Welcome to Lee Andersons real world. And tonight im joined by the senior political commentator for gb news. Thats nigel nelson. Hes our left in the corner and the very lovely emma webb, political journalist, broadcaster, jack of all trades or jill of all trades. You broadcaster, jack of all trades orjill of all trades. You can or jill of all trades. You can say jack of all trades, but straight to it. Theres been some happenings this week, nigel, over the past few weeks actually in parliament. So obviously you know, ive joined the reform some people the reform party. Some people say reformed character, say im a reformed character, im sure about that. And im not sure about that. And we saw galloway enter saw George GallowayEnter Parliament a couple of weeks back things are changing back and things are changing politically. The landscape is changing slightly. Weve got a general year. Changing slightly. Weve got a general year. Is general election this year. Is this end of two Party Politics. 7 no, i mean, while the first past the post system still exists , two Party Politics will exists, two Party Politics will carry on. So i think that if you look at the two surprises over the last few weeks, George Galloway winning in rochdale, you defecting to reform . I think that your defection is significant because youve got the first reform mp in parliament, if the polls keep going the way that they, they are and you can get 20 in the of the vote, youre looking at that. Of the vote, youre looking at that. Elected mps for reform for that. Elected mps for reform for the first time. George galloway on the other hand. Not so significant is his fourth time in parliament. Hes always promised to break the mould, never quite achieved it. And the never quite achieved it. And the idea that hes got 300 candidates out there for the general election, i dont really believe it, especially as they have to fund themselves and theyll soon realise the expense of that goes further than just losing their 500 deposit. You say i come to nr because nigel says its not significant that George Galloway is. I think its very significant that he can polarise a whole section of society and get them all out to vote, and not really talk about the rest of his constituency. It was just one group of people that got out to vote. They got him elected. Its massively significant. I think its the beginning of sectarian rather than think its the beginning of sectend� n rather than think its the beginning of sectend of rather than think its the beginning of sectend of the rather than think its the beginning of sectend of the two |ther than think its the beginning of sectend of the two party han think its the beginning of sectend of the two party system , the end of the two party system, the end of the two party system, the fact that he, he focussed on the fact that he, he focussed on the muslim vote, rallied the muslim vote, postal voting as a whole. Other aspect of that that hasnt received an off attention at all, and you know , there are at all, and you know, there are other candidates that are planning to stand in other areas. And if he were to support those candidates and they are like, he he said it himself, he thinks that , that that the next thinks that, that that the next election is going to be about muslims, he is driving a sectarian wedge into british politics, and its enormously significant because of weve seen this on our streets. We canned after weekend after weekend, with so many people who have been mobilised against israels actions in gaza , weve israels actions in gaza, weve seen london become a no go zone for jewish people, so i think forjewish people, so i think its enormously significant. I dont think its the end of the two party system. But i think two party system. But i think what were seeing across both parties and your defection is a sign of this, is that the rot is so deeply set in both parties and the only reason why we focus so much on the conservative party is because labour hasnt beenin party is because labour hasnt been in government for so long, and as soon as they are in government, that rot will become very apparent. Nigel, sectarianism in so, nigel, sectarianism in british politics. I think emmas got there and a rot got a fair point there and a rot in main parties. Do you 7 ee. Agree . Theres certainly a rot in the conservative party as weve seen and, islamophobia and racism has become a problem. Racism has become a problem. Hold on. I want to pull you up on that. Nigel. What is islamophobia . Well, there is there is no set definition. Are that word . 7. I . I think 7 i think we em 7 i think we use that word because it is something that encourages his hatred towards muslims , theres no settled muslims, theres no settled definition of it. I think the danger of british politics at the moment is you end up and both british sunak and keir starmer are guilty of this. Starmer are guilty of this. Youve got keir starmer, whos accusing the tories of islamophobia and the tories accusing labour of anti semitism. Both are not true. As far as the parliamentary parties are concerned, but we dont want the election to come in, come down to a battle or between those two sorts. You mean whos the most racist . Yeah, yeah. We dont want yeah, yeah. We dont want racism to be part of the election. No, absolutely not. Emma. No, absolutely not. Emma. Well, i mean, lets talk about the definition of islamophobia, because there is one definition has been one definition that has been put forward, thats the appgs forward, and thats the appgs definition of