The National Health service cares more about net zero than saving lives. People will die, quite literally sacrificed on the altar of the big green agenda. Next month, the nhs is rolling out electric ambulances that cost £150,000 a pop. They have a range of about 100 miles and take four hours to charge. Standard ambulances can cover up to 800 miles a day and be filled up in just minutes. What would you prefer . There was a trial you prefer . There was a trial done of these ambulances in the west midlands. It raised serious concerns about patient safety, especially for People Living in remote rural areas. But that doesnt matter, does it . To the doesnt matter, does it . To the eco fanatics, plastic cannulas simple , effective and healthier simple, effective and healthier for the patient. No no no , they for the patient. No no no, they are too. Plastic. Patients will have to be stabbed with metal ones instead, even if thats physically worse for their health. Women in labour. Take your Climate Friendly pain relief and stop bloody moaning. Relief and stop bloody moaning. Chemotherapy and other treatments will be delivered by electric bike. This is despite electric bike. This is despite the fire service saying it was called to put out an e bike fire every other day, on average in 2023. Sorry we couldnt get your chemo to you because its currently on fire in the road, ironically polluting the atmosphere and causing a massive traffic jam. It gets worse. Any business that wants to supply the nhs with anything has to fill out a 135 question booklet and whether or not their product will only be used if it meets the social values and emissions targets of the nhs. I mean, its remarkable stuff, isnt it . We are presumably just months away from stab victims having their wounds plugged with sustainably sourced moss, stitched together using straw and twigs. Why are they doing this . Well two reasons. Reason number one, they decided in 2020 that the nhs had to be the worlds first Health Service to be carbon neutral. Service to be carbon neutral. Why . Its a flipping Health Service, not greenpeace , is it . Service, not greenpeace, is it . Greta thunberg wasnt going to turn up outside great ormond street and start ranting about the climate emergency. Just stop oil werent going to storm into saint thomass hospital and glued to an mri glued themselves to an mri scanner. Two there glued themselves to an mri scaiapparently two there glued themselves to an mri scaiapparently 48 two there glued themselves to an mri scaiapparently 48 staff two there glued themselves to an mri scaiapparently 48 staff with there are apparently 48 staff with a combined salary of £3 million, who now work for the greener nhs team, and their salaries depend on them being seen to be doing something. But here you go. Are you ready . Like all good environmentalist sorts, and weve seen this time and time again with the old prince harry, private jet brigade. Do you think they practice what they preach . Nhs england executives preach . Nhs england executives spent around £30,000 on domestic flights in 2023, including £440 for a single fare from london to manchester. Theyve been flying from london to manchester. Piss off with your Climate Friendly pain relief. Honestly this is the Public Sector taxpayer funding out of £170 billion. Also another £6 billion in the latest budget every single aspect of its service now has to go through social and environmental checks. The taxpayer pays the wages of the numpties making these decisions, the taxpayer pays the price. If the taxpayer pays the price. If they die as a result of these decisions, and then the taxpayer pays them medical negligence compensation to families of the bereaved , we might as well shut bereaved, we might as well shut down the nhs, open up a giant incinerator here and pump the countrys money into it all the executives could fly in on private jets and watch the ceremony. In fact, its easy to ceremony. In fact, its easy to forget we did actually hold a Church Service to commemorate the 75th anniversary of nhs. The 75th anniversary of the nhs. Ihope the 75th anniversary of the nhs. I hope they said a prayer for all the people who are about to get worse care, because some cretin a figure salary cretin on a six figure salary decided to extinction decided to suck up to extinction rebellion. But get the rebellion. But lets get the thoughts my panel. I am thoughts now of my panel. I am joined this evening by political commentator alex armstrong. Ive commentator alex armstrong. Ive got ex bbc political chief John Sergeant, finalist sergeant, apprentice finalist and entrepreneur Joanna Jarjue. And entrepreneur Joanna Jarjue. John, ill start with you. I think people might die as a result of this net zero madness. Yeah, i think there is a danger of that. And i think youve always got to be aware of the awful truth that common sense isnt very common, and people get crazy about. Oh, well, it says here and we must do this. And of course, all the time theyve got to consider what will the practical effects be in the immediate future. We all know about the long tum future. Youve got to make sure theres change. Its more important in the nhs than any other body. Theres going to be dramatic change. There has to be. And so in order to make sure that its effective, they should already start sending standards by saying, now look, weve got to reduce the staff, weve got to reduce the staff, weve got to reduce the bureaucracy. And that will be one of our tests, along with how were moving towards net zero. But i mean, its a Health Service. Its not extinction rebellion. Its not a corporate body that can afford to do these things. If it means that women are getting all climate are getting all of this Climate Friendly now, that friendly pain relief. Now, that may be okay, but may or may not be okay, but i dont think it is okay. Alex, is the idea that someone living in the idea that someone living in the back end of nowhere might not treatment, not be able to get treatment, because electric ambulance because the electric ambulance cant them. Cant get to them. Wait to be told when i cant wait to be told when im calling 999 helpline. Im calling the 999 helpline. Your ambulance is charging. Well with four well be there with you in four hours. Im in there with hours. While im in there with some sort of stroke or something. Mean, bonkers, something. I mean, its bonkers, isnt know, talking isnt it . And you know, talking about we have a about common sense. We have a minister common sense, minister for common sense, esther is she . Esther mcvey. Where is she . Surely should be over surely she should be all over this stuff. Know, i cant this stuff. You know, i cant believe you know what . Believe that. You know what . Actually, whats fascinating to me, patrick, is that actually the has its largest, largest the nhs has its largest, largest ever record , and ever sum of money on record, and we keep putting those records up. And we keep putting those records up. And clearly this is where the moneys going, because its not going into patient care because backlogs because weve still got backlogs and and backlogs and and backlogs and backlogs and cancer waiting lists going up and up. Soit cancer waiting lists going up and up. So it makes you and up and up. So it makes you wonder is this where moneys going . Come on, joanna, i mean, this just seem bonkers to me. Just seem a bit bonkers to me. Really. Quite clearly. Mean, really. Quite clearly. I mean, the that, know, the idea that, you know, cannulas patients are cannulas for patients that are made plastic, it could made out of plastic, it could actually be worse for the patient had to patient if they had to be repeatedly arm repeatedly stabbed in the arm with a metal one. Actually, was well, actually, that was actually something said actually something that was said by suppliers. So by one of the suppliers. So obviously a supplier is going to say, sell you these say, i want to sell you these plastic ones. So im going to make this potentially. Make up this thing potentially. Im not saying that thats definitely say definitely correct and say actually patient actually its down to patient safety. But i think this is really important. The nhs is a huge organisation like we all know. We know that globally we have get, Global Warming down have to get, Global Warming down to is important. To 1. 5 c. So this is important. And i dont think that people will necessarily lose their lives because this is a pilot. Its not like theyre saying scrap all the ambulance that weve got already. Theyre saying were going do this saying were going to do this pilot need to move pilot because we need to move forward. Its important forward. And its important for global find bonkers, though, what i find bonkers, though, is that they had pilot, is that they had a pilot, a smaller pilot the west smaller pilot in the west midlands, and it raised serious concerns. They thought, oh, were do anyway. Concerns. They thought, oh, wewell, do anyway. Concerns. They thought, oh, wewell, why do anyway. Concerns. They thought, oh, wewell, why didnt anyway. Concerns. They thought, oh, wewell, why didnt they ay. Concerns. They thought, oh, wewell, why didnt they test it well, why didnt they test it out patient transport out with with patient transport services. Go straight and services. Why go straight and test ambulances . Think services. Why go straight and test better|lances . Think services. Why go straight and test better ways s . Think services. Why go straight and test better ways s . they theres better ways that they could nhs be doing could be. The nhs could be doing this but yet again its the this but but yet again its the overbloated Civil Servants in the need to be drastic they need to be drastic because actually to net because to actually get to net zero, its 90 reduction, 10 ofsted and a lot of that is the nhs contribute to Climate Change. I bet its so small you cant even know. Actually it does because obviously to actually to, to look at whats, an organisation , look at whats, an organisation, carbon footprint, you have to look at suppliers as well. So its about the wider. But also youve got to be aware of the fact there are lots of who really will resist of people who really will resist change, however sensible the change, however sensible the change is that this man, this paramedic quoted as paramedic whos quoted as saying, i dont see why i should worry about whether my batterys being charged. I mean, yes , if being charged. I mean, yes, if youre if youre driving an electric ambulance, you do need to worry about that. Oh, well, im im not going to bother with that. Well, youve got to bother with it. So the idea and this is what i tell you, i find frightening. If you think of the change required in the change thats required in the nhs about 5 or 10 years, nhs within about 5 or 10 years, all of us will have to have computers all around us. When were in hospital, well be dean were in hospital, well be dealt with genetically about, or there are all kinds of changes, amazing changes that will happen. And the idea of blokes saying, oh, just because ive got an electric car, does that mean ive got to worry about the operation yes, course, operation . Yes, of course, youve to alex, if youve got to think, alex, if they really cared about this. Okay, the 48 members of staff on a combined salary of £3 million, some of the nhs bigwigs would not be taking a flight from london to manchester if they really thought it was urgent. This climate emergency. Its actually comical when you say out loud, isnt it . We shouldnt laugh because its genuinely serious. This is taxpayer talking taxpayer money. Were talking about living crisis. About a cost of living crisis. And, you find out that and, and you find out that theyre basically up, up theyre flying basically up, up north for half an hour trip is north for a half an hour trip is bonkers. They dont care. Bonkers. They dont really care. Whats is that this whats happened is, is that this agenda, not a agenda, which is not just a british agenda, its a western agenda everybody green. Agenda to get everybody green. Everyones bought into it. Because guess long as because guess what . As long as no checking out what no ones checking out what theyre dont really no ones checking out what theyitheyre dont really no ones checking out what theyitheyre happy dont really care. Theyre happy to fly private taylor swift private jets to Taylor Swift Party and to and to the all those big events happening in switzerland, i mean, bought into it kind of playing it like thats kind of playing up with the whole thing that its of conspiracy, its some sort of conspiracy, the are punished. The ones that are punished. Were else is were literally no one else is being theyre being punished. Theyre just saying their saying no. Theyll have their private ambulances powered by their private ambulances. Theyre petrol theyre going to be petrol for the punished. The come on, being punished. Dont think. Dont think. Are. Emm e are. Of course of course we are. Of course these enormously important these are enormously important changes has got changes which everyone has got to get involved in. Yeah, including chinese yeah, including the Chinese People it quickly, people will do it quickly, including and i know including china. And i know theyve all weve all got to get involved. So the idea that what weve got to do at the moment, someone pops up and says theres a problem because may a problem because it may cut lives. Say, well give lives. You say, oh, well give it then. Oh hold on a moment. It up then. Oh hold on a moment. No, give it up. No, you dont give it up. John, why is it only the but john, why is it only the west . Are we only being west . Why are we only being punished the west . Punished in the west . Are. We are. We are. Ive an answer for that. Ive got an answer for that. Ive got an answer for that. To accept youve got ive got an answer for that. Get accept youve got ive got an answer for that. Get accwith youve got ive got an answer for that. Get accwith it. Youve got to get on with it. Let me. Right. Its except let me. Right. Its probably important at this juncture. Ill you what the juncture. Ill tell you what the nhs say about all this. Nhs have to say about all this. Then on. Well then well carry on. Then well carry right. So the nhs carry on. Right. So the nhs services always put Services Must always put patients first when procuring products. It also products. And it also it is also right we green right that we seek Green Alternatives but only when they save the taxpayer money. The new electric ambulances are benefiting thousands of patients. Reports that benefiting thousands of patie are reports that benefiting thousands of patie are working reports that benefiting thousands of patie are working efficientlyiat benefiting thousands of patie are working efficiently and they are working efficiently and they are working efficiently and they could help deliver annual operational savings of £59 million. So well, thats just about cover the flights. This is what this is it. But then you do factor in whether or not actually in the round. This is saving us money. Bit of background here. The new electric ambulances have electric ambulances which have taken trials taken part in trials can be effectively recharged depot effectively recharged at depot sites operational sites to ensure operational deliveries of services is maintained. They its maintained. As they say, its incorrect to say they would deliver a reduced level of service compared with other methods of transport. So thats what about all of this. What they say about all of this. I mean, theres also the talk as well. Joanna, ill go to you on this things like this about things like chemotherapy