Reid. Oh, and, what is going on in our Funeral Homes . If someone elses nan in your own get ready britain. Here we go britain. Here we go. Is the head of the church of england promoting islam. England promoting islam. Next . Good evening. Its 9 01. Im sophia wenzler and the gb news room. Your top story this hour. Diane abbott, room. Your top story this hour. Diane abbott , the mp at the diane abbott, the mp at the centre of a growing racism row, has accused the speaker of the commons of not serving democracy after she wasnt called to speak in parliament. Its after the conservatives biggest donor, frank hester, allegedly said that former labour mp made that the former labour mp made him want to hate all black women and that she should be shot. Mr hester says hes deeply sorry for the remarks at Prime Ministers questions today , sir ministers questions today, sir keir starmer confronted rishi sunak the remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak returnie remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mremarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hesters ressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hesters £10. Ing him to return mr hesters £10 million donation. The Prime Minister acknowledged Frank Hesters comments were wrong and racist, but declined to say his donations would be returned, instead calling out what he said were double standards in the labour im absolutely not labour party. Im absolutely not going to take any lectures from somebody , from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody who chose to represent an anti semitic terrorist group, hizb ut tahrir , who chose to hizb ut tahrir, who chose to serve a leader who led anti semitism run rife in this labour party. Labour party. Those are his actions. Those are his values. And thats how he should be judged. The Prime Minister speaking there now, Andy Macdonald has had the labour whip restored after he was cleared of breaking party rules by using a controversial slogan at a pro palestine rally. The mp for middlesbrough was suspended in october after he used the phrase from the river to the sea during a speech at a pro palestine event. The words refer to the land between the river jordan land between the riverjordan and the mediterranean, which many find offensive because it appears to refer to all of israel. A labour spokesperson said mr macdonald had been reminded elected reminded that elected representatives must be mindful of how their words are interpreted , and migrants whove interpreted, and migrants whove been refused asylum to britain could be offered thousands of pounds to move to rwanda. The pounds to move to rwanda. The voluntary scheme would be separate to the safety of rwanda bill, which is facing delays due to a series of amendments. It would extend returns would extend current returns policies, some policies, which sees some migrants offered £3,000 to return to their country of origin , and tiktok could be origin, and tiktok could be bannedin origin, and tiktok could be banned in the us unless the apps chinese owners sell its american operation. The house of american operation. The house of representatives voted to pass a bill that would require the social Media Company to be sold or blocked with an overwhelming majority. The bill still needs to pass the senate to become law here in the uk. Tiktok hasnt been banned before, but it was blocked from the government devices in 2023 over data privacy concerns.

Patrick. It appears the archbishop of canterbury is doing more to promote islam than christianity. Promote islam than christianity. Justin welby stands accused of naively standing by while a fake Asylum Seeker Conveyor Belt of muslim men uses the church of england as a back door into britain, claims he strongly denies. Then today we got this as the government desperately tries to clamp down on extremism in britain , which is in britain, which is overwhelmingly islamist. Welby signs a joint letter with the archbishop of york saying the new definition being proposed not only inadvertently threatens freedom of speech, but also the right to worship and peaceful protest things that have been hard won and form the fabric of a civilised society. Crucially, it risks disproportionately targeting muslim communities who are already experiencing rising levels of hate and abuse. Now, hate and abuse obviously is bad. All right , hate and abuse obviously is bad. All right, but could a new definition of extremism that disproportionately targets muslim communities possibly be because there is a disproportionate amount of extremism in certain hard line muslim communities . Look, its tough for welby, his definition of extremism and islamist terror is obviously very, very loose in nigeria , the jihadis have nigeria, the jihadis have slaughtered reportedly 62,000 christians since the year 2000. 8000 were murdered in 2023 alone by groups like boko haram , by groups like boko haram, Islamic State of west Africa Province and fulani militias. These are card carrying jihadi nutters. How did welby described nutters. How did welby described them . Oh, i, like many others around the world, im shocked and saddened by events in nigeria over the past few days. I join calls for the Immediate Release of the hundreds of school children, some as young as seven, kidnapped by gangs. Yeah. Gangs of what . Archbishop . Why cant you say it . The Jewish Chronicle reported that mr welby ianed chronicle reported that mr welby invited some alleged hardline islamists over for tea and cake. Islamists over for tea and cake. Mohammad ali shomali, who met justin welby, spent five years as the uk representative of the iranian Supreme Leader in his role as the head of the Islamic Centre of england, the London Mosque that was placed under investigation the Charity Investigation by the Charity Commission accused of promoting extremism, deny. Extremism, claims they deny. Also on the guest list was mohammed kozbar, a leader of the Muslim Council of britain, who praised the founder of the Hamas Terror Group as a holy warrior. I will be posted a gushing message after the event , saying message after the event, saying it was a pleasure to welcome friends, adding that hed enjoyed the honest sharing of different perspectives. Different perspectives. Interesting choice of friends for an archbishop of the christian faith, isnt it . In light of the latest allegations of fake Asylum Seeker baptisms for young muslim men, gb news has obtained leaked footage of the archbishop actually conducting one of these Asylum Seeker ceremonies himself. Greetings to muslims. At the start of the month of ramadan. I start of the month of ramadan. I wish you peace and joy as you begin this extraordinary and special time of prayer , fasting special time of prayer, fasting and spiritual reflection. Thank you for the huge contribution that muslims across our nation make to our society. Make to our society. Yeah. All right. Okay, that was a joke. Thats obviously not really well be doing a baptism, is it . Its him wishing everybody a happy ramadan. This is all from last few days. Is all from the last few days. So the question stands, i think, is the archbishop of canterbury doing more to promote islam than christianity . Lets get the christianity . Lets get the thoughts of my panel editor at large at the mail on sunday. Charlotte griffiths. Weve got businessman and activist adam brooks and of course, the incredibly successful author rebecca reid. Adam, ill start with you. Do you think that welby is doing more to promote islam . Certainly in the last few days anyway, arguably, than the christian faith, yeah. Its just a little bit as you said, disproportionate to say what was happening in nigeria. And look, weve got people calling for jihad on the streets of london. Weve got jewish schools with bomb threats, multiple schools. Bomb threats, multiple schools. Weve had jewish businesses attacked where is his time for that . Where are his words to the Jewish Community . I just find it very odd for me. He he really is a remainer lefty activist. You know, he tried to scupper brexit. He wants to wade in on the immigration. Hes interfering in the politics of this country, but that is part of his job. So i think sometimes theres a misconception that the church of england and that the church of england and that the church of are supposed to be of rome are supposed to be politically or the politically neutral or like the royal family, thats not the royal family, and thats not the case. Always been their case. Its always been their job to on politics. Its to weigh in on politics. Its always been their job to weigh in relevant. In on anything thats relevant. So on sunday and so i was at church on sunday and we prayed for of things, we prayed for lots of things, including in middle including peace in the middle east, including victims of east, including the victims of the bombings and the october 7th bombings and a terror attacks. And also we prayed for people embarking on ramadan. Thats normal. Ive ramadan. Thats normal. Ive done that my whole life. I dont think weve ever had, an that has been so an archbishop that has been so involved like we and involved like this. We have and so outspoken my lifetime in so outspoken in my lifetime in rowan like this. Rowan was just like this. They all were. Are you do you mind ask . Have you been mind if i ask . Have you been engaged the faith throughout . Im an atheist, so you know, im an atheist, so im religious sort, im not religious of any sort, but just find that , welby but i just find that, welby seems to go against the majority feeling the nearly feeling of the country nearly every time immigration, brexit. Its a bit odd. I just dont understand why he released the statement have seen. Ive statement. Have you seen. Ive got of the statement got a picture of the statement here its so lofty. Its here and its so lofty. Its just this a statement from the archbishop of canterbury. And its just nothing really to do with of with him. Its sort of uninvited, i and the uninvited, i think. And the other saying is, other thing he keeps saying is, you know, it could erode a civilised but society civilised society, but society isnt civilised. At least a isnt civilised. At least once a week on saturday. You know, we week on a saturday. You know, we have a civilisation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis a civilisation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. Isation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. People problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. People areilem in this country. People are falling out with each other and rioting protesting. Rioting and protesting. So i think working a think hes kind of working in a different a of different context, a context of a few months ago that doesnt exist anymore. Rebecca, take your yeah. Rebecca, ill take your point you churches, point about, you know, churches, for better phrase, for want of a better phrase, a broad however when do broad church. However when do you there doing okay . You see him there doing okay . Happy ramadan. Fine. Then you see that hes apparently reportedly had some, you know, alleged islamist round for tea and cake. And then hes going on and cake. And then hes going on about, well, this extremism definition which by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso nthh by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso could by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso could alsoe way, about, well, this extremism definialso could also affect could also could also affect conservative christians in a way people who are, you know, pro life or anti abortion would be another way of putting it. People who are, you know, dont believe in gay marriage. I mean, those equally be those are equally could be affected then affected by this. Okay and then you on top of that. Him you are on top of that. See him not describing boko not describing groups like boko haram as islamist. You just wonder, is he is he on wonder, you know, is he is he on a of almost muslim crusade here . No, i dont think so. I think that the idea of the church is that the idea of the church is that its supposed to be opening, open, armed, welcoming that its supposed to be opernon judgmental,. Welcoming that its supposed to be opernon judgmental,. Welinming and non judgmental, and in the same that this is not same way that this is not a version of the church of england that around if that goes around saying, if youre gay, get out. If youve had abortion, out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abortion, out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abo that. Out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abo that increasinglyis is a church that increasingly marries divorcees, that we are currently of the currently in a period of the church is more, more which church which is more, more which is softer, more minded, is softer, more open minded, more open armed. And i think that having tea with somebody who potentially a vile, who is potentially a vile, ghastly might possibly ghastly person might possibly do more change their mind than more to change their mind than shutting them out. Bringing shutting them out. But bringing someone is a better way to someone in is a better way to change the mind than pushing someone out. Thats what this channel jeremy channel does. I mean, Jeremy Corbyn, channel does. I mean, jeremy corby| rather channel does. I mean, jeremy corby|rather fruity characters as some rather fruity characters as friends, and it essentially cost him, him place in the him, cost him his place in the labour party. Theyre not allowed in the lords. Theyre not just fruity people, are they . They are dangerous this dangerous extremists in this country , i think 90 of the country, i think 90 of the terrorist watch list is islamist suspects. Now, more people , suspects. Now, more people, including children, have died through extreme islamist terrorism in the last 50 years than any other sort of terrorism. Now, this is a real problem to our way of life. And this is really serious. Why . I