Ministers are looking at shutting hundreds of branches across country. And that is across the country. And that is across the country. And that is a of a scandal. Frankly, it is. And its a gb news exclusive. So you want to stick around for that. But first, westminster its but first, westminster at its worst, scenes worst, more embarrassing scenes last you believe worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi you believe worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi couldnt you believe worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi couldnt. You believe worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi couldnt. House believe worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi couldnt. House of lieve worst, more embarrassing scenes lasi couldnt. House of commons it . I couldnt. House of commons descended after descended into chaos after the speaken descended into chaos after the speaker, hoyle , was speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, was accused did , of favouring accused and he did, of favouring the labour partys amendment to gaza motion. Gaza ceasefire motion. So this follows hours of debate. There was arguing tory debate. There was arguing tory and snp members left the floor in protest at what they saw as the speaker basically being not able to control the room. Able to control the room. Im partisan how does this help the suffering in gaza and in the end, there was no vote whatsoever. Thats right. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle did have this to say in the fallout after the vote. The fallout after the vote. There wasnt a vote. There wasnt a vote. I am, and i regret with the deepness. I am, and i regret with the deepness. With my sadness that deepness. With my sadness that its ended up on like that in this position. That was never my this position. That was never my intention for it to end up like this. I was upset lutely absent , this. I was upset lutely absent, lutely convinced that the decision was done with the right intentions. Decision was done with the right intentions. I recognise , i intentions. I recognise, i recognise the strength of feeling of members on this issue i when 5mm when you say there wasnt a vote , well, there wasnt vote, well, there wasnt ultimately a vote, was there in the way that it was intended. It was nodded through. It was nodded through. So its the worst of all. So its the worst of all. Words were at worlds, in my view. Commons at its worst. And we shouldnt forget. I like lindsay hall. Ive known him a long time. He was a labour mp. Hes technically still a labour mp and was doing a favour for mp and was he doing a favour for the party . Because there the labour party . Because there was huge revolt was going to be a huge revolt for starmer on this snp for keir starmer on this snp motion, which is quite an allegation really, it . Allegation really, isnt it . The only one youre not the only one saying that this morning though. Lets ask labour mp for Birmingham Steve Birmingham Selly oak, steve mccabe. Morning steve. And mccabe. Good morning steve. And do you agree with andrews assessment of the situation that Lindsay Hoyle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lirasay hoyle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lira ratheryle acted effectively assessment of the situation that lira rather unprofessional ively in a rather unprofessional manner partisan in this manner by being partisan in this very, um, febrile atmosphere there in the. House of commons . There in the. House of commons . Im afraid i dont, andrew. I dont think thats what happened at all. I think its largely misrepresenting the situation. Misrepresenting the situation. Its not entirely new. The existing arrangements were set up existing arrangements were set p by existing arrangements were set up by Norman Stevens back in, uh, margaret thatchers government because there was a dispute about the way opposition debates were handled. So uh, speaker hoyle did parted from recent precedent. But its not recent precedent. But its not in itself , recent precedent. But its not in itself, uh, that you, recent precedent. But its not in itself , uh, that you, the in itself, uh, that you, the problem was that he was given to believe, as i understand it, problem was that he was given to believe, as i understand it , the believe, as i understand it, the problem was he was given to believe that the government fully intended to put and vote on its amendment. Had that on its amendment. Had that happened there would have been three votes. Um at the last minute, you saw it yourself. These leader of the house of commons announced that the government had changed its mind , government had changed its mind, and we can only speculate and why that happened. Steve. It was grubby. It was the commons at its worst. There wasnt a vote in the end. It went through on the nod. It was meant be a Scottish National meant to be a Scottish National Party Opposition day. They didnt their put didnt get their motion put to the what grubby the vote. What sort of grubby little leader of little deal did the leader of the sir keir the opposition, sir keir starmer, do behind the speakers chair the speaker . Because chair with the speaker . Because thats it thats what it looks like. It reeks. Reeks. Yeah, well, i certainly agree the scenes were very unedifying. The scenes were very unedifying. I totally share that. Um, i i totally share that. Um, i mean, i think actually the truth is theres been far too much posturing around the whole gaza issue. Too much hot air, too much posturing , too many people much posturing, too many people trying to grab headlines and not thinking about the real situation on the ground. And i situation on the ground. And i dont think the house of commons did itself any favours yesterday, but im not aware of any deals that were done , and i any deals that were done, and i think its wrong of people to suggest that this is an exceedingly difficult situation. There was a good argument for saying that three quite different sets of views should be allowed to be put forward , be allowed to be put forward, and thats what the speaker, as i understand it, sought to do. I understand it, sought to do. Oh, steve, come on. There are labour mps whove been threatened by those who understandably feel very strongly about palestine. I understand the sense of passion behind this issue, but theyve been threatened with violence from islamist constituents of theirs. And this is the way in which our democracy has now bent to this sort of religious, sectarian ism in this country. Thats what happened last night. Well, there are mps , not just well, there are mps, not just laboun well, there are mps, not just labour. I mean, i seem to recall that the snp member, chris lowe, was shouted down when he attempted to address a rally in dundee and we saw the horrendous scenes outside Tobias Ellwood , scenes outside Tobias Ellwood, uh, home. Uh, just the other week. Its certainly true. There week. Its certainly true. There are elements in this country who have used the gaza situation to display their contempt for democracy. I see no argument democracy. I see no argument about that whatsoever. Uh, the about that whatsoever. Uh, the point im trying to make is that there were three slightly different positions , uh, that different positions, uh, that were of significance yesterday. I think , in good faith. Uh, i think, in good faith. Uh, Lindsay Hoyle attempted to reflect that, which is kind of what the speaker is required to do, in my understanding. Look, i do, in my understanding. Look, i have been to Lindsay Hoyle to try and make represent notations on things. My experience of on things. My experience of deaung on things. My experience of dealing with the mine is that he politely listens to you and he makes it clear that he makes the judgement that thats what we elected him to do. Elected him to do. Steve isnt the truth here isnt the truth here. The leader of the opposition is panicking because so many independent muslim candidates are being put up in key labour seats because they do not like the labour partys position on the war in gaza, because starmer had refused to use the word ceasefire. Even your own ceasefire. Even your own frontbencher, wes streeting has got an independent muslim standing against him in a constituency where hes only got a majority of 5000. Another u turn and then they mug the speaker to make sure the vote goes their way. Goes their way. Well, i dont as i say, andrew, i accept that thats the situation at all. The situation in gaza is really difficult. It in gaza is really difficult. It requires people to show a bit of grit and a bit of understanding, and with the greatest respect, it doesnt matter how many motions are passed in the house of commons or how many people chantin of commons or how many people chant in the streets, or what threats certain individuals make, this will only be resolved at the point that we can make the talks in egypt and qatar. At the talks in egypt and qatar. At the un bear fruit. And you know, we should concentrate our energies on that. People who who think that theyre posturing in the house of commons is going to make a difference, are mistaken. Make a difference, are mistaken. Steve. Thank you. Weve finished on a very common sense note there. Labour mp for Birmingham Selly oak, steve mccabe there just to save the number of mps who have now signed a motion confidence signed a motion of no confidence in the speaker, has risen to 49. This getting quite now this is getting quite serious view. Got in the serious in my view. Got in the studio, lister, was studio, sam lister, who was there, of course, political edhon there, of course, Political Editor, express editor, the daily express and lovely sam fels, who was not there, actually was, oh, you there, but actually was, oh, you were there too. I was in parliament a speech on Parliament Giving a speech on parliamentary while it parliamentary ethics while it was down, believe it was all going down, believe it or extraordinary, or not. How extraordinary, amazing. Honestly , i mean, the so the honestly, i mean, the irony of that though, youre there talking about ethics amongst that behaving amongst that rabble behaving like children. Sam lister , like children. Um, sam lister, lets let me just ask you then. Can you just explain the can you just explain to the British Public this matters . British public why this matters . Because be many because there will be so many people morning because there will be so many peoplei morning because there will be so many peoplei dont morning because there will be so many peoplei dont care morning because there will be so many peoplei dont care , morning because there will be so many peoplei dont care , care,1ing because there will be so many peoplei dont care , care, ing going, i dont care, care, i dont care, particularly about whats happening in the middle east. I dont care particularly about whats happening amongst these people in the house of commons. Why is important . Commons. Why is it important . Well, lets just kind okay, well, lets just kind of down bare of take it to down its bare bones. Speaker has ultimate bones. The speaker has ultimate power what happens power to choose what happens in that. So various people that chamber. So various people will amendments to will put forward amendments to change bills to change the laws that affect all our lives. Hes the who chooses them. He has the one who chooses them. He has the one who chooses them. He has the ultimate power. So mps have to be able to completely trust in him to be an independent arbiter. He essentially hes like a referee on a football pitch. If one team thinks that hes the referee is favouring the other side , how can they the other