treatment being delivered peoples houses, delivered to peoples houses, mobile chemo electric bikes, mobile chemo on electric bikes, the fire service has said that they dealt with one electric bike fire every other day in 2023. I mean, its not ideal. We just have to transition. You know, its never going to be perfect the beginning. But we perfect at the beginning. But we do make this transition. Do have to make this transition. We because we cant just say because one electric you electric bike doesnt work, you know, week that were not know, once a week that were not going ahead with this. It going to go ahead with this. It just ridiculous and just seems ridiculous and drastic into the drastic and just plays into the hands actually the conspiracy hands of actually the conspiracy theorists saying theorists who were saying climate real Climate Change isnt real theory, though, they are. Theory, though, if they are. Well, the no. Im well, im seeing the no. Im talking the conspiracy well, im seeing the no. Im talkingglobal the conspiracy well, im seeing the no. Im talkingGlobal Warming piracy well, im seeing the no. Im talkingGlobal Warming overall, about Global Warming overall, but like, im seeing the effects. Youve just been to australia. Its beautiful. How australia. Its beautiful. How hot was it . So fantastic. It was its so fantastic. It was beautiful. Look at my tank. Come on. Well, no, it was there. No, on. Well, no, it was there. No, but it is. I went on boat. Thats ive away for so thats why ive been away for so many weeks. Thats why ive been away for so ma 11 weeks. Australia to save i swam to australia to save our nhs. Rats on the back of the rats are on the back of the floor. Y its actually. You said before what the chinese before about what the chinese and do, and its and the indians do, and its also of much weve also because of how much weve contributed through our Industrial Revolution at this side you whats side of the, you know, whats gonna jump, gonna happen here, that jump, theyre Going Companies theyre going to say companies are go, right, weve are going to go, right, weve got fill out this 135 got to fill out this 135 question questionnaire. Right. Theyre all right. And theyre going to tell what to go, well ill tell you what we as your supplier of we could do as your supplier of pens something. We could go pens or something. We could go greener will cost you greener but it will cost you more. Cost the more. And its going to cost the taxpayer all paying taxpayer more. Were all paying for this now. Why m for this now. Why got to keep thats why youve got to keep a grip on it the time. Now, a grip on it all the time. Now, if ambulances , people if you take ambulances, people imagine ambulances imagine that ambulances are running whole time. Running around the whole time. Theyre of theyre not. The whole idea of an its got to be an ambulance is its got to be there. Just like that when you need it. It doesnt mean that every single ambulance is working of working 24 over seven. Of course, it doesnt. It means there are lots of times when they really must stay in the depot or be charged in the hospital , depot or be charged in the hospital, all that, but depot or be charged in the hospital , all that, but theyve hospital, all that, but theyve got to change the way they work. Theyre going. Its not amazing. Electric vehicles are Getting Better and better and better all the time. I dont why we the time. I dont know why we have do this right now, right have to do this right now, right when vehicles come when electric vehicles have come onto can wait a onto the market, we can wait a little. Little bit. But start somewhere. But start somewhere. Start now. Lets wait start now. Well, lets wait till get better batteries bigger. This what happened. The this is what happened. The nhs in 2020 decided to set itself being itself the target of being the worlds net health. Worlds first net zero health. No this. No one was asking for this. Greta was turning Greta Thunberg was not turning up ormond street, you up at great ormond street, you know, picketing it outside. Shes goodness. Shes doing it for goodness. Running. Shes not running. Shes not running. Call ourselves leaders, we call ourselves leaders, all no , no, shes not right, no, no, shes not all right, all right, right, all right. All right, all right, all right. Okay. Coming up. Is okay, okay. Coming up. Is rishi sunak a chick labour . Rishi sunak a chick in labour . Thinks name the thinks so. Should he name the date of the election . Do we actually think we know it actually think we know when it is by way. And its all well is by the way. And its all well and good saying sunak is and good saying that sunak is scared. Should we all be scared. But should we all be scared . We trust labour to scared . Can we trust labour to defend britain and did labour deliberately prevent liz trusss gender reform bill being discussed by talking about ferrets . But up next, Ed Mcguinness and peter tatchell, they go head to head. Why . Well, i think its quite important. Tower hamlets banned the Tower Hamlets has banned the palestinian flag. Should britain as a whole, should the palestinian flags be removed from publicly owned buildings right across britain . Patrick right across britain . Patrick christys on gb news. Okay. This is Patrick Christys. Tonight. Were only on gb news. And it is time now for our head to head. Palestinian flags are still being displayed in Tower Hamlets. Even after the announcement of the mayor lufti rahman, to remove them. The issue of palestinian flags has been contentious in the area. In november , a local resident was november, a local resident was arrested for posting a video criticising their appearance in bethnal green. Another member of the public decided to take matters into his own hands, which led a ladder street which to led a ladder street brawl. So tonight i am asking should every council in britain remove palestinian flags . I am joined now by ex British Army Officer Ed Mcguinness and human rights campaigner and activist peter tatchell. Ed, ill start with you. Should all councils ban the palestinian flags . Thanks, patrick. Good evening, the reason why this symbol is contentious is because the represents a state, the flag represents a state, half of which was , until very half of which was, until very recently governed by a terrorist organisation. So thats why the symbol is contentious, and i would say in this febrile environment, we really want to de escalate tensions. And this symbol can make certain people feel unwelcome or it can increase tensions. So i believe thatis increase tensions. So i believe that is the reason why these particular flags should be taken down across the country. Okay, peter , you know, its okay, peter, you know, its britain. We should just have the union jack. Union jack. I think that its up to local councils to decide which flags, if any, they fly. So i supported local councils flying the ukrainian flag in solidarity with the people there against russian aggression. Against russian aggression. I think there is a case to fly the palestinian flag, to show solidarity with the horrendous toll of civilian deaths, but i wouldnt want it be to be seen as anti jewish or anti the state of israel. You anti the state of israel. You know, we must make a distinction between the Israeli Government and the israeli people. And equally, as tension between the palestinian regimes and the palestinian regimes and the Palestinian People , i think, you Palestinian People, i think, you know, there is a case for saying that the commonwealth flag should have been flown, you know, last monday on the 75th anniversary of the commonwealth. That been great to that would have been great to symbolise all the community of nafions symbolise all the community of nations of the nations that are part of the commonwealth. Yeah a commonwealth. Yeah i do, its a good point. Wonder, though, with i do wonder, though, with that, that would that, whether or not that would be contentious. The union be deemed contentious. The union flag contentious. I flag is deemed contentious. I mean, remember when mean, i can remember when we were one of the euros, you were i was one of the euros, you know, about know, there was talk about whether going to whether or not we were going to put Saint Georges flag put the Saint Georges flag above street when we above downing street when we were semi finals or were in the semi finals or whatever why whatever we were. I mean, why are our flags more contentious than palestinian one . Are our flags more contentious tha well, palestinian one . Are our flags more contentious tha well, pales i nian one . Are our flags more contentious tha well, palesi would |e . Well, what i would say is theres actually government well, what i would say is theres a asally government well, what i would say is theres a as to government well, what i would say is theres a as to whatrnment well, what i would say is theres a as to whatrnme|you guidance as to what flags you can whether you need can fly and whether you need permission to fly them. The permission to fly them. And the commonwealth one of the commonwealth flag is one of the ones actually ones that you dont actually need fly. You can need permission to fly. You can also National Symbols also fly other National Symbols like, georges like, like Saint Georges flag or the saltire in or the flag or the saltire in scotland, the welsh flag as scotland, or the welsh flag as well, without any permission, and also county flags and things like that, and also Armed Forces Flags on armed forces day. So there are flags that are and symbols that are deemed and not contentious. But i mean, i think this could be the thin end of the wedge because, i mean, i grew up in Northern Ireland, where is a lot where there is a lot of territory marking around flags, around kerbstones around painting. Kerbstones and things. So think if we things. And so i think if we allow this to happen, and with allow this to happen, and with all due respect, i think the difference between flying the flag of ukraine, where weve been a long time ally and weve been a long time ally and weve been supporting them militarily, where weve really had skin in the game and weve seen, you know, brutal invasion there. I think a lot different to think thats a lot different to flying palestinian flag. Flying the palestinian flag. Yeah. I mean, peter, look, the fact is that, know , the fact is that, you know, hamas over the border hamas rampaged over the border there slaughtering there were slaughtering indiscriminately men, women, babies, etc. Its hugely contentious, issue this, you know , why should councils in know, why should councils in britain be slapping the palestinian flag on it like some form of fashion accessory . Well, as i said , i think its well, as i said, i think its up to local people to decide. So local councils in my view, should be free to fly whatever flag they wish, if its with the consent of the people and if its within the framework of the law. But when it comes to the israel gaza war, there have been war crimes on both sides. And in fact, israel has killed thousands more children in gaza than hamas has killed in israel. Both are wrong. Its not a numbers game. But if you look at the proportion 13,000 children massacred by israel in gaza, those are innocent children who had nothing to do with hamas war crimes. They should not be treated in that way. They should not be. Their lives should not be sacrificed out of an understandable rage at what hamas did. Ive got no time for hamas did. Ive got no time for hamas whatsoever , but i dont hamas whatsoever, but i dont think children should pay the price. But theres also been a huge rise in anti semitic attacks in this country and this flag flying in certain parts of this country means that a certain groups feel unwelcome or threatened when they see these symbols of what happened on october the 7th, you know, flying around, you know, parts of the capital city. So what i would say, and, you know, i broadly agree with, with your point about local people being able to make decisions, but also councils have a responsibility to create permissive to create a permissive environment for everyone to be able to live and work together. So so, you know, i take all your points, but i would say that were talking about symbols and what and what makes people feel welcome in this country. And i know growing up in a, in a place that was very contentious and conflict ridden, symbols conflict ridden, what symbols can how that can make can mean and how that can make you not feel welcome in various. Yeah, weve got countries, you know, got pizza, weve know, weve got pizza, weve got council through the council tax going through the roof, councils not roof, weve got councils not fixing polls. Youre if bins get youre lucky if your bins get taken i tell you what taken out. But i tell you what your local council apparently cares whats cares cares more about whats going than going on in the middle east than it at dorothys it does around at dorothys at number thats that flag number 42. Thats what that flag says to me. Well, amount money well, the amount of money spent probably very, very spent is probably very, very tiny. And maybe some of was tiny. And maybe some of it was actually paid for by donations. I think those flags put i think some of those flags put up actually done by up were actually done by individuals, not by the council. But your point that but i agree with your point that there has been a rise in anti semitism and in anti muslim prejudice, and both communities must be protected and defended. Neither must be put in a situation where they feel unsafe. So i stand with the Jewish Community and the muslim community. Lets protect both. Lets not divide. Lets protect both. And i think one thing that would unite people is uniting around our common symbols in this country , like flag, our this country, like flag, our flag. Yeah, itd be nice, wouldnt it . Our flags. Thats why we have them. We should. We should not be ashamed. You know, were in this wonderful studio. Weve got, this this got, you know, this this background has flag background which has the flag on it because it people like to feel of belonging. And feel a sense of belonging. And thats why we have our flags and thats why we have our flags and thats why we have our symbols. So rally around those so why can we rally around those instead rallying around a instead of rallying around a symbol a different state . Symbol of a different state . Do you think 90 of the do you not think 90 of the time do rally around the time we do rally around the union we . Time we do rally around the uni i n we . Time we do rally around the unii mean, we . Time we do rally around the unii mean, do we . Time we do rally around the unii mean, do you . Time we do rally around the unii mean, do you know what i mean, do you know what i think also says is that think this also says is that there are pockets in britain where to rally where it is easier to rally people around foreign people around a foreign countrys than it is our countrys flag than it is our own. Im not sure about that, patrick. I mean, i think, you know, obviously there are divided opinions, but most common opinions, but the most common flag flown in britain today is the union flag , and most people the union flag, and most people consent with that. Some may disagree with britains imperial past, but weve got a lot to be proud of today. Our democratic freedoms, our National Health service, the good things service, all the good things weve done, thats what we should be celebrating. Final one to you on this, and on sunday, i think it is. Its Saint Patricks day. How would you feel about the irish flag being everywhere the uk .

