England now face spain in sunday mornings final with the labour leader, sir keir starmer, calling for a bank holiday if they win on tv onune bank holiday if they win on tv online dab radio and on the tunein app. This is gb news, britains news. Britains news. Channel 4. Graham linehan was once one of the most celebrated members of the most celebrated members of britains famously liberal uber politically great comedy community. A legend at the left wing channel 4, he was beloved as a modern day creative messiah. The brains behind all time great comedies. Messiah. The brains behind all time great comedies. Father ted, time great comedies. Father ted, the it crowd had actually one of my personal favourite black books that it was until he dared to express a view, until just a few years ago, by the way, a view accepted as an established fact. Its a view about the existence of biological sex and how its pretty unwise to allow anyone with a penis into womens only spaces. Only spaces. Dont say anything. Theyve given. Theyve given women no room in which they can manoeuvre and argue for their rights. The and argue for their rights. The gender movement is at its heart. Its a middle class movement. Theyve all got kids who wear some eyeshadow, decide theyre trans, and the parents are kind of circling the wagons around them rather than thinking it through. Theres no more homophobe statement than trans women are women. Because when you say the transwomen are women, you are saying that they are women in all in the literal meaning of the word. That means that if a lesbian does not want to with bodied to go out with a male bodied person who identifies as trans, theyre considered theyre automatically considered a bigot. And thats why. So after expressing views like that, views that i dont need to remind you , are backed need to remind you, are backed up need to remind you, are backed p by need to remind you, are backed up by science , by common sense up by science, by common sense and shared by the majority of brits. But after expressing brits. But after expressing those views, lena han found himself going from messiah to para via almost overnight the entire entertainment establishment turned and he was left destitute socially and financially , with even his financially, with even his co producers on father ted, effectively ending his plans to make a musical version of the show. But linehan fought on and slowly but surely backed by other names flung out by the media elite like j. K. Rowling , media elite like j. K. Rowling, the public realised that such chronic cancellations prove that free speech in britain is dead. Free speech in britain is dead. Indeed, a major gb news poll this week showed just 41 disagreeing with the statement that free speech in the United Kingdom is in decline. The attempts to deplatform folk like linehan are now out of control. Total disproving that constant refrain from the left that cancel culture doesnt exist last night our very own andrew doyle who will be here later in the show, revealed that his brilliant comedy unleashed event had been cancelled just 48 hours before it was due to be held because linehan was going to be on the bill. The holier than thou venue, leith arches initially tweeted without any irony that as an inclusive venue , they do not support this comedian or his views and he will not be allowed to perform at our venue. And as kant sought from thursdays comedy show with immediate effect, from thursdays comedy show with immediate effect , now from thursdays comedy show with immediate effect, now gender critical, snp mp joanna cherry, who also found herself cancelled at the fringe , said that looks at the fringe, said that looks like a pretty clear case of belief discrimination. And yet belief discrimination. And yet rather than focus on this chilling attack on free speech, listen now to the type of question as bbc scotland decided to ask the events co organizer , james shaw, today. Given that Graham Linehan is well known for being very outspoken on his views on trans activists , you could have activists, you could have perhaps expected this. Well, i suppose in the edinburgh being the heart of the enlightenment, you wouldnt expect it. Expect it. Well, weve seen comedians cancelled before at the Edinburgh Festival and politicians gigs were cancelled as well. Theyre now back and they have been performing this yeah they have been performing this year. But but there has been cancellations before, so when are people going to learn their lessons . Know, a venue is you know, when a venue is going actually stand up for going to actually stand up for Free Expression in the arts. Why did not discuss this why did you not discuss this with with the venue beforehand, though . Them heads up. With with the venue beforehand, thorthem them heads up. With with the venue beforehand, thorthem know1em heads up. With with the venue beforehand, thorthem know exactly heads up. With with the venue beforehand, thorthem know exactly what s up. With with the venue beforehand, thorthem know exactly what he p. Let them know exactly what he would be saying. When is the british and when is the british bashing going get Bashing Corporation going to get it and stand up for Free Expression in the arts . Look for expression in the arts . Look for democracy to thrive in the uk. Democracy to thrive in the uk. Good folk like linehan must not be cancelled for their perfectly legal and reasonable views, no matter how much they might challenge and annoy. Woke challenge and annoy. Woke lunatics with pitchfork forks baying to bring someone else down. But to respond now , my down. But to respond now, my Superstar Panel, the author and broadcaster Christine Hamilton , broadcaster Christine Hamilton, former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and former labour adviser Matthew Lazar. Christine Matthew Lazar. Christine hamilton. The left say cancel culture doesnt exist. Well , this really is well, this really is extraordinary talk about turning back history. It was in 1968 something called the theatres act came in, which ended 200 years or so of censorship. Up years or so of censorship. Up until then, the lord chamberlain could decide whether something could decide whether something could go ahead or not. If it was detrimental to good manners, decorum or the public peace. He could decree that it shouldnt go on. It the era when we go on. It was the era when we had hair and last exit to brooklyn and things like that. Hair for younger viewers , was hair for younger viewers, was the on stage. The first nudity on stage. Another i do remember all that. But anyway, we have now turned the clock back. It is ridiculous. And for this to happenin ridiculous. And for this to happen in edinburgh, if this is censorship, by the way, for this to happen in edinburgh of all places, fringe , places, its at the fringe, which grew be anarchic , which grew up to be anarchic, edgy, you know, where you could go. You could you go to be offended. You go have edgy offended. You go to have edgy stuff, go to have views stuff, you go to have your views challenge. To challenge. And for that to happenin challenge. And for that to happen in edinburgh and although graham is cancelled , as graham is cancelled, as i understand it, Frankie Boyle , understand it, Frankie Boyle, who has made jokes about whether he should rape or kill Holly Willoughby yeah, im not saying Frankie Boyle should be cancelled. I dont think anybody should but if should be cancelled. But if frankie is allowed to go Frankie Boyle is allowed to go having like that, having said things like that, for graham, stated for graham, who has just stated a biological fact, of course, to boyle is allowed to perform, even though he jokes about killing women. Kwasi Graham Linehan is cancelled for simply trying to protect women. No , i think this nonsense a no, i think this nonsense a really, really bad step because as christine says, ive been to the fringe and the whole point about it is that you can have Free Expression. We performed at the fringe four times. I know you have many times and not everyone agreed with you , but everyone agreed with you, but actually people allow a wide variety of views to be used to allow. They used to. And whats allow. They used to. And whats extraordinary about this is that its not just him. Its joanna cherry, too. Thats right. I mean, joanna cherry is mp. Mean, joanna cherry is an mp. This actually one thing. This is actually the one thing. Shes in the house shes a colleague in the house of commons, has been for a while. This is the one thing ive her ever ive agreed with her on ever because very, very because i think its very, very serious and also, i mean, the sadness is , as christine sadness of it is, as christine said, is that we reaching said, is that we were reaching a time 40 years ago time maybe 30, 40 years ago where were opening up. Where things were opening up. There expression , there there was Free Expression, there was and think was free debate. And i think whats happening today is a step in direction. In the wrong direction. Happened the left . Whats happened to the left . Matthew because its your matthew lhasa, because its your folk are the new mary folk now who are the new Mary Whitehouses of this age trying to censor and trying to cancel . Well, i think there is something depressing, dan, because i mean, christines brilliant. You know , lesson from you know, lesson from history. It was one of the proudest boasts of the 1960s Labour Government. Roy jenkins was the home to bring was the home secretary to bring in raft of liberal in a whole raft of liberal reforms, including getting rid of theatre censorship. Didnt credit apologies, i didnt credit that to christine. Its fine. I mean what i mean is it was there was a time when being liberal with a small l was a big boast for people who were labour with a big with a big l and it depresses me the sort of groupthink that you get. I think groupthink that you get. I think its particularly tricky in scotland , actually. I was once scotland, actually. I was once i was turned for down being editor of i the of question time, i was the engush of question time, i was the english candidate and was english candidate and i was turned favour of turned down in favour of somebody stuck in somebody who nobody stuck in google it google at bbc scotland. And it turned was actually turned out that he was actually an history as an active history as a trotskyite. So but i wasnt scottish enough. You werent scottish enough. You werent left wingers. Exactly which is ironic viewers of this show. Thats right. Thats right. Thats right. But look, the thing about the fringe as well, christine, is that there is lots of content on there that would be considered unsavoury. And that is the unsavoury. And that is the point. I mean, for example, apparently a play on apparently theres a play on this year which is about this year which is all about hitler are coming back for a second reign of terror. And its shocking and it should be shocking. But Graham Linehan doesnt even in his stand up, particularly talk about his trans views. Not that, by the way, he shouldnt, but this is one of our greatest comedy writers. Denies a place at the Edinburgh Fringe. Edinburgh fringe. And this is the well, its absurd. We all agree its absurd. We all agree its absurd. But the fact that its happened at the fringe, i touched on earlier is its ridiculous. This is sort of nonh ridiculous. This is sort of north korea style. But matthew, you theism its ridiculous. It is. But matthew you it is. But matthew you theres no place in edinburgh Graham Linehan is on the line though im told. I think look i think some of his you his tweets and you can understand obviously understand because obviously hes very hes been put in a very difficult think difficult position. I think sometimes to use sometimes a wee pause to use a scottish phrase, before some of the tweets would im the tweets would be. Im not saying express saying that he shouldnt express his views. And i think you wouldnt absolutely not. His views. And i think you think absolutely not. His views. And i think you vllhink and absolutely not. His views. And i think you vllhink and its absolutely not. His views. And i think you vllhink and its incredible ly not. I think and its incredible whats this whats extraordinary about this is the views that hes is that the views that hes expressing. Is that the views that hes epreah,g. Strange views. No. Yeah, not strange views. No. Yeah, not strange views. No. And by the way , no one on the and by the way, no one on the left was disagreeing with his views a few years ago. So what what social i mean. Absolutely. Joanna what social i mean. Abs as|tely. Joanna what social i mean. Abs as you joanna what social i mean. Absas you say, joanna what social i mean. Absas you say, quietly, cherry, as you say, quietly, i mean, dont with joanna mean, i dont agree with joanna cherry future of cherry on the future of the Union Whatever about union or whatever line about him. Shes, shes, shes to the left in many but yet left of me in many ways. But yet shes because one shes shes because of one particular shes been particular issue, shes been cancelled of. Though graham though what is on the line views . Line about his views . I just look, i well, i think i just look, i think over the years, some of the tweets have you know, i dont them in front me. Dont have them in front of me. So, i mean, but but look, i dont think it should be cancelled. Should cancelled. I think you should have a platform. And what frightens the more frightens me is that the more people left, people who on the on the left, in inverted commas, the of in inverted commas, the sort of liberal group in that group thing more thing happens than the more people theres people think theres a conspiracy the more people conspiracy and the more people think a thousand think that a thousand flowers bloom, including the Edinburgh Festival. Even if dont festival. Even if we dont want to attend show, what to attend every show, what interests is did the left interests me is how did the left become, pointed become, as christine pointed out, out, become, as christine pointed out, out, a out, and youve pointed out, a beacon liberalism and beacon of liberalism and tolerance becoming this tolerance to now becoming this equation. And thats what worries me some of the liberalism tolerance comes liberalism and tolerance comes from the right. Now, word. Now, final word. Now, final word. Clue absolutely in that clue is absolutely in that ludicrous release, in ludicrous press release, all in capital sort of capital letters are sort of people in green people who write to you in green ink we are an inclusive ink saying we are an inclusive venue, but were not having this right. Know , f know, mean, right. Know , mean, what f know , mean, what a you know, i mean, what a right that matthew laws are indeed. Right that matthew laws are indeed. Very good point. Indeed. Very good point. My superstar with me my Superstar Panel with me all also coming as all night. But also coming up as its been revealed that a third of legal immigrants housed at a former the former raf base have quit the site of plush hotels. Site in favour of plush hotels. Is right that lefty is lee anderson right that lefty lawyers bleeding heart lawyers and bleeding Heart Charities who blocked the government blame for the government are to blame for the crisis . The tory deputy chairman says as bad as the says they are as bad as the people smugglers. Hes going to join me the studio next. Join me live in the studio next.

