Senior political analyst at orthodox conservatives, david moore told gb news the change might be whats needed to boost pubuc might be whats needed to boost public confidence. Public confidence.

Thank you tatiana. Its been a muscular week and its its been a muscular week and wsfime its been a muscular week and its time to mock the week. And what a busy one its been. Keir starmer is and his left wing cronies are masters of the art of distraction. As the focus this week shifted off Lee Andersons defection to reform to comments made five years ago about abbott, which were about diane abbott, which were eventually deemed by rishi as racist. The businessman behind the comments, frank hester, who is also one of the tory partys biggest donors, having reportedly over 15 reportedly handed over 15 million to the party, apologised as should. But rishi as he should. But rishi initially dithered to give his verdict. I initially dithered to give his verdict. I wonder initially dithered to give his verdict. I wonder why the verdict. I wonder why the comments resurfaced five years later. Perhaps something to do with a general election. And in pmqs, the speaker of the house, lindsay hoyle, who has just come out of his own controversy for changing procedure after keir starmer had a word in his ear, did not allow diane abbott to speak during the debate, which was centred around her, which made no sense. She got up over 40 times but was ignored. Whilst im not a biggest fan, as you well know, questions need to be answered as to why she was not given an opportunity to speak , given an opportunity to speak, liz truss and Kemi Badenoch accused the labour party of using parliamentary procedure to block a debate on transgender reforms. Labour mps talked so long about a bill being debated in the morning. There was no time left to debate miss trusss bill in the afternoon, which would have banned puberty blockers, protected single sex spaces and prevented teachers from helping a child change genden from helping a child change gender. In the meantime, michael gove came up with a new definition for extremism, which didnt encapsulate trans activists. Are we having a laugh . They are the very definition of extreme. Extreme. They believe a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man. How much further from biological reality do you need to be . But nobody with nobody appeared happy with michaels definition. Let me just ask in the interest of balance, is there is there anyone here who welcomes what michael gove had to say and supports what he had to say . Supports what he had to say . Shaun bailey not not a hand up. Okay. Oh dear. Okay. Oh dear. Okay. Oh dear. And keir starmer said arts are for everyone , everywhere. Are for everyone, everywhere. Perhaps someone should tell him that his labour london mayor, sadiq khan, believes that if he truly believes that, it seems to be only on certain days because hes allowing blackouts, which are nights of black, only identifying audiences at theatres, which in my view is very wrong. Penny mordaunt is being tipped as the next Prime Minister as letters of no confidence are piling up against rishi sunak and wales appoints its first black leader of the labour party, Vaughan Gethin, who himself as a who describes himself as a welshman born in zambia. His father , a vet from the vale of father, a vet from the vale of glamorgan in south wales, met his zambian chicken his mother, a zambian chicken farmer, was working in farmer, whilst he was working in southern. And finally the southern africa. And finally the church of england has offered to pay church of england has offered to pay in reparations. Pay a billion in reparations. Interesting times. Its been a interesting times. Its been a mucky week. So welcome on mucky old week. So welcome on board. Im nana akua. This is gb news. We are the peoples channel. Coming up. Ill be joined by the saturday five presenter, Darren Grimes, who will making light this will be making light of this weeks stories of weeks top stories in mark of the then penny for pm, the week. Then the penny for pm, a group of right wing conservative mps believe mr gordon should lead the tories into the next election. But will into the next election. But will this move benefit the tories, or are the tories already toast . So, in the Great British debate this hour, ill be asking. Then, this hour, ill be asking. Then, at 335, doctor Renee Hoenderkamp will to discuss the ban will be live to discuss the ban on puberty blockers, which are used to delay the effects of puberty will longer be puberty, which will no longer be available the available to anyone under the age of 18. And the former head of Counter Terrorism at the ministry of defence, chip chapman is a political spotlight this week as once again, pro palestine protests are filling the streets of cities across the country calling for a ceasefire in gaza, and the government unveiled their new definition of extremism , so definition of extremism, so well be discussing that and what means to them. And of what it means to them. And of course, sainsburys and tescos, they will not be able to fulfil they will not be able to fulfil the vast majority of online deliveries today due to technical issues. Thats all coming up in the next hour. Tell me you think on everything me what you think on everything were discussing. Views me what you think on everything we gb discussing. Views me what you think on everything wegb news. ;ing. Views me what you think on everything we gb news. Com views me what you think on everything wegb news. Com tweet views me what you think on everything we gb news. Com tweet me� ws me what you think on everything wegb news. Com tweet me at. At gb news. Com or tweet me at. Gb news. So its time to mock the week. And joining me to do so is saturday five presenter Darren Grimes. Darren grey , amy Darren Grimes. Darren grey, amy grimy, grimy. What a grimy all week its been its obviously been a lot of controversy over diana, but i personally took the comments as well. You know look a lot of people i can understand why people see some people see racism them. Me personally, racism in them. Me personally, ive heard a lot worse, i ive heard a lot worse, and i didnt deem that to be particularly racist. I know a lot did and everyones lot of people did and everyones entitled view. But entitled to their view. But but darren, if you look at this, what on earth is going on that these comments should resurfaced five years later . Well, clear attempt to well, its a clear attempt to defund the conservative party nana because he is the biggest donor of that party just before a general election. So dare i say this is the guardian playing politics for their favoured political party, which is the labour party. Can both agree that now we can both agree that the comments were quite unpleasant. Oh, they were very bad. You cant dont, dont cant say that i dont, i dont especially, though , that especially, think though, that he should be told who he can and cannot donate his money to. Right. Right. In any free society , you can in any free society, you can be as obnoxious and intolerant or intolerant all as you possibly want to be, and still be able to accept that we need freedom of association. So this man can associate himself with the conservative party if he wants to. Its up to the conservative party to say no, but i dont think they should be forced into not accepting this mans money. I as and if well, i dont as well. And if you look at, you know, some of well, i dont as well. And if you thingst, you know, some of well, i dont as well. And if you things thatu know, some of well, i dont as well. And if you things that have w, some of well, i dont as well. And if you things that have gone � ne of well, i dont as well. And if you things that have gone on of the things that have gone on within party itself the things that have gone on with some party itself the things that have gone on with some the party itself the things that have gone on with some the commentslf and some of the comments that diane made, diane abbott herself have made, you just think need you know, i just think we need to a of to literally take a bit of a chill pill and he has apologised. Hes apologised for the they across. Hes the way they came across. Hes apologised. You know, apologised. And you know, i think can talk to think that you can talk to people and explain why this would across racist and would come across as racist and why thought it was. Why most people thought it was. Absolutely. And hopefully why most people thought it was. Absc learn i. And hopefully why most people thought it was. Absc learn not|d hopefully why most people thought it was. Absc learn not to 1opefully why most people thought it was. Absclearn not to makeilly why most people thought it was. Absclearn not to make comments will learn not to make comments like public. Like that in public. And not forget, diane and lets not forget, diane abbott, rightly mentioned there. She claimed white people love playing rule. She playing divide and rule. She implied white mothers are inferior, praising indian inferior, praising west indian mothers dedication to their children, she criticised finish nurse in a local hospital for their ethnicity, suggesting that they couldnt empathise with black patients. She labelled london cab drivers as racist, saying they dont pick up black people now. Minimise anti semitism. Of course, most recently by suggesting that jewish people dont experience racism well, thats was suspended. Thats why she was suspended. Exactly. Really . Exactly. Really . Exactly. She has so, you know, she has a utany so, you know, she has a litany of examples of being, i would argue, one of the most divisive politicians in the house of commons. So i do think its a bit rich for the bleeding heart to stand up and say, you know, ive got to get my moment in the sun and milk this all worth, milk this for all its worth, which absolutely been doing. Dont i dont think its a threat to abbott to democracy that diane abbott wasnt stand in a wasnt allowed to stand in a house of commons. Think she said, well, i dont think she said, well, i think at all. But i dont think it is at all. But i dont think it is at all. But i think she should have been given to speak given the opportunity to speak because you because that that to me, you know, she, you know, know, look, she, she, you know, she allowed to at she should be allowed to at least about something that least speak about something that literally almost literally they spent almost all of ministers of question Prime Ministers questions talking about it. So the least the person whos the very least the person whos there, they could have they should why they didnt. And lets not though, and lets not forget though, right, that the labour party basically bent the knee to the activists are on our streets right now in london by, not allowing a vote to go through on gaza. Allowing a vote to go through on gaza. Right, by not allowing gaza. Right, by not allowing that debate to be had. Because actually, the biggest threat to mps right now, i would argue, the threat from argue, is the threat from islamist extremism. You know, we saw that david amess , saw that with sir david amess, the murder of a tory mp. Weve seen time and again over the seen it time and again over the last decade or so, and we cant have that discussion. So why is that . Why is it that we can never actually get to the to the meat, as it were, about why mps are at risk and why . I would argue, actually, i do think they need security nana. I do actually think that as well. But i i do actually think that as well. But i would i do actually think that as well. But i would say, i do actually think that as well. But i would say, i i do actually think that as well. But i would say, i would well. But i would say, i would say though that, some of the things that have been let go. So allowing somebody to protest outside an mps house, i cant even understand why that would have even been allowed. But they did. The said , oh, well, did. The police said, oh, well, theyre peacefully protesting. Did. The police said, oh, well, theyre jlike, fully protesting. Did. The police said, oh, well, theyre jlike, no,y protesting. Did. The police said, oh, well, theyre jlike, no, they testing. Did. The police said, oh, well, theyre jlike, no, they werent. And its like, no, they werent. They noise. It they were making noise. It was very. Very intimidating. Yesterday anderson just yesterday lee anderson had on a constituency had he was on a constituency walk and he a string of walk and he had a string of abuse shouted at him right by this woman who a real bloody this woman who was a real bloody loudmouth, if i can say that. Well, apologies if anyones offended, but if its true, its true. But, you know, it was it was intolerable. And i thought, wow, you lee, lee anderson , you know, but lee, lee anderson, of course, is on the right. That kind of intimidation. So that kind of intimidation. So that kind of intimidation. Right, its thats all right, then. Its all but about that all right. But what about that gets away with it . Absolutely fine. Its absolutely fine. Its absolutely fine. Its absolutely fine. I think theres a double so i think theres a double standard as well standard at play here as well i would say. So you know, would say so so you know, i would say so if going to hold people so you know, i would say so if for going to hold people so you know, i would say so if for thingsg to hold people so you know, i would say so if for things that hold people so you know, i would say so if for things that they people so you know, i would say so if for things that they othere up for things that they other people even people are saying, then even those in the spotlight need to be to account as well. Now be held to account as well. Now the labour party using the labour party sneakily using parliamentary the labour party sneakily using parlia liz1tary the labour party sneakily using parlia liz truss and kemi allow liz truss and Kemi Badenoch to put forward their motions, now , i find this so motions, now, i find this so divisive that the politicians understand the procedures which a lot of the general public dont, and manipulate it, because this is what this thats what theyre claiming to disable debate on certain really important topics of the opposition parties. Well, absolutely. I mean, we just had the w path files leaked recently, which actually fact which actually exposed the fact that , health care which actually exposed the fact that, Health Care Professionals were placing children on generally irreversible hormone treatments and actually that they may have been linked to the a cancer case in one child with liver cancer. Now, to not be able to discuss that in parliament, which is what liz truss former Prime Minister, was seeking to do. And instead filibus on ferrets. Im not actually joking. Im not actually joking. Im not actually joking. I know it sounds insane. I know it sounds insane. I know it sounds insane. I havent had a drink. I promise. Promise. Yes. Yes. And i just thought this is intolerable because if we believe the polls, the labour party are going to have quite the massive majority, they can do what they want in the house of commons and i feel really quite well, dare i say, feel quite well, dare i say, i feel a little bit offended. Can i use that by the fact that we that word by the fact that we are not safeguarding children, that children to that we are allowing children to be sacrificed on an altar of quackery and wokery over health and safety . And safety . And i just find that an intolerable position, and i dont think the labour party have made absolutely clear that they are not going to be on the side of science and safeguarding. Theyre quite good. Like keir starmer to me is very good at manipulating and using procedure to sort deflect. Thats what to sort of deflect. Thats what i see with him. I dont see him actually doing stuff, but i wonder, for example, thing wonder, for example, the thing that the comments that came up that the comments made up five years made that came up five years later know, after later are, you know, after theyve made , come at such later are, you know, after tipoignant made , come at such later are, you know, after tipoignant time. De , come at such later are, you know, after tipoignant time. Why ome at such later are, you know, after tipoignant time. Why now . At such later are, you know, after tipoignant time. Why now . Yomch a poignant time. Why now . You know youre know what i mean. If youre going to about these going to complain about these comments, done comments, this should be done straight what about straight away. Now what about michael the michael gove . I feel that the parties messing now parties are messing around now with definition and words and a new definition for extremism. When im sure the original one would have been fine if theyd even acted on it. Yeah absolutely. I mean it to this just i mean it to me, this just smacks of a new era of mccarthyism where were going to have even less speech in on University Campuses where, students and academics will be in fear that theyll be labelled extreme because this definition is so vague. Right. It is so vague. Right. It could apply. And as i say, when labour get in power as well, theyll have a different interpretation of what is isnt extremism than the is and isnt extremism than the conservative party or indeed, michael gove have. Michael michael gove might have. Michael gove wrote a book, in the early 2000, and it was on the response to terror and the response to 9 11. Essentially, now that could be viewed as extremism to take such a robust stand as he did against islamism. Now, i worry that michael gove may be in the future, wouldnt be able to publish a book like that. Well, thats so you know, this is the worry when you do that. The unintended consequences that you meddle with that occur when you meddle with something hasnt used something that hasnt been used properly know properly anyway, look, we know what the definition is. And yet things activism , things like trans activism, which i would say is quite extremist, would not be incorporated within the definition. Standing on the streets and saying, jihad and intifada. Right . Exactly. Right . Exactly. Violence on the streets. I violence on the streets. I mean, its if thats not extreme, i dont know what is. Extreme, i dont know what is. Penny mordaunt. Shes being tipped as next prime tipped as the next Prime Minister. Not. No, no minister. Absolutely not. No, no absolutely why they absolutely not. Why are they doing this to us . Is lovely person. Penny is a lovely person. Ive met her a few times. Shes a really lovely and shes very, very good at the ballot, at the despatch standing despatch box ceremony, standing on ceremony, doing this, bashing the snp. I love thats great. And i love that thats great. And of course, as you mentioned, the sword like sword carrying the sword like a little lego carrying the sword. She was brilliant, but i dont a leadership material. Lets not that. Lets not forget that. Lets not forget that. Morton at penny morton stood at the despatch box displayed what despatch box and displayed what i as a extreme, if i would regard as a extreme, if i would regard as a extreme, if i can use that word again form of political naivety. She stood at the despatch box nana and she said, trans women are women, i remember that. Yeah, thats thats the unforgivable ness of it all, really, as much and also look really, as much as and also look who wants to who wants to be at the of a sinking ship, the helm of a sinking ship, which where going. Which is where its going. If she wants do it, well, if she wants to do it, i let her do it. She cant well, if she wants to do it, i any let her do it. She cant well, if she wants to do it, i any let h she could hold that i suppose she could hold that sword of big sword at the helm of the big wheel. Need. Wheel. Shes gonna need. Will everything together. Everyone penny. She everyone behind. Penny. She kind reminds of that woman kind of reminds me of that woman in. Whats that . That film. Oh, god. Remember it now. It god. I cant remember it now. It will come back to police will come back to me. The police film berrys wife. Film tackle berrys wife. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, no. You know, i cant remember steven spielberg. Yeah. Steve guttenberg. Oh, i know people they know what people at home. They know what im email in. Im saying. Theyll email in. Yeah and then yeah they will do. And then wales appoints the black wales appoints the first black leader party. Yes. Leader of the labour party. Yes. Vaughan stood up so Vaughan Gethin stood up and former health and he was a former health secretary. Was the secretary. So he was the one basically the tinpot basically enabling the tinpot dictator in wales, Mark Drakeford, who is now gone, who was banning the sale of baby clothes , mandate mask, mask clothes, mandate mask, mask mandates and all the rest of it. He was obsessed. He was a beast unleashed. He couldnt wait to actually differentiate himself from nasty old england westminster. Old england and westminster. And this is what its about. Its political posturing. I think this is a parliament of pygmies, this welsh parliament. Its a waste of i think its a waste of taxpayer money. I dont think it serves people. Serves the welsh people. Welsh farmers in revolt welsh farmers are in revolt against the net zero policies. I think a con and think its a total con and i think its a total con and i think Vaughan Gethin standing up and saying hes the first black leader in i think he said all of europe, i couldnt care less. Are you going to deliver . Is he going to be good at the job . Exactly it if there job . Exactly i love it if there is whos the first of is somebody whos the first of whatever, need to be whatever, but they need to be good at job thats the good at the job that thats the first thing. And first and foremost thing. And then to be that first and foremost thing. And therare to be that first and foremost thing. And therare of to be that first and foremost thing. And therare of a to be that first and foremost thing. And therare of a different,e that first and foremost thing. And therare of a different, you at you are of a different, you know, seen know, no ones ever seen somebody the somebody whos black leading the labour party in wales. And thats well. But thats wonderful as well. But you actually to be good you do actually need to be good at do. Show some at what you do. Show some competence. Got to be competence. Youve got to be good. Otherwise, the good. Otherwise, if youre the first black person doing that thing it well, first black person doing that thin know it well, first black person doing that thin know it it well, first black person doing that thin know it works. It well, first black person doing that thin know it works. People you know how it works. People then as a representative then see you as a representative of that thats it is. Of that race. Thats how it is. And admit that and people should admit that that the case. Now that is often the case. Now finally, england finally, church of england offering to pay reparations. Yeah. Its not pocket yeah. Listen its not pocket change either, right . This billion in reparations , billion billion in reparations, billion pound fund. So to actually they say in, in sort of recompense for the colonial past. Now, i would argue that actually the church of england needs to be focusing on its survival, and it could do a lot with homelessness as well. Why not these which not focus on these issues, which would people , black and would help people, black and white, in this country and around world, as opposed to around the world, as opposed to focusing on appeasing a few extreme activists in this country . I dont get it. Reparations. I did it, really. I had a really good link of the guy who was saying, you want us to give you money, so youve got nothing to do with what before. Do with what happened before. Who the money who are you handing the money to . Are you the to . Yeah. Who are you giving the to . Yeah. Who are you giving the to money to . Money em g to the. We its irrelevant to the. We literally to. Money literally need the to. Money we literally live in the most comfortable that have, comfortable era that we have, especially colour. Especially if youre of colour. You can whatever like, you can do whatever you like, however you cant however you like. You cant continue about continue to complain about historic. More than most to the uk did more than most to end slavery, not forget, end slavery, lets not forget, but productive and but also the most productive and most sort of intelligent people in this country. Supposedly at schools are black african women. I think its asian students. So i its the asian students. So i think mainly chinese students. Its the asian students.