Should every in britain every council in britain remove the weve had every council in britain remove the people weve had every council in britain remove the people commenting e had some people commenting online. Charles says theres only one flag kingdom. The flag for the united kingdom. The union says why union flag. Robert says why should any public should any council or any public building fly any flag at all . What does it aim to achieve by doing so . Peter on twitter says, of course not. It is free speech. All right. Your verdict is in nine. 84 of you agree that every council in britain should remove the palestinian flag. 6 of you say that they shouldnt. Now, look, coming up is a chicken labour . Is rishi sunak a chicken labour . Thinks so. Should he name the date of the election . I think we might already know it. Ill be telling you a bit about that later all very well later on, it is all very well and good though, saying that sunak scared. But we sunak is scared. But should we all scared . We trust all be scared . Can we trust labour to defend britain . It looks as though theyre cosying up European Union for up to the European Union for some of defence pact. Some kind of defence pact. Coming though, should School Coming up, though, should School Children be visiting radical imams . Why . Well, it imams in mosques . Why . Well, it looks like its happening. But next, did labour deliberately prevent liz truss gender reform bill being discussed . It appears that they would rather talk about ferrets than the safety of young women. This is Patrick Christys tonight. Were only on. Gb news. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight on gb news. So, former Prime Minister liz truss tabled a private members bill in parliament on changing the law when it comes to defining biological sex. This is how truss explained the details of her bill when she spoke to gb news political editor, Christopher Hope earlier. Sex means biological sex. Its the sex you are born as thatis its the sex you are born as that is how children should be treated until theyre 18 and theyre old enough to make their own decisions. And what it will own decisions. And what it will mean is it will protect single sex facilities like toilets, single sex sports like girls sports. Well, the bill was due to receive its second reading in the commons today, but the debate never happened because truss says labour wasted time to prevent the discussion. This was just as Immediate Reaction when she left the chamber. A bill has been stopped today from being debated by the labour party, and im absolutely furious about that. They dont even want to talk about the importance of recognising biological sex. They dont want to talk about how we stop children being able to access puberty blockers is all right. But look, in case you werent quite convinced of labours time wasting tactics, take a listen to what they spent most of their time talking about today, i thought i would take the opportunity as it hasnt been taken many times during this session of parliament to actually talk about ferrets a little more. On april the 2nd National Ferret Day will be marked the risk of rabies from illegally imported ferrets and yeah, thats right, ferrets. Thats right, ferrets. This is what a Labour Government would look like. Would it . Taking up valuable parliamentary time to talk about the of weasels rather the welfare of weasels rather than the welfare of children . Joining now is someone who joining me now is someone who has backed trusss bill. Former olympic swimmer for great britain. Its the wonderful sharon davies. Sharon, thank you very, much. Well keir very, very much. Well keir starmer out recently and very, very much. Well keir starrhe out recently and very, very much. Well keir starrhe didnt out recently and very, very much. Well keir starrhe didnt wantacently and very, very much. Well keir starrhe didnt want blokes and said he didnt want blokes competing in womens sport, but then labour party rocks up then the labour party rocks up today and prattles on about ferrets. Ferrets. Yeah, it is really disappointing isnt it. I think where im at with politicians , but particularly politicians, but particularly with mr starmer, is that we need to see some actions where it is really cheap and he seems to change his opinions very often. So its extremely difficult to know what you can actually rely on. So to only just a few days ago to say that he believed that we should be using common sense in should be in sport and we should be protecting athletes. And protecting female athletes. And then today, to do you know what those those labour mps did talk about ferrets for, for 20 minutes. Itsjust about ferrets for, for 20 minutes. Its just shameful really that that thats whats going on in parliament. And this is safeguard our is talking about safeguard our children definition of children and the definition of sex, you know, which is being totally and utterly made grey so that women in this country at the moment just feel like second class citizens and that nobody wants to listen to the fact that were really worried what were really worried about what is to young people is happening to our young people , opportunities, and just is happening to our young people , our opportunities, and just is happening to our young people , our lack ortunities, and just is happening to our young people , our lack oftunities, and just is happening to our young people , our lack of voice. 5, and just to our lack of voice. So to be clear, this was an opportunity to discuss, male pupils not being able to go into female pupils toilets. It was an opportunity to talk about puberty blockers. It was an opportunity to talk about as many people would argue, the fundamental right of women fundamental basic right of women and girls and opportunity to do something about that. And that wasnt really discussed just today. I mean, as a as a female yourself and as an athlete yourself, how does that make you feel . Feel . I mean, its been a battle. You know, ive been trying to get womens sport back for women since 2015. And weve had some really good days and some, some really good days and some, some really bad days. We have been moving in the right direction, but theres still 60 sports here in the uk that dont protect the female athletes. Know, female athletes. You know, sports cricket, world sports like cricket, where world cricket the ecb cricket does. But the ecb doesnt. We have 50 trans identifying males in womens englands fa, a large proportion of those in goal because thats where they have the biggest advantage being taller and more dynamic obviously. And we have young not being young girls that are not being able make teams. We have able to make teams. We have a Yorkshire League of 6000 girls that been threatened by the that have been threatened by the fa if they dont let a boy that identifies as a girl play with the team and with league. The team and with the league. They cancel the whole they will cancel the whole league. Boy is more league. So one boy is more important 6000 girls and important than 6000 girls and its so depressing that its just so depressing that were in this place, you know that none of the science, you know, points to the fact that you can remove male puberty advantage every single piece of Peer Reviewed science ever in the world shows us we cant do that. We cant level the biological field. Biological playing field. Just find it remarkable i just find it remarkable that starmer from that keir starmer can go from not being able to define what a woman is to saying, you can define 99 of a woman to saying that wants to ban thing that he wants to ban the thing that he wants to ban the thing that be spoken that was going to be spoken aboutin that was going to be spoken about in parliament today. You know, he seemed like he was going on board with it. Going to be on board with it. And then comes to and then when push comes to shove, mps prevented shove, labour mps prevented a debate on the new law to protect children single sex spaces children and single sex spaces because wanted because they wanted to talk about name what about ferret name choices. What would your your message to the labour leader be . Do you think just you know, its time to stop talking and actually time to start doing . And everyone at home, you know, speak to your mp, say that you the equality you want the equality act clarified. Word sex clarified. You want the word sex to biological sex so that to mean biological sex so that here in the uk, we still have the ability to actually push through in the courts sex discrimination. Now discrimination. And right now its a really grey area and it seems as if we dont now, sharon, what the labour party will no doubt say is hang on a minute. This was a very important discussion about Animal Rights. How would you respond to that . I love animals, ive got lots of animals two dogs, cat, you name it. Im not sure that name it. But im not sure that 15 minutes on ferrets is anywhere safe guarding our anywhere near safe guarding our children. I really dont, and im sure any sensible person would agree with that, theres id say a rabies is a vitally important issue and that it must be it must be dealt with. I suppose the question is, is it more important than, young girls not having to go to the toilet next to a bloke . Yeah and you know what was really interesting, as well as i was listening today to, you know, to yourself and, and different radio stations, they were radio stations, and they were talking about number of mps talking about a number of mps that evidence from that were given evidence from parents saying parents who were saying that young going school young girls were going to school now, not drinking, now, and theyre not drinking, theyre any fluids on theyre not taking any fluids on either breakfast because theyre not taking any fluids on eithedont breakfast because theyre not taking any fluids on eithe dont want|kfast because theyre not taking any fluids on eithe dont want theyre acause theyre not taking any fluids on eithe dont want theyre scared they dont want theyre scared of into the sex of going into the mixed sex toilets because the boys are in there and urinating all over the place, and they dont feel comfortable , or theyve got comfortable, or theyve got cameras in there, you know, and girls just dont. Young girls dont just go to bathrooms to go to the toilet. They have other intimate things they do intimate things they have to do intimate things they have to do in and really in there. And its a really difficult time of for difficult time of life for everybody. Particularly everybody. But its particularly difficult girls , i difficult for young girls, i think, when theyve got all of those new bodily going those new bodily functions going on, and the last thing they want to do, you know, is to share to do, you know, is, is to share those spaces with boys. Those spaces with with boys. Is example, isnt but this is an example, isnt it . I think talk weve been it . I think we talk weve been speaking a lot in weeks speaking a lot in recent weeks about a lot of the about mob rule, and a lot of the time been due whats time thats been due to whats been going on saturdays and been going on on saturdays and whats the kind of protests over the situation the palestine situation has been, and whats been happening outside houses. Outside mps offices and houses. I form of i think theres another form of mob goes on sometimes, mob rule that goes on sometimes, and with as i call and that is with the, as i call them sometimes the trans mafia, which that you make them which is that if you make them very angry, then you end up copping load stick. There copping a load of stick. There is an election coming up some is an election coming up at some point. Okay and the labour party likes to box people off now. Theyve lost a quite a large section of their traditional muslim it were. So the muslim vote as it were. So the other