dont understand why hes having people like that for tea and why hes not calling out, using the church to call things like that out, because thats not how the church works. Instance , when pope so, for instance, when pope john shot, tea john paul was shot, he had tea with the person who him. With the person who shot him. Yeah, this about yeah, i get that. This is about opening conversations. The church here to shut church is not here to shut things down. Things open things down. Its things to open things down. Its things to open thirwell, i think i think youre well, i think i think youre i dont understand the church. Judgy, judgy and finger pointing time, pointing thing at the same time, though, hes just though, isnt he . Hes not just being softly, softly, gentle. I think, generally speaking, he welcome he is trying to open welcome everybody and haranguing half the time. You know, this comes fresh off the as of what was off the back as well of what was widely reported yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y asylum about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y Asylum Seeker this alleged fake Asylum Seeker conveyor do you do when but what do you do when someone . Yeah. Someone comes . Yeah. If youre defending himself against should against that, you should be defending himself against that. And we and i just wonder here when we couple with, you know, couple that with, you know, declining people couple that with, you know, declintol people couple that with, you know, declintol on people couple that with, you know, declintol on a people couple that with, you know, declintol on a sunday and going to church on a sunday and declining engagement the declining engagement with the with church of england faith with the church of england faith in increasingly in this country and increasingly disillusioned of disillusioned actual members of clergy, you think, clergy, etc. And you just think, why constant coming why is this guy constant coming out saying stuff about out and saying stuff about another the church another faith . If the church really is, has got such a problem with these , when you problem with these, when you turn people to christianity for, for immigration, why is he not being called out more . Are people scared of him just because hes a religious leader . You know, people are scared of him. I think the one of the really important tenets of the bible is that if somebody comes to you and says, i want to be part of your faith, you welcome them in. P them in. Very the church is and its very the church is being gain. Being used to gain. Do when someone what do you do when someone so you are if somebody comes so if you are if somebody comes to you and ive called the to you and says, ive called the people are slaughtering people that are slaughtering nigerian christian children, islamist, card islamist, i mean, they are card carrying lot. Carrying jihadis this lot. Question marks about i think question marks about this, i think, i think he could have around the street on have done around the street on a saturday. This is members of boko haram. Saturday. This is members of boi yeah, quite possibly. I think there might have been an oversight. To oversight. But i think to suggest and i think probably in terms if he had his time again, he might well amend it. But i think terms of the fake think in terms of the fake conversion, amend conversion, he wouldnt amend it. Wouldnt it. He wouldnt amend it. He wouldnt amend it. Hes now i think hes i think hes now i think hes a complete boor. Hes hes a complete woke boor. Hes hes just really to just he really is. And to be honest, dont him honest, i dont want him lecturing me on. On what . On what . The leader of your faith or immigration to anything he says. Hes not hes not relevant to you. But i dont have other religions trying to tell me what i should. Yes, you do that, do i . They all do. I . They all do. Ive got charlotte on you. Ive got charlotte on you. Ive got charlotte on you. I like him to just be defending our faith a little bit more. You know, those of us who are maybe stick are christians maybe just stick up christianity. Are christians maybe just stick up buchristianity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what anity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what isity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what is it. Are christians maybe just stick up but what is it that we need but what is it that we need to be defended against . I just dont see currently extremism. Whole w thats the whole point of the statement. Think statement. But i dont think thats agree. Statement. But i dont think tha we agree. Statement. But i dont think tha we absolutely all of this we absolutely all of this country to defended country need to be defended against i dont against extremism. But i dont think thats actually against the england. The church of england. I think its well, you could the church of england. I think its the well, you could the church of england. I think its the west, you could the church of england. I think its the west, itsu could the church of england. I think its the west, its not uld the church of england. I think its the west, its not really argue the west, its not really doing enough defend against extremism. Now out extremism. Now the hes now come out against the government trying the government trying to update the definition to try definition of extremism, to try to sure that there are to make sure that there are fewer extremists and unfortunately, of play fewer extremists and unthejnately, of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. Of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. And of play fewer extremists and unthe moment. And this f play fewer extremists and unthe moment. And this f [not at the moment. And this is not just me saying this is prevent and the authorities and this is the authorities and the people whove done the investigations the people whove done the inve thattions the people whove done the inve that its s the people whove done the inve that its overwhelmingly say, that its overwhelmingly islamist. And his response to this it might this is to say it might disproportionately affect the muslim find muslim community. I just find that church of that bizarre. Its the church of england. Him for england. No ones asked him for anything to say for me, its its fair to say for me, its complete virtue signalling. Hes saying what he thinks people want there, and we want to hear out there, and we dont. Is a religious dont. Virtue is a religious word. Dont. Virtue is a religious worhe literally virtue he is literally virtue signalling. That is his job. Right. Okay look, were all right. Okay look, were off so off to another flying start.

Diane abbott was suspended by labour nearly a year ago for writing a tone deaf article that suggested jews do not experience racism. Now, though , i can reveal the hackney though, i can reveal the hackney mp has been begging for the whip back. Will she get it . No nonsense. Former conservative minister Ann Widdecombe gets stuck into that and claims a may general election is on the cards. Thats shortly, but up next in our head to head, sir keir starmer told the commons today that hed cleaned up his party of whack jobs and extremists. Extremists. Mr speaker, the difference is hes his party. Hes scared of his party. Ive changed party. Changed my party. Hours later, though, he returned the whip to suspended mp andy mcdonnell, who was rapped for his rivers to the sea speech just days after october the 7th terror attacks. Chairman of the National Jewish assembly gary mond grapples with a former labour mp, ivor caplin, on this. Its not to be missed and its next. Welcome back. Loads on the show tonight. Coming up, welcome back. Loads on the show tonight. Coming up , former tory tonight. Coming up, former tory minister Ann Widdecombe weighs in on the conservatives racist donor row. And frankly, one brewing in the labour party as well. But time now for our head to head. All right, so the number of labour mps suspended for various misdemeanours has been racking up steadily in recent months, not least middlesbrough mp Andy Mcdonald , middlesbrough mp Andy Mcdonald, who was punished for his rallying cry shortly after the october seventh terrorist attack in israel. In israel. Until all people, israelis and palestinian between the river and the sea can live in peaceful, liberty, free, free palestine. Palestine. But earlier today, labour announced it had restored the whip to Andy Mcdonald after a full investigation. A party full investigation. A Party Spokesman said the investigation concluded that he had not engagedin concluded that he had not engaged in conduct that was against the partys rulebook, but reminded him of the importance of elected representatives being mindful not only of what they say in public, but how their words may be interpreted, especially in reference controversial or reference to controversial or emotive issues. The chief whip met with andy following the outcome of the investigation, and received assurances that he understands be understands the need to be mindful about his future conduct. Well is this what sir keir starmer meant in the commons today , when he said that commons today, when he said that he cleaned his party up of extremists . Extremists . Shadow foreign secretary comparing conservatives to nazis, mr speaker, and the man that he wanted to make chancellor, the man that he wanted to make chancellor talking about lynching a female minister. Mr speaker, the difference is hes scared of his party. Ive changed my party. Youve changed it. Diane abbott remains suspended after saying that jews do not experience racism , while experience racism, while starmers old pal Jeremy Corbyn has also been banished alongside seven other labour mps, including kate osamor, who compared the gaza conflict to the holocaust. Tonight im asking , has the holocaust. Tonight im asking, has the war in gaza demonstrated starmers weak leadership . Im debating this leadership . Im debating this now. Is former labour mp ivor capun now. Is former labour mp ivor caplin and chairman of the National Jewish assembly, gary eamonn. Gary, ill start with eamonn. Gary, ill start with you letting Andy Mcdonald back into the party. Is this just weak leadership . Weak leadership . I think it sets a very bad precedent. We have somebody who called from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free. Thatis sea. Palestine will be free. That is a blatant anti semitic slogan because it essentially means the destruction of the state of israel and either the murder or the removal of all jews currently living there. It should not be tolerated. And should not be tolerated. And furthermore, he also spoke in that clip about peaceful liberty, or all People Living in peaceful liberty. Does he not realise that to get peaceful liberty in the area requires the eradication of hamas and that is what israel is doing at the moment, and it should be supported in continuing to do that either keir starmer didnt want anyone to notice this. The labour party didnt want anyone to notice this. People. Eagle saw on the eagle i just saw on the parliamentary website that it looked he got the whip looked like he got the whip back, went to them back, and then we went to them and said , oh, well and then they said, oh, well have to check. And then a couple of hours later they gave us that statement there. Why was he trying sneak it the trying to sneak it under the radar he think it was radar if he didnt think it was a dodgy . Im not sure. A bit dodgy . Im not sure. Patrick. He was trying to sneak it under the radar any more so everything more so than Everything Else that westminster. That goes on in westminster. Lots as weve lots of things go on, as weve discussed before, and thats just how it is sometimes. Its a wednesday, thursday, friday. It happens at westminster. Just to say , just to say a bit about say, just to say a bit about what gary just said. You know, l, what gary just said. You know, i, i didnt think that was a very clever comment that , that very clever comment that, that Andy Mcdonald made. I could understand entirely why he was suspended. That suspension is been for five months. I can kind of have some sympathy with people wanting to get back into the party like diane abbott does, and i and in that case, would you like diane abbott back in . In . Sorry , in . Sorry, would you let diane abbott back in, i think i would let diane abbott back in at the moment. I think i think i think a changed labour party then. Is it either. Is it either. Well, yes, it is, because there are there are literally thousands of people who are no longer in the labour party, but who were in the labour party in previous times , and those people previous times, and those people have been expelled or taken out. I know diane abbott, i owned area, in, in the south that weve had to suspend and get out of the party lots and lots of people. So it has been a change. The change isnt just about, you know, 190 mps. All right. Ill go over to gary there. So weve got there someone who would be perfectly happy to allow diane abbott back in. He thinks Andy Mcdonald should be allowed back in. Gary, your view on that as the chairman of the National Jewish Assembly Labour party, assembly change labour party, im them im completely opposed to them coming back in. You see, Labour Party Anti semitism just anti semitism is not just a matter for people in the labour party. Everyone in the country, every jew in the country is going to worried about it, going to be worried about it, irrespective how they vote irrespective of how they vote at a general election, it a general election, because it is Major Political and is a Major Political party and it tolerate it should not tolerate anti semitism and to let diane abbott, who said that jews do not experience racism back into the party, is a tremendously retrograde step and will be condemned everywhere and can i say one more thing on this, that at the moment labour have got about 200 members of parliament. If do as well in the if they do as well in the