islamophobia, which and it talks which is pathetic. And it talks about, not just it talks about it talks about this idea of muslimness and that if anybody wants to go and look at that report in detail, its very, very clear that, certain criticisms of islam will be understood as being instrumental in order to attack muslims. Things like saying that islam is spread sword. So one spread by the sword. So the one definition that i think the labour party has adopted, the one, the one definition that is being pushed is, is essentially a back door. Blasphemy law. So if were moving into a potential Labour Government that adopt that definition of islam phobia, plus the potential of either mps fielded by George Galloway, or , fielded by George Galloway, or, him supporting other candidates who are sympathetic to that kind of sectarian politics. We are heading towards trouble , heading towards trouble, sectarian politics again, nigel. Ive been in hot water again recently for saying i want my country back. We want our country back. We want our country back. We want our country back. But this is where were headed. I mean, it depends what you mean about you want your mean about about you want your country i dont country back. I dont know whether you want it to whether you mean you want it to go to Something Like the go back to Something Like the 19705 go back to Something Like the 1970s or whatever. 1970s or the 1960s or whatever. But what youve done is youve joined a party which has very simplistic policies at the moment. Im sure you guys are all going to work out a proper manifesto, but there are so many things that youve put forward now which were fine when you were hoovering up negative votes. But if youre intending now to hooven hoover. But if youre intending now to hoover, hoover up positive votes, they need to be sorted out. So its little things. Its like , one policy is to give like, one policy is to give a people who cant get a gp appointment within three days, a private appointment with a gp. There are there are 360 million nhs appointments a year , only nhs appointments a year, only 3000 gps. It doesnt work. You have an Economic Policy to try and deal with cost of living crisis, which is to bring down, vat by 2. That is so simplistic because because shops are not required to pass on that saving to customers. So its only at a time of low demand , like during time of low demand, like during the financial crisis of 2000. And emini because nigel didnt answer anything that i asked him in the last piece, we talked about sectarian politics. I think its a slippery slope. I think its a slippery slope. Emma. I think the emergence of George Galloway , who actually George Galloway, who actually shook my hand with a bit of a chat with him. But i think the emergence of him just coming and campaigning on one single policy on basically a group of people, a religion. Imagine if on basically a group of people, a religion. Imagine if id said lee anderson had said, im going to campaign on the next election on on christian people. What would the uproar be . Well, people would find it completely unacceptable, wouldnt they . And i think its not with all respect to nigel, its not an honest or fair interpretation of you saying you want your country back , to think want your country back, to think of back in terms of time, because this is about having control. You know, people who live who have live in this country who have roots in this country have a right to this country. Roots in this country have a right to this country. And what right to this country. And what we have at the moment is a situation where we have no control. The government doesnt even seem to have control, whether its our borders, the nhs that nigel mentioned, and we could talk all day about all of the things that weve lost control over the situation is completely unacceptable. So completely unacceptable. So i agree you, lee. Also want agree with you, lee. I also want my back and i feel like my country back and i feel like what were doing were what were doing is were selling the inheritance of selling out the inheritance of our children and our grandchildren, and we are destroying country as its destroying the country as its been to by been handed to us by the greatest generation, and i just, l, greatest generation, and i just, i, i dont think that this should be painted as wanting to take the country back to the 19505, take the country back to the 1950s, though there were certainly things about the certainly some things about the 19505 that were better than today. I dont want to go back, nigel. Todays we had nigel. Todays one. We had rickets polio and scurvy. Rickets and polio and scurvy. And toothbrush and theres one toothbrush between old street and stuff between the old street and stuff like that what of like that. What im sort of getting at is. Theres getting at is. Well, theres things from the 505 and 60s i would like, but what im going to do is, like, got to do is, like, weve got a whole hundreds of whole literally hundreds of thousands, millions thousands, if not millions of people country, in people now in this country, in their that not their communities that do not like us. Are we talking then about the problem of immigration there . Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Well, well, again, reformist on immigration, reformist policy on immigration, is absolutely bizarre at the moment. You would accept 400,000 moment. You would accept 400,000 immigrants into this country on a kind of net zero basis where one in, one out, how the economy can work on that basis , on legal can work on that basis, on legal migrants coming in to fill specific jobs and relying on people emigrating. Im not quite sure when it comes down to to the cross channel boats. I cannot see you campaigning on a policy of drowning people in the engush policy of drowning people in the english channel, which is what the people are already drowning in the channel. They are. They are. But if you start turning back tiny little dinghies, theyre going capsize more people going to capsize and more people will lives. And it is will lose their lives. And it is just not a practical policy to try and turn them back to france, above the fact there arent any International Waters between dover and calais anyway. Emma, ill come back to you on this one. I mean, is it cruel to turn back boats . No, no it isnt. And if the boat capsize, then they would be under obligation to pick the under an obligation to pick the people of the sea. We should people out of the sea. We should be turning boats back to france, i think. And we have to solve the problem. And actually, if you about drowning you care about people drowning the you really the channel and what you really need is to destroy the need to do is to destroy the incentive that makes them cross incentive that makes them cross in the first problem in the first place. The problem is become so soft as is that weve become so soft as a country that people think that they the mick. And they can take the mick. And thats say that we thats not to say that we shouldnt take in genuine asylum seekers, that seekers, but the fact is that were in many that were taking in so many that were taking in so many that were overburdened were so overburdened that we cant after the who cant look after the people who actually need our help. It always back to it always goes back to illegal migration on this programme reason, programme for some reason, something wonder something im quite, i wonder why. Next weve why. Thanks, nigel. Next weve got versus left with emma got right versus left with emma webb and macdonald welcome back to Lee Andersons real world. Time for right versus left. Ive got the very gorgeous, the very lovely, the very beautiful andy mcdonald, the legendary. The legendary. That old chestnut. That old chestnut. That old chestnut. That old chestnut look, politics is changing. Over the past few years, ive spoken about this earlier. And our voting system, i think, needs personally reforming a little bit. We saw all sorts of accusations with the rochdale by election, with postal votes. Andy, is it time to scrap postal votes , i dont think scrapping votes, i dont think scrapping postal votes, but id say reforming the way that theyre distributed and the people who are allowed to vote by post, you know, i think, the restrictions that have been put in by the conservative government on voter id should be applied to postal voting more than anything, because thats where actual because thats where the actual cases of fraud happened with the voter agree with turning voter id, you agree with turning up a with a photo at the up with a with a photo at the polling i agree it polling station . I agree with it in principle, think the in principle, but i think the way its been done is its way that its been done is its been left the returning been left to the returning officers, kind of theyve been left to kind of left on their own to kind of administer they so administer it how they want. So i think there needs to be a more coherent strategy it, it coherent strategy on it, and it needs to done on postal needs to be done on postal votes. Youre going to it votes. If youre going to do it at all, because thats where the only cases fraud happen. Only real cases of fraud happen. Youre fire. Youre fighting the wrong fire. The yeah, but people in the labour say theres no labour party will say theres no fraud with postal fraud happens with postal voting. Prove it. Do you mean . People what do you mean . People in the the the labour party, people in the labour of things. The labour party, people in the lab know, of things. The labour party, people in the lab know, people of things. The labour party, people in the lab know, people in of things. The labour party, people in the lab know, people in the things. You know, people in the conservative party say lots of people reform party, you people in the reform party, you know, in all three know, youve been in all three and say of things. And you say lots of things. Postal should we so postal votes, should we just them, not entirely, just scrap them, not entirely, because think people, because i think older people, people are able to people who are not able to physically to polling physically get to a polling station vote station should be able to vote by that by post, i agree with you that as much. Also agree with voter as much. I also agree with voter id, i think that you should id, and i think that you should have who you are when have to prove who you are when youre voting. Think that youre voting. I think that there serious there should be serious restrictions that restrictions around the way that postal voting is used, because restrictions around the way that postal obvious; used, because restrictions around the way that postal obvious vulnerableause restrictions around the way that postal obvious vulnerable point its an obvious vulnerable point for, democratic system for, the democratic system to be abused. Its obviously vulnerable because vulnerable to that, because you could have a situation where, the a household votes on the head of a household