The investigation was conducted by Bedfordshire Police over a seven year period, costing around £40 million. Now a psni chief constable, john butcher, says there was strong evidence of a very serious criminality. Stakeknife was undoubtedly a valuable asset who provided intelligence about the ira at considerable risk to himself. Considerable risk to himself. He claims that he was responsible for saving countless or hundreds of lives are hugely exaggerated. Most importantly, exaggerated. Most importantly, these claims belie the fact that stakeknife was himself involved in very serious and wholly unjustifiable criminality whilst operating as an agent, including murders. Murders. Stakeknife is widely believed to have been a west belfast man who was 77 when he died last yeah who was 77 when he died last year. Solicitor kevin winters, who represents a number of the victims families, says he needs to be identified officially. To be identified officially. The decision not to name Freddie Scappaticci as the agent stakeknife has been difficult for many to accept the legal and tactical rationale for doing so will be lost on many people, particularly next of kin of those murdered. Those murdered. Met Police Firearms officer martin blake has denied the murder of chris kaba after being named publicly for the first time. The 24 year old was shot once in the head through the windscreen of a car in south london in september 2022. The officer was initially identified as 121, but it was ruled the 40 year old can now be named because it poses no real risk to his life or that of his family.

Writing in the telegraph , Robin Simcock said telegraph, Robin Simcock said rishi sunak was right to raise concerns about the increase in extremist disruption. He says policies are needed to meet the scale of the challenge faced, and he urged ministers to be bolder and willing to accept higher risk when tackling higher legal risk when tackling extremism. In other news, the extremism. In other news, the foreign secretary says its incredibly frustrating that israel is not taking steps to allow more aid into gaza. His allow more aid into gaza. His comments come after the uk announced it will join the us to create a new port on the strip by providing planning, support and sending marine surveyors. However the foreign secretary says theres an option to deliver aid to gaza immediately while the temporary pier is being constructed. Being constructed. This new idea from the president of the united states, which were involved in a building a temporary harbour in gaza , means that aid will be gaza, means that aid will be able to go directly from cyprus to gaza. But its going to take time to build. So the crucial thing is today, the israelis must confirm that theyll open the port at ashdod. That is in israel. But thats the port at ashdod. That is in israel. But thats a working port. It could take aid. Now that would increase the amount of aid. And that aid can then be dnven of aid. And that aid can then be driven into gaza. That would driven into gaza. That would make a real difference. And we need difference. Need to make a real difference. Right. Right now. Now, the education secretary has said she would probably have punched rude ofsted staff after heanng punched rude ofsted staff after hearing about a school inspection. It comes after the inspection. It comes after the watchdog, which has launched a major consultation into its future direction, has come under greater scrutiny in the past year following the suicide of headteacher ruth perry. Addressing hundreds of school and College Leaders , gillian and College Leaders, Gillian Keegan said the culture of inspection was the biggest thing that needed to change following her death. Ive heard from my own, you know, my own constituency, people say i had recently actually a fantastic school. I went into and they said they told me how the officer had their ofsted experience had gone and i was shocked. I mean , i was and i was shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I thought, god, if id have met these people, id have probably punched really rude.

Now we start with the big news that the mp for maidenhead will not stand at the next general election. Her name is theresa may. Now, i dont know if you heard of her or not, but shes quitting politics. Just when the tories seem to be heading for the electoral meltdown. Well, mrs. May picked up the ultimate poison chalice in 2016 when she became Prime Minister after the brexit referendum. Look at that walk. What a natural. And sure enough , after more than two enough, after more than two torturous years on the job and having spectacularly failed to get brexit done , she then get brexit done, she then resigned. And heres what the good people of maidenhead , her good people of maidenhead, her constituency, think of her decision. Good mp for maidenhead, as far as i can tell. My reaction is that im sorry to see her go. To see her go. Shes been a brilliant mp. I admire her a lot and its a shame that shes standing down. I think shes been a good constituency, you know, mp but, as a Prime Minister i think she was, lacking somewhat, to say the least. The least. But i think its a shame shes not didnt have the chance to show what she would be like as a Prime Minister. And i think the problem is she was scuppered by right wing her party. By the right wing of her party. Well i never vote for conservatives , but theresa may conservatives, but theresa may was better than what Boris Johnson got. Well, since since ive been down here, of course, she did a lot for us round here. Well, she still do. Does. You know, she never really had a chance to show. And i think her brexit would have probably been a preferable 1 to 1. We ended up with. So there we go. Thats what the good people of maidenhead think. But what about our Political Editor chris hope who joins me the studio . Chris joins me in the studio . Chris clearly , very well liked in clearly very, very well liked in her constituency a very competent member of parliament. But was she over promoted to become Prime Minister . She well, she picked up the chaos of David Cameron, who we heard earlier on the news just leaving on the day he lost the eu referendum. His mistake, of course, to get involved in course, was to get involved in the, in the, in the debate in the, in the, in the debate in the place. He should have the first place. He should have allowed debate and allowed the debate to happen and i deliver the will of i will then deliver the will of the people. He didnt. He got involved, thats he was involved, but thats why he was not a few years. Not around for a few years. Theresa came i for theresa may came in. I mean, for me , she was never she was me, she was she never she was always remainer, but she always a remainer, but she was a nuanced remainer. Was nuanced remainer. I was there when the stall. On when she set out the stall. On being brexiteer or not, and being a brexiteer or not, and she gave us a long argument, nuanced remainer. She kind nuanced remainer. Well, she kind of kind of just of wasnt. She kind of just about but not about was remained but not brexit. But i think she didnt see brexit as an opportunity. But but a problem to be solved. And as you go into and as soon as you go into a conversation in that way, a negotiation like, theres negotiation if you like, theres no youre to get no way youre going to get a good for britain and the, good answer for britain and the, you it if jeremy you know, as it was, if Jeremy Corbyn had gone in and accepted the doing some kind of the idea of doing some kind of National Government or some agreement on brexit, it would have split the tory party for a generation, been generation, and itd been probably not a great thing for the uk. I think on brexit. The uk. So i think on brexit. Yeah, question on twitter, my yeah, no question on twitter, my social people social media are full of people giving hard time locally, a giving me a hard time locally, a really good mp. Now heard really good mp. Now you heard there people. I do there from those people. I do know when she would go back know that when she would go back from meetings from those torturous meetings in brussels , she was brussels, when she was humiliated get humiliated trying to get the brexit that never got brexit deal, that was never got over the line, over the line, should back the friday should we go back on the friday night morning . Night and saturday morning . Shed out there, know, in shed be out there, you know, in a helping a fun run happen. A bib, helping a fun run happen. Shed to shed be serving food to old people. Absolutely is a people. She absolutely is a local mp first and Prime Minister second. And thats why she announced she was going through the maidenhead advertiser. And thats what thats people think about thats what people think about her. Shes absolutely got Public Service. On brexit she got service. But on brexit she got it badly wrong. She certainly did. Now stick around but im joined around chris, but im now joined by the by dehenna davison, whos the conservative mp for bishop auckland. Welcome to the show. Its an absolute pleasure to have on. Diana, are you have you on. Diana, are you there . Im hi, martin. Im here. Hi, martin. Im here. Hi, martin. Thanks for joining im here. Hi, martin. Thanks forjoining us. So, theresa may, the second best female Prime Minister the tories ever had. Whats your take on her . I think theresa may is a real kind of testament to the importance of Public Service and what it means. I mean, you know, quietly serving away as an mp for, most part of the for, for the most part of the 27 years shes been for years that shes been the mp for maidenhead, plus on her maidenhead, plus a role on her local before that, too , local council before that, too, gaining the respect of people kind of right across the board for the diligent way in which she kind of approaches issues , i she kind of approaches issues, i think a really impressive character one that really character and one that really will missed in parliament, will be missed in parliament, because been because i think its been quite telling having stood telling that even having stood down Prime Minister some down as Prime Minister some years still remained years ago, she still remained in parliament for her parliament fighting for her constituency on constituency and focusing on causes to causes that really matter to her, like her agenda on modern slavery, which we know a lot of women really do relate to right across the uk. Johanna, its chris hope in the studio. Hi. Just the studio. Hi. Just a the studio. Hi. Just a quick the studio. Hi. Just a quick one. The studio. Hi. Just a quick one. Do the studio. Hi. Just a quick one. Do you hi. Just a quick one. Do you think that your party got the leaders in the wrong way round . If you Boris Johnson in if you got Boris Johnson in straight after brexit, hed have got deal left. And got a proper deal and left. And then theresa may would have taken during covid taken over during the covid pandemic. Been pandemic. It might have been better. Better. You ive kind of panned you know, ive kind of panned out history out this alternative history with a few friends a few times, and i think that may well be the case. You know, that exuberance and spirit of and kind of pro brexit spirit of bofis and kind of pro brexit spirit of boris and that real kind of gung ho attitude may served us ho attitude may have served us well in early days of that well in those early days of that brexit think wed brexit negotiation. I think wed hoped that theresa mays quite diligent would be, diligent approach would be, a befit. But of course there were two factors at play. One, the fact that she didnt back brexit dunng fact that she didnt back brexit during which i during that referendum, which i think harmed her think regrettably harmed her credentials some the credentials with some of the more of the more brexiteer ends of the conservative party, and two, the fact that went for that fact that she went for that general election hoping to get a stonking majority. And then, of course, come to course, it didnt really come to fruition, really she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort really she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort of really she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort of at really she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort of at least really she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort of at least one ally she course, it didnt really come to fruitsort of at least one arm she had sort of at least one arm tied back for the tied behind her back for the negotiations followed. But negotiations that followed. But actually, having theresa negotiations that followed. But actu. At 1, having theresa negotiations that followed. But actu. At , helm1aving theresa negotiations that followed. But actu. At , helm throughheresa negotiations that followed. But actu. At 1, helm through the sa may at the helm through the covid would have been covid pandemic would have been a really positive thing. I certainly anyone certainly dont think anyone would got with would have got away with the downing with her downing street party. With her in. In charge. Shes stepping aside diana, shes stepping aside before election. I think it before the election. I think it makes it now. 63 conservative mps who are currently sitting or voluntarily standing aside. And of course , you are also one of of course, you are also one of them. What do you think it is about the current environment thatis about the current environment that is making so many conservatives rub their chin and think, this just isnt worth standing for anymore , i think standing for anymore, i think everyones story is a little bit different, so i dont necessarily want to speculate on everyone. I mean, me, its everyone. I mean, for me, its the fact that, frankly, i got into politics young. Ive into politics so young. Ive been in frontline since been somewhat in frontline since i was about 21. I was looking ahead to 30 and thought, is the life do i want to be in life i want . Do i want to be in the i want to the public eye . Do i want to face abuse, the threats, face the abuse, the threats, the intimidation . Day in day out and put through and put my family through that . And for answer was no. That for me, the answer was no. That was my decision. I there was my decision. I know there are other mps whove decided to stand out off the back of threats and personal intimidation, which frankly, only be getting worse in only seem to be getting worse in this kind of really polarised social age that we live social media age that we live in. And i think for some people, of course, they probably are looking thinking, looking ahead, thinking, am i going win seat . It going to win my seat . Is it worth stepping and worth stepping away now and trying Something Else to trying to find Something Else to do . Is a factor do . That probably is a factor for people, diana for some people, and diana arambagh, you were for some people, and diana aranopen, you were for some people, and diana aranopen about, you were for some people, and diana aranopen about, some u were for some people, and diana aranopen about, some of were for some people, and diana aranopen about, some of thee very open about, some of the experiences in your life and i thought you were wonderful with that, a hell of that, and you got a hell of a lot of stick, and it was terrible what through. Terrible what you went through. I remember time i reached i remember at the time i reached out and im still sorry out to you, and im still sorry for what had go through, for what you had to go through, about said about about what you said about your father and what happened. And i think and im think it was shocking. And im not things like not surprised if things like that add to the gravity that kind of, add to the gravity of. I that kind of, add to the gravity of. I hope that kind of, add to the gravity of. I hope you of your decisions. I hope you sort of, you know, do better in the future. But before all of that, i want to ask you about gillian put foot Gillian Keegan. Shes put a foot in may have seen in it again. You may have seen the i just read them the comments. I just read them out. At a conference, out. She was at a conference, some might say it was a throwaway comment. They were throwaway comment. They were talking ofsted talking about an ofsted inspection, wrong , she inspection, that went wrong, she said. I was actually shocked. I thought, god, if ive met these people probably have people i would probably have punched really punched them. They were really rude. We all know rude. Now we all know a throwaway comment, can happen. Throwaway comment, can happen. But of course the daily mirror are making hay out of this. She is actually the Education Minister. It at school minister. It was at a school event. We know that there is a problem with ofsted. What is ofsted . Inspectors committed suicide. We also know theres a problem with violence in schools. Is this a mountain out of a mole or is it a serious issue . Issue . Its regrettable language. I think , you know, im someone who think, you know, im someone who campaigns amusingly on this particular issue. I run an Anti Violence Campaign based around one punch assault. So heanng around one punch assault. So hearing that language coming out, i think, from any frontline politician is a little bit disappointing, politician is a little bit disappointing , to be honest. I disappointing, to be honest. I think there are legitimate concerns and concerns around ofsted and obviously , as education obviously, as education secretary, right secretary, shes probably right to i dont like to address those. I dont like policing language too much. Weve to be cautious, but weve got to be cautious, but certainly not language certainly thats not language that used. That i would have used.

Im Martin Daubney on gb britains news channel brand new sundays from 6 pm. Brand new sundays from 6 pm. The neil oliver show. The neil oliver show. The neil oliver show.

