow on trees, but paying £100 for someone because they want to pop to another local village that isnt on a convenient bus route. If you run it for anyone time when they could pay for that themselves with a car, it is not themselves with a car, it is not the franchise it and put it back into local government and make it a partly a government local government service. You can make bus services know what you actually need is very much you give them the money to actually do it properly. You very much need it on this one, im afraid in the countryside is a charitable sector in because you sector to move in because you need to make sure you provide the , provide fuel, the bus, you provide the fuel, but of the actual driving but a lot of the actual driving is voluntarily and then it is done voluntarily and then it will up if you get the will stack up if you get the local authority involved or the government involved, itll just cost enormous amounts and it wont work. And of course, if youve got local people actually providing service , you also providing this service, you also find people actually use find more people actually use it. Thats the other issue in the Parish Councils are the people who know when the need is and where it is. Youre right. Youre right. Youre right. Youre put spanner youre right. Thejre put spanner youre right. Thejre about ut spanner youre right. Thejre about shouldyanner in the works about should electric be the destination electric cars be the destination because of because the production of electric cars is very Energy Intensive we these intensive. We have these precious. Slave labour precious minerals. Slave labour is to draw these is used to actually draw these minerals out of rivers and is often teenagers 12 hours a day in mud, gruelling conditions for these finite resources. Liz and these finite resources. Liz and anyone thats got an iphone or a smartphone will know that the batteries useless after a few years. Theyve got a very short on larger scale. On a larger scale. Theyve got a very short Life Expectancy compared old expectancy compared to an Old Fashioned diesel car, but fashioned petrol diesel car, but also theyre so heavy that the particles that come off their tyres might well turn out to be as poisonous to humans and to other animal life as the what theyre meant to be replacing. I think weve got to be very careful after the break, my punst careful after the break, my pundits are going to be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes. Plus, ive got four more front pages. Dont go anywhere. Thats right. Ellison thats right. Ellison has emailed to the programme. I think its mary, actually. Helen. Mary how are you . Mark at gbnews. Com buses. Trains. Please dont make me laugh. Buses one every 40 minutes and you need four to get to the local hospital. Try doing it with a grown man in a wheelchair. We cannot even get on a bus train not used for years. Again, try not used for years. Again, try it with a wheelchair. You need to get out of london, says mary. Mary, i wish you and your other half well. Thank you for your email , half well. Thank you for your email, bridget says, mark, i live in a rural area. Buses dont live in a rural area. Buses dont go live in a rural area. Buses dont go to some villages. Dont even go to some villages. The cant afford the public purse cant afford this. As limiting cars into this. As for limiting cars into pubuc this. As for limiting cars into public roads , as are the public roads, as are the residents of those roads who want them to be like non adopted private roads prepared to pay for the upkeep. Bridget, thank you so much for that. Susan emma going on about buses. Ive not going on about buses. Ive not been on a bus since i passed my driving test aged 17in been on a bus since i passed my driving test aged 17m 1973, says susan. I dont ever want to says susan.

The buses are a bad option. Theyre right that buses are a bad option. Now, i love to see a really brilliant bus network that sorts out everything that they are talking about. Thats what i want.

This is a chap called billy macritchie, whose son frankie died aged nine. He told how he does not want any family to suffer the same heartache. Our hope is that same heartache. Our hope is that his tragic death was not for nothing. The Daily Telegraph nothing. The Daily Telegraph 50,000 extra families to who face inheritance tax war is coming to russia, warns zelenskyy and sunak to warn that labour oil plan will force up energy bills. The times fire energy bills. The times fire risks could turn migrants barge into floating grenfell graduates earn more if parents dont have degrees and pm give gives green light for more north sea drilling. Okay folks, those are drilling. Okay folks, those are your front pages. And lets get your front pages. And lets get to lets get into the meat and veg of some of these stories, if we can. An inheritance tax. We can. An inheritance tax. Emma, are you a supporter or not . 50,000 extra families to face it, say the Daily Telegraph, 50,000 extra families in a country of 9 billion. Fine. What what . Fine. What what . 60, 66 billion . 60 million. 63 million. Whats happened . Sorry. Whats happened . Sorry. Whats happened . Sorry. Ive had a diane abbott moment there. 