election as the opinion polls say to do , theyre say theyre going to do, theyre probably to have around say theyre going to do, theyre prob members to have around say theyre going to do, theyre prob members of have around say theyre going to do, theyre prob members of parliament. D 400 members of parliament. Thats 200 members of thats an extra 200 members of parliament about know parliament about whom we know very little in the labour party will, of course say, well, theyve been vetted, but how have vetted . Theyre have they been vetted . Theyre very and these are very quiet about. And these are 200 unknown people, some of whom might corbynistas or w0 ise. Woise. Worse. Okay, ivor, i mean , charlie okay, ivor, i mean, Charlie Rowley wasnt particularly well vetted, was he . And that snuck through the net. And then were in a situation now where, lo and behold, mcdonald let behold, Andy Mcdonald will let him dont think him back in. I dont think thats anything to do as it thats got anything to do as it ivor, the pressure from the ivor, with the pressure from the left the galloway left and the George Galloway issue, Andy Mcdonald was, i think , elected some time ago. Think, elected some time ago. But what i would say and i can reassure gary here, i do a lot of interviewing of candidates , particularly for candidates, particularly for parliamentary seats, and i and i have to tell you, we are vigorous in the Due Diligence that we do with. Did you interview tahir ali . Weve been looking in in absolute about what we want people to be able to do. So i am really confident that for those who might win in in a general election, that they will be good and solid candidates, as weve seen in previous times when labour has been successful, what do you make of that , gary . What do you make of that, gary . I think that in other political parties, the instances of anti semitism among members of anti semitism among members of parliament or candidates is incidental and isolated. I fear incidental and isolated. I fear that in the labour party, looking at so many past examples as its endemic, you had a situation recently where 56 labour members of parliament, its just not ceasefire. Its just not ill let you come back on it. Dont worry. Ill let you come back on it. Dont worry. Ill let you come back on it. Just stop. Come back on it. Just stop. Either stop. Ill let him finish and then ill you come back and then ill let you come back on all right . Yeah. On it. All right . Yeah. Weve had members of had 56 labour members of Parliament Call for a ceasefire, which essentially give which essentially would give victory had members weve had labour members of parliament or parliament only 18 months or so ago, putting an ago, actually putting down an early motion that early day motion saying that israel palestinian israel massacres palestinian journalists when we still have Jeremy Corbyn in the labour party. There is still a tremendous amount of anti semitic activity within laboun anti semitic activity within labour, in other parties , its labour, in other parties, its isolated. In labour, its endemic. All right, look, there is quite a bit to come back on there. Yeah. Go on. Well firstly Jeremy Corbyn isnt in the labour party anymore and its been clear that he wont be standing the he wont be standing for the labour party , in any labour party, in any circumstance. That that just circumstance. So that that just isnt true. What you just said, the second thing is that. But for me, its all about the, the you can talk about those people, you, you know, whove got a view. And ive said constantly to people, you dont need to express these views out in the open. You can have a view, you can talk to the chief whip about it. Theres lots of things you can do, but no. All right. Hang on a minute. What do you mean . They. They can have these views, but dont express them out in open. Express them out in the open. Views. Like views . Like views. Like what views . Like i like i mentioned ali like like i mentioned zaheer ali earlier. Azhar ali . Earlier. What about azhar ali . You what about those of you know what about those of you. So you know what about those of you. So he should have he should have had those views it was have had those views that it was essentially conspiracy, have had those views that it was ess< october, conspiracy, have had those views that it was ess< october, seven nspiracy, have had those views that it was ess are different views there are different views that and they that people can have and they can other members of the can talk to other members of the party. This is what im really saying is that in the main, if you go out in london on a saturday, as ive done a few times to watch what is going on in the demonstrations, i see people there who are nothing to do with the labour party and out. They are telling us how hamas should have this. Hamas should have that. Did you vet azhar ali right . Did you vet azhar ali right . Did you vet azhar ali right . Did did you did you have anything to do with the vetting process for azhar ali . No, not at all. Because i know you said earlier that, you know, youre across from the vetting stuff, so i do, i do that, but mainly south east, right. Okay. All right. This is me. All right. This is me. What amazes me is this seems to let in jew hatred as a, as a conceivable view that labour mps can have this worries me immensely. No, i actually wish sir keir starmer all the best of luck in ridding his party of anti semitism. Its in anti semitism. Its in everyones interest. But when you have jew hatred as a as an acceptable view, that is not on all right. Thats not what i said ehhen youre making it up as you go along. What hes getting along. I think what hes getting i like wherever i think you like wherever you like, you are just like, but that you are just making it up as you go along. I what hes coming back i think what hes coming back to is idea that to either is the idea that i think theres understanding. Think theres my understanding. All all right. All right. Gary. All right. Gary, understanding gary, look, my understanding ive final word gary, look, my understanding iv all right. Okay. Both both of you, thank you very, very much. You, thank you very, very much. All right. Look, who do you agree with this labour reinstates whip to andy reinstates the whip to Andy Macdonald suspended macdonald after he was suspended for river for proclaiming from the river to is this evidence of to the sea. Is this evidence of weak leadership starmer . Weak leadership from starmer . Sam more evidence that sam says its more evidence that the labour party hasnt changed. Antisemitism is still a problem and starmer is a liar if he says its not, john says this is weak leadership. It certainly wont leadership. It certainly wont help welcome help jewish people feel welcome to party. And to the labour party. And stephen, also on twitter, says both tories and labour both the tories and labour are two of same backside. Two cheeks of the same backside. Yet has been coining yet galloway has been coining this phrase. I am not, by the way, stephen alluding you to George Galloway, but there we go. A problem go. The tories have a problem with labour with islamophobia. Labour have a problem anti semitism. Problem with anti semitism. Tolerance and civility are the real , right . Look, 92 real victims, right . Look, 92 of you think this weak of you think this is weak leadership from starmer. Of leadership from starmer. 8 of you not coming up yet. You say its not coming up yet. Another royal rumble is brewing as harry and meghan tonight dramatically deny that they stuck the boot into the princess of wales and her photoshop fail in the us press. I will speak to former bbc royal correspondent michael cole shortly, but next one mans Freedom Fighter is another mans terrorist, right . Another mans terrorist, right . That was labour donor and green fanatic dale vince giving hamas a free pass last year. So should starmer return millions of pounds that hes given in labour donations to just like keir is demanding the tories do over their own donor race row . And are we actually seriously going to get a may welcome back. Its Patrick Christys tonight were on gb news. And coming up are harry and meghan. Massive hypocrites. Okay. They have denied some allegations recently, but do we believe them . But first, rishi sunakis believe them . But first, rishi sunak is tonight facing increasing pressure to hand back Frank Hesters £10 million donation after the businessman made apparently racist comments about diane abbott with the scottish tories now demanding the Prime Minister carefully reviews the donation grief. The row dominated pmqs today. Starmer joined row dominated pmqs today. Starmerjoined in on the calls starmer joined in on the calls to hand back the cash. To hand back the cash. How low would he have to sink . What racist, woman hating threat of violence would he have to make before the Prime Minister plucked up the courage to hand back the £10 million thatis to hand back the £10 million that is taken from him . The gentleman apologised genuinely for his comments and that remorse should be accepted. But while starmer was busy giving sunak a hard time, its emerged that labour donor dale vince has given Starmers Party more than £2 million reportedly made this outrageous claim last yeah terrorist attack from hamas palestine defending itself. I think one mans Freedom Fighter is another mans terrorist, right . Thats how it works. Look whats happening in palestine. Millions of People Living open prison, living in an open prison, freedom hamas. Freedom fighters, hamas. Im joined now by the former conservative minister Ann Widdecombe and, well, who should hand back the donation first, then starmer or sunak. Neither of them is complete nonsense unless the money itself is corrupt , then theres no is corrupt, then theres no reason for them to hand it back. But what i really have yet to do, and we all saw the snippet of starmer saying it, was he talked about threats of violence, which presumably, was when, that diane when, the donor said, that diane abbott should be shot now. Keir starmer is of a generation, you know very well that that is an expression which our entire generation has used and is, when somebody had done something stupid. And i can understand if a 20 year old said, oh , thats a 20 year old said, oh, thats a terrible thing to say. But actually it was, in common parlance and it means nothing. Its just a metaphor for saying how stupid she is. Thats all it is , and you dont think, then, is, and you dont think, then, that either of them should hand that either of them should hand that that money back . And one apparently is called hamas, a Freedom Fighter organisation. Freedom fighter organisation. And the other one, you know, just stand accused of, well , just stand accused of, well, racist remarks. I mean, you dont its, you know, dont think its, you know, theres a case there to be. Well, we dont want this dirty money. Well, theres nothing dirty about the money unless , as about the money unless, as i say, it was corruptly obtained, one has apologised, the other has not. Which, enough, and i just think this is yet another artificial fuss. I mean, weve got the nhs and chaos. Weve got dreadful education in this country. Our defences are worn down to the bone and nobody is doing anything about it. Down to the bone and nobody is doing anything about it. And we doing anything about it. And we want to worry about somebody making rude remarks about somebody else. Yeah. No, youre right. I think its a good, useful distraction technique, isnt it really, to be talking about that a lot of the time and not actually talking about the fact that we havent another that we havent given another penny budget and penny to our defence budget and our not getting on its our nhs is not getting on its knees, and that we havent got enough places for kids to go to school and not school and were not doing anything and i do anything about that. And i do want you keir want to talk to you about keir starmer Guardian Starmer again, because guardian journalist has the journalist owen jones has the details of a conversation between labour leader and between the labour leader and diane abbott, who twice today asked starmer to give her the labour whip back. But it appears he declined to do so. Indeed, abbott herself has confirmed that this discussion did take place and should diane abbott get the labour whip back . Well look, thats honestly a matter for the labour party. For the labour party. She did Say Something appalling. I mean, this time i dont think you can dismiss it as just some sort of metaphor. I mean , she did say that that jews mean, she did say that that jews hadnt mean, she did say that that jews hadnt suffered racism and that is appalling. And given the terrible trouble that the labour party has at the moment with anti semitism , it might send out anti semitism, it might send out all the wrong signals if he did restore the whip. But it is a matter for the labour party , matter for the labour party, and, you know, its for starmer to take his decision and then if hes going to take it, stand by it, whatever it may be, i mean, she is, by the sounds of it, essentially begging for the whip back. She wasnt called in parliament today, which i know has caused a heck of a of has caused a heck of a lot of controversy. Was wondering controversy. I was wondering whether not hoyle whether or not Lindsay Hoyle after, you know, allegedly doing keir massive favour keir starmer a massive favour the the gaza the other week over the gaza vote, hed do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig hed do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour hed do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. Do the tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. But,|e tories the other week over the gaza wbig favour today. But, you� ries a big favour today. But, you know, do think that starmer know, do you think that starmer might though . Hes might cave though . I mean, hes u turned much u turned on pretty much Everything Else. All right. Hes saying