Is the time youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news now later this hour, discuss the claim from the governments counter extremism sa that london streets have become zone for jews become a no go zone forjews dunng become a no go zone forjews during the pro palestine protest. Weve been saying that for weeks now to a story that i can tell you has got many Firearms Officers in this country absolutely fuming. The metropolitan Police Marksman who shot dead chris kaba has been publicly named for the first time. Martin blake denied murder when he appeared at the old bailey today. And for an update on this story, im joined by our home and security editor, mark white. Mark, welcome to the show. Whats the latest . Show. Whats the latest . Well, that name of martin blake was made public finally, after a media challenge in the courts, he had been granted anonymity when he was first charged in september of last yeah charged in september of last year. And had been known simply as nx 121. That was challenged by the media really under open justice rules. Given that the justice rules. Given that the vast majority of people who are charged with the criminal offence are normally named the judge mark lucraft, at the old bailey today agreed with the media, lifted that anonymity order and allowed us to name martin blake. Now there are certain restrictions we cannot show images of this 40 year old officer. We cant tell you his home address either. He was in the dock at the old bailey to deny the charges. A charge of murdering chris kaba in september of 2022. Mr kaba was in an audi, not his vehicle, driving through streatham in south london when Firearms Officers attempted to stop that vehicle. It had been linked to a firearms offence the previous day. During that operation, to stop the vehicle, a shot was fired through the front windscreen that struck chris kabain windscreen that struck chris kaba in the head and he died in hospital the next day. As i say, hospital the next day. As i say, this officer, this 40 year old officer, denies the charges. Hell face trial in october of this year, but the wider picture with regard to this naming convention today, and indeed the decision to charge this officer with murder in the first place, really brought the metropolitan police force into a state of crisis as far as its armed capability is concerned. When the decision was announced in september of last year to charge this officer, hundreds of Firearms Officers from the metropolitan Police Stepped back from their armed duties. And we await what the reaction will be now that the naming of this officer has taken place as well. The metropolitan police braced for the potential that many more of these Firearms Officers may feel that its just not worth the risk for them any more, and they will step back from what is a volunteer role. A volunteer role. Okay, thank you for that update. Mark white now to a shocking report that has revealed that the use of informers by British Intelligence during the troubles cost more lives than it saved. Im joined now by gb News Northern ireland reporter Dougie Beattie dougie, an astonishing story. A £40 million report into agent stakeknife. Tell us more. Well, this canova report was first headed up by john bucha , first headed up by john bucha, who is now the chief constable of the psni in Northern Ireland. And it really did look at state involvement in and around terrorism, how they used informers and how were they low level or high level informers and low level were called horse handlers. I mean, they knew that was going to happen and they were paying a few pounds, etc. But this one in particular was right at the very head of the ira. He was up in amongst back in the early 80s, the mid 80s, the ira belfast brigade was that badly compromised, that it was really south tyrone brigades that were taking the lead in this. And of course then you had the loch gall massacre, where the loch gall massacre, where the ambushed eight ira men the sas, ambushed eight ira men there. And when you think about that, they they didnt do that by accident. Somebody inside the army council had actually told British Forces what was going to happen because it was so complete of a massacre. And then complete of a massacre. And then it really brings into question how many of these were informers were in place. This was the killing catholics by killing of catholics by catholics , by nationalists, by catholics, by nationalists, by the ira in their own communities. Weve really communities. And weve really got to look, and i keep on saying about it, 1998 good friday agreement. Letters of comfort and queens pardons of mercy were given to members of sinn fein and the ira so as they would never have to go to court. British soldiers keep getting brought to court because brought back to court because they have kept, the they say they have kept, the information in this will. They quite obviously have. And really, the government now needs to be very clear with these nationalist communities who got the letters of comfort. Why did the letters of comfort. Why did they get it . And because the information is quite obviously there, and this is more embarrassing for sinn fein than anybody. Anybody. And the big question is, how much the British Secret much did the British Secret Services Security services know about what this individual was up to . Freddie scappaticci unked up to . Freddie scappaticci linked to these 50 murders were they letting him go rogue . Were they letting him go rogue . Were they letting him get away with this . Because if they this . Because if they intervened, it might have blown his cover. Thats exactly what well, thats exactly what they i mean, they they were doing. I mean, they they were doing. I mean, they they it happen they were letting it happen because it suited them to do so at time. And this isnt on at the time. And this isnt on common practice. And when youre talking about countries like syria or whatever, syria or iraq or whatever, British Intelligence, american intelligence do, compromise some other agents , pay them off, other agents, pay them off, whatever they do. And of course, this the problem with this is this the problem with this is this is uk special forces turning on uk population. This turning on uk population. This is british citizens being taken out, if you like, with the assistance of the British Intelligence service. And thats where this gets extremely serious. Youve got a clip of serious. Youve got a clip of the show us. Oh, yes, indeed, gavin larmour, his father was a ruc constable that was shot dead on the lisburn road in belfast and he very seriously believes that there was an informer involved. And he has told me involved. And he has told me that the pps are very much trying to stop these cases coming forward, and he wants them looked at. So look , and the them looked at. So look, and the bigger question is how corrupt is the pps is the first four set of charges was for perjury, which was probably the easiest charge to prove. Youve got the deposition statement or the witness statement or the witness statement in front of you. All youve got to show is at the time that was made, it was knowingly false or knowingly misleading or inaccurate. Misleading or inaccurate. But who was being charged . Freddie scappaticci , two m15 Freddie Scappaticci, two m15 officers and the woman who was previously Deputy Director of the pps. How previously Deputy Director of the pps. How is that not a conflict of interest . Maybe it needs to go to the cps in london for a judicial review as to just how independent the pps decisions here were, because theyre quite happy to put forward republican inquests and civil compensation claims. Forward republican inquests and civil compensation claims. But when it comes to actually prosecuting a terrorist, know that might rock the good friday agreement but cant have that. Agreement but cant have that. So dougie, Freddie Scappaticci, was alleged to have been involved in the nutting squad and they were involved in kidnapping, torture and killing victims. You met him. What was he like in my job then . I met many of these men on several occasions, and, i did meet him on three occasions. And, you know, like any of these people, theyre actually very charming. Theyre, a bit of a laugh, but youre always when youre in that situation, youre always thinking to yourself, i know the rumours behind this and where this is going, because dont forget , these nutting dont forget, these nutting squads as they were, were also trying to keep up what they seen as morality in their community. And of the people that they and many of the people that they took out and on and took out and beat on and tortured were actually innocent and had nothing to do with what was happening inside terrorism at that time. So he he was quite at that time. So he he was quite a convincing character and really quite a charming man. Well, a charming man linked to the murders of over 50 Dougie Beattie. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Thank you very much for stuff. Thank you very much for coming in and sharing it with us here the westminster gb news. Here in the westminster gb news.

I Martin Daubney on gb news, welcome back 337 is your time. And youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now, to some very worrying words from the governments counter extremism. Commissioner counter extremism. Commissioner robin simcox has said that the pro palestinian protests are making london a no go zone for jewish people. And this is the head of another, yet another huge protest in the area tomorrow. And the and he urges the government to take bold action in tackling extremism. But the Government Faces mounting pressure to ensure london remains inclusive and safe for all communities. Well, of course it does. Apart from the Jewish Community to and discuss that now, im joined in the studio in westminster by junior presenter josh howie. Josh, studio. Josh, welcome to the studio. Although we always seem to be together under these unfortunate circumstances, they finally woken up. The home office have woken up. The home office have taken the position that these marchers are turning parts of london into no go zones. Weve been saying that on this channel for weeks. I know youve been saying that a time , lee saying that for a long time, lee anderson it. Suella anderson said it. Suella braverman they got the braverman said it. They got the boot theyre but boot now theyre agreeing. But in experience as a in terms of your experience as a jewish person, do you agree with this . Yeah absolutely. And its incredible. Its taken so long for people to catch up with it. But, i mean, the language, the people on protest , they the people on the protest, they call peace marchers. Call it peace marchers. Would classify right. And we would classify it as a hate march. Well, for the people who are calling it a peace march, who these peace march, who see these placards with not kind of placards with not just kind of like anti israel sentiment, like outright anti semitism, like calling , saying jews run the calling, saying jews run the world, or people like calling for jihad, like, you know, forjihad, like, you know, people having flags of actual terrorist organisations that the police then pretend arent, this stuff is hateful stuff. And the thing that i would say to those people is , well, say to those people is, well, where who of you is actually asking for peace because you dont see people crying for peace . No, theyre going from the river to the sea. Theyre calling the genocide of calling for the genocide of jews. Calling for jews. Theyre calling for intifada, for israelis intifada, which for israelis is blowing buses and cafes. So blowing up buses and cafes. So where are the actual cries for peace . Number one . And number peace . Number one . And number two is the people who sort of go on and say, well, lets get rid of hamas or hamas, the terrorist organisation. Someone up, organisation. Someone went up, two person had two weeks ago. That person had a thing saying hamas a terrorist. That person was chased by the peace activists and the police had to protect own had to protect for their own person and take that person away. It is fair to say, josh, you get bad eggs on every type of protest. The vast majority of people on those protests would say they are sticking up for what they believe to be 30,000 people whove been killed in this conflict , and theyre not this conflict, and theyre not all crying jihad. Its all crying for jihad. So its important point out not everybody. But you know what . Same but you know what . The same people sort of the far people who are sort of the far left who are on those left cranks who are on those marches would also say, oh, they would condemn anybody you would condemn anybody who you know, whats that saying . If theres nine people having a dinner party and of dinner party and one of thems a nazi, then its nazi dinner nazi, then its a nazi dinner party. Thats like that party. Thats thats like that phrasing so phrasing from them. So who of them actually calling out them are actually calling out these placards . Who are the who are actually calling are them of actually calling out this , these hateful, genocidal this, these hateful, genocidal cnes . This, these hateful, genocidal cries . Them , you cries . And none of them, you know, from its the hypocrisy. Im from the left, but the hypocrisy of people who would go, know, before things go, you know, before when things language changes. Thats normal. Right. And people go, oh, theres certain word now that, theres a certain word now that, some people are uncomfortable with. Okay. I didnt realise with. Oh, okay. I didnt realise that was an uncomfortable word. Ill my language. Thats ill change my language. Thats fine. Theyre fine. But in this case, theyre like, what were like, no, this is what were going were going to going to chant. Were going to chant to the sea, chant from the river to the sea, even though comes an even though it comes from an arabic that arabic saying that its literally of jews. Literally the genocide of jews. They and they dont care about that. And worse that is were worse than that now is were actually seeing another development ive development where actually ive seen this week where people are actually on the left going, wait, is racist, but wait, okay, it is racist, but hey, whats happening in gaza . What happened to, you know, microaggressions and these things that racism has to be deau things that racism has to be dealt with. Its like, no, suddenly because whats happening in gaza, racism in london thats london is bad. Thats what theyre saying. Theyre saying. Ive spoken to people whove organised marches and they ive spoken to people whove orgawell, marches and they ive spoken to people whove orgawell, are arches and they ive spoken to people whove orgawell, are jewish and they ive spoken to people whove orgawell, are jewish peopley say, well, why are jewish people upset . Take place on upset . The marches take place on a people arent a saturday. Jewish people arent about youre busy obeying your faith. To that . Faith. What do you say to that . Well, say, first of all, what well, i say, first of all, what racism is, okay, if the if racism is, okay, even if the if theres no one there of that particular ethnicity. Statement thats a ridiculous statement. And the second thing i say is my is town. I go in my synagogue is in town. I go in with my son, who is having hes learning bar mitzvah, so learning for his bar mitzvah, so i to take him every i have to take him in every week. Its very week. And its very uncomfortable now. A few weeks ago, out ago, there was footage out literally outside of our synagogue of about four police vans, about 20 police barricading our synagogue , barricading our synagogue, protecting them from the mob. Who they protecting them who are they protecting them from . Them from . Theyre protecting them from . Theyre protecting them from the from what elements of the marchers . And im glad that i didnt have to take my son in that day, because i dont want to have to explain to him already. He has security at school. Security at school. We do have security at the synagogue. That the synagogue. But to that level, is how level, go, mate. This is how much hate us that we much some people hate us that we need people, 20 Police People need 20 people, 20 Police People protecting go in protecting us so we can go in and to our synagogue, to and safety to our synagogue, to our place prayer being on our place of prayer and being on the being surrounded the tube and being surrounded by. Ive been on the tube. In these when people are these instances when people are gathering for marches, gathering for these marches, its uncomfortable its a very uncomfortable position. Are afraid of. Position. You are afraid of. Someones going to see your star of david. Why should i have to put of david . Or why put my star of david . Or why should i be to wear should i not be able to wear my yarmulke . Its a saturday, yarmulke . If its a saturday, why, are there why, why are there more religious are feeling religious jews who are feeling like to go like they theyre unable to go into the point is, into town . Its the point is, its not. Its not okay for anybody , let alone jewish people. So rob simcox , the home so rob simcox, the home office is independent advisor on extremism, is saying, dont let extremists hijack your marchers to the march organisers. And hes saying this is not okay. Do you have any faith in that . No, i dont, because theyve been emboldened. Theyve been been emboldened. Theyve been emboldened now for weeks. I read it online. Someone said on the day after october 7th when the blood was still drying, day after october 7th when the blood was still drying , people blood was still drying, people were out. Islamists were out on our streets marching, setting off flares. They flares. They should have been immediately shut down and they werent. And ever since then, its got greater and greater, and they have felt, like i said, more emboldened, and where are the people on the left . Where are the people in those marches . I havent seen person in those havent seen one person in those marches an marches