section that they can really go is, you know, the really go for is, you know, the old stuff, right . They can old lgbt stuff, right . They can really that if really hammer that home. If theyd come today and theyd have come out today and back and debated it and back this and debated it and rammed they rammed it through, they would have probably support. Have probably lost that support. Do you think the labour party, though, is sacrificing, you know, all of this . Yeah, all of the were sacrificing women, which is a huge number of voters, isnt it. But actually we also know, you know, through through decades of evidence that actually the majority of young people that have gender dysphoria, if theyre just given therapy , they theyre just given therapy, they come out the other side of, of puberty and they are just young gay kids, you know, that have stressful anxiety. They have issues, you know, they may even have homophobic parents. Okay. And so they just dont know how to deal with this. And what were doing at the moment is were doing at the moment is were trancing away the gay in a lot of and were putting lot of cases, and were putting kids on puberty blockers, which is off label. It has terrible side effects. Then were side effects. And then were moving them on to cross sex hormones, which also has terrible effects. And the terrible side effects. And the reason is twofold that speak reason is twofold that i speak out. One is obviously, i saw, you know, east german era of you know, the east german era of unfair sport , and that was unfair sport, and that was putting young through male putting young girls through male puberty advantage puberty and the huge advantage that over 20 years that they had for over 20 years totally and the other totally dominated. And the other one is that damage that i one is that the damage that i saw was done to female one is that the damage that i saw byrvas done to female one is that the damage that i saw byrvas dohigh female one is that the damage that i saw byrvas dohigh levelse bodies by these high levels of testosterone, i know several testosterone, and i know several east german swimmers that have died in their 20s and their 30s and, know, and its and, you know, and its horrendous what it did to their health. So we know that were going to have a very big price tag to following, you know, w pass very un medically Peer Reviewed advice. You know, this reviewed advice. You know, this was trans activists that have managed to get themselves into position where the National Health service taking this Health Service was taking this advice goodness, just advice and thank goodness, just recently, you know, theyve turned were turned around and said, were not anymore. Weve not doing that anymore. So weve had wins recently. We had some good wins recently. We need massive , open, need to have massive, open, honest, based debate. And honest, fact based debate. And thats what we have. This is it. And, you know, look , the labour party again look, the labour party again will say exactly what they have said. Were having a very said. We were having a very important discussion about Animal Rights and all of that stuff. Okay, mean, animal stuff. And okay, i mean, Animal Rights are important. Im an animal im pretty sure animal lover. Im pretty sure the majority are. So the vast majority of us are. So theres no question about that. But question but there is a question about, were were not were you or were you not deliberately. Think all deliberately. And i think we all know deliberately know the answer. Deliberately trying this debate. Know the answer. Deliberately tryinwhen this debate. Know the answer. Deliberately tryinwhen it this debate. Know the answer.

The second is when much of the country is going to the polls for local elections. The polls for local elections. So rumours have circulated that both be held at both elections will be held at the same time to avoid sending you all to ballot twice , you all to the ballot box twice, but twice you shall go. Labour has said the move by the Prime Minister means he is running scared and, quote , squatting in scared and, quote, squatting in downing street. And not the only ones opinion either. Ones with that opinion either. Have at this. For yeah, i have a look at this. For yeah, i mean , presumably they are just mean, presumably they are just card carrying labour members. But anyway. Okay. Clucking mad but anyway. Okay. Clucking mad if you ask me, are here to discuss this. Pecking away at the Prime Minister is my wonderful panel. Thank you very much. They are back at it, arent they. So. Right. Should arent they. So. Right. Should we just have a general election, alex . Well, look, i, i think the toy should get it over and done with. I dont know what theyre going to do between now and any election in november or january election in november orjanuary or any other time. I do think they should just it over and they should just get it over and done the prime done with. Obviously, the Prime Minister himself minister is giving himself as much possible. I much scope as possible. I wouldnt rule out january wouldnt even rule out january at point, patrick, i at this point, patrick, but i mean, think the country mean, look, i think the country wants change. I think wants some change. I think theyre the tories have had had a it, but i dont see a pop at it, but i dont see whats okay. Well, look, last night on this show night we revealed on this show that placed sources night we revealed on this show that us placed sources night we revealed on this show that us here placed sources night we revealed on this show that us here onlaced sources night we revealed on this show that us here on gb ad sources night we revealed on this show that us here on gb newsirces night we revealed on this show that us here on gb news that told us here on gb news that seven more of no seven more letters of no confidence went in last confidence went in in the last 24 hours. Confidence went in in the last 24 wers. Confidence went in in the last 24 we obviously dont know how we obviously dont know how many to now , but many that takes it to now, but it clearly seems like theres quite in there. Also quite a few in there. Weve also seen pressure on seen today massive pressure on rishi his smoked rishi sunak to ditch his smoked ban, the same smoking ban that formed one of the two pillars of his ridiculously lightweight hate speech at tory party conference. Weve just had the budget which included naff all john, you cant go to the people with this. Well, youve got to certainly as far as concerned , he as far as hes concerned, he hes got one big power left which is choosing the date of the election. How should he play that card will be obviously for everyone at westminster and elsewhere for a test of his leadership. Does he get any advantage just by the fact that he is the one that decides . Yes, because if he can imply that the election could come in may, what does that do for labour . Well, labour has got to get its its all its positions, right. Its got to virtually find its manifesto now. He can he can do what he likes about that. But he wants to get labour up there with as many proposals as possible because it gives him more play with. So with all more to play with. So with all these things, just think of the politics of it and the politics are simple. Can you try and flush out labour so that they reveal all their plans and they give details, and we can spend more time attacking them . More time attacking them . All right. And joanna, sorry about this. Before i go to you, im going to try and introduce my on this. Now, we can my guest on this. Now, if we can just, sean woodward, the former labour Northern Ireland labour mp on Northern Ireland secretary under tony blair. Thank very sean. Great thank you very much, sean. Great to have you on the show, do you think that apparently october the 10th, apparently october the 10th is going to be the date for this election . Do you think it will be, i think it will certainly be in the autumn, whether its october the 10th, my feeling is that people are much more. Yeah. All right. Sorry, guys. Im going to. Im going to crash out of that, im afraid. Sorry, sean. We hear you. Joanna sean. We cant hear you. Joanna october the 10th. Well, i think the october the 10th long. Like 10th is too long. I feel like were way overdue an were massively, way overdue an election. Were massively, way overdue an elecweve got rishi sunak, who that weve got rishi sunak, who i dont believe anybody voted for. Kind of just slid in for. He kind of just slid in there, like, in the background, so , yeah, i think the october so, yeah, i think the october the 10th is way overdue. Okay. All right. And alex, ill just knock it a bit. Ill just knock it on a bit. Now, one of the other topics i was sean, about was going to talk, sean, about was going to talk, sean, about was this labour up was this labour cosying up to the comes the European Union when it comes to defence. Apparently they to defence. So apparently they want up an uk want to draw up an eu, uk defence emmanuel defence pact. But Emmanuel Macrons blocking the thing. I mean, there actually a good mean, there is actually a good quote a labour source quote here from a labour source which says senior Party Figures hope open the hope that doing so will open the door more cooperation in door for more cooperation in other eu , other areas. Back in the eu, isnt it. Well, yeah. I mean its no surprise. Mean, know the surprise. I mean, we know the labour stance on the labour party stance on the european we know what labour party stance on the eurormembers we know what labour party stance on the eurormembers won now what labour party stance on the eurormembers won morevhat their members stance on more importantly, keir starmer is a big European Union. Big fan of the European Union. Hes extensively for the hes worked, extensively for the echr that thats echr himself, not that thats eu, you know, similar, eu, but, you know, similar, similar institutions. So i mean, im surprised. Im not im not surprised. Im not surprised. Fact, the french surprised. In fact, the french having with common having the ones with common sense, no, sense, theyre saying, no, you guys part of our union guys are not part of our union anymore. Me. But no anymore. Surprises me. But no shocks there, patrick, frankly. And, thats what going and, thats what youre going to be voting for. Probably because need them probably because we need them more need us for. More than what they need us for. Now, were scrambling get now, were scrambling to get some pact. Now, were scrambling to get sonalso pact. Now, were scrambling to get sonalso , pact. Now, were scrambling to get sonalso , whatict. Now, were scrambling to get sonalso , what were trying to do also, what were trying to do is get away from quite a long penod is get away from quite a long period of them being unpleasant, frankly, right, were frankly, of saying, right, were going to pay, were going to we are going to punish you. And are going to punish you. And theres no doubt that in many areas realise that without areas they realise that without british interests in defence, finance, all sorts of areas, europe is weakened and Emmanuel Macron realises this. The germans are obviously not very keen on the whole idea of european security. The european security. The hunganans european security. The hungarians wouldnt have any part of it, so its a question really, what is in our interest . Our interest, of course, is to improve relations with our neighbours. It does not mean going back to the European Union, and we were never part of the euro. So just calm down on that side of it. We need relationships. We do have nato. Nato is a very powerful organisation. Very powerful organisation. We do strengthen it. We do strengthen it. Ive got ive got a lot coming up in the next hour. Im going to tell you all it. Going to tell you all about it. Now. Concerns growing in now.