labour saying hes a changed labour party. Weve been talking party. Weve just been talking about the that andy about the fact that Andy Mcdonald has managed to worm his about the fact that andy mcd backi has managed to worm his about the fact that andy mcd backi haandanaged to worm his about the fact that andy mcd backi haandanaglabourorm his way back in, and the labour party wanted sweep party wanted, wanted to sweep that carpet, by that under the carpet, by the way. A way. I mean, that was a Remarkable Exchange that we had with earlier with the labour party earlier today. Show going today. People on this show going today. People on this show going to them not giving us to them and them not giving us a yes a no for ages. It being yes or a no for ages. It being on the parliamentary website and then before you know it, its oh yeah, it and now yeah, weve reviewed it and now hes i mean, is this hes back in. I mean, is this a change labour party seriously. And you know, i wonder if it wouldnt change. Wouldnt if its not a change. Change. Labour its not a change. Labour party mean, it really isnt. Party i mean, it really isnt. I mean, you just see from the, mean, you can just see from the, the that there has been the attitude that there has been towards and, you know, the towards gaza, and, you know, the huge pro palestinian , or huge pro palestinian, or pro hamas rather, element in the labour party. So, i dont, labour party. So, i dont, i dont think its a changed labour party. I dont think its worth anybody voting for it who is concerned about anti semitism, now , you know, anti semitism, now, you know, diane abbott has been an mp for several decades for a long record of service. Im sure that starmer will consider that. But at the end of the day, hes got to ask himself, you know , would to ask himself, you know, would anybody labour party anybody in the labour party endorse those remarks that diane abbott made . And if the answer is no , then you know, thats his is no, then you know, thats his i worry i worry that you might find out. The answer is yes, actually. But speaking speaking when she was august 2023, was suspended in august 2023, diane these errors diane abbott said these errors arose in an initial draft being sent. But there is no excuse and i wish to apologise for any anguish racism takes anguish caused. Racism takes many its completely many forms. Its completely undeniable that jewish people have monstrous have suffered its monstrous effects, as have the irish people. Travellers many people. Travellers and many others. , this is others. Now look, this is something im keen to talk to you about. Torrid days for you about. Torrid few days for the liz anderson, the Prime Minister liz anderson, de to reform. Now hes de facto to reform. Now hes embroiled old race embroiled in this old donor race row, isnt on monday night, row, isnt he . On monday night, apparently , he was hauled into. Apparently, he was hauled into. This rishi sunak. He was this is rishi sunak. He was hauled tense private talks hauled into tense private talks with mps from the partys with tory mps from the partys all powerful backbench 1922 committee, who allegedly warned sunak against a may general election. A senior tory source says seven months is a long time in politics. Just imagine if england won the euros and team gb got a load of goals at the olympics. I gb got a load of goals at the olympics. I mean, yeah, gb got a load of goals at the olympics. I mean, yeah, thats olympics. I mean, yeah, thats ridiculous by way. But ridiculous by the way. But i mean on Gareth Southgate mean relying on Gareth Southgate for premiership. I pun for your premiership. I mean pun intended is a ridiculous thing to should there be a may election . And i dont believe there will be a may election. I mean, i say bring it on as soon as possible, but i dont believe there will be one, for the very simple reason that first all, simple reason that first of all, if know going to lose if you know youre going to lose and fails, dont and sunak fails, you dont hand government opposition , government to the opposition, you string it out. Secondly, of course, there is this sort of political micawber ism, and you think, well, if you dont have it till the last minute, something might turn up or even something might turn up or even something will turn up, you know . If theyre relying on know . But if theyre relying on victory euros for victory victory in the euros for victory in general election , and all i in a general election, and all i can say is theyre even, you know , further than i thought know, further than i thought before, in a just completely chaotic spin with no sense at all. Yeah. I mean, the idea that rishi sunak might lose on penalties will be, will be very, very adept. Wouldnt say , yeah, very adept. Wouldnt say, yeah, if i was him as well, i would absolutely. I if i was him as well, i would absolutely. I mean, im not saying he should do this, but i would absolutely wait until january. Youve got to look at it, Prime Minister, from 2022 to 2025, looks better on the 2025, it looks better on the tombstone, than tombstone, frankly, than anything completely anything else. Being completely selfish you very selfish. And thank you very much. Have to leave it much. We will have to leave it there. Former conservative minister ann whittaker. And what a i sit a legend. Now coming up, i sit down former immigration down with former immigration minister Robert Jenrick about soft touch plans to give £3,000 to every migrant failed Asylum Seeker who agrees to go to rwanda. Were now seeing today the fact that the bill thats about to leave parliament isnt good enough, doesnt do the job, wont secure our borders, and thats a great shame. Thats a great shame. Other than that, hes a massive fan of it. But next, harry and meghan tonight dramatically denied that they briefed press that theyd briefed us. Press that theyd never be so stupid to have fallen victim to Kate Middletons photoshop fail. Do we believe them . Do we believe they didnt give kate a kicking in her hours of need . Former bbc royal correspondent michael cole will be here with his expert take. Ask him, should the take. Ill ask him, should the sussexes have well wishes its Patrick Christys tonight on gb news. Coming up, former immigration minister Robert Jenrick rages at plans to pay migrants three grand to leave to rwanda. But first, its time for former bbc royal correspondent michael cole. Harry and Meghan Michael cole. Harry and meghan have broken their silence on the princess kate photo editing scandal, denying that sources inside their camp made outrageous comments comparing meghan and kate a source reported to be close to the sussexes told us publication page six if harry and meghan had ever encountered the same issue , ever encountered the same issue, they would have been annihilated. This isnt a mistake. Meghan would ever make, but the sussexes have insisted through their spokesperson. With through their spokesperson. With respect to page six, that did not come from us. Whom do we believe them . Still no well wishes for princess kate on her recovery from surgery then. Well, michael , your reaction . Well, michael, your reaction . Well, patrick, good evening. There is hope for humanity yet the. Well of human kindness is not quite dry because the duke and duchess of sussex in california have let it be known, through their spokesman that they are not gloating over the present difficulties being experienced by princess of wales because of the faked photo fiasco. The faked photo fiasco. Oh no indeed, they didnt say those words. But as youve just those words. But as youve just pointed out so skilfully , what pointed out so skilfully, what that message didnt contain was any words of goodwill , of any words of goodwill, of comfort, of family feeling or concern for the princess of wales as she recovers from what was quite clearly serious Abdominal Surgery back in january, theyve never issued one single word of comfort to her. And when you consider that after the prince and princess of wales were married in 2011, and living at Kensington Palace , living at Kensington Palace, prince harry was almost a fixture there. He was there every day. The three of them were very friendly , kate, who we were very friendly, kate, who we see there in happier times with her husband, but got on terribly well with harry, and he really. Well, i think he can say he loved her, of course, all that happened when meghan entered the scene, and we all know the sad story that has evolved ever since. But, of course they want to distance themselves from those words which reported because theyre very hurtful and theyre very unkind. And they were. Can we believe them, though . Michael . Michael, seriously , you michael . Michael, seriously, you know, can we believe them . You know, can we believe them . You know, i mean, after everything, its all very well and good saying, didnt come its all very well and good sayin us. Didnt come its all very well and good sayinus. But didnt come its all very well and good sayinus. But i didnt come its all very well and good sayinus. But i mean nt come its all very well and good sayinus. But i mean , t come its all very well and good sayinus. But i mean , yeah,e from us. But i mean, yeah, really . Is that true . I mean, there was all this talk about, oh, anything to oh, we didnt have anything to do omid scobie. Oh, we do with omid scobie. Oh, we didnt anything to do with, didnt have anything to do with, a load of stuff. And it turned out did. Out they did. Im sure that well, im quite sure that schadenfreude , a german word schadenfreude, a german word which is understood universally to enjoying other peoples to mean enjoying other peoples failures or discomfort, is not unknown at montecito. And, of course, the two couples, have been at, daggers drawn for a long, long time now, i suppose it would be less than human if they didnt take some satisfaction in seeing, the princess of wales, who , both of princess of wales, who, both of them have gone out of their way to criticise. And in one book to criticise. And in one book written by their spokesman on earth, amanuensis, omid scobie , earth, amanuensis, omid scobie, accuses quite bluntly, the princess of wales of exhibiting racist comments or racist attitudes towards Meghan Markle, which of course is the most egregious and deadly, top allegation to make because its very, very difficult to disprove. You have to prove a negative. I am not a racist and its very unfair. So you mentioned toxic though, marco. You mentioned toxic there. Right . And you know, everyones got relatives, every familys got relatives, every familys got relatives, every familys got relatives they dont particularly get on with. Okay. You find out that somebody is very unwell and every indication is that somebody is even more unwell than you initially told. And you do not release a statement to say , we wish. Kate statement to say, we wish. Kate well, i think thats disgusting. We do know something. It was we do know something. It was the point i was going to come on to because even in families where there is a falling out, when there is serious trouble, when there is serious trouble, when there is serious trouble, when the backs to the wall, when people are really up against it. Even the worst rows are patched up and people come together and i think it is really quite deplorable that prince harry, who was so close to his brother, and, and to the princess of wales and, you know, i cannot stop thinking about their mother. The late and much missed diane , the princess of wales. Diane, the princess of wales. She would be so upset about this. She thought those boys would always be there for each other and stick up for each other. And to see what has happened, she would be distressed in the extreme were she here. Im so glad. In a way, shes not here to see it because it would break her heart. No , indeed. Look, im sure no, indeed. Look, im sure meghan and harry. Well, well, they have said that they were not in any way linked to that particular source. And that this isnt you briefing isnt them, you know, briefing against, briefing against kate, etc. Does it not say a lot, maybe about the company that you keep, though, that somebody might look at this opportunity and decide in this hour of need to go, oh, this would never have happened to meghan. I mean, im sorry, but taking pr advice from people whove gone from being, you know, darlings of britain to some would say been some people would say have been about popular a in a lift. About as popular as a in a lift. Okay. Its really taking okay. Its not really taking taking the right taking pr advice from the right people. Surely i a recent survey no, i think a recent survey showed that 66 of the population, two thirds of the british population, actively disliked meghan. Strangely enough, in america, the Approval Rating for catherine, princess of wales was 35. That means 35 more people liked her that didnt like her. And Prince William was the most popular man in america , in the whole world in america, in the whole world on 72. All right. So we know whos winning the pr battle. Well, thats what it is. Were just going to have to leave it there. Sorry. Bit squeezed for time, but thank you very much. That is the former bbc royal correspondent michael cole coming just what the cole coming up. Just what the hell on at the whole hell is going on at the whole funeral theres Funeral Directors. Theres been mysteriously cops. Mysteriously probed by cops. Two people have bailed. 35 people have been bailed. 35 bodies deceased have been bodies of the deceased have been removed building. Removed from the building. Whats i sit whats happening . But next i sit down immigration down with former immigration minister jenrick. Minister Robert Jenrick. What were hearing today is something very different, much weaker and is going to undermine the very principle that lies behind the policy. Behind the policy. £3,000 for migrants to go to rwanda, you couldnt make it up and the Civil Service taking our government to court. This is patrick tonight. Were Patrick Christys tonight.