Channel sunday from nine only on news britains news. Channel stand by britains news. Channel stand by for westminsters toughest talk in mp lee anderson and royal author angela levin. First, though, the clash is and the woke remake of kids classic snow white is looking like one of disneys own goals , with brand disneys own goals, with brand experts predicting the pc film will be a huge and costly flop even before its march 2024 release, lead actress Rachel Zegler has been riling up fans by declaring she hates the original 1937 film and you couldnt believe this, could you call him prince charming, a stalker . Stalker . I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so there was a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Yeah , weird. Where disney has yeah, weird. Where disney has also earned flak for scrapping the seven and instead calling them magical creatures who are multiracial or multi gender and vary in height. It follows disney butchering other hit films with their work, including the little mermaid, toy story spin off lightyear and peter pan. So what do you think . Is disney ruining the classics by turning them rogue, doing battle on this now , britains battle on this now, britains biggest ever panto star, Christopher Biggins, who is starring in snow white this christmas , and the uber woke christmas, and the uber woke maybe the wokeist man in america. Journalist and author of the case for cancel culture , ernest case for cancel culture, ernest owens begins. Case for cancel culture, ernest owens begins. What are they owens begins. What are they doing to our snow white . Well, its disgraceful. I mean, why did Rachel Zegler accept the role . Accept the role . Yes. Yes. I mean, she feels very strongly she should have said no. No. I think she does it for money and now shes turning her back on it and saying all these ridiculous things and putting the film into jeopardy. Its just ludicrous. I cant understand it. I dont know what shes doing. I mean, you know, shes doing. I mean, you know, shes doing. I mean, you know, she was brilliant in west side story. I loved her doing that. And she should be from margot robbie, who is Just Brilliant in barbie and whos about to earn 50 million from that film. She 50 million from that film. She should take, you know , a bit of should take, you know, a bit of what . Of what margot does. What . Of what margot does. Margot is a star. And knows how to handle things. She doesnt go around saying barbie is the worst thing ever. No. She promotes it in the hope that theyll make another film and theyre going to make another film, which im really pleased about, but begins if disney, right . If disney thinks the story of snow white is so scandalous because, you know, apparently the big controversy over the 1937 original is that prince charming didnt ask for consent before he goes went in for the kiss with snow white. You know, why is disney remaking it then, if they think the original is so disgraceful and snow so woke they dont disney dont think its disgraceful. Disney are making it because they know theyre going to make what they thought they would make money as opposed make a lot of money as opposed to now is going to happen. To what now is going to happen. It i mean, it probably wont. I mean, i hear it and hear theyre holding it now and seeing if ever come out. Seeing if itll ever come out. Its ludicrous. How can one its just ludicrous. How can one actress ruin a whole film like this . Its madness. Absolutely. This . Its madness. Absolutely. The world has gone bonkers. The world has gone bonkers. Ernest owens. Why did Rachel Zegler take on this role, given she seems to have such disdain for the concept of snow white and prince charming . And prince charming . I think this is an exaggeration. I think she made one remark, andifs i think she made one remark, and its observing history. Its funny that you mentioned the barbie remark, because in america theres a lot of conservatives that think barbie, the barbie film, was super woke. And so for you to, you know, kind of praise margot robbie, and so for you to, you know, kind hate aise margot robbie, and so for you to, you know, kind hate her margot robbie, and so for you to, you know, kind hate her overjot robbie, and so for you to, you know, kind hate her over here bbie, and so for you to, you know, kind hate her over here blthe they hate her over here in the united states, the conservatives, think the conservatives, do they think the barbie too woke too and barbie movie is too woke too and and aware . And i think and too aware . And i think things evolve. You know , if you things evolve. You know, if you want to watch the original snow white, you go to disney plus white, you can go to disney plus and but to be and you can watch it. But to be honest , im and you can watch it. But to be honest, im sure theres no trigger warning. But you could trigger warning. But you could watch it and you can enjoy it and you can watch the new one. And if you dont like the new one, you can watch the one, you can always watch the old either disney old one. Either way, disney is going money. Are going to make money. People are going to make money. People are going to make money. People are going to watch it. Its going to be a success and its going to be a success and its going to be rachel, rachels be fine. And rachel, rachels remark a little that remark is a little remark that no like crazy about no ones like going crazy about the i mean, shes the united states. I mean, shes one she made one remark. One person. She made one remark. And end of the day, and at the end of the day, meghan megan kelly, one meghan kelly, megan kelly, one of the biggest broadcasters in the whos a regular on this the us whos a regular on this show, absolute furious about show, was absolute furious about it. Yes, because she has to be it. Yes, because she has to be because thats the buzz its going to bring the movie you was not even talking about this until she made that so until she made that remark.