confronting an anti semitic placard, confronting someone, chanting for the death of jews. That never happens. And again, its hypocrisy. Well, i did , i went, im not well, i did, i went, im not a jewish person, but i went to Parliament Square and i pointed that from the river to the sea. Big ben projector and to the police said, it is. Police and said, there it is. What you going to do . They what are you going to do . They werent interested in doing anything. There was anything about it. There was a guy placard was guy with a placard that was offensive. Do offensive. They didnt do anything that. There anything about that. There were guys mask, guys in full ski mask, balaclavas. Go balaclavas. I said, go and arrest them. You got powers to do didnt want know. Do it. They didnt want to know. Josh. So there are people out there challenging josh. So there are people out the but1allenging josh. So there are people out the but imenging josh. So there are people out the but im saying people the but im saying people of the part of Community Part of their community have part of their community have part that. Yeah, part of part of that. Yeah, thats saying. No, im thats what im saying. No, im not that, but im not saying that, but im just saying theyre policing saying that theyre not policing themselves. Then then. Themselves. And then and then. Okay, then the police okay, fine. Well then the police are meant to police them. And as you say, i remember seeing do you say, i remember seeing do you so when you you remember like so when you said the, on Parliament Said the on the, on parliament with projection and then with the projection and then the police well it police were like, well no, it should be. All about should be. Its all about context and whatnot. Its illegal in whatever illegal to do that in whatever the its illegal. The message was. Its illegal. You have right to arrest these you have a right to arrest these People Police havent people and the police havent been that. I been doing that. Now, i understand reason. Understand there a reason. Im not that not saying that theyre anti semitic, have anti semitic, but they have to, they numbers they arent the numbers necessarily. There arent the resources there. And anybody who steps out like youve seen this footage of people pushing the police back, pushing people with their masks, someone who pushes their masks, someone who pushes the policeman just you should be arrested. Theyre doing arrested. And theyre not doing that. Probably would do it and they probably would do it if they were football fans or from howie, from the other side. Josh howie, thank for joining thank you very much for joining us studio and give us us in the studio and give us your view. Excellent your impassioned view. Excellent stuff. Come, ill stuff. Now still to come, ill talk about deal that talk about the new deal that really make a real really could make a real difference our migrant difference to our migrant crisis, costing us just difference to our migrant cri million. Costing us just difference to our migrant cri million. I costing us just difference to our migrant cri million. I reckonng us just difference to our migrant cri million. I reckon thatsjust £1 million. I reckon thats a price worth paying for it if it works. But first, in a gb news new series, innovation britain, were looking at the successes of the magnificent british Manufacturing Industry around the country. Were here at bowyer engineering in andover, in the south west of england. They took on lots of apprentices every single year. Sharon, why are apprenticeships important to bowyer . Theyre important to bowyer, but theyre important to all small manufacturing businesses everywhere. Really. Weve got a lack of real skills coming in to the manufacturing, manufacturing business, and this allows us to get the apprentices in from the colleges. We can train them up. Colleges. We can train them up. We work really closely with them, and we can keep the skills that we teach them. And youre lucky enough to manage the apprentices here at bowyer. Sharon, what does the Apprenticeship Scheme actually look like . Look like . Okay. Okay. Its a generally a 3 or 4 year course. We take the apprentices from the local colleges. We work really closely with them. Theyre assessors come out in three four month periods. They assess them. We work really closely. We get them up, they get them up to the standard that they should be to complete their apprenticeship apprenticeships, and we teach them all. We can here, essential skills for the Small Businesses that we need. Small businesses that we need. And then hopefully they stay with us and carry on and weve made brilliant machinists. Machinists out of them. The local colleges are heavily funded by the government levy, so theyve got a lot of money in. So i think because of that, the colleges are putting in more effort, into getting the apprentices apprenticeships out there to the local businesses because theyre funded. So we are only reaping the benefits for that. Its changing attitudes to apprenticeships here in andover i this sunday on free speech nation. With me , andrew doyle. Ill with me, andrew doyle. Ill be delving into the w path files. Explosive revelations leaked by whistleblowers that show how the worlds top transgender medical experts put a whole generation at risk. Ill be speaking to a range of guests, including journalist Michael Shellenberger, best selling author , leading author helen joyce, leading physician doctor kerry mendoza, psychotherapist Stella Omalley, and many more. Find out about one of the biggest medical scandals of the century in free speech nation this sunday at 7 pm. On. Gb news. Pm. On. Gb news. And welcome back. Its 350 on a friday afternoon and youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now at 4 00, ill have reaction to the news that Prime Minister former Prime Minister theresa may is quitting. And im going to speak to someone who shes to someone who thinks shes brilliant, fair to say brilliant, but its fair to say that not everyone in my inbox feels the same. In fact, id be lying if i said i could find hardly any positive comments about former Prime Minister theresa may. Lets go through a few of them now. Of course, many of them are focusing around her performance as Prime Minister over brexit. Robert says this theresa may sold our country out to the eu. As far as im concerned , she was a traitor. Concerned, she was a traitor. Say what you mean rob . Next time carol says this, theresa may lied and muddled her way through brexit. She was the cause of the delay and basically she just didnt want to leave the European Union. See, bear in European Union. See, bear in mind she inherited a bit of a hospital tackle , didnt she . Hospital tackle, didnt she . From David Cameron. David cameron, lest we forget , who cameron, lest we forget, who tirelessly campaigned to remain in the European Union. And then in the European Union. And then the day after he lost, he cleared off as danny dyer might say, he put his trotters up and went on holiday. Theresa may inherited that mess and being of the philosophical viewpoint that she also wanted to remain, she was never going to get off onto the best wicket, was she . Brad adds this personally, i think theresa may was the worst tory Prime Minister of all time. She began the tory rot and my membership has now ended. Mark is a bit more charitable, he said. I think she was a fence sitter. She understood the party wanted to stay in europe. Wanted to stay in europe. However, she had to do what the people no matter what people decided. No matter what she did, she would not have been liked for it and okay, lets move on now because britain has struck a deal with libya to stem the tide of migrants attempting perilous crossings across the mediterranean and the uk will contribute £1 million to support libya, facilitate voluntary returns of migrants to their home countries. Now the deal, home countries. Now the deal, which was announced by immigration minister michael tomlinson, aims to kerb illegal migration and disrupt the activities of people smuggling gangs. Activities of people smuggling gangs. Well, im joined now by gangs. Well, im joined now by immigration lawyer hardeep singh. Bango harjit, welcome to the show again. Its got to be sad. It seems like a seems like a good idea. Spend £1 million right far down line. Try and cut it off at source. What took them so long . Yeah. Finally, a scheme which makes sense. Maybe theyve listened. Been listening to what keir starmer has been saying about stop the gangs and taking that board. This is the that on board. But this is the way to get the gangs is trying to cut them off at the source and disrupt their model. Now nofice and disrupt their model. Now notice language theyre only notice a language theyre only talking returns talking about voluntary returns that doesnt with the that doesnt deal with the people want go back. So thats only people who want to go back , are probably want to go back, are probably going to be few and far between. But something is better than nothing. And, these sort of deals agreements are deals and return agreements are something that should have been done not six months before an election, which shows they election, which shows that they can do these things. But like you said, why isnt this done . Been done before . That leaves a big, big, of question mark big, big, sort of question mark as to around intention and to a political will. And its got to be said, theyre also spending £3 million with turkey now, of course, 90 of illegal boats who land in britain across the channel. Those began their those people began their journeys into turkey. So again, it seems like common sense. Why on earth did it take them so blooming long . Well, it seems as once again theyve been wasting all their time with the rwanda scheme , time with the rwanda scheme, were talking about theresa may. You were just now remember her bright idea of putting the vans around with go home, written on them, hoping that everyone would just vans and go just read these vans and then go home . You know, this is from the party us this , so, i party that gave us this, so, i dont know why its taken so long. We can only assume that theyve realised that theyre about to get a whooping at the election, and theyve got to do something, and that may be the british criticising them British Public criticising them has up. Has woken them up. But all of this has been we have leave it there. It have to leave it there. It should have afraid. We have should have been afraid. We have to there. I know youve should have been afraid. We have to loads there. I know youve should have been afraid. We have to loads to 1ere. I know youve should have been afraid. We have to loads to say, i know youve should have been afraid. We have to loads to say, but|ow youve should have been afraid. We have to loads to say, but imyouve should have been afraid. We have to loads to say, but im afraid got loads to say, but im afraid were of time. Were simply ran out of time. But to that topic. But well return to that topic. Theresa after the theresa may of course, after the break, than 60 current mps break, more than 60 current mps tory mps are about to stand. What could be behind that .

Today, she danced onto the stage when she prime stage when she was Prime Minister but like dozens of other tory mps, theresa may will now exit stage right at the next general election. Just why are general election. Just why are so many conservatives quitting , so many conservatives quitting, i wonder . Next, education secretary Gillian Keegan is in hot water once again, and this time she said she would have probably punched a teaching inspector who apparently was rather rude. Not the smartest rather rude. Not the smartest thing for an Education Minister to say though , is it . And well to say though, is it . And well be live at raf scampton , where be live at raf scampton, where locals are still fighting to stop up to 2000 migrants being put in the home of the dambusters. Today is their First Anniversary of that protest, and thats all coming up in your next hour. Next hour. Welcome to the show, andifs next hour. Welcome to the show, and its always an absolute pleasure to have your company. So im asking the question today. Was theresa may the worst tory Prime Minister theyve ever had, or have there been people candidates subsequently whove taken that crown from her . Its fair to say ive now had over 2000 comments for this. Some of them are even printable. Most people are saying a great constituency mp, but was theresa may overpromoted . Well, im may overpromoted . Well, im about to hear from somebody who thinks she was the best thing since sliced bread, but let me know what you think. Email gbviews gbnews. Com. Get your thoughts in. Ill read some thoughts in. Ill read out some of the best, but first, its time for your latest news headunes time for your latest News Headlines with sam francis. Headlines with sam francis. Martin, thanks very much. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. From the newsroom has just gone 4 00 and we start with news from Northern Ireland, where the first minister has apologised to the of alleged the families of alleged informers who were killed by the ira and says shes wholeheartedly committed to heaung wholeheartedly committed to healing the wounds of the past. Its after a Major Investigation found more lives were probably lost than saved by a double agent during the troubles, codenamed stakeknife, he was working covertly for the british army inside the iras internal Security Unit operation canova, which was conducted by Bedfordshire Police, examined more than 100 murders and abductions linked to that unit. Chief constable john bucha , chief constable john bucha, whos now with the Police Service in Northern Ireland, has said there is strong evidence of very serious criminality. Very serious criminality. Stakeknife was undoubtedly a valuable asset who provided intelligence about the ira at considerable risk to himself. Claims that he was responsible for saving countless or hundreds of lives are hugely exaggerated. Most importantly , these claims most importantly, these claims belie the fact that stakeknife was himself involved in very serious and wholly unjustifiable criminality whilst operating as an agent, including murders. While stakeknife is widely believed to have been a west belfast man who was 77 when he died last year , solicitor kevin died last year, solicitor kevin winters, who represents a number of the victims families, says that the agent needs to be identified officially and the decision not to name Freddie Scappaticci as the agent stakeknife has been difficult for many to accept the legal and tactical rationale for doing so will be lost on many people , will be lost on many people, particularly next of kin of those murdered. In other news, those murdered. In other news, met Police Firearms officer martin blake has denied the murder of chris kaba after being named publicly for the first time today. The 24 year old was shot once in the head through the windscreen of a car in south london in 2022. The officer was initially identified as 121, but it was now ruled that the 40 year old can be named because it poses no real risk to his life or that of his family. He has been released on bail and we understand is due to face trial in october. The counter extremism tsar, who has warned that london has become a no go zone for jews during pro palestine protests. Its after the Prime Minister said forces are trying to tear the country apart, writing in the telegraph, robin simcox said rishi sunak was right to raise concerns about the increased in extremist disruption in the caphal extremist disruption in the capital. He says policies are needed to meet the scale of the challenges faced, and he urged ministers to be bolder and willing to accept higher legal risk when tackling extremism. Risk when tackling extremism. The foreign secretary says its incredibly frustrating that israel is not taking steps to allow more aid into gaza. The uk has announced it will join the us to create a new port on the strip, providing support and planning and surveying the area. However the foreign secretary says theres an option to deliver aid to gaza immediately. Why . While that temporary pier is being constructed, this new idea from the president of the united states, which were involved in a building, a temporary harbour in gaza, means that aid will be able to go directly from cyprus to gaza. But its going to take time to build. So the crucial thing is , the israelis must is today, the israelis must confirm that theyll open the port at ashdod that is in israel. But thats a working port. It could take aid now that would increase the amount of aid , and that aid can then be dnven , and that aid can then be driven into gaza. That would make a real difference. And we need make difference need to make a real difference right now. Right now. The education secretary has said she would have probably punched rude ofsted staff after heanng punched rude ofsted staff after hearing about a school inspection. The regulator was heavily scrutinised after the death of headteacher ruth perry after her school was downgraded. Addressing school and College Leaders, Gillian Keegan says she was shocked to hear about some peoples experiences. Well, sources close to the mp have told gb news that her off the cuff comments during a q a were meant to be light hearted and were not a threat of violence. Ive heard from my own, you know, my own constituency. People say i had i had recently actually a fantastic school. I went into an and they said they told me how the officer had, you know, they were ofsted experience had gone and i was shocked. I mean, i actually shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. Thought, if id shocked. I thought, god, if id have these people, id have have met these people, id have probably were probably punched them. They were really the former prime and finally, the former Prime Minister, theresa may will stand down at the next general election, bringing her year election, bringing her 27 year career to an end. Career as an mp to an end. Announcing her decision, the member for maidenhead said she wants to