Doesnt do the job, wont secure our borders. And thats a great shame. Thats a great shame. But our woke Civil Service activists threatening to take the government to court and do silent. Or were you silenced . Or were you silenced . Or were you silenced . Harry and meghan refuse to wish kate well. Also, what on earth is going on in britains funeral palace . Have you got someone elses ashes on your mantelpiece . Ive got tomorrows newspaper front pages with editor at large at the mail on sunday. Charlotte griffiths, activist adam brooks and author rebecca reid. Oh and this is weird. Have somebody that was being nasty talking and then, lifestyle wise, they wont be in my hot tub. My hot tub. Get ready britain, here we go are are we being ruled by the deep state . Next. State . Next. Good evening. Its 10 00. State . Next. Good evening. Its10 00. Im sophia wenzler in the gb news room. Your top story this hour. Diane abbott, the mp at the centre of a growing racism row, has accused both the conservatives and labour of failing to deal with racism. Failing to deal with racism. Writing in the independent, the former mp said tory former labour mp said tory reluctance to call out racism and sexism is hardly surprising. But she said she was disappointed in the labour party for being equally reluctant. Its after the conservatives biggest donor, frank hester, allegedly said that the former labour mp made him want to hate all black women and that she should be shot. Mr hester says hes deeply sorry for the remarks at Prime Ministers questions today , sir keir questions today, sir keir starmer confronted rishi sunak over the comments, pressing him to return mr hesters £10 million donation. The Prime Minister acknowledged Frank Hesters comments were wrong and racist, but declined to say if his donations would be returned, instead calling out what he said were double standards in the labour party. Im absolutely not going to take any lectures from somebody from somebody, from somebody who chose to represent an anti semitic terrorist group, hizb ut tahrir, who chose to serve a leader who let anti semitism run rife in this labour party. Those are his actions. Those are his values. And thats how he should be judged. Judged. Rishi sunak speaking there now, Andy Macdonald has had the labour whip restored after he was cleared of breaking party rules by using a controversial slogan at a pro palestine rally. The mp for middlesbrough was suspended in october after he used the phrase from the river to the sea during a speech at a pro palestine event. The words refer to the land between the river jordan refer to the land between the riverjordan and refer to the land between the river jordan and the mediterranean, which many find offensive because it appears to refer to all of israel. A labour refer to all of israel. A labour spokesperson said mr macdonald had that elected had been reminded that elected representatives must be mindful of how their words are interpreted. Migrants whove been refused asylum in britain could be offered thousands of pounds to move to rwanda. The voluntary scheme would be separate to the safety of rwanda bill, which is facing delays due to a series of amendments. It would extend current returns, policies , which sees some policies, which sees some migrants offered £3,000 to return to their country of origin. And the first minister origin. And the first minister of wales has criticised Boris Johnsons leadership during the covid pandemic. Mark drakeford said the former Prime Minister was like the absent manager of a Football Team, and accused him of not taking the pandemic seriously. Speaking at the covid seriously. Speaking at the covid inquiry, he also said mrjohnson was deliberately unclear as to whether some rules only apply to england. The welsh conservatives accused mr drakeford of using the inquiry to attack his political opponents, and called for a whale specific inquiry.

Is britain being run by a woke activist . Deep state Civil Service . Today its emerged that senior Civil Servants and their union are threatening to take government ministers to court if they are made to implement the rwanda plan. The same civil rwanda plan. The same Civil Service that got dominic raab sacked for bullying , despite him sacked for bullying, despite him never shouting or swearing at anyone, even when one idiot nearly accidentally handed gibraltar to the spanish. Gibraltar back to the spanish. The same Civil Service that published a slagging off published a tweet slagging off bofis published a tweet slagging off Boris Johnson and dominic cummings, the same Civil Service that employs a bloke as a diversity chief was out diversity chief who was out campaigning George Galloway campaigning for George Galloway in humanity in rochdale. Thunder or humanity stand for palestine, stand for George Galloway , the same civil George Galloway, the same Civil Service that listed a change of government as its top wish for 2020. For the same Civil Service that granted a palestinian living in israel asylum in britain because it viewed israel as an apartheid state which is completely against government policy. They also keep offering policy. They also keep offering asylum to people from rwanda, hammering home the point that the wokies dont think its safe. And then, shock, horror, its emerged that the government is going to offer failed Asylum Seekers £3,000 to voluntarily go to rwanda. This is clearly to rwanda. This is clearly because the government has realised this is the only way theyll ever be allowed to send someone there. Its a farce. Someone there. Its a farce. Earlier, i spoke to former immigration minister Robert Jenrick. Look, i started by asking him about the cash for rwanda lunacy. Well, this is a tacit admission by the government that the rwanda bill that theyve proposed against the advice of myself and over 60 conservative mps who tried to put forward a better, stronger bill wont work. It is an admission that they cannot remove the Illegal Migrants who are coming here at scale and at pace, as they promised to do, and instead are going to have to resort to paying going to have to resort to paying people to voluntarily leave to rwanda. The rwanda policy is all about creating a strong and sustainable deterrent based on detaining people upon arrival, and then forcibly removing them to rwanda. Im afraid what were hearing today is something very different, much weaker , and is going to much weaker, and is going to undermine the very principle that lies behind the policy. I asked him if this could actually lead to more channel crossings. Well, i think its very naive to assume that someone who has come here to the uk, who we then tell that were very unlikely to be able to remove them back home to their home country for various reasons and offer to pay them to go to rwanda would be likely to accept the people likely to accept that the people who designed this latest who have designed this latest policy, im afraid, dont understand what were up against and what we need to do as a country to secure our borders and to deliver this policy. And its a great shame because the rwanda policy is very important. Its a critical part of our plan to secure our borders. Its one that if we can succeed, will be copied by other countries elsewhere in europe and indeed around the world. This is a backward step, and i hope the government will think twice. I put it to him that the Civil Service was threatening to take ministers to court if they try to actually enact the rwanda plan. Well, look, i believe in parliamentary sovereignty and parliament dictates the law of the land ministers then implement it and make decisions and then the Civil Service have to get on and deliver them. And im confident that the Civil Servants in the home office will agree and will get on and make sure that these flights go ahead. Ive seen the letter from the Civil Service union, and i disagree with it entirely. I hope this doesnt become an issue. What weve all got to do now as a country is deliver for the public. Thats what really matters. And the publics view is very clear. They want us to stop boats. They want to stop the boats. They want us to do whatever it takes. The current incarnation well, the current incarnation of the conservative party is unbelievably wet and weak , with unbelievably wet and weak, with the exception, obviously, of Robert Jenrick and a few others. But there is obviously a layer of servants behind them of Civil Servants behind them who appear to be left leaning activists doing everything they can to block anything they disagree with. But lets get the thoughts of my panel now, its editor at large at the mail on sunday. Charlotte griffiths. Ive also got businessman and activist brooks and highly activist adam brooks and highly successful journalist successful author and journalist rebecca reid. Adam, the idea that the Civil Service union could take ministers to court over being asked to enact a policy is nuts. I think its absolutely unthinkable, again, what robert said there, there they are there to do their job and i believe if to do theirjob and i believe if they refuse to do their job, they refuse to do their job, they should be sacked. And look, im so angry at this illegal immigration situation at the moment. I believe its moment. I believe its a national emergency. And i think a lot of people do that. If they refuse to do their job and stop refuse to do theirjob and stop this, they should be arrested themselves for not doing their job. At end of the day, we job. At the end of the day, we are sending a signal. This paying paying are sending a signal. This paying paying migrants to go elsewhere. We are sending a signal to the rest of the world that we have got this free cash that we have got this free cash that we have got this free cash that we could just give away. Lets remember this £3,000 comes from you. Me, you know, and the taxpayer. This is me, i pay taxes, my next. Even if i couldnt look the taxpayer are paying twice for these people. You know were were housing them for their free housing. Their free, health care and whatever. And now what were offering them our money to rwanda. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly that. Exactly that. Its the package. Its a package holiday, isnt it . Its a disgrace. Laughing stock. This were a laughing stock. This country utter laughing country is an utter laughing stock. Robert jenrick. Look, stock. And Robert Jenrick. Look, i wish sunak would just go and we could him as a temporary we could have him as a temporary prime because at Prime Minister, because at the end the seems to end of the day, he seems to understand the immigration problem. Does. And problem. No one else does. And i think things have got to change. Things that i will say is about Robert Jenrick it. There is. Did him is. We did have him as immigration and we had immigration minister and we had Suella Braverman as home secretary. If both of those secretary. And if both of those two people were saying anything like the stuff theyve come out and said since whilst they were in jobs, and still in those jobs, and we still couldnt get stuff done, that really imply they were really does imply they were shackled were shackled. Shackled. They were shackled. There state. There is a woke deep state. I dont think theres a woke deep state. I think that the Civil Service wont do anything that the echr, and that contravenes the echr, and they do anything thats they wont do anything thats ostensibly illegal. The Civil Service deliver service isnt there to deliver things because them things just because we like them. If you voted to bring back capital punishment, it would pass country. Pass in this country. The majority people this majority of people in this country would bring back hanging. Doesnt the hanging. That doesnt mean the civil should do Civil Service should be like, do you what . Lets do a bit you know what . Lets do a bit of hanging not hanging this month. Thats not their should resign. Theirjob. They should resign. Its not. Then should its not. Then they should resign. They are paid to a job. Are paid to do a job. They dont want to do so. If they dont want to do so. If they dont want to do so. Asked if you are if you were asked if you are being a jobs illegal or being paid for a jobs illegal or that the echr, if it that contravenes the echr, if it contravenes the echr, then yes, it answer. It is the answer. Theyre looking loopholes theyre looking for loopholes and pro this and if they were pro this policy, be looking and if they were pro this polthat be looking and if they were pro this polthat loophole. Be looking and if they were pro this polthat loophole. Theydlooking for that loophole. Theyd overlook sort say, oh overlook it and sort of say, oh no, also carry it out. No, no, but also carry it out. I think is a very the i think this is a very the idea that theres a they for the Civil Service. Its one of the biggest employers this biggest employers in this country. They there biggest employers in this courjob. They there biggest employers in this courjob. A they there biggest employers in this courjob. A but they there biggest employers in this courjob. A but itsiey there biggest employers in this courjob. A but its not. 1ere is a job. Its a but its not. They are a Diverse Group of people with different opinions. But in rwanda but if you believe in the rwanda plan £3,000 thing plan then this £3,000 thing might thing that might be the only thing that makes it work. Well, because because well, no, because because its failed Asylum Seekers okay. So to end up so what theyre going to end up doing is anyone whos been told, i about this is i mean, the joke about this is we oh, youve asylum claims we say, oh, youve asylum claims failed. We still cant deport them anyway. But cheaper. Sure, but its cheaper. Sure, but its cheaper. To stay it could just choose to stay and, you look at the and, you know, you look at the Civil Service, rattled a Civil Service, i rattled off