Weve got thousands of people in our cast and the business is phenomenal. Were nearly full in that huge theatre in southampton, the mayflower theatre. So people thats what people want. Its like, for instance, your Previous Story , why dont people Previous Story, why dont people just go to see things and make up their own minds . You know , i up their own minds . You know, i dont need to be told by car or anything like that that this is, you know, that prince charming is a stalker. You know, that prince charming is a stalker. Its a joke.

Ernest millions and millions are switching off disney plus are not going to see their movies. Disney plus are not going to see their movies. When are you going their movies. When are you going to understand that . Actually the vast majority of the publication of the population doesnt want woke shoved down their throats. Woke shoved down their throats. I dont think woke is being shoved down people throat. I think that theyre trying think that theyre just trying to brand. Disney to spread their brand. Disney has reputation in the past has had a reputation in the past of making fantasy movies and princess movies that necessarily was not. But to be honest, i think this is messaging thats from far right america. From the far right in america. Theres far right theres a lot of far right people are trying to call. People that are trying to call. All right, please. All right, please. Theres nothing said about the it. Ernest the right about it. Ernest thats your opinion. Thats your opinion. But come down here to us and you see the protesters out there. You come and you come and tell begins to his face that hes far right. I mean, thats ludicrous. Ludicrous. Saying that theres im saying that theres a push that rhetoric against these types of woke disney movies. I mean, you heard what happened to the little mermaid, all the racist remarks they made about halle bailey , you know, about halle bailey, you know, the black mermaid , that was the black mermaid, that was uncalled for and unnecessary. Uncalled for and unnecessary. So, okay, lets be real. All right. Great debate. Thank you. As ever.

Did anyone privately tell you of. I think the thing is, dan, i was backed by millions of people up and down the country. My inbox went into meltdown. My my, my whatsapp, my, my twitter, my facebook. I was getting letters, too, through the letterbox at work. You know, theres a lot of people out there, especially gb news viewers, that were getting in thousands to in touch by the thousands to say, youre saying what were thinking and we need more of that. We need more of that. No, do. But look, indeed. No, we do. But look, in that you only have to in saying that you only have to look at wales to see just how bad things will be for the rest of the uk if there is a Labour Government and obviously this week weve seen the serious side of things with with the terrible condition of the nhs in wales, but theres also just some ridiculous stuff going on. Lee so now the labour so have you heard now the labour run Welsh Government is ordering pubuc run Welsh Government is ordering public buildings to fly, celebrating so called. Id never celebrating so called. Id never heard of this. Aaron mantic and asexual people in its latest woke push. Whats going on here . Woke push. Whats going on here . Well, its a shocker down into i mean i dont even know what that means but you can bet your Bottom Dollar its a load more woke nonsense. Look, the more woke nonsense. Look, the Welsh Government need to welsh Labour Government need to concentrate their nhs. Its concentrate on their nhs. Its that its that bad. Wales that bad. Its that bad. Wales in welsh that the welsh residents, the people, the patients has go into hospital for treatment. Theyre actually trying england to trying to escape to england to get better treatment. Thats how bad it is, you and starmer bad it is, you know. And starmer , slippery stormy holds this up some sort of flagship, you know the welsh labour party, the welsh nhs service. We know its crumbling , we know its crumbling, we know its struggling. And all they want to talk about flags on talk about is flags on buildings. A load of buildings. What a load of rubbish buildings. What a load of rub and the way, because i and by the way, because i didnt this aramark antics didnt know this aramark antics apparently have no romantic attraction apparently to anyone. But look welsh are Welsh Government spokesperson said raise inappropriate flags on pubuc raise inappropriate flags on Public Sector buildings is one of the ways in which Public Sector buildings can show support. Of course, the other support. Of course, the other horror story that we have , and horror story that we have, and its another warning sign , is its another warning sign, is whats going on in london with the failed mayor, sadiq khan. The failed mayor, sadiq khan. Have you heard about his late latest ridiculous plan to punish motorists after you laze . Hes actually to going hit drivers again by charging hundreds of thousands to pay pay to use the blackwall tunnel. So now if you blackwall tunnel. So now if you drive around london, you know how critical it is to use that tunnel. So this is another toll he he genuine. Can we just be honest about what hes trying to do . He doesnt want any londoner to drive a car, does he . Cant we just start being honest about that we just start being honest about tha its robbery without its robbery without violence. Yeah. The man is perceived as a thief , and you perceived as a thief, and you can disagree with that because weve got the ulez expansion in now. Weve got this nonsense. It now. Weve got this nonsense. It would appear its like a modern day highwayman. Its like dick turpin is out robbing people on the highway. You know, the poor the highway. You know, the poor old motorists have got enough to content this country content with in this country with the cost of fuel, the cost of Car Insurance of the Car Insurance and is harming you harming them once again. You roll next year. We need to roll on next year. We need to get gone. Get this man gone. Yeah, indeed. And obviously, theres candidate there. Yeah, weve got one candidate, very candidate. Candidate, very good candidate. Susan. Look, nigel and susan. But look, nigel farage, idea on you, farage, heres an idea on you, liz. Have a look liz. I want you to have a look at you can respond the at this. You can respond off the bat. Okay its something the conservatives could do that would popularity would boost their popularity and frankly, the frankly, i think split the labour many ways and labour party in many ways and save me many, many people, pensioners , small businesses, pensioners, small businesses, those who havent got expensive motor cars, save them from an awful lot of pain. It seems to awful lot of pain. It seems to me to be absolutely a no brainer that mark harper needs to liven up. Roll his sleeves up and get involved in the fight. So according to nigel, the conservative government could actually stop you. Liz well, it sounds like a very attractive proposition , very attractive proposition, but, you know, stopping you coming in and doesnt stop con and im a great believer in democracy and the way we stop the expansion of ulez and the charging for going through tunnels and any other harebrained schemes. Hes got is by getting rid of the man next yeah by getting rid of the man next year. What i want say. Year. Thats what i want say. I want to focus on campaigning to get susan next if do get susan in next year. If we do that, successful, then that, if were successful, then all this rubbish you see that cars with stops cars coming out with it stops straight rid of straight away. Lets get rid of the man, not just policy. The man, not just the policy. You it can be do you do you think it can be done . Whats so done . Because whats so interesting the last interesting is that the last london election was london Mayoral Election was actually superstar actually one of our Superstar Panellists. Shaun panellists. Yes. Lord shaun bailey, candidate bailey, who was the candidate and wasnt and everyone thought he wasnt going to be able to win. And then polls came out then when the polls came out right near the end, honestly, if your party had given him central support, he could have won. So support, he could have won. So are you going to throw your support . We are. I will be out next year with our brilliant candidate knocking on doors in london. Look weve proved in oxbridge in south islip, you know, with if youve got that single policy there, we can really hammer on on this. Look, the people have got to the people of london have got to make a choice. Now continue make a choice. Now you continue with basically with this man whos basically thieving stealing your thieving off you, stealing your money pocket or you can money out your pocket or you can fleecing people or you put fleecing people or you can put a candidate in as has told the world, that you will scrap the expansion if i was living in london, id be voting for susan. Look both sides the all look both sides of the story news. So this story here on gb news. So this is i spokesperson for sadiq is what i spokesperson for sadiq khan has said. Is what i spokesperson for sadiq khetheas said. Is what i spokesperson for sadiq khethe deepi. Is what i spokesperson for sadiq khethe deep khan is not prepared the deep khan is not prepared to step back, delay or watered down vital green policies like ulez, which will not only save lives and protect childrens lungs by cleaning up our polluted air, but help us to fight the climate crisis. He has continued to listen to the concerns of londoners over recent has announced recent months and has announced a huge expansion the a huge expansion to the scrappage scheme. Scrappage scheme. Means all londoners with that means all londoners with non ulez compliant cars will be eligible Financial Support eligible for Financial Support to switch to greener, less polluting vehicles.