Former Prime Minister liz truss has accused labour of preventing a debate on her bill, which seeks to ban transgender women from female only spaces and prevent them from competing in womens sports. It was due to be sports. It was due to be discussed in the commons today, but mps appeared to waste time to delay her debate. She told gb news that she was frustrated by the opposition parties stalling tactics. Tactics. My bill has been stopped today from being debated by the labour party and i am absolutely furious about that. They dont even want to talk about the importance of recognising biological sex. They dont want to talk about how we stop children being able to access puberty blockers that would actually stop their development, so they have spent today filibustering my bill and stopping it being talked about, even though over the last few weeks i have had a huge amount of public support from concerned parents, concerned teachers from young people themselves who want these bills, measures put into law. Meanwhile, labour has accused the Prime Minister of being too chicken to call an election. In. Chicken to call an election. In. As a result, a group of activists dressed as chickens clucked outside downing street demanding the Prime Minister name the date. Now, labour added. Rishi sunak needs to stop squatting in number 10. In other news, voting is underway in russia to elect the countrys next president. But the first day has been marked by disruptions, including dye being poured into ballot boxes and a molotov cocktail being thrown at a polling station in putins hometown. Ballots are being cast over three days, even though Vladimir Putin is all but certain to win. Vladimir putin is all but certain to win. Police say certain to win. Police say theyve contacted the families of 35 people whose remains were recovered as part of an investigation into a funeral parlour in yorkshire.

Com slash alerts now its back to. Patrick. Its back to. Patrick. An imam found to be an extremist preacher by the high court is still being visited by local primary School Children at his mosque. Shakeel baig helped prompt the governments new extremist crackdown. He reportedly told muslims that violence in support of islam would constitute a mans greatest deed. He was actually named by michael gove in parliament as being one of the most significant extremists on the list. Remarkably, he appears to still be in post at Lewisham Islamic Centre and their website boasts that they welcome pupils from nearby schools on at least six occasions in 2022 and 2023. Perhaps even more remarkably, he continued to work with the met police even after being labelled an extremist, taking part in a multi faith breakfast. He shared a platform in 2013 with Jeremy Corbyn in the days following the lee rigby killing in spite of the fact that the killers came from the mosque where he was imam, the fact that his imam, and the fact that his mosque has a long history of hosting hate preachers. This is according to Henry Jackson according to the Henry Jackson society, concerning lee. Hes credited with converting thousands of brits to islam, and actually theyve made videos of him talking about it. Here it is in the last, lets say, year or so. Maybe the bulk of those who have become muslims are actually white english. Mr begg maintains that he condemns terrorism and extremism and did not encourage violence. And did not encourage violence. But it raises a bigger question, i think, about what is going on in some uk mosques. A preacher at the islamic Bradford Centre conducted friday prayers for the purification of the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem, a revered centrepiece of the islamic world, against the, quote, filth of the jews. Thats according to the mail. The mail also has a record of a friday service at the london borough of redbridges islamic centre, dunng redbridges islamic centre, during which an unnamed speaker told the congregation in arabic, cursed the jews and the children of israel , cursed the infidels, of israel, cursed the infidels, tear them apart and destroy their homes. As at leeds their homes. As at Leeds Al Rahma centre on friday, october the 20th, umar muqaddam, a former teacher in saudi arabia, criticised reporting of the hamas israel conflict and said those fighting against israel were not terrorists. He israel were not terrorists. He said it is wajib obligatory in islamic jurisprudence that you help aid , bring victory to our help aid, bring victory to our brothers and sisters in palestine, prepare against your enemies, military power and cavalry. Its all very modern, this stuff, isnt it . The important point here is this Michael Goves definition of extremism would stop government funding taxpayers money, going to people like this. All right. The school at Lewisham Islamic Centre, by the way, was apparently sent hundreds of thousands of pounds in government grants before it closed in 2019. But gove does nothing to actually stop them saying this stuff. All right. It doesnt do anything to actually stop the real issue, which is people being poisoned with what many people may think is radical rhetoric. Again, i will stress the Lewisham Islamic Centre. Mr begg, they categorically deny engaging in radicalisation or doing anything dangerous whatsoever. They deny that wholeheartedly misses the point for me. Rishi sunak and michael gove think extremism in britain has got so bad that they needed to do something about it. He stood outside downing street. Stood outside downing street. What theyve chosen to do is just window dressing. They might find that all theyve done is rearrange the decking on the jihadi titanic. Lets get the thoughts of my panel i have got tonight. Political commentator alex armstrong. Ive got ex bbc political chief John Sergeant and apprentice finalist and entrepreneur Joanna Jarjue. Entrepreneur Joanna Jarjue. Alex, i will start with you. So youve got individuals like that there who reportedly, despite being on the clusters and extremist kids are being brought to the mosque and theres allegations that maybe could be poisoning their minds. He would deny all of this, of course. What do you think . Well, its pretty clear that he has been in some way his his job there to talk job as imam there is to talk about view on islam , which about his view on islam, which in my opinion is not only radical, its extreme. Missed radical, its extreme. Missed the fact that this has been only acknowledged now is really concerning because i suspect hes one of many people that are in this position. I dont think hell be the only person. And to have taxpayer money go towards this radicalisation of young people who are brought up in what is possibly the most liberal society in the world and whats what were going to see is a whole generation now of young people who have listened to this man speak and will will buy into his views and they are the future of this country because theyre born here. Theyre british people and this is what were where were funding. This is what our taxpayer funding. Taxpayer money is funding. People like that do you think people like that should to should be allowed to preach to children . Honour. Children . Do, your honour. Think that it depends well, i think that it depends what say. Actually what they say. And im actually finding difficult to, finding it quite difficult to, decipher, government decipher, what the government actually in terms actually mean in terms of extremism, because obviously actually mean in terms of extrextreme3ecause obviously actually mean in terms of extrextreme enough obviously actually mean in terms of extrextreme enough forfiously actually mean in terms of extrextreme enough for us|sly actually mean in terms of extrextreme enough for us to its extreme enough for us to not give you money, but its not extreme enough for the police to do about and do anything about it. And theres contradictions, theres a lot of contradictions, actually, story, actually, with this story, because themselves because the police themselves have guy and said have supported this guy and said that a principal stance that hes had a principal stance against is the against prevent, which is the counter programme. So counter extremism programme. So you cant have it both ways. So id like to know whether its the he says things the fact that he says things that obviously make us feel uncomfortable arent, you uncomfortable and arent, you know, aligned lot of our know, aligned with a lot of our views, actually views, but is it actually dangerous and also, when you dangerous . And also, when you look at it from the side, look at it from the other side, do from the right say do people from the right say things are equally things that are equally dangerous, know, you dangerous, that, you know, you wouldnt dangerous, that, you know, you woul appear to be a heck of a lot more of the radical islamist rhetoric, you know, calling for, you know, the death to whoever and fatwas being put out and all of this stuff. And my concern , of this stuff. And my concern, john, would be, again, ill emphasise lewisham emphasise that the Lewisham Islamic Centre and mr begg himself would obviously deny being part of any kind of radicalisation and all of that. I few different i put together a few different examples there of a few different centres, and i just wonder whether or not the proper action from the government, the brave action, but the proper action be to say, all action will be to say, all right, we are going to be going into mosques and seeing whats being said in here. No, i agree with that. I mean, i think its should be perfectly straightforward a perfectly straightforward in a way. Evidence, use the way. Collect evidence, use the law. But but i way. Collect evidence, use the law. But but i think to be distracted by this argument about what is extremism makes it much more complicated. And at some point well be challenged in the courts. When i was a when i was a student, i demonstrated against the americans in vietnam. I demonstrated against apartheid south africa. Now, apartheid in south africa. Now, for lots of people, people like me were extremists. Yes. So do me were extremists. Yes. So do we go on being extremists . Am i labelled an extremist of the 1960s . No. Im now absolutely mainstream, normal person. But mainstream, normal person. But in those days, this challenged authority in quite a radical way. Do you think . What . And is there not a difference here, though . I mean, i mean, what youre what youre hearing from some of the examples there presumably is, is you know, you would admit is, is you know, you would admit is like much more extreme. Is like much more extreme. Oh, its, its very extreme. And point is that what and the point is that what youve got to do is to not worry too much about the labels. Just say, it inciting the public . Say, is it inciting the public . Is hate speech, all these is it hate speech, all these various things which weve got laws against . And yes , get laws against . And yes, get evidence charge them. You evidence and charge them. You know, but dont know, its clearly but dont worry too much about saying im not sure whether the government ought to be meeting these people. No, theyre acting in front of us. And can i just make one more quick point . What people are saying is you must treat everyone as equal under the law. Everyone as equal under the law. If you start saying, but but im going to treat you differently because youre a muslim extremist, youre then in trouble. Were getting into trouble. Were getting into that, that straight away, that problem. Look, alex, we had in the wake of the october the 7th, we had parents taking their kids out of school so they could go on some marches. We also, i spoke last night to one of the representatives of five pillars, which, in case people arent aware, is a, i would probably describe it as quite a hardline muslim publication, who said even if they had been on goves extremist watchlist to deny them government funding, they thought their actual funding will go up because people will continue to donate to them. Youve got donate to them. And youve got Teachers Want to teachers who clearly want to take schoolchildren the take their schoolchildren to the lewisham , all Lewisham Islamic Centre, all right, where this guy is. And theyve got a pretty fruity track record. When it comes to extremism, there a major extremism, there is a major problem this country. Problem in this country. Is. And look, lets yes there is. And look, lets just the crux of the just get to the crux of the issue the problem is there issue here. The problem is there issue here. The problem is there is a cultural conflict between some of extremist islamic some of these extremist islamic values what britain stands values and what britain stands for. And we have imported that problem in our country over decades. And now the problem we have is how do you write laws that treat People Fairly , that that treat People Fairly, that say, you can say this, but you cant say this because it should. Laws should always treat people equally. They should never discriminate. So we have a problem the imported problem where the imported extremism of certain religious fanaticism is in our country. How do you how do the government actually write laws about this . They need to actually take some responsibility , because some responsibility, because theres a reason why these people taking their kids out of school putting them, school and putting them, you know, saturday Schools School and putting them, you knwhatever saturday Schools School and putting them, you knwhatever withaturday Schools School and putting them, you kn whatever with this ay Schools School and putting them, you knwhatever with this imam,ols or whatever with this imam, because they almost if because they almost feel as if they to reiterate their they have to reiterate their religion in the strongest way because they feel under attack a lot time and theyre on lot of the time and theyre on the whereas we the defence. Whereas if we actually having a actually worked on having a better cohesive, you know, Tolerant Society rather than having this side and that side, no. But the government really fuelled the culture wars a lot. And actually they do these people a favour by helping them radicalise other people because they almost feel as if. Right. Well, its us and them , you well, its us and them, you know, were the people that are always deemed as always kind of deemed as whatever. Might well whatever. So we might as well just act that way and show just act in that way and show how we are our religion. Well, of course, people should can be dedicated to their religion. But theres going religion. But then theres going above and hating above and beyond and hating other people on their other people based on their religion, on their race, religion, based on their race, based colour. You based on their skin colour. You know, perpetuating know, thats a perpetuating problem. Because problem. You cant say because someones been extreme to me, im going to respond extreme. Thats what saying. Well, thats what im saying. But justifying im but im not justifying it. Im not know. Right. Not saying i know. Right. Saying but my point is im saying but my point is that assimilation in that assimilation has failed in many because many parts of the uk because there been by there hasnt been an attempt by any government to actually integrate people. Its saying, okay, if youre part of this community, its absolutely fine. If millions of people or thousands people the thousands of people live in the same those same area and perpetuate those values, will get values, and you will get a radical person amongst those groups, plan careful groups, is the plan careful about which to be about laws which appear to be aimed at one particular group . Thats all im saying. Thats all im saying. Absolutely agree. I absolutely agree trouble. I completely with you, i completely agree with you, john. Away. John. Trouble straight away. I completely agree with you. I though about that i do wonder though about that because thats thats that side of it, isnt you cant of it, isnt it . You cant really have laws that are aimed of it, isnt it . You cant retobviouslyaws that are aimed of it, isnt it . You cant retobviously aimed at are aimed of it, isnt it . You cant retobviously aimed at ioneiimed or obviously aimed at one element one of the element or one part of the community. Then if the community. But then if the threat is obviously predominantly of predominantly coming from one of charge, more who you ask what charge, more who you ask of what the take action. The the threat take action. The government and the intelligence service. But the thing is, patrick, the the government, the problem. Say that coming from you say that its coming from another know that, another area. They know that, especially particular government. Do you honestly can i mean, do you honestly can i just ask you genuinely do you honestly think right now in this country, main threat is not country, the main threat is not islamist terrorism . Saying that its not. Im not saying that its not. But is that but what im saying is that you also to consider that when also have to consider that when the government are going ahead with any type of with any plans or any type of rhetoric, they know what works for campaigns. Okay. But for their campaigns. Okay. But just quickly, just quickly, i just quickly, just quickly, i just bring in a just want to bring in a statement Lewisham Council statement from Lewisham Council and us to respond off it. So Lewisham Council spokesperson work with spokesperson said we work with organisations which engage with the groups within the many different groups within our faith our community and faith organisations all kinds are organisations of all kinds are a very part of that. Very important part of that. There significant number there are significant number of muslims lewisham the muslims in lewisham and the Lewisham Islamic Centre, as a body efforts to body supports our efforts to increase sustain community increase and sustain community cohesion.