focus instead on causes such as the fight against modern slavery. Shes been the conservative mp for the seat since 1997. Those are the headunes. Since 1997. Those are the headlines. More in the next half headlines. More in the next half houn headlines. More in the next half hour. In the meantime, you can sign up to gb news alerts. Just scan the qr code there on your screen. Or if youre listening on radio, go to gb. Com on radio, go to gb news. Com alerts. Alerts. Thanks, sam. Now we start with the big news that the prime the mp beg your pardon for maidenhead will not stand at the next general election. Now her name is theresa may. And i dont know if youve heard of her, but shes quitting politics. Just when the tories seem to be heading for electoral meltdown. There she is , may bossing her there she is, may bossing her way onto a stage. Who can forget 7 way onto a stage. Who can forget . No matter how hard you try to forget, to forget that dance. And the letters are about to drop off the stage behind her. As i recall. Now, mrs. May picks up the ultimate poisoned chalice. Its fair to up the ultimate poisoned chalice. Its fairto say up the ultimate poisoned chalice. Its fair to say in 2016, when she became Prime Minister after the brexit referendum, and sure enough, after more than two torturous years in the top job and having spectacularly failed to get brexit done, she resigned just like her predecessor David Cameron, who legged it and put his trotters up straight after he lost his referendum result. Well, heres what the good people of maidenhead think of that decision. Good mp for maidenhead, as far as i can tell, my reaction is that im sorry to see her go. Shes been a brilliant mp. I admire her a lot and its a shame that shes standing down, i think shes been a good constituency, you know, mp but, as a Prime Minister, i think she was , lacking somewhat, to say was, lacking somewhat, to say the least. But i think its a shame shes not didnt have the chance to show what shed be like as a Prime Minister. And i think the problem is she was scuppered by the right wing of her party. Well i never vote for conservatives , but theresa may conservatives, but theresa may was better than while Boris Johnson got well, since. Johnson got well, since. Since ive been down here. Of course, she did a lot for us around here. Well, she still do. Does. You know, she never really had a chance to show. And i think her brexit would have probably been a preferable 1 to 1. We ended up with. Okay. So they love her on the good old streets of maidenhead. And im joined in our studio to discuss this now by our Political Editor, chris hope, and the chief operating officer for conservative friends of for the conservative friends of the commonwealth, sunil sharma. And believe theresa may is and i believe theresa may is your mp. But well come to you in moment. Your mp. But well come to you in moment. So, chris, yes, in a moment. So, chris, yes, its fair to say yes. The good old people of gb news land , my old people of gb news land, my inbox doesnt exactly ring with charm towards theresa may, but the people in her constituency clearly think shes an extremely competent parliamentarian. But competent parliamentarian. But she was handed almost a grenade with the pin pulled out in. As far as she didnt like brexit, she campaigned to remain, as did David Cameron before her. In many senses, she was on a hiding to nothing. To nothing. There are two sides to theresa may. Theres the local mp saw eloquently mp and you saw eloquently expressed by people in maidenhead in the maidenhead and our guests in the studio this off air, studio was saying this off air, what mp she is. She what a great mp she is. And she used go from those used to go back from those torturous in torturous negotiations in brussels became brussels before you became a brexit party mep, martin. But she go back there and shed be humiliated and really hard trying to find way through, trying to find a way through, and go and feed local and then shed go and feed local people an old peoples people in an old peoples home, put on a bib to look after a fun run that is a nature of her. Shes totally local. She resigned by giving a statement as an mp, giving a statement to the maidenhead advertiser. I wouldnt the national wouldnt tell the National Journalists ive her journalists that ive known her for years. Shes an for over 15 years. Shes an unknowable person, having said all she did take up the all that, she did take up the challenge to be Prime Minister when brexit had been voted on. She knew the challenge. Boris johnson , of course, had gone johnson, of course, had gone away. The question is, would bofis away. The question is, would Boris Johnson be better . Pm not not theresa may. At that point, i think probably yes, because theresa think, viewed theresa may, i think, viewed brexit a problem to be brexit as a problem to be solved, not an opportunity to be grasped. And that is the harder you boil it all down. Heres somebody who didnt really believe in brexit, was trying to mitigate the more difficult parts it, rather than just parts of it, rather than just charge the charge off and grab the opportunity brexit. Opportunity of brexit. Extraordinary its an extraordinary time in the partys history the conservative partys history , during that time when the brexit came nowhere brexit party came from nowhere to winning that European Election in six weeks, course election in six weeks, of course i was one of those meps. I got into politics because theresa into politics because of theresa mays spectacular failure. One . The other one . The other one . In many senses. Well, i do in many senses. Im sorry im on tv now because of may. It true that of theresa may. It is true that many of us were dragged into just democracy enacted just getting democracy enacted and there were conservative councillors, conservative mps , councillors, conservative mps, left, right and Centre Saying shes going to destroy our politics. She needed because she made the offer to Jeremy Corbyn about some kind of cross party deal to get her deal through the parliament at the expense of maybe 100, 150 tory mps who probably would have cleaved off and formed a new party. That was how it mattered to that much in those those meaningful votes we saw just by the end, 28 spartan tory mps opposed it. No question history will. There are two sides to theresa may, she did not do well on brexit, but shes been a very, very good Public Servant as the former pms servant as all the former pms david sunak David Cameron, rishi sunak making statements to that effect today. E e f me neatly on to and it brings me neatly on to you, sunil sharma. Youve known theresa time. Theresa may for a long time. Shes your local member of parliament, so come on, lets hear the defence case for theresa may. I think , you know, theresa may. I think, you know, alluding to what chris said and alluding to what chris said and a phenomenal local mp. A phenomenal local mp. Some of the times, post these brexit negotiations should be out campaigning on a saturday, should have a black notepad, should have a black notepad, should be knocking on doors. No fear of the facts of what was going on with the party being in a mess. I think in her defence as pm, i do think it was the impossible job. I look at it as like the job after sarah dyke wokester man united no matter who got that job. I just think you were destined to failure. You party that were in you had a party that were in complete disarray. You had the remainers accept remainers who refused to accept the result. You had different people within the party wanting different versions of brexit. And think if wasnt for and i think if it wasnt for i think the job after theresa was always going to be a lot easier , always going to be a lot easier, because if you speak to a lot of the people within party, the people within the party, even cameron, party was even post cameron, the party was in absolute disarray. But she lost the partys majority. She went in there in 2016 with a majority of , i 2016 with a majority of, i forget, the 25th. I cant remember the detail, but then she she believed. She believed the polls, didnt she . And then lost the majority, running a Disastrous Campaign and the strong and stable Prime Minister. She was weak and wobbly and that was that was agreed the i think that agreed to by the i think that was think in some ways that was i think in some ways that was i think in some ways that was almost to unite the party. I think at stage, if you i think at that stage, if you look some of the conservative look at some of the conservative mps, forget before we mps, you know, forget before we talk about public that the talk about the public that the party on anything talk about the public that the parthad on anything talk about the public that the parthad members on anything talk about the public that the parthad members of n anything talk about the public that the parthad members of parliament you had members of Parliament Within conservative within the conservative party that , you know, forget that refused, you know, forget about theresa may. There was remainer who refused to remainer mps who refused to accept the result of the referendum. She had different types people within referendum. She had different typeparty. People within referendum. She had different typeparty. Think eople within referendum. She had different typeparty. Think duringvithin referendum. She had different typeparty. Think during those her party. I think during those two years what had gone on with her as pm, almost united the party into a situation where were in absolute crisis. We were in an absolute crisis. We actually need to get behind brexit, essentially, and you needed somebody with outrageous confidence to in a boris confidence to do it in a Boris Johnson profile to come. But theresa may also made some bad decisions came some bad decisions when it came to election. She to that snap election. She called remember the dementia called you remember the dementia tax my god. And tax i mean oh my god. And the foxhunting it almost foxhunting reprieve. It almost cost the conservative party that election. Corbyn got election. Corbyn almost got in unbelievably , i was the unbelievably, i was the journalist who actually said to her when she emerged at the welsh tories manifesto launch, martin. We knew that the u turn and we knew that the u turn was coming. And i said to her, what else will change Prime Minister . And she said nothing has changed. Nothing has changed to me. And that became the moment defined that, that moment which defined that, that election she couldnt election that she couldnt recognise. Fact, recognise. And in fact, you cant parts of your cant rewrite parts of your manifestos, you know, when you ran that manifesto ran for office, that manifesto is it has a kind of holy text, so you cant be touched. Well, think shell be well, i think shell be remembered. For apart from the dancing falling dancing and the letters falling off and repeating a robot brexit. Well, she was secretary well, she was home secretary for, for all the time that David Cameron minister. Cameron was Prime Minister. I think response to the think her response to the salisbury really salisbury poisonings was really strong. She threw out strong. I think she threw out russian diplomats. She built a coalition of, of, of the willing, amongst other allies on the world stage. That was really strong. I think she you know, she she kept the lid on that job, that being home secretary, no one is home secretary for six years. Right. Was years. Right. But she was because ran that office, the because she ran that office, the home an rule. Home office with an iron rule. She would say, wheres she . Here, the modern slavery legislation she pushed through was, was would be up along was, was would be up there along with she promoted women with the fact she promoted women as and sir neil with the fact she promoted women as maiden and sir neil with the fact she promoted women as maiden hair. And sir neil in maiden hair. Do you think she will always be fondly remembered . Shell be fondly remembered . Shell always have a glass of wine bought for her in the local taverns when she walks in, for sure. She put mean it on the map. I think prior to her, i dont think prior to her, i dont think people knew maine had think many people knew maine had existed became home existed until she became home secretary obviously secretary and obviously Prime Minister. I think her work in maidenhead is second none. Maidenhead is second to none. The shes done, the commitment shes done, whether its home secretary pm now a backbencher , i mean, now as a backbencher, i mean, she was out last weekend campaigning. This is a relentless worker, somebody with an incredible work ethic. I think of course as pm, i think we can all look back and say that wasnt greatest pm by that wasnt our greatest pm by any of the imagination, any stretch of the imagination, but i think as a as a parliamentarian, i think theres very few that will be that are better than to be honest. Better than her, to be honest. Probably rather well and she probably rather well after mean, after politics. I mean, most former ministers shes former Prime Ministers do. Shes were about in, were talking about her role in, in slave trade. So in ending the slave trade. So shell be very, very modern. Slavery slavery be slavery and slavery should be very, well connected. And very, very well connected. And that and you would assume she would ambassadorial , would take up an ambassadorial, well paid job on world stage well paid job on the world stage or in the of or a place in the house of lords. her, number 10 lords. Her, number 10 today, i asked her, number 10 today, will a peerage . And she will she get a peerage . And she is one if wants one, is one if she wants one, i reckon, and sure she wont reckon, and im sure she wont be she did be lost to public life. She did say giving up say very clearly, im giving up because i cant give the time i want to the people of maidenhead at time as i do my work at the same time as i do my work on shes on modern slavery. So shes not going stop. Think, you going to stop. And i think, you know, its a nuanced know, i think its a nuanced view. Think brexit is clouding view. I think brexit is clouding our viewers and listeners judgements, and thats understandable. But as youre understandable. But as youre eloquently is eloquently saying, there is a side her are those side to her which are those local which right to local mp which is right to discuss. Okay. You much, chris thank you very much, chris obe, sunil sharma, thank you very joining us the very much forjoining us in the studio discussing the resignation legacy of resignation and the legacy of former theresa former Prime Minister theresa may. Now, well have lots more on this story after 5 00, and theres plenty of on theres plenty of coverage on our website, gbnews. Com. And youve helped make the youve helped make it the fastest National News Fastest Growing National News website in the country. So thank you very much. Now to a story you very much. Now to a story that i you very much. Now to a story thati can you very much. Now to a story that i can tell you has got many, many Firearms Officers in this country absolutely fuming. This country absolutely fuming. And the mets Police Marksman who shot dead chris kaba has been named publicly for the first time. Martin blake denied murder when he appeared at the old bailey today. And to discuss this, im now joined by our home and security editor, mark white. Mark, a very, very controversial case and the naming of this officer has caused huge consternation amongst Police Officers. Officers. Yeah, theres a great deal of upset and we wait to see what exactly will be the response of many of these Firearms Officers attached to the metropolitan Police Firearms command when this officer was charged in september of last year, hundreds of the mets Firearms Officers decided they were going to step back from their armed duties. That caused a real crisis within the metropolitan police, and we saw them having to call for a mutual aid for Firearms Officers from other Police Forces to come into london to help out. And indeed, the military was put on standby at one point, as well as this crisis really intensified , this crisis really intensified, things have settled down a bit since then, but clearly this is another flashpoint now that this man , martin blake, a 40 year old man, martin blake, a 40 year old serving firearms officer within that firearms command at the metropolitan police, has been named. He appeared at the old bailey today to deny a charge of murder that he murdered 24 year old chris kaba. Now, mr kaba was old chris kaba. Now, mr kaba was driving an audi, not his own audi , in streatham in south audi, in streatham in south london on the 5th of september 2022. It was connected to firearms offences from the previous day , and armed officers previous day, and armed officers tried to stop that vehicle in this operation. To stop the this operation. To stop the vehicle and stratum a shot was fired through the front windscreen of this car, which struck mr kaba in the head. He died in hospital the next day, there was a lot of anger on the streets of south london in connection with this incident. A decision was then taken a year later to charge this officer with murder. As i say, that with murder. As i say, that caused again a reaction from those Firearms Officers who say they really guys, theyre not above the law, but they want the authorities to take into account the fact that they have to make split second decisions in very difficult circumstances, trying to keep londoners safe, so as i say, we await to see what the reaction of those Firearms Officers will be to this latest development if they walk out en masse again, expect another crisis at a time when the metropolitan police and, of course, Firearms Officers in urban centres of population right across the uk are dealing with some very significant and serious violent crime. Indeed, mark white, the timing could not be worse if those officers decide to down tools. Thank you very much. Mark white, our home and security editor. Now white, our home and security editor.