side, how can they continue playing that match . Its not a fair match. And is that a role that people do normally hold with impartial people do normally hold with imfhistorically, they always historically, they always come party, but they come from a party, but they renounce that party allegiance. They become an independent mp until bercow , until john until john bercow, until john bercow, and they we saw during the brexit years , uh, what the brexit years, uh, what happens when a speaker is perceived to be partial . He was obviously perceived to be a remainer. He made comments that made people clearly feel that. And then he took a lot of actions that stymied brexit. And so we saw how angry the house got. I sat through all those brexit wars in the commons as the anger. It was nothing. On the anger. It was nothing. On the anger. It was nothing. On the anger in the chamber last night. I mean, mps were furious. This wasnt just tory mps , this this wasnt just tory mps, this was mps. Even the smaller was snp mps. Even the smaller parties, green party. This parties, the green party. This has implications for all the other parties. Only labour were happy happened happy with what happened last night has to tell you night and that has to tell you something about the scale of this, because he effectively , by this, because he effectively, by what did with by manipulating what he did with by manipulating the commons procedure in an unprecedented way, he stopped there a massive there being a massive labour revolt on whether there should be a ceasefire immediately. Yeah. And it was the biggest revolt of his leadership in november. It would have been even bigger last night. And he has got this problem, starmer, hasnt he, with all these independent muslims, this is going will going to mean even more will come would imagine, come forward. I would imagine, because there wasnt a vote, it wasnt a vote. Because there wasnt a vote, it wasand| vote. Because there wasnt a vote, it wasand| votestarmer it and keir starmer i mean, it would a huge, huge would have been a huge, huge night for him. He faced this massive rebellion, you say. Night for him. He faced this mwould rebellion, you say. Night for him. He faced this mwould rebelibeen you say. It would have been deeply divisive for his party. Just remind why the just remind us why the rebellion, though, his rebellion, though, because his party to for party didnt want to vote for his they his amendments. Yes, they were on with the snp version. On board with the snp version. Mps were so labour the labour mps were so labour labour to 100 mps labour mps up to 100 labour mps who predominantly but not who are predominantly but not only but predominantly in constituencies that have high muslim populations , uh, wanted muslim populations, uh, wanted to back the snp motion which called for an immediate ceasefire with no caveats, no caveats , and also, crucially, um caveats, and also, crucially, um , really, they use a particular phrase about how the israeli state was treating the gazans collective punishment. Now , sir keir starmer would now, sir keir starmer would not sign up to that phrase. Collective punishment. Wanted to do separate version, do his own separate version, watered down version that all his mps could get behind. And so the speaker, effectively, this was an snp debate. He took this off the snp and gave it to labour and gave labour an open goal is that how you see this playing out, sam, that this is just british mps playing politics with a middle eastern issue . Yeah, unfortunately i do and i think im really pleased that you said this is the middle eastern issue, because the point here is that 30,000 people have been killed and the majority of them are women and children. Them are women and children. Varne and mps needed to grapple with that. We still purport to be a leading global nation. We should be grappling with that, and we should have grappled with the question of whether that amounts to collective punishment. What the speaker punishment. And what the speaker did by essentially flipping the order in which things were discussed prevented mps from expressing a view on whether they thought that what israel was doing amounts to collective punishment. And thats really important. Important. And why that phrase, why is that phrase collective punishment important . Because collective punishments are war crimes. Exactly correct. Thats right. So starmer couldnt sign up to that. Yes, but a of up to that. Yes, but a lot of his mps think israel is guilty of war crimes. Yeah. And i dont think that has anything whether anything to do with whether they got constituents, got muslim constituents, because you for all of us, its you can for all of us, its perfectly possible to just to look a country doing, look at what a country is doing, whether whether whether thats israel, whether thats whether thats thats the drc, whether thats russia , and say your actions are russia, and say your actions are in breach of international law, theyre wrong. I dont care what your ethnic background is. So , sam, lets bring you back so, sam, lets bring you back in here because the speakers justification for his extraordinary behaviour last night was that fearful for night was that hes fearful for labour personal safety. If labour mps personal safety. If uh, can you explain why he came to that conclusion . Well i mean, he was essentially forced back into the chamber because mps were so furious they demanded he returned. Returned. He wasnt intending to. He had to come and he had to say something. Uh now, if we take his, uh , excuse on face value, his, uh, excuse on face value, hes saying, because tensions are so high over this, weve all seen the protests dominating our high streets up and down the country that actually many labour theyre safety labour mps felt theyre safety was under threat. I have two problems with that. One, you cannot do in cannot change what we do in parliament because of threats from whoever they from the public. Whoever they are. Two tory mps actually said to me, well, all he did was take the target off the labour backs and put a target on our backs because the conservatives would have been in a different position to both the snp and laboun position to both the snp and labour. And so actually he didnt think about the safety of all mps. No, didnt think about the safety of all mps. No, he wasnt thinking about the safety of tory mps, who are also really , really who are also really, really fearful their safety. You fearful of their safety. You think safety labour think about the safety of labour mps to remember even mps and we have to remember even though difficult to grapple though its difficult to grapple with hes neutral, he is though its difficult to grapple wlabour hes neutral, he is though its difficult to grapple wlabour mp hes neutral, he is though its difficult to grapple wlabour mp. 1es neutral, he is a labour mp. He was elected in 1997, a labour mp. Yeah guys, weve got to take a quick break. Sorry to interrupt im so sorry to interrupt you, dont anywhere. You, but dont go anywhere. Whats collective noun for whats the collective noun for sams . Intellectual sams . As an intellectual heavyweight sams . As an intellectual h welcome back. 951. Were going to go straight back to our pair of sams who were here this morning talking about events in westminster last night. The scenes outside sam fells barrister , of course, remind barrister, of course, remind people. And you were there last night how how aggressive was the atmosphere outside the building . Atmosphere outside the building . Ive got to say, for me it was more of a carnival than than aggressive. Yeah. So i actually completely accidentally ended up being in this march for quite a long time because i was just i was trying to get greys in was trying to get from greys in to parliament, i just ended to parliament, and i just ended up their, their route. Up following their, their route. Right. It was predominantly right. And it was predominantly sort middle white sort of middle class white people who were, you know, clearly there protesting against because they objected to what the likud government, israel is doing rather than anything else. Doing rather than anything else. There was a lot of shouting, you know, a lot police there. But know, a lot of police there. But i was i was chatting to the police. They were they were pretty chill, chilled out , pretty chill, chilled out, chatting you know, chatting to me. And, you know, the they it certainly the they certainly it certainly made it much more difficult to get around westminster. Very martin gb news very own Martin Daubney egg at him daubney got an egg thrown at him by varne protesters and will by the varne protesters and will no talking about that no doubt be talking about that this from 3 00. This afternoon from 3 00. Um, sam , what what do you make of sam, what what do you make of it . Because it sounds like that it . Because it sounds like that it unusual on any sort of it is unusual on any sort of votes to have a group of people outside trying persuade outside trying to persuade parliament you do. I mean, you do get it. And, you know, the office where i sit, out onto the, um, sit, it faces out onto the, um, onto the parliament square. And that have the that area. So you do have the protesters in and out for all kinds reasons. But think we kinds of reasons. But i think we have remember its only have to remember its only a week since ellwood, week ago since Tobias Ellwood, a conservative mp. Yeah. Had a Group Protesters turn up group of protesters turn up on his and that a his doorstep and that was a peaceful protest. But a peaceful protest of nearly 100 people on on his doorstep with his children inside. If you are inside that house, it doesnt matter if theyre being peaceful. Yeah, that is intimidating. Yeah, that is intimidating. Thatis. Yeah, that is intimidating. That is intimidating. Um, the speaker, is he going to survive this . I think hes really in trouble. I think yesterday trouble. I think yesterday morning , yesterday lunchtime, morning, yesterday lunchtime, when this all happened , i when this all happened, i thought, well, its very unusual for a speaker to ever be unseated. Really takes a lot unseated. It really takes a lot to do it. But by the end of the day, when we saw that level of anger mps then the anger from the mps and then the conservative whatsapp groups last on fire, they last night were on fire, they are uh, almost universally are all, uh, almost universally against him. Theres1 are all, uh, almost universally against him. Theres 1 or 2 who think that he should be kept in post hes weak post now because hes weak, weak and can push him around and so they can push him around him,. But on the whole, him, around. But on the whole, they want rid of him. They want rid of him. So what a way that is. So what a way that is. Yeah. No, it is, it is. But what does this say for people looking in and our very famous parliament, one of the oldest parliaments in the world, the. Look. The. It is such a bad look. Embarrassing. It is its embarrassing. It is embarrassing. I agree it embarrassing. Yeah, i agree it is. Not. Um know, this is. Its not. Um you know, this is, say, this is really is, as we say, this is a really Important International issue and reduced will and its become reduced to will it change our system that it ever change our system that alienates people . Alienates so many people . Gosh. Sam. Oh, gosh. Sam. Oh, gosh. I hope so, because the youre right, an right, this comes down to an ancient of date system. Ancient and out of date system. Well, one guy gets well, we have one guy who gets to make these decisions about what people are allowed, what the allowed what people are allowed, what th dont go anywhere. Dont go anywhere.