Next, though, angela levin gives us exclusive insight on prince harrys latest Netflix Documentary. Documentary. It is here at the Invictus Games that you realise whatever you carry , it was the you carry, it was the springboard that propelled you to the next level. To the next level. So it looks like a good show, actually. But why has meghan been entirely cut from the trailer . Angela levin reveals all next Jim Davidsons irreverent take on the weeks news later tonight. But now its time for celebrated royal biographer and journalist angela levin. And tonight, prince harry released a powerful trailer for a new Netflix Documentary called the hean Netflix Documentary called the heart of invictus in a remarkable change of course from his previous collaborations with the company , the duke, who is the company, the duke, who is preparing for his Invictus Games brainchild to kick off its latest edition next month , can latest edition next month, can be seen in the teaser telling viewers how veterans can learn to be part of a community again. Watch it is here at the Invictus Games that you realise whatever you carry, it was the springboard that propelled you to the next level. To the next level. If your goal was to make your country proud , youve done it. Country proud, youve done it. Your goal was to make your family happy. Youve achieved it. You are people of substance, of resilience, of strength. You of resilience, of strength. You have the heart of invictus. Have the heart of invictus. I mean, angela levin, this is the prince harry that weve probably been wanting to see for a very long time. Probably been wanting to see for a very long time. The invictus a very long time. The Invictus Games is unquestionably a brilliant project, and that looks like a really powerful film. Film. Yes, i felt very moved when i saw the thing of just advertising it, because when i went round with him in 2017 and wed see lots of soldiers and where they were staying to try and get them better, he was absolutely superb. He gave them enormous courage and he said, you know , if youre healing, we you know, if youre healing, we all need healing. You know, all need healing. You know, dont worry, itll come. You know, youll be the family will be fine with you. The country will be so proud of you. This was harry at his best . This was harry at his best . Yes, this was harry at his best. Incredibly positive , but best. Incredibly positive, but very subtle. He never asked anything to, you know, to personal. He was just really there for them. And hed he made jokes. Yes. And he was jokes. Yes. And he was absolutely wonderful. And i absolutely wonderful. And i would talk to these guys after he moved on to the next one. And some of them say, you know, ive beenin some of them say, you know, ive been in a room with the cloud, with the curtains closed. I havent done a thing. I havent wanted to go here because i dont think im worth anything. I was very strong. Now im weak. He said hes made me feel i want to live again. And this was said in various different ways to at least 20 people whod served in the army who were badly physically wounded or mentally. So i couldnt believe that this was harry again. I mean, it was very touching and moving. What is quite interesting, though, when they were filming this documentary , the cameras this documentary, the cameras followed him and meghan around everywhere. There were lots of behind the scenes shots going on at the previous Invictus Games, she doesnt feature once in the trailer. We obviously dont know if shes been dropped from the show itself , but do you if shes been dropped from the show itself, but do you think thats a significant decision . Thats a significant decision . I think its a very significant decision and i think they didnt want meghan to take they didnt want meghan to take the shes the show because once shes there, has to be in the there, she has to be in the front line. But what is said is that she is going to it. She might not stay the whole week. It feels like professionally they are moving in separate directions at the moment, doesnt is another example. Yeah. I mean, i said well, yeah. I mean, i, i said that i think theyre further and further actually harry further away, but actually harry now seems to be much happier, much stronger and actually the things he said he wanted to talk to about the, the invalids coming better, i felt actually it was for himself that he can be stronger. And i did ask him a very difficult question to say, what can i ask you about difficult question . He said, all right. And i said , when you go right. And i said, when you go and see these soldiers whove had terrible experiences and theyve been scared and they want to build up again, do you feel that youre also helping yourself for that . Its therapy for you. And he paused for at for you. And he paused for at least a minute. For you. And he paused for at least a minute. I for you. And he paused for at least a minute. I thought for you. And he paused for at least a minute. I thought id be thrown out of Kensington Palace where i did it. And then he said, yes, absolutely. I feel it said, yes, absolutely. I feel it. It helps me to heal as well. Yeah, and thats quite interesting actually, whether that will come over with it. I got the feeling seeing those trailers that it would and i hopeit trailers that it would and i hope it does because perhaps he can see through lots of things that he didnt want to see before and he will move forward. But shes so powerful all over him. Well, whats been interesting , though, she is also wanting to be seen on her own because we saw this social media picture of her posted this week with her hairdresser , katie lee, and the hairdresser, katie lee, and the author, cleo wade having a great time there. They are. They are. So i think thats such a nonsense. I think thats very childlike that because she harry was in the pictures and having fun with his best man. Yeah , but you dont have to yeah, but you dont have to come out and compete with that. She doesnt want him to get any more attention than she does. She wants shes used to him walking behind her like him now walking behind her like a servant. So i think that thats what that is. Thats got nothing to do with actually , im nothing to do with actually, im having a lovely time. Shes got to stage. Who cares to be in centre stage. Who cares who she sees on a day or women go out and see their friends. You your you know, you meet your friends, you know, its just its pathetic. King charles has made the decision to spend summer staying at balmoral, sticking with the tradition of the late queen. This has pleased traditionalists , of course, because lots of folk believe that he would prefer to stay at birkhall, where he has enjoyed most of his summers. Do you think this is the right decision . Its almost like hes paying tribute to his mother here. I think it is paying tribute to his mother. And i when to his mother. And i think when youre in home that shes been youre in a home that shes been to can feel to so many times, you can feel a presence and i think what presence and i think thats what they want, because you they both want, because you wouldnt do it if camilla wasnt interested as well. Think interested as well. And i think thats very powerful. And i think it be the last time think it might be the last time because has mentioned because he has mentioned about turning into museum , turning it into a museum, letting people sort of letting people come sort of might be a tribute to the late queen. Yes. This year. And then over the years Going Forward , he will the years Going Forward, he will open balmoral up for us to see because in reality, probably long term, hell be at birkhall i and i m and i think if he wants people to come over, theyre not going to stay there. Theyre going to stay there. Theyre going to stay there. Theyre going to come and visit him. Thats place, too , thats a good place, too, because all have that because they can all have that feeling. Leave their feeling. People leave their feeling. People leave their feeling them very emotional. Yeah, of course. Yes. Angela levin , thank you so we levin, thank you so much. We will next week. Will speak next week. You. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up , thank you. Coming up, father thank you.