a few examples. The Civil Service itself about itself tweeted about what . A bunch Boris Johnson. Bunch of jokers. Boris johnson. I they got in i mean, they got hacked in fairness, hack. Fairness, that was a hack. Wasnt that wasnt that wasnt some that wasnt an that wasnt an an official. That wasnt an official statement from the Civil Service. W e within the that was someone within the civil absolutely. Civil service. Oh, absolutely. Was it was yes. But it was it was somebody who lost. But somebody who lost. It was. But thats sort of thats not an thats a sort of thats not an official statement from them actually hacked someone actually got hacked by someone who works Civil Service. Which of or not. Which kind of or not. Which kind of or not. Dont know who tweeted we dont know who tweeted that. We dont know who tweeted tha okay, then youve got, okay, and then youve got, you variety different you know, variety of different activists there. Youve got, activists in there. Youve got, you rattled a few you know, i rattled off a few examples. Mean, civil examples. So, i mean, the Civil Service its service is now i mean, its ridiculous that we could have a democratically elected government whos trying to enact policy popular policy that is popular with the country. People the country. And some people in the civil say, Civil Service could just say, no, ill take to court if you no, ill take it to court if you do that. Thats that seems to be yeah, thats that seems to be the reason, tetris just to the whole reason, tetris just to slow down. And im slow things down. And im a really believer that the really big believer that the government to and government has to be more and more as goes by, more nimble as time goes by, because got rolling news because weve got rolling news that on it now. That were on it right now. Everythings at miles everythings moving at 100 miles an Civil Service an hour, and the Civil Service just get with the just cannot get with the program. Slow program. They just slow everything right down and its incredibly democracy. Also would just like to i also would just like to take up this thing about take you up on this thing about the will of the people, because only 42 people that only 42 of people agree that they of it, and they are in favour of it, and only people think it will only 1 of people think it will actually so actually stop the boats. So its not popular. Not that popular. You put it, you about 80 if you put it, you about 80 of people of this country, of the people of this country, if more, want to stop this if not more, want to stop this illegal immigration problem 100. The to do but this isnt the way to do it. France. If youre it. Getting france. If youre going france going to keep giving france money, them money, then you then make them do work out and do their job and work out and break trafficking. Break the human trafficking. Ways have those are the ways you have to at kind of jobs some to look at the kind of jobs some of the kind of jobs that are on offer when it comes to our Border Security in the home office. Asylum office. Youve got the Asylum Seeker resettlement team, okay. Well, who applies for those jobs . People with jobs . You know, people with respect, think respect, adam, i dont think you or would for job that or i would apply for a job that is necessarily resettling is about necessarily resettling asylum would imagine Asylum Seekers. I would imagine it about whether it would be more about whether or them or not we are vetting them properly, with view to getting properly, with a view to getting them planes, to rwanda. And them on planes, to rwanda. And you what kind people . Maybe should a career maybe you should do a Career Change then, if you think thats what needs, you and what it needs, maybe you and adam do some work adam should go and do some work experience. Yeah, wouldnt be against yeah, i wouldnt be against that, yeah, famously to but yeah, famously want to work the time. You work from home all the time. You know, had this big battle know, weve had this big battle to get them actually to go back to get them actually to go back to are actually to the office. They are actually just and i think just kind of slow and i think theyre really, arent they . Mean, listed their top i mean, they listed their top priority for 2024, a priority for 2024, adam, as a change thats change of government. Thats the Civil Service and you Civil Service right. And so, you know, now thats thats worrying. Thats worrying that statements like that come statements like that can come out. Statements like that can come out but that statements like that can come outbut that not statements like that can come out but that not the things but is that not the things theyre deal theyre going to have to deal with not the thing that with in 2024. Not the thing that they the most. Right. They want the most. Right. Theyre saying their priority, they want the most. Right. Thiin re saying their priority, they want the most. Right. Thiin the aying their priority, they want the most. Right. Thiin the things 1eir priority, they want the most. Right. Thiin the things that riority, they want the most. Right. Thiin the things that will ty, as in the things that will affect their work affect and impact their work flow they wished for, is flow is what they wished for, is a government. A change of government. What they double meaning they wish for a double meaning to imagine having to with imagine having to work with these if were these people. If you were a minister, must be just so minister, it must be just so frustrating even put off frustrating and even put you off taking the job. Taking on the job. Well, they rid well, i mean, they got rid of dominic basically dominic raab basically for not shouting everyone, shouting or swearing everyone, despite the fact that someone nearly back to nearly gave gibraltar back to the i mean, i go the spanish. I mean, i go absolutely someone absolutely bonkers if someone did that. Lets remember this but lets remember this country apart. And country is falling apart. And a lot is because of the lot of that is because of the civil doing their Civil Service not doing their jobs mistakes. I think jobs or making mistakes. I think we we cant just blame we cant we cant just blame ministers everything ministers for everything because yes, and yes, they are getting wrong and you lot of things wrong. You know, a lot of things wrong. But service a big but the Civil Service have a big role country role in how this country is being governed. Tories, if the tories, if the tories, if the tories, which not going to happen, by which is not going to happen, by the the tories win the the way, if the tories win the next general election. Yeah. Another 90 majority. Another 80 or 90 seat majority. And it said and on their manifesto it said flights to rwanda take off tomorrow, the day we get elected. Service. Do you think the Civil Service will that . Will block that . Depends if it i do, it depends if it contravenes echr. Contravenes the echr. Why should that matter but why should that matter when whats when it comes to whats democratically elected in this country . Should foreign. Because why should a foreign. Because this because of this is what . Because so many of us ump about. Us have got the ump about. Should this Foreign Court why should this Foreign Court have jurisdiction over us . Have any jurisdiction over us . If, suddenly in if, if i was suddenly in government things like Maternity Leave doors, its an leave and fire doors, its an essential piece of legislation that keeps. We can do that ourselves, but we wont. Trust the people in i dont trust the people in charge to that. Charge to do that. Point on is final point on this is charlotte. Charlotte i was speaking again speaking to a source again today, formerly in the home office, who saying that, you office, who was saying that, you know, the fact that the home office an office now has approved an asylum somebody asylum application for somebody who a palestinian living in who was a palestinian living in israel grounds that israel on the grounds that israel on the grounds that israel has the potential to be an apartheid state. Theyre also approving constantly now, apparently, refugee and asylum applications from applications for people from rwanda. Its like theyre hammering home the point and completely government hammering home the point and complelaly government hammering home the point and complel think. Government hammering home the point and conyeah, hink. Government hammering home the point and conyeah, totally. Government hammering home the point and conyeah, totally. I government hammering home the point and conyeah, totally. I totally rnment yeah, totally. I totally agree in a word. Agree with that. In a word. So the government the government isnt running this country. Service country. Its the Civil Service at the end of the day, then maybe a better maybe we need a better government who can control the Civil Service. Well, a government, well, a labour government, i mean a better government. All right. Well look, okay. All right. Well look, another home another lively start. The home office or Office Spokesman said or spokesperson for the home office, last office, isnt it . In the last yeah office, isnt it . In the last year, 19,000 were removed year, 19,000 people were removed voluntarily from the uk. And this important part to of this is an important part to of our efforts to tackle illegal immigration. We exploring immigration. We are exploring voluntary relocations for those who have no to be here to who have no right to be here to rwanda , who stand ready to rwanda, who stand ready to accept who wish to accept people who wish to rebuild lives and cannot rebuild their lives and cannot stay in the uk. This is in addition our safety of rwanda addition to our safety of rwanda bill treaty, which, bill and treaty, which, when passed, people who passed, will ensure people who come to the uk illegally are removed rwanda. Okay. All removed to rwanda. Okay. All right. Coming up is kate now getting a taste of the Meghan Markle treatment . My panel get fired up on that when tomorrows newspaper front pages land very shortly. But first, what is happening with the whole Funeral Directors that has been raided by police . 35 bodies have been removed. It is a mystery that is gripping the nation. Frankly i think this story should be front and centre of a lot of other news outlets. Ill tell you all about it. Patrick gb news. All right. Welcome back. I have got tomorrows newspaper front pages soon. But first, its a story thats gripping the nation. Two people have been arrested, and since bailed after Police Officers removed 35 bodies and human ashes from legacy independent Funeral Directors in hull, in what police have labelled a truly horrific incident. A heartbroken daughter has told the Sun Newspaper that she fears she kissed an empty coffin , while kissed an empty coffin, while another found out that the ashes of their loved one, which they used to make jewellery, could belong to someone else. Belong to someone else. Humberside police have said their investigation is continuing and no individuals have been charged, but elsewhere earlier this week, a london priest arrived to conduct a funeral service, only to find the mourners were paid actors and the coffin was empty. Funeral directors are actually an unregulated industry in the uk , and the Daily Telegraph has uk, and the Daily Telegraph has reported tonight that 1 in 6 firms are never inspected. In firms are never inspected. In light of that last story there, what is really going on in our funeral parlours . Could you have another poor persons relatives ashes in an urn on your mantelpiece . Just what is it like, though, to be an undertaker in this current day and age . Well, i am joined now very gratefully so by the co owner of brydie white independent services , independent funeral services, bnan independent funeral services, brian white. Brian, thank you very to have you on very much. Great to have you on the show. Evening, patrick. For want phrase, im want of a better phrase, im hoping might be able to lift hoping you might be able to lift the old undertaker the lid on the old undertaker business for a funeral business for us. A funeral director if director business for us, if thats didnt realise thats okay. So i didnt realise it was unregulated. Can you talk me that, please . Well me through that, please . Well well, we opened our funeral home 15 months ago, and it was news to me. The whole industry is unregulated and theres no license required. You can voluntarily become a member of a trade association, but you dont have to do that. So basically , have to do that. So basically, anyone could open a funeral home whenever they like, including you. Patrick if you wanted to. This all goes belly hey, if this all goes belly up , then i what im doing. Up, then i know what im doing. But, on a, you know, but, look on a, you know, on a serious note, its a bit of gallows humour knocking about here. A serious note, here. But on a serious note, i mean, you as a relative of mean, when you as a relative of somebody whos recently deceased, know, you, you deceased, you know, you, you employ yourself employ people like yourself and obviously certain obviously you expect certain standards you just assume standards and you just assume thats it is. Do you thats the way it is. Do you think what is the industry like . Is cowboy esque, i is it a bit cowboy esque, i cant speak for the entire industry. Patrick. I know what we do in our funeral home. I know we i know how we treat our families. I know how we treat those that have passed away. So i can only speak on behalf of myself and what we do at brady white. But the rest of the industry does. I speak for industry does. I cant speak for them, hope, and my them, i would hope, and my assumption would be that theyre all people there in the all good people out there in the main and are doing the