So coming up, oil have been up up, Just Stop Oil have been up to usual tricks, with to their usual tricks, with Members Group being members of the group being arrested posting a letter arrested for posting a letter through the door of the home of one labour mp. Ill show you the video of that unfolding. It is absolutely bonkers. Like even by their standards , its absolutely their standards, its absolutely bonkers. Coming up, bonkers. But coming up, tomorrows pages are on tomorrows front pages are on the way. Ill get the reaction from the panel next, though serious questions are being raised how new temporary raised over how new temporary homes cardiff are going to be homes in cardiff are going to be used. Local are used. Some local residents are worried that Asylum Seekers and refugees are going to move in. Yes, interesting story yes, very interesting story this. You in a sec welcome back. Now, questions are being raised about how temporary homes that are being built in cardiff will be used. Now, its cardiff will be used. Now, its been claimed that a former gas site in grangetown will house refugees who are currently residing nearby at a Migrant Hotel. Potentially others as well. 155 properties hotel. Potentially others as well. 155 properties paid for by the taxpayer are soon to be available at the site. Now, locals in the area have expressed concerns that this will be used to accommodate Asylum Seekers refugees at the taxpayers expense, when of course there is, like most places, a housing crisis. Cardiff Councils Website reads this the new modular homes will help to alleviate pressures on local Homelessness Services and increase the availability of temporary accommodation, offering a mix of 1 to 4 bedroom properties. Well, a citizen journalist has been to the site and claims to have spoken with several People Living at a local Margaret Hotel. People hanging around at the site as well, builders working at the site who say that they have been told that Asylum Seekers and refugees will be moving in. Here is a clip from an interview with one man who is reportedly from sudan , being told or youre waiting on a modular to be given to you here. Yeah, to move me here. Yeah, to move me here. To move you here. To move you here. Okay. All right. Dan morgan joins me now. Dan, thank you very much. Great to have you on the show , so yeah. What do you the show, so yeah. What do you think is going on there . You were down there today and this is quite a big site. Well, what do thinks happening it. Do you thinks happening to it. Seen lots of yeah. So weve seen lots of videos about this thing going on. So we needed to go down and see it for ourselves. And immediately when you walk around you residents you can see the residents who are coming in out of the of are coming in and out of the of the sort of things that the chalet sort of things that are already there. Clear that theyre and its clear that theyre not, you know, welsh homeless people. We carried on walking around, spoke to a lot of the builders who were around the site who all said exactly the same thing. Yes, these are all going to for be and then we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe and then we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy and then we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy in and then we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy in the then we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy in the clip we spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy in the clip that spoke yes, these are all going to for bethe guy in the clip that you e to the guy in the clip that you see there whos currently staying in the one the hotels staying in the one of the hotels nearby, hes on the list, nearby, and hes on the list, and hes due to move in in the next two weeks. Three weeks. Hes from sudan. Hes from sudan. His friend, who was already on the complex, is from ethiopia and words were that theyre and his words were that theyre going to be here from pakistan, afghanistan and eritrea from everywhere. That was his exact words. So from what weve seen words. So from what weve seen from being down there, this is just another way that the Welsh Government are going to be used or are going to be storing these people for process. Its interesting. Its interesting because look , you interesting because look, you went down there, now thats what you you saw and you heard we went to Cardiff Council. Right . So the contrast, by the way, between what you said and what they said is remarkable. So Cardiff Council says thats completely the is completely untrue. The site is for People Housing for people on our housing waiting is not waiting list. It is not a Refugee Centre. We went also went to them as well and said all right, okay, so its not a Refugee Centre , but are people Refugee Centre, but are people from the local Migrant Hotel going to be there . We couldnt really get much out of them. They just saying its going they were just saying its going to used the housing to be used to ease the housing crisis. You know, it might be crisis. You know, it might be a mixed site, etc. I mean, do you do you believe what they say there . You buy that . There . Do you buy that . Know, weve got a no. You know, weve got a long track record with councils lying to us. Lied about stradey park they lied about Stradey Park Hotel, well, hotel, which you covered. Well, they penally , which they lied about penally, which was pembrokeshire, the army was in pembrokeshire, the army barracks. The barracks. They lied about the dragon hotel in swansea. You know, to remember the know, youve got to remember the Welsh Government are so determined hide truth determined to hide the truth that nearly that theyre spending nearly a quarter of million to block quarter of £1 million to block gb the centre. So you gb news from the centre. So you know, its no stranger to them telling little lies because it keeps the calm, because we see what happens at Stradey Park Hotel when the truth comes out. Well, what i will say is, look, obviously the Welsh Government, mean, we did to government, i mean, we did go to them for comment, but theyre not defend themselves. Not here to defend themselves. Now. Did ask if anyone now. We also did ask if anyone from cardiff wanted to from Cardiff Council wanted to come on. Theyre not here ehhen either. Okay, so presumably they will they lying, will deny that they were lying, etc. That i imagine be etc. That would i imagine be their but why would it their view. But why would it matter . Lets say this is a mixed site, right . And its 155 properties or ranging properties or so ranging between, i think and four between, i think one and four bedrooms. Know, why would bedrooms. You know, why would it matter some of that went to matter if some of that went to some people the margaret some people in the Margaret Hotel . Mean, ive spoken hotel . I mean, ive spoken to you about, know, you before about, you know, protesting hotels protesting about Migrant Hotels or if meant that or etc. So if this meant that people go of that hotel and people go out of that hotel and into site, would that into this site, why would that why that matter to you . Into this site, why would that wthell that matter to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , that matter to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , its at matter to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , its not|atter to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , its not as er to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , its not as if to you . Into this site, why would that wthell , its not as if there u . Well, its not as if there isnt a homeless problem in wales. All you need to wales already. All you need to do around just cardiff do is walk around just cardiff city you could fill city centre and you could fill them houses with with people city centre and you could fill therknow houses with with people city centre and you could fill therknow ,ouses with with people city centre and you could fill therknow , without th with people city centre and you could fill therknow , without fail. Ith people city centre and you could fill therknow , without fail. If people city centre and you could fill therknow , without fail. If we ople you know, without fail. If we didnt have a problem and it could be used for processing to then, you know, hopefully reject or confirm their status, then that wouldnt be so bad. But the issue is, is that there is a massive , homelessness problem in massive, homelessness problem in wales and theres also a lot of people who are desperate to get properties who may be living with parents or looking to upgrade two bedroom, upgrade to get a two bedroom, three house, which they three bedroom house, which they simply get properties simply cant get any properties because just a small because this is just a small part. The Welsh Government are also going to landlords, private landlords trying to get their properties rent it properties so they can rent it to off the migrants as well. So its not as if we havent got our own shortages of housing and our own shortages of housing and our own shortages of housing and our own problem with homelessness and thats what we should be focusing on. Dan, thank you yeah. Look, dan, thank you very, on. Very, very much coming on. And thank know, thank you for, you know, highlighting particular highlighting this particular issue as well. And, you know, its all very well and good. Cardiff council i will reiterate they completely they say thats completely untrue. This site is for people on our housing waiting list. Its not Refugee Centre. Yeah its not a Refugee Centre. Yeah okay look its something okay i think look its something to watch isnt it. Well find out wont we . Exactly whos living there in the coming weeks and coming months and see and coming months and well see then suppose, side of then, i suppose, which side of it indeed accurate. Look. It is indeed accurate. Look. Coming up. Just stop oil. Ive been up to their usual tricks , been up to their usual tricks, with members of the group being arrested letter arrested for posting a letter through the door of the home of one mp. Ill show you one labour mp. Ill show you quite bizarre video of that unfolding. Got all unfolding. But next ive got all of tomorrows front of tomorrows newspaper front pages right here in the pages for you right here in the most paper review most entertaining paper review anywhere on telly, apart from arguably comes arguably the one that comes after headlines, news. Okay. Welcome back. Its time now to bring you tomorrows news. Tonight. Ive got the front pages here. Lets do it. Front pages here. Lets do it. The independent first race row mp refused to go on anti semitism course to rejoin laboun anti semitism course to rejoin labour. So as senior Party Figures pushed for diane abbott to regain the party whip after the tory donor racism storm. The independent has been told that diane abbott turned down the chance as she didnt want to attend anti semitism awareness training, so , you know, i training, so, you know, i certainly inevitability about that. I suppose. But there it is. The daily mail plot to crown mordaunt as Prime Minister and exclusive tory mps on the right have held secret talks with moderates about replacing rishi with penny. Okay, i think well with penny. Okay, i think well be focusing on that shortly. Lets go to the daily star. Lets go to the daily star. Mystery of the rampant beavers. Damned know how they got damned if we know how they got here. Hey, unexpected beavers in the cornwall area. Experts have noidea the cornwall area. Experts have no idea why these damn fine animals are starting a family in places where theyve. Yeah never been before. Well, thats going to be on the agenda for days. The times church playing the race card equalities are race card x equalities are criticises the church of england slavery fund and says that britain is less divided than 40 years ago. The Daily Telegraph grief mercer faces jail over afghan inquiry. So Johnny Mercer faces the threat of prison for refusing to reveal the identities of special forces whistleblowers who raised concerns about the alleged execution of afghans. If that is execution of afghans. If that is the case, i expect that Johnny Mercer may well decide to go to jail over this rather than reveal the identities i think thats, thats where i can see him landing on it, right wing mps want mordant to oust the Prime Minister. Lets focus in on that. Ive obviously got my panel here of absolute newshounds. Time to have newshounds. Its time to have a look through the papers look through all of the papers with political commentator with them. Political commentator alex armstrong, apprentice finalist ex bbc , finalist Joanna Jarjue ex bbc, itv and itn political chief John Sergeant. And lets go, lets go sergeant. And lets go, lets go in with the telegraph