Welcome along. Its 9 05. Im Patrick Christys now. Keir starmer will be willing to sell this country out to the extremists if it gets him a few more votes. In my view, it hasnt taken long for the mask to slip. Its worth remembering that the labour party is only the second Political Party to be found to have acted unlawfully by the equality and human rights commission, the other being the bnp. Keir starmer says its changed well it hasnt. The mask supped changed well it hasnt. The mask slipped when wes streeting tweeted this about conservative voters, didnt he. 7 a tweeted this about conservative voters, didnt he . A win for susan hall and the conservatives is a win for racists, White Supremacists and islamophobes the world over. Starmer stayed silent. Why did he stay silent . Are yes. Well, could it be because wes streeting is quite possibly going to lose his seat to an independent, pro palestine candidate . Thats exactly what i think could happen. His majority is 5218, the size of the Muslim Population in his seat, 25,743. Thatis population in his seat, 25,743. That is 27. 3 of his electorate. That is 27. 3 of his electorate. Goodbye, wes. So starmer cant condemn his comments. Its weak. In london, starmer kept his mouth shut when sadiq khan launched another dogwhistle attack on the chief rabbi. He said that the reason the rabbi had called him out for his Gaza Ceasefire stance was essentially because he was a muslim, saying that the rabbi didnt call out andy burnham because hes not called ahmed bahraini. Hes now apologised , but starmer didnt apologised, but starmer didnt condemn it. Why not . Because he wants to win. Keir starmer has got Jess Phillips piping up now, saying shes worried about losing her seat because of the partys stance on gaza. Shes got a majority , apparently of got a majority, apparently of over 10,000, in birmingham, yardley. But the percentage of yardley. But the percentage of the muslim vote in her constituency is a whopping 37. 4. Thats around 32,000 people. So what happens . Are the newly what happens . Are the newly elected mayor for palestine . Sorry sorry West Midlands. Yeah thats right. Immediately tweets an Israeli Offensive in rafah must not go ahead. Immediate ceasefire. Theres some other stuff on there as well. I mean look Birmingham Council has just gone bankrupt. But yet you focus on the important local stuff. Mayor, youve got nutters like this all in great horton , this all in great horton, manningham, heating city ward, ankola. Im trying to tell you something here. This is a clear message to starmer. Bradford has rejected labour. Its rejected zionism. And this is a message zionism. And this is a message to you. Nashar and imran hussain, we are coming for you in the general election anyway. In the general election anyway. Hes got anyone that stands with zionism. Were coming after you. Zionism. Were coming after you. Free palestine, free palestine. Free palestine, free palestine. I wonder if he knows what day of the week the local bin collection is. But anyway, keir starmer will do whatever it takes in order to win him and people like him back. And if you dont believe me, just look at what hes been willing to do with natalie. Elphicke. This woman is essentially to the right of genghis khan, okay . Shes been criticised for slamming her husbands sex assault victims. Shes also been told to f off by the shadow chancellor. Shes been absolutely caning starmer, his party. Every labour mp and everything theyve ever done. And yet just to try to score a cheap point against rishi sunak, starmer was willing to throw his arms around her, welcome her in and then send out the swivel eyed Anneliese Dodds onto the media round today to say how elphicke is a good fit for the labour party. I mean, heres the nationals front page. Hes there you go. Look, look. Laboun there you go. Look, look. Labour. Labour values being suspended from the commons for trying to influence a judge in her ex husbands Sexual Assault trial, backing johnson and truss, supporting israels bombardment of gaza , attacking bombardment of gaza, attacking trade unions over p o firing scandal, scaremongering about vulnerable Asylum Seekers and finally blaming rashfords mess on Free School Meals campaign. Its interesting, isnt it, that starmer was willing to just allow someone with those views into his party . Starmer has already turned a blind eye to sectarianism in rochdale. He had sectarianism in rochdale. He had no qualms sending out his shadow cabinet to go into bat for their candidate , after he claimed that candidate, after he claimed that israel had allowed the october seven attacks. Keir starmer has no problems standing idly by while his lot throw around fake islamophobia claims. Call normal people White Supremacists and flirt with anti semitism at the pro palestine rallies. I dont think hed have any problem selling britain down the river for a few more votes, which, by the way, he doesnt even need. And i think that makes it even worse, doesnt it . But lets get the thoughts on my panel this evening. I am joined by the Daily Telegraph columnist allison pearson. Weve got conservative peer lord shaun bailey and ex labour Party Adviser matthew larzer. Allison. Should we be worried about keir starmer being prepared to embrace sectarianism . Yeah i think we should be very worried. I think we could be looking at the gradual islamification of our country. We do not want a bunch of muslim councillors dictating British Foreign policy. Thats thats the thats the basic fact. And what we saw, the basic fact. And what we saw, as you said, lots of local elections , muslims, cross with elections, muslims, cross with labour for starmer not taking a more anti israeli line defect to the greens. I think its a lovely fat patrick that all the hard line muslims are in the green party, plus the trans women. So were very much looking forward to that party conference, arent we . Oh yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Should be should be a meeting of minds. But well be there by the way. But basically i want to see that with my own eyes. Youll be in there. Youll be in there. But this guy, im not sure youll be allowed in. Patrick i predict youll be banned. This guy moeen ali wins east leeds, where people are concerned about what people are concerned about what people are concerned about what people are concerned about in every local area in the country. Potholes, planning permission, you know, dust bin collection. But no. Mr dust bin collection. But no. Mr ali wins. Shouts allahu akbar , ali wins. Shouts allahu akbar, god is great and then says this win is for gaza. You know, do win is for gaza. You know, do the people, the people of leeds think rafa might be the tennis player . They certainly dont know where it is in the gaza strip. So yes, im very, very worried. And i think starmer has said, oh, you know, we must regain trust. What does that mean . Bending to the bending to the will of people who are using now their voting muscle to affect us. So, matthew, youre furiously shaking your head there. I mean, where was starmer on, you know, sadiq khans latest outburst at the chief rabbi or wes streeting calling a load of people white supremacist . He keeps quiet because he needs the votes, doesnt he . Well, i mean, patrick, im a bit confused because youre trying to have your cake and eat it. Youre trying to simultaneously claim that labour is in hock to islamist extremists. On the one hand. And yet youre criticising the defection of Natalie Elphicke, on the other hand, whos many things im saying. Hes got no principle. Im saying that hes willing to do whatever it takes to get votes. And those two go hand in hand. Its absolutely not true. I mean, the footage you saw there of the guy in bradford, his whole point was that he was opposing the labour party. He was nothing to do with the labour party because he was criticising the labour party. Weve seen this week, this group, this group issue a muslim vote, issue a list of 18 demands. And you say will, will keir starmer give in to them . The answer is no. And youve seen that already because his response is i spoke, ive spoken to keirs office and their response is absolutely clear. Yes, of course, always have conversations with people from communities of all different types , but no to giving in to types, but no to giving in to demands, you know, engaging. Yes being held to ransom . No. Well, i mean, keir starmer hasnt personally addressed the 18 demands because hes had other things to talk about. I mean, if somebody asks you, im sure he will. But sean, you know, he also didnt address wes streeting tweet about susan hall. He also didnt address sadiq khans comments there about the chief rabbi. Also didnt really address for quite a while. Far too late anyway, what was going on in rochdale and i just wonder really whether or not he would be willing to embrace sectarianism if it meant that he got votes. Well, thats a problem. He didnt he didnt, he didnt. He didnt he didnt, he didnt. He didnt step up and answer them. And if youre a neutral, youll be sat there thinking, okay, if you dont embrace these things, ineed you dont embrace these things, i need to hear it from you, not from your office. Youre trying to be the Prime Minister of the country. I think what were seeing now is palestine in particular, has become a double edged sword for labour. They were theyre very pro that and thats good. They, they want to see a ceasefire, dont want to see a ceasefire, dont want to see people hurt. And we all agree that i certainly do. But because theyve rebelled and wobbled certainly on a local level now people are saying we reject you. And whats important about what that councillor said. Its not that he doesnt want to have anything to do with the labour party. He said hes rejected them. So he thought that labour were going to do a particular thing around it and theyre not. And i dont know why he thought that, because theres never been any indication. Ill tell you why. Because they havent been clear. They havent been clear. Theres been lots. Weve been so clear, sean. Weve lost 70,000 votes in the West Midlands. We nearly lost a morality against it. And youre saying, susan, lets remind ourselves, susan hall got hammered last week. Sean. Matthew, thats your candidate lost. Thats different. The public have been clear. Hes community been clear about what they want. The labour party has not. Theyve tried to absolutely clear sean. Thats why thats why they lost tried to play both sides. Its a desperate attempt to smear the fact. The fact he got hammered last week. Your candidate got hammered. She did worse than you did. Changing the subject. What . Youre talking about is that community there. Were not talking about susan hall. That man said. Were not talking about her because she was a total failure. That man said his community have rejected the labour party because of what they have or have not done. Why is keir starmer responsible for what that guy says . What some random person says . What some random person says . Because lets deal with the labour party. Sean palestine is a very big issue for the labour party because of the way in which they played it. Lets bring alison back into it now, because, you know, there are aspects of this where Jess Phillips is piping up now saying, you know, im absolutely bricking. Im paraphrasing, obviously, im absolutely bricking it over my seat because of gaza. She tweeted that, and, and what does the mayor of the West Midlands do straight away . Oh, right. Ceasefire now. Ceasefire on gaza, ceasefire. You know, sadiq khan again, one of the first things after his re election, a ceasefire on gaza, thats the governments policy to not the mayor for those particular not the mayors for palestine, are they . Yeah, i think matthew is being disingenuous. Yes. In extreme muslim growing muslim numbers who have been labour supporters, theyve been counted on as a bloc vote for labour, and now theyre kicking off on certain aspects of things. And i think we are going to see labour mps, even very good and honourable ones, under pressure to bend to certain policies, absolutely under pressure, inimical to the will of the majority of british people under pressure. Pressure. But theres no evidence that they are doing the bending. Youre absolutely right. Of course. Its a very serious issue. I course. Its a very serious issue. I totally agree with you, alison. Can i just put under pressure if he is willing to allow someone into his party who, by the way, i have, apart from the fact that shes just done this bonkers defection, im really got a massive issue with Natalie Elphicke at all. I mean, you