Shes across a lot of the front pages of the newspapers this morning. Lets get the thoughts of former chief of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is price, who joins in of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is studio. ice, who joins in of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is studio. Goodho joins in of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is studio. Good morning in of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is studio. Good morning to in of staff to nadhim zahawi. That is studio. Good morning to you. The studio. Good morning to you. And look, had a tough job and look, shes had a tough job over the last four weeks or so trying get her spreadsheets trying to get her spreadsheets in order. After jeremy trying to get her spreadsheets in order. Afterjeremy hunt blew in order. After jeremy hunt blew a in all of that with his a hole in all of that with his non dom announcement. So non dom shock announcement. So what have they come up with to try and pledge and fund a lot of the pledges theyve made towards the pledges theyve made towards the nhs and schools . So theres a few different bits and bobs going here with bits and bobs going on here with with reeves, said with Rachel Reeves, as you said in jeremy in the budget recently, jeremy hunt out of hunt closed this out of non doms. This idea that you non doms. So this idea that you can be on earnings can not be taxed on earnings that dont outside the that you dont have outside the united kingdom, idea of this united kingdom, the idea of this whole make sure whole regime is to make sure that very wealthy people can come uk, can spend lots come into the uk, can spend lots of money can invest here, of money here, can invest here, can up their businesses here can set up their businesses here safe that safe in the knowledge that theyre not going to be taxed on things happening things that arent happening outside its a outside the uk. I think its a great system. People dont great system. Some people dont like lots of like it because its lots of rich people coming in here, but actually for a long time its meant people. Meant lots of people. Read it being described ive read it being described as a sort colonial hangover, as a sort of colonial hangover, which always the ultimate which is always the ultimate insult, it, the modern insult, isnt it, in the modern world. But you say, the world. But as you say, the french did away with and french did away with it. And then all those then guess what . All those wealthy moved to london. Wealthy people moved to london. So is that that that so there is that fear that that exodus could happen. But jeremy hunt view. Hunt has just taken the view. You im just going you know what . Im just going to blow in their in their blow a hole in their in their finances anyway, right . Right. Because this exactly right. Because this was big labour idea. So the was a big labour idea. So the tories gone along and tories have gone along and stolen rachel the stolen it. So Rachel Reeves, the shadow has to shadow chancellor, has had to work and work out a few other bits and bobs. One these things is bobs. So one of these things is going closing some of going to be closing some of the loopholes she exists loopholes that she says exists in the conservatives have in what the conservatives have suggested, other taxes, i think, coming help the suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe help the suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe problemzlp the suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe problem is the suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe problem is that the suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe problem is that its; suggested, other taxes, i think, comirthe problem is that its so nhs. The problem is that its so impossible to actually be able to how much stuff to work out how much this stuff will actually raise. Can will actually raise. You can always its going to always say, oh, its going to raise x many pounds you look raise x many pounds if you look at call a static at it in what you call a static way. But you looking at way. But if you start looking at these what economists these things in what economists are dynamic which are calling a dynamic way, which is to say, well, you have this effect then it will effect here and then it will have effect and this effect have this effect and this effect all down the line, all the way down the line, because behaviour because peoples behaviour changes because peoples behaviour charone the things and one of the things change. You know much you cant ever know how much this will which in this will raise. Which is why in the went down, the 1980s, when taxes went down, actually of tax money actually the amount of tax money that because that came in went up because people trying to hide people stopped trying to hide their money, stopped their money, they stopped paying for these sorts things. Their money, they stopped paying for but. E sorts things. Their money, they stopped paying for but the rts things. Their money, they stopped paying for but the nationalngs. Office but the National Audit office have figures have recently published figures saying could be saying 6 billion a year could be recovered through an effort on tax so tax avoidance specifically. So theyve this theyve obviously decided this is raise them what, is going to raise them what, quite money to help quite a lot of money to help them with these big pledges. Yeah. Think with these but again, i think with these things its about this sort of headune things its about this sort of headline figure. That headline figure. I think that the been trading, the ifs have been trading, trading different bodies trading these different bodies back well, we back at you have said, well, we just know. And just dont really know. And there ways you can there are two ways you can do this. You throw money this. You can throw more money at so have at the problem. So you have hmrc hiring more people to investigate or you investigate these things or you could massively simplify the tax code. Tax code in hong kong code. The tax code in hong kong were talking about colonial hangovers. About 130 pages hangovers. Its about 130 pages or here, 30 something or something here, 30 something thousand. Its incredibly thousand pages. Its incredibly complicated. So if youre a Great Big Business or a super wealthy person, you can pay for an accountant will help you an accountant who will help you move of here and move pots of money here and there change things in there and change things in different the rest different years. Stuff the rest of of course, of us cant have. And of course, thats then thats all. Just then a deadweight which is money thats all. Just then a deactherefore which is money thats all. Just then a deactherefore youre ch is money thats all. Just then a deactherefore youre nots money that therefore youre not putting building your putting on building your business your business or looking after your family. Cut these business or looking after your family if cut these business or looking after your family if we cut these business or looking after your family if we simplifythese business or looking after your family if we simplify everything taxes, if we simplify everything , it stops being worth a while for people to hide this money around the irony, suppose, in around the irony, i suppose, in all talking about all of this about talking about tax the pressure tax avoidance is the pressure remains doesnt it . Remains full square, doesnt it . Rayner, who by some on Angela Rayner, who by some is being accused of tax avoidance on Capital Gains. Is being accused of tax avoidance on Capital Gains. And avoidance on Capital Gains. And of course she denies this. But keir starmer coming out saying look, doesnt. It look, he doesnt. He thinks it would to would be inappropriate to see her advice. But now the her legal advice. But now the chairman of the conservative party actually this party saying actually this is going tarnish your going to tarnish your reputation, you reputation, keir starmer, you need a stronger position reputation, keir starmer, you ne everybody in politics has to be absolutely whiter than white. I think if youre coming out and announcing a package today, which people which is going after people who are avoiding tax, and then youre saying, well, you know what . Going you what . Were going to just, you know, the as know, shes from the north as one of the excuses or, well, nobodys than white. Nobodys whiter than white. Well, can they put well, how on earth can they put that policy . Its that out as a policy . Its double its hypocrisy. That out as a policy . Its d0labsolutely. Its hypocrisy. That out as a policy . Its d0labsolutely. Its think risy. That out as a policy . Its d0labsolutely. Its think one absolutely. And i think one defence a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, which a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, which is a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, which is a a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, which is a kind a woman absolutely. And i think one dewell, which is a kind aavoman as well, which is a kind of a ridiculous kind of soft bigotry of expectations these of low expectations on these sorts you sorts of things. So either you take politician take that every politician is whiter all of whiter than white. Well, all of your will that that your viewers will know that that isnt or do we say, well, isnt true. Or do we say, well, hang minute, nobodys isnt true. Or do we say, well, hang but1inute,nobodys isnt true. Or do we say, well, hang but is ute, nobodys isnt true. Or do we say, well, hang but is this nobodys isnt true. Or do we say, well, hang but is this persons perfect, but is this person worth what they bring . In the worth what they bring . So in the case old boss, nadhim case of my old boss, nadhim zahawi, vaccine zahawi, the guy ran the vaccine rollout, thousands rollout, saved tens of thousands of queens of lives, ran the queens funeral. And therefore, funeral. Right. And therefore, whatever complicated whatever other complicated things happening, whatever other complicated things its happening, whatever other complicated things its worth happening, whatever other complicated things its worth havingappening, whatever other complicated things its worth having that1ing, whatever other complicated thin at its worth having that1ing, whatever other complicated thin at the worth having that1ing, whatever other complicated thin at the topth having that1ing, whatever other complicated thin at the top of having that1ing, whatever other complicated thin at the top of having life. 1ing, guy at the top of public life.

Foreign secretary lord cameron has met donald trump in florida before holding talks with the us secretary of state, antony blinken.

As it turns out, there you are today, marking three years since the death of Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth ii, and the late royal died at the age of 99 at Windsor Castle and was the longest serving royal consort in history. And so, incidentally, as we reflect on Prince Philip today, well be talking about that later in the program. If you have any , Prince Philip have any, Prince Philip memories, he was quite, hes quite a character, quite direct, quite a character, quite direct, quite a character, quite direct, quite a character. Last time i met him, he said, oh , lets talk met him, he said, oh, lets talk about Climate Change. Everybody complaining . Blue and good for the grouse at sandringham. Ill tell you much more. Grouse. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. But just the fact that its been three years. And when you think how much has happened since then, of course hes died. And the late Queen Elizabeth iis passed. Passed away. Enforcer. He was the enforcer. He was the enforcer. Obviously harry and he was obviously harry and meghan and all of that has been a frankly, three a turbulent, frankly, three years. So well be reflecting on that a little bit later in that a little bit later on in the programme. That a little bit later on in the yeah. Amme. That a little bit later on in the yeah. Solar. That a little bit later on in the yeah. Solar eclipse. Have you yeah. Solar eclipse. Have you got to it in britain . Got up to look at it in britain . You have seen anything. You wont have seen anything. Lots covering lots of clouds covering things, but last over but it could have last for over 4. 5 where you but it could have last for over 4. 5 in where you but it could have last for over 4. 5 in world. Where you but it could have last for over 4. 5 in world. And where you but it could have last for over 4. 5 in world. And thatere you but it could have last for over 4. 5 in world. And that was u were in the world. And that was mostly north america, where it happened. Mostly north america, where it happened. Lets have a look at happened. Lets have a look at it. This in the past few hours , it. This in the past few hours, and theres basically what it looked like. So magical, isnt looked like. So magical, isnt it really a ring of fire in the sky . Theyre quite rare, arent they . These total eclipses wont happen again. Apparently for another 20 years, and americans, in typical sort of american fashion, were all whooping and crying. Did you see some of the scenes of the of the gathered crowds there . You can see lots of sort of very american reaction to all of that. And fortunately for us, as amy was saying , not so lucky with seeing saying, not so lucky with seeing the partial eclipse here in the uk because of cloudy weather. You know, the thing that gets me is the president , the president of the most powerful country in the world, the united states, joe biden has to come on with a pubuc joe biden has to come on with a Public Safety message. Dont look at the sun without dont look at directly and dont look at it directly and dont look at it directly and dont it without wearing dont look at it without wearing glasses. Of morons are glasses. What sort of morons are out there . I mean, he never takes his ray bans off anyway. Does biden he doesnt need to worry, so hell that. Hell be like that. But, but i suppose you have to. There are a lot of people in the world, but there are a lot of thick people, ill tell you whos thick. Whos not thick. Thompson, hes an Mark Thompson, hes an astronomer. They are the cleverest good cleverest of the clever. Good morning you, mind morning to you, sort of mind boggle, this, i boggle, sort of. All of this, i find space talk in general makes me inconsequential me feel really inconsequential and and trying to and small and trying to understand the Science Behind a total eclipse bring us up to speed on exactly what has been witnessed in the last few hours. Witnessed in the last few hours. Well, the, the earth goes around the sun and the moon goes around the sun and the moon goes around the sun and the moon goes around the earth, and every so often they line up. Its as often they line up. Its as simple as that. And when we get the, the moon passing in between the, the moon passing in between the the sun, when we the earth and the sun, when we get perfect theres get a perfect alignment, theres a wonderful that describes a wonderful word that describes it syzygy, and when it called a syzygy, and when that happens, the moon blocks sunlight from reaching the earth. You have to be in a very specific area on earth to , to specific area on earth to, to witness it, and of course, yesterday , in the few hours ago, yesterday, in the few hours ago, people in north america and mexico were lucky enough to, to witness the event. But they are quite rare , unfortunately, quite rare, unfortunately, i think another, 50, 60 think weve got another, 50, 60 odd years to wait before we get to see another one the uk. To see another one in the uk. Its not a tourist attraction. Its not like a disney attraction or whatever. I reckon. Gives reckon. It obviously gives scientists the chance to do things that they couldnt normally done. What sort of attention, from the Scientific Community would have been on what happened last night . What happened last night . Well, one of the things we still dont understand too much about the sun, the outer, thinner atmosphere of the sun called the corona, is actually really, really hot because the sun itself is hot, but the corona seems to get hotter, the further away from the sun it is, so we dont fully understand quite why why the corona seems to be heated up to higher temperatures than the visible surface. So when you get a Solar Eclipse , total Solar Eclipse, eclipse, total Solar Eclipse, you actually block the bright photosphere. The really bright photosphere. The really bright portion of the sun gets blocked out, and you get to see, that wonderful ring of fire, which shows the corona and that gives you an opportunity to study it, so we were certainly looking at that yesterday, trying learn that yesterday, trying to learn and unlock some of the mysteries of it. I was talking a little bit earlier in the intro about the reaction the americans, but reaction of the americans, but the reaction of nature very, very different and always fascinating. Just describe a little bit about the impact on birds, insects, wildlife when these events happen, apparently silent. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, i was down in cornwall in 1999 for the eclipse that you could see total eclipse in the uk , and you talk about in the uk, and you talk about americans getting carried away and weeping. Where i was, it was and weeping. Where i was, it was cloudy, you couldnt see anything. The uk, we anything. But even in the uk, we still whooped, was still whooped, which was a bizarre experience, but absolutely right. When, when youve got, middle of the day and goes dark, animals think and it goes dark, animals think its got turn to night time, and everything goes quiet. Cows often lay down during the, the moment of totality. But then moment of totality. But then when the sun comes out again, you get another dawn chorus. And you get another dawn chorus. And it was most peculiar. I forget what time it was back in 1999, but it was middle of the day , but it was middle of the day, and we suddenly had this dawn chorus sun came chorus when the sun came out again and most bizarre experience. Mean, im presuming yeah. I mean, im presuming you didnt get a glimpse there was nowhere near you locally that you were able to see anything. No, not at all. I live in norfolk. We never get to see any clear skies here, unfortunately. But you would have had to have travelled the north west travelled to the north west of the try get the country to try and get a glimpse of just before the glimpse of it just before the sunset, ive not heard sunset, but ive not heard of anybody saw from anybody who saw anything from the plenty the uk because, plenty of cloud coven the uk because, plenty of cloud cover. Unfortunately a very good but isabel made a very good point about how point there about how inconsequential she feels, seeing magnitude of seeing the magnitude of Something Like this, it is quite humbling , Something Like this, it is quite humbling, isnt it . Yeah, absolutely. I think, you know, when you think about it, these sort of things, they happen even if were here or not, the Solar Eclipses, lunar eclipses , theyre not human. Eclipses, theyre not human. Theyre not here for humans. Its just the chance event, that happens and we get to observe it. But youre right. If you if you think too much about the stuff that goes on in the universe and you think about the sheer scale, of the universe, you know, weve discovered now over 5000 other planets around other systems , and the more other star systems, and the more we learn about it, kind of the more inconsequential you feel, but youve got to keep a, you know, keep a level head. And its quite a fascinating universe out there. Universe out there. Will you keep doing the fascinating work that you do . Must be incredible being an astronomer. One the astronomer. And one of the exciting for you guys exciting nights for you guys last night. Thanks very much indeed, mark, for take on indeed, mark, for your take on things. Indeed, mark, for your take on things. Thank indeed, mark, for your take on things. Thank appreciate things. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. With all that, i dont know, it wasnt just cloudy where i was last night. We had those crazy again pouring with crazy winds again pouring with rain i driving this rain as i was driving in this morning. Some wild weather out there inconsequential there thats inconsequential compared to that. I mean, as he said, love is a burning thing. Here we go. And it makes a fiery rain bound by wild desire. Fiery rain bound by wild desire. I fell into a ring of fire. I cant even go that low. I cant even go that low. Thats what it was. It was a ring of fire. Thats what you should be talking about today. How fiery was your ring last night . Did you get to. See the eclipse you get to. See the eclipse anywhere . And then theres that other song. Isnt there . Is it a is it a total eclipse of the heart . The heart . The heart . Yeah. Em em. That one we sang that. That one we sang that. Oh, tonya, someone or other. What is it . What is it .