A country is only really a shared dream. As long as enough people have a shared idea of what it is, then that country exists. What gb news does is give voices somewhere they can be heard. The neil oliver show sundays from 6 pm. On. Gb news. Sundays from 6 pm. On. Gb news. Welcome back. Its 426. Youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now, later this hour, ill have the very latest royal news. But before that, protesters or demonstrators against a decision to house Asylum Seekers at raf scampton. And its exactly one year today since the home Office Planned to put 2000 migrants there were revealed, as the government tries to reduce its reliance on Expensive Hotel bills. Well, joining me now is save our scampton campaigner sarah carter. Sarah, thank you so much forjoining us on the so much for joining us on the show. One year on and youre still doggedly protesting on whats the latest on the ground . Do you think youre any nearer to stopping this or i still fearful as many are that they will still press on and put 2000 military age men in the historic base of dambusters . Raf scampton i well, you have to remember that were dealing with the home office here, so nothing is ever clear , i mean, were nearly at clear, i mean, were nearly at the end of section q, clear, i mean, were nearly at the end of section o, which is the end of section o, which is the emergency powers. The Home Home Office have given themselves to be able to use scampton for the last year. So were nearly at the end of that. And yet, theyve not and as yet, theyve not submitted an application for an sdo, given three sdo, which were given three years more, planning permission. Years more, planning permission. So were just sort of on tenterhooks at the moment, waiting to find out what the what their next move is. And sarah, can you explain to those who may not be fully up to speed with your protest, just why in your mind this site is completely unsuitable for the purpose the home office is intending . Its unsuitable and intending . Its unsuitable and so many levels for the fact that theyve admitted that we will actually be an experiment because theyve not done a site like this before, not with such a huge number, but also so close to a residential estate and also bordering a Primary School as well. So that on one level, the fact that the local council have been working for 15 years to make sure that when raf scampton closed , it was not just going to closed, it was not just going to become another Housing Estate or an , and it was an industrial estate, and it was actually to have actually going to have its history its Heritage History and its heritage protected. So, you know, £300 protected. So, you know, £300 Million Investment million of private investment into lincolnshire. Another reason its just on every level, its the wrong idea. And sarah, with crushing predictability, sadly , great predictability, sadly, great swathes of the media would refer to people like you as far right extremists. What would you say to that . To that . I say to them, look, if youre going to call me racist, then you might as well call me sexist as well, because theyre planning 2000 men here. Planning to put 2000 men here. Where the at where do you draw the line . At the calling. The name calling. Does it make feel but how does it make you feel when concerned members of the community with legitimate concerns for safety, for overcrowding, for the pressure on Public Services, all of that is totally legitimate. And yet your legitimate issues are just smeared and brushed aside as if you dont matter. What does that make you feel about the priorities that britain is placing upon its own citizens . Placing upon its own citizens . Its really frustrating. I its really frustrating. I mean, youre speaking to people that sort of live in the area. You get to hear their concerns on on daily basis to and on a on a daily basis to and have the home office saying that they are consulting with us is sort of beyond a joke. We have meetings with the home office and they give us a lecture and we ask them questions and we never get the answers to that. Never get the answers to that. They just dont seem to know themselves what what is happening in and sarah, its one year on now. Its the birthday, a birthday none of you no doubt wanted to get to. And yet here you are , get to. And yet here you are, doggedly fighting on whats next. Whats the when next. Whats the future when does end . Does this end . Well, theres no celebration and definitely no cake. Today but whats next . Were going to carry on fighting. Were not giving up. Were going to be a thorn in the home offices side until theyve actually withdrawn from this. And i know sir from this. And i know that sir edward lee was talking today and mentioning about maybe having a compromise. But even if you compromise. But even if you stick 200 migrants in the accommodation block here with regards to saving money, which is why they wanted to use scampton, thats only going to save £2,000 a day out of, you know, a potential 8 million. Is it really worth risking a delay on the Heritage Centre to save £2,000 a day . Okay, well, sarah carter from save our scampton campaign a great many people, im sure watching this will be very, very appreciative of what youre doing and theyll be very, very thankful for you for taking a stand, not just for raf scampton, not just for scampton , scampton, not just for scampton, but perhaps for the entire country. Sarah carter. Happy country. Sarah carter. Happy first birthday and i really hope you get the resolution you want. Thank you. Now theres lots more still to come between now and 5 00, and ill speak to the former Police Officer who went undercover to expose a woke police corps. She will not police corps. She will not believe your eyes and ears on this one. But first, heres your latest News Headlines with sam francis. Francis. Martin, thank you very much. Good afternoon from the newsroom.

Top man now the prince of wales has been out and about today about to say exactly what the prince has been up to. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel welcome back 437 is your time. And youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now Prince William is back in action with Health Concerns surrounding his wife, the princess of wales , and, of princess of wales, and, of course, his father, king charles. Questions were beginning to be asked about the heir to the thrones whereabouts as well. But today the prince of wales gloriously out wales was seen gloriously out and about at the oval Cricket Ground just down the road from me. So our royal correspondent, Cameron Walker, is here to tell us more. Cameron, welcome to the show. Whats going on . The show. Whats going on . The prince knocking him for six. Well martin, this exactly. This appears to be a new type of royal engagement for the prince of wales. I understand, and im getting the sense that hes moving away from doing, carrying out of public, engagements out lots of public, engagements around the country and instead focusing on a lot of work behind the scenes to have something which he hopes will have tangible impacts. And what i mean by that is, for example, his earthshot prize, which he launched in 2020, finding Different Solutions to repair our planet over the next decade. Kensington palace announced this morning that one of the earthshot winners, notpla, which is a start up which won the revive our oceans category, which has found a way to create Food Packaging out of seaweed rather than plastic. A new multi Million Pound deal between them and levi uk and ireland, which is the uks largest sports and entertainment caterer in the country, supplying over 50 stadiums including the oval here in london. With that Food Packaging in the food and this partnership is expected, im told, to see 75 million plastic free disposable food containers, be used around the country in these stadiums, which means less plastic clogging up our oceans over the next three years. Thats the idea. So from a small start up before the earthshot prize to a scaling up across the country and potentially the world, but im told the reason im up is because im bringing this up is because im bringing this up is because im Prince William has im told that Prince William has been hours and been working hours and hours and hours behind the scenes trying to to happen. So to get this deal to happen. So here the co founder of notpla here is the co founder of notpla pierre, how prince pierre, to explain how Prince William got involved. Hes really involved in hes been really involved in creating more connections within the sports industry. I mean, as president of the fa, one of the first conversations we had with him was theres got to be something we can do between kind of sports of like sports and sustainability accelerate the sustainability to accelerate the transition. Very generous with his hes been coming his time. And hes been coming physically to our office to meet our partners and basically tell them, how do we go faster and that obviously makes a huge difference in in getting everyone kind of like excited on board and just kind of like making this a reality now is the dangen royal fans will be disappointed for not seeing Prince William out and about as often perhaps would be the often as perhaps he would be the late queen famously thought that royals seen to be royals had to be seen to be believed, but aides insist that pubuc believed, but aides insist that public engagements still public engagements are still going to continue. And in fact, hes due to appear in public on monday westminster for monday at Westminster Abbey for the service. The Commonwealth Day service. Great stuff. And thats Cameron Walker there at the oval cricket stadium in vauxhall. Thank you very much. Not sure about, based food about, seaweed based Food Packaging when the chips taste like sea. Anyway last month like the sea. Anyway last month Staffordshire Police held a training day for the local community and you will not believe what they are telling people. More trans and pronouns. Madness. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel gb news is the home of free speech. We were created to champion it, and we deliver it day in, day out. Free speech day in, day out. Free speech allows us all to explore and debate the issues most debate openly. The issues most important to us, our families. And course, the british and of course, the british people having challenging conversations enlighten conversations to enlighten each other, is why we hear all other, which is why we hear all sides of the argument. We are the peoples channel. We are the peoples channel. We are the peoples channel. We will always stand by the freedom to express yourself on tv, radio and online. This is gb news, britains news channel. News channel. Welcome back. Its 444. Youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now at 5 00. Ill have lots of reaction to the news that the former Prime Minister, theresa may. You might remember her. Shes ill also be shes quitting. Ill also be reading of your emails. Reading out lots of your emails. Its fair to say not everyone in my inbox has been too complimentary about the former Prime Minister, the maybot. In fact, weve had to look very hard to find something positive. Now moving on. Last month , now moving on. Last month, Staffordshire Police held a training day for the local community. Did they let kids have a look around the station . Maybe let them wear a coppers hat . Or maybe they let people meet their sniffer dogs . I mean, who doesnt love a springer spaniel . No, none of that. Not a jot of that. Instead, Staffordshire Police let a group which claimed gender critical views or hate speech to carry out a training day. Staffordshire police was criticised for permitting the organisation to carry out an inappropriate and inaccurate course in february. Now the session was delivered by the group uniting staffordshire against hate at the forces hq and members of the public, and im joined now by the gender critical we are fair cop group who attended undercover , the who attended undercover, the boss of which is my old mate harry miller. Harry you went undercover to expose these, people . What did you find . Why people . What did you find . Why did you do it . Well, i did it because Staffordshire Police made the mistake of putting out a call for hate crime champions. So i thought, i know ill apply to become a hate crime champion. Now. Now. I thought they would recognise harry miller. Recognise the name harry miller. Having police on having beaten the police on numerous , but they numerous occasions, but they didnt. I down didnt. So i went down to staffordshire was. I had a staffordshire and i was. I had a days training in hate crime so that i could be part of the citizen stasi that is able to detect hate speech wherever we find it. It was an absolute, utter disaster. Tell us about some of their their materials and their messaging. Well, first of all, they had no idea what crime was. They didnt understand that you cannot have a crime you cannot have a hate crime without, first all, having without, first of all, having a crime. Thats the first thing major, major error. But then went on to tell but then they went on to tell us about unconscious bias, and they identified 150 different types unconscious bias. Types of unconscious bias. They didnt name them. They just told us there were 150. And they all was flawed they said all of this was flawed thinking. I they said all of this was flawed thinking. I said, they said all of this was flawed thinking. I said, well, hold on thinking. I said, well, hold on a minute. This may not necessarily be true. Lets for instance, lets take, for instance, the a was walking down a woman who was walking down a dark street at night and her unconscious bias warns her that the footsteps behind her are those of an unknown male, and as a result of that, she takes defensive action and moves away. I was told that this was the equivalent of racism, that the woman judging the unknown footsteps was the same as a racist, and we needed to get rid of this unconscious bias. Gender critical women , we gender critical women, we were told that they were the equivalent of right wing fascists, which is entirely untrue. And we were told by a poet called george the poet. We were subjected to a 10 to 15 minute sort of rap poet by george the poet, and he said that the defining characteristic of hate crime is not its not crime or hate. Its prejudice. Hate. Its prejudice. Well, its not the police should know the defining characteristic of any crime is crime. Mens rea plus actus reus minus a defence, and then it becomes the hate crime. If the motivation is seen as hostility towards a protected characteristic. Characteristic. Now, harry, we can roll our eyes, we can scoff, we can laugh. We can flick their noses and laugh in their faces. But this laugh in their faces. But this is being taught as actual law. And if coppers are going out there and somehow enforcing this law or nosing around on social media, weve got a problem. Oh, media, weve got a problem. Oh, we have absolutely. And Staffordshire Police have been disingenuous about been entirely disingenuous about this. Called them and this. Once i called them out and we over a million views and we had over a million views and they said, was just they said, oh, it was just simply a community discussion. And by the way, miller, and by the way, harry miller, youre staffordshire, and by the way, harry miller, y0|you staffordshire, and by the way, harry miller, y0|you shouldntytaffordshire, and by the way, harry miller, y0|you shouldnt be fordshire, and by the way, harry miller, y0|you shouldnt be there. Re, so you shouldnt be there. Entirely point. So you shouldnt be there. Ent wrong. Point. So you shouldnt be there. Entwrong. It point. So you shouldnt be there. Entwrong. It was point. So you shouldnt be there. Entwrong. It was a point. So you shouldnt be there. Entwrong. It was a hate|t. So you shouldnt be there. Entwrong. It was a hate crime. Wrong. It was a hate crime. Wrong. It was a hate crime. Champions training day, people were being trained to grass up on their neighbours. Grass up on their neighbours. People were being trained to spot hate in a slice of toast. Spot hate in a slice of toast. Thats what they were. Thats what they were being told to do. What they were being told to do. Now, the police were not able to identify crime was. They identify what crime was. They werent able to identify what genuine hate was. They werent able to identify anything that was value to a citizen was of any value to a citizen who wants to have a better, more, more peaceful, more secure, more law abiding world. It was stasi. Thats exactly it was stasi. Thats exactly what it was, harry. I looked into crime in staffordshire. Heres some staffordshire. Heres some headunes staffordshire. Heres some headlines that came up. Number of Theft Arrests in staffordshire. Hobbs in five years. Eight years. Police solved just eight burglaries in East Staffordshire in the past 12 months. 