Havent women been going through this for years without having to have such concessions made for them . Us know what made for them . Let us know what you. You think. Extraordinarily with the speaken extraordinarily with the speaker, because he was supposed to be a breath of fresh air after the ghastly john bercow, who was so anti brexit and made it absolutely clear he was anti brexit and rigged all sorts of brexit. Of votes to scupper brexit. So how many people have to give him a vote of no confidence for to have to go there . For him to have to go there . Tory 51, have 650 tory mps, 51, have already signed a motion of no confidence. It gets to 100, confidence. If it gets to 100, hes in big, trouble. It hes in big, big trouble. It feels like hes in a lot feels to me like hes in a lot of pain, but there isnt a cut off where what happens is off point where what happens is people what people will come to him, what they usual channels and they call the usual channels and say, mr speaker, youve lost the confidence. That sounds quite sinister. Yeah, what happens when yeah, thats what happens when the in the the establishment in the corridors power. Yeah. Corridors of power. Oh, yeah. Was starmer and what was keir starmer doing a private q one and doing having a private q one and one, on one with the speaker one, one on one with the speaker before the real before the vote .

Thats be a ceasefire in gaza. Thats appalling. Not that it would make difference make any difference to the ceasefire gaza. Israel ceasefire in gaza. Well, israel doesnt care what america thinks. To carry thinks. Theyre going to carry on, it just makes the house on, but it just makes the house of look a mess. On, but it just makes the house of look a mess. It on, but it just makes the house of look a mess. It does. Of commons look a mess. It does. Unedifying. Worse than a sixth form debating society. Yeah shameful, right. First though, your very latest headunes though, your very latest headlines with tatiana. Beth. Headlines with tatiana. Beth. Thank you. 10 02, your top stories from the newsroom. The stories from the newsroom. The speaker of the house of commons is facing calls to resign after a debate on a ceasefire in gaza turned chaotic last night. More turned chaotic last night. More than 50 snp and tory mps have now signed a no confidence motion against sir Lindsay Hoyle after he allowed a Labour Amendment to an snp motion calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to the break from convention sparked fury in the house, with commons leader Penny Mordaunt claiming hed hijacked the debate. Labours National Campaign coordinator, pat mcfadden, says his position shouldnt be under threat. Weve got the highest respect for mr speaker and i feel bad for him today because hes taking the blame and apologise for a situation that he couldnt have foreseen when he couldnt have foreseen when he took that decision. Who would have thought that the government of the day didnt even have the numbers on its own side on a Foreign Policy proposition, and that their decision to withdraw from the debate would effectively crater the plan that the speaker had put together to make sure that all three propositions could be voted on in a joint operation.

Ministers are looking at shutting branches shutting hundreds of branches across the which is terrible. Banks are closing everywhere. Banks are closing everywhere. Cashpoint machines are closing everywhere. Post offices. They are such an important part of a local community. Theyve got to stop this. Yeah. Local community. Theyve got to st0|remember. Local community. Theyve got to st0|remember whats important remember whats important isnt people at the centre of every community. Thats all that really matters is the people. Thats it. You know, theyre doing and you know, theyre doing this cover the this under the cover of the great scandal the horizon. Great scandal over the horizon. It thinking, thinking people wont are noticing wont notice. We are noticing ministers dont do it right. First, though, westminster at its worst, an embarrassing scene. Last night the house of commons descended into chaos after the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle , favouring the , was accused of favouring the Labour Amendment to labour partys amendment to a Gaza Ceasefire motion. So there was hours of debate and arguing, talking. Snp members then walked out of the commons in protest as what they saw as the speaker, frankly being part loyal to the labour party. I must remember he was a labour. Labour mp. So 51 mps have now signed a no confidence vote in the speaken no confidence vote in the speaker. But has this debacle and embarrassed britain . Lets hear speaker hoyle hear speaker Lindsay Hoyle apology i am and i regret with the deep. The deep. With my sadness that its ended up on like that in this position. That was never my intention for it to end up like this. I was absolutely , this. I was absolutely, absolutely convinced that the decision was done with the right intentions. Decision was done with the right intentions. I recognise , i intentions. I recognise, i recognise the strength of feeling of members on this issue i well, well, he certainly does. Now theres 51 mps voted signing a motion of motion of no confidence. The other thing but the clerk of the commons is an all powerful figure. They are all powerful figure. They are the brain. They give the legal brain. They give advice to the speaker. They sit in of the speaker. There in front of the speaker. There are those wigs. Are those people in wigs. Unusually, the clerk of the commons put it on the record that he had advised the speaker not to do this. Is that right . Very very, very unusual. Highly unusual for the for the clerk, because theyre behind the scenes figures. I mean, they sit in theyre seen and in front, but theyre seen and not. They give very not heard. They give very important advice, boundaries. Not heard. They give very importarclerkice, boundaries. Not heard. They give very importarclerk said,oundaries. Not heard. They give very importarclerk said, dontiries. Not heard. They give very importarclerk said, dont do ;. And the clerk said, dont do this. Speaker. A this. Mr speaker. It is a mistake. He did it. So the clerk published his advice, saying, i told him not to it. Told him not to do it. Person is also meant and that person is also meant to completely politically impartial. Absolutely. They are. The absolutely. They are. The clerk commons is a civil clerk of the commons is a civil servant, effectively paid by the taxpayer. Supporting taxpayer. Theyre not supporting any Political Party whatsoever. I a clue the i wouldnt have a clue what the clerk commons , which clerk of the commons, which Political Party they support , Political Party they support, and usually there is one clerk in commons, in the in the commons, is now in the house lords but sits as house of lords but sits as a crossbencher, independent. Joining is well, joining us now is former the former former labour mp and the former chair jewish labour chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, ivor caplin. Good morning just your morning ivor. Um, just your assessment really, you both your assessment really, you both your assessment of the situation last night , um, assessment of the situation last night, um, who were the winners and who were the losers . And who were the losers . Well, i dont think there were any winners. Um uh, last night in the house of commons, it was shambolic. Um, its not it was shambolic. Um, its not what we want to see from the house of commons. Um, and i think in, in, in some ways what the speaker was trying to do possibly was right because there were a number of different issues around , uh, gaza that he issues around, uh, gaza that he wanted to try and see debated dunng wanted to try and see debated during the day. Um fortunately, it didnt turn into that. And possibly the, the, the issue here probably is he should have spoken to the parties before everything started. This was always going to be a controversial day in the house of commons. Just because there are different views from the government of the day, from the opposition of the day, and then the snp, etc. So . So it was very the snp, etc. So . So it was very difficult. Um, i, i have some difficult. Um, i, i have some sinner empathy with, with lindsay in trying to do the right thing for the whole of the house of commons. Its, its a very difficult job indeed. Um, very difficult job indeed. Um, but obviously it went badly wrong and at least he did go back to the house and make an apology , which i dont think apology, which i dont think ive ever seen, even from mr bercow. Bercow. Andrew, i yeah, ive look, i had huge issues with john bercow. He was a terrible, terrible speaker in my view. So partial and i think its i think lindsay hall has really blotted his copy. But but you said there quite significantly either he should have talked to the parties before he. He did, parties before he. What he did, he spoke to party leader he spoke to one party leader only. Spoke to sir keir only. He spoke to sir keir starmer. There is no denial about dont know what about that. We dont know what was conversation, was said in that conversation, but what that looks like either because didnt talk the because he didnt talk to the tory or leader of the tory leader or the leader of the commons the chief he commons or the chief whip, he only labour. He looks only spoke to labour. He looks like some little like he did some grubby little deal behind the scenes to spare keir starmer, who dreaded , of keir starmer, who dreaded, of all labour mps supporting this snp motion, which would be an even bigger revolt than he suffered last year. Suffered last year. Well, let me i mean, we dont know the actual consequences of what was said in that , uh, what was said in that, uh, conversation, but , you know, what was said in that, uh, conversation, but, you know, i do think that speaking to the party is, is a job of the speaker and probably youre right, andrew, what he should have done was to have spoken to all the parties, which i see he wants to do today. Wants to do today. And i think thats at least a step in the right direction. Um, i mean, look, the labour party had a different view than the snp. Thats not a surprise to anyone. Um, on your programme, we discussed this the other day about the change from the us and what that that change was making in terms of , what that that change was making in terms of, um, the united nafions in terms of, um, the United Nations and what could happen there. So it was an ongoing situation and, and it and it is today and it will be tomorrow. And it was yesterday. We very difficult lets not bore people with the minutiae of the protocol, but it meant effectively what happened , that effectively what happened, that there could be no debate about whether israels action in gaza might be deemed to be collective punishment, which is a war crime under international regulation. Under international regulation. Is that a debate that needs to be had in parliament . No, its the simple answer. Why . Um, i, i dont think that is a matter for the house of commons. Its a matter for the United Nations. Of course. And, United Nations. Of course. And, and the five main players in the un. So i dont think that would be appropriate. And i think we be appropriate. And i think we need we do need to stop that because. Because. Well, maybe sir Lindsay Hoyle