know, i thought i thought she was relatively sound until quite recently, actually, but, you know, you might let you in, patrick, if you want to. Yeah, yeah, im not sure i can get that through. The national executive, but if hes willing to forego all of his principles and let her in at the cost of, by the way, quite a few of his own mps, then what is there to guarantee he hasnt all of a sudden you end up with this ranting and raving allahu akbar guy with a with a labour rosette. I dont understand what principle hes changed. Natalie elphicke in Natalie Elphicke has been absolutely Natalie Elphicke made a speech in the house of commons ten days ago about housing, where she criticised the government completely for its retreat on the landlords bill. Thats the thing shes going to be advising the party on, okay . He hasnt changed. He hasnt changed one policy because of Natalie Elphicke. Her politics have have changed because she sees what a failure the conservative government is. And the rats are leaving the tory sinking ship. Can i can i Say Something right. Most people in the country are not going to say, oh, well done, natalie, you know a lot about housing. Thats the right thing to do. What theyre going to say is keir starmer should have shown a bit of class and said, thank you for your support. But no, because youre very, very, very far away from where we are and where were going. But the reason he didnt say that, because he doesnt have one particular direction of travel, thats the difference. Matthew, most people are not sat at home with a, with a with an excel sheet looking at policy. What theyre looking at is how does this feel, what these people say. And she has been 100 miles away from where what shes doneis miles away from where what shes done is what shes major done. Sean is the complete and total failure of this government total failure of this government to stop the boats, her constituencies in dover, her constituents are paying the price for 14 years of government failure and migration, which has seen the small boats crisis get worse, not better. Saying its all about her that i saying its all about her thati can saying its all about her that i can accept. No, im saying that she thinks the government failed on the small boats crisis and that she has got a plan keir starmer. She just said thank you natalie, but no support us from over there. A year ago, Natalie Elphicke wrote an article for the daily mail complaining about that starmer was was weak on the small boats, so shes changed her tune, hasnt it . Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. And people do change their mind. And were going to discuss later that labours next step on its plan to stop the small boats, which im sure shes going to endorse. So any surprise about natalie is that shes far to the right of most of the people sitting on the conservative benches. I mean, theres at least 50. There are far more left wing than she is, arent they . No, there arent more like 300 of us. I think, you know, we hear all too often, dont we . That silence is violence. And i think we have to consider that when we think about how silent keir starmer has been on some of the, i would say, filth, what wes streeting tweeted was filth. I think about how basically people who want to vote for conservatives are white. Didnt quite say that. Didnt quite say that. Well, what did he say . He well, what did he say . He said a victory for susan hall would be a victory for White Supremacists and racists. And susan hall endorsed donald, endorsed donald trump, and she liked islamophobia. She liked islamophobic posts on facebook, he said. And thats why she got hammered, you know, because because the people of london, of all different communities, of all different communities, of all different communities , because he was communities, because he was making it up, dont want no, he wasnt making it up because shed endorsed shed endorsed donald trump. Sean, its sean, a white supremacist. No, but sean wasnt the candidate. Thats why sean got more votes than susan hall did. I did vote for her. You might have won, sean, if youd stood in for her. Yeah, and ive got to say, matthew, again, i think youre being disingenuous. What he said was very, very offensive. Youre talking to a person like me who spent most of his youth running away from the nf. So to be told, just because i dont share his political views, im somehow white supremacist. I actually think its dangerous , because think its dangerous, because what youre saying to people is you cant even. Look, you didnt say you were a white supremacist. Comforts to people. Thats different. Okay . He was he what he wrote made people think, okay, if i do this, am i a white supremacist . Thats wrong. Just because i still went out and voted labour just because i dont share your political view, you cant just then label me any way you like. I think its dangerous and it terrifies small communities because they dont know what to do. Because if they want to go to a wafer housing or whatever, theyre going to be accused of being racist, which is something they cant stomach. All right. Now, i mean, this is this is its good to have you back, sean, by the way. We have we have we have missed you. Thank you very much, but yes. Right. Lets crack on. Okay. So we have got a heck of a lot to get through tonight, still to come, i will show you my experience at the pro palestine encampment at Oxford University. Do you think this might be a bit fascist . Its a little bit fascist . Its a little bit fascist. Palace site . No. Okay. Palestine okay. Palestine ill also speak to the co chair of the north west friends of israel. Its rafi bloom very shortly. Thats because the National Union of students voted to expel its main jewish group. But up next, weve touched on it a little bit there, but were going in depth. Has sir keir starmer made a huge mistake by allowing Natalie Elphicke into the labour party . Elphicke into the labour party . So labour councillor Brenda Chilton is going head to head with the partys former spokesman , James Matthewson. Spokesman, James Matthewson. Make sure you stay tuned for that or go welcome back to Patrick Christys. Tonight. Coming up, raffi bloom speaks out on the National Union of students delegates calling for the expulsion of the main jewish group. I mean, its absolutely insane whats going on. And absolutely insane whats going on. And then you couple that with whats happening in sweden as we speak with the jewish eurovision contestant being to told make sure they stay in their hotel amid fears of their life Greta Thunberg at that pro palestine rally, by the way. So there we go. Anyway first, should sir keir starmer have allowed Natalie Elphicke into the labour party . Now elphicke has apologised today, hasnt she . To her new labour colleagues for her previous comments she made supporting her ex husband following his conviction of Sexual Assault. Jess phillips, a labour mp, urged miss elphicke to account for her actions and she said in a Statement Today the period of 2017 to 2020 was an incredibly stressful and difficult one for me. As i learned more about the person i thought i knew , i know person i thought i knew, i know it was far harder for the women who had to relive their experiences and give evidence against him. I have previously and do condemn his behaviour towards other women and towards me. It was right that he was prosecuted and im sorry for the comments that i made to his victims. All right, fair enough. So sir keir starmer is under fire, though, for welcoming the former conservative mp into the party despite hitting the highest polling lead since the liz truss era. And here is the leader of the house of commons, penny mordaunt. Penny mordaunt. First of all, can i reassure the honourable gentleman that i am not about to defect to the opposition benches . They wouldnt be interested in me. Im too left wing. So tonight im asking how sir keir starmer made a huge mistake by allowing Natalie Elphicke into the labour party, going head to head on this. Our labour councillor Brendan Chilton, and former labour speechwriter James Matthewson shapps. Thank you very much. Great to have you both on, james, ill start with you. Is this a massive, massive mistake from starmer . Mistake from starmer . I dont know if its a massive mistake, but i do think its misjudged , urged patrick, its misjudged, urged patrick, because at the end of the day, we are seeing the likelihood of defections increase and thats good news for the labour party. It shows that the labour party has done a lot of work and a lot of self reflection in recent years, something im sure me and brendan will both agree on, and i think that that idea that the partys become more acceptable for people in the conservative party is, is widely a good thing, however, and natalie elphicks case, i do not think her core value was as demonstrated by her voting record , the way shes voted, for record, the way shes voted, for example, on access to abortion , example, on access to abortion, on lgbt rights and other human rights dont necessarily represent what the labour party is meant to represent as a whole. So i think when it comes to core values, theres a question here, and i think the labour party could, you know, misjudge these actions by getting a little bit too excited at the prospect of scoring a goal against the conservatives and potentially lose its way with its core values . Yeah. I mean , like, i think, yeah. I mean, like, i think, by the way, a lot of viewers and listeners to this show might have quite appreciated natalie elphicks core values for , you elphicks core values for, you know, quite a while until she wandered over onto the, onto the labour benches there. But brendan, a lot of his own mps didnt do it. I mean, the thing that makes this worse for me is that makes this worse for me is that keir starmer did not need Natalie Elphicke. Hes ahead in the polls. The polls is at his highest level since the liz truss era. Why on earth has he welcomed this person in who has slagged him off . And now, presumably, in my view, is being incredibly disingenuous about this transformative journey shes been on, good evening, patrick. I think, the, you know, conversion that Natalie Elphicke has had is greater than that of saint paul on the road to damascus, but it is a conversion and, many, many hundreds of thousands of people up and down the country are having a similar conversion to the labour party at the moment. However, i would just say, i think all we can do is take what Natalie Elphicke has said at face value, she has said, it released in the Statement Today that she regrets the remarks she made , during the the remarks she made, during the time when her husband was facing prosecution, i can understand for her, at the time, it was a very stressful, difficult period. And so we have to accept that. Now, in terms of her other comments that shes made about the labour party, you know, i think, of course, you know , very think, of course, you know, very unfortunate, but the labour party is now a very broad church. We welcome everyone into the party and to support keir starmer as he leads labour, hopefully to victory at the general election. I would just say this. I dont agree with everything, Natalie Elphicke has said, but im sure, like james, when weve been out canvassing up and down the country, we found many people actually who vote labour that would share some of natalies views and of course the people we need to win over to form the next government might also share those views. And so to standing down anyway, though, isnt she . I mean, youve got a labour candidate in dover and deal who is now having to issue statements saying dont worry, im still standing. The person that i mean, james, it cannot be denied that if Natalie Elphicke was standing for the conservative party at the next election, leaflets would have been hitting the doors in dover and deal dishing out a load of absolute bile about her because they would have said she is a hateful candidate and now shes sitting next to or behind keir starmer at pmqs. Yeah, and thats my concern. Its that that it looks like and there is a big question at the moment about the labour party. Now look, i came from the hard left tradition. I came up through the hard left tradition, the trade union movement, and i when i left that tradition said that i believed in a more pragmatic approach to politics than ideology, pure ideology. So me and brendan obrien, however , me and brendan obrien, however, there is a question of how far you take that, because you still have to represent something. You have to represent something. You