Oh, right. Oh, right. What want . What want . Thats right. Yeah. Thats right. Yeah. I dont necessarily think its that people arent getting it. I think its more that, you know, its a new system and were know, people were just, you know, people dont change. Dont like change. So if you stick with things, the future, this is the future. We. Well, yeah. Because there is an element to this as well. An ai element to this as well. What. What, what. What, what. I think there some well i think there are some filters because filters on there because everything thats being sent in is publicly. So is viewed publicly. And so i think the ai is being used to filter anything too abusive about me , for example. About you or me, for example. Would love me you this. Come here and ill tell you. Come here and ill tell you. I was interviewed a i was interviewed by a foreign language. Publication right recently. Right recently. Which. So basically, im not going to tell you the typical. No. So what they did was they then took my interview. No. Oh, no. oh, no. And they put it through an ai interpretation thing. What a lot of did it come out mumbo jumbo. Couldnt believe it, but probably because you litter your language with all these Northern Irish kind of correct. Yeah. And they just they could not translate it or understand natalia. And they used words like paradigm which i would never use. Use. Use. Right. Right. , and then they graded you and, and then they graded you and they talked about, when i grew up on my farm, right, with my father and brothers who were farmers, and i dont know where this came from. So, so when i, i dont know what has interpreted from my father a carpet fitter father being a carpet fitter into a farmer, but, you know, we talk. Well, youve talked a lot about stupidity. This morning and everyone talks about al as being thing. Being this terrifying thing. Sometimes think its sometimes i actually think its really, stupid. Whenever really, really stupid. Whenever ive used it or chatgpt or whatever. And ive googled you or. Its full of errors about or me. Its full of errors about us and our backgrounds. So im not convinced.

Weve got Claire Muldoon , weve weve got Claire Muldoon, weve got Alex Armstrong here this morning because we couldnt get anybody out. Anybody out. Thats not true, claire. Thats not true, claire. Whats itching you . Whats whats got whats getting you talking today . Do you know what . It seems as if its a slow news day, but its actually not. Theres lot happening in theres quite a lot happening in the got, cameron the world. Weve got, cameron visiting weve got rachel visiting trump. Weve got Rachel Reeves on the manifesto, but all of these manifestos, theyd be lucky if anything actually lucky if anything is actually manifested. Yes. It just. Of course. Do you know what i mean . Say what they want. Let me say what they want. Let me ask you about cameron. Why is cameron going to see trump . Two things. Cameron is not going to be in power. Trump is going to be in power. Trump is going to be power. That sure. Be in power. That is for sure. Well, he thinks so, well, clearly he thinks so, doesnt he thinks and he also thinks that bidens going be in bidens not going to be in power. Else he would have visited he . Visited biden, wouldnt he . What are the exactly. I mean, what are the opfics exactly. I mean, what are the optics whole if optics of this whole visit, if nothing say its nothing less than to say its a foregone conclusion trump foregone conclusion that trump might in. And foregone conclusion that trump mighlord in. And foregone conclusion that trump mighlord cameron, in. And foregone conclusion that trump mighlord cameron, the n. And foregone conclusion that trump mighlord cameron, the worsti then lord cameron, the worst ever i think ever foreign minister, i think in our time. Really . Yeah i agree, i really dont like i do i do you oh i mean, just look his oh i mean, just look at his foreign was Foreign Policy while he was actually minister actually Prime Minister i mean, you know, cosying up to china, selling swathes of london off. Now hes obviously chinas the big enemy. That was just ago. Is just a few weeks ago. This is a guy that oversaw of those guy that oversaw all of those problems. Hes the man problems. And now hes the man supposedly to fix it, i just is easy, though, with the crystal ball. I do castigate. Ball. Of course i do castigate. I think whats perhaps more interesting is the sort of unlikely union. Look, theyre both right wing, arent they . Trump youve both right wing, arent they . Trurcameron, youve both right wing, arent they . Trurcameron, wrote youve both right wing, arent they . Trurcameron, wrote in uve both right wing, arent they . Trurcameron, wrote in hise got cameron, who wrote in his memoirs on the record that this man was a misogynist misogynist, that he was xenophobic, that he was divisive. How do you think that they that went down when they were sipping florida . That went down when they were sippsure florida . That went down when they were sippsure if florida . That went down when they were sippsure if trumps florida . That went down when they were sippsure if trumps read da . That went down when they were sippsure if trumps read those im sure if trumps read those memoirs, hes famously memoirs, hes quite famously skinned, memoirs, hes quite famously skirtrump couldnt give two hoots trump couldnt give two hoots what David Cameron thinks. Im surprised hes even met him. So am i. so am i. Do you know what i think hed say . Dont say . Dont cry, david. Dont cry, david. Dont cry no good. Dont cry. Dont cry no good. Dont cry. Dont cry no good. Dont cry. I dont even think trump would understand what misogyny was. I would understand what misogyny was. I dont think you even think you could make it up, you know . But the other thing know . And but the other thing is, why is cameron wanting, trump to fund his part of nato to fund the war in ukraine . I think its an absolute sham. I really , really do. Really, really do. Meaning . Meaning what . Meaning . Meaning what . Well, i think, well , what well, i think, well, what i think is that the war in ukraine against russia is something a bit more political, a bit more nuanced than, you know, an actual all out war. I think theres money being held. I think theres its a its a money making machine. And i think its being laundered. I dont think its a right and just war, a money making machine i for 5mm for whom . For the arms companies. Well, as well. Well, as well. Or for people trading in oil or wheat. Yes, yes. Theres something funny going on there really, really is. You could say that about any war. But, i mean, i think the west certainly war. But, i mean, i think the west of certainly war. But, i mean, i think the west of people certainly war. But, i mean, i think the west of people are certainly war. But, i mean, i think the west of people are agreed, ly most of people are agreed, whether who whether its trump now who admits that his position previously on nato was a bit controversial, that you have to stand up against the aggression of. And defend ukraine, of russia. And defend ukraine, because if you dont, which country will be next . This is europe. This is on european soil. Its trump not saying how does this end . Because i dont its trump not saying how does tiis end . Because i dont its trump not saying how does ti dont . Because i dont its trump not saying how does ti dont thinkause i dont its trump not saying how does ti dont think anyone ont its trump not saying how does ti dont think anyone knows know. I dont think anyone knows where to end where this war is going to end because a war attrition. Because its a war of attrition. Now, really. Got now, isnt it really. Youve got the literally the ukrainians sort of literally in the in trenches. Youve got the russians just russians saying, were just going putting people going to keep on putting people on lines. And this is on the front lines. And this is what putin is banking on. On everybody hes banking on everybody to get not want to get tired of it, to not want to fund, the war machine anymore. And then he has got point. And then he has got a point. Has got this about that. He has got a point that, especially point about that, especially with financial crisis the with the financial crisis the west facing. And west is facing. By and large, i mean, all us, we look at our mean, all of us, we look at our all our own lives. You could all our own lives. And you could listen labour talking about listen to labour talking about theyre going us more and theyre going to tax us more and whatever, people whatever, whatever. But people have harder. Have never had it harder. I really think, well, yeah, but really do think, well, yeah, but itd be a lot worse under putin. Should speak to hard you should speak to how hard it under putin in it is under under putin in russia. Its the russia. Yeah. Its the alternative , can we talk, alternative, can we talk, claire, about. Well, weve sort of touched on tax dodgers. Do we want to dwell on that . I mean, a big labour story in front of the lord of the papers. But again, its down to manifestos. Its just manifestos. I mean, its just incredible. All this rhetoric coming from both sides now. Coming out from both sides now. Well, we have to fix what 16 years of conservative government have done and we will fix it by £555 billion. Investment in hmrc and what are hmrc saying . Whoa, great. Wonderful well its just not on. Where are they going to get this money from. And you know shes got the it sounds almost as if its tony blair again but she, shes banking on hmrc paying for themselves. So theyre basically saying well invest 5 billion in you or whatever it and i get us 500 whatever it is. And i get us 500 billion. Yeah. Well there is a deficit there, billion there, £32 billion deficit between expect to get between what they expect to get in and theyre not getting in. Well, understand that well, i dont understand that because weve just had because weve weve just had another in the another surplus in the government recently. And theyre saying they need to find more. I just dont know how much more you can squeeze out of people in this country. We i think we need this country. We i think we need to invest in growth, grow the economy. Thats thats the way people money. People spend more money. Dont dont reduce dont tax us to reduce tax, reduce tax to come down. Let money, let people use their and let people run their money and let people run their money and let people run the economy by buying. You cant grow a country through taxes and clawing money. Clawing back money. Owed is famously that is owed is famously difficult, isnt it . And it really ends up in expensive litigation. And the tories say theyve already implemented 200 measures to tackle this. Measures to try and tackle this. They think its that they dont think its that simple. Reeves might be simple. Rachel reeves might be sort. Sort of fanciful. Its talk, as claire says, its talk and talk is cheap. Talk is the cheapest thing with all of this. I mean, when you look at, who you need to go or the Big Companies who dont the Big Companies who they dont touch and the, you touch the amazons and the, you know, companies that know, all these companies that are paying in are that are not paying tax in this theyre this country. So theyre creating then creating employment and then they Little People they hire the Little People and then the Little People are taxed. The taxed. So that gives the government money government extra money there. But that but the big guys that are creating employment creating the employment arent taxed its taxed on this on and its laughable problem laughable when the other problem is, look, people who earn cash, right . People who take cash. Right . People who take cash. Yeah, i can you, its just yeah, i can tell you, its just theyre. Not declaring that. Theyre. Not declaring that. Theyre not declaring it. And thats why they want to go from a cash society to a Paperless Society , so they know what society, so they know what everybodys up what everybodys up to and what theyre you theyre doing. But even if you were from, you were to take money from, you know, earning know, somebody whos earning £50,000 theyre £50,000 a year and theyre making thousand quid making an extra thousand quid through fiddling cash or whatever is thats paying whatever it is thats not paying the not, its the bills. No, no its not, its still these Big Companies still after these Big Companies that weve got to go. And the other issue i have with these Big Companies is the fact using people fact that theyre using people almost human slaves. Its almost like human slaves. Its these hour contracts. They these zero hour contracts. They are appalling. You cannot hold a family together on a zero hour contract. You cannot move up the ladder property ladder on a zero hour contract. They are useless, a mortgage. You cant get a loan. You cant think of the future. Exactly. Exactly. But, claire, you looked at the of express. And the front of the express. And here we are talking about more taxes taxes taxes and clawing back taxes that and you that are unpaid. And then you see services in see the services that are in desperate need funding. And desperate need of funding. And this specifically desperate need of funding. And this patientsspecifically desperate need of funding. And this patients, ecifically desperate need of funding. And this patients , whatslly desperate need of funding. And this patients , whats their line. So this is a this is a report on a campaign from the daily express. Now that they want to increase the funding for more radiotherapy centres, radiotherapy treatment centres, youre supposed to have a 45 minute journey to your place that you need to get your oncology treatment. And what this what they express have found is that thats not the case in of britain. Thats case in parts of britain. Thats absolutely diabolical. When people are being tested and theyre being observed and theyre being observed and theyre finding out that they have got cancer, they need to be treated, i would say that the forward planning of the nhs has been so chronically bad, so chronically mismanaged , and so chronically mismanaged, and so chronically mismanaged, and so chronically mismanaged, and so chronically mis funded as well in terms of the way they manage it. But claire, what you then if you were in charge of the health service, whatever it is, and people can go on, theyll always find ways of spending but find ways of spending money. But the thing is, alex, youve got to say which thing is worth spending money and you can spending money on. And you can argue is worth argue that toothache is worth spending money on. Cancer treatment is worth spending whatever. How you actually treatment is worth spending whatorer. How you actually treatment is worth spending whato somebody, you actually treatment is worth spending whato somebody, youwereilly treatment is worth spending whato somebody, youwere not say to somebody, no, were not in the business of doing ingrown toenails or whatever, because thatis toenails or whatever, because that is what has to happen eventually. Youve got to say, alex, ingrown toenail is alex, youre ingrown toenail is your problem. You have to pay for yourself. Its for for that yourself. Its not for the government to for. Yeah. The government to pay for. Yeah. Thing is, its really and the thing is, its really politically unpopular to say that eamonn, you know, no politician going out politician is going to come out and say, not going to and say, were not going to were to deal with were not going to deal with that. Really part of that. And thats really part of the problem. We do need as a country to have a conversation about what we out of our about what we want out of our health service, we keep health service, because we keep chucking cash into chucking more and more cash into it and the has it every year. And the nhs has gone budget , but its gone up in budget, but its never and why . The never enough. And why . What the question know why question i want to know is why is never enough . What is it . Question i want to know is why is thats enough . What is it . Question i want to know is why is thats entrue, . What is it . Question i want to know is why is thats entrue, . Whatill it . Thats so true, alex . Ill tell enough. Tell you why its never enough. Because now operate. Because the nhs now operate. Like a menu when you walk into a restaurant. Yeah. What would you like to have done to you today . Would you like bigger breasts . Exactly. Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. Like ageing would you like also ageing population . With complex needs. More people with complex needs. Yes. About obesity. Yes. Weve talked about obesity. Legitimate. Yes. Weve talked about obesity. I legitimate. Yes. Weve talked about obesity. I l its very bloated isnt it . Its very bloated isnt it . We also have to be honest and say, you know, we are experiencing the highest immigration on record and thats going to continue. 97 of our population growth will be immigrants over the next ten years. And thats going were years. And thats going to were going to build five going to need to build five cities, of cities, the equivalent of birmingham sustain that and birmingham to sustain that and all those services, doctors and nurses to support those people. Nurses to support those people. A lot of those immigrants are the doctors nurses. The doctors and nurses. Well, truing nhs. Truing up the nhs.