Sainsburys has said its working hard to fix the issue and apologise to customers affected. Tesco said customers affected. Tesco said we are working to fix a technical issue, which has meant we have had to cancel some onune we have had to cancel some online that were due for online orders that were due for delivery today.

Sainsburys and tescos have said today that theyre having it issues when it comes to people ordering online. Now were at sainsburys here in woolwich and people have been coming here saying theyre having some technical issues inside , whereas in the past well inside, whereas in the past well earlier today there would have been using contactless, but now theyre having to put their card in and use the Old Fashioned way of chip and pin. Now of course , of chip and pin. Now of course, this comes as lots of us now rely on online orders. Convenient for many of us and for those who are unable to come to shops physically, its also a bonus so many of those who had ordered today expecting their orders today, sainsburys saying the of those the vast majority of those orders wont be arriving today and theyre hoping the situation is solved by tomorrow. And then today we also had tesco they were saying theyve been having some technical issues. So again, people looking to order today wont be able to order online and also have their items delivered, which they might have been preparing for a meal or otherwise this evening. Of otherwise this evening. Now of course , argos, which we see some course, argos, which we see some of those stores inside sainsburys now, theyve also said people who are coming into their stores may have some issues. And for ordering issues. And for those ordering onune issues. And for those ordering online as well, but we caught some of those who are leaving the store here earlier on.

They are working today , but this comes a day today, but this comes a day after the outage at after we saw the outage at mcdonalds who were saying this is not to do with hacking. Despite some of the reports weve press. Weve been seeing in the press. Thank you so much, theo. Theo shall come back. A reporter. Right. Lets go over to olivia utley tory members have utley because tory members have reportedly engaged in clandestine discussions aimed at replacing the Prime Minister and installing Penny Mordaunt as a new leader of the conservative party. Me now, gb party. So joining me now, gb news correspondent news Political Correspondent olivia utley. My goodness, what is with people . Is going on with these people . Well, absolutely. All sorts of whisperings behind the scenes up until now, the general consensus in the conservative party has been that getting rid of rishi sunak now, however unpopular he might be, would be disastrous. Installing a fourth tory leader in as many years. I think it is , doesnt exactly think it is, doesnt exactly show a strong and stable government now. It seems there are a few ministers and a few backbench mps who are beginning to think that actually it cant get any worse for the conservative party and that it lest they get rid of rishi sunak, they could end up losing more seats than they lost in the 1997 labour landslide. And the 1997 labour landslide. And the number of tory mps who said they will stand down at the next election is now second only to that of the number that stood down in 1997. That is a measure of just how low morale is in the party at the moment. There was hope that the budget might restore some confidence in the conservative party. But if you look at the polls, it seems to have had absolutely no impact at all. It is that, combined with the scandal over frank hester over the last week, at which over the last week, but at which point, you know, rishi sunak felt as though he didnt really act quickly , didnt act act very quickly, didnt act decisively. Wait for decisively. He had to wait for kemi speak before he Kemi Badenoch to speak before he before actually gave the before he actually gave the push. Two events combined push. Those two events combined have led some conservative mps to start to say, hang on a minute, we need to get rid of this man and Penny Mordaunt seems to be the obvious candidate to replace him. There candidate to replace him. There are a couple of issues with that. That are that. One is that there are plenty on the right of the conservative party cannot conservative party who cannot forgive mordaunt for forgive Penny Mordaunt for saying at the despatch that saying at the despatch box that she trans women are she believes trans women are women. That is a culture war issue alive and well in issue that is alive and well in the conservative party, and some simply cant get over those comments. The other issue is that mordaunt has a very that Penny Mordaunt has a very slim majority, based slim majority, and based on current trajectories , current polling trajectories, she could lose her seat. Obviously, if the leader of the conservative party was to lose her seat in an election, it would be a very bad look for the party. Indeed, my instinct is that there arent going to be a whole swathe of letters of no confidence in the Prime Minister over few weeks. I think over the next few weeks. I think it will be him who leads the conservative party into the next general election. But with all these whisperings, cant say these whisperings, i cant say for certain. Oh crikey, shes helm oh crikey, shes at the helm of, unfortunately, a sinking ship. Thank you very much, olivia. Right. Well, an urgent olivia. Right. Well, an urgent warning has been issued regarding significant regarding the significant disruption and potential gridlock m25 portion gridlock on the m25 as a portion of highway undergoes major of the highway undergoes Major Construction work. Joining me now, News Reporter ray now, gb News Reporter ray addison. Rae, what can you tell me . People listening the me . Are people listening to the warnings away . Warnings and staying away . Hey, nana. Yes, its. Well, it appears that they are. I have to say, weve been down there to the m25. We found our way into the m25. We found our way into the woods. I got stung by some nettles. We had a look over the fence and we were looking at the traffic was approaching traffic as it was approaching that that, m25, that slip road, that, m25, junction 11 heading southbound. And moving. Was moving and it was moving. It was moving okay. Of course, weve heard these reports about tailbacks two miles, five miles. Although i think traffic is being slightly slowed down as it approaches that obstruction. And that exit, it is eventually moving. And then when it does come, its moving fairly steadily through these diverging on this 11. 5 mile diversion reroute. Its all been mapped out here. The m25 diverted traffic signs. You see them all along this route. Weve been driving up and down it all day long, enjoying the people beeping their horns at us as well as weve been broadcasting. But its been fairly easy. No major disruption. Locals here telling me as well that actually this is a bit quieter than it normally is. And so it appears that that warning from national highways at home, fix up highways stay at home, fix up your garden, fix up your bathroom. Theyve paid attention to that. And also it would appear that theyre not using their satnavs. Theyre following their satnavs. Theyre following that diversion and theyre not getting theyre not getting stuck. And theyre not causing congestion in other areas. Good areas. And thats really good for news these small villages, because although get because although they do get traffic, a its a route to traffic, its a its a route to london. This is the a320.