But this coronavirus variant now in two countries has a lot of new mutations. That makes it very different to previous omicron strains. And so omicron strains. And so potentially more able to cause a big wave. Big wave. Two more sequences of the Second Generation ba. 2 lineage just showed up in denmark. This is the real deal. This is the real deal. My various science whatsapp groups are buzzing genetic uneage groups are buzzing genetic lineage clips and diagrams flying back and forth. I understand a little of the detail , but it looks like its detail, but it looks like its once again time to mask up. Let me tell you now there is more chance of me deflecting to sly news than wearing a snappy on the tube this summer , like on the tube this summer, like all other covid doomsayers over the last few years, independent sage got everything wrong during the pandemic and have zero credibility. So my opinion there packet science contributed to our current excess deaths crisis crippling inflation and a generation of damaged kids. So Christine Hamilton , these people Christine Hamilton, these people should be ignored. The reason im talking about this is because the rest of the media are starting to jump on this bandwagon again and reporting their claims seriously. These their claims seriously. These focus charlatans , well, they focus charlatans, well, they were exposed. They were liars. Theyve ruined our economy. I have no idea whether theres a new strain coming. There may be it. May we may all wake up with covid tomorrow morning. But what theyre doing is to spread is theyre trying to spread fear. Theyre to create fear. Theyre trying to create hysteria. Want wear fear. Theyre trying to create hjmask, want wear fear. Theyre trying to create hjmask, they want wear fear. Theyre trying to create hjmask, they are want wear fear. Theyre trying to create hjmask, they are welcomed vear fear. Theyre trying to create hjmask, they are welcomed tonr a mask, they are welcomed to wear a but the idea that wear a mask. But the idea that wear a mask. But the idea that we all go back to wearing we should all go back to wearing and all be locked and we should all be locked up and we should all be locked up and goodness they and goodness havent they learned dont learned their lesson . They dont work economy well, its work the economy well, its a bit like quasi. Why . Its a bit like why do we encourage do things we encourage people to do things that feel better but that make them feel better but they dont actually make a difference . Pseudoscience. Difference . Pseudoscience. These people rather a lot of these people rather enjoyed the fact that they were very much in the limelight. Oh yeah, they love the twitter following the tv interviews and i think theyre going to knighthoods stir the same kind of hysteria. The same worry of hysteria. The same worry actually was scary. I was in actually was scary. I was in government at the time. We hadnt government at the time. We hadnt seen this before, but having seen the effects of the lockdowns, having seen the fact that went right that public spending went right through has caused a through the roof, has caused a lot the inflation that we lot of the inflation that we see. I dont think any government going go back government is going to go back down draconian. Down to that, that draconian. The public i dont think the public wont be fooled again. No. We have learned our lesson. We will ignore ridicule this draconian. Dont think were to i dont think were going to see that. And unless they make it absolutely mandatory. Well, i ignored on. Ignored it very early on. Mean, matthew, the i mean, look, matthew, the right i even know right the reason i even know that ive had this ridiculous new strain because i would never have a covid test, but basically i passed it on to a young relative and their parents took her to hospital. And got her covid test. But it was a its a cold. I covid test. But it was a its a cold. I have not told a single souli cold. I have not told a single soul i had this new strain. When did you have it . We might all a couple of weeks ago. We might all like. I was actually at work. It was just before on holiday. Before i went on holiday. God. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Im going to sue you. Cold old. Its a cold. Yeah , thats the thing that yeah, thats the thing that we dont hear a lot of. And of course, what was the particular issue which the covid inquiry is going going to take so going on is going to take so long not to get any long were not going to get any practical from it in long were not going to get any pract for, from it in long were not going to get any pract for, you from it in long were not going to get any practfor, you know,ym it in long were not going to get any pract for, you know, fort in long were not going to get any pract for, you know, for any new strains. But the covid inquiry is a stitch because not stitch up because its not looking at damages of looking at the damages of lockdown. Why do we have lockdown. I mean, why do we have this lots out . And also, why the effects of lockdown was wider than that . I mean , yeah, its effects. You mean, yeah, its effects. You know, kids not being able to socialise issues , households socialise issues, households breaking up. There was a whole raft of social consequences that havent been looked at when a whole generation of children have had their education. Just well, i wouldnt say destroyed, very adversely. Destroyed, but very adversely. The most sensible approach in europe taken by the social europe was taken by the social democratic government sweden, europe was taken by the social demo allow tegnell who was who was in charge of the health of the nafion charge of the health of the nation to make the decisions. And so he didnt. And you got the consequence. And you got the consequence. But actually you say is but actually what you say is absolutely was was but actually what you say is absyopposition was was but actually what you say is absyopposition that was was but actually what you say is absyopposition that was driving the opposition that was driving the opposition that was driving the harder and the government to harder and harder. Media and the harder. And the media and the media, because of the hysteria of the likes of the british Bashing Corporation, sly news and itv , who loved it, and woke itv, who loved it, because happened to their because what happened to their ratings through everybody was at home. Was , of course, home. Everyone was, of course, a huge amount of amnesia going on. People who were then and people who were then supporting lockdown and encouraging longer encouraging it and going longer and and now trying to and further and now trying to wash their thats the wash their hands. Thats the whole thing. Like my party its a bit like in my party with iraq war. Everybody, with the iraq war. Everybody, everybody claims were everybody who claims they were everybody claims they were against its now against it. And its now everybody oh, i was everybody says, oh, i was a sceptic. They werent at the time. Okay. Okay. Now both sides of the now we do both sides of the story here gb news. So story here on gb news. So professor lawrence young, virologist at warwick university, said while we must be careful to not panic every time a new variant should that be scary and is detected . All this serves to remind us that we need to remain vigilant and that covid over. Oh my covid isnt over. Oh my goodness, i want say so much, goodness, i want to say so much, but just. I know. Im just but im just. I know. Im just good as it. Im just good as it behaved. Hes entitled to his views. Yes, he is entitled. Yes, he is entitled. That was reasonable. That was reasonable. But mean, vigilance is but i mean, vigilance is always reasonable. Absolutely. Always reasonable. Absolutely. Think that was fair. Okay. I think that was fair. Lets keep washing hands. Lets keep washing our hands. Moving on. Im staying my moving on. Fresh from setting himself on holiday, finally holiday, President Biden finally turned his attention to the wildfires torn through wildfires that have torn through maui killing maui in hawaii, killing 106 people. Joe appeared people. But sleepy joe appeared to forget one Crucial Detail the name of the island. Watch the Army Helicopters help Fire Suppression and efforts on the big island because theres still some burning on the big island. Not the one, not the one where you see on television all the time. Im speechless, the time. Im speechless, genuinely speechless. Genuinely speechless. Notes to read. Notes to read. Yes , teleprompter. Yes, teleprompter. Yes, teleprompter. Surely his speechwriters would give him notes. Still better than trump. Whats going on . Well, i disagree actually, on that. But he did at least address the tragedy time around, which tragedy this time around, which was in those was better than in those previous interviews. Hes going was better than in those previo we nterviews. Hes going was better than in those previo we ignored s. Hes going was better than in those previo we ignored it hes going was better than in those previo we ignored it for s going was better than in those previo we ignored it for nowing was better than in those previo we ignored it for now. G there. We ignored it for now. Will you come talk about the hawaii response , mr president . Hawaii response, mr president . And while biden still wont travel to hawaii until next monday , former President Trump monday, former President Trump has stepped into the breach and delivered a dress sympathy and warmest regards to the people of hawaii and specifically all of those who have been so gravely and irreparably hurt by the tragedy of the wildfires in maui , something the likes of which have seldom been seen anywhere near at any time. Near at any time. Come on. So much better than biting. Well, they want to re elect biden and the democrats want to put him forward again. It is it is unbelievable. Hes the leader of the western world, for gods sake, because he cant run again from the democrats. From the democrats. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no. I could not remember the name of hawaii or maui. Maui. Maui. Maui. I mean, democrat state. I mean, democrat state. When do we seriously Start Talking about impeach . I think theyve got to if hes up against trump in the debate, i think its over. Well, he wiped the floor wont but want biden stay wont but we want biden to stay because suddenly because if biden suddenly topples well topples over or whatever, well get Kamala Kamala harris even more. Exactly. More. Exactly. Crazy last. Do stand by, because coming up, so flip flop lives up to his name by admitting he would not have blocked screaming sturgeons gender sulphide bill. So is rishi sunak right . But the labour leader cant be trusted to protect women and girls by Superstar Panel returned to debate that. But next his edinburgh comedy show was cancelled for the crime of having father teds creator, Graham Linehan , on the bill. So Graham Linehan, on the bill. So is the bbc right that andrew doyle been given . I doyle should have been given . I should given the venues should have given the venues bosses the bosses a heads up about the shows content. Well, the star shows content. Well, the star of gb news is just minutes away Patrick Christys on gb news. Im gb news radio. Britains best gb news radio. Britains best entertainer , jim davidson is entertainer, jim davidson is standing by. But first, father ted, creator turned staunch defender of womens rights , graham of womens rights, Graham Linehan said he is taking legal action after being suddenly cancelled by a venue at the Edinburgh Fringe. So yesterday, Edinburgh Fringe. So yesterday, as i mentioned , my digest at the as i mentioned, my digest at the top of the show, the leith arches said in a statement, we do not support this comedian or his views. We are an inclusive venue , will not allow such views venue, will not allow such views to our space. Heres how to violate our space. Heres how linehan. Speaking to linehan responded. Speaking to Patrick Christys earlier. Patrick christys earlier. I have done it without a defaming me on their Instagram Post as a bigot, which is the first thing these people always do. So, you know , unfortunately do. So, you know, unfortunately we are we are beginning Legal Proceedings. The promoter of the proceedings. The promoter of the show is our very own andrew doyle who has announced. They have found a new venue for linehan and co to perform. But andrew doyle, this is a shocking situation. I think it shows that free speech in britain is dead and one thing that really, really surprised me is that you are not actually able to announce the venue now until the very last minute. I mean, this is like mccarthy era stuff. Itsjust mean, this is like mccarthy era stuff. Its just that the activists tend to be quite hostile creatures. You know, they can be so ferocious. And so we just want ferocious. And so we just want the people whove bought tickets to have a great night. The people whove bought tickets to have a great night. We to have a great night. We advertise the gig. We sold the gig and then of this gig out. And then all of this kicked off and so weve now found another venue thats just around the corner from the venue where its meant to be. So everyone, we can just transfer where its meant to be. So eve tickets we can just transfer where its meant to be. So eve tickets we ca|s01st transfer where its meant to be. So eve tickets we ca|so what nsfer where its meant to be. So eve tickets we ca|so what well the tickets over. So what well do but worried that if but youre worried that if you announce this publicly number one, they would try some sort of campaign against the venue, might venue, but presumably they might also physically barricade also try to physically barricade themselves or Something Like that. Themselves or Something Like tha it wouldnt because the it wouldnt work because the venue the management it wouldnt work because the vencompletely the management it wouldnt work because the ven completely on 1e management it wouldnt work because the ven completely on board. Iagement it wouldnt work because the ven completely on board. And nent it wouldnt work because the vencompletely on board. And the are completely on board. And the reason theyve taken this is they the principle they believe in the principle of free thats really free speech. So thats really good. Email good. Well just email people the theyll up the address and theyll turn up and go and do and the activists can go and do something why do something else. I mean, why do they care . Something else. I mean, why do the butre . Something else. I mean, why do the but this is an ordinary but this is an extra ordinary worrying thing. I mean, we saw. Joanna cherry initially cancelled from the fringe as well. Its all because these people believe that biological sex matters. I mean, thats something that andrew, everyone on the left a few years ago agreed with. Yeah, its something that 99 of the country agree with. Its particularly troubling what happened to joanna cherry because that was at the stand comedy club where that her comedy club where that where her appearance was meant be. Appearance was meant to be. Thats club ive worked thats a club that ive worked with i did with many, many times. I did many of solo edinburgh shows many of my solo edinburgh shows at the stand. The whole ethos there was free speech and there was always free speech and whats happening is certain members of the management, i suppose, getting nervous suppose, are getting nervous about members who are about Staff Members who are saying, im not going to work if this person theyre with a different opinion. So i think its reflective its really reflective on a problem society more broadly problem in society more broadly that of that theres a certain type of young who feels that they young person who feels that they can that opinion cannot be can that their opinion cannot be challenged theyve been challenged because theyve been told challenged, told that if youre challenged, your emotional safety is at risk. So inevitably that risk. And so inevitably that when they old enough to get when they get old enough to get jobs, that will filter out into that that world. Jobs, that will filter out into tha and that world. Jobs, that will filter out into tha and were world. Jobs, that will filter out into tha and were nowd. That and were now seeing that happening. So happening. And i think whats so shocking, is that graham shocking, andrew, is that Graham Linehan they surprised linehan was they surprised members of the london liberal media. I mean, this is the bloke who was one of the biggest stars behind the scenes of channel 4, you know, far. And ted, the behind the scenes of channel 4, you know, far. And ted, the it crowd black books. This is not someone who actually is conservative in a small sea or big sea way. No, but because of one particular view, a bit like jk rowling , he has now been jk rowling, he has now been ostracised and ostracised, socially ostracised financially. He comes from the left. I mean, he was even a bit of an activist from a left wing perspective. I had spats with him back on the day online because we disagreed on various things. That world. Things. So he knows that world. But he also now recognises that that world is very insular and i think what he said, hes a bit embarrassed by some of the things back in day things he said back in the day because realised this because now hes realised this one view, having a one point of view, having a different opinion slightly different opinion that slightly deviates from what the activists say you are cancelled. And say and you are cancelled. And he really has been cancelled. I know people say cancel culture does exist. Youve just does not exist. Youve just listed a33 very key sitcoms in our recent history and this man cant get work within the comedy industry. Hes got his musical father, which is being held father, ted, which is being held hostage by Hat Trick Productions who own the rights. Theyre saying theyre going to put saying theyre not going to put it graham its it on. And graham says its because the staff because a member of the staff there activist and theyve there is an activist and theyve capitulated him. Capitulated to him. Doyle we have both so andrew doyle we have both been here at gb news since day one. And one of the reasons that we joined jib news is because we were aware, acutely aware of the threat to free speech. And in fact , your show that threat to free speech. And in fact, your show that has been on the channel since day one on sunday nights, free speech nafion sunday nights, free speech nation is all about that. It feels like the rest of the population are catching up. Theres really fascinating major poll commissioned by gb news, lets be honest about it. But undertaken by one of the countrys top polling agencies showed just 14 of the population dis agreeing with the statement that free speech in the United Kingdom is in decline. So this is a battle of our lifetime, isnt it . Well, it absolutely is. And thats why i wanted to focus on free the show. I think free speech in the show. I think a people have been a lot of people have been playing up because, well , playing catch up because, well, to be honest, they havent been informed whats going on. You informed of whats going on. You know, mean, the issues know, i mean, i cover the issues of identity lot on the of gender identity a lot on the show, have done since the show, and i have done since the start because nobody else was. I mean, youre getting odd mean, now youre getting the odd interview on interview here and there on on other channels, but they really werent time. Werent for a long, long time. You have thought so you would have thought Graham Linehan was the devil incarnate you just looked at incarnate if you just looked at social media. But thats because thats all they so they and they they do. So they look and they see, people calling him they do. So they look and they sebigot, people calling him they do. So they look and they sebigot, callingeople calling him they do. So they look and they sebigot, calling him calling him they do. So they look and they sebigot, calling him for. Ling him they do. So they look and they sebigot, calling him for all] him a bigot, calling him for all right, all stuff. So they right, all this stuff. So they just but actually, just dismiss him. But actually, when you understand the issues, when you understand the issues, when understand hes when you understand what hes actually standing up for, womens gay rights, this womens rights, gay rights, this kind interviewed kind of thing. I interviewed a woman on my show last weekend, a lesbian organised speed lesbian whod organised a speed dating for lesbians dating event for lesbians at a pub london and because she pub in london and because she said men are allowed. Yeah, said no men are allowed. Yeah, shes it cancelled. Right. Shes had it cancelled. Right. Because thats thats clearly a problem. And its not it wasnt it was a man who identifies as a woman demanding to come in to a lesbian speed dating event. Everyone knows this is ridiculous. Knows ridiculous. Everyone knows its absurd. Has absurd. And Graham Linehan has been this been on the right side of this debate. He said about debate. Everything he said about the medicalisation of gender non conforming youth, kids who are to grow up gay or are likely to grow up gay or kids who are autistic, who think theyre wrong body being theyre in the wrong body being affirmed in that put onto a pathway medicalisation and pathway to medicalisation and eventually sterilisation of course, hes been right about that and hes vindicated. That and hes vindicated. And the tavistock clinic, remember , thats what the bbc remember, thats what the bbc hated him so much for because he spoke against tavistock spoke out against tavistock clinic, has now been shut clinic, which has now been shut down by the government because its practises were so , so its practises were so, so disgusting. But look, youre going to keep on with your doing the show. Were doing the show tomorrow. Itsjust were doing the show tomorrow. Its just not going to be venue it was originally. Okay. Well, look, i it okay. Well, look, i hope it goes really well. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank much. Now ill thank you so much.