have to represent something. You have to have values. And for me have to have values. And for me its more the optics of it. Its more the optics of being able to say, this is our line, this is where we stand. And sean bailey said something credible earlier on your panel there about the fact that, you know , it does fact that, you know, it does look like, you know, the chance for keir starmer to say thats great, thank you. But no, you know, and let let i leave the leave the tory whip behind. Thats a stronger position in my mind because it looks like weve got values we can choose. We can got values we can choose. We can afford to choose. At the moment it just looks a bit too opportunistic. I think it emphasises the other allegations. Yeah. And i think it emphasises brendan, that actually potentially keir starmer is fundamentally a very weak man. He wasnt willing to speak out about any of the stuff. Sadiq khan was saying about the rabbi didnt dare speak out about wes streeting because wes is sitting on about a 5000 majority, quite possibly could lose his seat. So he didnt want to speak out about that. And he doesnt have the bottle or the spine to tell someone who is possibly to the right of genghis khan that theres no way that shes going to have a place she has no way shes going to have a place on the on the labour benches. Its just weak, weak, weak. Brendan, no , no, i dont think it is. No, no, i dont think it is. I think keir starmer has been extremely bold and extremely tough in how hes transformed the labour party. Now in terms of this specific case, of course there will be many in the labour party, myself included, that are not entirely comfortable with everything Natalie Elphicke has said. However, she has now left the conservative party and joined the labour party and shes pledged her support to the party. Shes standing down at the next election and we have an excellent candidate in mike tapp in dover. I think this is a big westminster storm in a teacup. No one out there in the country is talking about this tonight , is talking about this tonight, most people have probably never heard of Natalie Elphicke outside of dover, and i dont say that disparagingly towards her. Itsjust say that disparagingly towards her. Its just a statement of fact. And this this will be, yes, tomorrows chip paper , its yes, tomorrows chip paper, its not a major story in the country. The big issue here is the labour party has won over the labour party has won over the support of the mp for dover, the support of the mp for dover, the area where the migrant crisis and the channel crossings. Fascinating, though, isnt it, because keir starmer, keir starmer shaking their hands and welcoming in a woman who has quite similar views about the trans issues as Rosie Duffield , trans issues as Rosie Duffield, who has been largely, largely ex communicated from the party. I do, i do think were arrogant if we allow ourselves to believe that weve won over Natalie Elphicke in some way. Natalie elphicke in some way. Natalie elphicke in some way. Natalie elphicke wants to keep a job for the time being. I think that she wants to do that easily and with less pressure because the conservative party is under immense pressure and no doubt friends, family members, colleagues , everybody will be colleagues, everybody will be saying to her, you know, why are you standing for this . You know, especially in that community about the small boat stuff, you know, because thats been their primary policy. Thats all theyve talked about. And then theyre in this situation currently where she cant deliver on anything, she cant change anything. She cant do anything about it. So i think for us to believe that its because weve won her over , i because weve won her over, i think its more likely that shes come knocking at our door. And weve been kind of, you know, excited enough to let her in because its a good look. But i do think it does in that small because youre right, brennan, not many people will talk about not many people will talk about not many people will talk about not many people will think about it. But theres a small window of opportunity when people turn on the news for 10s and they see that this has happened. And in that this has happened. And in that 10s they may just think, is that 10s they may just think, is that what i want to see from the labour party . All right, look, guys, thank you very much. We are bang. We are bang out of time. Im afraid so. Sorry about that, brendan, but ill give you a bit longer next time. Thank you both. Shapps and. Yeah. Have a great evening. All right. So that is, labour councillor Brendan Chilton and former labour speechwriter James Mathewson there. Look coming up. All right. Is britain right to refuse to sign the World Health Organisations pandemic treaty that would see us give away a fifth of our vaccine jabs, have a look at that chap there on your screen, tedros or whatever hes called. You know, the head of the who. All right. Do we really want him dictating to us how we should handle a pandemic . How we should handle a pandemic . I appreciate we did not get it absolutely spot on last time, though , did we . But before that, though, did we . But before that, i travel to the pro palestine camp at Oxford University. Things turned quite hostile. But this was the calm before the storm as a megaphone going on. There saying that were unfriendly press, which is interesting. I have had a shower interesting. I have had a shower since, and if that isnt bad enough, activists in the National Union of students wanted to vote to expel the main jewish body. It is extraordinary whats going on in the world next. Welcome back to Patrick Christys. Tonight we are living in absolutely bonkers time. Surreal times. Dangerous times. Okay especially when it comes to our university campus. So, look, our university campus. So, look, just take a little look at some of the stuff that i was getting up to today. One of the big criticisms of this campus has been that if you were visibly jewish, that you wouldnt necessarily feel that welcome. And i think its easy to understand why they might feel a bit like that. Yeah, that is oxford , thats oxford oxford, thats Oxford University. Theyre one of the top universities in the world, a bastion of intellect, etc, etc. So were going to have more on that later. But but now and its linked. That later. But but now and its unked. The that later. But but now and its linked. The National Student union is facing accusations that their conference in blackpool last month was dogged with anti semitism, reportedly , up to anti semitism, reportedly, up to 20 students tried to force a vote to stop recognising the main jewish representative body , main jewish representative body, known as the ujs union of jewish students. There was also students. There was also evidence that toilets at the venue had been daubed with anti semitic graffiti, so writing for the Times Newspaper last night, the Prime Minister said this only last month the ujs were themselves subject to a shameful attempt to get their organisation kicked out of the nus purely because of their support for the principle of a jewish state. And thats it, isnt it . Forget all this zionism stuff and all of that. Its about being jewish. I think an earlier today, ujs representatives were invited to downing street by the Prime Minister to brief him and 20 University Vice chancellors about anti semitism on campus. Heres what their president , edward isaacs, has to say. Edward isaacs, has to say. We were very clear that any commitments made today at this meeting need to be followed by swift and Decisive Action by vice chancellors, because ultimately, jewish students deserve to study in safety and feel that they are included on campus , in campus life. Campus, in campus life. Joining me now is the co chair of north west friends of israel. Easy for me to say, rafi belem. Rafi, thank you very much. Great to have you on the show. And we are living through absolutely extraordinary times at the moment. Is it openly anti semitic . Do you think that the nus a you know, lets be honest, pretty far left organisation would want to expel the, the, the, the jewish union . The, the, the, the jewish union . I think its just a further example at that conference to start with of the jew hate that jewish students experienced. You mentioned the swastikas daubed in the toilet, effing zionists in the toilet, effing zionists in the toilet again as graffiti, and it just adds to the overall attempts that were seeing to cleanse University Campuses of zionists, which we know mean jews. And it really has similar jews. And it really has similar parallels with the 1933 to 35 penod parallels with the 1933 to 35 period in nazi germany. Its as period in nazi germany. Its as simple as that. I just dont know where jewish students are safe at the moment. So in amsterdam, youve got people bulldozing the pro palestine camp at university. We all know whats happening in america, dont we . Weve got a procession of different universities in britain at the moment, Oxford University, which again , ill university, which again, ill show people a little bit later on, i just dont think its comfortable to be jewish at universities anymore. And its being compounded by the fact that youve got University Lecturers and staff signing petitions in support of these middle class fake communist s. Absolutely. Look, free speech is sacrosanct, and as a democracy we have to protect that. But what weve seen is an unprecedented rise in campus anti semitism since the genocidal hamas attacks of october 7, and that includes the intimidation of jewish students. Intimidation of jewish students. These protests that have now culminated in these encampments , culminated in these encampments, theyre rife with anti semitic rhetoric, things like from the river to the sea, intifada, make us proud. Make us proud, and us proud. Make us proud, and theyre making universities no go areas for jewish theyre making universities no go areas forjewish students. And its absolutely shocking. And its absolutely shocking. And the universities need to act. A lot of these protests are taking place on university property. They could act overwhelmingly. They dont act, but they have a duty of care to their jewish but they have a duty of care to theirjewish students but they have a duty of care to their jewish students to but they have a duty of care to theirjewish students to make them safe. And theyre not doing that. There is unquestionably a fear going around at the moment. When i was outside at Oxford University today or the Natural History museum, is there were people coming up to me who were not part of this protest. Young people, students at oxford who watched the show, who liked the channel and as theyd come past, theyd say, they kind of whisper, oh, you know, i quite like what you do. But they didnt want the people in that encampment to see them mixing with me, because presumably theyd be excommunicate as well. There were reports there from that camp that a jewish student had tried to enter, and because they refused to sign a piece of paper that basically said that they supported the palestinian cause, they were turfed out. I mean, this is insane that this is happening in modern britain. Is happening in modern britain. Its all part of this narrative to , demonise zionism. Narrative to, demonise zionism. And i think for your viewers , and i think for your viewers, its worth just very briefly reminding people that zionism is the is the right of the jewish people to have Self Determination in their ancestral and religious homeland. And its this framing of zionism as colonialism, genocidal, and actually zionism is the antithesis of colonialism because its the return of a people who had been expelled by numerous colonialist oppressors for millennia. And then when you have that and you have this, this unholy alliance of far left woke student bodies with radical islamists on the right who wouldnt agree on feminism, on sexuality, on religion, but come together over the jews. Its together over the jews. Its a toxic atmosphere that is making jewish students who have a democratic right to study on our campuses feel manifestly unsafe. And the government has spoken fine words, but they now need to act. You nothing for me. Rafi embodies the complete lunacy of this unholy alliance, as you so articulately put it. There as actually one thing thats happening right now, in sweden with the eurovision issue. So, look, im absolutely. Dont want look, im absolutely. Dont want to, you know, stereotype too generally here, but there is, theres a large demographic of theres a large