agreed with you. Maybe he maybe sir Lindsay Hoyle agreed with you. And therefore that debate was not had. And thered be some people that would say, thats absolutely a conversation that should but i could jump in yeah, but if i could jump in here as well, if i could jump in yeah, but if i could jump in here you ell, if i could jump in yeah, but if i could jump in here you saidf i could jump in yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it could jump in yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it shouldiump in yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it should bep in yeah, but if i could jump in here you said it should be an1 here, you said it should be an issue for the major five players of nations. Well, of the United Nations. Well, britain you say, britain is one of them. You say, why didnt the British Parliament Proper Parliament have a proper debate on they agree that on whether, uh, they agree that israel i mean, dont think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, dont think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, ofont think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, of war think on whether, uh, they agree that israe are nean, of war crimes they are guilty of war crimes myself , but why shouldnt the myself, but why shouldnt the British Parliament . We are a major player the united major player in the united nafions major player in the United Nations debate and nations have that debate and a vote on it. Vote on it. I mean, i, i think that one of the problems at the moment is we are in an Election Year and therefore there are two main parties have no desire. It appears to actually speak together on critical matters. This is a Critical International matter, but its not a critical uk matter because in the uk there is enough going on in, um, you know, the nhs and education and all the usual sort of things that matter. I mean, you know, weve, weve, weve discussed previous about, you know, the troops and what they need in terms of support. So theres lots of things going on here. But in International Terms this is a matter for the un predominantly. And i think predominantly. And i think thats where the uk should be playing its part okay. All right. Thank you so much. Former chair of the Jewish Labour Movement ivor caplin there. If if sir Lindsay Hoyle has to step down, um, who takes his place . His place . Its a vote for the commons. Its not a matter for the government at all. Ministers dont get involved so that bat well, theyll have a vote. But backbenchers will decide. But there three, three deputy there are three, three deputy speakers , um, two tory, one speakers, um, two tory, one laboun speakers, um, two tory, one labour, one of them is standing down next election. So it down at the next election. So it will be. And they will will probably be. And they will almost certainly want a speaker to reflect the politics of lindsay labour. So it could be chris bryant, sir chris bryant, welsh, hes a labour mp in rhondda. He would be the first openly gay speaker. He was second last time and i should imagine hes , as we speak, imagine hes, as we speak, champing at the bit. Do you think so . Hell be a government minister if the labour party win the next election, which they look because hes a look like, because hes got a junior job, junior ministerial job, he wouldnt in cabinet. I wouldnt be in the cabinet. I think would be think being speaker would be far more option for him more attractive option for him than being minister. Than being a junior minister. And happen quickly . And does that happen quickly . They do it they could they could do it within day. Within a day. Yeah. A day. Yeah. A day. Yeah. Well bryant, if. Youre well chris bryant, if. Youre watching and you want to get in touch with us and pitch yourself for that particular role, and youve long youve known me for a very long time, chris. Youve known me for a very long tim so chris. Youve known me for a very long tim so do zhris. Youve known me for a very long tim so do call. Wed love to talk so do call. Wed love to talk to you. But he wouldnt have to stand down as an mp. No, you carry on. No, no, you carry on. Youd to an you youd have to be an mp. You have carry on as an mp, okay . Have to carry on as an mp, okay . Because was standing because when bercow was standing down, people went down, one of the people who went for ann widdecombe. But for it was ann widdecombe. But she was standing at the she was standing down at the next election. No, Michael Martin down. For martin stood down. She went for it. She was standing down at it. But she was standing down at the election. I the next election. She said i can transitional speaker. Can be a transitional speaker. Shed brilliant, shed have been brilliant, wouldnt she would wouldnt she . Yes, she would have and that have been so honest. And that voice cut through steel voice would cut through a steel vault. But whats Chris Bryants voice like . Sufficient . Voice like . Is it sufficient . Its pretty strong. Loud. Hed himself and hed make himself heard, and hes a Great Parliament man in hed make himself heard, and hessense at Parliament Man in hed make himself heard, and hessense at peinament man in hed make himself heard, and hessense at pein the� nt man in hed make himself heard, and hessense at pein the chamber] the sense hes in the chamber a lot. He was the chamber lot. He was in the chamber speaking yesterday. People speaking yesterday. Some people thought what we thought he was doing what we call stringing call filibustering, stringing out have out a debate which should have been minutes give been over in ten minutes to give the to stitch the speaker more time to stitch up that deal with keir starmer. So oh, well, you might have oh, well, you might have heard first, let us heard it here. First, let us know thoughts this morning. Heard it here. First, let us know atioughts this morning.

So she just comes in, makes you just any one who makes the noise, racket and noise thats tominey clatters away. Nichi hodgson i clatter , Nichi Hodgson i do clatter, waits politely. Yeah. So were talking about the front page of the mail. The daily mail. Carol. Yeah we are. This is you, it . About you, isnt it . Its about menopausal women. Menopausal women. So. Menopausal women. Well, darling, im so. Im so past that. Not funny. But past that. Its not funny. But anyway. Whats excuse then. Well. Well. Well. I wasnt late , and im not i wasnt late, and im not cranky. Well, i know i am cranky. Well, i know i am cranky. You are cranky. This is a great story. I think, because it made me cross today. Because its saying that bosses are warned are breaching warned that they are breaching equality they allow equality laws unless they allow menopausal women certain privileges. Now, what are one of the things is that theyre allowed to wear cooler uniforms at work and absolutely right. One of other things is one of the other things is theyre they should be theyre saying they should be able and a little able to go and have a little rest in the afternoon or whenever, theyre feeling whenever, if theyre feeling a little bit tired or anxious. Well, would well, you know, that would work for it . For you. Bev wouldnt it . Lovely. Work for you lovely. That would work for you on if you needed to go and on air if you needed to go and lie no but what i think is lie down. No but what i think is that is making the that this, this is making the menopause disease. Menopause an illness, a disease. Its equality its not the Equality Commission. It was commission. When it was discussing this, said they are applying criteria to applying the same criteria to menopause women as they are to disabled people. This is this is disabled people. This is this is just nonsense. This is this is just nonsense. This is this is a part of ageing. Its not an illness. Its a human condition that women have been through for years. And women now get more help with theyve ever help with it than theyve ever had before. Women of my mums generation nothing. They generation got nothing. They were to crack on and were just told to crack on and go which did, go to work, which they did, which they did. Some of them did. So then lots were and lots of people were very ill and some people their own some people took their own lives. I completely lives. I mean, i completely agree you, carol. Treating agree with you, carol. Treating it like an illness actually it like an illness is actually contributing to this fear amongst my about amongst women of my age about the menopause. All get the menopause. Its all we get sent media posts about sent on social media posts about looking, waiting for looking, you know, waiting for any symptoms case youre any symptoms in case youre nearly yet and all this nearly there. Yet and all this kind stuff, is just so kind of stuff, which is just so bonng kind of stuff, which is just so boring and depressing to have to think about. Oh, i think think about. Oh, and i do think that i think the other that the i think the other problem about the being able problem is about the being able to little actually, to take a little rest. Actually, i should be allowed i think anyone should be allowed to that if theres to do that if theres like a certain break. Yeah because ive worked ive get paid worked for talent. Ive get paid to a little rest. To have a little rest. No, no. But if you say, say youve got allotted lunch no, no. But if you say, say youve and allotted lunch no, no. But if you say, say youveand half ted lunch no, no. But if you say, say youve and half ted hour,1 right. And then what you decide to do is take it at 4 00 pm and have a nap in a special nap room. Whats with that . Room. Whats wrong with that . Then more productive. Room. Whats wrong with that . The all more productive. Room. Whats wrong with that . The all because � e productive. Room. Whats wrong with that . The all because you oductive. Room. Whats wrong with that . The all because you knowve. Its all because you know whats wrongmight not suit the person it might not suit the person whos your which whos paying your wages, which i think the most impertinent. Think is the most impertinent. But really worries but you know what really worries me be me on this . This will be a barrier. Some employers will say im not employing. All right. Because say of them on because if i say both of them on a theyre going to go a bad day, theyre going to go crying and this a bad day, theyre going to go cnthis and this a bad day, theyre going to go cnthis is and this a bad day, theyre going to go cnthis is discrimination. This a bad day, theyre going to go cnthis is discrimination. I this is this is discrimination. I want compensation. Lie and want compensation. Lie down and i you see. So i want compensation, you see. So i want compensation, you see. So i think so you could say that about pregnancy, couldnt you . Well, viewed yes. As well, though viewed as if they are a as a liability if they are a fertile years and women are not a i think there a liability, well, i think there are some small firms there. Definitely are there definitely are because theyre because they fear theyre a woman certain age, is going woman of a certain age, is going to children, cant to have children, and they cant afford the maternity. Definitely. Find paternity definitely. I find the paternity leave well. Leave now as well. Forget. Well, dont forget. Well, absolutely dont forget. Well, absyeah. Y i mean, we still yeah.