Gb news now coming weather on. Gb news now coming up in on cancelled soft touch charities and a rallying cry for the government to get their act together over the migrant crisis. British comedy legend jim davidson tackles the woke week with a healthy dose of his outrageous humour. Youre not going to want to miss jim tonight, believe me. But next in the media buzz, after you turning on u turn and turning on his u turn and admitting would not have admitting he would not have blocked nicola sturgeons hate agenda, bill is rishi agenda, south bill is rishi sunak right . That slippery starmer cant be trusted to protect women and girls. My superstar stuck in to Superstar Panel gets stuck in to the position of the labour leader this children. Youre listening to news radio. Radio. Now lets return to tomorrows news tonight in our media buzz. And more front pages media buzz. And more front pages are in the headline leading the daily mail tonight. Jim heist at the british museum. The paper says treasures spanning 3400 years of history have been stolen from the museums collection. The history girls is collection. The history girls is the front page headline on the mirror, which is dominated by the lionesses with the paper leading on their victory over the aussies and by the way, you guys are doing really well tonight on youtube. Were now tonight on youtube. Were now just 2000 followers away from the million mark. Were going to hit it this week, arent we . So if you are just tuning in now on youtube, head to gb news and subscribe my Superstar Panel. Back with me now, though , the back with me now, though, the author broadcaster christine author and broadcaster Christine Hamilton, former chancellor of the exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, and former labour advisor matthew lazor. Now in typical matthew lazor. Now in typical keir starmer style, the labour leader u turned on his own u turn by indicating he would not have blocked scheming sturgeons gender self id bill. Speaking in scotland , he alleged speaking in scotland, he alleged the government had misused their powers under devolution, saying they were intended not to empower the westminster government to block things out. Government to block things out. The Scottish Parliament wanted to do. But the Prime Minister has hit back hard, accusing starmer of putting women and girls at risk, saying first he was for self id. Then he tried was for self id. Then he tried to convince us he was against it. Now hes for it, but only if youre women and youre in scotland. Women and girls need their rights protected no matter where they live. Uk, its clear that live. In the uk, its clear that sir keir starmer lacks the strength stick any strength to stick to any position for long. He just changes his mind to fit whatever he works for him he thinks works for him politically. And i mean, thats politically. And i mean, thats backed up by some of these other greatest hits from sir flip flop. Our options must include campaigning for a public vote and nobody is ruling out remain as an option. Ive said on a number of occasions that we are not going back to the eu. Can you guarantee that under your leadership the 2019 labour commitments to nationalise water, energy, rail, the royal mail , theyll all be in labours mail, theyll all be in labours next election manifesto. Ive made that commitment. Ive made that commitment. Will you nationalise the Big Six Energy companies . Yes or no . No i mean, Christine Hamilton, we cant trust this bloke, can we . But when it comes to as to an issue as important as womens rights , as important as womens rights, that matters, doesnt it . Well, its pretty fundamental issue, isnt he . But isnt it certainly is to me as a woman, because we are the people, the women who are being marginalised. Im expected to call myself a cis woman. Well, excuse me. Am woman. Full excuse me. I am a woman. Full stop. Dont have to put stop. I dont have to put anything that. But he is anything with that. But he is the absolute epitome of these are my principles. And if you dont i have others, dont like them, i have others, as the precise. Sums up as is the precise. What sums up starmer little collage starmer in your little collage there that yes, he will. There shows that yes, he will. He sense power really seriously in his nostrils now and he will do almost anything to get his hands on it. But what is he going to do when hes got it . I dont think he has a clue. Hell dont think he has a clue. Hell do what he can. Whatever he takes to get but i just wish takes to get it. But i just wish i thought had i thought that he had some guiding principles. We guiding principles. I mean, we need havent had need a leader. We havent had a leader principles leader with real principles for such time. I mean, lets such a long time. I mean, lets mention the great lady, margaret thatcher. She was the last one, in my view , certainly the last in my view, certainly the last one who serious tory one who had serious tory principles and she knew what she wanted and she set out to get it. I dont think starmer does. I think and i dont think sunak does. I i think and i dont think sunak does. I mean, sunaks obviously a perfectly decent nice guy a perfectly decent, nice guy and im sure he loves animals and all that sort thing, but he all that sort of thing, but he doesnt have guiding light. Thats taylor swift. Thats taylor swift. Thats taylor swift. Well, matthew , i thought you well, matthew, i thought you might come to me real issue here, isnt there . There is a real issue. There is a real issue. Starmer, u turns on everything. Well, look down on scotland. This scottish issue , this is this scottish issue, this is a really important issue because it hasnt flip flopped. What he it hasnt flip flopped. What he said is that its the Scottish Labour Party which has is not a Branch Office as it was once described. It has its own right to set policy that the Scottish Labour Party has set its policy on this. The policy that keir has set that he will adopt in westminster when hes Prime Minister clear minister is absolutely clear which self id. So there which is no to self id. So there isnt a flip what isnt a flip flop. But what happensin isnt a flip flop. But what happens in scotland is for the Scottish Labour Party to decide. I get what that means. But that does mean though that sunak saying is that what sunak is saying is correct, that and in correct, that women and girls in scotland protected scotland would not be protected under. Under starmer. Exactly right, and thats exactly right, because saying that its up and thats exactly right, bethe;e saying that its up and thats exactly right, bethe whos saying that its up and thats exactly right, bethe whos saying itst its up and thats exactly right, bethe whos saying its ups up and thats exactly right, bethe whos saying its up to jp to the whos saying its up to the scottish labour and if they decide, you know, on all this, we know what theyve decided. Thats exactly thats their policy. But broader point policy. But the broader point that rights in that for womens rights in scotland that scotland, the point that christine is 100 right. Christine makes is 100 right. This is a man who now senses power. He can sniff powers. You power. He can sniff powers. You put it, you know, very keenly , put it, you know, very keenly, and he will say and do anything to achieve that result. I was to achieve that result. I was opposite him when he was in the shadow brexit secretary. I was shadow brexit secretary. I was the under secretary. He was the shadow and we had exchanges in the house of commons. And at that time you couldnt put a cigarette paper between him and corbyn. And he actually corbyn. Yeah. And he actually won the leadership, the labour leadership corbyn easter leadership on a corbyn easter ticket. And then having got ticket. And then having got there, he kicked away the stool that ladder that got him that the ladder that got him there. Matthew and theres now doing else. Doing something else. Thats a really good i think thats a really good point matthew. Point from kwasi matthew. I dont we should ever dont think we should ever forget that slippery starmer spent years advocating for corbyn to be Prime Minister and he also spent years advocating to overturn the biggest democratic mandate in british history. And that, to this day, history. And that, to this day, makes me feel physically ill. Makes me feel physically ill. Well, at the time, i think if peoples vote was the right, was the right policy, clearly were not going to rejoin the eu. Now, clearly, election, the clearly, the 2019 election, the right , the 2019, because right policy, the 2019, because the 29 well, it would have been a democratic vote, a Second Democratic vote to get the right to get on the detail. And look, to get on the detail. And look, guys, guys to get on the detail.