demographic of the Lgbtq Community who enjoy eurovision, and thats fantastic, but they also appear to be doing stuff like this as well. Ive just got a little clip because this is this is whats happening right now, apparently in sweden. So well just play a little clip vie portland side say. So thats one portland side say. So thats one of the clips, which is the israeli act being booed on stage. And theres also other reports which well bring you later on. Its not reports. Ive seen it, which is of, what mobs really on the streets and the israeli act being told by their own security that they have to stay in their hotel. Greta thunbergs apparently at this particular rally as well. I mean, it looks rally as well. I mean, it looks as though people are waiting for as though people are waiting for a lynching and they probably are. This is a young 20 Year Old Girl who survived a terror attack , a genocidal terror attack, a genocidal terror attack, a genocidal terror attack by an organisation who wants to murder jews anywhere , wants to murder jews anywhere, who lives in a country which is the only democracy in the middle east that has free sexuality, that has one of the biggest gay pride parades seen anywhere in the world every year in tel aviv. And you have the Lgbtq Community, some of them anyway, standing proudly alongside support for what is going on for hamas attack against israel. If these people went to gaza, they would be thrown off tall buildings. It is absolute lunacy and part of that is down to our educational institutions for encouraging it, for allowing it. But ultimately these people are, to paraphrase churchill, they are appeasers who feed the crocodile in the hope that it wont eat them. Yeah, look absolutely. And, yeah, look absolutely. And, you know, ive been to numerous pro palestine demonstrations at a variety of different locations. This one at oxford today, this this encampment, were going to see some of the footage from it later. To be honest, its right. If i was jewish i would. It is intimidating and it is threatening and it is disgusting. There is another aspect to it , by the way, that aspect to it, by the way, that is just completely laughable. And i think sometimes with these people, one of the best things to do is, is ridicule them a little bit because you hold a mirror up to them. You know, maybe at some point they might actually see who they are. But. Yeah. Go on. Rafi, quickly. You are. You are correct in what you say. However, what we have been seeing in these encampments, more and more, they start off that way in this benign , sort of that way in this benign, sort of wokey peaceful way. But they are being infiltrated by actors from the outside who wish to radicalise them and make them more violent and more extreme. And that is where the universities have to act, and theyre not at the moment. Well, yeah. And that has happened. Thats absolutely happened. Thats absolutely happened. Rafi, thank you very much. You take care all the best. Thats rafi bloom, whos the co chair of north west friends of israel. Right. Look, in a statement, the us made clear it was individuals, not the body itself. We tried to expel the ujs. They said a lie is circulating online. That news have voted to disengage with ujs. This is categorically untrue. It is shameful to spread misinformation and fear amongst jewish students at a time when tensions are already so high. And the truth is that news, in fact, stopped a small group of students who tried to call the ugs legitimacy into question. All right. Okay. Coming up, ill show you my experience. Yes. As we were talking about at that pro palestine encampment at Oxford University, everyones unked Oxford University, everyones linked arm to, to try to force us, i think out press is close. Us, i think out press is close. Im so afraid of covid that arent they . Which brings me on to the World Health Organisation wanting britain to sign up for a pandemic treaty that would see us sign away a fifth of our vaccines. Should we be jumping ship from the doomsday globalist body . Professor Jay Bhattacharya, co author of the Great Barrington declaration , is Great Barrington declaration, is live and its next. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight. Now, the uk is refusing tonight. Now, the uk is refusing to sign the World Health Organisations pandemic treaty. Organisations pandemic treaty. Amid fears that it wont actually benefit britain. The treaty states the uk would have to give away up to 20 of health products, such as ppe and vaccines , and be prevented from vaccines, and be prevented from stockpiling supplies , but stockpiling supplies, but apparently will only agree to a dealif apparently will only agree to a deal if british made jabs stay in the British National interest. The who director general told officials on friday. Give the people of the world, the people of your countries, the people you represent, a safer future. I have one simple request please get this done for them. Okay, lets cross over now to california where i am joined by doctorjay california where i am joined by doctor Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford School of medicine. And Stanford School of medicine. And you know, someone who was incredibly prominent with the now , i think, largely vindicated now, i think, largely vindicated Great Barrington declaration. Thank you very much. Great to thank you very much. Great to have you on the show. Why should britain not sign up to this nonsense from the who. I think generally the who. Has done a terrible job during the pandemic. The idea that they they use protected human life well is laughable. They put well is laughable. They put forward the lockdown policies that failed everywhere that caused tremendous collateral damage. They denied that the virus was airborne. They failed time after time. And the same time after time. And the same leadership that failed is asking for more power. It makes absolutely no sense. And it is so it is not in the interest of great britain. I do think that that more sharing of products might be in the interest of great britain. So for instance, great britain. So for instance, if the if the over there you dont want it, you may want to share the vaccines with people over there , but i dont trust over there, but i dont trust the World Health Organisation to make that designation appropriately. And that i think, is the major problem. Yeah, its a question of trust. And lets just say, you know, Something Else happens or whatever. Yeah. Really . Seriously, this this guy tedros from, you know, from from, ethiopia could tell us, could he, that we have to give away a certain percentage of our protective gear to people in in other countries . You know, this guy is absolutely, resolutely refused to in any way, shape or form condemn china, which of course, has got nothing to do with the amount of money that china has given to his home country over the years at all. Nothing at all. I mean, why should we listen to this guy . Should we listen to this guy . We shouldnt. I mean, i think if the w. H. O. We shouldnt. I mean, i think if the who. Would like britain or the uk or the United States or the uk or the United States or any other country to trust it, it needs to turn over its leadership. It needs to give leadership. It needs to give guarantees that the harms that it imposed on the world during the pandemic, with anti scientific ideas embraced. And, you know, essentially the chinese style lockdowns and policies recommended to the world that that those kinds of problems will never happen again. And there need to be real reforms before any consideration of giving the who. More power. And the question of National Sovereignty absolutely is an important one. Patrick. It is very important that each country understand that the were basically saying a Supranational Organisation , natural, the organisation, natural, the National Organisation here, you take over some of the most fundamental decisions that we would make about our own health, our own own own own conditions. I mean, it makes no sense to do that unless we trust them and we dont. Is this just the furthering of a globalist agenda . Do you think . Think . It absolutely is. I mean, thats exactly the idea. Its to globalise the response to future pandemics, globalise the calling of future pandemics , globalise of future pandemics, globalise the resource allocation of future pandemics , and if you had future pandemics, and if you had a Global Organisation that actually had the benefits of each home country at in its own heart fundamentally built in you, you might want, might, might consider it here. You dont have that kind of organisation. You have an organisation. You have an organisation that is beholden to the interest of relatively small number of people, of countries that are anti democratic, rule it, large organisations like the Gates Foundation funded , and i Gates Foundation funded, and i dont know whose interest they serve, why why someone in the uk would want to support it. I have no idea. No , indeed. And i dont know no, indeed. And i dont know whether or not i would ever get to vote for tedros, would i, before he decides whether or not i can live and die during a pandemic . Pandemic . Thats a very good point, patrick. It is an anti democratic organisation. Anti democratic organisation. There is no you know, you can have your country vote and youre one of whatever 100 and some countries that vote for for, or against various things. But even there theres not really votes. Theres just the with under the new treaty, thered be tremendous power in thered be tremendous power in the hands of tedros to call, call. Theres a new pandemic. And then all of the sort of parts of the treaty would come into play , he said, they say up into play, he said, they say up and down that theyre not going to violate National Sovereignty. But looking at the provisions of the treaty and the way they act dunng the treaty and the way they act during the pandemic, who can trust them to actually keep their word . Look, thank you very much. Great to talk to you. I would love to chat to you again very, very soon. Thats doctor Jay Bhattacharya from the Stanford School of medicine and of course, of the Great Barrington declaration. Next, my run in declaration. Next, my run in with the so called Peaceful Protesters at Oxford University. Ill take you behind the curtain of these pro palestine fanatics, people who stand accused of intimidating jewish students on campus. I think we can have a little sneak peek. One of the big criticisms of this campus has been that if you were visibly jewish, that you wouldnt necessarily feel that welcome. And i think its easy to understand why they might feel a bit like that. Bringing feel a bit like that. Bringing the water cannons, seeing a bit. The water cannons, seeing a bit. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Good evening. Welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. Another cracking day tomorrow if you like it. Fine, warm and sunny. If anything a little bit warmer than today with light winds. Thanks to this chunky area of high pressure. Hasnt been fine everywhere today there has been these weather fronts just trickling across northern scotland, still bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly for caithness, sutherland and spreading across the northern isles, but a patchy rain at times across aberdeenshire. Two. But for most its dry and fine out there. Generally clear skies, a bit of mist and low cloud returning to parts of Eastern England , and a few fog Eastern England, and a few fog patches are possible in the south, where temperatures in the countryside could dip down to 3 or 4 celsius. Most towns and cities there starting tomorrow at 10 or 11 celsius, and most will start tomorrow with plenty of sunshine. And for many itll just stay that way. We will see again some misty conditions around a few coasts, particularly perhaps east anglia, east coast of northern ireland, southwest scotland and a bit more cloud moving into the Western Isles through the day. But any early rain across shetland should clear. For most its fine, some spells and warmer than today. 21 to 23, maybe 24 or even 25 and 1 or 2 locations. Another fine day to come on saturday. Again, the possibility of some mist and low cloud affecting eastern coast. The small chance of 1 or 2 isolated but heavy showers over Northern England and southern scotland, but for many, fine again. And if anything , a little again. And if anything, a little warmer, 2425 degrees, a little cooler around some coasts. Goodbye looks like things are heating up.