And thats to do that because they want to be wof thats just sort nd thats to do that because they want to be wof thats just sort of thats kind of thats just sort of natural. Its what people want to do. Before this was good the before this was good for the fact there was fact that that there was discrimination among childbearing meant childbearing women meant that older women got a preference. Now going to because now theyre not going to because it in the other way. It will swing in the other way. Well, well women well, yeah. Well which women are get a preference .

That . And women. Did you know that . And the were left out the reason women were left out is of periods of is because of periods of menopause. Theyve seen as dirtying the baseline. Yes exactly. Near exactly. So were nowhere near the that we need in the equality that we need in healthcare. But is healthcare. But this is absolutely thing to be absolutely the wrong thing to be talking about.

As they grew, they market. Um, as they grew, they moved lot of their production moved a lot of their production requirements to the far for east the production. Uh, the cheaper, uh, production. Uh, we carried on dealing with them on smaller basis still on a much smaller basis on still prototyping , development work. Prototyping, development work. Uh, during the uh, but then during the pandemic, when they couldnt get supply from china or their products turned and products, they turned to us and asked us to see if we could do supply for them. Um, we couldnt compete quite with price on what they were buying from the far east. But then when you put in the entire price of, uh, component, including shipping quality, turnaround and delivery and lead time , uh, it actually and lead time, uh, it actually works out better for them to buy the product from the uk.

Good Community Action group. Good morning dean. Talk to me morning to you, dean. Talk to me about been said so far about what has been said so far and why theres been such outrage here in millom. Well i think the outrage started with nobody actually knowing who was actually going to be occupying these hmos. There was a lot of rumours flying around town from different people, and it was only when one of the elderly residents , um, asked a builder residents, um, asked a builder whos next door to what was going on, and he said it was going on, and he said it was going to be hmos. And there was going to be hmos. And there was going to be Asylum Seekers coming from london, which started started off. And then started it started off. And then via social media. Um, we were sent a video from i think it was Beach Properties saying that there was they were going to have six hmos in millom , uh, and have six hmos in millom, uh, and there was going to be more. That was it. Now just to clarify for our viewers, an hmo is, of course, housing for multiple occupancy on one of those proposed hmos on the street that weve been on this morning. There has graffiti. Im there has been graffiti. Im sure well be able to see pictures of that which says not welcome. You that welcome scum. Do you think that thats an appropriate response . What on be what was your take on that . Be weve stayed away from that from the start of. Thats why the group was organised. Weve be organised. Weve tried to be lawful and which we have and weve worked really well with Millom Town Council and our mp. Weve put statements out saying we dont condone this, but the town is really frustrated. Theres obviously a number of individuals who are acting like vigilante groups, which are nothing to do anything that nothing to do with anything that weve set up. We want to do it lawfully , and to get lawfully, and we want to get answers the questions that answers to the questions that were were asked , were asking that were asked, uh, asking obviously the uh, asking now, obviously the population of millom is around 5500. If the Asylum Seekers were to be housed here, its around 40 thats been proposed. Would that be that much of an inconvenience to just add 40 to that population size . Population size . Yeah, i think it would. Were really struggling now, youve really struggling now, as youve seen lack amenities. Seen today, lack of amenities. But plus there is we did a survey ourselves and theres 112 people that are actually on the on the housing list or are actually wanting houses. Our young cant get on the housing ladder because of this. You know , theres houses here, but they have just been snapped up by these investors. And obviously. These investors. And obviously. Um, looking to be made into hmos. Well , gb hmos. Well, gb news have spoken to the home office. Of course, they the home office. Of course, they are responsible for housing Asylum Seekers. And in a statement, theyve said that its duty to its their statutory duty to provide and secure housing provide safe and secure housing for seekers. And we are for Asylum Seekers. And we are continuing closely with continuing to work closely with local , including in local authorities, including in millom, to manage any impact in the area and address local concerns. Do you feel that concerns. Do you feel that thats the case . Weve worked hard with trudy allison, our mp, and shes been in touch with the home put home office whove actually put a on, uh, asylum a pause on on, uh, Asylum Seekers here at the seekers coming here at the moment until we get answers to the that, you know, the questions that, you know, that we need know. That we need to know. Um , tonights meeting is for um, tonights meeting is for that purpose.

Okay. Thank you. Sophie sophie reaper there in cumbria. Youll be getting about youll be getting in touch about menopause. Menopause . Bertius said about menopausal men . Said.