All the presenters should wear the same as eamonns budgie smugglers and present the programme. Im objecting to that. No, im not wearing budgie smugglers. Without, you know, smugglers. Without, you know, celebs going to australia. So she could definitely indulge in some know indulge in some dont know listen while weve been listen while while weve been away here during the break, weve been reciting the alphabet and theres a very the guy who presents University Challenge is called amol rajan and basically hes in trouble there. Isabel, why is he in trouble . Isabel, why is he in trouble . Well, because the University Challenge is to see all these very learned people coming together how clever together and testing how clever they they really, they are, and they really, really object to the way he says the letter. I dont know how to the letter. I dont know how to say it without giving away how i say it. Heres how we do. Heres how we do. Each going to we do. Were each going to recite the alphabet, okay, past the clare, go. The letter. So clare, go, go. And then stop at the letter that were talking a, b, c, d, were talking about a, b, c, d, e, g h. E, f, g h. It again a b c d e, f, g h. Itagainabcde ugh. It again a bc defg. Sayitagainabcdefg. Sayitagainabcdefg. You can say it o h okay alex a b c d e fg you can say ito hokay alex abcdefgh you can say itohokay alex abcdefghhcdefgha bc abcdefghhcdefgha bed abcdefghhcdefgha bcdefgho. Soyouandamol are on the same page with this. And where are you . And where are you . Caused outcry. Caused outcry. You never tell anybody what you just said im an h. You do. Ijust said im an h. Sorry a c d e f g you do. Ijust said im an h. Sorrya cdefgh. Ohsorryabcdefgh. Right. So anyway, caused an right. So anyway, hes caused an upset, and hes been upset, apparently. And hes been inundated with about inundated with complaints about the says hitch, the way, like me, he says hitch, isabel and everybody else says h i right. And so this is a thing this is very interesting. I this is very interesting. I dont know what is right or wrong or whatever, but thats just the way we were taught at school. But in Northern Ireland, in when i was a in belfast when i was a teenagen in belfast when i was a teenager. Alex. Right, you would be school and be coming home from school and you would be stopped and youd be recite the alphabet, be asked to recite the alphabet, and this would be by rival religious gangs. And this would be by rival religious gangs. And basically religious gangs. And basically if you said h the way isabel says it, theyre by and large you would be taught by an engush you would be taught by an English Institution or whatever. So you would be more likely to be protestant. And if you said be protestant. And if you said h, that was a reflection on the gaelic, the way youd have been taughtin gaelic, the way youd have been taught in a catholic school, i love this. And then you would have had the you love it. You would have it. Would have loved it. Get head kicked when you get your head kicked in understanding because in understanding it, because my husband his mother, in understanding it, because my husihes his mother, in understanding it, because my husihes irish. His mother, but hes irish. Well, also catholic, but well, im also catholic, but i got that. I havent got that. Yeah, then your english yeah, but then your english influenced . Yeah. Influenced right . Yeah. So we wouldnt have right. So we wouldnt have been influence. Right. So we wouldnt have beeso influence. Right. So we wouldnt have beeso you influence. Right. So we wouldnt have beeso you just influence. Right. So we wouldnt have beeso you just gotluence. Right. So we wouldnt have beeso you just got beaten so so you just got beaten up, so you be careful whether you had to be careful whether you had to be careful whether you lied and said h even though you lied and said h even though you were a h person. Oh my goodness. Fraught with trouble , fraught with trouble. Trouble, fraught with trouble. So anyway, did you ever get beaten for it wrong . Beaten up for getting it wrong . No. Also was able to run no. I also was able to run very , very quickly. The other very, very quickly. The other thing you were asked to do was to recite the hail mary. And the thing is, do you recite the hail mary or do you pretend you dont know which then proves know it, which then proves youre or if you youre catholic . Yeah or if you dont recite it, youre bluffing that protestant. So that youre protestant. So believe me, life all screwed believe me, my life all screwed up. Absolutely. So where is mr up. Absolutely. So where is mr rajan at . Where is he at . Well, hes in everybody he knows and his whole family says h, but hes now going to change his ways, which i actually think is sadder. I think he should just stick to his guns, if thats always thats what hes always said. Say apparently its say h, mate, but apparently its upset so many people. He said, although he made this, i quite like this, quote. He quotes George Bernard shaws observation its impossible for an englishman to open his mouth without making some other englishman hate despise him. Englishman hate or despise him. Do you think do you think that was a basis of the scottish hate law . Then i think its a use of. I think its a use of. Its actually kind of like you know, maybe hes read something for a change. Claire, i was in glasgow at the weekend. Right. And everybody was talking about the old firm game. Right. And they were all talking about this whole, oh, were going to make complaints and were going to do were were going to do this. Were going people were going to do that. People were laughing this , this laughing at this, this, this so called hate bill. Yeah. Everywhere they making an everywhere they were making an issue about it. Theres reports today that the police are just completely overwhelmed by inundated. Mean, theres been jokes. I mean, i saw the funniest joke i saw onune saw the funniest joke i saw online about this, and i saw if anyones by it. But anyones offended by it. But there a someone lot there was a someone filmed a lot of swarming this place in of police swarming this place in glasgow, and the comment i glasgow, and the comment was, i think theres been a mass misgendering thats the misgendering and but thats the kind silliness that people kind of silliness that people think this law is. And it is a joke, isnt it . Now, heres something that i find, i just think its awful. Think its awful. I think, by and large, with food, were being poisoned and no one does anything about it. And i dont care if the poison is sugar toxins. This is sugar or toxins. This is front metro newspaper. Front of the metro newspaper. And today. And basically what it says is here is forever. Toxins. Says is here is forever. Toxins. These are toxins that just dont go and in our fruit and go away and in our fruit and veg. So go away and in our fruit and veg. So these are spread over all of these things and they stay there a lifetime. Yeah. You cant wash them off. These are the worst. And then once you eat them presumably theyre body forever. Theyre in your body forever. Chemicals your and chemicals are in your body and wonder theres this huge wonder why theres this huge rise cancer. Wonder why theres this huge rise thats|cer. Wonder why theres this huge risethats it. . Wonder why theres this huge risethats it. The statistics. Thats it. The statistics. And theres evidence to completely back up what you have just said, isabel, that all these, gm crops, all these crops that have been sprayed on the polytunnels , etc, etc, when we polytunnels, etc, etc, when we eat them, when we digest them , eat them, when we digest them, these things keep the toxins, keep in your body, its in. And then when you drink from a bottle of water to wash it down, and the water is from a plastic bottle and the plastic staying within your system. And my point , alex, is they knew my point, alex, is they knew these things. Why dont they ban them . Why dont they ban the use of plastic, single use, throwaway plastic . Why are we throwaway plastic . Why are we drinking from a plastic bottle . Why are we drinking a why are we not drinking from a glass bottle .

Then some of my attention. But then id look , theres id be saying, oh, look, theres that needs done or this needs done, ive got watch this done, or ive got to watch this on the the dog needs to on the tv, or the dog needs to be a walk whatever it be brought a walk or whatever it happens so youre not happens to be.