Coming up as political spotlight , were joining me to shine a light today is Major General chip chapman will discuss the definition of extremism next puberty blockers for minors under the age of 18 are set to be banned. Under the age of 18 are set to be banned. Ill under the age of 18 are set to be banned. Ill get the thoughts be banned. Ill get the thoughts from doctor Renee Hoenderkamp. I think got that right. Think ive got that right. I think ive got that right. I think ive got that right. I think ive got welcome back. If youve just tuned in. Where have you been . So youve only missed 38 minutes. Im nana akua. Were live. This is gb news. We are the peoples channel now. The the peoples channel now. The former Prime Minister, liz truss, tabled a private members bill on changing the law when it comes biological comes to defining biological sex. Now, yesterday she outlined the details of bill. Lets the details of her bill. Lets take listen. Take a listen. X means biological sex. X means biological sex. 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. Own decisions. And what it will mean is it will protect single sex facilities like toilets, single sex sports like girls sports. Sex sports like girls sports. Also, amidst the debates over the use of puberty suppressing hormones for children with gender dysphoria , the nhs in gender dysphoria, the nhs in england has implemented a significant change in policy banning puberty blockers for under 18. Whilst the therapy has shown promise in alleviating distress for some individuals with gender dysphoria, it was rather nice, rather creative. I dont know why they did that because joking. Concerns because im joking. Concerns persist long time persist regarding long time impacts on bone density, brain development, and cognitive function. So is it time . Is this the right decision . Joining me the right decision . Joining me now is gp and medical writer doctor renee. Hello. Hello nicola bulley. Thats fine. My patients call me doctor renee. Doctor renee. So is it the right decision . Absolutely. Absolutely. The right decision. Its the right decision. Its the right decision. And frankly, and i know it doesnt far enough because doesnt go far enough because it should these should actually ban these hormones prescribed hormones from being prescribed by by that i mean by anybody and by that i mean the private clinics. So thats a loophole that exists. Lots of loophole that exists. Lots of these children go via private clinics the waitlists clinics because the waitlists are actually for the gender. Clinics are so long and then they come to the nhs already established on them. And weve got doctors sitting in spain prescribing children prescribing for our children here and sending hormones by post. You know, its a disgrace. Post. You know, its a disgrace. What is the obsession with this . Why can they not just allow the children to go through puberty to acknowledge who and how they are . And then at that point, if you feel like doing that, do it well. Simple answer to that the simple answer to that nana because activists nana is because the activists know if they let children know that if they let children go through the natural process of puberty, which is what theyre trying to stop, 90 of them will actually settle with their natural biological sex and be happy. Are whereas if they go on to puberty blockers, 90 of them will go on to cross sex hormones. So if you get them on the train early, they stay on the train early, they stay on the train early, they stay on the train and then when they get into adulthood and theyre actually unhappy with what theyve done, late. Theyve done, is too late. Feels almost like sort but it feels almost like sort of grooming. I know its not meant to be, but it feels like youre getting them on to a lifetime of medication. Yeah which who dont understand. How can a 13 year old understand the implications of a lifetime of medication, of surgery, of being infertile . Being infertile . You know, no 13 year old can really understand the consequences of that, because only when weve been through puberty and women and puberty and we are women and men, do we then even start thinking fertility and thinking about fertility and children and whether its something we to add to our something we want to add to our lives it form of lives and it is a form of grooming because of them grooming because lots of them are groomed online. So the are being groomed online. So the moment this about moment they hear this idea about maybe wrong body and maybe im in the wrong body and lots of them are gay, and so then start thinking, oh my then they start thinking, oh my god, gay. Theyre still god, im gay. Theyre still finding difficult finding that really difficult to cope with. And you know, if you speak anybody, all my gay speak to anybody, all my gay friends that doesnt friends will say that it doesnt matter society its matter how open society is, its still really difficult still a really difficult decision to terms with. Decision to come to terms with. So online and they so they go online and they google, am i really gay . They instantly a trans website. Instantly get a trans website. They go on that and thats it. They go on that and thats it. The algorithm starts and they start getting taken down the rabbit hole of youre not gay, youre just in the wrong body. Youre just in the wrong body. And the reality is theres not really any such thing as being in the wrong body because your body is your body. So the body youre in is your body. You might you should be in body youre in is your body. You mdifferent you should be in body youre in is your body. You mdifferent genderu should be in body youre in is your body. You mdifferent gender stereotypee in body youre in is your body. You mdifferent gender stereotype of1 a different gender stereotype of your body, but is ultimately your body, but it is ultimately a gender stereotype, isnt it . Because what you see when trans women sort of dress up to become what they feel is a woman , it what they feel is a woman, it feels often like a caricature or a stereotype of what a woman is, the that tried to the one that weve tried to actually rid of over the actually get rid of over the years weve tried to years because weve tried to tell can whatever tell women they can be whatever they absolutely they want, and men absolutely see, its that you know that see, its that and you know that no, lets be clear, nana no, child, lets be clear, nana no, child, lets be clear, nana no child is born in the wrong body. Theyre born in the right body. What they have, however, is lots of mental distress and trauma. So, so many of these kids have got adhd, autism, depression, anxiety or trauma, quite often sexual trauma. And what needs to happen is they need we need to step back , stop need we need to step back, stop medicalizing them, help them through this, explore more gently whats underpinning their distress because certainly theyre distressed. But what were doing now is were experimenting not just on children, were experimenting on vulnerable children. I truly believe this will be a medical travesty that we will look back on in ten years time, like we do now. Thalidomide and its terrible. And the number of people who have gone through this process, and one in particular, brianna ivy, who is an American Woman and i will say woman because, you know, shes been through the whole thing. And i really, seriously sympathise with been sympathise with what shes been through. Of through. So this is out of compassion, frankly, not because i she is a woman. I believe that she is a woman. And in fact, when i spoke to her, she acknowledged that shes not a woman. She acknowledges that shes a man. And have that shes a man. And i have utmost respect for her. But she wishes the had told wishes that the adults had told her, stop, dont do this. Well, i actually i think it may have been her. Read may even have been her. I read that i read 13. Well, someone that i read a 13. Well, someone who had transitioned said that when 13, i decided that when i was 13, i decided that i didnt want to be a woman. Oh, its the other way before even its the other way before i even knew what it was to be a woman. Yeah, man. Yeah yeah. Yeah, a man. Yeah yeah. Yeah, a man. Yeah yeah. Know, so its really you know, so its really unfair these kids that adults unfair on these kids that adults are actually stepping out of the room and leaving them to it. Parents actually need to up parents actually need to step up to plate and actually take to the plate and actually take some responsibility and be some responsibility and not be scared the myths. Trans scared by the myths. Trans children do not kill themselves more likely to do it if youve gone through that and you cant gone through that and you cant go back. And we now know that if we actually transition we actually let them transition in social, medical or in any way, social, medical or surgery, theyre not happier after not solving after it. So its not solving the problem. No, let let let children be children. Thank so much children. Thank you so much doctor doctor doctor renee. That is doctor Renee Hoenderkamp. I think i got Renee Hoenderkamp. I think i got it right. You did. I got it right. Shes an nhs doctor and right. Shes an nhs doctor and a broadcaster. Thank you so much for joining us. This is gb news. Forjoining us. This is gb news. Were live tv, online and on were live on tv, online and on digital political next. If you just joined me. Welcome on board. This is gb news on tv, onune on board. This is gb news on tv, online and on Digital Radio. Im nana akua, and its time for this weeks political spotlight. So pro palestine so once again, pro palestine protests are filling the streets of cities across the country calling for a ceasefire in gaza. These are the first marches to go ahead since michael gove unveiled the governments new definition of extremism. But what new definition of what is the new definition of extremism . Well, let me tell you, it is the promotion or advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance that aims to negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others , rights and freedoms of others, undermine, overturn or replace the uks system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights. Now, the democratic rights. Now, the government says that this new definition is a narrower and more precise version than was previously introduced back in 2011, joining me to shine 2011, so joining me to shine a light is former head of Counter Terrorism at the ministry of defence, Major General chip chapman chipp. For chipp. Thank you so much for joining me. So what do you make of the new definition . This updated definition . Updated definition . Well, theres no crime in law being a terrorist and neither is there a crime in law of being an extremist. So what this does, it doesnt have any legal statutory status. But it gives guidance, particularly for people in Central Government and local authorities. In for example, the prevented gender because of the listing of organisations of those organisations who, because of hatred or intolerance. This of hatred or intolerance. This should not be dealt with and given either a platform or funding, as some were in the past. Now of course it has past. Now of course it has violence in the title as well. If violence is there, it would go into the terrorist sort of bucket. And weve seen really in bucket. And weve seen really in the last well , since the 7th of the last well, since the 7th of september, a number of things where extreme ism has come about, and weve seen that manifested for example, in referrals to the internet, internet referral unit with things such as floating hashtags of, you know, death to jews, hitler was right, or kill muslims. Weve seen more referrals to the prevent hotline and ct hotline. Now, of course, the police would look at all those and see if any offence was committed. And thats the thing that there is a body of legislation which does exist that if offences were committed by those extremists and they can be dealt with. So, for example, hostility and prejudice by the crime and disorder act 1986, incitement to racial hatred by the public order act 1986 and so on. So its guidance to stop those whove had funding getting funding in in the future. Now, so far, michael gave gove gave three Islamist Groups and two extreme right wing groups. One might be surprised that there arent more, but that doesnt say that michael gove only had a certain time in to Parliament Give a snapshot. Not that the list might not be growing in in the future. So do you think that we actually need an updated definition . Definition . I dont think it really hits the mark, but i dont think it necessarily really matters if its if its too lax, its pointless. If its too restrictive , it hinders debate. Restrictive, it hinders debate. And its of course, somewhere in the middle. And it is that guidance thing which matters. So for example, one of the groups was cage. Now cage has always been a problematic group. Cage was a group, for example, that called jihadi john a beautiful young man. Cage has been one of those groups which was , those groups which was, vociferous in the prevent, prevent lobby and would like to see the rollback, for example, of Counter Terrorist legislation. And one of the reasons why prevent was pretty late, about four years late, because a number of cases that they kept bringing, against the government. And, you know, those are the groups that you want to, you know, marginalise. Now, i do know, marginalise. Now, i do still believe, of course, in free speech in terms of creating a informed public and debate so that we can hold these groups to account and therefore, you shouldnt again, have restricted definitions in the future on things such as islamophobia, because we need to call out these groups and islamism in itself. Now, again, we often get itself. Now, again, we often get confused between what is a muslim and what is an islamist and an islamist for someone, to me , and the identifiers for that me, and the identifiers for that are a belief that islam is not just a religion, but a divine political ideology which goes into the potentially into the against democracy. And secondly, against democracy. And secondly, the demand that sharia must be synchronised with state law. Now, the ultimate thing for those people who are islamists on the real sort of right of that spectrum is the call for an islamic state, the caliphate. But there are different ways that you can achieve a caliphate, both al qaeda and islamic state, at a different vision for that one. Why . Wait, is al qaeda . Lets, lets mallet the far enemy. America before we even think of this, some of the people that we deal with or have deau people that we deal with or have dealt with are, what we would call parliamentary salafists. Call parliamentary salafists. Those who seek to achieve that by parliamentary. But all by parliamentary means. But all of those on the salafist line and a salafi is a, pious predecessor. That is, those who believe in things which only happenedin believe in things which only happened in the first three generations of islam, i. E. Very strict and literal interpretation of the quran, those are problematic in a liberal democracy. Well, what about , so because well, what about, so because to me, this definition could potentially encompass, say, a muslim party, do you think that that would be covered under that definition , if it would appear definition, if it would appear that the party are attempting to undermine democracy . Because i undermine democracy . Because i think thats one of the reasons why, definition has been why, this definition has been updated in this manner, because you well the muslim, how updated in this manner, because you the well the muslim, how updated in this manner, because you the muslim l the muslim, how updated in this manner, because you the muslim vote muslim, how updated in this manner, because you the muslim vote is. Uslim, how updated in this manner, because you the muslim vote is doing how updated in this manner, because you the muslim vote is doing. 1ow well the muslim vote is doing. Well, the muslim the muslim vote wasnt for a party, it was for the reform party, which is believes in parliamentary democracy because its in parliament. And thats why there are parliamentary salafists. Theres no no Islamic Party at the which is engaged in the moment which is engaged in that in electoral politics at that in electoral politics at that level. If they were, they that level. If they were, they probably wouldnt be banned , probably wouldnt be banned, unless they were against those fundamental rights. Now, this is fundamental rights. Now, this is where you get into a tricky area, because most of those that i sort of mentioned in salafist line are at least ultra conservative. And therefore for our, homophobic , misogynistic our, homophobic, misogynistic against the rights of sexual or running out of time. So im going to have to leave it there, chip. But really good to talk to you. That is Major General chip chapman, this is gb news way. Panel my news on the way. My panel and my monologue. Enjoy looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers.