And wendy , how is small wendy says, how is a Small Business to cope when business supposed to cope when staff in saying they cant staff call in saying they cant work because im work today because im perimenopausal cleaners , perimenopausal staff cleaners, kitchen chefs kitchen support staff and chefs not many women do that, to be fair, but but these small firms are the with are hugely under the cosh with costs and all the other issues and the, the, the minimum wage. Whats it called now. Yeah. Whats it called now. Yeah. Living wage. Its a problem. But lets not blame women for that. Lets blame the politicians and the utility companies. Theres a more companies. Theres a lot more reasons for that. Right. Listen, were going be talking in were going to be talking in just a moment. One of the mps who voted for Lindsay Hoyle, who was voted for Lindsay Hoyle, the house the speaker of the house of commons, resign on big news. Commons, to resign on big news. Britains newsroom on. Certificate. Youre listening to gb news radio. Radio. Well, so far, 57 mps have now signed a motion of no confidence in the speaker. Sir Lindsay Hoyle, about his handling of the vote, which didnt in fact take place in the end, and whether there should be a ceasefire in there should be a ceasefire in the gaza war. They included the conservative mp for bolton west, chris. Hes here at the chris green. Hes here at the house in Westminster House of commons in westminster now. Good morning now. Good morning. Good morning chris. Do you want him to go . Chris. Do you want him to go . Uh, yes. I think theres a huge question hanging over the speaker of the house of commons, uh, position at the moment. He interfered in the normal proceedings of the house. He went against the clerk of the house of commons advice and he did it, it seems , at the behest did it, it seems, at the behest of keir starmer , the leader of of keir starmer, the leader of the labour party, the speaker ought to be there speaking on behalf of all members of parliament equally, not not acting as the agent of his former Political Party, the labour party. Chris therell be people at home this morning having their bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee, worrying about how theyre going the how theyre going to fill the car because its too expensive. Cant pay gas bill. They cant pay the gas bill. The shopping too the supermarket shopping is too expensive. To those expensive. Just explain to those people, chris, why this matters to them. To them. Well, the starting point on this is the Scottish National party , as all opposition parties party, as all opposition parties do have an opportunity to raise their concerns in parliament. And its quite right that when they choose that a ceasefire on gazais they choose that a ceasefire on gaza is their priority, thats what they want to talk about in our democracy , in our house of our democracy, in our house of commons, that they have the right to discuss their issue, which is a ceasefire in gaza. Labour couldnt tolerate that. They had to have different words , shift the meaning because they would find it is very difficult for labour Party Management to be able to vote against, abstain or vote in favour with that is snp. Uh agenda. Now thats normal parliamentary process. Normal parliamentary process. And what happened with the speaker of the house of commons . He changed the Standing Orders. The Standing Orders are there to make that normal make sure that normal proceedings in the house have order. And by doing what he did, he created chaos and he undermined our ability to have, uh, normal operations. Normal democratic operations in the house of commons. This is serious for the speaker to do. And people watching might be thinking, thats interesting , thinking, thats interesting, but does it matter really , but does it matter really, chris, in the end, what Parliament Says or thinks about a ceasefire because netanyahu, the israeli Prime Minister, isnt frankly interested. Hes isnt frankly interested. Hes not listening to pressure from the United States. Hes certainly not going to listen to what parliament does. And by the way, what happened yesterday sent terrible image sent the most terrible image around the world of our own parliament. I think , well, this parliament. I think, well, this was intervention by the was an intervention by the speaker of the parliament, uh , speaker of the parliament, uh, that triggered this. Following the conversation with sir keir starmer. But the united has very little United Kingdom has very little influence israel. Israel influence over israel. Israel was attacked in the most horrific way. We can all, uh , horrific way. We can all, uh, expect the reaction israel is currently , uh, delivering in currently, uh, delivering in gaza. We could all anticipate that, uh, before that attack and the United States has influenced other , uh, players in the middle other, uh, players in the middle east have far more incidents. Uh far more influence in israel, in gaza, with hamas, with the Israeli Government than the British Government have in this issue. So its still a question issue. So its still a question for the Scottish National party to assert what they believe the single Biggest Issue is, and for labour to intervene in the way they did when labour have chosen never to have one of their opposition day debates focussed on gaza for them to intervene with the speaker of the house of commons in this way is just so damaging to our democracy. Yes, we want to be talking about health, education, the economy , health, education, the economy, the cost of living, all those things. But this was a snp debate. Debate. Im im just going back im just im just going back again. Do you think if there is again. Do you think if there is a move to topple the speaker again, people worrying again, people who are worrying about living crisis, about the cost of living crisis, chris, about chris, theyre worrying about their gas and electric bills, were just think that its were they just think that its parliament yet again , talking to parliament yet again, talking to itself looking out to itself and not looking out to what really concerns people . What really concerns people . Yes. Yeah there is that problem. There is that danger. But when you have a situation where the speaker, at the behest of sir keir starmer, leader of the labour party , usurps and goes labour party, usurps and goes against the view of the clerk of the house of commons if he usurps normal democratic processes, its actually fundamentally damaging to our democracy , and our democracy is democracy, and our democracy is the ability to deal with these questions over cost of living, education and health. Chris you hang out in bolton. Thats your constituency. You will know that the people of bolton, those common sense northerners, will be watching this absolute rabble, the shower of shame in the house of commons on a night like that and thinking , on a night like that and thinking, why do i on a night like that and thinking , why do i bother voting thinking, why do i bother voting . Why do i bother . These people do not know what my life is like. They do not know that i dont particularly care about this sort of procedure process and this is why we have such terrible voter apathy, isnt it . Terrible voter apathy, isnt it . Well theres a responsibility on members of parliament. Theres also a responsibility on the media. If were going to go down that route. There are all sorts of debates in the house of commons which are barely touched by the barely touched upon by the media. If you want to have more in depth, focus on the steel industry, more in depth, focus on other matters and on so many other matters and children education, there is plenty of opportunity to have the media cover those issues because they are there. They are available in the house of commons and in Westminster Hall. If choose to have if the media choose to have other discussions, well, thats down. Down to you. Im talking about more when you all braying at each other and youre and cant and youre rude and you cant keep the speakers keep quiet, and the speakers trying people are trying to talk and people are shouting wouldnt shouting out, you wouldnt get away a classroom. And away with it in a classroom. And it the British Public cold. Well, again, um, if we look at, for example , prime at, for example, Prime Ministers question time or this really unusual event where sir keir starmer intervened on the, uh, the speaker of the house of commons to get him to manipulate the rules in labours favour. Yeah. Things like this will happen. But if you look at the vast majority of what members of parliament do, whether select parliament do, whether in select committees or Party Parliamentary groups , parliamentary groups, westminster in the Westminster Hall and yes, in the chamber of the house of commons, actually is positive. Actually much of it is positive. Much of it is uplifting. And yes, members of parliament do address concerns that address the concerns that constituents in bolton west and right around the country do have. Question the have. Its a question of how the media publish and broadcast. Chris, weve got 20s does the speaker go or does he stay . Speaker go or does he stay . Uh, its on a knife edge at the moment. Its very difficult questions. Uh, Scottish National party of purists, as are many conservative backbenchers. The conservative backbenchers. The labour party seem to be quite happy and content with it, which i tells everything. I think tells you everything. Okay, thanks much, chris okay, thanks so much, chris green there, conservative mp for bolton. Bolton west. Thanks for joining bolton west. Thanks forjoining us. Thanks forjoining us.

A Gaza Ceasefire motion. So they had hours of debate and arguing as usual, like they do. Tory and snp members left the floor in because the floor in protest because they speaker giving they saw the speaker giving preferential treatment, effectively to labour and not having control of the house. So far, 57 mps have now signed a no confidence vote in the speaker. Let me tell you, thatis the speaker. Let me tell you, that is a lot. But we frankly think the whole thing is an embarrassment. Yeah, lets what speaker yeah, lets hear what speaker lindsay said afterwards Lindsay Hoyle said afterwards was very emotional, actually , i was very emotional, actually, i am, and i regret with the deepness. With my sadness that it ended up on like that in this position. That was never my intention for it to end up like this. I was absolutely, absolutely convinced that the decision was done with the right intentions. Done with the right intentions. I recognise , i recognise the i recognise, i recognise the strength of feeling of members on this issue. Labour and of course we have to remind ourselves that the chief clerk, a very authoritative figure steeped in house of commons procedure , and told the speaker procedure, and told the speaker not only not to do this, but published his advice, saying so, which is pretty unprecedented. Thats tom goldsmith, the chief clerk, our political ednon chief clerk, our Political Editor, christopher hope, was there the commons last night. There in the commons last night. Chris, morning. This is makes Parliament Look a shambles , Parliament Look a shambles, frankly, which it was a day back. It parliament worse. It looks parliament is worse. People watching and listening are well who does does are thinking, well who does does the Israeli Government give a hoot anyway . Whether british hoot anyway . Whether British Parliament votes a ceasefire parliament votes for a ceasefire 7 parliament votes for a ceasefire . But as it happens, they never got a vote anyway. Got to a vote anyway. Andrew and bev morning. Its andrew and bev morning. Its all about the election. I mean , all about the election. I mean, gazais all about the election. I mean, gaza is a horrific it matters. Gaza is a horrific it matters. Weve seen our tv screens, but frankly, this motion put down by snp try and force labour mps to vote for its harder position on a Gaza Ceasefire, or of the governments softer one, was designed to embarrass labour, labour and the snp are battling for votes in the in scotland, and that was certainly not all about, but certainly part of why the this divisive the snp pushed this divisive motion on gaza. Try and see motion on gaza. Try and see whether labour mps would go for that and maybe have to resign their any frontbench positions that and maybe have to resign theiiembarrass ench positions that and maybe have to resign theiiembarrass sir h positions that and maybe have to resign theiiembarrass sir keirysitions that and maybe have to resign theiiembarrass sir keir starmer. And embarrass sir keir starmer. Lindsay hoyle stepped now Lindsay Hoyle stepped in. Now hes a decent man. Hes very well about mp safety. He knows the pressure mps locally. Well about mp safety. He knows the of essure mps locally. Well about mp safety. He knows the of the|re mps locally. Well about mp safety. He knows the of the pressure,s locally. Well about mp safety. He knows the of the pressure, the ally. Well about mp safety. He knows the