right thing, cant speak for the thing, but i cant speak for the industry. The industry. Can i ask what the process is . So when comes storing so when it comes to storing the deceased, yeah. Obviously the deceased, yeah. Obviously this depends on how big the funeral parlour is, no doubt. But but you guys have presumably quite system of, quite a regimented system of, well, we store people in this particular place. Their funeral is on this day, and they need to either be in that coffin or that crematorium that time. I just crematorium by that time. I just dont some people crematorium by that time. I just donmessing some people crematorium by that time. I just don messing this some people crematorium by that time. I just donmessing this up some people crematorium by that time. I just donmessing this up. Some people are messing this up. So bring somebody into so well bring somebody into our so when we bring our care here. So when we bring somebody to our care and theyll always stay premises. So always stay in our premises. So in home, in our in our funeral home, in our funeral home we have mortuary facility. The people stay in facility. So the people stay in our premises the time. Our premises all the time. Thats same for thats not the same for everybody do not everybody else. Others do not necessarily the necessarily keep people on the same so we do. We will same premises. So we do. We will agree with the family a date for the burial cremation and the burial or the cremation and book and inform the book that in and inform the family happening and family when its happening and the service will take place, the cremation will happen. Will cremation will happen. We will collect the bring the collect the ashes, bring the ashes continually speak ashes back and continually speak to the family through the whole process, dates, about process, about dates, about times, and they will come back in and collect the ashes at the end that process. End of that process. In your view , is it quite in your view, is it quite difficult to , you know, get the difficult to, you know, get the wrong ashes, from in my view, yes, very difficult to get the wrong ashes, it would be highly unusual and just as a, as a yeah, as a as a wider point really, i suppose. I mean, you know, there is i think i imagine theres going to be some quite loud clamour now to, you know, zone in a bit on the funeral parlour industry and do you think there is, there is a need for that. For that. Absolutely. I think the Industry Needs to be regulated. I think there should be inspections, ad hoc inspections. People turning up and also families should be shown around a funeral home. A family should be able to walk into a funeral director and say, can you show me where you care for the deceased . And the funeral director should be able to say, yeah, ill show you immediately if to that or if theres delays to that or hold on. Im not we can do hold on. Im not sure we can do that. That would cause worry that. That would cause me worry and doubt. So it should be and doubt. So it should be available. Its an open. Available. Its almost an open. We door policy we have an open door policy here. Encourage our families here. We encourage our families and show all around our and we show them all around our funeral and weve been funeral home. And weve been like day number one. Like that from day number one. I mean , there we are. I do not mean, there we are. I do not think thats the same about lots of others. No fair enough, there was a case, recently. It was the case, recently. It was the second story that we mentioned there, about a body there, which was about a body not being in the coffin. I mean, there was apparently some there was also apparently some paid actors at this funeral, so the mind does boggle, but, how how i mean, again, you know, does the family not get to check . I does the family not get to check . I suppose theres a body in the coffin. Of course. The family wants the check. Of course they can. The check. Of course they can. If a family came in to us and said, oh, can i check my mum, dad, in the coffin . Dad, whoever is in the coffin . And been sealed. And the coffin had been sealed. We would reopen the coffin for them. Never happened. But them. Its never happened. But of the family wanted of course, if the family wanted to that, wed yes, of to do that, wed say, yes, of course yeah, no, but i, course you can. Yeah, no, but i, im i dont understand that im not. I dont understand that other story. The previous story, it sounds the whole thing was a bit of a setup with actors and a fake coffin. So im not really sure ones all about fake coffin. So im not really su all. Ones all about at all. Yeah, i mean, im fascinated by obviously, but i think, i by it, obviously, but i think, i think more important thing think the more important thing is it being an is this idea of it being an essentially unregulated industry. I really appreciate you us. You coming on tonight for us. Thank much. Thank you very, very much. Really have your really great to have your insight. Well, i suspect insight. And as well, i suspect we end up talking again at we might end up talking again at some point soon as, you know, were waiting to see how things develop. Thank you very much. That was co owner of brydie that was the co owner of brydie white independent funeral services, runs upstanding services, who runs an upstanding funeral okay. Funeral services. Right. Okay. Coming meghan have coming up, harry and meghan have tonight dramatically denied criticising the princess of wales us , insisting that, wales in the us, insisting that, quote, attacking Kate Middleton that to a source that were attributed to a source from the sussex camp did not come from them. Can we really believe them . Is kate getting the markle treatment . The Meghan Markle treatment . But next have all of your next i will have all of your front well, front pages. Well, .

Okay, next, the daily express, migrant plans to rwanda migrant flight plans to rwanda in good place. Plans to send deportation flights to rwanda are in a good place ahead of the bill becoming law next week, i think thats because were paying think thats because were paying them go there. But paying them to go there. But there we are. The i tory reliance on race row major donor reveal. Well, he is interesting. 21 of the conservative partys election war chest comes from frank hester. So they obviously cannot get rid of this guy or. Well, they could, but they certainly cant give him the money back, lets go over to the independent. Diane abbott accuses the tories and labour of shocking racism. According to abbott, everyones a racist. Abbott, everyones a racist. Essentially. Mp tells the independent that both parties were slow to call out vile abuse directed at her as rishi sunak says, racist donor has shown remorse, said the tories wont return his £10 million. So there we go. Thats the first loss of your front pages for you anyway. I am joined, of course, by the editor at large of the mail on sunday. Charlotte griffiths, businessman and activist adam brooks, author brooks, and author and journalist rebecca reid. Now harry have tonights harry and meghan have tonights emphatic denied criticising the princess of wales in the us press over her photoshop attempts , insisting, quote, attempts, insisting, quote, attacking Kate Middleton that were attributed to a source from the sussex camp did not in fact come from them. The mystery come from them. The mystery source told page six magazine if harry and meghan had ever encountered the same issue, they would been annihilated. Would have been annihilated. This a mistake meghan this isnt a mistake meghan would made. Comes would ever have made. It comes as the times exclusively reveal in tomorrows newspaper. This in tomorrows newspaper. So this is the new bit that prince harry and his brother william are still so at loggerheads that they wont. Sorry. They will both appear at an event to pay tribute to their late mother this week. But the duke of sussex will only speak after the prince of wales has left. So let me just reiterate that theres an event to pay tribute to their late mum later this week. But the duke of sussex will only speak after the prince of wales has wills will attend the has left. Wills will attend the diana legacy award event in person on thursday night in london and give a short speech. Harry is going to beam in over webcam from california, but will only speak apparently once william has actually left the building. Well, there we go. Charlotte, your thoughts . Charlotte, your thoughts . Well, thats just so petty, isnt it . But its actually very convincing. I mean, isnt it . But its actually very convincing. I mean, im isnt it . But its actually very convincing. I mean, im sure convincing. I mean, im sure that that has actually happened because harry and william have stipulated really stipulated it. Thats the really sad pathetic thing is that sad and pathetic thing is that they are with Everything Else thats going on, they are still so that they cant so pathetic that they cant appear even though appear even, even even though harrys in california at the same event, unless its separately. Itsjust same event, unless its separately. Its just madness. Itsjust separately. Its just madness. Its just brit school do you buy it . Adam . When harry and meghan say that source saying that meghan would never have fallen of photoshop fallen foul of this photoshop thing everything thing with everything that kates got going on at the moment, you moment, obviously unwell, you know that know them down, denying that theyve stuck the boot in. Sorry. No, no. Go on. But that comment was so obviously them. Just read obviously them. It just read like something they like exactly something they would i know theyre would say. And i know theyre denying but mean it denying it now, but i mean it just harry. Just smacks of harry. Im really not a meghan fan. So you know , im really not. So no, you know, im really not. I shes brought lot of i think shes brought a lot of this herself. Shes ripped this on herself. Shes ripped this on herself. Shes ripped this apart, in this family apart, in my opinion, shes caused a lot opinion, and shes caused a lot of the attention that shes got from the british media, and i think kate is the opposite. I think kate is the opposite. I think , you know, from what we think, you know, from what we see, she is, shes done everything shes been asked for in the royal family. She comes across lovely from what we can see, you know, im not a big fan of meghan. People are convinced by kate in a way that theyre just not by meghan. But i, i agree, and im a big by meghan. Bfan, i agree, and im a big by meghan. Bfan, butjree, and im a big by meghan. Bfan, but iee, and im a big by meghan. Bfan, but i do and im a big by meghan. Bfan, but i do think m a big by meghan. Bfan, but i do think thatsig kate fan, but i do think thats probably that she that probably true that she that meghan wouldnt have done this. Meghan wouldnt have done this. Meghan so savvy and meghan is so publicity savvy and so, aware of her image. So, so aware of her own image. I dont think naive. I think dont think shes naive. I think im not sure she gets it right. Im not sure she gets it right. I think she messes it up a lot. But i think that kate is perhaps too naive and too innocent. If that by her and that photo was taken by her and she around with and she messed around with it and she messed around with it and she ap, that comes she gave it to ap, that comes from somebody who is, in their core, meghan is core, quite naive. And meghan is not naive. Yeah, meghans with yeah, meghans obsessed with authenticity word authenticity. She uses that word the shes of the whole time. But shes of course, incredibly course, so incredibly inauthentic. She really believes us all crazy. We really believing are we really believing that she took photo and she honestly took that photo and she honestly took that photo and she doctored it herself . She she doctored it herself . Come on, what was it . Did do that . Did she do that . Did she do that . Because is. If harry and because it is. If harry and meghan, which they deny, if it was indeed them, through a source that have decided to give kate a kicking at that particular moment in time, that is right . That particular moment in time, that is right . That is is horrendous, right . That is absolutely if that is the absolutely awful. If that is the case, but potentially shows how far removed they are and how much, how little they communicate with the royal family possibly if they family because possibly if they knew what was going on, they wouldnt have done that. I think theyre sorry. So just to move it slightly, is harry right it on slightly, is harry right to not going to speak to say hes not going to speak at event even virtually . At this event even virtually . I mean, until williams left the building, im very sure thats come from both of them, not just harry. Im absolutely sure its both of them. But no, its pathetic. This is not the behaviour of two grown it really annoys apparently it really annoys william, sorry, william, the diana staff. Sorry, but with the statue. Remember the unveiling of the statue a couple years ago . Because couple of years ago . Because harry, of course, has a 50 claim own mother. Claim on his own mother. Of course. One thing course. And its the one thing they really elbow out they cant really elbow him out of. The. But also of. And it drives the. But also mad probably. Honestly, these seeds i think honestly, these seeds were childhood and there were sown in childhood and there is so there many ways in is so there are so many ways in which was portrayed to be which harry was portrayed to be the naughty and the fun, naughty scamp and william and basically william had. And they basically they up they screwed those children up from and is from the cradle. And it is no surprise they acting surprise that they are acting out now.