New developments in the manhunt masoom , manhunt for habiba masoom, suspected of stabbing a woman to death in bradford on saturday. Mark the latest. Mark white has the latest. Well, it is a Shocking Development as Court Documents reveal that the prime suspect in this fatal stabbing was on bail. This fatal stabbing was on bail. Previously charged with assaulting and threatening to kill kusuma akhtar, who was stabbed to death on saturday afternoon. Afternoon. Millions of people across nonh millions of people across north america have turned their eyes to the sky to catch a glimpse of the Solar Eclipse overnight. Overnight. Labour have pledged to crack down on tax dodgers in a bid to fund their pledges for the nhs, and well be speaking to the shadow financial secretary, james in a moment. James murray, in just a moment. But how clean is our fruit and vegetables . We will be speaking to self proclaimed king of vegetables about the concerning rise of pesticides in our food. Our food. And this morning well be asking whether the Foreign Office is too elitist. This is, as former diplomats call for radical reform to the department. Thats our debate. Later. Later. Front page. The mirror today talks about the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves. Shes set to announce a new crackdown on what she terms our tax dodgers in a bid to help fund the nhs. So thats all the good bit. Who are these tax dodgers and. And where are we going to get this money from . Lets go to james murray and james is the shadow financial secretary. And james, how much of this money is floating about . And who are floating about . And who are these tax dodgers. These tax dodgers. Yeah. What we know that theres up to £6 billion, which could be got from a greater focus on compliance and efforts on tax avoidance. Thats what the head of the National Audit office said earlier this year. And so were setting out our plans today to crack down on that tax avoidance and to get that tax avoidance and to get that money into the public purse, because, you know, when people across britain are people right across britain are paying people right across britain are paying and more tax, we paying more and more tax, we think its wrong minority think its wrong that a minority are getting away without paying what they owe. And so thats why were setting out our plans. What they owe. And so thats why weie setting out our plans. What they owe. And so thats why wei want ng out our plans. What they owe. And so thats why wei want to out our plans. What they owe. And so thats why wei want to know,|r plans. What they owe. And so thats why wei want to know, do lans. What they owe. And so thats why wei want to know, do they owe i want to know, do they owe £100, £100 million . Im £100, £1000 or £100 million . Im just of trying to get who just sort of trying to get who who these villains are. Who these villains are. Yeah. Well, one part of our plan is to remove the loopholes which the government has left open for non doms in their plans to follow our lead and close the non dom tax loophole this year. So, as you may remember, weve been setting out for a number of years about ending non dom tax status. The government said they wanted to follow our lead after years they wouldnt , years of saying they wouldnt, but theyre leaving open loopholes in which means loopholes in that, which means that paying that people can avoid paying hundreds millions pounds hundreds of millions of pounds of to close of tax. So we want to close those loopholes but part those loopholes. But thats part of broader to of a broader approach to investment hmrc to improve investment in hmrc to improve compliance. And, you know, one of the areas where its important to focus, for instance, is on some of the larger businesses where they will have tax affairs, which are more complicated, where the sums of money were talking about are greater. And so thats a really important place to focus efforts to sure people to make sure people and businesses paying the tax businesses are paying the tax that they owe. It was so easy to claw back this money. Why didnt you announce it before . Isnt it simply that over the last four weeks, you and effectively your boss Rachel Reeves and the team in treasury have been in the treasury have been desperately to plug desperately trying to plug a black hole thats been blown into your sums by the chancellor when he decided to use your non dom tax policy. Non dom tax policy. Well, weve long set out our ambitions to take on the tax gap and to make sure that people pay their fair share of tax, that people pay what they owe. We set out for a number of years about how we wanted to close the non dom tax loophole. Youre right years of right to say that after years of opposing us, the government u turned and followed lead. U turned and followed our lead. But government has still but the government has still left in their plans. Left holes in their plans. Theyve loopholes , theyve still left loopholes, which means that non doms will get hundreds get away without paying hundreds of millions of pounds of tax that they should be paying. So we how we would close we set out how we would close those part of our those loopholes as part of our wider to improve wider efforts to improve compliance and down on Tax Compliance and crack down on tax avoidance, money avoidance, because thats money that were owed as the taxpayer and go into and and should go into the nhs and breakfast clubs as we as we set out. Well, james, we were talking about this earlier the about this earlier in the program think program today and i think everybodys favour of the everybodys in favour of the idea that if you are particularly massive company, particularly a massive company, a big company, whether youre apple, whether youre amazon or , apple, whether youre amazon or, you know, i dont know who to name on this, but the seems name on this, but the idea seems to be that can come here, to be that they can come here, they set up business, they can set up business, they can jobs people can give lots of jobs to people on salaries , but they on small salaries, but they themselves avoid paying the big bills. Now the argument against you on this will be if you make life difficult for these big employers, theyll simply go elsewhere and well lose out on the jobs. The jobs. Well, there has been a piece of work over the last few years about some of those large multi nationals making sure that they pay nationals making sure that they pay their fair share of tax. And weve been pushing the government to take action on that as part of a International Deal to make sure that we end that race to the bottom, because otherwise what some large multinationals do is shift their profits around to areas where there are lower effective tax rates and avoid paying their fair share. But this is a this is a broader piece were talking about here. So this is about making sure that right across the people pay the tax the board, people pay the tax that they owe. And know, we that they owe. And you know, we know majority of people know the vast majority of people in not just paying in britain are not just paying taxes, and more taxes, but paying more and more taxes. You know, tax burden taxes. You know, the tax burden is be its highest in 70 is set to be its highest in 70 years. And so particularly in that , its not fair that that context, its not fair that a minority not paying what a minority are not paying what they owe. And thats why we believe this an important believe this is an important time focus efforts on closing time to focus efforts on closing that tax gap and make sure everyone their share. Everyone pays their fair share. How would Angela Rayner fare under this tighter scrutiny of tax affairs . Tax affairs . Well, Angela Rayner has been under scrutiny in the media recently. Shes answered all the questions. You know, im questions. You know, im confident shes done nothing wrong. Why wont you publish her legal advice and. Well, thats a personal matter for angela. You know, what were saying is that if you look at what the conservatives are doing in office, they are making sure there are loopholes there for non doms to continue avoiding paying hundreds of Million Pounds of tax. And im sure, you know, they are happy to talk about someone in the labour party to try distract labour party to try and distract attention away from their record in what want in government. But what i want to talk about, what im interested sure were interested in making sure were setting our plans to setting out, is our plans to close those loopholes worth hundreds of millions, billions of over the next of pounds over the next Parliament Fund public services. You services. you services. You see that its but you must see that its ironic that you are talking ironic that here you are talking about clamp down on about trying to clamp down on tax loopholes and tax avoidance, and there are questions in the pubuc and there are questions in the public domain, not least, that have been published by the mail on in on sunday and other papers in recent weeks, her own photographs seeming to contradict her own version of events. Got tory party events. Weve got the tory party chair saying out this morning that richard that that richard holden, that this is highly corrosive to the reputation of your leader, sir keir starmer. What i think is what is absolutely hypocritical and awful, james, is a lot of these accusations are coming from people who are non dom, who are outside and who may be in a position where theyre dodging hundreds of millions of pounds that could be taxed. And, you know, what is the worst Case Scenario with Angela Rayner . She owes £1,000 or something. You know, the point is, she could be our future deputy Prime Minister. And if she doesnt have to pay and if she doesnt have to pay taxes that shes owed, pay the taxes that shes owed, why should any this is why should any of us . This is a legitimate of somebody legitimate question of somebody whos likely whos very likely to be in a very of very significant position of power we power in this country. We there have been plenty of questions put to angela in recent weeks, and shes answered them. Im confident shes done nothing wrong. But, you know, as eamonn there are hundreds eamonn said, there are hundreds of of pounds, billions of millions of pounds, billions of millions of pounds, billions of over the few of pounds over the next few years, non doms are going years, which non doms are going to avoid paying because the government know, in government are, you know, in broad daylight, leaving open these they these loopholes so they can avoid paying their fair share. You know, talking you know, weve been talking about the unfairness of non doms not paying their fair share of tax for years and years. The government have been opposing us, tooth nail. Us, you know, tooth and nail. Finally, u turn, they finally, they u turn, but they leave loophole , which leave a gaping loophole, which means that hundreds of millions, billions over the next billions of pounds over the next few years will still be avoided because loopholes the because of the loopholes the government leaving open for government are leaving open for those non doms. James, going to okay, james, were going to leave. Well from leave it there. Well hear from the rachel the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves , today on what shes got reeves, today on what shes got planned. But thanks for highlighting things. Appreciate it. Thank highlighting things. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Now, Court Documents have revealed that the murder suspect in the fatal stabbing of a woman in the fatal stabbing of a woman in bradford was out on bail after making threats to assault and kill her. This is a terribly disturbing story. What we know at the story. What we know at the moment is habib masoom was 25 years of age. Hes from bangladesh. Hes a bangladeshi bangladesh. Hes a Bangladeshi National. He came to britain on a student visa. Lets go to our Homeland Security editor mark white. And mark will fill you in more with what we know. Good morning. Mark good morning. Well, this case certainly has taken a serious and worrying turn. Perhaps not a and worrying turn. Perhaps not a surprise, though, given that West Yorkshire police and Greater Manchester police said yesterday afternoon that theyd referred themselves to the policing watchdog , the policing watchdog, the independent office for police conduct, because of previous contact they had had with both the victim, kusuma akhtar, and the victim, kusuma akhtar, and the prime suspect, Habiba Masood , that contact we now know was in the form of allegations and a subsequent charge of habib masoom , who appeared in court at masoom, who appeared in court at manchester Magistrates Court on the 27th of november last year to face charges that he assaulted kusuma akhtar and also that he threatened to kill her. Now he denied those charges. He now he denied those charges. He was granted conditional bail despite prosecution objections and one of the conditions was that he did not go anywhere near kusuma akhtar. And of course we now know that she was stabbed to death on saturday afternoon in Bradford City centre and that masoom is the prime suspect. Police have described him as extremely dangerous. They warned the public not to go anywhere near him, but if they have any information on his whereabouts, to dial 999. And yesterday we revealed as well that masoom came to the uk two years ago. Hes a Bangladeshi National. He arrived here on a student visa. Arrived here on a student visa. Now what were told is that he is not an overstayer , that he is is not an overstayer, that he is still legitimately here on that student visa. However, the Home Office Said that they would not go into his immigration status. They did say, however , that they did say, however, that anyone who is a Foreign National and who is ultimately convicted of a serious crime would be deported at the earliest possible opportunity. Possible opportunity. Leave it there. Thank you very much indeed. And, its very interesting that people get an idea of that man from his video blogs that he does, and the accusation thats levelled at him at the moment. How do those both go together . Your views are both go together . Your views are always welcome. Gb news. Com forward slash your say the new way to get in touch with us. Yeah were going stateside now. The foreign secretary lord cameron flown overnight and cameron has flown overnight and met with donald trump at his met up with donald trump at his mar florida, residence mar a lago, florida, residence before hell be holding talks with us with his counterpart, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, doing a joint press conference afternoon. Conference this afternoon. So what was discussed . Its believed ukraine, nato , the believed ukraine, nato, the middle east all on the agenda. And this is the first summit between a senior government minister and the former president since he left office in lets get the views in 2021. Lets not get the views of former chief of staff to nadhim zahawi. And thats james price. James, were sitting price. James, were sitting were just scratching our heads here a bit and just wondering, cameron, how long would he be foreign secretary for . How long would he be in government for , would he be in government for, assuming that what use is trump unless he becomes president , which looks highly likely that he would , why is he seeing he would, why is he seeing cameron . Why is cameron going to see him . Its a great question. I mean, i think back in 2016, you still got David Cameron as Prime Minister before the brexit debate. Youve trump this debate. Youve got trump as this insurgent outsider. No one gave a hope in hell of him becoming president. And he talked about how have. One how he would have. I think one of controversial things of the most controversial things was from muslim was a ban on people from muslim countries united countries entering the united states, the way, would states, that by the way, would have boss, have affected my old boss, nadhim born nadhim zahawi, who was born in baghdad. Nadhim zahawi, who was born in baghdad. And cameron said that baghdad. And cameron said that these it was these things were stupid. It was wrong. Rest of it safe wrong. All the rest of it safe in the knowledge that trump would president. Would never be president. It would never be president. It would worry about would never be president. It wouldthings. Worry about would never be president. It wouldthings. Forward about would never be president. It wouldthings. Forward allout these things. Fast forward all these things. Fast forward all these as he these years. Lord cameron, as he now secretary , having now is foreign secretary, having to go and talk to him. And this is nature diplomacy. Is just the nature of diplomacy. This these things work. This is how these things work. You you i find you know, you i think we find that america 350 years ago, that in america 350 years ago, they decided they want they decided they didnt want this be controlling this island to be controlling them. It was foolish this island to be controlling thus. It was foolish this island to be controlling thus. Be it was foolish this island to be controlling thus. Be opining; foolish this island to be controlling thus. Be opining on foolish this island to be controlling thus. Be opining on onfoolish this island to be controlling thus. Be opining on on whats of us to be opining on on whats going on over there. Im just looking the that looking forward to the idea that if starmer does ever if keir starmer does ever actually make it as Prime Minister gets back minister and trump gets back into house, two minister and trump gets back intc going house, two minister and trump gets back intc going to house, two minister and trump gets back intcgoing to haveuse, two minister and trump gets back intc going to have to 5, two minister and trump gets back intc going to have to e, uptwo are going to have to cosy up with other as well. With each other as well. Well, yeah, i heard farage saying between saying hed be the go between between which saying hed be the go between be anzen which saying hed be the go between bean unlikely which saying hed be the go between bean unlikely set which saying hed be the go between bean unlikely set of which saying hed be the go between bean unlikely set of people which saying hed be the go between bean unlikely set of people to hich is an unlikely set of people to put in a, in a little sandwich. There but just going back to cameron, if youve read his memoir on the record, not only at the time did he call him xenophobic and racist for those comments about muslims, but, i mean, hes called him a misogynist. Hes called him divisive. Hold back. Divisive. He didnt hold back. Those in black and those memoirs are in black and white. Now. Trump might not be, you sits down you know, a man who sits down and book, but presumably and reads a book, but presumably hell by advisers hell be told by his advisers some the views that lord some of the views that lord cameron has. Theyre not exactly a marriage made heaven. Do a marriage made in heaven. Do you will matter . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit will matter . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit in will matter . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit in trumpsnill matter . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit in trumps interestter . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit in trumps interest to . And a marriage made in heaven. Do yoit in trumps interest to sit1d is it in trumps interest to sit down with lord cameron . Well, i suppose when theresa may had some of these things put to prime to her when she was Prime Minister, she you know, minister, she said, you know, maybe sometimes opposites attract. Minutes attract. And then a few minutes later you see them Holding Hands going down. Thats true. Steps together, this is just the Nature International nature of international diplomacy. Think the diplomacy. And i think the wonderful half is wonderful thing my other half is american. Have the special american. We have the special relationship. I think its something much something that goes much, much deeper politics, deeper than just politics, military deeper than just politics, miterms intelligence. In in terms of intelligence. In terms of economics. I think we should be cosying up with the americans much, much more because are, as lincoln because they are, as lincoln said, last best for said, the last best hope for mankind thats mankind and in the world. Thats getting increasingly dangerous. China with russia, with iran all working to be working together, we need to be Standing Shoulder to shoulder on these big issues. And thats what to talk to what camerons gone to talk to trump about. Because wants trump about. And because wants trump about. And sort because wants trump about. And sort out ause wants trump about. And sort out thise wants trump about. And sort out this blockants to try and sort out this block by republican in by republican senators in congress of big Funding Congress of this big funding package, for package, aid package for ukraine. That, i suppose, is why hes gone to an unelected official because of his representative, links republican links rather than its a snub from biden not to be meeting lord cameron is that how you would view it . Absolutely. Would view it . Yeah, absolutely. This has been and i think this has been happening as well. Happening in reverse as well. When over here, when americans come over here, theyve the theyve been seeing the government and theyve also been seeing sir Keir Starmers team as well. I think thats just an important part of doing this. The american politics important part of doing this. The is american politics important part of doing this. The is you american politics important part of doing this. The is you havearican politics important part of doing this. The is you have to an politics important part of doing this. The is you have to an and ics important part of doing this. The is you have to an and get work is you have to try and get things through both things passed through both houses throw houses of congress. You throw all bits in all sorts of different bits in so as well as giving money for ukraine, the republicans want money to protect the southern border. Got border. We think weve got a problem ilLegal Immigration problem with ilLegal Immigration in the uk.