on the mail. So this is apparently right wing conservative mps want leader of the house Penny Mordaunt to lead the tories into the next election. The mp for portsmouth north made a bid to run back in july 2022 following bofis run back in july 2022 following Boris Johnsons resignation. She also ran following liz trusss short tenure as Prime Minister, although she eventually withdrew. Alex, what do you have . Yeah, i mean, ive been in the pleasure of pennys company many times, her campaign has always been fantastic, shes a fantastic , mp. Shes a very, fantastic, mp. Shes a very, very popular in her constituency. And, you know, its a damn shame that they didnt put her front and centre before. I mean, she would have been smashing far higher in the polls now than rishi sunak or liz truss would have been by, by any, by any means to say that right wing conservative mps her, conservative mps back her, i think, bit of an odd angle. Think, is a bit of an odd angle. I wonder whether this is just a nonsense story. Frankly i think shes she appeals to more of the moderate Centre Ground tories, its highly likely that she will moderate Centre Ground tories, itsleader likely that she will moderate Centre Ground tories, itsleader of ely that she will moderate Centre Ground tories, itsleader of the that she will moderate Centre Ground tories, itsleader of the oppositionill moderate Centre Ground tories, itsleader of the opposition if be leader of the opposition if the tories lose the election, but she will not back out of government. Shes not going to collapse the government and shes not going to be that leading figure. Shes not going to be that lea this figure. Shes not going to be that lea this is|ure. Shes not going to be that lea this is|ureisnt it . And you this is it, isnt it . And you know yeah. I mean look john know it. Yeah. I mean look john in your in your view does sunak actually lead them into the next election. Yeah. No i mean i would have thought do you think its stupid actually. Like genuinely do you seem like find it baffling. Theres even talk of him doing that even talk of him not doing that well in normal times youd think i cant think of anything more stupid. You know , were months away you know, were months away from an election just months away. Behave like this is away. And to behave like this is suicidal. But then theyve been behaving in a suicidal way. On the conservative backbenchers for some months. I mean, you just wonder, who are these people . Are they serious . Are they simply roaming around . Are they simply roaming around . Are they are they are they going through some kind of personal crisis . Is it a psychological problem . But its certainly not a wave. Its not a wave. Its not a sort of political. If we do this, then we do that , then do this, then we do that, then we can do this. There are stupid. There are stupid. Theyre also setting themselves up to fail because why would you go against rishi sunak the people who were, you know, the Lee Andersons of the party, the suella bravermans, and that youre and then suggest that youre going him with going to replace him with somebody actually seems somebody who actually seems quite and was quite glad mordaunt. And i was quite glad when know, when they didnt, you know, choose leader. But then choose her as leader. But then again , if she comes in as again, if she comes in as leader, its funny because she doesnt that doesnt really have that much personality. Seems a personality. She seems like a perfectly if perfectly lovely woman. But if people call starmer dry, people call keir starmer dry, she holds the sword there. Im not saying that she doesnt perfectly very good at holding the sword, no. Shes perfectly , the sword, no. Shes perfectly, you know, capable. And shes been good in the house of commons, also so is keir commons, but also so is keir starmer, know, was starmer, who, you know, was a barrister. , absolutely. There is no way. Well, politics is going to be bonng well, politics is going to be boring if its keir starmer and Penny Mordaunt. You know, she seems lovely but cant just seems lovely but you cant just say is going on. Say something is going on. Because theyve got, yeah. Because theyve got, weve got, theyve a lot of weve got, theyve got a lot of panic going on. Yeah like panic is going on. Yeah like its on. Got reports its going on. Weve got reports yesterday letter yesterday seven letter no confidence in about confidence coming in about the Prime Minister. Know Prime Minister. We dont know how are. Youve how many more there are. Youve got meetings with got you know meetings with graham youve definitely graham brady. Youve definitely got got lost got a sense youve got lost his Armed Forces Minister today brandon yesterday. Armed forces minister today brandora yesterday. Armed forces minister today brandora of yesterday. Armed forces minister today brandora of yezjumping theres a load of them jumping off arent they. Yeah off the ship arent they. Yeah there definitely definitely there is definitely definitely something going. Its called crisis. Its called its called what called panic. Its called what do we do now. Its called headless chickens. Headless chickens. Those are those are the main rishi sunak rishi has the ultimate red button. He says, if you oust me, i call a general election tomorrow and its within his power. And do most tory mps want to have a general election tomorrow . I think a lot of them would rather wait, so i dont. Whilst these letters will keep coming in, i dont think therell be enough to reach the threshold because of threshold because most of them wont lose their wont want to lose their jobs earlier than they have to. I mean, yeah , i mean yeah, i mean, yeah, i mean it is, is, is depressing that is, it is, it is depressing that there so many different there are so many different aspects at moment in aspects wrong at the moment in this country that need urgent, urgent reform. Im not making a political statement there. I mean, they need they need reform, right . So we end up talking relentlessly about about some of this stuff, you know, are they going to oust him . Were going to do this. And in the meantime, know, we have the meantime, you know, we have a was just written the meantime, you know, we have a the was just written the meantime, you know, we have a the obr.

Et cetera, et cetera, anyway, different cetera, etc. Anyway, different story now. Lord sewell of sanderstead, say, sanderstead, easy for me to say, has the church of has criticised the church of englands slavery englands £1 billion slavery reparation that reparation fund. He said that britain is much less racist than it years ago. Lord it was 40 years ago. Lord sewell, the governments equality tsar, has claimed that the move the church of the move by the church of england political and done england was political and done just show. That is england was political and done just show. That is on england was political and done just show. That is on the just for show. That is on the front of the times tomorrow. So the church is, quote, playing the church is, quote, playing the race card. Alex your views. Yeah. Look, i mean, britain compensated by by what a lot of people dont know is that britain went on a massive Global Campaign to end the slave trade everywhere in the world. It cost us whether we started it or us 50, whether we started it or not. Is the is the intention to end it . Not as good as wanting to start well, slavery has to start it . Well, slavery has been on actually been going on for actually for generations. Been going on for actually for generatbut. Been going on for actually for generatbut in terms of the no. But in terms of the transatlantic slavery. Okay, but but hang on. But but what about the but what this is about the church anyway. Right. And whether this money what i would like for if the Church Turned around was like as part around and said was like as part of were going to put this of that, were going to put this money day slavery. Money into modern day slavery. There people in modern money into modern day slavery. The|slavery people in modern money into modern day slavery. The|slavery than eople in modern money into modern day slavery. The|slavery than there in modern money into modern day slavery. The|slavery than there ever odern money into modern day slavery. The|slavery than there ever have| day slavery than there ever have been slave trade. Back been in the slave trade. Back god knows when. And thats this is the its is is the problem. Its it is a virtue signalling and is the problem. Its it is a virt not ignalling and is the problem. Its it is a virt not going ng and is the problem. Its it is a virt not going to and is the problem. Its it is a virt not going to help and is the problem. Its it is a virt not going to help anybody. Its not going to help anybody. Restoration. You cant right. The reparations to say the its not reparations to say youre going to take the money and put it into another tijuana. Theyre not going to give it to every black either. To every black person either. Cant what you cant so you cant what you cant do is right the wrongs of the past. Simply say, oh, past. You cant simply say, oh, well, lets roll back several hundred then say, oh well, lets roll back several hunsoed then say, oh well, lets roll back several hunso and then say, oh well, lets roll back several hunso and so then say, oh well, lets roll back several hunso and so gained. An say, oh well, lets roll back several hunso and so gained. Butay, oh no, so and so gained. But so and so is good. He so and so is rather good. He refused to have a slave. Well, hang on a minute, john. Crazy. On a minute, crazy. Hang on a minute, john, was all right john, because it was all right for them write what the slave for them to write what the slave owners were debt owners lost. They were in debt from back the from having to pay back the slave because they slave owners because they apparently lost property, and they off they didnt actually finish off paying they didnt actually finish off paying that debt until 2015. So until can kind of until somebody can kind of explain to me that logic why its okay, youre also going to get to the point that 100 million is all the slaves who deliberately stayed on the plantations because they knew no other life. I mean, youre talking about a very distant time in history where the whole idea of youre a free slave, you can now become rich. Not necessarily. Youre a free. You can now travel. Free slave. You can now travel. Not necessarily. This is a very obviously complex issue that has affected so many different people, and youre never going be able to youre never going to be able to tick off every single descendant of accept that, but of a slave. I accept that, but also day, people are also in modern day, people are still hangover of still living off the hangover of slavery. Whether you were the kid a slave owner or the kid kid of a slave owner or the kid of an actual slave. So how is it that youve got people who were kids of slave owners still kids of slave owners are still living these stately homes, living in these stately homes, are still living off the generational wealth, and then youve that other divide, youve got that other divide, youve got that other divide, you might be able you know, it might not be able to, know, give reparations to, you know, give reparations to, you know, give reparations to think its to everybody. But i think its completely actually quite insulting for people to kind of say trying to right that say that trying to right that wrong is wrong. But the consultations have already said that 100 million isnt enough. No, its no. And its never going to enough. Its still something. Its still something thats something. Isaying, something thats something. Isaying, sonwell, g thats something. Isaying, sonwell, somebody something. I� gave], sonwell, somebody something. I� gave], soiivllls somebody something. I� gave], soiivllls charity. dy only gave a five. Its charity. Thats to actually thats not enough to actually solve whole problem. Its solve the whole problem. So its nothing. That the nothing. Its the fact that the intent there and the fact that theyre to the theyre trying to solve the issue the other side, as issue from the other side, as well as Million People were well as 25 Million People were killed in the second world war. So not the same. So that is not the same. No, no, but hold on a moment. All these things are very difficult. At the moment, difficult. If you at the moment, you saying, look, you start saying, look, people really suffered. How much did they should they suffer . How much should they suffer . How much should they is no end. Well, hang on a minute, john, because theyre actually talking about people from wealthy families directly families who have directly benefited the slave trade. Benefited from the slave trade. And some of families are and some of these families are volunteering themselves