Nana. Thank you aaron. Good afternoon. Youre with me. Im afternoon. Youre with me. Im nana akua. This is gb news on tv , online and on Digital Radio. Its fast approaching five minutes after 4 00. What the hell is going on with the press and the royal family . After the hullabaloo over photo gate , hullabaloo over photo gate, which involved a very badly edhed which involved a very badly edited photo by princess catherine. Poor woman, the press went to town on her. Admittedly it was full of obvious errors to the trained eye, but so what . For anyone who missed it, where have you been . On mothers day . Have you been . On mothers day . Last sunday, princess catherine issued what many thought was a heartfelt picture of her family. Heartfelt picture of her family. It was lovely in attempting to practise her amateur photoshopping skills, she has caused uproar and uproar. That was enough to put anyone off photography for good. The picture was apparently taken by william and was meant to signify a happy mothers day to one and all designed to quell the rumours. After all, we hadnt seen catherine around for a while since the surgery, and this was meant to show that the queen in waiting was a okay. Now i cant really explain why the press this week was so curious, but the fascination has led to some people suggesting some sort of constitutional crisis. Come on people behave. Its just a badly edited picture. Just because princess charlottes wrist didnt match her sleeve and her hair ended abruptly, or luis jumper didnt line up and his right hand was blurred. Catherine had a wonky zip and an out of focus hand, and three airbrushed individual hairs. Her wedding ring was even missing. The background was dodgy. The only person who escaped catherines enthusiasm was prince george. But just because prince george. But just because of all of that and more, how have these people come up with the idea that theres some sort of constitutional crisis going on . Bless her heart, poor catherine, why she ever catherine, why should she ever want to try again . This reaction would put any aspiring student off photography for life. Frankly, i couldnt work out what all the fuss was about. In the meantime , Meghan Markle, the the meantime, Meghan Markle, the duchess of sussex, on the fourth anniversary of her so called freedom fight and just before the tribute to diana, has launched her new lifestyle brand. Honestly, you couldnt make this up. We got to see a glimpse of her product empire four years they flew four years to the day they flew to canada in 2020 for privacy. To canada in 2020 for privacy.

Former labour partybroadcaster andyv laza and again to my panel. Former labour partybroadcaster and columnist also broadcaster and columnist lizzie cundy. Well, ive obviously got to start with lizzie cundy on a royal story on the royals. What the hell were people talking about . This one. Poor all shes done poor catherine, all shes done is put out a picture, a genuine, heartfelt picture. What the hell heartfelt picture. What the hell was going on this week . It was crazy. It was crazy. It was a storm in a media teacup. It really was. And look, catherine, we know shes had surgery. Shes been , you know, surgery. Shes been, you know, hasnt been seen since december. So when, you know, everyone saw this picture, they just went into a frenzy about it and then found 16 mistakes. As i said , found 16 mistakes. As i said, then i should have done the photoshopping for her. Id have done a much betterjob, but look, everyone photoshops or done a much betterjob, but look, averyone photoshops or done a much betterjob, but look, a bityone photoshops or done a much betterjob, but look, a bit of e photoshops or done a much betterjob, but look, a bit of editing shops or done a much betterjob, but look, a bit of editing oryps or does a bit of editing or filtering, you know , huge filtering, you know, huge percentage on instagram, im sure do it. So does our catherine. And please, can we leave her alone enough is enough. I just felt i had to do that monologue to let people know that shes only human. Leave her alone. This is just a photo. But some people were saying, shes getting a taste of what meghan got. Think. Got. I dont think. Yeah, dont come at it from got. I dont think. Yperspective. Come at it from got. I dont think. Yperspective. I me at it from got. I dont think. Yperspective. I mean, it from that perspective. I mean, i think was a bit odd that think it was a bit odd that nobody in the palace spotted it because people because unlike most people are posting family snaps to instagram, whole instagram, theres a whole press office team there to vet these photographs office team there to vet these photog so phs office team there to vet these photogso 11s office team there to vet these photogso i think particularly there, so i think particularly in context of the internet in the context of the internet being silly and social being its silly self and social media, daft media, with all these daft rumours about what may or may not to her. I not have happened to her. I think that because of that, i mean, its not a constitutional crisis, but people kind of there was a lot of sort of, you know, people head of steam up people get a head of steam up about wasnt the best about it. It wasnt the best way of with put of dealing with that, to put a photo shopped picture out. So somebody spotted it. Photo shopped picture out. So somasody spotted it. Photo shopped picture out. So somasody you spotted it. Photo shopped picture out. So somasody you know, ytted it. But as you say, you know, shes only human. But the sentiment was say but the sentiment was to say happy it was happy mothers day. It was lovely. Why cant we just lovely. And why cant we just respect leave alone respect that and leave her alone 7 respect that and leave her alone . Think its absurd the . I just think its absurd the way this press frenzy has way this this press frenzy has gone about. But do you think then, having seen what happened there, because sort said, oh, seen what happened there, bec press sort said, oh, seen what happened there, bec press isnt sort said, oh, seen what happened there, bec press isnt thatyrt said, oh, seen what happened there, bec press isnt that that said, oh, seen what happened there, bec press isnt that that that, oh, the press isnt that that that kind almost it feel kind of almost makes it feel like was right about what like meghan was right about what she was saying about the press. Because watched it, saw because weve watched it, we saw it, and what the it, seen it and thought what the hell is going on . Because think theres no, because i think theres a particular context. A press, the and look, a robust press, the press, know, the royal press, you know, the royal families from families are not immune from criticism. The things families are not immune from criti really the things families are not immune from criti really annoys 1e things families are not immune from criti really annoys mehings families are not immune from criti really annoys me about that really annoys me about harry is this idea that we should know, should just all be, you know, doffing oh, doffing our caps and going, oh, thank much, kind sir. Thank you very much, kind sir. And actually, when queen victoria, because of victoria, it wasnt because of an you know, when an operation, but you know, when she mourning she went into mourning for several prince several years, when Prince Albert died, people were, you know, she was a total figure of fun. Press was much more fun. And the press was much more scurrilous in the cartoons that were in the, in the were circulating in the, in the press then than anything we would see now. So you know, youve got to, you know, were not back to deferential not going back to a deferential age need learn that. Age and they need to learn that. I think meghan now but i think meghan now relaunching herself i mean shes had relaunching herself i mean shes hac have not ordered have you not ordered anything. Shes will come back. So expecting merch. So i was expecting some merch. Yeah i mean meghans had more comebacks in the bay city rollers and you know i just rollers and you know and i just think is quite think her timing is quite insensitive and its deliberate and, and she can change her name on the instagram, her website as many times as she wants, but she still is the same person , and still is the same person, and she still did what she did to the royal family and people and to her own family indeed. And the public wont forget that. Thats the thing. And im sorry i you know, you want to watch this. Her i you know, you want to watch this. Her stirring a bowl as if she does cooking , letting she does any cooking, letting friends know it would never have happened to me. And Walking Around ground to some around in a ball ground to some jazz mean, seriously , i jazz music. I mean, seriously, i just think the timing is really wrong. Its very insensitive. Wrong. Its very insensitive. Especially whats going on with catherine. Sorry, catherine. And im sorry, meghan, to meghan, youre never going to top dog. If you were harry, yeah. If you were harry, youd very the youd be very upset by the timing as because timing as well, because obviously, harry obviously, you know, harry didnt would. Obviously, you know, harry did well, would. Obviously, you know, harry did well, he would. Obviously, you know, harry did well, he alwaysld. Obviously, you know, harry did well, he always talks about well, he always talks about his that he just his mother so much that he just lost all. You think just you think hes just lost . You think hes just lost . Hes completely lost touch of reality. You reality. I think if you, you know, really get know, i just dont really get whats going on there. Hes really still hes really really angry. Still hes really bitter from what i can and bitter from what i can see. And he blames the press heavily for all of this. And i dont think thats going to go away any time soon. 500. worrying that the and its worrying that the two looks very two brothers, it looks very unlikely to ever unlikely theyre going to ever make they were make peace. When they were so opposite, cant be opposite, they cant even be on the room. Harry the same room. Even when harry is going on virtually. Its a real worry. This family is split real worry. This family is split in two, and im afraid meghan doesnt seem to care. You know, she just is me, me, me and she doesnt care. Absolutely. Absolutely. Its going to be the law of diminishing returns, isnt it . I mean, the shes mean, you know, the more shes going a sense , shes so going to in a sense, shes so isolated from the royal family, going to in a sense, shes so isolthei from the royal family, going to in a sense, shes so isolthe magicthe royal family, going to in a sense, shes so isolthe magic stardustl family, going to in a sense, shes so isolthe magic stardust ofamily, going to in a sense, shes so isolthe magic stardust of the y, her the magic stardust of the royal family will eventually wear shell be somebody wear off and shell be somebody they to. And, you they dont speak to. And, you know, her to know, even her lure to the americans, weve is americans, which weve seen is already decreasing, may over already decreasing, may go over time. Way. That was the way. That was the way. But see her link with but you see her link with with the royals being a royal was was her interesting. Was was made her interesting. Yeah. And now she hasnt got that. Really wanting to that. Are we really wanting to know cooked in that know what she cooked in that bowl . Sure if her career bowl .

Thats another one who will be a rubbish leader, because such a good because the mps did such a good job not electing rishi sunak and ignonng job not electing rishi sunak and ignoring tory membership. Theyre going to do it again. Theyre going to do it again. The members want suella or boris, not someone who doesnt the members want suella or boris,what;omeone who doesnt the members want suella or boris,what aneone who doesnt the members want suella or boris,what a woman ho doesnt the members want suella or boris,what a woman is.