of the pressure, the threats lot of the pressure, the threats we dont hear in the media because dont want to tell because mps dont want to tell us want encourage us they dont want to encourage it. Offer labour mps it. He tried to offer labour mps a third to vote for the a third option to vote for the partys position, an attempt to try and bring some pressure off them locally. Thats been seen as bad faith by the snp and the tories and theyve walked away and now , right now, pressure is and now, right now, pressure is building on sir Lindsay Hoyle to resign as we as we sit here, as you said there , 57 mps have you said there, 57 mps have backed this. Motion, this edm, backed this. Motion, this edm, which like a petition here in parliament for him saying theyve got no confidence in him. If you lose the confidence of the house of the commons, you resign in comparison, 22 signed an edm, a motion back in 2009. In Michael Martin, when you and in Michael Martin, when you and i were working on the mp expenses scandal back in the day, Andrew Pierce at the telegraph, he had gone within two days. Um, right now it looks like tory mps are leading the charge. All six officers of the 1922 committee of backbench tory mps signed the motion. In mps have signed the motion. In a quarter of the other executive members. A signal from members. That is a signal from the tory backbenches to their whips that they are not happy with Lindsay Hoyle, Lindsay Hoyle apart, they are not commenting on any meetings. Were waiting for him to meet with of the of with the chief whips of the of the main three parties here. The tories, labour and lib dems to reassure them he was acting in good faith. But this is good faith. But this story is rapidly escalating away from him at moment. We speak , as at the moment. As we speak, as i say, were they, were told by the Speakers Office moments say, were they, were told by the swelkers office moments say, were they, were told by the we are s office moments say, were they, were told by the we are s ofcommenting; ago, we are not commenting on pubuc ago, we are not commenting on public carrying public meetings. Hes carrying on business as usual. His friends tell us that he was thinking about the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying out the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to |t the safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to be 1e safety of mps friends tell us that he was thin trying to be had. Fety of mps friends tell us that he was thintrying to be had. Them mps and trying to be had. Them paramount in his mind. Paramount in his mind. And that, christopher, im sorry to interrupt you, but thats the bit that i think leaves me aghast that this idea that Lindsay Hoyle changed parliamentary procedure because he is concerned , in he is concerned, in collaboration with sir keir starmer , about the safety of mps starmer, about the safety of mps because islamist residents of this country have threatened them with violence if they dont vote in a certain way. In our democracy, that is historic. Democracy, that is historic. Bev, you are totally right and that is the concern of people like sir geoffrey cox, the former attorney general. He the former attorney general. He says either way , it was the says either way, it was the wrong choice to make , because if wrong choice to make, because if youre going to. The tories feel youre going to. The tories feel they are doing labour a favour. Theres claims denied by the Speakers Office of officers of offers, him having the offers, of him having the job after election. If he did this for that is denied the for him, that is denied by the Speakers Office. Take Speakers Office. If you take the at face. Value the speaker at at face. Value hes doing it to try and take pressure off the mps and that mp, tory mp tell me, is bowing to mob. Thats what people to the mob. Thats what people like sir geoffrey cox say. And thats the problem. That is a problem with the whole thing. I should there tom goldsmith, mentioned there tom goldsmith, the the commons the clerk of the commons publishing now, publishing his advice. Now, thats when the speaker thats because when the speaker became Lindsay Hoyle, became speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, he ever he departed he said that if ever he departed from from the advice of the clerks, he would publish the letter so although letter of the clerk. So although its a very rare he is doing, hes being as good as his word, as his word. When he became speaker um, just speaker back in 2019, um, just finally tom christopher, finally, tom christopher, the other. I mean, okay, hes other point. I mean, okay, hes concerned about labour and peace, safety. What about tory mps safety . What about liberal democrat mp safety, nationalist . What about liberal democrat mp salooks nationalist . What about liberal democrat mp salooks hes nationalist . What about liberal democrat mp salooks hes only. Ionalist . What about liberal democrat mp salooks hes only. Ionalis . It looks like hes only. This is the for sir lindsay the problem for sir Lindsay Hoyle. It looks like hes just acting for one side of the house, which is of course the side of the house. He comes from or did come from before it became independent. Of course, hes independent mp now in rochdale. Exactly of course, hes independent mp ncand rochdale. Exactly of course, hes independent mp ncand thatsiale. Exactly of course, hes independent mp ncand thats the exactly of course, hes independent mp ncand thats the problem. Right. And thats the problem. I mean this is disguising away from other big issues affecting the country at the moment. I heard you mention earlier the issue of office closures. Issue of post office closures. Now thats story which ive now thats a story which ive been writing about on the gb news website, because there is a secret plan discussed with the former chairman of post former chairman of the post Office Branches after office to close branches after after the government oversaw the jailing of unfairly, wrongly of subpostmasters. There are bigger issues at play. I think outside of where im standing in Westminster Hall, the problem is parliament occasionally turn parliament can occasionally turn it in on itself and thats what were seeing today. Mps are rowing about the authority of the speaker. Okay. Thank you. Christopher hope hall, hope there in Westminster Hall, very westminster if very iconic Westminster Hall, if you about what that you think about what that happened, that happened, the precedent that this particular issues this sets any particular issues to voted on might to be voted on which might include cultural or include any sort of cultural or religious element, it now means that people with a vested interest can pressure mps by the threats of violence to vote in a certain way, which is shocking because because this will then say, should they have more security . Should um, search should there, um, search surgery should not be advertised publicly because of course, david murdered at his david amess was murdered at his constituency tory constituency surgery. The tory mp protection . Do mp do they need protection . Do they need security . But im sorry, the speaker cannot bow to a baying mob. And change a baying mob. And change procedure because of that. That is not the way to govern, because of fear, because fear because of fear, because of fear of one particular group of very noisy, people. Of one particular group of very noi� yeah, people. Of one particular group of very noi� yeah, amazing. Eople. Of one particular group of very noi� were amazing. Eople. Of one particular group of very noi� were going ng. Eople. Of one particular group of very noi� were going ng. Talke. Little were going to talk a little Later Program duncan later in the program iain duncan smith. Former tory smith. Now hes the former tory leader us whether leader who will tell us whether he speaker should he thinks the speaker should continue not. Hear from continue or not. Well hear from him selling it on those kind of planes. Youre listening to gb news radio. Very good morning. Radio. Very good morning. Its 1117 with britains newsroom on gb news with Andrew Pearson bev turner. And ive just been swallowing a croissant, which actually is a story. Its relevant in a moment. Yes uh, Carole Malone is here. And also Nichi Hodgson. Ladies, thank you so much for coming us. What do you ladies, thank you so much for comi|to us. What do you ladies, thank you so much for comi|to start us. What do you ladies, thank you so much for comi|to start with,. What do you ladies, thank you so much for comi|to start with, carol . Do you ladies, thank you so much for comi|to start with, carol . This, u want to start with, carol . This, um, just about um, well, lets just talk about whats on in the whats been going on in the house yes. House of commons. Yes. Got up to 57 tory and weve got up to 57 tory mps, 87 mps. Mp5, 87 mp5. Mean, know, and tory, i mean, you know, and tory, since weve this morning since weve come in this morning , ten. , its gone up by ten. An hour and that was like an hour and a bit ago. So yeah, i think he, i think has to go now. Think he probably has to go now. You just you know, we were talking just before michael when before about Michael Martin when he he only had 25. Um, no he went, he only had 25. Um, no comments. And he was advised to go gordon brown. So suspect comments. And he was advised to go go. Rdon brown. So suspect comments. And he was advised to go go. But brown. So suspect comments. And he was advised to go go. But whats. So suspect comments. And he was advised to go go. But whats reallysuspect hell go. But whats really bugging me about this , and i bugging me about this, and i think a lot of people out there dont really care much about the intricacies of parliamentary procedure. However, theyve touched on before, she touched on it before, and she was about fact that, was talking about the fact that, you have a we know if you know, we have a we know if our parliament is going to bow down to pressure from islamists in this country. And, you know, if our mps are being threatened by islamist deal with those islamists, dont bring it into parliament, dont change parliamentary procedure. And if parliamentary procedure. And if they can, you know, and i think i saw one tory today in the paper saying, now weve got a target on our backs as well. Yeah. So all right. So to, to, to change the rules to protect labour. Labour the party, tory mps. Well and the party, tory mps. Well and the exactly. The party, tory mps. Well and the thats, exactly. The party, tory mps. Well and the thats, thatsactly. The party, tory mps. Well and the thats, thats why and thats, thats why i think everyone is so furious about this because they realise. About this because they realise. The consequences that, you know, i think to rig a motion is, is probably too far to go. But however he changed motion and probably too far to go. But horchanged changed motion and probably too far to go. But horchanged procedure motion and probably too far to go. But horchanged procedure for tion and probably too far to go. But horchanged procedure for afterand he changed procedure for after talking after. Talking talking privately after. Talking to the opposition and he talked privately to keir starmer outside , he has denied talking outside, he has denied talking to who was lurking in to sue gray, who was lurking in the corridors. Who was starmers chief of staff, was starmers chief staff, who was starmers chief of so it all looks murky. And so it all looks murky. And stinky and not quite right. And its certainly not parliamentary procedure. Procedure. Nicky. This idea, though, of, um, transplanting middle eastern tensions, which are profound and decades old in to the middle of our democracy london, find our democracy in london, i find that chilling. That deeply chilling. Well, i see it from the perspective of still being a global power, and therefore we have a in my opinion, we have a duty to help. And i actually think its quite shocking that it descended into the chaos it did, because therell be loads of people who would have been hanging that, watching what hanging on that, watching what was and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there going and hoping hanging on that, watching what was there going and hmore that there was going to be more aid going to be aid and there was going to be more pressure for a ceasefire. So i actually see kind of the other way around in a way, bev, because we have because i just think we do have a responsibility to help. Nikki, been but, nikki, weve been influenced by violent islamists here. Yeah, i agree. Well, i agree, and how do that . And how do we do about that . Well, i agree you know, well, i agree because, you know, i had this very personal, uh, incident happen to me where there a palestinian put there was a palestinian flag put outside my house on christmas, Christmas Day night by somebody in i was personally in a mask. And i was personally targeted i complained targeted because i complained about in about palestinian flags in the area not fair. Area because its not fair.