71 of burglaries in staffordshire go unsolved. Crime in staffordshire is 15 above the national average. Why are they wasting average. Why are they wasting the time on this nonsense . Ive absolutely no idea. Well, i do know why theyre doing theyre doing it doing it. Theyre doing it because prioritised the because theyve prioritised the politics community. Politics of the lgbt community. Left politics, black lives left wing politics, black lives matter politics, eco politics over and above genuine crime. They look down on people who have burglaries. They look down on people who suffer assaults. These are not important enough crimes because theyre not political crimes. And in that sense, they operate just like the stasi. During my case in 2020 against the chief constable of humberside, mrjustice nowell said weve never had a stasi, a cheka or a gestapo in this country. Well we are, were getting them. Thats the problem. Mrjustice knowles. I dont think he was being hyperbolic. I think what he was being was he saw the direction of travel that the police were travelling toward. And were now there. We now there. We have there. We are now there. We have hate crime champions within our neighbourhoods , just like the neighbourhoods, just like the stasi, who could not distinguish a crime from a sausage loaf. Seriously the thing is, harry, though of course you know a lot of coppers, a lot of rank and file bobbies on the beat. They dont like stuff either. They like this stuff either. They wish could just police wish they could just be Police Officers. People at officers. Is it the people at the bottom thats the problem . Or just Bad Information or is it just Bad Information trickling i lam k its Bad Information trickling its because trickling down. And its because Police Commissioners police and Crime Commissioners have job. What have not done their job. What what do is fire what pccs need to do is fire chief constables chief constables have not done their job. What they need to do is police without fear or favour and get rid of anything that looks political. This is left looks political. This is left fair cop doing the job of the chief constable and the pcc, which is trying to rid our Police Forces of all political influence and get back to doing what mr peel first imagined, which was policing without fear or favour. And i believe that when you put this out, a certain jk rowling got involved in signal, boosted it . Yeah, absolutely. Rowling a signal boosted jk rowling a signal boosted it. And Jordan Peterson followed us its a message that us because its a message that resonates with people. Want resonates with people. We want a police force that we can be proud of. And what we have at the moment is a police force, which with which has more in common with the stasi than it does with the bobby on the beat. Now, most Police Officers are good, honest, hardworking men and women. They loathe this stuff. Absolutely hate it. They contact me all the time, send me information through so that i can then challenge the police force on their behalf because theyre terrified theyre likely to lose their job if they challenge any of this. Well, no doubt harry miller, they regret letting you through they regret letting you through the anyway, weve the cat flap. And anyway, weve got comment we got a spokesperson, a comment we have read out for have to read out for staffordshire who said Staffordshire Police who said this, was delivered this, this event was delivered and uniting and facilitated by uniting staffordshire and staffordshire against hate and was solely for members of our local community. The session aimed to stimulate conversation and enable sharing of a wide range of views, with the intention of encouraging tolerance and increasing understanding of the impact of hate crime. Harry miller, thank you very much for joining us hate crime. Harry miller, thank you very much forjoining us in the studio. Now lets quickly move on. Lets go stateside, because us President Joe Biden has used his state of the union speech to take a swipe at his republican rival, donald trump. Biden said the former president sought to bury the truth about the 2021 january 6th attack on the 2021 january 6th attack on the us capitol , whilst he also the us capitol, whilst he also used a speech to condemn his recent comments about nato and russia. Russia. A former republican president tells putin, quote , do whatever tells putin, quote, do whatever the hell you want. Thats a, the hell you want. Thats a, quote, a former president actually said that bowing down to a russian leader , i think to a russian leader, i think its outrageous, its dangerous, andifs its outrageous, its dangerous, and its unacceptable. All. And its unacceptable. All. Right now, this whole event historically , the state of the historically, the state of the union is literally about the state of the united states. Its a president ial address to the nafion a president ial address to the nation where they normally talk about things like the economy or immigration or schools or, you know, the things people seem to care about. This, however, was a very carefully scripted and pr attempt to show to address the critics of joe biden that, after all, look, im in control of my faculties. All those rumours about me, theyre not true at all. And it also turned into a huge rallying point where he steamed into donald trump. It steamed into donald trump. It became, in effect, a president ial nomination , almost president ial nomination, almost like he fired the starting gun on his campaign. Elianne. Now, my point is, is this the right use of the state of the union . The liberal media has to be said. Theyve absolutely lapped it up. Despite his constant gaffes and the fact he fools up more stairs than ive hot more stairs than ive had hot dinners. Going, yep , dinners. Theyre going, yep, hes were going to hes our man. Were going to back quickly, before hes our man. Were going to bac end quickly, before hes our man. Were going to bac end this quickly, before hes our man. Were going to bac end this minute, before hes our man. Were going to bac end this minute, iafore hes our man. Were going to bac end this minute, i want the end of this minute, i want to a of to read through a few of your emails on the topic of the day, and that is the resignation of theresa may ahead of the general election. And heres a few of them, a few of them that were allowed to read out on telly. Allowed to read out on telly. Michael says this. Im sad to hear theresa may leaving at the next election. Im not tory next election. Im not a tory supporter. But may resign supporter. But when may resign as it showed how as Prime Minister it showed how much she loves much that she loves this country. Quigley says this country. Kath quigley says this iused country. Kath quigley says this i used to like theresa may but lost faith in her when she kept crawling to the eu. Theresa may never really had her heart in it to leave the eu. Now then, if you had hoped that the huge pro palestine protest were about to end, then im afraid youre going to be disappointed tomorrow. And in a few minutes ill discuss the rights and wrongs those demonstrations, wrongs of those demonstrations, and a shocking video and well have a shocking video which shows some pro Palestinian Protesters going Just Stop Oil, with some added extra vandalism on the top. Theyve gone completely nuts and damaged a painting. You will not believe your eyes. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, but first its time for your latest Weather Forecast with annie shuttleworth.

Today a huge pro palestine protest is set to take place in london once again tomorrow , london once again tomorrow, after the governments counter extremism tsar said londons streets have now become a no go zone forjews during the a no go zone for jews during the demonstrations. Well, if you ask me, there are no go zones for anybody who disagrees with them. Next dance on onto the stage next she dance on onto the stage when she was Prime Minister. There she is doing the maybot. But like dozens of other tory mps, theresa may will exit stage right at the next general election. Just why are so many conservatives quitting , i conservatives quitting, i wonder, and education secretary Gillian Keegan is in hot water once again , when she said she once again, when she said she would probably punched a teaching inspector who apparently was being really rude, but its not really. The smartest thing for an Education Minister to say is it . That and much more is all coming up in your next hour. Thank you very your next hour. Thank you very much for joining your next hour. Thank you very much forjoining us on this much for joining us on this friday afternoon. I want to hear from you, gb views at gbviews gbnews. Com, the usual way. First of all, weve had hundreds. In way. First of all, weve had hundreds. In fact, weve had now almost 2000 emails around the topic of may was she the topic of theresa may was she the worst ever conservative Prime Minister or have people that came after her stolen that crown from her . Get in touch that way ill read out some of the ones that are a bit more polite, shall i say. Plus ive got an absolutely shocking video of a Palestine Action group. Theyve done. What . Just stop oil have done. What . Just stop oil have done to a painting, but theyve gone a step further. Theyve absolutely destroyed a painting. Ill have that video for you shortly. And that on the eve of another pro palestine march, and weve declared no go zone areas for jews because of that. Loads more coming in an action packed hour ahead. But first, its your hour ahead. But first, its your latest News Headlines with sam francis. Francis. Martin, thank you very much. Good evening from the gb newsroom. Just gone 5 00. And we newsroom. Just gone 5 00. And we start with news from Northern Ireland, where the first minister has today apologised to families of the alleged informers who were killed by the ira, and says shes wholeheartedly committed to heaung wholeheartedly committed to healing the wounds of the past. Its after a Major Investigation found more lives were probably lost than saved by a double agent during the troubles. Codenamed stakeknife, he was working covertly for the british army inside the iras internal Security Unit operation canova, which was conducted by Bedfordshire Police, examined more than 100 murders and abductions linked to that unit. Chief constable john bucha, whos now with the Police Service in Northern Ireland, says theres strong evidence of very serious criminality. Stakeknife was undoubtedly a valuable asset who provided intelligence about the ira at considerable risk to himself, claims that he was responsible for saving countless or hundreds of lives are hugely exaggerated. Most importantly , these claims most importantly, these claims belie the fact that stakeknife was himself involved in very serious and wholly unjustifiable criminality whilst operating as an agent , criminality whilst operating as an agent, including murders. Well, stakeknife is widely believed to have been a west belfast man who was 77 when he died last year. Belfast man who was 77 when he died last year. Solicitor kevin died last year. Solicitor kevin winters, who represents a number of the victims families, says the agent needs to be identified officially. Officially. The decision not to name Freddie Scappaticci as the agent stakeknife has been difficult for many to accept the legal and tactical rationale for doing so will be lost on many people, particularly next of kin of those murdered. Those murdered. Met Police Firearms officer martin blake has denied the murder of chris kaba after being named publicly today for the first time. The 24 year old was shot once in the head through the windscreen of a car in south london in september of 2022. The officer was initially identified as 121, but it was ruled that the 40 year old can now be named because it poses no real risk to his life or that of his family. Hes been released on bail and is due to face trial in october of this year. The counter extremism tsar has warned. London has become a no go zone for jews during pro palestinian protests. Its after the Prime Minister said forces are trying to tear the country apart. Writing in the telegraph, robin simcox said rishi sunak was right to raise concerns about the increase in extremist disruption, and he says policies are needed to meet the scale of the challenges faced. And hes urged ministers to be bolder and willing to accept higher legal risk when they tackle extremism. Risk when they tackle extremism. Meanwhile, the foreign secretary has said its incredibly frustrating that israel is not taking more steps to allow aid into gaza. The uk has announced it will join the us to create a new port on the strip , providing new port on the strip, providing support on planning and surveying the area. However the foreign secretary says theres an option to deliver aid to gaza immediately while that temporary pier is constructed. Pier is being constructed. This new idea from the president of the united states, which were involved in, are building a temporary harbour in gaza means that aid will be able to go directly from cyprus to gaza , but its going to take gaza, but its going to take time to build. So the crucial thing is today, the israelis must confirm that theyll open the port at ashdod that is in israel. But thats a working port. It could take aid now that would increase the amount of aid. And that aid can then be dnven aid. And that aid can then be driven into gaza. That would make a real difference. And we need a real difference need to make a real difference right as well. Right now as well. Martin mentioned, at the as martin mentioned, at the top his programme, historic top of his programme, historic artwork has today been damaged by a group of pro palestinian activists at cambridge university. We if youre watching on tv, you can see here pictures from the social media account of that pro Palestinian Group of the painting of former Prime Minister lord balfour being sprayed. You can see there with red paint before being slashed apart. The governments adviser on Political Violence and disruption has described it as outrageous and senseless. The Palestine Action group has claimed the peace symbolised the bloodshed of the Palestinian People since the Balfour Declaration. The education declaration. The education secretary said she would have probably punched rude ofsted staff after hearing about a school inspection. Addressing school inspection. Addressing school and College Leaders Gillian Keegan says she was shocked to hear about some peoples experiences, while sources close to the mp say her off the cuff comments during the q a were meant to be light hearted and were not a threat of violence. Threat of violence. Ive heard from my own, you know, my own constituency. Know, my own constituency. People say i had. I had recently actually a fantastic school. I went into and they said they told me how officer had, you told me how the officer had, you know, they were ofsted experience had gone and i was shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I mean, i was actually shocked. I thought, god, if id have met these people, id have probably them. Were probably punched them. They were really from me for now. Thats it from me for now. More the next hour. In more in the next half hour. In the meantime, can sign up the meantime, you can sign up to gb alerts scanning gb news alerts by scanning the code on screen, or go code there on your screen, or go to news. Com alerts. Now to gb news. Com alerts. Now though, its back to martin in westminster. Westminster. Thank you sam. Now we start this hour on reports of a new anti islamophobia saw being named by the government. Its part of a major crackdown launched by michael gove and fiyaz mughal is in the running to get that job, and hes been critical of the governments approach to tackling extremism in the past. And all this comes as the governments counter extremism tsar has called london a no go zone forjews. Well, im joined now in our studio to discuss this by our political edhon discuss this by our Political Editor, christopher hope, and political commentator and great friend of the and is Donald Friend of the show and is donald trump. Matthew stadlen, trump. Ty matthew stadlen, welcome both. Go. Welcome to you both. Lets go. First to you, chris. Hope so. In the budget this week, there was Million Pounds to a muslim war memorial after huge allegations of islamophobia sparked in large by what lee anderson said on this show. Two weeks ago today. Now, an announcement of an anti islamic assault. What does that roll entail and who might be in it . This role is described as anti islamic. This role is described as anti islamic. Phobias are. But anti islamic. Phobias are. But of course, the government doesnt define islamophobia , doesnt define islamophobia, doesnt define islamophobia, does it . It tried to do this a few years ago and then gave up doing it isnt as anti muslim hatred. Technical hatred. Adviser is a technical firm. This person will be appointed probably next week. Appointed probably next week. Fires mughal is one of the leading candidates to take the job. He runs a Counter Extremism Group called faith matters. Tell mama he in the past has been very critical of the governments prevent strategy. He supported the William Shawcross report by a commission by braverman, then by suella braverman, the then home secretary, in february last yeah home secretary, in february last year. That this year. It found that this prevents justify was in fact , it prevents justify was in fact, it was actually squandering, being squandered money. Our money, taxpayers money is being squandered on people who are who are maintaining status quo, are maintaining the status quo, is wrong people. So is getting the wrong people. So hes critical hes been quite critical of the way the prevent has been way the prevent money has been spent. Is soft, power , spent. That is a soft, power, pool of money given out to Community Groups trying to bring on and stop people being radicalised in the Muslim Community. So they are this is what they announced next week. It a week when it goes back to a week ago when the pm the steps of the pm was on the steps of downing street, saying that that radical and radical extremism left and right, country right, is pulling this country apart. Our democracy is under apart. Our democracy is under threat, next week threat, he said. And next week well see probably the definition of what extremism is. So next week were going to see some actual meat on the bones set by the pm last friday. Set out by the pm last friday. Does role entail . I what does the role entail . I mean, we hear all the time of theres been a 700 boom in anti semitism. Theres no anti semitism. Theres no anti semitism. So why do we need anti semitism. So why do we need anti semitism. So why do we need an anti islam . Well, there is there is actually this lord man john man is the government adviser uncorrected good on anti semitism. And this has almost equalises out there was previously a candidate who was appointed in 2019. He he did leave the role and he had been appointed his court imam. Kazim he was appointed to try and produce a definition of islamophobia. They gave up in 2022. I think that position is getting increasingly untenable because its important, and we saw our colleague. Saw it with with our colleague. But at the time, as a tory mp speaking to us about extremism, saying that he felt that, sadiq khan had been captured by his his mates , he said it and, his mates, he said it and, islamist people, he said that and he said, you know, its not defined islamophobia. And thats part of the problem. I think what were going to have here is an attempt the government to an attempt by the government to reach communities in reach out to the communities in this community and this in the Muslim Community and get and try and say, get them onside and try and say, heres someone looking after your interests, okay. Stafford, like matthew stafford, id like to turn now. They turn to you now. Why are they doing this . For example, the Million Pound statue, the war memorial statue. Do you think thats a cynical attempt almost by a government to buy their way into the notion that theyre not theyve been accused of islamophobia a lot in the past. And now appointing azhar, is it because they care, or is it because they care, or is it because theyve been forced into it . For me to get into it . Difficult for me to get into the and the heads of the the minds and the heads of the government, probably the minds and the heads of the goverrimnt, probably the minds and the heads of the goverrim not probably the minds and the heads of the goverrim not a probably the minds and the heads of the goverrim not a fan probably the minds and the heads of the goverrim not a fan prthis ly know, im not a fan of this conservative government and conservative government in and of a good of itself. I think its a good