And dave on the royal said the princess of wales is all those who is loved by all those who value this its its values this country. Its its values and way of life. Absolutely. And do they love her do you know what . They love her in is in america as well, which is really, really right . So really, really good, right . So lets you think lets see, what do you think then regard to the then with regard to the election. Me now is election. So joining me now is reform danczuk , reform partys Simon Danczuk, former pound former labour mp Stephen Pound and commentators peter and political commentators peter spence and benedict, Peter Spencer and benedict spence. The two the two ss be warned theyre here. Right. So what do you think im going to start with you, benedict spence, do you think that perhaps the tories are right to look to replace the leader . Replace the leader . I thought for a very long time it would have been a mistake to replace rishi sunak. But i think that its kind of got to a stage in the last couple of months, where one has to sort of weigh up which is to sort of weigh up the which is the damage risk getting the greater damage risk getting rid of him now or keeping him, i think the, the major obstacle for the last couple of months was always, well, who else would you who else is actually a you get . Who else is actually a better option think that better option now . I think that hes plumbed hes actually plumbed sufficient depths it almost doesnt depths that it almost doesnt matter if there arent sort of any immediately better. Candidates on the basis that simply rishi himself. I simply rishi sunak himself. I think , has just projecting an think, has just projecting an image think image of incompetence. I think everything that he and his team put out there, along with, jeremy hunt, whether its, you know, a part of the budget or its a sort of a social policy or an immigration policy. Nothing is received particularly positively. People dont trust. People dont trust i think people dont trust the tory party generally, but they certainly dont trust him to actually follow through with any pledges. To actually follow through with any thenledges. To actually follow through with any then the jes. To actually follow through with any then the question does so then the question does have be, is it you have to be, is it are you actually risking that much damage, rid of him at damage, getting rid of him at this stage . Whereas this late stage . Whereas actually, need actually, you know what you need , even if youre not anticipating a much anticipating getting in a much better leader than him. What you needis better leader than him. What you need is a team going into number 10 ready an 10 that is ready to fight an election. I dont think rishi sunak and his Team Currently are, interesting, but, incompetence. I think a lot of them all are, Simon Danczuk. What are your thoughts . Oh, the anti conservative feeling in the country is substantial, anti conservative feeling in the country is substantial , to say country is substantial, to say the least. It doesnt matter whos leading the conservatives into this general election. They are going to be treated very badly by the electorate. People want rid of them. Mean, theres no doubt i mean, theres no doubt about that. See government as they see this government as having on immigration, on having failed on immigration, on on the economy, on defence, on walker. Itsjust on the economy, on defence, on walker. Its just utter failure. I mean , it doesnt matter i mean, it doesnt matter whether they replace sunak or not. Thats the truth of the m atter. Matter. Do you think, pete . Peter spencer , the idea of replacing spencer, the idea of replacing rishi sunak at this stage foisting upon the electorate yet another tory leader . I mean, i have to say, as they tend to say, within the sounds of bow bells, you having a laugh . Me old china, i mean, a laugh . Me old china, i mean, look, i can perfectly well see why they would like a different leader , because rishi sunak, to leader, because rishi sunak, to my mind, played an extremely good hand when he was the chancellor. With the furlough scheme , dishy rishi and all scheme, dishy rishi and all that. But its a different skill set when you, when you are the Prime Minister for that you need Political Savvy and that much has manifestly been lacking in the two prime examples of frank hester and the lee andrew doyle, sorry, lee anderson, i do beg your pardon, in brazil, you call him. Him. Well, sorry, its private eye. They call him lisa hartle. For someone who kind of reason. For someone who kind of reason. Anyway, letting that pass. Yeah im sure they would love to have a new leader, but im reminded when even thinking about it, this stage of those folk and that orchestra playing on the deck of the titanic. Maybe if you have a jolly sing song, the ship wont sink. But maybe there are fairies on the end of the garden. I dont think so. Garden. I dont think so. Stephen pound. Stephen pound. Yeah. Hi, nada. Yeah. Hi, nada. Look, politically , ive got look, politically, ive got no skin in the game, but as someone who actually cares about this country, the answer has to be what would it do this country, the answer has to be our what would it do this country, the answer has to be our internationalt would it do this country, the answer has to be our International Reputation do to our International Reputation and above all, our International Competence our International Competence and our International Stability . The money markets would us would actually flee from us rushing even faster than people onto the lifeboat to the titanic. If we had yet another penod titanic. If we had yet another period of infighting of ferrets in the sack, it would be the worst possible message we can send to the money markets. The more interesting question is where are the conservatives going and what are the conservatives come what conservatives for . Come what may, theres going to be a major change, whether the change, whether its after the election. It wont be election. I hope it wont be before election the sake before the election for the sake of but the of the country. But the conservatives decide conservatives have to decide are they to be they ever going to be conservative , or have they conservative again, or have they ceded ground to, dare ceded that ground to, dare i say, danczuk and a few of say, Simon Danczuk and a few of his friends . Because it looks to me as outsider here and me as an outsider here and someone, said, doesnt someone, as i said, who doesnt have the game is if the have skin in the game is if the conservatives, traditional conservatives, the traditional conservatives, conservatives, the traditional conse homezs, conservatives, the traditional consehome and conservatives, the traditional conse home and theyve left the gone home and theyve left the Playing Field to another team, well, you make a good well, i think you make a good point as well about the embarrassment world embarrassment on the world stage. Embarrassment on the world stagemean, must be i mean, people must be watching going, watching and going, oh, not again, their in again, putting their hands in their hands and their head, in their hands and thinking, what the hell has happened United Kingdom . Happened to the United Kingdom . But he mentioned and but simon, he mentioned you. And i that i think i actually think that i think the conservatives will end up being the Third Political party. Well, yeah, the reform party are currently in third position, which is quite incredible. We are on 12, 13, 14 in the opinion polls doing very well. The conservatives are down to 18. Its quite feasible that we overtake them at some stage. And weve only been around for four, 3 or 4 years as a political party. So we are making people want change. Thats the reality of it. They want people in of it. They want people in government who are going to challenge edge on these big issues. And thats not what the conservatives have done. As conservatives have done. As i said earlier, its been one failure after another. And the failure after another. And the fact that lee anderson has come over to reform is significant. Weve now got our first reform mp. It looks like he could well win ashfield at the general election. Thats what some of the paulines are suggesting is exceptionally popular. People are joining the party in droves. Droves so its looking pretty good for reform. We could become the second party at this rate, but it expense. But it expense. You are saying that they might as well change. Leader. Youve been humming inaya about it, Stephen Powell it, but i think Stephen Powell makes point that its the makes a good point that its the embarrassment as well on the world whilst. And what world stage whilst. And what policies and politics will be, world stage whilst. And what poli them. I mean , when we, when were i mean, when we, when were talking about the world stage, a none of those people actually vote for the Prime Ministers. B, its not as weve and b, its not as if weve been doing particularly good been doing a particularly good job our allies on job of reassuring our allies on the that were the world stage that were particularly functioning particularly well functioning country as things currently stand, on stand, you know that were on the brink, potentially, of a of another further another war, a further escalation in europe. Escalation of the war in europe. And of the only and were one of the only countries cutting countries in europe cutting funding forces. Funding for our armed forces. What is the what what is the International Community make of that . Government that . And thats the government that . And thats the government that mean, look, i understand that . And thats the government thatargumentsyk, i understand that . And thats the government thatarguments thatunderstand that . And thats the government thatarguments that people and that . And thats the government thatarguments that people are the arguments that people are saying, want sort saying, you dont want to sort of the horses. Know, of spook the horses. You know, it electoral suicide to it would be electoral suicide to change, change change, have another change right things got right now. But things have got that that actually if you that bad that actually if you keep rishi sunak, you are basically accepting that youre going to lose very badly you going to lose very badly if you keep sunak because its keep rishi sunak because its not himself, not just about sunak himself, its that he puts its about the team that he puts around him. Id argue almost thats important. About thats as important. Its about the rishi sunak you the messaging rishi sunak you know, as pointed out, he know, as was pointed out, he played good job when he played a pretty good job when he was chancellor. Able to was chancellor. He was able to do he was not able to do it, but he was not able to perhaps, transfer one perhaps, transfer from the one job the particularly. Job to the other particularly. Think thats as well. So i think thats as much important thing. Much an important thing. Wouldnt say theres i wouldnt say that theres any in changing rishi any point in changing from rishi sunak would sunak to Penny Mordaunt. I would say still the major say that thats still the major barrier changing. Leader barrier to changing. Leader is saying, who is saying, well, who else is actually better . But thats not to would be to say that it would be necessarily a bad thing. Its about finding somebody who would sort imagination of sort of grab the imagination of the perhaps tempt people the voters, perhaps tempt people from reform. But from going over to reform. But as we saw actually at a number of previous elections, of the previous by elections, its not much people its not so much about people going its about tory going to reform. Its about tory voters turning out to voters just not turning out to voters just not turning out to vote you need to vote at all. You just need to motivate out and motivate them to come out and vote place. Vote in the first place. Think its more well, i think its more about people whos going to people grabbing whos going to grab the as it grab the helm of the ship as it goes the cliff. As its goes over the cliff. As its going its just theyre going on, its just theyre just deciding who whos going to lead this thing to the floor. Stephen pound yeah, i have to say, in my neighbour days, very seldom did a go cliff. A ship go over the cliff. But know. But you know. But you know. This one this one well this one is this one literally is what killed liz truss and what damn nearly killed the british economy was the International Credit agencies. It was standards and poor. It was moodys. Its people like that. They had look at us and that. They had a look at us and they are longer a they said, you are no longer a safe financial yeah. Were safe financial bet. Yeah. Were no to invest in no longer going to invest in british gilts. Were not going to the pound to invest in the in the pound sterling as a reserve currency. That problem. That is the real problem. I mean, right that hes mean, benedicts right that hes always right. He knows but always right. He knows that. But when know, the when he says that, you know, the people the world dont people around the world dont have well, to be honest, people around the world dont h. Lot well, to be honest, people around the world dont h. Lot of well, to be honest, people around the world dont h. Lot of themell, to be honest, people around the world dont h. Lot of them do, to be honest, people around the world dont h. Lot of them do, actually. 1est, people around the world dont h. Lot of them do, actually. But. People around the world dont h. Lorealityam do, actually. But. People around the world dont h. Lorealityam do,the ually. But. People around the world dont h. Lorealityam do,the creditbut. The reality is its the credit agencies it would be agencies who do. And it would be the worst possible message the united would would United Kingdom would be would not be open for business, would not be open for business, would not would be not be capable, would not be stable sound. If stable and financially sound. If we another and we had yet another ban and it would we just have one. Would we then go on Penny Mordaunt, then go on with Penny Mordaunt, then go on with Penny Mordaunt, then heaven knows. Then be attacked . Heaven knows. Look, through the look, lets get through to the election. What election. Lets find out what happens. The cards happens. Lets let the cards fall they and fall where they may, and then let conservatives a let the conservatives have a long, quiet, calm period of re evaluation. To re evaluation. They need to decide and for all. What decide once and for all. What are they for . Because, believe you message is not you me, the message is not coming out, getting across at the moment. Spencer i mean, its Peter Spencer i mean, its quite interesting picking up on the Penny Mordaunt theme because the Penny Mordaunt theme because the leader of the commons as she is, shes regarded as a moderate and the punt i could use and the current punt i could use my word carefully here, is that shes. Pardon me, gentlemen, excuse you. Anyway, letting that excuse you. Anyway, letting that pass , i mean, she is apparently pass, i mean, she is apparently being mooted by those on the right of the party, which does seem to add up to Something Like a something to draw the party back into a one party rather than a two party status that it currently seems to occupy. But i currently seems to occupy. But i have to say again about changing leader at this stage it would be all very well in this parallel universe. But as things are quite frankly , its la la land quite frankly, its la la land and obviously there was no no offence within those words at all. Simon danczuk final to you .

And all of those of us inside the labour knew and the labour party knew that. And i tories know that i think the tories know that now, why, as you now, which is why, as you say, nobody defend them fully nobody will defend them fully because like because theyre fighting like rabbits to ferrets sack. Forward to ferrets in a sack. Looking cats . Looking forward to is it cats . Im from the north. Its ferrets north ferrets up north now. I dont have them down here. Youd see them geordie as well. I obviously left out here. But youre definitely from but youre definitely not from the north but can i. Well actually my mothers from but you know the from southport, but you know the story. In the north have the, story. In the north we have the, the biggest tax for 70 years that love lustre budget was dull, dull, dull. That love lustre budget was dull, dull, dull. You know, we dull, dull, dull. You know, we were hoping there would be a big rabbit pulled out of the hat. We need election. We need an election. We need an election. And the rabbit off and the rabbit had run off into got three days to change hes got three days to change his mind. Wednesday can change. Listen, look, the conservatives are failing. Theyve failure theyve been a massive failure for 14 years. Full of for the last 14 years. Full of lies. This high lies. Weve got this high immigration, highest tax. People want absolutely want to change. Absolutely which is why they need need the election now.