66 million had a diane abbott. So 6 million we are look , inheritance tax is something that we get very emotional about because we think its about giving money to our children and when we think about our children, we think about them at most about age 25, getting on the housing ladder, getting a hand up from what they might get. Now, as we live longer and longer, the people who are likely to inherit any sort of estate are people who are whose parents are to going be leaving their money to people who are in their money to people who are in their 70s at most 60s. This is not people who need that desperate hand up at the start of their life. Of their life. But then, emma, you leave it to your grandchild at that stage. So seriously what i think people will worry about inheritance tax is many people work very hard all their lives to get some capital behind them and they feel theyve paid their taxes all the way along. Why should they then pay inheritance tax . Have you ever sorry. No, tax . Have you ever sorry. No, thats a real issue because i. Have you ever paid for something that has vat on it with your wages . Yes. So therefore, this whole double taxation argument is nonsense. Oh, no, no, no, no, nonsense. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, its not. Neil, finish. You pay the time. You dont. You dont get tax relief now on. You get very little tax relief on mortgages. And so therefore , all of your and so therefore, all of your life, your youre paying for your house because thats usually where most peoples wealth comes from when they die is from their house anymore. Theyve paid all the way along for. And so therefore , i think for. And so therefore, i think people do actually feel it is double taxation now. Its going to be a real political football. This one, but i think its something resonates with something that resonates with people, mark because people, mark very much because they feel like theyve already paid for it once and why cant they their family they help their family thereafter . Thereafter . It has all been taxed once, but think this goes back to but i think this goes back to one issues discussing one of the issues we discussing earlier , that is an earlier, that there is an inherent selfishness and actually its very altruistic to want to make the most of your life, the most of your earning power to work your hardest for your future generations. And i your future generations. And i am no way so shortsighted as to think that a i will be dead in about ten years time and b that that would be just for my child at 25. Actually there are an awful lot at the moment of 40, 50 year olds who need help because their children are starting university who havent yet paid off their mortgages and cant remortgage because of age , because Interest Rates are going up and that its for them for and their children and for their children. Their childrens children. I mean, emma but the mean, emma but its the incentive to work. When you mentioned 50,000 people, you sounded jealous there, right . Of envy. The the politics of envy. The bottom line is , let me make this bottom line is, let me make this point. Point. Clearing your mortgage. Have a house in london. Therefore, i am quite likely drinks are on you to have when they pass that long way. May that be sure that they will be paying inheritance tax on that estate. Good because tax on that estate. Good because annunciato is absolutely right. We do you want to do more for the next generation, but we want to do more for not just the next generation that were biologically connected to , but biologically connected to, but to all of the next generation and inheritance. And inheritance. The fairest way you can. The fairest way you can. But i think emma is a case. Is it does the state . No best and how to provide or is it we as individuals also look after not doing a great job at the moment . No. But seriously, i think we have got to work out when you if youve created wealth, should you be able to pass that on to the next generation . I believe you should be able to your company. Be able to sell your company. And therefore, think this idea and therefore, i think this idea that that you tax it and then the state decides how to pay for hold fire one at a time. This tax is being paid by people who have most of their assets in a house that has gone up in value. The billionaires , up in value. The billionaires, the multi millionaires are avoiding it. They have mechanisms. They have clever accountants. This is being paid by normal people who want to pass on their hard works benefits to their children. I dont see also makes a very good point about the fact that we absolutely be taxing we should absolutely be taxing billionaires more. Thats not an billionaires more. Thats not an argument against this cohort of people. People. The billionaires will disappear from the country. Disappear from the country. Labour has tried that times i we were billionaires one at a time, but you talk we talked earlier about work ethic. Why do we work . Why do we work hard . Because we think that were going to get a stake in society. Not because we think society. No not because we think were going to hand out a freebie our children so freebie to our children so theyll never have to work. Freebie. They never brilliant freebie. They never work a case. Not going to have to theyre not going to have to work. Do is work. But what it will do is enable hopefully their enable them, hopefully their grandchildren, your grandchildren, your grandchildren, as more and more wealth accumulated , who wealth is accumulated, who provides provide it as provides that . We provide it as individuals or the state doesnt provide . One thing i will say is its very hard clear your mortgage very hard to clear your mortgage in a lifetime. What is the point if that is then by if that asset is then taxed by the state to 40 . Exactly. Listen ive only got a few seconds for your headline here, so if you wouldnt a wouldnt mind a name and a reason , please, annunciator, wouldnt mind a name and a reasonyourease, annunciator, wouldnt mind a name and a reasonyour hero annunciator, wouldnt mind a name and a reasonyour hero today ciator, wouldnt mind a name and a reasonyour hero today andyr, wouldnt mind a name and a reasonyour hero today and why it whos your hero today and why it is lord bamford.