thing, because not thing, because perhaps not enough this country enough of us in this country realise the very important realise the very, very Important Role that muslims played in fighting in the First World War and in the Second World War against fascism and against nazism. Not, by the way, just muslims , but hindus and sikhs muslims, but hindus and sikhs and people from the caribbean. And people from the caribbean. We kind of tend to look back at that part of our history , some that part of our history, some of us not me, and imagine that it was white people. It wasnt. We were already, to an extent, not extent that are not to the extent that we are today so recognising today diverse. So recognising that, vital and this that, i think is vital and this government has had a problem with islamophobia, and we talk about suella braverman. She was until the home until recently, martin, the home secretary. She has said that islamists and anti semites. Secretary. She has said that islamists and anti semites. And islamists and anti semites. And islamists and anti semites. And i say this as someone who is jewish myself, are in control iiow. Now. Theyre not in control now. Theyre not in control now. Rishi sunaks government is in control. The police, i would argue, are largely in control. And to say that anti semites and islamists in control is deliberately to fan the flames of division in this country, when the governments role should be to bring us together , should be to bring us together, should be to bring us together, should be to bring us together, should be a definition of islamic phobia as a reason of anti semitism. I dont see what the big problem with it is. I mean, anti semitism seems to me to be prejudiced against or hatred of nastiness towards jewish people, right . But thats people. Thats individuals. Jewish people, right . But thats people. Thats individuals. As people. Thats individuals. As islam is a religion, islamophobia, not a race, islamophobia, not a race, islamophobia or. Well, and you could argue that jews are not a race, right . You can convert to judaism when it comes to islamophobia. What do i understand it . What do i think most people watching this show today understand as it today will understand it as it is similarly to anti semitism, prejudice against muslims , prejudice against muslims, sometimes hatred against muslims. Now should we be phobia is an irrational fear. Its not prejudice. Should we be free, martin, to criticise the muslim religion or the jewish religion . Yes, absolutely. We should, because im an agnostic to me , all religion is agnostic to me, all religion is fair game. Should we be prejudiced against people . No. But when you criticise. No. But when you criticise. If only that were the case. But the Batley Grammar School teacher, three years on the 25th of march, has been in hiding. Its proof that if you its proof pudding that if you criticise theres criticise islam theres a dangeh criticise islam theres a danger. What do we know . We know that there is islamophobe here in this country. We also know that weve got an islamism problem in this country. Weve got some very bad people who described themselves as muslim. Weve got some extremists. Weve got some extremists. Thats not the overwhelming the vast majority of british muslims. Okay, i have a quick quote to read out here. Its from commander karen findlay, who will oversee policing across london tomorrow. Of course, theres another pro palestine march going ahead. And she said this our role remains to police impartially, being robust in tackling hate crime and extremism and ensuring protest is managed within the law. We have to police to the law as it is, not as others would wish it to be. And chris, hope i can see you waving your arm there. Well, the reason why theyre saying that is because this last a ago the step of a week ago on the step of downing the pm said downing street, the pm said he expects police take expects the police to take action. Think people are action. And i think people are watching these, these these marches, marches , marches, these passing marches, notably now notably last saturday and now tomorrow. Why that tomorrow. And thats why that police is saying that Police Officer is saying that because people going because people are going to go, well, going happen well, whats going to happen next . Could next . And it could there could be flashpoints as you be flashpoints because as you saw the projector saw when you saw the projector putting offensive putting those offensive words onto big ben tower and the onto the big ben tower and the police didnt step in for their own reasons. Of course , but that own reasons. Of course, but that that thats where the kind of crisis and arent crisis starts. And why arent the in these the police . Police in these marches in on this . Please may i jump in on this . Please do. Yeah. Just look, a british just look, im a british person, right . Im england fan. Im an England Rugby fan. Im an England Rugby fan. Tomorrow afternoon i will be at desperately at twickenham hoping desperately and shouting very loudly for an engush and shouting very loudly for an english its not going and shouting very loudly for an en happen its not going and shouting very loudly for an en happen againsts not going and shouting very loudly for an en happen against thet going and shouting very loudly for an en happen against the irish. G and shouting very loudly for an en happen against the irish. Im to happen against the irish. Im also someone whose grandparents to happen against the irish. Im also jewish |e whose grandparents to happen against the irish. Im also jewish |e wicamerandparents to happen against the irish. Im also jewish |e wicameranthisents were jewish who came to this country as refugees. I dont want see one example of want to see one example of anti semitism on our streets , anti semitism on our streets, every single act of anti semitism. And ive said this right from the beginning, when these marches started, should be clamped down on and taken extremely seriously by the police. We have as well, to protect our very, very hard won right of protest in this country and the right to freedom of speech and ill give you just one example of these marches on the on the 18th or 17th of february, that whatever saturday that was last month, i think there were roughly 30,000 people on of these demonstrations. On one of these demonstrations. The police made 12 arrests, but thats because theyre standing off, not getting stuck in. Thats now, the thats the question. Now, if the police if and i say this, its an important word. If they are not doing their job, then obviously i call on them obviously i would call on them to their job. But obviously i would call on them to theirjob. But what i hope to do theirjob. But what i hope is in a particular moment is if in a particular moment they feel the best thing is not to get stuck for in whatever reason, thats their operational decision. They are nonetheless getting the sort of footage required to go after these people arrest them, and have them prosecuted afterwards. Is that case . Because was at that the case . Because i was at that the case . Because i was at that march at Parliament Square a wednesdays ago , and a couple of wednesdays ago, and i was pointing out the projector to police. Pointing to the police. I was pointing out in balaclavas to out men in full balaclavas to the pointing out the police. I was pointing out men eggs and throwing men throwing eggs and throwing throwing me . Throwing liquids. You at me . The police didnt have a single scintilla interest in nicking scintilla of interest in nicking anybody , and it left me with the anybody, and it left me with the with the obvious conclusion that theyre not policing with fear or favour. Theyre afraid of this lot and theyre policing with fear. I think a little i think its really good that you go to these, these marches and i want to get involved in one of these myself, to protest on these myself, not to protest on them, by the way, know them, because by the way, i know that are to be some that there are likely to be some anti semites marches anti semites on those marches now, israel every now, i think israel every week. I response to the i think israels response to the horrors of october the 7th, i think theyve got it wrong, doesnt ill on doesnt mean ill go on these marches, i dont to marches, because i dont want to rub anti semites. Rub shoulders with anti semites. Im anything im not saying thats anything like but its not like the majority, but its not my scene. Right . It is good that you go on these marches, but you do go on these marches, but sometimes a little knowledge can be thing, its be a dangerous thing, and its very important not to extrapolate. Extrapolate from very important not to extr example thrapolate from very important not to extr example thra|thenz from very important not to exthexampleixtra|then tarym very important not to extr example thra|then tar the one example and then tar the whole of the police force. No, i absolutely agree with that. And on any march, a minority of knuckleheads get the headlines. We all know that. But what the point im trying to make, matthew, is when i directly said to Police Officers my to the Police Officers my selves, an offence, selves, thats an offence, thats offence, an thats an offence, thats an offence. Going to take offence. Are you going to take action . They no interest in action . They had no interest in taking that can taking action and that only can make believe. I was make me believe. And i also was on cenotaph march, as you on the cenotaph march, as you know, police did take know, where the police did take a different type of action. A very different type of action. They in with batons they steamed in with batons drawn with helmets on the conclusion to those watching was clear two tiered policing seems to be whats happening. All i can say to you is that wherever the police get it wrong, i will be amongst the first to say they shouldnt be getting it wrong. Which amongst us doesnt want the police to their job . The police to do their job . What . Got to be careful what . Weve got to be careful about not to widespread about is not to draw widespread conclusions from individual examples where there is an example, if theyve got it wrong, they need to get it right. Okay. And chris, finally, you were very critical of lee anderson when he said that the politicians should be telling the what to do. Political the police what to do. Political neutrality should be key. Neutrality should be key. Sitting in this chair when he said it, you were i was surprised that an mp would say that mps on these laws, the that mps vote on these laws, the police and to police apply them and we have to try and this, this line try and have this, this line between two, we between those, those two, we cant he said. The cant really have, he said. The government the government government cant the government take because take over the policing because we know, we we we arent, you know, we are. We are you it are britain. You know, it doesnt here. Have doesnt happen here. We have this tradition of our laws are then by the police then interpreted by the police and how they have to have that, that, that, that thin blue line between those two things. At the moment okay. But at the moment it doesnt seem to be working. We seem we seem to be. Thats line that the pm and thats a line that the pm has crossing last week has risked crossing last week when i to see more when he said, i want to see more robust got this robust policing. Hes got this new, are expected to new, the police are expected to enforce the law. They have enforce the law. They cant have people private homes people outside, private homes and the protest laws. I think its a i think the public are crying out for it, but its half the police. The final to you, the final word to you, matthew sadler, the matthew sadler, should the politicians be telling the police , or should police what to do, or should they leave them to do their they just leave them to do their jobs . It comes to jobs . I think when it comes to their independence, their operational independence, clearly the police should be left with it. But left to get on with it. But should jewish people and indeed muslim , because muslim people, because anti semitism and islamophobia have surged since october the 7th, should all of these people, including me , be reassured by including me, be reassured by our authorities . Absolutely and any example of islamophobic hate or anti semitic hate should be clamped down on. So if matthew sadler, an excellent chris obe, excellent. Both of you. Fantastic debate.

Shes quitting before the next general election. Now the next general election. Now the big question is will she . Our worst leader of all time, or she just dealt a bad hand at the wrong time . Well, im about to read out some some of your more printable emails. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel. Brand new sundays from 6 pm. Brand new sundays from 6 pm. The neil oliver show. The neil oliver show. Its absolutely vital that people are given the opportunity to take part in the debate. To to take part in the debate. To say the things that matter to them, be challenged. Them, to be challenged. A country is only really a shared dream. As long as enough people have a shared idea of what it is, then that country exists. What gb news does is give voices somewhere they can be heard. The needle of a show sundays from 6 pm. On gb news. Whos. Whos. Whos. Welcome back. 525 is the time youre watching or listen to me. Martin daubney on gb news now, former Prime Minister theresa may has announced she will not stand at the next general election , just as the tories election, just as the tories head for electoral meltdown. Head for electoral meltdown. Well, will anybody miss her . Well, will anybody miss her . Well, joining me now is the former ukip leader, henry bolton. Henry no doubt youre going to say theresa may. Absolutely blowing liver, mate. Absolutely blowing liver, mate. Are you there . What on earth makes you think that martin, no. Sorry to disappoint you. Im sure ive never met theresa may im sure shes a very likeable, pleasant lady, but when you, are put in a position of leading either the home office or Government Department or the country, youve got to have character. Youve got to have vision. Youve got to have vision. Youve got to have vision. Youve got to have vision. Youve got to have imagination. Youve got to have courage and youve got a will. Youve got to have courage anc have le got a will. Youve got to have courage anc have willpower. Ll. Youve got to have courage anc have willpower. And im have willpower. And im afraid theresa fails on all of those points. And you know, any legacy that we sort of look at in relation to, to theresa may, weve got to we cant look at that without thinking about her as home secretary as well. Although tony blairs administration and gordon brown and so on. And then , she was and so on. And then, she was home secretary under David Cameron, they were responsible, but particularly under theresa. Theresa mays sort of leadership of the home office for decimate the police, not just cutting 21,000 Police Officers, but taking an axe to the civilian employees, palming out and subcontracting custody suites , subcontracting custody suites, prisoner escorts, selling off police stations , over 600 Police Police stations, over 600 police stations. And she continued the process of closing down Regional Police training colleges. So were were still paying the price for that now in the quality of training of our police and the ability for them to work efficiently and so on, not having the premises, but as, as, as Prime Minister, you know , as, as Prime Minister, you know, the brexit debacle under theresa may beggars belief, for me , she may beggars belief, for me, she gave away so much of our advantage to the European Union, over the Northern Ireland situation. She is responsible for the ongoing. We saw that the for the ongoing. We saw that the irish border is now. For the ongoing. We saw that the irish border is now. I for the ongoing. We saw that the irish border is now. I have irish border is now. I have a background in borders, martin, as i think you know. Background in borders, martin, as i think you know. And what as i think you know. And what happened was that the European Commission said to theresa may and Gavin Barwell , her chief of and Gavin Barwell, her chief of staff, when she was Prime Minister. Look you have decided to leave the European Union. The problem of the fact that we are going to have to put physical controls on the border between the southern, the south and the north in ireland is your responsibility. You have to find a solution. And she just rolled over and said, yeah, okay. I accept that, you know, were leaving. Its us thats caused this problem. No the there is a raw theres a raft of administrative of legislation, primary legislation. Secretary legislation mandates for different agencies in the European Union that talk about and require external border controls on the European Unions borders. That is a matter for them. We can never, never from them. We can never, never from outside the European Union alter that fact. The only people that can do that is the European Union, the European Commission leading it. And she so she tied us into something that was impossible to get out of disastrous. Were still paying the price for that as well. The price for that as well. Okay, henry, i want to read out a couple of emails here to you. If i could, joe says this. A of people have been a lot of people have been echoing been and echoing this. Weve been out and about today. Henry about in maidenhead today. Henry theresa was a great mp for theresa may was a great mp for maidenhead, but was a maidenhead, but she was a shocking Prime Minister for great britain. And peter adds this theresa may was the second female Prime Minister but as far as im concerned, that was her only achievement. So, henry, to sum up, if we could, she was great at the local level. But do you think perhaps it was an overreach too far to put her in charge of blighty . Charge of blighty . Absolutely. Its often the case when you get a leader at the National Level who is a compromise candidate that compromise candidate for that position and doesnt have what its whats needed at the strategic grasp at that level. Even though theyre good people, theyre intentioned and theyre well intentioned and theyre well intentioned and theyre constituency mps. Theyre great constituency mps. I can think of another one, damian green down in ashford, whos whos dragged the party to the left hes keeping it the left and hes keeping it there. But he disastrously there. But he and disastrously but again hes an effective constituency mp. Constituency mp. Okay. Henry boulton thanks for your company. Thanks for your opinions. I suspect you wont be being thanked for getting a Christmas Card from theresa may. Henry bolton always a pleasure to have you on the show.