Yeah, shes not as she. And thats what they need. They actually need a miracle. They do say be more to say i would be more useful to them. You join us. Them. But if you just join us. Welcome this gb news welcome aboard. This is gb news on and on digital on tv, online and on Digital Radio. Panel were discussing. Radio. My panel were discussing. But think . Show but what do you think . This show is . Nothing without you and your views. So welcome our views. So lets welcome our great their Great British voice. Their opportunity to the show opportunity to be on the show and what they think and tell us what they think about were about the topics were discussing should we head discussing today. Should we head over map to bristol . Over to the map to bristol . Lets have a chat with leigh harris. Lets have a chat with leigh harris. Leigh harris, the tory party. Theyre talking about another leader , what do you another leader, what do you think . I know its crazy. Its a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic how. Now. Nana. I mean, weve been discussing this for a long time , discussing this for a long time, havent we . I mean, one thing is for certain. The tories are going get annihilated. And in going to get annihilated. And in my sunak an my view, rishi sunak is an untrustworthy , weak, spineless, untrustworthy, weak, spineless, useless, backstabbing liar. And hes. Hes got to go. Dont mince words. Dont mince words. I laughed out loud today, times article i read today. Nana it said that some cabinet ministers are no longer convinced that rishi sunak is the right pm to lead the tories into the next election. I mean, no longer convinced i found this utterly staggering. These ministers clearly have the political instincts of a house brick. They are. Theyre so out of touch. Its embarrassing. I mean, you do not need to be a political expert or a tory insider to know that the conservatives are currently, on a path to electoral oblivion. If they do nothing and leave sunak in place, they will be lucky to retain 100 mps at the next election. So why not roll the election. So why not roll the dice . Get rid of hopeless sunak and if they get, you know, especially if theyre going to get wiped out anyway. And with all this talk about Penny Mordaunt as mordaunt tipped as a replacement, you know penny is great the despatch box, but great at the despatch box, but shes really weak on woke issues and the culture war. And it would just be more shame. Labour light out of touch woke nonsense, which is one of the biggest complaints about the tories and why theyre losing so many voters to just finish on this, if the conservatives want any hope of minimising the damage or dare we dream nana actually beating the labour party, they need a true conservative who is a strong leader and a fighter, and i think that has to be suella braverman. We need a risk taker. No, we need someone whos not afraid to speak their mind. Lee. Lee. But yeah, i just think throw the dice anyway. The dice anyway. They should they should get on with running the country and roll the dice for an election, because whoevers front of because whoevers in front of that , that ship is still going that, that ship is still going down cliff. Sorry. Lee down the cliff. Im sorry. Lee harris is not easy to talk to you. Hes a Great British voice. That is, of course, lee harris. Thank you so much for joining us. So what think us. Right. So what do you think should, should should they should, should they should they vote . New vote . Should they get a new leader . Stay tuned though, leader . Well, stay tuned though, because next, next because on the way next, my next great is im Great British debate is im asking, the be asking, should the nhs be prioritising over prioritising net zero over patient next, Patient Safety . But next, my weekly roundup royal weekly royal roundup with royal biographer. Biographer angela levin. I good afternoon. This is gp news on tv. Online and on Digital Radio. We are the peoples channel. Im nana akua. Peoples channel. Im nana akua. Now. Theres always something going the household. Going on in the royal household. And week has been no and this week has been no different. In every saturday, i love to give rundown. And love to give you a rundown. And who do so than royal who better to do so than royal biographer levin . Angela biographer angela levin . Angela its been a busy royal week, hasnt it . Its very, very oh my goodness. Yes. So talk to me about what are main things that of are the main things that of course released this are the main things that of coursewhats released this are the main things that of coursewhats going. Eased this are the main things that of coursewhats going on. Ad this are the main things that of coursewhats going on. Yeah s thing. Whats going on. Yeah ill do that a bit later. Whatever order you like. Think what we need to yeah i think what we need to understand that there is understand now is that there is a going on. There is a war a war going on. There is a war going on between and going on between meghan and harry and the rest of the royal family, and with the sussex squad theyre jumping on whenever theres anything that they can actually destroy or overcome. So when they. Now they overcome. So when they. Now they know that catherine has been quite ill. So they come up with things that are really unpleasant and nasty and people are blaming her for everything. So what if a picture isnt quite right . So what, she doesnt happen to have a wedding ring on . But theres a very, very nasty tray thats going on about that, which is really very serious. You can see that, serious. You can see that, catherine has had much more attack than king charles, who also wont explain exactly whats been wrong with him. I whats been wrong with him. I think people are entitled to keep that. We dont own them. Keep that. We dont own them. Obviously they can say something, but its really malicious. I something, but its really malicious. I think its incredibly bad. And the irony of it is, is the hypocrisy of meghan and harry at the. So are you saying that theyre behind some of this . Yes. I ask, saying that. I ask, saying that. I ask, saying that. I am saying that. Do you have evidence of that . Well, i, have very strong well, i, i have very strong inclinations about that and the way they behave. So yeah, my views and, you know, to talk to the womens, she was with a womens discussion a few weeks ago and she said, you know, what matters is to understand people through your action to be very kind and very that theyre not being very kind. Theyre not. And i think for her to have the have her new, podcast or not, not a podcast to have her her new act of starting a whole life as a cooking guru, the just at the time when its about dianas, charity is absolutely terrible. Now it says two terrible. Now it says two things. One, harry, now that dont feel so close to his mother. When i was with him , he mother. When i was with him, he was always feeling that his mother was with him helping him, perhaps now he doesnt think that. Well, i think he feels like hes transferred onto meghan. Shes taking that role . Yes but they would argue that this is four years to the day that they had their freedom and left the uk. Yes, but thats a poor thing to say. Thats not whats important. Important is, important. Whats important is, is dianas awards, and the fact that perhaps harry doesnt have a say in anything. What meghans doing now, and shes coming up with a royal, a regal sort of a and r for the title. America an, whatever it is ridiculous nonsense name, and to, that its all gone, that its all perfect for her. Well actually, you cant do anything with that for first page. Nothings happening for a few weeks, so its just to tell you so you didnt need to do it on that day. It wasnt something that had been for prepared ages. So what shes released is just like a one page, one page . Yes. The day or pretty yes. On the day or pretty much no nothing thats going to happenin no nothing thats going to happen in a in a month or so. So theres nothing there, just one page. You cant you cant around about the same time. Cant buy anything. You you cant buy anything. You cant. Your name cant. You can put your name down information. But down to receive information. But its there yet. So its nothing is there yet. So the thing is to do it when everybodys down, when the king is unwell, when the catherine is unwell, when william is very stressed. And you can actually make a big impression and you can win, you can show them that youre that they are better, they are organised and they are more organised and anything they can do, they can do better. I think its absolutely dreadful. And the fact that harry could give in to that and spend, you know, talking where he was in, in skiing , to the people whove won skiing, to the people whove won the awards i thought was absolutely appalling, its , its absolutely appalling, its, its it is very tragic, actually. I think its very, very sorry and very sad. And that they , the and very sad. And that they, the two brothers dont want to be anywhere near each other is, is very upsetting. But there it is. Very upsetting. But there it is. I think have understand i think you have to understand that got real enemies that youve got real enemies there and all the sort of were coming to london one week because we want to get more popular , which means they want popular, which means they want to come to london so they can sell their goods. The jam, the sell their goods. The jam, the tablecloths, the butter, all those things he wants, the things that the standard general broken. A promise they made to the late queen, which is terrible. She said. You cant use the royal titles if you want to make commercial gain and thats what theyve done. So its a huge insult. Its even worse than the dreadful curtsy that meghan did in in the, netflix , programs about them. Netflix, programs about them. And that was very rude. That was extremely nasty and spiteful, especially with a silly voice that she put on. And this is even worse because theyre trying to make money on the back of the royal family. Well, thats all thats all theyve ever been doing, isnt it . That is all that theyve ever been doing. But i think when youre commercial youre being totally commercial and all these things so and selling all these things so that they have loads of money, she probably will get a lot of money. I dont know if it will be much. So popular as a be so much. So popular as a taoiseach, do that taoiseach, but i do think that people will buy the stuff from her because it will be very expensive and it will be something you can show off and be of. But think that be proud of. But i do think that theres no kindness there. Theres no sympathy. She, theres no sympathy. She, theres just pretence and acting. And i think the royal family cant do anything yet. And thats what theyre taking advantage of. I think its advantage of. I think its a really serious attack. Well, its until 11. Thank you so much for that. That is a brilliant and 11 royal biographer. She wrote prince harrys biography. It is just harrys biography. It is just terrible whats happened to him. Well listen.

She struggled with weight gain due to an underactive thyroid. After her underactive thyroid. After her second child, she battled feelings of inadequacy and social pressures to fit a central a certain mould. However her experience on naked beach became a turning point, leading her to realise that the true change wasnt about altering her body but transforming her mindset. And im very pleased to say that Danielle Broadbent joins me now. Danielle, thank you so much forjoining me. Oh, thanks for having me in. I start listening to you and thinking, yeah, i did that. Thats me. Thats me. There was more. There was so much more. I just stopped reading in the middle and thought, ask thought, im just gonna ask you myself youve so myself because youve done so much , in such kind of much really, in such a kind of short of time. Short space of time. Yeah, really short, yeah, ive been really short, i now and think, wow , i look back now and think, wow, thats really happened. Its been a bit of a whirlwind, but a good one, a very positive one, and im proud of it. So take me back to the birth of second child, because of your second child, because you obviously of your second child, because you on obviously of your second child, because you on weight obviously of your second child, because you on weight to obviously of your second child, because you on weight to have bviously of your second child, because you on weight to have the usly of your second child, because you on weight to have the child , put on weight to have the child, but then were pretty. But before then you were pretty. What because this what size were you . Because this was that. Was the big thing that. I mean, mean, ive yeah, i mean, i mean, ive two children, at least in two children, at least here in my i, you know, from my care, when i, you know, from having first child, id having my first child, id probably comfortable size ten probably a comfortable size ten and i bounced pretty much straight a 10 after straight into a 10 to 12 after having alicia. But before having alicia. But just before i had my kit, i discovered a few months before, that i had an underactive thyroid before i, you know, conceived, obviously, and it was just a very difficult. Well, a different , recovery well, a different, recovery after having, you know, childbirth with just how my body healed and, and my mind. But as well, the weight side of things, i just couldnt. I of things, i just couldnt. I was so expecting to just. You know, fly back into, you know, the my size 12 to 14 jeans then. But i just want the case. What were the symptoms for you . For the underactive thyroid that made you think, oh, hang on, theres something wrong here. Yeah. On, theres something wrong herand ah. On, theres something wrong herand ili. On, theres something wrong herand it were going and it were going on for quite and one thing and it were going on for quite thyroid and one thing and it were going on for quite thyroid hypothyroidism is about thyroid hypothyroidism is that sometimes you dont pick, you know, its not that obvious, but for me, it really was. So, i were my muscles were ripping. Id turn over in bed and like, the side of me, you know, youd feel, you know, like when you pull a muscle, it would feel feel, you know, like when you pullthat. Rscle, it would feel feel, you know, like when you pullthat. Rsclidt would feel feel, you know, like when you pullthat. Rsclid justuld feel feel, you know, like when you pullthat. |sclid just be feel like that. Or id just be putting, jeans on putting, you know, jeans on and my would ache. You know, my arms would ache. You know, i were keen, a keen dancer. And i were keen, a keen dancer. And i were doing, like, a bit not boxing to fight people, but, you know, just the fitness aspect of it, training at my local boxing gym and i just couldnt keep up anymore where id, you know, fly through them workouts before. Through them workouts before. And it was the person that i were actually training with who said, blood said, i think you need a blood test because isnt like test because this isnt like you. Was so tired. You. You know, i was so tired. I were very emotional. My had were very emotional. My hair had thinned and my voice were really horsey. My face puffy and horsey. My face was puffy and i didnt. Id not heard of hypothyroidism then. So you know, i didnt know what was wrong with me. I were really worried though. And, yeah. And worried though. And, yeah. And i went for blood and it went for a blood test and it just from there. Just went from there. Really . And how many really . So. And how many years ago was that . And so that will have been maybe 2000. Yeah. 2009, 2009, and yeah, when i had the blood test, the doctor rang and he said, you need to come to the surgery straight away, straight away. So i was thinking, oh my god, you know whats wrong with me . Got there, me . And when i got there, he said, have severe case of said, you have a severe case of hypothyroidism we need hypothyroidism and we need to get control because get it under control now because it really dangerous it is really dangerous if its not, god, what are the not, oh my god, what are the implications for it . What if you if you dont treat it, if it goes unnoticed, it can lead to heart disease. If i wanted to heart disease. If i wanted to have any more children, it could lead to, you know, youre not being carry children being able to carry children anymore. Can it can lead to, anymore. It can it can lead to, you know, cancer. It can lead to all sorts. But, you know, maybe all sorts. But, you know, maybe the controls much the thyroid controls pretty much all your body. So your organs, you know , your hair, your, your you know, your hair, your, your moods, absolutely everything. So moods, absolutely everything. So it can lead you to being, like, mentally unstable if youre not, if you dont control it. God, theres so many things. God, theres so many things. Its interesting, isnt it, that the there are lots of these things kind of attack us women, especially after youve given birth , if birth during pregnancy, if youve got any autoimmune type conditions, they seem to pregnancy is so its so challenging isnt and can challenging isnt it . And it can really change your body. So with this it meant that you put on weight. How did you deal with that . Because you were you started off with size 1012. Youve got a bit bigger when you were pregnant. Now , you know were pregnant. But now, you know to realise that weight is to realise that your weight is gaining. Did you cope . Gaining. What . How did you cope . Will is well, one thing i will say is with underactive thyroid , with the underactive thyroid, and people watching it will with the underactive thyroid, and that people watching it will with the underactive thyroid, and that you3le watching it will with the underactive thyroid, and that you can vatching it will with the underactive thyroid, and that you can stilling it will with the underactive thyroid, and that you can still loset will know that you can still lose weight. Itsjust know that you can still lose weight. Its just a know that you can still lose weight. Itsjust a bit know that you can still lose weight. Its just a bit harder to. Right. So my mindset then was really need to be slim was i really need to be slim again, cant, i cant do it. Again, i cant, i cant do it. You know, its been slimmer every its pointless. You know i dont want to be anything else. So, i really struggled with it. You know, i did every diet going, you know, from, from like, shakes to, to, like, the big diet, you know, well known diets that are out there, and, you know, and it did work. It did work, but it just, you know, youd go to, you know, get weighed on a monday and somebody who doesnt, didnt suffer from a hypothyroidism would lose more weight than you. You know, youd be there with your £2 and theyd be there with your £2 and theyd be six. So its be there with six. So its just a slower but is achievable. But then if you want if but then if you want to, if you want to. Being slim you want to. And being slim isnt be all and end all. Isnt the be all and end all. Oh absolutely i mean, oh absolutely not. I mean, you obviously for health you know, obviously for health reasons, you know youve got i wont sit promote being wont ever sit and promote being unhealthy. Think that unhealthy. But i do think that youve got to you can only do that if you want to do it. You know i wont allow anyone to say to me, well, you could really do with, you know, losing a bit of weight. My choice. You weight. Thats my choice. You know. And, and were at that know. And, and i were at that point, think society point, though i think society and the way, you know, i felt i felt like it were i werent going to be as successful in my job if i want thinner. I werent going to be selected for a promotion. If i want thinner, i werent going to be as attractive want thinner. Attractive if i want thinner. And i did naked beach, attractive if i want thinner. Aactually i did naked beach, attractive if i want thinner. Aactually realisediid naked beach, attractive if i want thinner. Aactually realised thatiked beach, i actually realised that actually that, you know, im actually that, you know, im actually happierjust going with actually happier just going with the flow and, and if i lose a few pounds, great. If i dont, fine. Did you know what naked beach all when you were . I mean, it sounds pretty obvious youre going on a obvious youre going to be on a beach thats im thinking. Well, want, but no, well, i want, but no, i didnt, i didnt. Is it . Whats it about . What is it . Whats it about . Because didnt but because i didnt see it. But ive, you know, about it. So. Yeah. Well when i did the show there were no title, because if it had been, if id have known it were called naked beach, id never have have known it were called naked beaciit. Id never have have known it were called naked beaciit. Never, id never have have known it were called naked beaciit. Never, but� d never have have known it were called naked beaciit. Never, but it never have have known it were called naked beaciit. Never, but it waser have have known it were called naked beaciit. Never, but it was all, ve done it.