Purely for political point scoring, the grim details are revealed in tonights greatest britain in Union Jackass. And of course , a few jackass. And of course, a few more inside stories from the papers as well. Patrick christys tonight gb news. All right. Welcome back. Now i have one more front page for you. Okay . So lets do it now. You. Okay . So lets do it now. Its the daily mail. Shapps back spending 3 on our defence minister calls for cash boost for more dangerous world. It is interesting this. So dont leave britain defenceless is the daily mail campaign. Britain defenceless is the daily mail campaign. Grant shapps last mail campaign. Grant shapps last night threw his weight behind the push to increase military spending to 3 of gdp. Bear in mind , in the budget, we didnt mind, in the budget, we didnt have anything, did we, about defence and weve got an increasingly, you know, fractious world. Grant shapps last night threw his weight behind this this this pledge. In behind this this this pledge. In a bold move which put further pressure on rishi sunak, the defence secretary said more cash was to match the threat was needed to match the threat posed by vladimir putin. He says i want a bigger budget. He i want a bigger budget. He travelled to poland. He spoke exclusively to news, the exclusively to gb news, by the way, in poland will be way, in poland we will be showing that on the channel showing you that on the channel tomorrow. He poland tomorrow. He says that poland already spends gdp on already spends 4 of gdp on defence. I think it is reasonable, really, to say that we should be doing a bit more. Theyve got a comment piece theyve also got a comment piece at says kate at the top which says gives kate at the top which says gives kate a readers and a break. Mail readers and columnist unite say , columnist spelman unite to say, give kate a break. So there we go. Im going to focus in my panel now on the story thats on the front of the independent and its a diane abbott accuses tories labour shocking tories and labour of shocking racism. So shes basically saying racist , mp saying everyones a racist, mp tells the independent both parties were slow to call out the vile abuse directed at her. Diane abbott has hit out and she was in pmqs today. She was not called to give a question. She i mean stood up. Goodness knows how many times 48, 46, 48 so we do know 48 times and six whatever. And wasnt called which i do think, to be honest, was weird. Yeah, i think it was with i think Lindsay Hoyle is on the back foot a little bit at the moment, for obvious reasons, and was basically just too afraid to let her. Think was. I think it was. I think it was. Yeah, i think keir starmer got ear again. Keir got in his ear again. Keir starmer would not have wanted diane to up. Diane abbott to stand up. Think would, would oh i think he would, would actually he won labour. Actually i think he won labour. I would. I think he would. I think i mean obviously well i think i mean obviously starmer it but you starmer would deny it but you know. Yeah. Yeah. Well no i think, i think Lindsay Hoyle is genuinely probably quite traumatised the, the level of traumatised by the, the level of how he screwed up. Hes to be safer and hes trying to be safer and overcorrected. Oh is interesting oh this is interesting because mean, look, by the because i mean, look, by the way, i just say, you know, way, can i just say, you know, yesterday emerged there yesterday it emerged that there is going to be no more, privileges hearing Privileges Committee hearing into the allegations that keir starmer leant on the speaker over that gaza vote. Okay. And the reasons for that are not because anyone thinks that there isnt a case to answer. Its because they said its important that what goes on in the speakers room remains confidential. Okay, thats confidential. Okay, so thats why not an why there isnt its not an exoneration for keir starmer. Well never know. We will never know. Cake. Yeah we will. They will do something over cake. But theyre not really comparable. The speaker the speaker that. Speaker chamber has that. Different well you theres a different well you could argue that actually what allegedly though allegedly happened though over the garford beck was actually much affected much worse because it affected the way. But theyre just not sure. But theyre just not comparable. It comparable. Yeah. Not saying it was cake. And one is about caving into marlborough, but is matter marlborough, but one is a matter of record and one is of Public Record and one is about the secrecy of about retaining the secrecy of the chamber. Absolutely and absolutely. But when absolutely. Anyway, so but when it comes so, so Lindsay Hoyle got massive it big time got massive copped it big time over that, big time over it. Now youre looking at a situation where think i think it would where i think i think it would have more damaging for the have been more damaging for the conservative diane conservative party had diane abbott spoken about abbott stood up and spoken about a conservative donor, saying that should be that he thinks she should be shot and all black women and all of stuff, and that didnt of that stuff, and that didnt happen. And you have to have it both ways, you know, do both ways, really, you know, do you our speaker been you think our speaker has been compromised here now . He cant function result of of this . Yeah, i think so. I think definitely to definitely for many weeks to come, just quivering in come, hell just be quivering in his wont and thats his boots, wont he . And thats exactly happened. We exactly whats happened. As we said and, but i do think said at and, but i do think actually hell thinking about actually hell be thinking about the well, the labour party as well, because shes loose cannon and because shes a loose cannon and he know what would he didnt know what she would say either youre say on either side. But youre probably hes probably probably right. Hes probably more he didnt want more worried that he didnt want to conservatives again. So apparently to so apparently this is to according a transcript, which diane confirmed. She diane abbott has confirmed. She was saying to keir starmer, you could whip back, you could give me the whip back, you could give me the whip back, you could me back. And could give me the whip back. And he saying, no, dont do it. He was saying, no, dont do it. Do think will, i dont know. I think he should. I think he should. No, i dont think he should at because i dont at all, because i dont agree with comments. And with her past comments. And i think a loose cannon and a think shes a loose cannon and a party, big that labour party, a big party that labour shouldnt have someone like her, as an mp, but, who knows . With keir starmer if he thinks it could help them, their election chances. Could help them, their election chances. Of course he will. Chances. Of course he will. Yeah. What about your view on on that. No, i dont think he should. I think hes hes gripping on to his reputation for having purged anti semitism from the party. And if he lets her back in hes setting anti semitism back. Hes let another one back today. I think she i think what i think she is. I think what she was more egregious. And she said was more egregious. And the cut case, she the clear cut case, what she said. There no for. Defence said. There is no for. Defence this is just to kind of well, this is just to kind of follow all this. Follow up. Its all linked this. So news tonight so the latest news tonight and it front of the eye is it is on the front of the eye is frank hester. This you know donor donated £10. 1 million to the tories last year. And it shows apparently that 21 of the tories election funding. Is this tories election funding. Is this so. I mean they cant get rid of him can they . Even if they wanted to. No. But also if you start scratching it, who donate to political parties, theres badness so badness on both sides. So neither throw stones Neither Party can throw stones and just need to accept and they just need to accept that a lot time it comes that a lot of the time it comes from ideal people. But labour from in ideal people. But labour labours perfect this labours not perfect on this front so not front either, so theyre not going to start. Labour accept 500,000 didnt labour accept 500,000 from chinese from a communist Chinese Communist party or Something Like that . No, not from the Chinese Communist party. No, not no communist party. No, no, not no no no no no i get what you mean. There was there was, there were rounds were stories doing the rounds about labours , about what . You know, labours, you or people linked with you know, or people linked with the party. Might the labour party. You might have had the communist had a link with the communist party. I do, i do get you mean. But but they have not did that get back or not . That get given back or not . And think well, no. And i think everybodys both everybodys accepting that both parties people parties take money from people they nobodys parties take money from people they them nobodys parties take money from people they them money nobodys parties take money from people they them money back. Ys parties take money from people they them money back. Thats giving them money back. Thats funny frank is funny about frank hester is theres course not theres of course theyre not going to give money back. Going to give the money back. Probably already they probably already spent it, actually said, it, but theyve actually said, and carry taking money and well carry on taking money from of course they from him because of course they will, theres of will, because theres 21 of what they earn. All do i think but they all do this. I think its kind moral neutral. Its a kind of moral neutral. Im going to round now im going to just round us off interesting us off with an interesting story, which you know, story, which is, you know, something bit something a little bit different. Every different. And we dont every day talk about day on this show talk about metal now metal detecting. Now to the scandal hit world of metal detecting, year old detecting, where a 64 year old man for fraud after man was arrested for fraud after planting historic coins in a field pretending to find field and pretending to find them to make look them just to make himself look good. The them just to make himself look good. The rare crusader coins, which could have by the way, links to the knights templar, would have literally changed the recorded history of western britain if the discovery had been genuine. This is according to archaeologists. Suspicions arose when no other coins were found in the area leading to the discovery that a Michael Jones from port talbot bought them on ebay for £200. The court found that while jones had been dishonest, there was no evidence of his intention to make money from it, leading to him being acquitted, i mean, look, you know, ill do anything for fame. All right . But, you know, burying historic coins. I just love the fact that this could have changed. Changed british history. I think the mad thing is that there are rapists walking free. But they had time to put him on trial. Like in what . Come on, hes a silly girl. Hes a silly old girl. Expecting go i wasnt expecting you to go for. You but you make for. But you make. But you make a point. A fair point. Of all the people who didnt need tried. Need to be tried. Guys has got yeah, the guys ego has got in way of his morals. What in the way of his morals. What a plonker. Be fair , a complete plunkett. You know, im a bit of sympathy him because he sympathy for him because he actually said, look, first of all, to it straight all, he owned up to it straight away. He said, i just really away. And he said, i just really wanted be somebody wanted a matter and be somebody important. Wanted a matter and be somebody importadoes matter. Mark in the and he does matter. Mark in the world. He just planted some world. So he just planted some little coins in the grass. He probably realise quite probably didnt realise quite how has funded film how this has got bbc funded film written it. Written all over it. Yeah, matters hes yeah, it matters now. Hes just called a plonker on just been called a plonker on national Adam National television by adam brooks. Go. Youre brooks.

Your top story this hour. Diane abbott, the mp at the centre of a growing racism row, has accused both the conservatives and labour of failing to deal with racism. Writing in the independent , the former labour independent, the former labour mp said torys reluctance to call out racism and sexism is hardly surprising. But she said hardly surprising. But she said she was disappointed in the labour party for being equally reluctant. Its after the conservatives biggest owner, frank hester, allegedly said that the former labour mp made him want to hate all black women, and that she should be shot. Mr hester says hes deeply sorry remarks. The first sorry for the remarks. The first minister of wales has criticised bons minister of wales has criticised Boris Johnsons leadership dunng Boris Johnsons leadership during the covid pandemic. Mark drakeford said the former Prime Minister was like the absent manager of a Football Team and accused him of not taking the pandemic seriously. Speaking at pandemic seriously. Speaking at the covid inquiry, he also said mr johnson was deliberately unclear as to whether some rules only apply to england. The welsh conservatives accused mr drakeford of using the inquiry to attack his political