And just to let you know, still to come, former diplomats are calling for radical changes to the Foreign Office , as if that will affect office, as if that will affect us. Anyway, debating us. Anyway, well be debating whether Foreign Office is whether the Foreign Office is too. Well, they say elitist. Its not elitist. Its talking about, it put its big about, is it . Has it put its big foot top of everybody in the foot on top of everybody in the world . And does everybody hate the Foreign Office because of all debating all of that . Were debating that. Another that. You see, its another thing why should you know thing that why should you know what it is . Its another thing. Its another thing. Its another one of these arguments says why arguments that says why you shouldnt be proud to be british. Thats what british. Basically, thats what it right , and british. Basically, thats what it right, and if thats not it is, right, and if thats not me, thats only me telling you what the theory is about this. Theyre putting the boot into the office, rightly the Foreign Office, rightly or wrongly, i right. Some of the uks most senior diplomats have recommended reducing the number of colonial paintings in the Foreign Office to try and modernise it. Okay , so a report by senior okay, so a report by senior officials said the Foreign Office is somewhat elitist and rooted in the past. So is it joining us now to discuss all of this anti race , activist, a this anti race, activist, a manhattan and royal historian and broadcaster, rafe heydel mankoo. Rafe. Do you see heydel mankoo. Rafe. Do you see what theyre getting at here . Do you see why why , why the you see why why, why the accusation is being levelled . Look, a bit of interior decorating isnt going to solve the Foreign Offices woes. Lets get that straight. You know, the mandarins who wrote this report into the problems that the Foreign Office dont seem to realise that they themselves are the problem. Because for the the problem. Because for the past quarter of a century, our institutions have been run by people who actually loathe britain , who are embarrassed by britain, who are embarrassed by our history and any expression or pride or patriotism. Weve had. Essentially a long march through the institutions, and its one that has completely captured all of our institutions and the people who are now in place are a new elites, but they are a progressive, liberal elite, not the sort of elites we think about of old conservative chaps going eton so forth chaps going to eton and so forth. The new elites that occupy these buildings bear no resemblance to the generations who built them and ran them for years. Theyre actually cuckoos years. Theyre actually cuckoos in the nest. And in the case of the Foreign Office of course, the Foreign Office of course, the rot sets in much earlier. I mean, always been ashamed the rot sets in much earlier. I m britain invented the modern world, and the fact that there are so many democracies around the world is precisely because of empire. Of the British Empire. Eamonn, what would you see wrong with rafe argument there, well, i actually agree with the first point. So were doing better. Rafe were starting to find ways that we can agree. Not always, but sometimes your first point about changing paintings, solving the problems of the Foreign Office. I agree it wont solve all the problems with the Foreign Office, but it will help with, inclusivity. It will help with, inclusivity. It will help with making sure that anyone that comes into that office isnt , feeling kind of isnt, feeling kind of dehumanised because of paintings that remind them of subjugation and murder and rape of the past. Right. So its about that inclusivity. This is why its really important to change, paintings. Will it make a difference overall in terms of the issues that they need to deal with and helping our country . No, but it will help with inclusivity. Thats an with inclusivity. Thats an aside. In terms of you saying that, its run by elitists. Well, it is most organisations and most departments are elitism is centred around superiority in terms of equality or sorry qualities and, skills. Right. So qualities and, skills. Right. So i think its safe to say eamonns here today because of his skills. Right. He would technically, one could argue he is superior in his field. So every department in life, every institution that we have in britain is run by elitism. So i actually dont have a problem with that. The reason why i have an issue is because when we decide to be elitist, for those that arent white, we connect those things because its just a fact. Elitism is superiority , fact. Elitism is superiority, which connects to british superiority, which connects or is associated with the British Empire and the British Empire with its superiority is connected to the subjugation and exploitation, rape, torture and murder of many people around the world. So when we talk about elitism, were kind of talking about two separate issues. Weve got a superior set of people with skills and qualities, which is good thing in order to help is a good thing in order to help us thrive. And then youve also got that elitism, which basically lacks diversity in thought and the reason why we need diversity in thought, in regards to the Foreign Office, is because they deal with so many different types of communities, so many different types people, many types of people, so many different thoughts. Types of people, so many diffright thoughts. Types of people, so many diffright spent, thoughts. Types of people, so many diffright spent, knowrghts. Types of people, so many diffright spent, know and. Types of people, so many diffright spent, know and look, right spent, know and look, i dont disagree. Be dont disagree. Nobody should be dehumanise and nobody should be feeling when feeling subjugated when they step the Foreign Office. Step into the Foreign Office. But wouldnt you prefer the foreign thats not what Foreign Office . Thats not what youre saying. No, no, no, i am, i just want no, no, no, i am, ijust want im so that youve, im so glad that youve, validated just validated my point. I just wanted to say, imagine walking into gb news right and you into gb news right now, and you saw, like , pictures on the wall saw, like, pictures on the wall of, women like, of, like, women being, like, either beaten or or kind of, Foreign Office. And to be, to be honest, i mean, theres plenty of minority issues i can gripe about. Sorry. Can i just finish . Im just giving an example of just giving you an example of what would be like walk what it would be like to walk into of office where into some type of office where you gender, race, you are, your gender, your race, your demeaned , your age is, demeaned, belittled, used as a as a means to give pride to others whilst you and your people have suffered. You probably feel some type of way at that point. And i hear that point. Nobody should be subjugated. But wouldnt it better if the wouldnt it be better if the foreign spending that Foreign Office was spending that money energy, that on money that energy, that focus on perhaps tackling modern slavery, the issues weve got in china where there are uighurs being persecuted by the chinese, that would be surely under the Foreign Offices jurisdiction. Rafe heydel mankoo, dont you think . Better things think . There are Better Things to spending their time to be spending their time and energy to be spending their time and eneabsolutely. I dont think absolutely. I dont think imani has actually ever been to the Foreign Office because, i mean, images shes mean, the images that shes depicting exist. Mean, the images that shes dmean,g exist. Mean, the images that shes dmean, the exist. Mean, the images that shes dmean, the fact exist. Mean, the images that shes dmean, the fact is, exist. Mean, the images that shes dmean, the fact is, these ist. Mean, the images that shes dmean, the fact is, these are i mean, the fact is, these are these are wonderful works of art created by a jewish huguenot descendant of two suppressed minorities who escaped to britain for a better life as refugees , these celebrate refugees, these celebrate actually the history of britain bringing, bringing itself museum state. May i please finish my museum . Thank you so much. And just like it celebrates britain, actually , you know, bringing the actually, you know, bringing the bringing the many of the worlds countries up to the level where they joined the league of nafions they joined the league of nations after , after the First Nations after, after the first world war. And so its a celebration, actually , of celebration, actually, of britain playing its part in improving the world, creating democracies around the world and creating system where actually creating a system where actually we can have the sort of diplomacy rather than war, okay, that we have at the moment time. And what are we saying . Are we saying that ambassadors are too are past are too fragile to walk past their painting . James cleverly, their painting . James cleverly, you just said that. May i please finish my point . Youve had a long time to speak. Im terribly sorry. Come on, some of you. Youve had more time than me. Youve had more time than me. Both have say. So youre both have your say. Dont make dont worry. Well make sure. So and james thank you so much. And James Cleverly was asked about this because those because he walked past those paintings with the former president of south africa. And paintings with the former pre said it of south africa. And paintings with the former presaid neitheruth africa. And paintings with the former presaid neither of| africa. And paintings with the former pre said neither of them a. And paintings with the former pre said neither of them werej he said neither of them were bothered by any of this. You know, when the state know, when the when the state opening of parliament happens every parliament, the every year in parliament, the french has to sit french ambassador has to sit underneath a painting of waterloo, another waterloo, looking at another painting of trafalgar. I mean, come are more come on, there are much more important pressing issues around the world. The chinese and the russians will be laughing at us, strong, confident nations dont constantly navel gaze and beat themselves up about their past that they need to look forward and be champions for what britain is best at. Were fireworks behind there were fireworks behind you there. Not sure what you there. Im not sure what that about. Eamonn. Was that was all about. Eamonn. Was this agreed a this because you agreed on a point were thumbs point there . There were thumbs up the was up and then the fire. It was like moved. Like the earth moved. You realising that. Thank you for realising that. I to distract anyone i didnt want to distract anyone from your point. Rafe. You made a that agreed with a valid point that i agreed with and i my thumbs up and i saw and i put my thumbs up and i saw fireworks and really fireworks and i got really excited. Fireworks, excited. I do like fireworks, i do apologise, make a valid do apologise, you make a valid point. I dont disagree with you. There more you. There are far more important things than painting skies, think we can all skies, and i think we can all agree however, i also agree with that. However, i also say that paintings are really important. I just want to make two really quick points. I know were running time. Its were running out of time. Its not about pride, having not about pride, or having a problem with your pride. Pride is really important for self esteem, for every human being, for every community. Pride is so important. And thats why i need pride as a black person. So when i walk into an office, i dont want your british pride to diminish mine. And that is what im here mine. And that is what im here to talk about. Rafe you have your pride, sir. But if your pride diminishes my pride. If you want to hold on to statues, paintings and whatever, artefacts you stole during the 50 or. Sorry, the 50 countries in africa that you colonised. If you want to steal things. These are the things that give you your self esteem. If these are the things thats giving you your pride, then now we have a problem, guys, because now thats bitterness pride. Thats bitterness and pride. Youre reminding weve and youre reminding weve been have on been proud to have you both on this morning. Both this morning. Thank you both very indeed. Well say very much indeed.

Get in touch with us. Way. The way to do us. The new way. The way to do everything, which is that gbnews. Com forward slash uk, which is now, to be honest, a paul coyte love in because we asked for what people love about paul coyte. And actually so many of you getting in touch about that. I really hope hes watching this while home or reading while hes at home or reading them website. Were going them on the website.

You have to screenshot them theyll screenshot them or theyll be gone nice. Gone forever. Thats nice. Thats your thats very good. Keep your thoughts stay thoughts coming in and stay tuned. Our way. Alex and weve got Claire Muldoon. And weve got Claire Muldoon. And weve got Claire Muldoon. And weve got Alex Armstrong. And they had a great old kerfuffle earlier on. Had. We kerfuffle earlier on. We had. We were talking and lots were talking about lots and lots of that engaged a lot of of things that engaged a lot of reaction from you guys, which isabel to you, isabel will reflect to you, shortly. One of the things shortly. One of the things theres a lot of politicians and theres a lot of politicians and theres a lot of politicians and theres a lot of reports that have been caught up in a sixteen scandal at, at westminster, and this , alex has called a honey this, alex has called a honey trap scandal, so the chief Political Correspondent at the bbc, henry zeifman, and he says he was approached, through all of this as well. Of this as well. And just to quote Nadine Dorries, she says, it makes you wonder why tory high command is so protective of politician so protective of a politician whose attributes and achievements in westminster amount little. William amount to very little. William wragg is the man whos been held responsible setting responsible for setting this. Hes also deputy chairman. Well, he stood down last night. Oh he did. Thats right. He did. Yes. Right. Right. So i mean, look, i think this is a really interesting topic to talk and i do think the talk about. And i do think the press speaking enough talk about. And i do think the press it. Speaking enough talk about. And i do think the press it. So speaking enough talk about. And i do think the press it. So im speaking enough talk about. And i do think the press it. So im reallying enough about it. So im really pleased we are because there is there has of scandal, and has been a lot of scandal, and it tory it always seems to be the tory government and government coming out and backing and backing them or backing and backing them or backing quite backing these mps. And quite frankly, whole honey frankly, this, this whole honey trap scandal as its being called to have jeremy hunt come out and say, oh, i think hes very brave. I mean , lets not very brave. I mean, lets not remember. Lets just remember william was not the William Wragg was not the whistleblower. It was actually luke mp, who was the luke evans mp, who was the whistleblower. So theyre protecting a that that protecting a man that that really was sitting on his laurels while this was all unfolding. Unfolding. Nadine dorries Nadine Dorries has been good about this today. Shes just texted as shes watching the program. Good morning shes saying morning nadine. And shes saying this is to keep this rag story is going to keep unfolding. On her ex account unfolding. And on her ex account today, shes saying wragg was no stranger to setting career ending honey traps. As i detail in her tweet, she says the big spender at westminster always throwing parties, buying large , throwing parties, buying large, expensive runs. Whats the real reason . Number 10. Protecting him. Yeah. Well this is a good a good point. And i think what nadine is saying is that, i mean, this is a guy, by the way, who told boris to stand down due to, know, not with upholding to, you know, not with upholding parliamentarypincher to, you know, not with upholding parliamentary pincher groping and chris pincher groping allegations and all of that. Exactly. Partygate. I think. Yeah. Nadine is basically saying that that look , this is a this that that look, this is a this is this theres more theres more to come here. You havent seen you havent seen the bottom of the barrel. Its going and i think its going further food chain. I further up the food chain. I think issue. And think thats the issue. And i think thats the issue. And i think trying blanket think thats the issue. And i thany trying blanket think thats the issue. And i thany further,rying blanket think thats the issue. And i th any further, flames. Blanket think thats the issue. And i th any further, flames. Theyre it any further, flames. Theyre trying blanket over it, trying to put a blanket over it, you can read all the juicy details nadines column in details in nadines column in the mail today, page 17 on that one. Clara was talking to an mp, this week, and quite adept. And he was. We were just talking socially about being an mp and staying while they read bills. And basically the only bills. And basically the only thing that you have to do in the house, you could you could be at home talking about working from home, work at home, home, you could work at home, they read bills, they could read these bills, they could read these bills, they vote with press they could vote with press a button for no, no, no, no. They could, dont. Right. Could, but they dont. Right. And so old and he says, its so old boy, you know, its about its anti woman. Its very pro man. Anti woman. Its very pro man. And basically all there is to do throughout your day is to drink. So people drink . No, they drink a lot and then they make mistakes. Discounted alcohol as well. Discounted alcohol as well. Discounted alcohol as well. Yeah. Yeah. Discounted alcohol subsidised. And they get involved in affairs they get. And staying away from home, same sex affairs, all that sort of thing. Theyre away from home, all sorts of things. Its a cauldron for disaster. Yeah. Being being an mp, it is. And its an absolute and diabolical position to be in. There are no mps. I dont think now that would actually represent the true roots of where they are a constituent mp for. I think you should do away with career politicians. I dont with career politicians. I dont like the senior members of any party flying in. The best candidate to win a safe seat , party flying in. The best candidate to win a safe seat, or turn another seat because they are charismatic , because theyre are charismatic, because theyre the big gun. I think mps should live and work in the constituents that they, the constituency that they want to represent, and do that for at least a minimum of five years before they even stand. They need to know that when theyre when theyre a member of parliament, when theyre sitting in parliament, when they are drawing up bills, when theyre going to vote on bills, they should be voting for the people that elected them in their constituency. Constituency. Your political heroes are. But i mean, if you look at a lot of the big successful politicians in recent years, most of them have struggled to get time. When get seats for a long time.

Labour has pledged to crack down on tax dodgers in a bid to fund their pledges for the nhs. Earlier we spoke to shadow financial secretary james murray on gb news. People right across britain are paying more and more tax. We think its wrong that a minority are getting away without paying what they owe. What they owe.