So i was on as a girl who would put on a bit of weight and were really unhappy with how i looked, but were people really unhappy with how i looke who it were people really unhappy with how i looke who it we know, yple really unhappy with how i looke who it weknow, had had there who who, you know, had had breast and had breast Breast Cancer and had a breast removed, people removed, and there were people there alopecia and lots of there with alopecia and lots of Different Things people, Different Things where people, you a bit inadequate you know, felt a bit inadequate in society. And the overall message were theres a lot more going on in the world and, and you as a person than what size dress are you wearing today are, you know, how short your hair is, are you know, the fact that youve had Breast Cancer and youve, youve, youve come through it. Its great. You know, we can reconstruct your breast , which obviously me sat breast, which obviously me sat here really here saying that is a really easy for to say, but easy thing for me to say, but someone actually going through easy thing for me to say, but someits actually going through easy thing for me to say, but someits completelying through easy thing for me to say, but someits completely different. |h that, its completely different. So how you feel inside. And so its how you feel inside. And there a mindset there were, you know, a mindset coaches there with us. Mine were Felicity Haywood who is now one of my best friends, and it changed life. You know , its, changed my life. You know, its, what natasha . What about natasha . Natasha. Wow. Yeah so, natasha. Devon. Wow. Yeah so, natasha, natasha. Devon, i met natasha, natasha. Devon, i met natasha in london, and we did therapy together, and. Wow wow, that was intense. Like, she made me a dress that i would look. She had me looking in a mirror, like, tell me what you dont like, tell me what you dont like yourself. Why dont like, tell me what you dont like like yourself. Why dont like, tell me what you dont like like yand elf. Why dont like, tell me what you dont like like yand elf. Why to 1t you like it . And you had to address youd been. Address things that youd been. I didnt have a full length mirror in my house for a of mirror in my house for a lot of years, to stand there and be years, so to stand there and be like, my god, you know, like. Like, oh my god, you know, like. And like what and why dont you like it . What dont why do you dont you like . But why do you think have to be think that you have to be accountable them thoughts accountable for them thoughts and to someone else who and explain to someone else who you dont really know that. Well the whys and you cant even address that yourself. Really . So difficult. But you so that was difficult. But you know, its a process. It was therapy. Looking back now, therapy. And looking back now, im grateful for it. You know, because divided things because i divided so many things going swimming, my kids, you know, cant you know, things that you cant you cant that time back. Cant ever get that time back. Life too short. Life really is too short. Youve done since that. But youve done since that. Youve size modelling. Youve done plus size modelling. Youve done loads of stuff. Yeah , i was determined after yeah, i was determined after naked beach like, didnt naked beach to like, i didnt want anyone else to feel like id felt. So i went on a bit of a journey of encouraging, you know, who, you know, you know, women who, you know, you still can be a curvy girl and pretty. You still can be a curvy girl and successful at work and have relationships and be worthy of absolutely everything that everybody else can. You know, its theres lot worser its theres a lot worser things. There really is. So yeah, i did go on a journey. I started, a bit of a Clothing Brand at the time, which went really well. Then, did a podcast in, in lockdown. I, then went on to do motivational talks up and down the uk to women and men. You know, its not just women who have underactive thyroids and have, you know, body image problems , you know, but it was problems, you know, but it was nice to see some men in there , nice to see some men in there, you know, because i think that men dont really acknowledge it like women do, and then, yeah, i started doing the radio. So its completely been a 360 turn for me. Well, you won an award, didnt you . Yeah , i did, i won an award, yeah, i did, i won an award, ladies of the north. Its called.

So thats danielle and thats Danielle Broadbent, and shes through shes been working through an incredible shes been working through an incredi and teaching acceptance others and teaching acceptance and body positive mindset. So stay tuned. This is gb news. Its just coming up to 19 minutes after 5 00 on the way. My mini debate im asking are mps doing enough to deserve a pay mps doing enough to deserve a pay rise . I think they are getting about £93,000 or something. Thats the next amount theyll be given. But amount theyll be given. But next for the Great British debate this hour, im asking should be prioritising should the nhs be prioritising net Patient Safety . Good 7 good afternoon. Its just coming up to 22 minutes after 5 00. This is gb news. We are the peoples channel. Im nana akua. Were live on tv, online and on Digital Radio. And its time now for the Great British debate. This hour. And asking, this hour. And im asking, should prioritising should the nhs be prioritising net zero over Patient Safety . Paramedic fear that patients will be forced to wait longer for ambulances to arrive, which, as we know, the wait is already substantial. And all of this substantial. And all of this comes as the nhs is set to introduce electric ambulances, really raising concerns that the drive for net zero has been put above Patient Safety reports say that electric ambulances will take up to four hours to charge, and they will only travel an average of 70 miles. So for the Great British debate this hour, im asking should the nhs be prioritising net zero over Patient Safety . Well, im joined now by broadcaster and motoring journalist danny kelly, physicist and engineer brian catt and Deputy Director of net zero watch, Andrew Montford. Im zero watch, Andrew Montford. Im going to start with you, Andrew Montford , is this not a montford, is this not a prioritisation of net zero over safety of patients . Frankly it absolutely is. And its not just the ambulances either. Theyre also looking at decarbonising the whole of the nhs operation. And theyre also going to try and get nhs suppliers to decarbonise as well. And when you think about it, thats absolutely ridiculous. The nhs is full of materials that are made from hydrocarbons. The plastic is everywhere in the nhs because its cheap and hygienic and disposable, if were going to say were going to do without things like that, well, you know, its going to be a disaster for patients, where i live, its 40 miles to the nearest hospital. So one of these ambulances can maybe come and pick me up. But the these ambulances can maybe come and pick me up. But the next and pick me up. But the next call, well, its going to have to recharge for four hours. I mean, this is an absolutely preposterous idea. Im not quite sure how serious it actually is. They may well, in fact, be just doing this as a virtue signalling thing, and in fact, nothing or very little will happen. They will get an electric, ambulance and then theyll quietly forget about it and move on to other things. Lets hope so, because its going to be really expensive and really dangerous. Really dangerous. All right. Well, lets go to bnan all right. Well, lets go to brian catford. Just an engineer , brian catford. Just an engineer, is this a bad idea . Because im imagining that all the things within the ambulance will use electricity as well, because thats the only power source theyve got it. That theyve got in it. Isnt that a bit . Couldnt everything just suddenly switch i dont suddenly switch off . I dont i dont why you would that, dont get why you would do that, but brian. But you tell me, brian. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. The other thing is, of course you have to keep the ambulance warm, patients warm, especially if a patients in instance and the in shock or instance and the point, the point there is that the engine does that for you. The engine does that for you. And it doesnt do that in an electric vehicle. But the other electric vehicle. But the other point is no electric vehicle of this size is going to be net carbon net zero because the cradle to grave total emissions from manufacturing batteries. From manufacturing batteries. Brian, could you move back a little bit away from your mic and then because because its doing something odd. Sorry. Its echoing. Yeah. Its echoing. Echoing. Yeah. Its echoing. Am yeah you are on. I am yeah you are on. That is true. Shall i. Thats better. Thats much better. Better. Thats much better. Ill just try and sort it out. You talk to somebody else and ill shut up. No, you sound good. When youre saying that. Youre fine. But lets to danny kelly. But lets go to danny kelly. Danny, kelly. Its. Its. Its. Its a bendingly stupid proposal. Nana. Its. Nana. Its. They have energy zapping features on ambulances, like hydraulic wheelchair lifts. They have night time heaters for the patients in the back of the winter and air conditioning to keep them cool in the summer. One of your first contributors said that he lives 40 miles away from he could be from a hospital so he could be picked up 40 miles away, but he wouldnt make back. If the wouldnt make it back. If the range only 70 miles there range is only 70 miles and there lies the problem. It may work in inner cities like birmingham or london, where youre literally doing 1 or 2 miles and ferrying people around. But if you live in rural warwickshire, for example, where there are villages littered around a massive county like yorkshire, the uks biggest county, youre youre not going to have an ambulance. Thats going to be able to get down certain towns and villages and get you back to hospital. And that is the massive problem. There are three exemptions, in my view, ambulances , police cars and fire ambulances, police cars and fire engines because peoples lives will be put at risk because of this stupidity. This stupidity. I just dont understand why, even for me , who is just im not even for me, who is just im not a you know, im not a whiz on net zero. Im not an expert on climate, but even i can see that thatis climate, but even i can see that that is ludicrous. And its going to cost billions. By the way. Its going to cost way. Its going to cost a fortune, can we i want to speak to Andrew Bamford about this, because the nhs really is struggling in terms of finance, even though its given plenty of money and lots of it is getting wasted. Is this a wise hang on it wise use of their cash , andrew. Absolutely not. Because these things are all going to be much more expensive than their, traditional alternatives, if you like. But i mean, you said nana that you dont understand why they would do anything so foolish. And in many ways, i think were all here wondering why anybody is proposing anything so foolish. The reason, i think , probably is that, and i think, probably is that, and ive said this before, but possibly even on your show, that net zero climate catastrophe or climate catastrophe ism, if you like, is a religion. But this is like, is a religion. But this is not really about doing anything practical. This is about signalling membership of the religion. So people like me who religion. So people like me who say this is a stupid idea, well, you know , this, this signals you know, this, this signals that im a heretic and that i dont believe, you know, if you like correct things, but by signalling something really daft, like building an electric ambulance, well, you are showing that you are really firm in your beliefs in climate catastrophes, so , so we should expect these so, so we should expect these sort of completely irrational things to happen because thats the way the mindset works. We need as a society, i think, to get back to , a much more get back to, a much more rational approach, the rational way to look at this is its daft and we should stop doing it. And i think we should be asking questions of the health secretary. Why is this being allowed go forward . Allowed to go forward . Our money, its well, its our money, so its our money that we are paying in our money that we are paying in our to support this our taxes to support this nonsense as far as im concerned. Although, look , you concerned. Although, look, you know, weve lost the guest who would have been in support of this given some of this or given some sort of balance. Going to offer balance. So im going to offer you balance, which would be you that balance, which would be that, understand that we that, yes, we understand that we need efficient in the need to be more efficient in the way use all metals and way we use all the metals and precious things within this, within the world, so that we have good air. And, you know, everyone, Everyone Wants that. But we have to be realistic with the way were doing it. And i just, just dont understand just, i just dont understand why this should case. Why this should be the case. Ive go finally to danny ive got to go finally to danny kelly. Would there not kelly. Danny, would there not be . No way that an be . Is there no way that an electric vehicle would be a good plan . Because know plan . Because i know youre a motoring expert. You all motoring expert. You know all about vehicles. Motoring expert. You know all about vehicles. Is about different vehicles. Is there any good . Is there any positivity that could come out of using electric ambulances . Theres only negativity. No, theres only negativity. No, theres only negativity. An electric ambulance and an ambulance , powered by petrol or ambulance, powered by petrol or diesel, should be on the road available to ferry people around 24 hours a day. So you can do that with a diesel engine. You can just spend five minutes filling it up at pumps , but have to at the pumps, but you have to wait, according reports for wait, according to reports for hours. Your ambulance hours. So your your ambulance has taken out for four has been taken out for four hours of 24 hours out of a 24 hour. That one sixth of a day. That is one sixth of a day. So in effect youre going to need to sorry need to buy 60. Sorry youre going to need to buy well the equivalent shortfall in ambulances. And where are you ambulances. And where are you going to charge damn things. Going to charge the damn things. Youre have to youre then going to have to create car youre then going to have to createwith car youre then going to have to createwith charging car youre then going to have to createwith charging points. Car parks with charging points. There no benefit there is there is no benefit whatsoever. Nana i mentioned earlier there be some earlier on, there should be some exclusions , common sense exclusions, common sense exclusions, common sense exclusions, ambulances, police cars and fire engines. Your question is very specific. Should the nhs be prioritising net zero over Patient Safety . Net zero over Patient Safety . And the answer in my view is no and they will be doing so if they continue down this road. All right. All right. Thank you very much. And same question then finally, question to you. Then finally, andrew, be andrew, should they be prioritising net zero over patient because is Patient Safety because this is what were seeing. If that is the case theyre going to go down this route. What do you think yes no. Down this route. What do you thiryeah. No. Down this route. What do you thiryeah. Yeah . Down this route. What do you thiryeah. Yeah absolutely. They yeah. Yeah absolutely. They they prioritising they should be prioritising patient patient Patient Safety because Patient Safety certain safety we are absolutely certain that if people dont get ambulances that they will they will be hurt. They will die, the harms of Climate Change are still very much hypothetical , still very much hypothetical, and so, yeah, we should deal with the certainties rather than the possibilities. Interesting. Very much. Thank you much for that. Andrew you so much for that. Andrew montford and also danny kelly. See tomorrow, danny. See you tomorrow, danny. See you. See you. Thank you. Right. So thats what think. You what they think. What do you think know we did reach think we you know we did reach out we did have who out and we did have a guest who was how net was going to say how great net zero sadly just zero is, but sadly they just disappeared, news on disappeared, this is gb news on tv, online on Digital Radio.