Im Aaron Armstrong in the gb newsroom. The chancellor has cautioned the bank of england against cutting Interest Rates too quickly. The bank has too quickly. The bank has decided to hold borrowing costs at the same level. 5. 25. But governor Andrew Bailey says things are moving in the right direction. He suggests that an Interest Rate cut could come as soon as next month. Now the government insists the economy has turned a corner, but shadow chief secretary to the treasury darren jones says many households are still struggling with the cost of living. Bank of englands decision today is its independent right today is its independent right to make decisions about Interest Rates. But clearly thats bad news for people at home who are having to reset their mortgages for the years ahead at a more expensive rate, and people having to pay rent for their homes. And thats why the homes. And thats why the economy has not turned a corner, and why people at home are not feeling any uptick when theyre told by conservative ministers doing victory laps this week that the country has turned a corner when it hasnt. Thousands of pro palestinian demonstrators have gathered in the swedish city of malmo to protest against israel competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. In the Eurovision Song Contest. Protesters dressed in palestinian colours packed the citys historic Market Square before a planned march through the city. During a dress rehearsal last night, crowds could be heard booing israels performance. The second semi final of the contest is underway. The foreign secretary underway. The foreign secretary says britain will not follow the us in withholding arms from israel. If a full scale invasion of rafah goes ahead. His comments come hours after President Joe Biden vowed to cut suppues President Joe Biden vowed to cut supplies if the southern gazan cities attacked. Lord cameron says theres a fundamental difference because uk sales are much smaller in scale and policed by strict rules. But he policed by strict rules.

Well, its time now to show you my experience at the pro palestine encampment at Oxford University. Fascinating case. Oxford isnt it one of the best universities in the world, supposedly a bastion of freedom of speech and academic rigour. However, this camp was set up and since it was set up at least 108 academic staff and other members of staff at that university have signed a letter of support to these pro palestine individuals. A jewish student has reportedly been turfed out of this camp for refusing to sign a letter saying that they are bang in favour of everything that has been going on when it comes to hamass resistance to the israelis. And as youre about to see, this is as youre about to see, this is a seriously well run camp. Theyve got a press team, a medical tent , different events medical tent, different events and some speakers throughout the course of the day. But as youre also about to see these pro palestine fanatics, theyre not really just all in a circle singing kumbaya. But it did start out quite calmly. Here we start out quite calmly. Here we are at the Oxford University encampment. It is just outside encampment. It is just outside the Oxford Museum of Natural History. The Oxford Museum of Natural History. Hiya. Are you all right . Are we all right . Just have a quick chat with a couple of people about why youre here and whats going on, and everything like that is that possible . So actually, most of us here would rather not give a comment. Would rather not give a comment. But we have some people in the press team. We might be free. Would you just wait here for a minute . Thats lovely. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Brilliant. Who are you guys with . So my name is patrick. Im with gb news. Im with gb news. Thank you. Hello youre right i yeah. Yeah. So weve already got a load of masks there. A strong american accent and not a huge amount of racial diversity. But i was told that no one wants to show their face. And i wonder why. But now im going to give you a little peek behind the curtain. So here is a bit about how that camp operates. Says on this board. Here is day for a Community Check in at 10 am, palestine and south africa teaching at 3 00. So i think were maybe just about in time for that, actually, liberation fellowship at six and an open mic at 8 pm. Theres a row of camp jobs here, the bins, the litter. Check the food tent assistant, floor fix and water refill as a megaphone going on there saying that were unfriendly press, which is interesting. Yes, gb news is interesting. Yes, gb news is unfriendly press. Apparently its also quite funny, wasnt it, that none of those camp jobs have been done and apparently they dont wake up before 10 am, but they certainly dont believe in the freedom of the press or the individuals right to freedom of expression. Roll on. Is it possible to have a quick chat with you about why youre here . Its possible to have a quick chat with you about why you feel so strongly. Why dont we dont think. Sorry, im new here, but do you want to talk, though . Because its. Because its. Yeah. I mean, ijust because its. Yeah. I mean, i just they asked me not to. Oh, okay. We do engage with press, just not this press for obvious reasons. Im not really, you know, i dont know , but but but if that woman know, but but but if that woman hadnt know, but but but if that woman hadnt have come over and said anything to you, you would have spoken. Actually, he does want to move us. Then. Have you got that . She said. Have you got that . She said. Have you got that . She said. He said he doesnt want to talk. And then hed turned around and said, i actually do want to talk. And this is this is what happens every single one of these events, right . So you go up, people are perfectly happy to talk. And then someone with pink hair has decided to stop shaving her armpits, comes up and says, no, dont talk to that lot. And then they get too scared. He was worried about being get this excommunicated from the camp if he dared to break camp rules. Also, all normal stuff. I genuinely went normal stuff. I genuinely went there to ask questions and speak to people about their views. But to people about their views. But rather than have a conversation with me, i was, well, physically swarmed. Im free, free, free swarmed. Im free, free, free palestine free, free, free palestine, free Violence Free pan around. We can see that its all kicking up a notch now , so its kicking up a notch now, so its quite good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you all right there . So are you a student at the university . We will not come. University . We will not come. Can i ask, do you want to explain why oxford is complicit in genocide . Okay, we turn it in genocide . Okay, we turn it round, we can see that theres quite a lot of, people free palestine. Its interesting, palestine. Its interesting, isnt it . Because one of the big criticisms of this camp has been that if you were visibly jewish, that if you were visibly jewish, that you wouldnt necessarily feel that welcome. And i think its easy to understand why they might feel a bit like that. Yeah. So then, look, the longer i was there, despite the fact, i mean, the irony here, the great irony here is that if just 1 or 2 of them had spoken to me, we probably would have got enough material. I could have been on my way in a few minutes, but no, i have to hang around and then it really did began to kind of escalate. There were kind of pushing us back or trying to anyway, until we left the camp. Once linked arms to, to try to force us. I think out as close belem, its a bastion of freedom of speech. Oxford university. Do you think this might be a bit fascist side . Thats a little bit fascist palestine . No. Okay. Palestine. Palestine. Palestine. Yep. There we go. And then even after we did leave, they still werent quite finished. They were charging after me down the road , gloating. There are the road, gloating. There are more of us than there are of you. Wow, the encampment there, Oxford University, obviously. Unfortunately, people didnt particularly want to talk. Thats fine. Thats their right. But, you know , people can make but, you know, people can make their own minds up. But, you know, people can make their own minds up. About about their own minds up. About about their own minds up. About about the kind of about the kind of people here. There we go. Lovely. Has anyone ever told you you might be behaving a bit like a fascist . Yeah. There we go. A fascist . Yeah. There we go. I mean, look, ive been to quite a few of these now. The ones in Central London have got a massive undertone of, you know, proper aggression and violence. Proper aggression and violence. That one, to be honest with you, i just thought was quite sad. I just thought was quite sad. And again, ill just say its a load of renter mobs , all people load of renter mobs, all people who are students and theyve decided that theyre going to make some kind of glorious stand by dyeing their hair pink and refusing to shave their armpits. Lets go to the thoughts on my panel lets go to the thoughts on my panel. Its Daily Telegraph columnist allison pearson, conservative peer lord shaun bailey and the former labour Party Adviser matthew laza allison as you know, just completely laughable of some of those individuals were really the point is that we had members of staff from that university , of staff from that university, and this was pointed out to me by an academic who was at the university, who was sympathetic to some of the stuff that we were doing here gbnews, tooting their horns on the way past. And you think, how would it feel to be jewish . There really . Be jewish . There really . Yeah. Really horrible that my old university, cambridge , old university, cambridge, theyre all camped outside Kings College on the strip of green , and the students are green, and the students are doing their exams at the moment. They have to walk past those tents, and therell be a lot of jewish students who are very upset, as you said, at the top, the union of jewish students, the union of jewish students, the nus, basically trying to kind of cancel them and making all these anti zionist occupations. Look, being young occupations. Look, being young and foolish is the Job Description of a student. But description of a student. But these people, theyre supposed to be the most intelligent people in the country and they are absolute idiots. Theres a student, oxford student saying that as a colonised, a colonised people , all palestinians have people, all palestinians have got the right to resist against occupation. Gaza isnt occupied. The israelis left it in 2005. So the lack of knowledge. And i just want to say, patrick, okay, about jewish people in this country, we are losing jews are going to be leaving in their thousands our country. And these kids know nothing about history. This all started because on october the 7th, one of the most heinous massacres in modern history, and indeed the biggest slaughter of the jews since since the Second World War took place. And they are having place. And they are having wellness sessions. Yeah, leave it just its horrible. Its really disrespectful and horrible. It is. But its also that point for me , you know, thats point for me, you know, thats the closest ive ever got to Oxford University, to be honest with you. And i was always really in awe of it mentally. I really in awe of it mentally. I was always really in awe when someone said to me, ive been to oxford or ive been to cambridge. Ill be honest with you. I always thought , oh gosh, you. I always thought, oh gosh, you. I always thought, oh gosh, you might be better than me, actually, really. And i met a load of them today and i thought, gosh , what a waste of thought, gosh, what a waste of oxygen. Look, academic success doesnt