to say, hey, like, we have this lifestyle, we own all of this. About these, the what about all these, the labour of other people who made money people money out of the war, people what they want their own money . Like, i mean, you money . Like, i mean, if you want to give money to give away your money to it, to any cause, absolutely to any cause, its absolutely to down them. Couldnt, down them. I couldnt, i couldnt more with you on couldnt agree more with you on that however, know, that point. However, you know, im going waiting im still going to be waiting for reparations from the for my reparations from the romans this romans when they invaded this country. That you country. And yeah, that was you know, that was unfair. No its right. Its worth no its right. Its worth no its right. That. Come on. The equate that. Come on. The trans atlantic, many everybody. Who is it worth noting who is it not worth noting that that tony sewell is black. Right. Said that we need right. And he said that we need to have a conversation with the archbishop and ask what hes doing. It would be so much better to just focus on bringing people back to a time when the church was packed , i. E, that the church was packed, i. E, that the archbishop of canterbury should just bringing back to church. Those are words because it says that and is black does not mean that he speaks for the majority of black people. Isnt that who wrote the that the person who wrote the race the way . Yeah. So race report by the way . Yeah. So and majority the people and the majority of the people who that actually affected disagreed him. So obviously disagreed with him. So obviously its , you know, convenient, its very, you know, convenient, i person whos i will i will the person whos talking against i will say this, look, look, the church is an look, look, the church is, is an independent institution. Look, look, the church is, is an independedo institution. Look, look, the church is, is an independedo whatever|. Look, look, the church is, is an independedo whatever it wants it can do whatever it wants with money. But but with its money. Right. But but at the day, is this at the end of the day, is this going to help in any way, shape or bring people together . Or form . Bring people together . I think okay. No. I dont think it is. Okay. No. Also the church in and also the church is in desperate father was desperate straits. My father was a about what its a vicar. I know about what its like the church of like inside the church of england when its in decline. Its place. Ive its not a happy place. Ive just been that just been informed that apparently sewell is on gb apparently tony sewell is on gb news at 7 pm. On sunday, so set your alarm clock there. We go. Well be able to hear from the man himself. Maybe you could come on and debate him there. You go. Potentially tomorrow. No potentially tomorrow. No there we go. Yes, sunday. There go. Tony sewell, there we go. Tony sewell, gb news interview sunday just news interview this sunday just after yeah, there we after 7 pm. So yeah, there we go. Be able to it go. Well be able to hear it from the man himself. And now a little bit earlier we little bit earlier on we were discussing about something little bit earlier on we were discussthatsiout something little bit earlier on we were discussthats init something little bit earlier on we were discussthats in some ething little bit earlier on we were discussthats in some eththe thats, thats in some of the papers well. Which is papers as well. Today which is about truss. Put a motion about liz truss. Put a motion forward where she wanted to have a look at puberty blockers about, gender recognition in schools, and that was schools, etc, and that was filibustered by the labour party who wanted. And im not joking who wanted. And im not joking now to talk about ferrets. Okay and they relentlessly spoke about ferrets under the guise of caring deeply about Animal Rights for, for ages. And they ended up not getting round to talk about, i would argue, the rights women and girls as as rights of women and girls as as the only woman on this panel. I dont know how felt about that. Well, i think that its an important debate to but important debate to have, but at the you know, its the same time, you know, its difficult. Feel difficult. And i kind of feel like for especially liz truss, it almost seems as if shes using opportunity to kind of using any opportunity to kind of claw type of support , claw back some type of support, and i dont always think that its of actual concern its because of actual concern for women. And i hate when things this are, you know, things like this are, you know, weaponized certain weaponized by certain politicians just begging politicians who are just begging to limelight. To be back in the limelight. The difficulty, the difficulty, especially difficulty, i think especially for starmer on this, is for keir starmer on this, is that it was, i believe, earlier this week that he said he didnt want, essentially men in womens sports. Right. And that was quite a significant thing for the labour leader to say. And then we end up in a situation on a friday afternoon where his own mps are , are apparently blocking mps are, are apparently blocking some kind of discussion on this. And thats thats westminster, isnt it . If someone like liz truss hasnt got the idea that shes going to be collectively punished by the house of commons for what she did as Prime Minister as the worst british Prime Minister in modern shes not woken modern history. Shes not woken up. Shes got to wake up and realise she threw an awful lot away year. Away last year. Well, believe that we do well, i believe that we do have. Well, i believe that we do have. If you in case you just have. If you in case you just thought this was absolutely bonkers, do have a clip of bonkers, we do have a clip of some chat taking place in some ferret chat taking place in parliament, when arguably we should have been about should have been talking about whether a bloke can go whether or not a bloke can go to the same as a young girl i i i thought hm] i thought i would take the opportunity as it hasnt been taken many times during this session of parliament to actually talk about ferrets a little more. On april the 2nd National Ferret Day will be marked the risk of rabies from illegally. All right. All right. This alex i put to you is an example of what a Labour Government will be like where the leader can stand up and say one thing the wokies on the one thing and the wokies on the back benches him will back benches behind him will just do another thing. Its absolutely disgraceful. I so many issues i mean, theres so many issues affecting at affecting this country at the moment should be moment and mps should be particularly when its an issue about protecting about children and protecting women. The ones women. They should be the ones leading utterly leading this so utterly disgraceful whether disgraceful behaviour. Whether they or not, they like the bill or not, debate debate it. Are debate it, debate it. What are they scared why they they scared of . Why are they scared to it . Scared to debate it . Well get they do not well they get they do not want give. They do not want want to give. They do not want to oxygen to liz truss. To give oxygen to liz truss. Thats regardless the but thats regardless of the point. Disgraceful. Its still disgraceful. Its still disgraceful. Is called it that is called politics. It is get 600 odd is called if you get 600 odd people together, it is called mps. But does it make it right . But does it make it right . If they behave no, if they behave like no, no, no, youre youre right. No, youre right, youre right. Lose the right in a then you lose the right in a way, i know its politics, right . A pointless thing right . This is a pointless thing to but ill say it anyway. To say, but ill say it anyway. You kind of lose the right you then kind of lose the right to the moral ground, to have the moral high ground, dont when could dont you . When someone could just dont care about just say they dont care about moral ground, they just want. They m1 m a knife. They they want just a knife. They want knife, liz truss. They want a knife, liz truss. They want a knife, liz truss. They want her of the want to keep her out of the pubuc want to keep her out of the public they want public eye. They dont want her to they to to come back. They want to destroy thats politics. Destroy her. Thats politics. Spot right. Coming okay. This spot right.

She stood 46 commons was her. She stood up 46 times. Isnt about her times. And this isnt about her being woman. Its about being a black woman. Its about just woman being just being a woman and being given speak about given the voice to speak about something about her. Something thats about her. Yeah, with that. Yeah, i agree with that. Also, its quite clear and also, its quite clear whats is rishi whats happening is that rishi sunak managed put the sunak has managed to put the sort of clamps down on the on the speaker , the speaker knows the speaker, the speaker knows that he is, in fact, completely vulnerable in terms of rishi sunak can just simply say weve got to get rid of him. I agree, and so im afraid hes pandering i yeah, but does that not make it even more important to get rid of him if hes being so . Well, i know, but you need the as always.

A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Hello. Very good evening to you. Welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. For many of us, its actually going to turn chilly tonight. Could turn quite chilly tonight. Could be frost before some be a touch of frost before some rain arrives tomorrow. Thats in Association System association with a system waiting out in the atlantic. Before do have before that, though, we do have a of High Pressure a ridge of High Pressure building, thats going to building, and thats going to quieten weather down we quieten our weather down as we go end of the day. Go through the end of the day. So many of the daytime showers will and die out, will clear away and die out, leaving dry often leaving a mostly dry and often clear night. As a result, because of the clear skies and a bit of a northerly wind, temperatures will take a bit of a drop. Its going to be markedly colder than some recent nights. Of is nights. Touch of frost is possible, particularly in rural spots, especially parts spots, especially across parts of as we go through of scotland, as we go through tomorrow itself, then watch out for a few of mist and for a few pockets of mist and fog first thing, once these clear, sunny clear, lots of fine sunny weather across northern and eastern the eastern parts, but towards the south and west here we are going to see clouds spilling its way in. This wont really reach in. But this wont really reach northern parts northern and eastern parts until later afternoon. Wet later in the afternoon. Some wet weather around could heavy at weather around could be heavy at times, across times, particularly across northern after Northern Ireland, but after a chilly start, temperatures rising places likely to rising so most places likely to get into double figures. Any wet weather clears through as we go through early on sunday, so a bit of a wet start across some southeastern parts perhaps, but thereafter sunday actually looks largely dry. A scattering of showers for sure, and also some outbreaks of more persistent rain scotland rain across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. But most of see some sunny breaks of us will see some sunny breaks monday doesnt look but monday doesnt look too wet, but further on the cards for further rain is on the cards for tuesday.

Your wenzler in the gb newsroom. Your top story this hour. Former Prime Minister liz truss has accused labour of preventing a debate on her bill, which seeks to ban transgender women from female only spaces and prevent them from competing in womens sports. It was due to be discussed in the commons today, but mps appeared to waste time to delay her debate. She told gb news she was frustrated by the Opposition Party stalling tactics. Tactics. My bill has been stopped today from being debated by the labour party and i am absolutely furious about that. They dont furious about that. They dont even want to talk about the importance of recognising biological sex. They dont want to talk about how we stop children being able to access puberty blockers that would actually stop their development. So they have spent today filibustering my bill and stopping it being talked about, even though over the last few weeks i have had a huge amount of public support from concerned parents and concerned teachers, from young people themselves who want these bills, measures put into law and voting is underway into law and voting is underway in russia to elect the countrys next president. But the first day has been marked by disruption,