votes on behalf of their entire household , where people are pressured into voting in certain ways, you could have a situation in which the people who are voting are not really the people who are voting or the people who are having votes cast on their behalf dont even necessarily speak english. So its obviously vulnerable to abuse that way , vulnerable to abuse in that way, i think its surprising that the electoral didnt seem Electoral Commission didnt seem particularly interested in looking into what happened in rochdale. Yeah, i imagine that rochdale. Yeah, i imagine that that system has abused many that system has been abused many times before. And but particularly as we see this increase in sectarian politics, and particularly certain cultures that are very patriarchal in, in the very real sense of having one head of the household and possibly having people in that household who dont speak english, who do have a to vote, we need to look a right to vote, we need to look very carefully about at reforming the postal vote system to that democracy to make sure that our democracy isnt abused. Isnt being abused. We see the rochdale so, andy, we see the rochdale by election. Still by election. People are still talking now the talking about it now with the postal votes. Are postal votes. People are suggesting theres some suggesting that theres some shenanigans gone off there. I mean , these areas, like mean, these areas, like rochdale, are traditional labour heartlands. And we know in the inner cities, in places like leicester and, and london and places like that, this is, you know, weve had our suspicions for a while that this sort of, postal voting , fraud, if you postal voting, fraud, if you like, as happened over years and labour sort of turned a blind eye to it. It says it. No, it doesnt happen. Is it going to affect them now, i dont think itll affect them any other way, you know, than it would affect the reform party. If George Galloway stands, you if he does stand, you know, if he does stand, if george you know, George Galloway, you know, if George Galloway, you know, if george stood against George Galloway stood against a proper candidate proper labour candidate, he wouldnt have won, know, if wouldnt have won, you know, if he the late tony he stood against the late tony lloyd rochdale, have lloyd in rochdale, he would have lost. Lets be honest, yeah. Lets lets be honest, george. One time george. Yeah. Lets lets be honest, geo know, one time george. Yeah. Lets lets be honest, geo know, he ne time george. Yeah. Lets lets be honest, geo know, he goesfe george. Yeah. Lets lets be honest, geo know, he goes in george. Yeah. Lets lets be honest, geo know, he goes in when a. You know, he goes in when theres a fuss, when theres theres a big fuss, when theres a sometimes he wins. You a gap and sometimes he wins. You know, won one because know, he won this one because there a real labour there wasnt a real labour candidate. Know labour candidate. You know the labour candidate. You know the labour candidate know candidate came fourth. You know like so dont it opposition. So i dont think it will. You know galloway will. You know George Galloway is off. You know, forget is a one off. You know, forget his 300 other candidates that hes say, says hes going to say, he says a real candidate. Hes going to say, he says a real if candidate. Hes going to say, he says a real if somebody like angela what if somebody like Angela Rayner george in rayner stood against george in in rochdale . Who would win . No. Galloway because in rochdale . Who would win . No. He galloway because in rochdale . Who would win . No. He � mobilisingzcause he was he was, mobilising the muslim in response to a muslim vote in response to a very particular contentious issue. Israel and palestine. He was very clear that thats what he was thats what he was doing, that he was he was campaigning on that one issue because the labour party are now vulnerable to candidates like that because of the position that they take on whats happening between israel gaza. Israel and gaza. Okay. So look, were going to go to the yes no quiz now. And go to the yes no quiz now. And you know the rules, emma. Its a simple yes or no. And youve simple yes or no.

Charismatic, like boris is charismatic, like i dont. We a dont. I do think that we have a problem. Saw this with problem. And we saw this with the bringing back of david cameron, we see this in the constant culturally, the constant culturally, in the constant culturally, in the constant old films. Constant remaking of old films. And night that and we saw last night that theyre going make theyre actually going to make a titanic two. Theyre going to build another version of the titanic. And i think boris titanic. And i think boris coming back could be a little bit like that. Yeah. But, you know, politics a know, our politics needs a Little Something injected little bit of something injected into it. And i dont think that theres obvious that theres anything obvious that should from theres anything obvious that should back, from theres anything obvious that should back, particularlyn theres anything obvious that should back, particularly given coming back, particularly given that premiership was during that his premiership was during covid. He didnt really get much of a chance to know. He didnt get fact that what we all get the fact that what we all hoped he would do, i didnt get a fair crack. Hoped he would do, i didnt get a fair crpolitics is being very but politics is being very generous these days. Generous politics these days.