automatically breed wisdom is how id respond to that. What i would say is really disappointing for me. The whole nofion disappointing for me. The whole notion of being a student is to is to debate , is to learn, is to is to debate, is to learn, is to test. And what theyre doing is just rejecting. They wont have just rejecting. They wont have that conversation and why its a real worry. These are people who are very likely to end up in positions of power in our society. So could you imagine a home secretary who will not have a debate about anything . Can you imagine someone who just says, no, this is our way or no way . The problem for these young people and what theyre doing, theyre making extreme reactions to anything. They dont like the to anything. They dont like the norm. And that is problematic. Thats how fascism grew. Fascism works from the fact that we will stand no conversation, and they need to look at themselves because theyll have no conversation. Theyll never know conversation. Theyll never know if theyre wrong because they simply wont test it. And thats a real bad sign for this country. Yeah. Matthew, i mean , what yeah. Matthew, i mean, what do we do about this . Because beneath the fact that theres quite a ridiculous bunch of individuals, theyre all deciding to live in tents and, you know, have glastonbury without the fun. Yeah. There is there is a serious undercurrent to this, which is that they really dont care about how uncomfortable they make a lot of people. And the university and i would also say the police arent really doing anything about that i yeah, i mean, i think theyre trying to the university would say it was trying to navigate a fine line between making them martyrs. Weve seen, obviously, the footage of some of the removal of the american encampments which have taken i mean, theyre bigger encampments, but theyve taken quite a lot of kind of, you know, bailiffs and hard hats, etc. And that becomes the focal point. But i think i agree with sean that the most depressing thing is their absolute unwillingness to engage in debate. I mean, if oxford is famous for anything , its famous famous for anything, its famous for debating ideas from different perspectives. And, you different perspectives. And, you know, to me its it should be a punishable offence to get in the way of a free press. And way of a free press. And because, you know, one day gb news who knows what if it was a different channel and different, you know, of course you have to stick with the principle of freedom of expression. And so i hope the University Authorities are watching on that front. I would just make the point as well that its easy because because why ive decided to do is just getting amongst a load of these different things. So it is very easy to get the impression that they only hate gb news, and they do probably hate gb news they definitely do. However, they do actually just really kind of hate anyone. I mean, they wouldnt have been massively in favour of the bbc rocking up. Theyre the only ones that they like are, you know, the al jazeera news van that turns up realistically. So you know, its not you just hear more of it because im the one whos wandering around this stuff and actually physically getting it. Sorry, sean, you getting it. Sorry, sean, you were about to say its troubling. And what Oxford University needs to look at is their reputation. I was invited to do a debate there very recently, and i fought twice and decided not to go because i dont want to go to a place where theyre just going to paint you in any way they want to paint you. Im not sure theyre capable of having a debate that where you might have to argue something that they dont agree with, and thats important. Oxford for centuries now has been a place of fought, challenged debate. They are destroying that over this one issue. And i think thats a real worry for us. And if i, if im thinking, well, i wont go there, who else wont go there . Are there young people at home who think, i cant go to this place because and the thing id say jewish people for years have talked about anti semitism. And as a black person, youve understood it as racism. This is , is an added element. And it makes me feel nervous. Okay. Once theyve finished with the jews, whos next . Whos next . I sat in a meeting today and heard about how uganda has very bad policies around, lgbt rights. I dont agree with them at all. But are they going to punish me because im black and ugandans are black . I have to wonder that because if youre israeli, thats what it might feel like now. And these are the things theyre not taking into account. And i really think they should. Well, whats so ironic, isnt it, is that there they are with the masks on. So intimidating. And they, you know, the Yasser Arafat memorial tea towel wrapped around them in the ridiculous fashion statement, as sean says, they are calling israel racist state. Theyre, you know , zionist entity, which, you know, zionist entity, which, by the way, zionist entity is what hamas calls israel. But israel is a modern, progressive, liberal, one of the only country in that region which is pro gay, pro gay marriage, immensely liberal. So all these students who are wholl be shouting about homophobia and misogyny, wouldnt they on any other day of the week . But suddenly they appear to be on the side. Appear to be on the side. Theres not much liberating gaza from hamas, is there . No theres not. They did have posted signs saying israels destroyed all the universities in gaza as well, which they did kind of make me laugh. So while we do wonder what they were teaching there anyway. But look, a joint statement from the organisers , statement from the organisers, oxford action for palestine and cambridge palestine read over 100 universities across the globe have now taken bold and urgent action for palestine as members of these institutions , members of these institutions, we refuse to accept our universitys complicity in israels war crimes against the palestinian people, and we refuse to stand by while they justify israels campaign of mass slaughter, starvation and displacement. Of course, it displacement. Of course, it would have been nice if anyone there had bothered. Weve had to call in a right of reply, despite the fact that i drove two hours to oxford today to try and physically get one from a load of the people there. But anyway, coming up, ill run you through the very first of tomorrows newspaper front pages, and there is a Major Political news story thats about to break. And that breaks in 12 minutes time. So stay. Its a major gb news exclusive. We can reveal that one of britains most dangerous terrorists is now back walking the streets. Ill just have all the streets. Ill just have all the details for you in a moment. Dont go anywhere welcome back to Patrick Christys. Tonight, there is a Major Political story about the labour Party Happening just after half past. So stay tuned for that. But right now, gb news for that. But right now, gb news can reveal one of britains most dangerous terrorists is now back walking the streets. Mohammed ahmed was jailed after he was caught travelling to syria, intent on martyrdom. A judge later ruled he was a dangerous fundamentalist who was, quote, interested in and deeply committed to violent extremism. He was caged for 17 years. There he is. Thats thats him there. So thats thats him holding a gun, pointing it at you at home. He was caged for 17 years and five months in 2014, but seven years before his release, it was reported last year that he was due to appear before a parole board in december. But what has not been reported until today is that officials gave him the green light to be freed and he is actually out and about. Im joined now by the former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security office , Chris Phillips. Security office, Chris Phillips. Lock your doors, chris. Yeah, its amazing, isnt it . And this man was too dangerous to be released 12 months ago, but suddenly hes , obviously had but suddenly hes, obviously had a change of opinion, and now hes perfectly safe. I mean, this man, this is a man thats, already decided that hes going to martyr himself for the cause. So you know whats to stop him doing something equally as bad when he comes out . Yeah, i is it possible to get these parole hearings done publicly, or at least to have a recording of them and the reasons behind the Decision Making put out there in public . Because, i mean, it is i who has to live with this guy. Well, it is, and i think thats a key point, actually , thats a key point, actually, the parole board should be forced to live next door to this guy forced to live next door to this guy , because he will be living guy, because he will be living next door to someone and, and influence seeing people in that community. And i can assure you that the communities that he goes out to wont be that necessarily keen on having a convicted terrorist, living next door to them. But parole boards are a bit of a law unto themselves. I think theyve been looked into more recently, but, they do seem to be making some bizarre decisions, and of course, it is mired in secrecy, and we just dont get to find out, the exact rationale for them letting him, leave prison there does appear to have been astonished. Astonished. Si king naivety. I mean, anyone who wants to travel to syria intent on martyrdom, and you know who was quoted as being deeply committed to violent extremism, you know, to be let out . I think im right and say about seven years early the idea as well, that we knew he was going to be before the parole board, but it wasnt reported, you know, until now that hes out there could be no public backlash. There was no opportunity for people or, you know, you know, there should be some kind of Public Discourse for someone to raise it in the house of commons and say, look, we need to stop this. This is lunacy. They just think, you know, its just throw the gates open off, you pop, you know, back to wherever it is youre from. Yeah. Job done. Hes, hes been released, and not only him, actually. I mean , many, many actually. I mean, many, many other terrorists have been released over the last year or so, and, even worse, the prisons are absolutely stonking full and, and, i think just recently theyve, put another edict out to carry on releasing people early because theres no room for them in the prisons. Yeah. I mean, it does say a lot about our Prison Service if it is actually a hotbed of jihadi training at the moment, is every chance you could go in as a low grade burglar or shoplifter and come out a radical islamic fundamentalist. But this guy was already one when he went in. You know, hes one of the one of the ogs of that prison. He was already one when he went in. And what kind of de radicalised ization do people have to go through in your view . Okay. And you have got literally an expert view on this. Is it really possible for people who have mentally made the decision that they want to be a martyr, to then be de radicalised . De radicalised . Well, historically there have been people that have been de radicalize , theres no doubt de radicalize, theres no doubt about that. And many people are on the first and second rungs of radicalisation and are, you know, pushed back. But but when youve got it so deep into you in, into your psyche that you believe the things that they believe, they believe in the caliphate, they believe that we should all be living under islamic law. And they believe in dying for the cause. Its a very difficult thing to get away from the fact that they are still very, very dangerous people. Very, very dangerous people. And last question with you, chris. What kind of monitoring are we doing with this guy, possibly when hes out and about, you know, is this guy is there one saving grace to all of this that we can all sleep better in our beds tonight, knowing