So this was all a bit gaga. But it started when the band invited a russian fan on stage to play the drums at a concert in georgia. The former soviet state that russia invaded in 2008.

And that the and they understand that the comment that all of the killers audience and fans are brothers and sisters be missed and sisters could be missed construed. But before anyone dares try to cancel Brandon Flowers, whos like one of the greatest musicians of our day, that was a totally innocent mistake. And remember, as he mistake. And remember, as he always said , were only human, always said, were only human, right . Kwasi kwarteng, right . Matthew Kwasi Kwarteng, Christine Hamilton , do stand by, Christine Hamilton, do stand by, because coming up, the lionesses made History Today by reaching the World Cup Final.

But were starting with something really serious tonight because you are quite rightly fired up about this. Fired up about this.

Heres how youre going to get on. Youre going to be met somewhere. Youre going to be taken. Theyre charity , you theyre a nice charity, you know, going after know, is going to look after you and a bag full of stuff and give you a bag full of stuff and give you a bag full of stuff and you load of money and whatever.

Its a dangerous trip and look, all these films that were seeing on the television looks like a holiday brochure, like a houday like a holiday brochure, like a holiday advert. The bad guys saying, so the bad guys are saying, look, britain , you get look, come to britain, you get met, you get this, you get that. Its crazy. Theyre risking their lives.

For public. It has been clear for some time the current some time that the current government interested in government is more interested in hardline anti refugee rhetoric than solutions. Than delivering real solutions. Now moving on to. Oh, sorry. Yep jim. Jim. I think thats absolute rubbish. That is a complete cop out of the people in this country. We want to protect our borders. Its nothing to do with these poor people that are leaving a country and going through other wonderful countries to get to our soft touch country and meet diane abbott on the beach with some its some luncheon vouchers. Its absolute poppycock. No, indeed. Now, look, jim, i no, indeed. Now, look, jim, i want to move on to this big hollywood row because Bradley Cooper has sparked something called a jew face controversy. Called a jew face controversy.

If he wants if youre portraying someone, youve got to look like i couldnt be nelson mandela. You know whos nelson mandela. You know whos going to play einstein . Lenny going to play einstein .

I know, though if he didnt nodded, hed cut the cake, wouldnt he not . Jim . Jim, call maidens been cancelled. Youre not the only one. I want to show you this moment where a bbc radio scotland presenter weighed in to the Graham Linehan comedy row with this tone deaf. Take given that Graham Linehan is well known for being very outspoken on his views on trans activist rights, you could have perhaps expected this. Perhaps expected this. Well, i suppose in the edinburgh being the heart of the enlightenment, you wouldnt expect it. Well, weve seen comedians cancelled before at the Edinburgh Festival and politicians gigs were cancelled as well. As well. So jim, what a surprise. The british Bashing Corporation seems to think its completely fine for a top comic. One of our best ever comedy writers, Graham Linehan, to be cancelled simply because he believes women cant have penises. Well, this is what happens. And according to old doyly, a lot of the other comedians are joining in condemning it as well. Well, weve had enough of this woke fest. I did a month here in 2000 and whatever , and here in 2000 and whatever, and it drove me absolute lutely mad. All these really unfunny woke political plimsoll wearing baggy jumper comics or self licking ice creams and you get someone like andrew doyle i think is the most brilliant comedian of his generation. Generation. Yes, he was here earlier. I cancel. Yes, he was here earlier. I cancel. Its a bit much. I saw cancel. Its a bit much. I saw it there. Its a bit much when theyre cancelling the lefties, you expect them to hate me and chubby brown. When i played the edinburgh some idiot Edinburgh Festival, some idiot awful critic because theyre awful. Awful. So the trouble with Jim Davidsons act, its geared to get laughs. I mean , geared to get laughs. I mean, what is going on . So if you have a different opinion to anyone else , is that it . Yeah. Cancel else, is that it . Yeah. Cancel yes, that is it. Well, and i think look, i think freedom of speech is dead in britain now, jim. I really do i well, apart from on gb news and on. You stream mate dont you worry about that. Having said that , trying to shut us said that, trying to shut us down, arent they too, jim . We know that theyre coming for theyre coming for me. For you. Theyre coming for me. Gb news.

Are flooding quadrupling. People are flooding to us in droves saying, quadrupling. People are flooding to us in droves saying , okay, to us in droves saying, okay, sky and everyone else that doesnt let us choose, doesnt let us do what we want to do up yours. Basically ive said it now im in trouble. Ill be cancelled. Tim davidson booker will be on the phone. On the phone. Youve never cancelled . Youve never cancelled . Youve never cancelled .

Theyre the english team to get to the first english team to get to the first english team to get to the final since 1966. Whether they win or lose on sunday. And theyre going to win, they are theyre going to win, they are the greatest britons. Yeah, indeed. Kwasi kwarteng, yeah, indeed. Kwasi kwarteng, your nominee. Your nominee. So my nominee is Graham Linehan , because i think freedom linehan, because i think freedom of expression and free speech, people have died for the right of free speech and i think its in grave danger. And i think what hes doing, what he represent is, is a fight against the enemies of free speech. Matthew , your nominee. Matthew, your nominee. Matthew, your nominee. So im making you an honorary briton as she restarts her tour in the o2 in october. But its madonna, whos 65 today and has been unashamedly herself and the queen of pop for 44 decades. So madonna, thats one of those rare evenings where actually i could have chosen any of your nominees. Nominees. But it has to be the lioness after that historic victory. After that historic victory. Ill give you that against australia. The final is to going australia. The final is to going be must watch on sunday morning versus spain. Christine hamilton whos your great union . Jack . Sorry well, my union jack is the reverse of kawasakis greatest britain it is the least archies who have cancelled Graham Linehan and the whole of the programme. I mean, for goodness programme. I mean, for goodness sake, we discussed it earlier on. What on earth are they thinking really is a jackass . The title is very apt for archies indeed. Kwasi kwarteng. Who are you Kwasi Kwarteng. Who are you going . So ive opted once again for sadiq khan because this ulez thing is just simply extraordinary and he just wont listen. Having lost uxbridge means on this issue. Hes essentially just stuck his head in the sand and is and is not listening to anybody. Listening to anybody. Indeed. And he doesnt seem to believe in democracy. Matthew lacey, your money and is lacey, your money and mine is clevedon somerset. Have they done . Weve what have they done . Weve had to close parks and allotments theyve allotments because theyve got themselves mess. Themselves in a right mess.

Its in the seaside town. A shame. I didnt its in the seaside town. About a shame. I didnt its in the seaside town. About that. Ame. I didnt know about that. Okay. Again , this know about that. Okay. Again , this is a okay. Oh, again, this is a toughie because i am very passionate about this issue with grain linehan, as you know. But after the conversation with lee anderson earlier in the show, im going to go with Kwasi Kwartengs no mention of sadiq khan. Kwartengs no mention of sadiq khan. It is becoming khan. It is becoming increasingly egregious that khan is going to ignore the vast majority of londoners who are horrified by the concept of ulez. And hes actually pushing ahead. And it makes me think hes so arrogant that he believes theres zero chance he will be booted out at the Mayoral Election. But you know, that sort of arrogance is when you end up losing, you know , you end up losing, you know, lets just look at Hillary Clinton and lets look at the ramonas there is a chance Christine Hamilton , kwasi Christine Hamilton, Kwasi Kwarteng, matthew laws are my Superstar Panel.