The individual, codenamed stakeknife, was working covertly for the british army inside the iras internal Security Unit. Operation kenova examined more than 100 murders and abductions linked to that unit , and and abductions linked to that unit, and found strong and abductions linked to that unit , and found strong evidence unit, and found strong evidence of very serious and wholly unjustifiable criminality. Met unjustifiable criminality. Met Police Firearms officer martin blake has denied the murder of chris kaba after being publicly named today for the first time.

The officer, who was initially identified as nx1, 21, has been released on bail and is due to face trial in october. Lord David Cameron says its incredibly frustrating that israel is not taking steps to allow more aid into gaza. His comments come after the uk announced it will join the us to create a new port on the strip. However, the foreign secretary says ashdod port in israel could be opened immediately so that aid can be delivered while the temporary pier is being constructed and a painting of the former Prime Minister, lord balfour, has been damaged by a group of pro palestinian activists at cambridge university, the historic artwork was sprayed with red paint before being slashed apart.

Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains channel this sunday on free speech nafion this sunday on free speech nation with me. Andrew doyle. Ill be delving into the w path files. Explosive revelations, leaked by whistleblowers that show how the worlds top transgender medical experts put a whole generation at risk. Ill be speaking to a range of guests, including journalist Michael Shellenberger , best Michael Shellenberger, best selling author helen joyce, leading physician doctor kerry mendoza, psychotherapist Stella Omalley and many more. Find out about one of the biggest medical scandals of the century in free speech nation this sunday at 7 pm. On. Gb news. Pm. On. Gb news. Welcome back. 538. Were on the final furlong. Youre watching or listening to Martin Daubney on gb news. Now in a few minutes, ill have a great story about the latest charge by Sadiq Khan London mayor ripping off motorists. But before that , ive motorists. But before that, ive got some emails on the topic of the day. And of course that is theresa may stepping down at the next election. This is the corker from richard. Richard says this i never thought anyone could be as bad as gordon brown, who was truly, truly awful. But theresa may was she was worse. As nigel farage said , the worst as nigel farage said, the worst Prime Minister. But she is now somehow being surpassed easily by the current occupier of number 10. Richard doesnt like anybody by the sounds of it, but fair play. Youre getting stuck in there, my old son phil says this she was pro remain and hopelessly out of her depth. But apart from that, phils a big fan. Matthew says this i noticed on social media today, mrs. May has had a video made of her highlights in charge. Its only a six minute clip that says it all really well. Matthew what would you like . A sort of two hour marathon . Two hour marathon on . Therell be plenty more to go into there. And glyn says this may has blood on her hands. She was the one that stopped it. Stop and search. Probably because she thought it offended people carrying knives. Its people carrying knives. Its a good point. So dont forget, a lot of people have been saying that. Also, 20,000 coppers were axed by theresa may and are we still paying the price for that to this day . Stop and search, of course, was a very controversial part of policing at the time. It came with a lot of pressure to remove because it offended certain communities, and we saw then a corresponding rise in crime. Its almost as if you remove bobbies from the beat and you stop searching for offensive weapons. You might see more violent crime. Who would have thought it on the same topic, rob says this theresa may as home secretary, as i was just saying, cut the police by 20,000 officers and it has still not recovered and helen adds this theresa may stepping down. Thats the best news of the day for me. Shes another one who ruined the tory party and indeed the country. She was forever bowing down to brussels. And bowing down to brussels. And lets be honest, when she inherited the role as Prime Minister by David Cameron , her minister by David Cameron, her heart was never really in it. She wanted to remain in the European Union despite the fact 71. 4 Million People told her otherwise. Dave adds this. Dont forget she almost lost that snap election. She called in 2017 to Jeremy Corbyn not just because of her position on brexit, but also because of her dementia tax. To also because of her dementia tax. To take old peoples lifetime savings away from them, to pay for care and her disastrous backing of foxhunting. Who on earth thought that was a good idea . Linda adds this i a good idea . Linda adds this i was quite young when theresa may became Prime Minister, and the work that shes done is a large reason why im so interested in politics. Future mps could take a leaf out of her book because she acted with dignity and grit. She acted with dignity and grit. And ive had ive had literally 2000 comments on our social media pages. Lets read a few of those out now on the topic of issue. The worst Prime Minister issue. The worst Prime Minister eveh issue. The worst Prime Minister ever. It says this. Albee says ever. It says this. Albee says that surely is liz truss crown. Dont take that away from her like that. Martin callum says this. You know what i honestly dont think she was the worst Prime Minister because the bar is set incredibly low. Now, lets move on. Theres more bad news for motorists today. Drivers will have to pay a toll to use the blackwall tunnel in east london. The mayor of london sadiq khan, of course, says this new charge should not come as a surprise for motorists, indicating car drivers could be charged up to £4. Its actually more than that per crossing to use the tunnel with lorries and vans costing considerably more now lets have a listen. From a commuter who regularly uses that tunnel. So starting from next year, sadiq khan is going to be charging for the blackwall and new silvertown tunnel by the time its introduced, the price is going to be around £5. 25 for one crossing, so over £10 for a return trip. I mean, that bridge has been free for 127 years. It said around 100,000 people use the blackwall tunnel per day, and lets just say half of them. So around 50,000 got a return crossing every single day. That would make the government £500,000 per day for something that was free for 127 years. Well, that was harry morgan venting his frustration on social media earlier, and im delighted to say that harry joins us now on the show. Harry, thank you so much for joining us. Were the peoples channel. When you making that when i saw you making that eloquent point about this unfair tax, i said, lets this tax, i said, lets get this fella on the channel. And here you are. Explain if you can, to the punters watching gb news now why this is so unfair. Another tax on motorists and in particular, you make a very good point about how this can hammer working class people with white vans. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Youre looking at about £3 for motorbike, which if youre looking at the Dartford Crossing is free currently for them, youre looking at £4 for cars and £8. 50 per with vans as well per crossing , but if this is to per crossing, but if this is to go with inflation youre looking at about £5. 25 per crossing for at about £5. 25 per crossing for a car, and im a Small Business owner currently as well. And, we use the blackwall tunnel several, several times a week. And, its sort of bad enough having to pay ulez your congestion charge zone fees, so with this new tax, its youre looking about £45 per day in charges , £45 a day just to get charges, £45 a day just to get through that tunnel if youre on ulez as well, if youve got a non compliant vehicle, a lot of white vans. I know that because a lot of my mates are builders, decorators, tradesmen, they dont have compliant vans. £45, harry, just to get about before he put petrol in. Before you insure your vehicle, before you even earn a pound note and theres no way around that tunnel, is there, because, well, there is, but have to go there is, but you have to go plumb around, mate. Plumb in miles around, mate. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And, its getting to the point where if or its not a matter of if its or when this new charge gets introduced , this new charge gets introduced, this is something were going to have to put on to our customers. And especially in a of living especially in a cost of living crisis. The last thing crisis. This is the last thing that we want to really be doing to customers. Know , and to our customers. You know, and harry, a lot of people watching this well, know, this going, well, you know, its just london. N just london. I care about why should i care about london . Dont you think, london . But dont you think, harry, with ulez harry, weve seen with ulez a lot of these ideas, these bad ideas, low traffic ideas, these low traffic neighbourhoods, 20 mile an hour zones, these ideas start in london and they spread nationwide. They do. And, i mean, you see people like the blade runners as well. Theyve obviously caused quite a of disruption quite a bit of disruption with what and yeah, what theyre doing. And yeah, its not just london. I think in birmingham youve the birmingham youve got the clean air zone i think air zone as well. I think theres down bristol. But theres one down in bristol. But yeah, it just feels like yet another tax on the driver. But, another tax on the driver. But, but yeah. And £45 a day, therell be no opfion and £45 a day, therell be no option for tradesmen. Theyre not charities are they. Theyll have to pass that cost on to consumers. The net result is people having their jobs done, people having their jobs done, people having their stuff delivered to them all of these pnces delivered to them all of these prices get passed on to the consumer during a cost of living crisis. The net result, as we all get net poorer. All get net poorer. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, if you take even builders, white van drivers, uber drivers Say Something like that, theyre, its a massive charge for them per day. That could be sort of half of their day earnings potentially, you know, and, yeah, just feels like yet yeah, it just feels like yet another tax and this, starting to up. To stack up. Well, harry morgan, car Security Consultant , thank you Security Consultant, thank you so much for sending that video into us. Were the peoples channel. And if anybodys watching out there and youre a bloke like harry whos community minded, something in your community your cage. Community has rattled your cage. Got your goats . Please send it in. We want to hear from you. We want to be your voice. We want to hold those in power to account. Harry morgan, top man on island. Thank you very on the island. Thank you very much and have a great weekend. Now about to bring you footage of those pro Palestine Protesters attacking a painting of a Legendary British Prime Minister who died more than 90 years ago. Just how low will years ago. Just how low will these people go on Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel join me. Camilla tominey every sunday at 9. 30. When ill be interviewing the key players in british politics and taking them to task this report. Them to task in this report. Basically says that hes not fit to trial with an upcoming to stand trial with an upcoming election looming over westminster, now the for westminster, now is the time for clear, honest answers. I agree, and thats precisely what ill get. Is he indecisive . Incompetent thats the Camilla Tominey show at 930 every sunday on gb news, the peoples channel on gb news, the peoples channel, britains election. Channel. Welcome back. Its 550 now, as ive been discussing throughout the show, as we went out today, a video has broken on social media and its this its a painting of a former Prime Minister, lord balfour jr, and minister, lord balfourjr, and its been damaged. In fact, its been desecrated. Its been been desecrated. Its been destroyed by a group of pro palestinian activists today at cambridge university. Look at them. There theyre slashing it up. Theyre slashing this this, painting beyond repair. Its spray painted first. Its sprayed with red paint before being slashed. Now, the governments advisor on Political Violence and disruption has been forced to speak out on this, describing it as outrageous and senseless. Now the Palestine Action group claims that this piece symbolised , in their words, the symbolised, in their words, the bloodshed of the Palestinian People. Since the Balfour Declaration in 1917. Now, just to explain what that is, the Prime Minister of great britain, then lord balfour, was a part of then lord balfour, was a part of the Balfour Declaration , which the Balfour Declaration, which recognised officially in british law the creation of the jewish homeland in 1917, effectively giving legal credence to a jewish homeland. That was in jewish homeland. That was in 1917. Its now 2024. This is basically what Just Stop Oil did. Except taking it to the next level. My point to you is this does that make you sympathise with the pro palestine mob, or does it make you see them for what they are a bunch of entitled, aggressive, cultural vandals who dont care a jot about british values. In fact, they want to values. In fact, they want to trample on them. They want to trample on them. They want to trample on them from within, desecrate and destroy them for their own cause. Now were going to move on quickly to this story. Meghan markle has called for better representation of mothers in hollywood in a powerful statement , the duchess powerful statement, the duchess of sussex has joined forces with the group named moms first and the group named moms first and the Geena Davis Institute on gender in media for a new study about the representation of mothers in entertainment, and the duchess said in a statement. The duchess said in a statement. This report about the portrayal of mothers in entertainment highlights the gaps that we need. Yeah, yadda yadda yadda. Lets now speak to Showbiz Reporter Stephanie Takyi steph , reporter Stephanie Takyi steph, welcome to the show. Basically, steph, shes saying there are too many white people in television. Shes looking for racism. Racism. Once again, she is martin. Im not surprised by this at all. You know, meghan considers herself a feminist, and i think this is the latest woke thing to tickle her fancy. I know hollywood has many battles when it comes to women and equality , it comes to women and equality, but moms representation is not one that theyve really thought of. The survey, if im honest, martin, like im all for womens rights. Itsjust martin, like im all for womens rights. Its just a bit ridiculous. You know, theyre ridiculous. You know, theyre saying its not a fair representation of women in america. Theyre saying most of america. Theyre saying most of the were portrayed to the women that were portrayed to be attractive. Some of be mums were attractive. Some of them not queer, some them were not queer, some of them were not queer, some of them underweight, some of them were underweight, some of them were underweight, some of them were underweight, some of them were not overweight. And its forcing hollywood to its just forcing hollywood to take boxes again. You know, shows should have the creativity they want to use. The characters they want to use. The characters they want to express a storyline. And the reason why im not surprised about this, martin, is because we know that meghan netflix, theyve got meghan and netflix, theyve got loads of shows out in the loads of shows coming out in the future, it clearly were future, so it clearly were going to seeing lot of mums going to be seeing a lot of mums that featured in that will be featured in meghans , which kind meghans production, which kind of where shes of reflects where shes at in her own life a mother of two. Her own life as a mother of two. Okay, well steph, its a short, short blast to the end of the show. So thank you very much for joining us. Always forjoining us. Always a pleasure.