that there is probably some kind of 24 hour surveillance taking place on our friend mohammed there. Well, there will be some kind of surveillance, but of course, theres only a limited amount of surveillance opportunities , and, surveillance opportunities, and, you know, there are so many other people to watch as well, so very difficult for the security services. I have no doubt that they will be monitoring and no doubt that they will be calling him in for interviews and maybe doing some tests on him to make sure that hes, hes not, thinking of, doing something bad. But but of course, theres no safe place for people like this that want to kill innocent individuals. No. Look, thank you very, very much. Great to have you on the show. As ever. Thats Chris Phillips there. The former head of National Counter Terrorism Security office. I just think, you know, when you have individuals like chris, theyre baffled at the idea to release someone like this early. I think it tells you everything you need to know. But alas, we have got a comment from the ministry of justice. Thats nice of them to get in touch. The decision to release Mohammed Ahmed was made by the independent parole board after a thorough Risk Assessment , and he is now subject to probation supervision. Strict licence conditions and faces a return to prison if he breaks them. Good. Of course, the concern with someone like mohammed is that if he breaks his parole conditions, that might mean a terror attack, in which case it wont just be him getting a life sentence, would it . But coming up, what do you think happens when a trans athlete is allowed to compete against high school girls, yeah. Against high school girls, yeah. Which way do you see that one going . Stick around and find out. Plus, ive got all of tomorrows newspapers tonight with my razor sharp panel. With my razor sharp panel. Theyre primed and ready to go. And yes, i will stop teasing you with it now, when i come back, a big breaking news story about the labour all right. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight. Let me start with some of the front pages. Lets do it. We go to the pages. Lets do it. We go to the metro. Five babies die as cough bug spikes. Jabs plea over the bug spikes. Jabs plea over the wuping menace. This is the whooping cough issue thats apparently. Apparently is, is becoming worse and worse. Lets go to the independent. More tory mps want to defect, says labour as panic grips the Party Shadow Health secretary wes streeting tells the independent that hes been approached by tories reeling from natalie elphicks defection. Lets go to the daily defection. Lets go to the daily express, who win the tug of war over Interest Rates. Jeremy hunt has warned the bank of england of the delicate balancing act needed to cut Interest Rates, whilst keeping inflation under control. Were going to have a bit more of that later. The Daily Telegraph hunt urges bank not to rush rate cuts. Bailey hints that borrowing costs could fall next month , in a potential fall next month, in a potential boost for rishi sunak , and, here boost for rishi sunak, and, here we go. Theyve already got something on the front of the telegraph there, but ill whizz over to the mail, worst whooping cough outbreak in 40 years. So thats the same as the metro now, right . Im going to reintroduce my wonderful panel to the fray. Of course, i am joined by the telegraphs allison pearson. Ive also got conservative peer lord shaun bailey and former labour Party Adviser matthew laza. And now adviser matthew laza. And now here we go. Okay, so breaking tonight. We are finally allowed tonight. We are finally allowed to talk about it. Sir keir starmer will tomorrow launch labours plans to tackle the small boat crisis. So its a major speech on the kent coast. Major speech on the kent coast. Starmer is going to say that control of our borders needs graft, not gimmicks. As well as announcing a raft of new measures to supposedly end the tough talk, do nothing culture of the tories. This will involve okay, strap yourselves in new Border Security command led by a Border Security command led by a Border Security command led by a Border Security commander. Obviously. Otherwise thatd be weird, wouldnt it, to take on the criminal smuggling gangs . And hows it going to be funded . And hows it going to be funded . A Labour Government, and hows it going to be funded . A Labour Government , they say, a Labour Government, they say, will direct £75 million of the allocated year one costs of the tories. Rwanda plan to fund these new measures, of course, comes in the wake of Natalie Elphicke, the former tory mp for dover crossing the floor in the house of commons to join the labour party, that was just at pmqs. All right. Okay, so i have here in front of me a fuller list of the kind of things that keir starmer wants to do. But im going to hand over to our Resident Labour fanatic , keir Resident Labour fanatic, keir matthew laza, first. So come on, talk. Talk. I get to go first. I get to go first. Talk us through how hes going to smash the gang. Well, look, the key point about this is its about using Anti Terrorism legislation and the approach that has worked , the approach that has worked, against, you know, terror gangs and terror plots in the past. So it involves hiring hundreds of Additional Special investigators, which will be split across the agencies that work on this and the new Border Security command will be modelled on the office of security and Counter Terrorism , security and Counter Terrorism, which the last Labour Government, introduced. And Border Control and stop and searches will be expanded, will be given expanded powers under the terrorism act to ensure enhanced stop and search and without the need for suspicion that youve had in the past. So basically, it gives more powers to our frontline in Law Enforcement to tackle the gangs. And it also involves working a working cross border. Its paid for not by 75 million taken out of the rwanda gang, which are actually paid for. I think that will take 30 people to rwanda or or we can use anti terror, approach to smashing the gang. So its anti terror laws that are going to smash the gangs. Now, sean, you were screwing your face up there. So stop and search. Theyll be here. Its too late. If be here. Its too late. If someone climbs out of a boat without getting the mobile phones off them. Sean, its too late here. Youve just sailed across a very big sea. You will do this with a mobile phone. Do this with a mobile phone. But they dont. Actually, they weirdly, they dont. The moment they realise theyve been stopped and searched, those those phones will be lining the engush those phones will be lining the English Channel. Thats the first point. The second point. Let me i want to be fair about this. The idea of a more focused border force is correct, probably, but they have to watch it. It doesnt become like the home office, too big to handle the second piece as well. They talk about smashing the gangs unless they get import support, great support from the source country, it would be a complete waste of time because unless you can get to mr biggs, he doesnt care. Hell just keep going. Hes he doesnt care. Hell just keep going. Hes not he doesnt care. Hell just keep going. Hes not taking he doesnt care. Hell just keep going. Hes not taking a he doesnt care. Hell just keep going. Hes not taking a risk. Going. Hes not taking a risk. Hes sending people over. Hes not carrying them over. So very different. So Keir Starmers plan, which he will unveil tomorrow , he will unveil tomorrow, includes things like Border Control stop and searches, which weve mentioned theyre expanding powers under the terrorism act to ensure enhanced stop and search, personal searches, examinations, seizure of mobile phones and devices. Presumably what hes saying there is well be able to more accurately tell him this is what the belgians we arrested before the belgians we arrested before the belgians we arrested before the belgians have done it, because the moment when people come, their phones arent confiscated because there isnt a law under which you can do it, whereas the belgians do confiscate the phones. And that has had some success in tracing people back, further back down the chain , which sean back down the chain, which sean is absolutely right, is what you ultimately need there also. Sorry, can i just say one last thing . Unless they are prepared to actually send people back and i dont believe keir starmer said anything about that, it wont matter all it is. Youll know where they came from. Great. What are you actually going to do to change that . I want this to work, but it doesnt sound like its going to work. He said. A lot of things, but unless he actually says we will send people home, then it doesnt matter. Well, this is this is an important point. Now, keir starmer may elaborate on this. Tomorrow we will have to wait and see. But as it currently stands, they would scrap the deterrent of flying people abroad and removing people. They would removing people. They would alice, and allow people to, well, not allow. But people would come to britain and they would come to britain and they would take their phones off them. Theres not a lot here that i them. Theres not a lot here thati can them. Theres not a lot here that i can see about deporting anyone. Well, i dont think it sounds all bad , actually. And i think all bad, actually. And i think the point which will strike home with a lot of people, is that the rwanda plan is much of that is pie in the sky. I mean, all of these measures are going to cost about, the £75 million allocated for just one year or one tiny portion of the rwanda plan. And i think using Counter Terrorism people , ive Counter Terrorism people, ive often wondered why we didnt have mi5 and mi6 going in and, stopping some of these people smugglers because that must be possible to do that. And also , possible to do that. And also, what we have to admit, sean, is that the former, ians someone, head of, board of Border Control, said that it was undermanned. There was, you know, there was no staff. It was know, there was no staff. It was absolutely shambolic. So if they can at least tighten that. But the point, the point, patrick, is surely the rwanda plan, even if they manage to get people off the ground , has got such the ground, has got such a limited scope for taking, you know , they say 1 at most three, know, they say 1 at most three, 300 people. Weve had 8500 people since january. So i you people since january. So i you know, i think heres the point. Heres the point. Im not trying to tell you the £100. Brilliant. Im not trying to tell you that. And i actually want this to work. But the point is keir starmer tomorrow needs to give a figure of how many people its going to work, because is this 301 people or is it 30,000 people . Who knows . He needs to tell us. I do accept that redirecting the money is a is a good spending money. Thats a good thing to do. But what i worry about this is actually what hes criticising is a lot of talk and a little action. Okay, set up a new force. But what do they do . The response to this has to be international. Youll never break these gangs and this you are on their path. He says here. I agree with you, sean. Can i can i just say and ill put this to you, matthew. Yeah, yeah. So he says, so we will hire hundreds of new caseworkers for the home office, he says. And well do it immediately. We will create a new fast track returns and enforcement unit. We will ensure enforcement unit. We will ensure our courts can process claims quickly , and we will save the quickly, and we will save the taxpayer billions. How is he going to get around the exact same problem we have at the moment, which is that we just cant Deport Anyone . Well, its one of the problems is not just that we cant deport, because there is an issue