Theres wet and windy weather on the way for many today with rain and Wind Warnings in force. Find out all the details of me a little later. On. And lets bring you more on that bradford murder story. That bradford murder story. Court documents have revealed that the murder suspect in the fatal stabbing was out on bail after making threats to assault and kill the woman who was attacked. The man police are looking for is 25 year old Habiba Masood, a Bangladeshi National who came to britain, like so many do on a student visa. Anna riley with more. Good morning. Anna good morning. Yes, its now four days into the manhunt for the prime suspect, Habiba Masood, 25 year old Bangladeshi National. As you say, that came to the uk on a student visa. He is accused and police are trying to find him after a woman, 27 year old kazima akhtar , was year old kazima akhtar, was murdered in broad daylight on saturday afternoon near Bradford City centre. As youve mentioned , Court Documents show that the prime suspect , Court Documents show that the prime suspect, masum, was out on bail. He was bailed by a magistrate in manchester on november the 27th after making threats to kill the woman, who sadly died and also assaulting her. Sadly died and also assaulting hen he sadly died and also assaulting her. He denied those charges and pleaded not guilty, but he was released on bail. But that was something that prosecutors disagreed with at the time. So thats the latest information thats the latest information that we have on this case. Yesterday here in bradford at the building behind me, West Yorkshire police held a press conference in which they gave the latest updates. They said that a 23 year old man had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. That was following raids in oldham, burnley and chester, where masum is known to have links. They also said that the last sighting of him was at 342 in the afternoon on saturday, getting off a bus in bradford and heading to a local park. That was the last sighting they had of him and theyve said that they are appealing for people with cctv footage, dash cam footage and in particular taxi drivers who may have given him a lift to come forward. He may be armed. Police are saying dont approach him, but contact them on 999 if there is a sighting. Lovely. Thank you very much lovely. Thank you very much indeed, anna. And were going to bnngin indeed, anna. And were going to bring in now, who are we bringing in . Weve got Oliver Lawrence oliver laurence, host of protect and serve podcast. Former Police Officer yourself, oliver, what do you make of the way things are going and the fact that, you know, the image of habib masum is , is out there of habib masum is, is out there for everybody to see. And indeed, you can see his, his videocasts online. You can indeed. Good morning eamonn. Good morning isabel. And this has got all the traits of the recent case we had down in clapham with who was clapham with mr ezedi, who was on the run for several days before being determined have before being determined to have fallen thames. So lets fallen into the thames. So lets hope police will moving hope the police will be moving at pace here to obviously at rapid pace here to obviously to gather up all the evidence they can in trying they possibly can in trying to identify last of mr identify the last steps of mr masum prior to evading them. Obviously, is made obviously, that job is made incredibly , much more difficult incredibly, much more difficult when it would appear members of the community or his associates are assisting him evading are assisting him in evading police, going to make police, which is going to make things a little bit more complicated. But lets hope that these people are held accountable supporting accountable for supporting him in actions in the coming in his actions in the coming days and weeks, oliver, there are questions , though, to be are questions, though, to be asked how was able to asked about how he was able to be out and about, threatening this woman given that he had been released on bail, accused of having threatened her with with assaults, and also with death. The Greater Manchester police have referred themselves to the watchdog over all of this, but there will also be questions about how he has entered the uk , how hes been entered the uk, how hes been able to stay here. It seems as though, as you say, comparisons being made with abdul ezedi and a lot of people very frustrated that folks like this are in our country. Country. Isabel, these incidents leave us asking more questions than they answer and lets, you they do answer and lets, you know, every three days, statistically, we lose female statistically, we lose a female in country to an act of in this country to an act of violence at the hands of a former male partner or current partner. They are horrifying statistics, of which none of us should be proud of, and we should be proud of, and we should be proud of, and we should be doing everything we can to bring that to the attention of the government, quite rightly , people are asking quite rightly, people are asking serious questions who this serious questions as to who this individual he get individual is. How did he get into country . What were the into the country . What were the vetting he went vetting levels that he went through . Ultimately we sit through . And ultimately we sit here to make sense here today trying to make sense of of sense of this of this sense of sense of this all, lets look at the all, but lets look at the criminal Justice System, we have to say has potentially failed this lady left a child this poor lady and left a child without mother, an individual without a mother, an individual who committed an act of an who has committed an act of an assault and threatened to kill this now in this woman is now wanted in connection with that same females i dont know females murder. I dont know what has happen in what more has to happen in society our government and society for our government and our criminal justice and our criminal Justice System and our criminal Justice System and our services, our policing services, to realise how significant an issue this our society. This is in our society. Incredibly sad. And although incredibly sad. And although the unharmed the the child was unharmed in the pram, now without a mother and you know, its unclear who the father is , but yeah, if it is father is, but yeah, it if it is this individual , you know, this individual, you know, theyre likely to be behind bars. Yeah. Terrible, terrible, terrible situation. Yeah. But thank you oliver. Thanks for your for your take on things. Really appreciate it, to politics now, the shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves today, shell speak. Shell announce a new crackdown on tax tax dodgers. On tax dodging tax dodgers. Basically, were talking about non doms here. And were also talking about, Big Companies which set up businesses in the country but dont pay the proportionate amount of tax. And all of this. And the idea is hit these people and then as they will say, help fund the nhs. Well, lets get the thoughts of our Political Correspondent Katherine Forster, who joins us from westminster. Good morning to you, catherine, no coincidence that the tories stole her non dom policy and shes had to come up with another plan to plug these pledges that shes made. Will this work . Because the tories have said theyve tried 200 measures to claw back tax that is owed. Its not as simple as that. Yes. Its very easy to say , yes. Its very easy to say, isnt it, that well crack down on tax avoidance and evasion. And in fact , its the sort of and in fact, its the sort of thing that incoming governments do tend to promise. But it is, as you say, much, much easier said than done. Thats something that Paul Johnston of the institute from fiscal of fiscal studies has been saying. Its very easy to throw these numbers out there. But the truth is, they dont know how much it will raise , but at least theyre raise, but at least theyre trying. So theres a couple of things going on here. First of all, theyre spending an additional, think, 550 million additional, i think, 550 million to on, several hundred to hmrc on, several hundred thousand compliance officers, with a view to cracking down on tax dodging. Effectively, theyre saying that they hope that that will bring in an extra 5 billion a year by the end of the next parliament. And then attached to that, they are also cracking down on non doms. Now, cracking down on non doms. Now, as you mentioned, that was a plan that theyve had for a long time to abolish non dom status. Jeremy hunt, the chancellor, came along and nicked that just a few weeks ago. But labour are still saying that the conservatives plan still has loopholes that can save people huge amounts of money in the next year, or two, and they are going to come down hard on those. They say that will bring in another 2 billion or so. Now the money they say that theyre going to save, some of that money is earmarked for free breakfast clubs. Some of it is breakfast clubs. Some of it is earmarked for, more gp appointments, some of it is just to be kept back for, for other things. But i think worth noting that whoever is in power after the next general election , there the next general election, there is not a lot of money around National Debt is huge. Weve been on massive spending sprees, war in ukraine, covid funding , war in ukraine, covid funding, Peoples Energy bills. So there are going to be very, very difficult decisions for the next government around tax and spending, no matter who is in power. Power. Okay, catherine, thanks very much indeed, other news, lets bnng much indeed, other news, lets bring you up to date with whats happening in the time 8 10, the post Office Horizon Public Inquiry resumes today.

Leslie, the to. Thats us again. Leslie, the thing that irritates me more than anything is how blase the whole establishment is towards immigration in general, whether illegal or legal. So, leslie, your point is that were not taking it seriously enough. And |, taking it seriously enough. And i, i tend to agree with you. I think, i think people who have had very reasonable arguments about migration and ilLegal Immigration and say, well, you cant do this or that to people. Theyre not really looking at the figures. And if youre looking at 4 or 5000 per week and arriving in the country and all the people that have arrived so far, however sad their story is, however awful things are, its really, really got to the point of no return. Well, you know, the figures arent quite that at the arent quite like that at the weekends, but certainly it is the its the students legally coming country that coming into this country that make the majority of make up the majority of immigration figures, Legal Immigration figures, Legal Immigration we immigration figures. But do we really get to grips with that . And, you know, here we are with habiba masoom on the run, one of these people that has come into these people that has come into the through that legal the country through that legal route. Do we need to look at all of that . E e yours is that let us know. Yours is that being blase about the whole thing, illegal people thing, whether, illegal people entering whether entering the country or whether illegal people entering the country . What is the answer to this . Somebody somewhere is going to have to stand up and say, no more. Im sorry.

We havent got the budgets, we havent got the budgets, we havent the money, havent got the money, we havent. Cant after our havent. We cant look after our own i think its amazing own people. I think its amazing in we just in this country that we just cant after homeless cant look after homeless people. Absolutely pathetic. Incredible cant. What incredible that we cant. What happened Prince William and happened to Prince William and all this talk that he was suddenly going to end homelessness that . Homelessness on that . Hes still announcing.

I think hes gone. I think hes gone very, very quiet on this. And he, in and distracted, hasnt he, in recent and distracted, hasnt he, in rec but. But. All right. Well nothings being about it. Thats being done about it. Thats basically just my basically it. I just have my say. I think i agree with lesley. People get blase. Everybody headline and everybody grab a headline and then nothing seems to be done about things. I mean, my about things. I mean, my frustration if i a frustration if i was a politician would be if i said it a minute. If i said it, do it.