Where have you been . Its only 21 minutes to go. Im nana akua. This is gb news on tv, online and on Digital Radio. And its time for the Great British debate this hour. And im asking, should the nhs be prioritising net zero over Patient Safety . Paramedics fear that patients will be forced to wait longer for ambulances to arrive , and this comes as the arrive, and this comes as the nhs is set to introduce electric ambulances. I mean, this is raising concerns that the drive for net zero is being put above Patient Safety. So for the Great British debate this hour, im asking should the nhs be prioritised net zero over Patient Safety . Because thats all can see it is. Matthew all i can see it is. Matthew laza. So they shouldnt be prioritising net zero over Patient Safety. But i think it is perfectly legitimate to take into account your environmental impact, doesnt impact, as long as that doesnt impact, as long as that doesnt impact on patients. So if you can do the same thing in a more environmentally sustainable can do the same thing in a more enviro ifnentally sustainable can do the same thing in a more enviro if yourey sustainable can do the same thing in a more enviro if youre goingainable can do the same thing in a more enviro if youre going to able can do the same thing in a more enviro if youre going to doe good. If youre going to do if your patients to your patients are going to suffer because the suffer because youre the choices go green, choices youve made to go green, then. Then no. So in this instance. So in this instance. So in this instance. So look, want to know more so look, i want to know more about the environmental about so look, i want to know more abo electric nvironmental about so look, i want to know more abo electric ambulances. About so look, i want to know more abo electric ambulances. Wellt so look, i want to know more aboecan ric ambulances. Wellt so look, i want to know more abo ecan they nbulances. Wellt so look, i want to know more aboecan they can. Ances. Wellt so look, i want to know more aboecan they can they 5. Wellt so look, i want to know more aboecan they can they need. Lt so look, i want to know more aboecan they can they need to they can they can they need to be charged for four hours. Yeah. So it seems to me that in 70 miles an hour they cant go faster. Yeah. Yeah. So it seems to me that in urban where an ambulance urban areas where an ambulance in never getting in london is never getting more than hour, then it than 70 miles an hour, then it may worth, you can show may be worth, if you can show that setting, that it works in that setting, then sounds to the then yes. It sounds to me at the moment a setting. Moment in a rural setting. No, remember no, but remember these things. Is powered by things. Everything is powered by electricity. So what . There was a a little ago. A report a little while ago. I think it was week that came think it was last week that came out that a lot the out that said that a lot of the so called things that your car or it can do, itll or whatever it is can do, itll say, electric car can do say, oh, electric car can do this it can that. In this and it can do that. In actual fact, of those actual fact, most of those things wrong. Actual fact, most of those thirif, wrong. Actual fact, most of those thirif, the ng. Actual fact, most of those thirif, the electric if, if, if the electric ambulance good a ambulance isnt as good as a normal a traditional normal ambulance, a traditional diesel it diesel ambulance, then no, it shouldnt but you shouldnt be used. But if you can the thing in a green can do the same thing in a green way, then im for it. But weve seen some these reports way, then im for it. But weve seenpeopleyme these reports way, then im for it. But weve seenpeopleyme asthmaeports that people have, asthma sufferers have to sufferers are going to have to have sort have different, different sort of work of inhaler, which doesnt work as and older as well for younger and older people. Me seems people. That to me seems completely, so completely, completely daft. So lets some common sense here. Yeah, this is absolute nonsense. Coming yeah, this is absolute nonfrom 1. Coming yeah, this is absolute nonfrom the coming yeah, this is absolute nonfrom the nhs coming yeah, this is absolute nonfrom the nhs management. G yeah, this is absolute nonfrom the nhs management. Im out from the nhs management. Im sorry. Enough money in the nhs has been wasted already on the wrong things. Now, in the break wrong things. Now, in the break ispoke wrong things. Now, in the break i spoke to my friend who actually does drive an ambulance and is absolutely in uproar about this, not only he actually said it takes up to 5. 5 hours to recharge. I mean, the statistics of this is never and also theyre going to not be able to respond to as many incidents like five, 5000, 300 fewer incidents per day. Will they be able to get to because its going to take that long to recharge the ambulance. Also, recharge the ambulance. Also, theres lots of concern because theyre too heavy for the roads, theyre too heavy for the roads, the bridges, car parks to accommodate their weight. It is accommodate their weight. It is a real worry. This is absolute a real worry. This is absolute nonsense. The government has already intended to award 3. 9 million to a project aimed at developing Hydrogen Powered vehicles for Emergency Services , vehicles for Emergency Services, what are we doing . Well, why arent we putting the money in the right places . Why isnt patience the priority . Patience being the priority . Sorry,. You have to sorry, matthew. You have to agree with me. No. If youre if youre a cynic, you say that theyve got 5. 5 hours theyre waiting hours because theyre waiting outside. Stuffed outside. A e, which is stuffed full of the full of people because of the terrible a e. Look, terrible waits in a e. Look, absolutely. With you to absolutely. I agree with you to the extent if unless the extent that if unless something the something can be said to do the same for broadly the same job, for, for broadly the same, ultimately the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, ultimately the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, then, ultimately the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, then, and nately the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, then, and if tely the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, then, and if itly the same job, for, for broadly the same,cost, then, and if it cant same cost, then, and if it cant meet test, then my answer meet that test, then my answer is no, it shouldnt be sacrificed environmental sacrificed on environmental grounds. These grounds. I mean, one of these things giving things is that women giving childbirth, things is that women giving childbir more environmentally to have more environmentally friendly relief. Friendly pain relief. Now, that would be less effective them unless he can effective for them unless he can be equally effective. I can see the mothers of britain rising up against thing, quite rightly. Nonsense. It its absolute nonsense. It is. Have to look at the is. You have to look at the facts here and a lot of those so called. So when they say, oh, this can do 60 miles on one this car can do 60 miles on one charge. And a lot of that is actually wrong. So its in the perfect with the perfect condition with the perfect condition with the perfect any perfect environment, without any wind or rain or cold, or once you start switching things on, ive been in peoples cars where theyve gone, oh , no, ive said, theyve gone, oh, no, ive said, look, its really cold in here. Like some of the taxis that will pick up. So no, we dont want pick me up. So no, we dont want to heating on because to put the heating on because otherwise the otherwise itll drain the battery. Somebody battery. Exactly. Somebody switched off the radio because. And one power and the thing is, its one power source. Is running source. So everything is running on battery, whereas on on this one battery, whereas on a petrol controlled a diesel or petrol controlled vehicle got the diesel, vehicle youve got the diesel, petrol and theres a battery. So there alternative power there are alternative power sources. Soufces. Sources. I think nothing should be used if its not been tested properly be thought through properly and be thought through properly. Bandwagon, just jump on a bandwagon, because to meet because theyre trying to meet targets. They should be driven by sense, course. By common sense, of course. You with their what do you do with their batteries after theyre heavy . Happens and theyre what happens to and theyre particularly larger particularly heavy in larger vehicles you vehicles at the moment. You battery operated commercial vehicles small market. Vehicles is a very small market. So in small city cars it kind of works a bit better. So its about common sense. And sometimes the nhs seems go sometimes the nhs seems to go right, you like right, like, you know, like a rabbit headlights, right rabbit in the headlights, right on tracks. To mix my on the tram tracks. To mix my metaphors down in metaphors right down in one direction without thinking metaphors right down in one directiorwhatout thinking metaphors right down in one directiorwhat its thinking metaphors right down in one directiorwhat its impactg metaphors right down in one directiorwhat its impact on real through what its impact on real people is. By 2030, the entire net zero fleet will be ready by 2045. So the estimates suggest that will cost about 70 million to make the 480 ambulances, in the west midlands, thats alone and around 150,000 per vehicle over the next five years. Oh, actually , more wasted money. I live right around the corner from the headquarters of the London Ambulance service, who do a great but their who do a great job, but their ambulances, got a ambulances, theyve got quite a lot they create, you lot outside. They do create, you know, diesel fumes. Know, all the diesel fumes. So ultimately, if we ultimately, you know, if we can make it its good, but make it work, its good, but its and just be its got to work and not just be for of ideology. For the sake of ideology. Lets see what what the well, lets see what what the viewers think show is viewers think of this show is nothing and their nothing without them and their views. Great views. Lets welcome our Great British voices, their opportunity show opportunity to be on the show and they think and tell us what they think about the topics were discussing today. Only got discussing today. Ive only got two but its two two of you. Wow. But its two very brilliant voices. Im going to julie ford in to start with julie ford in bedfordshire. So electric ambulances all battery operated ambulances, Battery Powered , i ambulances, Battery Powered, i think a great idea on paper , think a great idea on paper, like most of these ideas are. And i certainly agree with what matthew said, that we need to be looking at more net zero and eco friendly ways of doing things, but the main issue weve got here is the nhs are already haemorrhaging money. This is not really what focus needs to really what their focus needs to be. And my concern is if these ambulances need to charge for 4 hours or 5 hours and theres a major incident, lets say god forbid we have another terrorist attack and these ambulances have just gone on charge. We cant wait hours them to be wait four hours for them to be ready. At least if they ready to go. At least if they were on the red light for the petrol, nip to the petrol, you can nip to the petrol, you can nip to the petrol put the petrol petrol station, put the petrol in. Good go. Youre in. Youre good to go. Youre gone. Theres major gone. If theres a major incident. Think incident. I dont think these are vehicles move forward are the vehicles to move forward with. Does a bit of a with. It does sound a bit of a ridiculous. Ridiculous thing. David balm in watford i can only agree with julian everyone. I mean id like to expand this out even further. In wales the road limits are 20 miles an hour including for ambulances , as including for ambulances, as have people lost common sense , have people lost common sense, bannau said. Exclude ambulances for fire bngade exclude ambulances for fire brigade and police. It should be by law mandatory that these these groups are excused any stupidity, these people in charge have had a frontal lobotomy and forgot about common sense. I dont know, its stupid. Well, listen, thank you so much thoughts , julie much for your thoughts, julie and david. Exactly. Im. Weve struggled to find anybody that thinks its a good idea, so i dont know where they found someone it was someone that thought it was a good to come and do good idea to come and do this. Its unbelievable, it . Its unbelievable, isnt it . Really . You really . Anyone at home . If you think idea, in think its a good idea, get in touch. At news. Com touch. Gb views at gb news. Com at least well one person at least well have one person saying a good idea. Kevin, saying its a good idea. Kevin, on he on the emergency vehicles, he said entirely said they should be entirely mechanical. Diesel injection. Jim nhs said would jim on the nhs said i would really to love meet the person who thought electric ambulances was idea and the people was a great idea and the people who implemented it. Im with you because were struggling to find anyone go along with because were struggling to find anyo clive go along with because were struggling to find anyo clive on go along with because were struggling to find anyo clive on the go along with because were struggling to find anyo clive on the nhsong with because were struggling to find anyo clive on the nhs on with because were struggling to find anyo clive on the nhs on this] this. Clive on the nhs on this topic says not only are the nhs doing daft and stupid things and putting peoples lives at risk with electric ambulances, but the army are now doing the same thing with their land rovers. Really . And then said that really . And then david said that dannyis really . And then david said that danny is spot on. This is pure virtue signalling. Unbelievable. The woke nhs management are happy to put real lives at risk to prove a pointless point. Bonkers well, thank you for your thoughts. Yeah, we think the same thing, but this is a story that caught my eye and i just wanted to draw to yours. Mps wanted to draw it to yours. Mps pay wanted to draw it to yours.

This will bring some heavy rain and has already brought some heavy rain, particularly to parts of southern could southern scotland. We could even see across hills see some snow across the hills and overnight and into the early hours sunday. Some further hours of sunday. Some further heavy pushes up the heavy rain pushes up from the southwest, of southwest, affecting parts of england and wales. Under all that cloud and rain it will be a very night , temperatures very mild night, temperatures not below 11 not dropping much below 10 or 11 degrees, but further north there will be some brighter spells and that to that will allow temperatures to drop single drop into the low single figures. Start for figures. So a chilly start for Northern Ireland parts of Northern Ireland and parts of scotland, sunshine scotland, with some sunshine widespread regions widespread across these regions in the morning through through the afternoon. Band the afternoon. Though, that band of pushes its way eastward, of rain pushes its way eastward, so sunshine developing so some sunshine developing for much later much of england and wales later as well. There will be some showers through the showers bubbling up through the afternoon. Be quite afternoon. They could be quite heavy another heavy in places, but another very temperatures as very mild day. Temperatures as high as 16 or 17 degrees across the south and even for scotland, we could see in the double figures monday , a band of rain figures monday, a band of rain situated across the uk pushes its eastwards, leaving a its way eastwards, leaving a dner its way eastwards, leaving a drier day for most of us. Plenty of sunshine through the rest of the morning, but northern the morning, but for Northern Ireland, cloudier ireland, turning much cloudier as we head the afternoon as we head into the afternoon with heavy rain arriving, with that heavy rain arriving, it does then unsettled it does then remain unsettled through with through much of next week, with temperatures widely above average for time of year, average for the time of year, perhaps 16 or 17 on that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on migrant madness.