in some countries cases, but what is interesting about what hes going to say tomorrow, hes going to dub what the tories are doing, the travelodge amnesty, which is the people who are in Hotels Across the country as alison has both talked about on this sofa and written about, are just basically being stamped because theyre not being investigated properly, because you havent got that fast track to send people back, even if they are countries where you can send them back to legally, effectively. What the tories are trying to do is to get the get the, get the numbers of files down and get people out of hotels is say people can stay without their cases being my i mean, my big concern about this is, is that okay . Its all very well and good to confiscating peoples phones when they arrive here. Fine i think that just makes sense. I cant really believe weve not been doing that already, to be honest with you, which i think is ridiculous. Right, this thing, we have to restore integrity and rules to our asylum system , says keir asylum system, says keir starmer. We have to clear the backlog. That is the path, the backlog. That is the path, the only path to real deterrence. My only path to real deterrence. My concern with alison is what does clearing the backlog actually really look like . Is it all right then come one, come all lads , you come in. Lads, you come in. Its the opposite of that. Its the opposite of that. Therein lies. Well yes, but as matthew has just said, im afraid under our present administration, what they are doing at the moment is they are clearing the decks. Thats what theyre doing as they can. They are emptying those hotels and they are hiding. I spoke to one yesterday on the roundabout round the corner. Thousands of people down the back of a sofa so rishi could stand up at a given moment and say, we have no backlog of Asylum Seekers here because theyre all living in wolverhampton on our dime. Thats whats going to happen. So this i actually think that what Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick have said all along, until we leave this European Court convention on human rights, we are not going to be able to return people properly to their place of origin. And thats the real thing. Keir starmer and that political world have been guilty of fighting the government when they tried to deport people. Hes going to talk to my a lot about using his. Why will it be any different when he tries to do it . Hes using his Anti Terrorism experience. And actually one of the things to be on is theres a serious Crime Prevention orders, which you can do under Anti Terrorism legislation, which means that you can ban people from using the internet, etc, which the government wont do. All right. All right. Well, hey, look, the important thing is, and we cannot deny this is we appear to be about to have a plan from laboun be about to have a plan from labour. Right. Which. So theres that and that will be well be heanng that and that will be well be hearing all about this in more on the kent coast with the new mp on the kent coast with a new mp, which has gone down incredibly well. Right. Okay. Now, a high school in oregon has come under fire for allowing a transgender athlete to take part in races against biological girls the 10th grade. I mean, you can obviously see who it is. The 10th grader was seen blowing away the competition here in the 200 metre heat. Wow. Striding ahead of the other runners. So there we go. I mean, im sorry, but like, i dont even think theyre going at full tilt there actually, well, yeah, i mean, we are a bit over alison, so ill come back to it after the break, if thats all right. But i mean, its ridiculous, isnt it . Well play its ridiculous, isnt it . Well play that clip again shortly. Coming up, should politics be left out of eurovision after israel is booed . And now ive just found out, i think i think israel has been sent through to the final. So theres good news for israeli eurovision. Im going to be discussing that with my panel as we crown tonights greatest britain and Union Jackass. And okay, yes, ill have more front pages for you good evening, and welcome back to Patrick Christys. Tonight on to Patrick Christys. Tonight on gb news. Ive got more front pages for you now , lets crack pages for you now, lets crack on, lets go to the. I cummings. Bofis on, lets go to the. I cummings.

Theres going to be a major announcement and speech on this tomorrow. Lets go to the times, truancy up by a fifth on fridays, which, given that im off tomorrow , i feel like i off tomorrow, i feel like i shouldnt be really commenting on. But, minister blames unacceptable parenting after working from home fuels 50,000 extra absences and bank of england governor raises hopes of lower mortgage rates. There we go. Right. Okay, so those are all of your front pages. My all of your front pages. My wonderful panel are still with me here. Well, apparently ive got the daily mirror as well. Sorry. Mirror. Yeah. Whooping cough warning vaccination plea to families amid fears of biggest outbreak in 40 years. Thatis biggest outbreak in 40 years. That is to be fair, the same front page as three other outlets tomorrow. Right my panel is with me. Daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, conservative peer lord shaun bailey and former labour Party Adviser matthew larson. Right now the Eurovision Song Contest hasnt even kicked off yet, and were already seeing hostility for one country, israel. So this isnt a show rehearsal. Now, among cheers, people in the audience made it abundantly clear that they didnt want the israeli out there. Bazball israeli out there. Bazball aside, sperm. So yeah, now that aside, sperm. So yeah, now that singer has been told to stay inside her hotel room as protesters against israel, inclusion in the contest have begun, Greta Thunberg is there obviously. Of course she is, obviously. Of course she is, yeah. Im tonight. Obviously. Of course she is, yeah. Im tonight. Israel singer yeah. Im tonight. Israel singer eden golan, though, has qualified for the final on saturday and swedish host broadcaster svt has said it will not censor the eurovision audience if there is a repeat of the booing. Yeah, alison, i mean, okay, so youve got booing on stage for one thing, but then you have got a group of people , you have got a group of people, including Greta Thunberg, out on the street, essentially barricading an israeli singer in a hotel room. This is just vile, isnt it . Its completely vile. She saved the planet then, patrick. Shes changed. Shes moved on. Yeah, shes done it now. Shes moved on now. Oh, thats all thats all sorted out . Yeah. This is eden golan singing a lovely song, actually. Beautiful voice called hurricane. Shes 20 years old. Shes representing a country. Shes representing a country. Shes representing a country. Shes proud, proud israeli with lots of fantastic israeli backing singers and dancers. Its just completely unacceptable. Its bullying, isnt it . Theyve just become. Isnt it . Theyve just become. Theyve just become the jews of the world, patrick. And they are the world, patrick. And they are the jews , arent they . So the jews, arent they . So thats. Well, yeah. You know, anti semitism and. Yeah, i mean, ihope anti semitism and. Yeah, i mean, i hope she does. Well, interesting, isnt it . Because Greta Thunberg, you know, shes not that young anymore, is she . I dont know what is she now . 19, but shes been around for ages, so. But she she must know what its like to be a young woman whos very public, who has received quite a bit of hate. And i think to, to really be inflicting that on somebody else, i find quite bizarre. Sean. Look, i look at his whole situation and to me it feels like bullying and greta being in her notoriety to this eye doesnt, doesnt help the situation. And i think someone should ask her the exact question youve just posed. You know what its like. Why would know what its like. Why would you why would you do that . And i think sometimes people will risk harming the palestinian cause with some of these reactions. With some of these reactions. Because youre looking at the Eurovision Song Contest, its meant to be about unity. Youve definitely made it sectarian. Now you know some people wont wont warm to that. And i think at some point the whole way that this is playing out, somebody will have to challenge, im someone who wants to make sure that nobody no, no extra deaths in palestine. Lets stop. Lets stop that now. But the way in which its going, its damaging relationships with with countries far beyond. Countries far beyond. I know eurovision is always political, and usually we joke about it. Yeah, well, the world hates us. We might not actually come last this time. And all of that. Yeah, well, yeah. But i think its very interesting that israels been voted through in the semi finals by the people of europe. Yeah. By the people of europe. Yeah. So it does give you some hope that that virtue signalling doesnt extend to people at home. Can you imagine if they were i mean, this wont happen, but could you imagine the discrepancy between those people out there in the streets and actually people at home anyway . Right. Moving on now , beloved, right. Moving on now, beloved, sorry, beloved british actor hugh grant. All right, lets hugh grant. All right, lets just rephrase it. Hugh grant has criticised apples new iphone. Hugh grant, of course , has hugh grant, of course, has criticised apples new ipad advert, calling it the destruction of the human experience. Is it really that bad, hugh . Should we have a look for all reason, to build my walls all around you . Walls all around you . Come and follow rainbows, i am told. I think, look, were basically saying you can fit everything you enjoy in life into one ipad there. But right. Look, its time to reveal todays greatest britain and Union Jackass allison, your greatest britain, please. Im going for an honorary onen im going for an honorary oner. Is indeed eden. Golan.

Strong star sean mines is tees valley mayor lord houchen, who is re elected on the back of delivering so much for his local area, hes really proud of his area. He comes from there and hes a hes a politician of real passion.

Matthew, the only the only tory who won, keir starmer for proposing a serious plan to tackle the boats and smash the gangs and not fail gimmicks like rishi. Okay, now just again, i will keep reminding everybody if you are just joining us and i have just about got time for this, this was the big breaking news of the night. Okay, so keir starmer is going to give a talk tomorrow, in which he will outline labours plan to stop the boats. That includes things like creating a new elite Border Security command. Enforcing additional Counter Terror laws as well , confiscating the phones as well, confiscating the phones immediately, apparently, of people who come to this country, presumably in with a view of finding out whats on those phones and tracking the people smugglers down, creating a new Border Security commander, hiring hundreds of Additional Specialist investigators. He wants to clear the backlog. He says , and he will pay for it says, and he will pay for it with, i believe , £75 million with, i believe, £75 million that would otherwise have been spent on rwanda. So thats its in a nutshell. So that was the news tonight , right . Todays news tonight, right . Todays greatest britain is its an honorary one.

Now governor Andrew Bailey suggested a cut may be possible as early as june, but says its by no means a done deal. Jeremy hunt has urged the bank not to take risks with inflation. I welcome the fact that the bank of england is obviously thought about this very hard. They take this decision independently and i would much rather that they waited until theyre absolutely sure inflation is on a downward trajectory, and rushed into a decision that they had to reverse at a later stage.