Chaotic politics. Oh yeah. I mean, to scream at the tv mean, i used to scream at the tv before into politics. Before i got into politics. Think a lot of well, its i think a lot of people feel very disappointed. And its frustrating because nothing seems to change. And if youre if youre in it for a long time or youre paying very, very sort of solid attention to it for a long time, you do sort of want to smash your face. They want to pay attention. Yeah.

Gb news is britains election. Channel. Its time for back in the day with tv legend Christopher Biggins. Wow. Listen, ive been watching you on tv since i were that high and one of my favourite programs of all time, weve got a few from the 70s. Favourite programs of all time, weve got a few from the 705. Is programs like rising damp, dads army , but the one i keep army, but the one i keep watching on on a rerun , im not watching on on a rerun, im not sure what channel its on. Is porridge and youre in that, werent you . I was it was a fantastic series to be involved in, when sid lotterby , who produced and sid lotterby, who produced and directed it, asked me to do it, i was thrilled. Not only was i was thrilled. Not only was i thrilled because, of course it was work. And, but the thrilling was work. And, but the thrilling thing was Ronnie Barker. Yeah, who was just the best . I mean, he was the most extraordinary man. And what i always say about Ronnie Barker was he was not. He was not a comedian. He was a comedy actor. And i say that in comedy actor. And i say that in the nicest possible way, because if he felt one of dick clement andian if he felt one of dick clement and Ian La Frenais lines was better said by me, he would give it to me rather. If rather than always wanting the funny line because he saw the whole picture. And thats where he was so clever. And of course it was brilliantly cast. There were so many wonderful people in it, you see growing up, you know, because i was, you know, eight, nine, ten years old when these sort were and sort of programmes were on and i couldnt get my head round the fact this barker fact that this Ronnie Barker chap programme chap came on a programme on saturday two ronnies. Yeah. With white hair. Yes. And then following day, and then the following day, i wonder was his watch this, wonder if it was his watch this, this with with this cockney geezer with with dark the prisoner. Dark hair and the prisoner. I could believe it was the could not believe it was the same person. Could not believe it was the san no,erson.

You kn from my neck of the woods. Sad when died. From my neck of the woods. Oh, ;ad when died. From my neck of the woods. Oh, ;a wasen died. From my neck of the woods. Oh, ;a was tragic. Iied. From my neck of the woods. Oh, ;a was tragic. Lad. From my neck of the woods. Oh, ;a was tragic. I mean, oh, it was tragic. I mean, absolutely tragic. I mean, you know, i was told the sun, know, i was told by the sun, they rang me, i was doing some, some filming in northumberland, and came up and talked to and they came up and talked to me it. I was me about it. And i was absolutely shattered because he, out everybody i was working out of everybody i was working with particular time , with at that particular time, would undoubtedly the would undoubtedly have been the biggest the world, biggest star all over the world, because he was just breaking into that. And of course, into that. And of course, i think it was an enlarged heart he had and just just left. So he left two little girls as well. I know well whove done terribly well. Yeah, yeah, in the acting profession. And the wife just wonderful. Wife was just wonderful. So what was it, christopher, that made you want to go into acting . Was you messing around at was brought up in at school, i was brought up in salisbury, but i came from. I was born in oldham, and my mother hated oldham, so she came down after three weeks after i was born to salisbury. And my great auntie vi, who was a terrible snob , insisted that i terrible snob, insisted that i have elocution lessons because she didnt like the fact that everybody talked like that down in salisbury. So, you know, she didnt like the accent. So i had elocution lessons and the mrs. Christian who taught me my elocution lessons , was elocution lessons, was interested in theatre, and she could see something in me. And so she encouraged me. So i did lots things, at school. And lots of things, at school. And then when i left school at 16. 5, i was lucky enough to have in salisbury a wonderful theatre, a repertory theatre. And i went and i said, can i have a job . When i was, you know, going to leave school . And i wanted to go into theatre. And he said, you can come. Reggie salberg , who can come. Reggie salberg, who ran the theatre, said, you can come for two weeks. And i stayed for two years. I was on £2 a week the first year and then went up to £6 a week. The second yeah what year was that, chris, right. So that was, 605, 90s right. So that was, 605, 905 round about the 60s, £2 weight. Was it a fair wage then . Well ho. 110. No. Well, not at all. I was heavily subsidised by my family , heavily subsidised by my family, you know, who were wonderful. But i mean, you know, and then i went to Bristol Old Vic theatre school, which was great because went to