Well, it is the anniversary his death the anniversary of his death today, years today, today, three years ago today, after break, well be after the break, well be looking on looking back on 2024 a battleground year. 2024 a battleground year. The year. The nation decides. The year. The nation decides. As the parties gear up their campaigns for the next general election. Who will be left standing when the british people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives . Who will rise and who will fall . Lets find out together for every moment. The highs, the lows, the twists and turns. Well be with you for every step of this journey in 2024. Gb news is britains election. Channel. Today, three years since the death of Prince Philip, he was 99 years of age. He died at Windsor Castle and he was the longest serving royal consort in history. Well, joining us now to talk about his life and legacy is the editor in chief of majesty magazine and the royal biographer, Ingrid Seward. Good morning to you. Lovely to have you the program. Its still you on the program. Its still turns me cold remembering that moment that i found out operation bridge was operation forth bridge was coming into play. That was to say that all the plans that the broadcasters and indeed the Civil Servants and the royal family all the courtiers had family and all the courtiers had in place was being enacted in place was was being enacted because philip had died because Prince Philip had died and it was the first, you know, major royal death that we had had in an incredibly long time. Do you remember where you were when you heard the news three years ago today . I was actually in the market in henley on thames buying some, buying some apples. So not not buying some apples. So not not in a very dramatic place. But i do remember the funeral very, very well, i think i think we all do because it was so poignant and it was, i think it was the queen followed her governments covid restrictions. So it was very, very pared down and also just to let eamonn know he was lord high admiral Prince Philip. There we go. Thank you. Yeah, very senior title, isnt it, lord high admiral. And he could and he could have gone all the way with his, with his naval career. But but he put that to one side, didnt he. Well, he had to when, the queens father became really ill and he was, he was, on service in malta. And he realised then in malta. And he realised then that his naval days were going to be over and that he really had to, you know, had to do what, what he was destined to do, which was support his wife, the queen, as monarch. Ingrid, tell me about i mean, we talked about his military career there. So he was used to giving and taking orders there. And did he take orders in the Royal Household or did he make the orders . Well, what happened was philip started to make the orders because he saw that the household was run in a very inefficient way, and he was extremely efficient man. And he wanted things to run really smoothly. So, he became a little bit unpopular because he started making quite sweeping changes within the Royal Household to make it more, more efficient. And it wasnt always popular with with the sort of Old Established members of, of the staff that were there. Staff that were there. Great love story between the pair, though, and certainly the Queen Elizabeth ii was was madly in love with him, and i suppose what they had in common, apart from sort of both being aristocratic and royal, was a love of the country, a shared love of the country, a shared love of the country, a shared love of the country. Love of the country. I think they what they really had in common was this amazing sense of duty. And philip always said, you know, my duty is to support my wife as monarch. And thats the position he never wavered from whatever else he did. He was always supporting his wife, the queen and i. And i think that really big sense of duty was what held them both together over the years. Apart from the other obvious things like his sense of humour, his loyalty, and his ability just to get on with life and get and make things happen. He made things happen. Yeah, he he was. Ive been saying this morning in in my opinion, he was very much the enforcer, you know, he was the sheriff in town. He made the sheriff in town. He made the rules and people would come to him for advice. And im sure he would tell them what to do in no small way. How would you see would tell them what to do in no small way. How would you see his role in the general Family Circle . Circle . Well, in the Family Circle, he was, in a way, i suppose he was a bit of a house husband, although he would loathe that expression because the queen was was, you know, her. When her father died suddenly in 1952, she was propelled into a position that she hadnt expected for at least another ten years. So philip had to take over the running of the household. The running of the family, he made the decisions. She 100 agreed with him. And then he got on with it to make of his relationship or how he viewed meghan markle. Well, i viewed meghan markle. Well, i think Prince Philip was very canny about people, and he didnt always see bad in them. He tried to see good in them. But i think he just couldnt get away from the fact of the similarities between, meghan and harry and, edward and mrs. Simpson. If you like. There are so many similarities there, which is why he used to call her, the duchess of windsor. I mean, not to have face, obviously. We used to call her door d o w what about the relationship . That was sometimes fraught, especially in the early years with our now king . What do you think, Prince Philip, given what you of and youve you know of him and youve written books about him, would you know of him and youve writte about,; about him, would you know of him and youve writte about, king jt him, would you know of him and youve writte about, King Charless uld you know of him and youve writte about, King Charless reign make about, King Charless reign so i suppose the so far. And i suppose the challenges the royal family challenges that the royal family are facing. Do think he are now facing. Do you think he would with this slimmed would agree with this slimmed down , given, you know, down monarchy, given, you know, the and apparent frailty the health and apparent frailty at the moment . Think would totally i think he would totally agree with the slimmed down monarchy, and i think he would be very, very proud of his son. He wasnt always proud of his son. I mean, he was a very tough father and they didnt get along in the in the early years. Obviously they did later, but i think he would be really proud of the way that that charles has sort of immediately implemented what he said he was going to do. He said he wanted a slimmed down monarchy, and thats what hes organised. What hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it;ed. What hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it isi. What hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it is a what hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it is a little what hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it is a little bit,at hes now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it is a little bit, to 1es now monarchy, and thats what hes orga it is a little bit, to slim|ow got. It is a little bit, to slim down at the moment, perhaps, but hes coping. He just doesnt want burden of too many want the burden of too many royals upon the british taxpayer. Well, well remember him with fondness today. On this april the 9th, the third anniversary of his passing. Ingrid. Thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts and your opinions with us today. Thank you. Thank you. Stay with us. Lots more coming your way. Claire muldoon and Alex Armstrong on fire this armstrong have been on fire this morning. Weve really enjoyed going gb news is the home of free speech. We were created to champion it, and we deliver it day in, day out. Free speech day in, day out. Free speech allows us all to explore and debate openly the issues most important to us, our families. And of course, the british people challenging people having challenging conversations each conversations to enlighten each other. Other. Which why we hear all which is why we hear all sides of argument. We are sides of the argument. We are the peoples channel. We will always stand by the freedom to express yourself on tv, radio and online. This is gb news, britains news channel. News channel. Now, one thing i know is that a lot of you watch us and listen to us on the radio from around the world, various places around the world, various places around the world, various places around the world as far away as australia and new zealand, whatever as and weve got whatever as well. And weve got a audience on satellite in a big audience on satellite in europe Alex Armstrong , europe as well, Alex Armstrong, the political commentator, and Claire Muldoon, the superb commentator on anything and everything, journalist, broadcaster, unbelievable raconteur. Raconteur. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. But claire, would your dream be to buy a house in spain or to move in spain . Because theres a scheme there, a golden visa scheme, tell us what it was and whats happened to it. Right. So in answer to your question, no, but rather be able to buy a property in this country before even thinking about buying a Second Property anywhere else. Okay. But spain has put an end now to the golden visa that triggered a property boom in spain. Were talking all over spain, but necessarily the Costa Del Sol , and all down the Costa Del Sol, and all down the lower, eastern part of spain, where people in this country thought for their retirement, they would love to go spend the retirement over there. Theyve worked really, really hard. Theyve somewhere. Lets theyve bought somewhere. Lets go it. Perfect climate, go and do it. Perfect climate, perfect Everything Else. And now spain has now said, well, were actually withdrawing these visas. So thats basically making people having to sell up. But that what they the knock on effect for that is i think people in spain will be able to afford houses now. Afford houses now. Yes. I see what youre saying here. Its like living in a houday here. Its like living in a holiday town or Something Like that. But like hastings or cornwall or someone to sell up, theyve already got their property. Can they not stay there . Can they not stay there . Well, they can, but today, 94 out of every hundred visas of this nature are linked to property investments. Concentrated thats concentrated in large cities. So what its saying as cities. So what its saying as well is the culture minister, the spokesman for radical the spokesman for the radical left party now in Left Wing Party thats now in residency. Last year, the year up on november the 8th, the visas enabled the purchase of 635 worth more than half 635 homes worth more than half ,1 million. So the decision would let the government fight speculative investment. You know , i cant be yes. You know, i cant be a hypocrite on this because i say to people , lots of people coming to people, lots of people coming here to uk that theyre here to the uk that theyre pushing up house prices this pushing up house prices in this country and making it impossible for buy home. Im for me to buy a home. Im a young 30 year old man. I will struggle to purchase a in struggle to purchase a home in london, of have to london, so i kind of have to sympathise the spanish, on sympathise with the spanish, on this one, because at the end of the day, they need to prioritise their if our own the day, they need to prioritise their cant if our own the day, they need to prioritise their cant buy if our own the day, they need to prioritise their cant buy homesur own the day, they need to prioritise their cant buy homes because people cant buy homes because wealthy people wealthy british people are coming here do have coming here and we do have bigger salaries and spanish people, the people, i understand the priorities ation, of doing that. Well, brits have a well, the brits have given a huge the spanish economy. Thats very true. And all that investment not just in tourism, people going tourism, but by people going over spend hard over there to spend their hard earned cash. This pushes them away. Think it just its away. And i think it just its sort little bit left wing sort of a little bit left wing politics envy here. Politics of envy here. And i dont think its of envy because the decision would actually spanish people actually enable spanish people to because there to buy properties because there were initially speculative investments by russians , chinese investments by russians, chinese and brits. Theres already i mean, its so complex because , you know, so complex because, you know, theres huge unemployment in spain. Theyre not suddenly going magically have enough going to magically have enough cash buy properties just cash to buy properties just because have and cash to buy properties just bthinke have and cash to buy properties just bthink its have and cash to buy properties just bthink its a have and cash to buy properties just bthink its a shameive and cash to buy properties just bthink its a shame to and cash to buy properties just bthink its a shame to be and i think its a shame to be pushing well , also, i look at pushing well, also, i look at your situation and because theres so much foreign investment, china now, particularly, people buying apartments in london, impossible. I would look at the situation and say, i mean, unless youve got a minimum of 500 or £600,000, what got a minimum of 500 or £600,000, what the hell do you do in london . You know, im a born and bred londoner. I was raised in harrow in north west london. My grandma, she bought her house for £11,000 in harrow and kenton. That house is worth about close to a million. Thats an incredible. Its crazy to an incredible. Its crazy to think that id even be able to buy a house in my hometown is impossible me, and its impossible for me, and its impossible for me, and its impossible the foreseeable impossible for the foreseeable future. Think a really future. I think thats a really sad state that weve got to, and i do sympathise with i do. I do sympathise with countries trying to reverse that. I understand exactly that. And i understand exactly what put what youre saying. Weve put a lot that economy, and there lot into that economy, and there will are made up will be towns that are made up of brits that will suffer severely because theyll have a mass exodus of people. El sol. I sympathise with well. Sympathise with them as well. Furious this . Furious about this . Furious about this . Yeah, i do get that. Yeah, i do get that. Its impossible now for brits to europe, really in, in to be in europe, really in, in whether its second or whether its second homes or tirement let me tirement property. Yeah, let me ask what did you make of or ask you, what did you make of or what did you see . I mean, you wont have seen it, but you you will have heard about it. And you watch pictures on our program on those of the program on those pictures of the moon there. If you can, moon eclipse there. If you can, so, so, alex, what did you make of the interest in it . Oh, i think it was a fascinating series of events that led up to the eclipse. Actually but first of all, ill say that its beautiful. What a thing to witness, very, very rare. And just to give the audience some perspective on this, dinosaurs never would this, the dinosaurs never would have an eclipse. The moon is have had an eclipse. The moon is now at a position between the earth and the sun, where its just lifetimes, in human just in our lifetimes, in human existence, this will existence, where this will happen wont the moon happen and it wont as the moon moves further away from the earth. Happen in few earth. Ever happen in a few hundred thousand years time . Well that again. But well never get that again. But the interesting about all the interesting thing about all of the massive amount of this was the massive amount of this was the massive amount of crazy conspiracies that in america came out of it, america that came out of it, people saying was the end of people saying it was the end of the world, that this running the world, that this was running along equator that was along this big, equator that was going. And, and going to blow up. And, and people were predicting the end of the world believing the conspiracy, hundreds of thousands people. Thousands of people. I mean, dont know, we i mean, i dont know, we havent played the sound of some of where people of these events where people were it like, of these events where people werthing it like, of these events where people werthing about it like, of these events where people werthing about americansze, of these events where people werthing about americans is the thing about americans is they hoop, dont they . They love a hoop, dont they . Yeah and you know, what i think is awesome about an eclipse is how falls silent. How everything falls silent. Yeah. Yeah. Actually cant hear the they actually cant hear the silence going, silence because theyre going, oh crying. I mean, oh my god. And crying. I mean, the hysteria over an eclipse. Its not very british, was it . Its not very british, was it . Its not very british, was it . It wasnt like that in cornwall. No. When i watched the eclipse. No. Yeah, yeah. Much more no. Yeah, yeah. Much more peaceful in our country for sure. But beautiful event. Beautiful. And the one in beautiful. And the next one in the will be in 2090. So if the uk will be in 2090. So if you are you many of us wont be alive to see, including myself. If might alive, i will be if you might be alive, i will be pushing be it pushing it. Ill be pushing it about pushing hundreds. But about pushing my hundreds. But there okay claire, what there we go. Okay claire, what do you want to talk about . Right. Right. So we go to. So we go to. Well have one more serious one. Think.

So, scrabble, is now going to be made more inclusive. Oh, for Goodness Sake. I know, i oh, for Goodness Sake. I know, i know, everyone at home is thinking a purist when it comes to scrabble. I know its a bit bonkers. So what theyre doing is theyre printing a new version of scrabble on the back of the existing version to dumb it people who dont it down for people who dont know much about the know very much about the dictionary, which i think is you can make up words, i think can just make up words, i think also, goodness yeah, yeah. Also, Goodness Sake. Yeah, yeah. So saying be more so theyre saying be more inclusive intimidating. Inclusive and less intimidating. Im for goodness im like, well, for Goodness Sake , if cant even speak sake, if you cant even speak engush sake, if you cant even speak english write it, then what english or write it, then what are doing scrabble are you doing playing scrabble in place .

So mary beard, of course, is the wonderful bbc historian who has amazing work for has done amazing work for getting to kids. Shes getting history to kids. Shes a great, great teacher lecturer. She knows her stuff inside out. And she, of course, was lambasted when she arrived to pick up a bafta in almost like jeans and a leather jacket, and jeans and a leatherjacket, and her hair was forlorn and she didnt have much makeup on, but she took that on the chin. She she took that on the chin. She went, im not a model. I am not a superstar. I am a working historian. This is how i dress. This is how i present. Kudos to you. Fair enough. Doff cap. And you. Fair enough. Doff cap. And now she wants to. She would love to be a garrick member. And im thinking theres part of me that thinks why, why and other. The other part is are you doing that just to be the Agent Provocateur . Because everyone knows it is a mans club. But why would you want to , you know, why would you want to, you know, go into that environment . And part of me said, leave them to it. I mean, unless there are being done that women are deals being done that women dont to and dont have access to and whatever there. I mean, my whatever there. But i mean, my experience these, these mens experience of these, these mens clubs, whatever are, you know, you a chair that rocks you get on a chair that rocks about a bit the table thats not straight. Its an old fashioned. Its an old fashioned. Well, its like freemasonry, isnt its a mans. Its isnt it . Its a mans. Its a mans thing. Traditionally there are versions are women versions of freemasonry, but you know, if you want join us like you want to have join us like the garrick club just one up the garrick club just set one up for women. I dont see what the point exactly. For women. I dont see what the poiiwell, ctly. For women. I dont see what the poiiwell, there you go. Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah. My who married me. My priest who married me. Uhhuh. Hes a member of the savile club. Because a lot of priests discounted priests get discounted membership, priests get discounted membersiits a mens only regularly. Its a mens only club, but its a lovely environment. You go along, you see of politicians. So how see lots of politicians. So how can you if its a mens . Can he take you if its a mens . Women are allowed in as guests. You just cant be a member, so the chaps will outside the chaps will sit outside smoking cigars. But you know, as long you dress up look long as you dress up and look the a lovely. The part, you can have a lovely. Its just. Dont see anything wrong i dont see anything wrong with that. Really dont. And with that. I really dont. And i quite men being able to quite like men being able to discuss issues by themselves. I see a lot heres something i see a lot right to a fine for missing a doctors appointment. Alex, this is france. Much are is in in france. How much are they to . Fine. Yes. Patients. So theyre going to be fining patients ,5 per missed appointment. And theyre doing patients ,5 per missed app i think so, but everyone who is got appointments in the is a got appointments in the nhs. You will when you nhs. You will see when you receive letter. Missed receive your letter. A missed appointment costs say £160 and thats there in black and white and i dont know if that works psychologically for people to think, oh gosh, i must make that. But the appointment system in the nhs is such that you get cancelled appointments, you then get other appointments, you miss the follow up because got the follow up because youve got a appointment. Whole a new appointment. The whole appointment of appointment system is a bit of a wash. If there was anything that i would agree with, this is actually it down a actually bringing it down a level making. If you miss level and making. If you miss a gp appointment because everyone knows because you knows when they are because you make them. True, i mean, i had yeah, true, i mean, i had a hospital trip last week with my son to the fracture clinic and i was so stressed we were going to miss this appointment because we couldnt get a parking space in the car park. The hospital car park. Round and round and we went round and round and round and round to the point i thought it was going to leave him go into the hospital on him to go into the hospital on his own, with his crutches, with his own, with his crutches, with his and eventually i his limp, and eventually i managed but, you managed to get a space. But, you know, half the stress know, thats half the stress with things missing with these things missing your appointments. It is circumstances outside your control. Okay, were to talk okay, were going to talk about yeah. About camels. Yeah. Lets on to camels. Story lets get on to camels. Story of the day. Lets get on to camels. Story of tstory y. Lets get on to camels. Story of tstory of the day. So could story of the day. So could camels replace cows in the climate so Climate Change struggle . So this is cow camels is an article that cow camels are better for the environment because they excuse my french. They break wind. Im not going to say excuse my french. They break wind a little bit less than cows do, but they also produce milk thats high in vitamin c and low in fat. No, thanks. So, camel milk. Do you guys fancy some camel milk in the morning . A camel milk cappuccino . Yeah. Go, please. Yeah. Not to go, please. Would ask you for yeah. They would ask you for that response that. How that in response to that. How would like that . One lump or would you like that . One lump or two . Coffee. Gladly. Nailed. Nailed it. Nailed it. I wouldnt like to milk a camel either. If youve ever written a camel, camel either. If youve ever written a camel , they are written a camel, they are a little bit feisty. I dont think weve got any camels in this country. Not many of them. Camels in this country. Not many of tzoo, zoo , no. The thing is, zoo, zoo, no. The thing is, i think isabel is right with the temperament, cows, by and large.