Bristol Old Vic theatre schocwas� nich was great because went to Bristol Old Vic theatre schocwas an| was great because went to Bristol Old Vic theatre schocwas an actresseat because went to Bristol Old Vic theatre schocwas an actress called ause there was an actress called Stephanie Cole who you all know, and insisted i went to drama and she insisted i went to drama school. And so thats when i started. What was your big break then . I suppose a way then . Well, i suppose in a way it had to be i was i did a lot of televisions before , porridge. Of televisions before, porridge. But porridge was certainly where and of course i was called lukewarm. And i remember vividly i had a convertible car and i was at the traffic lights and lorry driver looked down at me and said, oh, hello, lukewarm. So i thought, now ive so i thought, well, i now ive made a mark as a character because was that of because it was that sort of humour werent they, humour in the 705, werent they, that know, humour in the 70s, werent they, that know, these that sort of, you know, these camp i remember, of my camp men i remember, one of my comedy heroes larry grayson. Comedy heroes was larry grayson. Oh, yeah. He was absolutely hilarious, hilarious company taupin and danny la rue, dick emery. Yeah, i sometimes watch emery. Yeah, i sometimes watch a few of his clips on, on, on youtube. I dont i dont suppose you could get away with that sort of human aquajet. Well, i dont think you could. I mean, you know, i remember i had a i played in doctor at sea, an outrageous queen, and i performed the hair, and i played it very, very carefully. And i got a lot of stick. Then in the 70s, carefully. And i got a lot of stick. Then in the 705, so then when i decided when i was asked to do lukewarm, the i on earth, as they called him, the i, decided not to go down that road and to play. And of course, it worked brilliantly because theres a wonderful scene where, he writes, Ronnie Barker writes letters to all the wives begging them to come to the, prison to see them. And, so they all the wives come and they come on a bus and theyre reading , bus and theyre reading, suddenly realised theyve all got the same letter. And my boyfriend is there too, and he realises, and of course, it was the biggest laugh ever when they people realised. You get this sort of so when you get this sort of fame and fortune that youve got christopher, going get christopher, youre going to get involved good causes involved in some good causes arent charities. Arent you. Charities. Its, its, its yeah it is, its, its, its good to be involved. Anything youre involved in at the moment. Theres wonderful well theres a wonderful story i really get story which i cant really get oveh story which i cant really get over. Theres a boy who is badly physically and mentally handicapped, and he has the only way he could communicate is by a computer. So so what they want to do is hes now, i think, 20. I think they want to give him a computerised thing where his voice comes through. Yeah. And hes asked they asked him what voice would he like. And he said id like Christopher Biggins voice really. So im going to go and record everything that you have to do. So that when he presses a button or rather type something out and then presses a button to for people to hear, youll get my voice. And im really, really touched by it is a big honour and im thrilled to bits , and it is good when youre bits, and it is good when youre in a position to be able to do things like that, you know, and, and help raise money. I mean, i suppose over the years im quite old now. Ive been in the business over 60 years and, you know, its wonderful to be able to raise millions and millions and which , you know, i and millions, which, you know, i have done. Heroes, thinking so acting heroes, thinking back, back in the day, who would it be . Well, i, you know, im we were taught at drama school, Bristol Old Vic school. We were taught the classics. And i suppose you have to i always looked up to Laurence Olivier. I mean, olivier was and mean, Laurence Olivier was and Robert Stephens too. I remember going to see him play atahualpa, at the old vic , and it was the at the old vic, and it was the most fantastic performance. And, most fantastic performance. And, and also people like maggie smith. I absolutely adore the smith. I absolutely adore the prime of miss jean brodie. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. But also she did some wonderful theatre and has done theatre and its judi dench i worked with years and years ago. Donald sinden. Yeah. Who was just wonderful actor.

Ive just come back as Christopher Biggins and i would like to be near her again, because it was it was his life was amazing. Hed have life was just amazing. Hed have about, 200 servants and thats what id like in life. About, 200 servants and thats what id like in life. Now. What id like in life. Now. Well leave it there.

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 appear to waste time to delay her debate. She told gb news she was frustrated by the opposition parties stalling tactics. My bill has been stopped today from being debated by the labour party and i am absolutely furious about that. They do not even want to talk about the importance of recognising biological sex