Assault and kill the same woman. Lets go down to riley. Lets go down to riley. Shell put in the picture shell put you in the picture with latest on her bear. With the latest on her bear. Masoom on this. Anna. Good morning. Good morning. Yes a truly shocking case. This manhunt. Continue news for habiba masoom after a 27 year old mother was stabbed in broad daylight in bradford on saturday afternoon. Bradford on saturday afternoon. Soon. The bradford on saturday afternoon. Soon. The victim has been named as khalil sama akhtar. And as you say, its emerged from Court Documents now that the victim in this murder case was known to masoom and that he was in fact out on bail after being accused of making threats to kill and assaulting her. He pleaded not guilty in in a magistrates in manchester on november the 27th. To these charges. He was given bail despite objections from prosecutors. To this, and as prosecutors. To this, and as part of his bail conditions, he was not to contact miss akhtar. Was not to contact miss akhtar. Now, as a result of Greater Manchester police and West Yorkshire police having contact with both the prime suspect, masoom and miss akhtar, before her tragic death, theyve referred themselves to the police watchdog, the iopc , more police watchdog, the iopc, more information that we got yesterday from police here in bradford in their West Yorkshire police headquarters. Behind me police headquarters. Behind me was that theyve arrested a 23 year old man in connection with assisting an offender that theyd conducted several raids across properties in oldham, burnley and chester , where masum burnley and chester, where masum is known to have links and theyve said that theyve been combing cctv. It has been four days now on the search, but the last confirmed sighting of masoom was at 342 after he got off a bus near the city centre. Off a bus near the city centre. He was seen approaching bradford moor park and after that theres been no sighting. So police are asking people that may have dashcam footage. Cctv footage in the area to come forward and theyre also appealing directly to taxi drivers as well. They believe he may have got into a taxi on saturday afternoon, paid in cash, and theyre asking for any taxi drivers that know of his description thats been out in the media now. Hes described as a slim man, an asian man, and we know as well to come forward. And if hes seen a pro , do not and if hes seen a pro, do not approach him because he may be armed. But to call 999. Okay, anna, thanks very much indeed. And the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves today will announce a new crackdown if shes elected on tax dodgers in a bid to help fund the nhs. Now, reeves hopes to raise over £5 billion per year by the end of the next parliament, which they would use to tackle nhs waiting lists and fund Free School Breakfast clubs for every Primary School pupil. Okay, lets get the thoughts of our Political Correspondent Katherine Forster on this one. Catherine. Good morning. Us catherine. Good morning. Tell us more. More. Yes. Good morning, eamonn and isabel. Yes. Good morning, eamonn and isabel. Well i think this will isabel. Well i think this will appeal to most of the people around the country. You, me, gb news viewers have no choice but to pay our taxes and to pay the taxes that we owe. But that sometimes isnt the case because tax evasion , which is illegal, tax evasion, which is illegal, tax evasion, which is illegal, tax avoidance, which is legal, theres plenty of people and plenty of companies that simply get away with paying a lot more than they should. So the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves, saying today theyre going to spend an extra £550 million if they get elected , of course, and they get elected, of course, and given to the hmrc to hire thousands of compliance officers to help crack down on tax dodging. They estimate that will bnngin dodging. They estimate that will bring in another £5 billion a yean bring in another £5 billion a year, by the end of the next parliament. And linked to that, theyre also planning to clamp clamp down on the non dom status, which of course, was originally , labour pledge that originally, labour pledge that the conservatives have come along and pinched. But labour are still saying that there are loopholes in that system and they reckon they can get back another 2 billion or so through having stricter rules on that, so all of this i think, will sound very appealing, the money that they say theyre going to save, going to fund free breakfast clubs for children in schools, more nhs appointments, some they think will be in reserve. But the problem is, of course, that this is all very much easier said than done. Its the sort of thing that governments tend to say theyre going to do , and the reality is going to do, and the reality is that it going to do, and the reality is thatitis going to do, and the reality is that it is not that easy. Although the National Audit office, i think its worth saying they have said they think there are £6 billion a year that could realistically be recovered. And lets face it, whoever gets into power after the next election, money is in very, very short supply. So if and it is a big if, they can claw back some of that money. I think that will be welcomed by many people. Thank you catherine. Appreciate it. Andrew pierce from 9 30, this morning. Andrew, whats going to be top of your agenda today . Well, obviously in bradford for this shocking twist in the murder that this, young man had been on bail for threatened to kill. So thats terrible. But kill. So thats terrible. But also, were going to be looking at labours tax pledge. What timing, isnt it . Rachel reeves announcing a big thing on tax avoidance. When Angela Rayner is still struggling to answer questions or rather, isnt answering questions on whether she did or she didnt pay Capital Gains tax a few years ago. But you know, listen, look, im just playing devils advocate for you. I dont know and i dont care. And how much could she have . How much i understand the principle behind it, but how much if she was to gain how much . I would just like to know. Has she gained £1,000, £10,000, £100,000, 1500, £1,500 . Yeah who cares the principle. Shes going to be in government, Prime Minister. Shes going to be deputy Prime Minister. And whether its 5 million or 5000, youve to pay taxes. Youve got to pay your taxes. The real point here, eamonn isnt even whether she should or shouldnt she has she shouldnt is she been has she been lying since this story broke . What my point. If broke . Thats what my point. If i was her position, id have i was in her position, id have said, think i might have said, i think i might have a problem here. Pay it all over. Id put it to you. I put it to you that the system is so complicated for anybody. Just even buying and selling house. Whatever selling a house. Whatever she agreed, eamonn agreed, which is why eamonn people understood and people would have understood and said, understand said, oh, she didnt understand it. I thinki said, oh, she didnt understand it. I think i would have. I dont think i would have. So she should have coughed up right the beginning. Six right at the beginning. Six weeks, with weeks, shes had to deal with this. Its going to go away. This. Its not going to go away. And people think, whats the worst to happen . Worst thats going to happen . Worst . So theyre whats the worst . So theyre elected right . Elected into government, right . Whats to whats the worst going to happen . She going to pay happen . Is she going to pay a penalty for this . Whats going to happen . No, i suppose time no, i suppose every time she tries about people tries to go on about people avoiding finances, avoiding budgets and finances, she the legal advice.

Last well. The stars, right . Last night, it was the london premiere of an Amy Winehouse biopic. Its called back in black and amazing to think its like yesterday, but its 13 years since her death. Well, lets talk about this with showbiz journalist, friend of the program, Ellie Phillips, who joins us this morning, complete with her beautiful bump. You. Gosh, bump. Good morning to you. Gosh, Amy Winehouse, what kind of biopic . Its not going to be an easy watch. Is it . Because the her decline was really sad to be honest. Yeah. So this biopic has actually got the full backing of her family. So dads her family. So her dads completely supported he was completely supported it. He was there on the red there last night on the red carpet well, even before carpet as well, but even before it released, it was released it was released, it was released on friday. Even before, as it was made , her friends was being made, her friends said, understand this said, dont understand why this needs its exploiting needs to happen. Its exploiting what through. Her what she went through. Her trauma, tragedy , is it just, trauma, her tragedy, is it just, you know, capitalising off of what she went through, which is really tragic. And also their fear is that it focuses a lot on kind of the dark elements of what she went through. The ghouush what she went through. The ghoulish scenes you know, ghoulish scenes of, you know, when or had a drug when she overdosed or had a Drug Overdose in 2008. And said overdose in 2008. And they said that those moments , that those darkest moments, which see in the film, which you do see in the film, are not she is. And thats are not who she is. And thats not they remember. And its not how they remember. And its not, know, picture of not, you know, a full picture of who is as a person. And it who she is as a person. And it stars marisa abela, who is amazing. If youve seen a program called industry, shes in that as acting, shes in that and she as acting, shes phenomenal. And criticism has come back on her vocals because she does sing in it. They havent used amys vocals. And people are like, you could have just used vocals. Theyre just used amys vocals. Theyre so to replicate, and so hard to replicate, and marissa isnt first. Have you seen. Ive seen bits of it. Ive not seen all of it. I was meant to go last night, but why do you think she replicates . How do you think so . How do you think so . What ive seen, i think, from what ive seen, i think, as as an individual, the as a as an individual, the mannerisms and who she is a person. Great. But even from the trailer, vocals didnt seem trailer, the vocals didnt seem the when you have the strongest. And when you have people the industry like ray people in the industry like ray and like that, they can and things like that, they can do it is such do that. And i think it is such a skill and a talent to be able to and sing, be as good as to act and sing, be as good as amy white, to be that good, because its a very specific voice as well. You know, be voice as well. You know, itd be like to do adele like someone trying to do adele like someone trying to do adele like a very sound like its a very known sound i think of, im thinking, was it the elvis movie with Austin Austin butler, name . The elvis movie with austin ausaustin ler, name . The elvis movie with austin ausaustin ler, and1e . The elvis movie with austin ausaustin ler, and he was austin butler, and he was absolutely and absolutely nailed it. And then you had queen one, and you you had the queen one, and you had the elton john one. You can do you can. And actually, do it. You can. And actually, sometimes think singing sometimes i think the singing voice is almost more important than acting for these big than the acting for these big singers. Amy singers. Yeah i saw Amy Winehouse at isle of wight winehouse at the isle of Wight Festival well, festival when she was. Well, actually, was there actually, i think she was there two years in a row, or for somehow i her two years in a somehow i saw her two years in a row year. She was row and one year. She was sensational. Yeah. And were sensational. Yeah. And we were all her every step of the all with her every step of the way. The second year way. And the second year everyone each everyone was looking at each other. She clearly drunk. Other. She was clearly drunk. Yeah. It was, it was really, really shocking. Quite difficult to watch. It was difficult to watch. I think will be a difficult think this will be a difficult watch. Suppose, you know, watch. But i suppose, you know, talking whether or not talking about whether or not its to portray her in the its fair to portray her in the true of true light. I mean, lots of films made like this. Im films are made like this. Im thinking of the one about edith piaf, really troubled as well. And i think the thing is, with a lot of these musicians, she was one of the famous, artists who died aged you artists who died aged 27, you know, passed away. Know, when she passed away. And the about journey the thing is about their journey is their rise to fame and is that their rise to fame and what they go is never what they go through is never usually its usually you usually easy. Its usually you know, difficult. So is know, really difficult. So it is important show that. Important to show that. And i think does have familys think it does have her familys backing, doesnt have her backing, it doesnt have her friends necessarily, but backing, it doesnt have her f|think necessarily, but backing, it doesnt have her f|think her necessarily, but backing, it doesnt have her f|think her familyzcessarily, but backing, it doesnt have her f|think her family are sarily, but backing, it doesnt have her f|think her family are behind� ut i think her family are behind it. They marissa is it. They like it. Marissa is such a phenomenal actress. Its a shame she doesnt the a shame she doesnt have the vocals, are kind of vocals, but people are kind of saying feedback people saying the feedback from people whove thing is whove seen the entire thing is its as bad as you think. Its not as bad as you think. Yeah, in terms of the vocals, but overall im tempted to but the overall im tempted to watch and also, its watch that. Yeah. And also, its directed sam taylor johnson, directed by sam taylor johnson, who of grey. Who directed 50 shades of grey. She there last night with she was there last night with her husband, aaron taylor johnson, her husband, aaron taylctipped son, her husband, aaron taylctipped to 1, new bond hes tipped to be the new bond as they were there on as well. So they were there on the red carpet last night, adding a little bit of glitz and glam. Adding a little bit of glitz and gla thats theatrical release. Thats a theatrical release. Thats a theatrical release. It the yes, its out in is it the yes, its out in cinemas on friday. Back to black. Yeah. Right . Nice. So the lovely, right . Nice. So the spice youre talking about spice girls youre talking about maybe other, together maybe some other, get together reunion on the cards. Yeah. Basically last was so basically last month was 30 years, the 30 Year Anniversary of their first auditions, because obviously anniversary of their first auditare;, because obviously anniversary of their first auditare;, beoriginal viously they are the original manufactured you manufactured girl group, if you will. They were will. So last month they were very about it. And mel very excited about it. And mel b being b is now going around being mel b is now going around saying, of course were going to celebrate of were celebrate it. Of course were going to do something together. So that they will so shes teased that they will do this do some kind of reunion this yean put do some kind of reunion this year. Put out there that year. Shes put out there that potentially will at potentially it will happen at wembley, however, theres a big however spice , however here, posh spice, Victoria Beckham, the awkward one is like, no way , im not one is like, no way, im not doing it. But ive got to say, in 2019 when they did their big reunion, then, i went to see them at wembley and it was the best day. I will remember that best day. I will remember that day for the rest of my life, but all theyre doing is singing, you know . Sorry. Yeah, im sure it was the best day, but im saying its a its such a formula. All theyve got to is to sing theyve got to do is to sing their greatest hits and everybody it. And also Everybody Loves it. And it also say to you with the best respect to posh and whatever, they to posh spice and whatever, they could without her 100. Could do it without her 100. The thing. I think and thats the thing. I think if were to do it, it would if she were to do it, it would be amazing. No ones expecting her live, even her to sing live, but even just to her there as that to have her up there as that memory you know, the five of memory of, you know, the five of them together be so iconic them together would be so iconic because last they because the last time they performed together was the olympic ceremony, olympic closing ceremony, which is now. And i think is so long ago now. And i think people would they could probably double prices double the ticket prices if victoria going to Victoria Beckham was going to come stage. Victoria beckham was going to conshe stage. Victoria beckham was going to conshe almost doesnt need it, she almost doesnt need it, whereas the others possibly do need than her. Need it more than her. Makes you say mel what makes you say mel b needs it . I suppose so, geri halliwell, the she was on the the very fact she was on the weakest link me at saturday. Im sure that doesnt mean she needs do have to say she needs it. I do have to say i was, you know, i was there with her and shes fit as a her and shes as fit as a butchers dog.