And it doesnt have to be like yeah, really like this. Yeah, and that really gets into division. Absolutely. Its its pushing me its forced. Its pushing me over that dont want over to a side that i dont want to in. Almost. Do you know to be in. Almost. Do you know what i mean. I do, i do. Yeah i do, i do. It is hard. Yeah i do, i do. Itsit is hard. Yeah i do, i do. Its reallyird. Yeah i do, i do. Its really is. Yeah i do, i do. Its really is um what else are going to talk here . Are we going to talk about here . Well we crisis idleness. Poll obsession . Is this a poll obsession . This health. This is health. This is this is in, um. Yes. This is this is in, um. In in, uh, pearces paper today, and its, uh, matt goodwin. And its, uh, matt goodwin. Professor. I didnt know he was a professor, yeah he a professor, actually. Yeah he is, hes brought out is, um, hes hes brought out this report. I cant find this this report. I cant find my notes on it, and its. And hes how mental hes talking about how Mental Health issues. Um are taking over young. People today between over young. People today between 18 and, like, 34. And hes saying, you know, what hes basically you basically saying is that, you know, what is know, problems of what is happening is problems of anxiety, are anxiety, which we all have are now being conflated with Mental Health and so, so young Health Issues and so, so young people arent working. Theres people arent working. Theres Something Like 560,000 young people, not working, and theyve been theyve cited Mental Health issues as a reason for them not working. Now, that is shocking. Working. Now, that is shocking. In that age group of people. And in that age group of people. And i and i think this is the problem now, isnt it, with young people . We are it starts in school where they are shielded from everything that they dont like to to see they dont like to hear, to see or have trigger or whatever they have trigger warnings so by warnings on everything. So by the time they get outside into the time they get outside into the theyre the workplace, theyre not resilient. Terrified of resilient. Theyre terrified of everything. And so whats happening is theyre terrified of the workplace. They of the workplace. They dont want to into workplace. Want to go into the workplace. And something these and Something Like these personal payments, personal independence payments, pip payments. Tens of thousands pip payments. Tens of thousands of those are paid to young people between 18 and 30. What are these . Their payments that you get if you have social phobia problems, if you actually originally it wasnt that though, there were serious disabilities. You know, people who couldnt live basically without help. I mean, i think biggest mean, i think the biggest problem is someone that problem for me is someone that has illness problem for me is someone that hethat illness problem for me is someone that hethat were illness problem for me is someone that hethat were conflating illness problem for me is someone that hethat were conflating mental is that were conflating Mental Wellness with mental illness. Yeah, exactly. And we dont talk about the really serious issues. Like i had psychosis, which happens to in people in happens to 1 in 100 people in this we never talk this country. We never talk about its terrifying. You about it. Its terrifying. You basically everything basically believe everything thats brain thats going mad in your brain is and a is happening, and you are a danger yourself normally. And danger to yourself normally. And danger to yourself normally. And danger people. Danger to other people. And i was that was very lucky that i was actually in australia, actually sectioned in australia, where treated and cared where i was treated and cared for and if id have been section two, dont think id. I would two, i dont think id. I would have ever have got better because of mental because of the state of Mental Health care. Thats another story. Saying story. But the reason im saying this there are some this is because there are some very conditions that we very serious conditions that we need but telling need to treat, but telling everybody this everybody that they have this kind level and kind of low level anxiety and therefore deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit,e deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, thats deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, thats not deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, thats not healthy. Deal kind of low level anxiety and thereit, thats not healthy. Andl with it, thats not healthy. And it starts schools because with it, thats not healthy. And it stehave schools because with it, thats not healthy. And it stehave mentals because in they have Mental Health week in school, have school, and my girls have both of have back at of them have come back at different times and said, mummy , different times and said, mummy, i i should have i feel like i should have a Mental Health condition because weve it all week weve talked about it all week and is this is a problem. And this is this is a problem. This was a thing. I got my fingers now it says last year1 or 3 personal independent payments thats payments. Um, for and thats anxiety social phobia. So yes people are living on benefits because they have social phobia and stress. And this is young this is the department of work and pensions. Its work pension. But what you should be asking is who questions it. So if you go and say to someone, ive a mental someone, ive got a Mental Health issue, are so health issue, people are so societally now were too terrified to argue with that in case they often dont have a diagnosis. You can have a self diagnosis for something i dont know if you have that for pip. I you can have that for pip. I mean, the thing would say is, mean, the thing i would say is, you have friend you know, i have a good friend that receives because shes that receives it because shes autistic and its absolutely vital. Its a complete lifeline for how she can for her. It changes how she can live. And you know, there is. And then, course, this is you live. And you know, there is. And thhat course, this is you live. And you know, there is. And thhat cou1is� , this is you live. And you know, there is. And thhat cou1is saying, you live. And you know, there is. And thhat cou1is saying, that know what carol is saying, that people really need it people that do really need it are risk of it taken are at risk of having it taken away too money away because too much money is going the going in the wrong places.

Interesting because some its interesting because some people this might people thought, oh, this might blow clearly blow over, but clearly its gaining im gaining momentum. What im interested his claim that interested in is his claim that he was doing this to protect the safety of mps , because if that safety of mps, because if that is true , then our democracy is is true, then our democracy is giving to extremists, and giving way to extremists, and thatis giving way to extremists, and that is absolutely outrageous. That is absolutely outrageous. I think Suella Braverman was right when she spoke about the intimidation of mps and the rise of extremism. Going of extremism. Were going to be tacklingits a really, really and its a really, really thorny issue because its the speakers saying, on the one hand that this is because of all of this intimidation from mps. But on the other hand, there are credible saying that the credible voices saying that the labour all of this labour party put all of this pressure on the speaker , saying, pressure on the speaker, saying, were going to get rid of your job after the election. Were going to boot out unless you going to boot you out unless you do what we say. And thats also, i reckon theres bit both. I reckon theres a bit of both.

So the king met with the Prime Minister face to face for the first time yesterday, following diagnosis. The first time yesterday, following the diagnosis. The first time yesterday, following the meeting|gnosis. The first time yesterday, following the meeting. Nosis. The first time yesterday, following the meeting. Itsis. The first time yesterday, following the meeting. Its the during the meeting. Its the audience, of course, the king. King charles wrote. Had king charles wrote. He had been moved the sheer moved to tears by the sheer volume get messages and volume of get well messages and cards received the cards hes received from the public. A at public. Lets take a look at their exchange. Their exchange. The Prime Minister your majesty. Majesty. Good evening, your majesty. Good evening, your majesty. Good evening, your majesty. Very nice to see you. And wonderful. Well, yeah, but wonderful. Well, yeah, but wonderful. Well, yeah, but wonderful. Wonderful to see you wonderful. Wonderful to see you looking so well. Looking so well. Was all done by mirrors really . Well were all. Were all behind you. The were all behind you. The country is behind you. I know , country is behind you. I know, because ive had so many wonderful messages and cameras. And you can imagine. Excuse and you can imagine. Excuse me to tears mostly. Wow. I can imagine, but its. I can imagine, but no, its. Everyone behind you. And its everyone is behind you. And its also , its been nice to see the also, its been nice to see the spotlight that its shone on the work that charities do in this area. Which which im sure. Area. Which which im sure. Youre be happy about, because i hear that theres been a lot more attention interest on the theres main wonderful Cancer Charities , many which ive been charities, many which ive been patron of years and they do incredible work up and down the country. They do well. Country. They do well. Well, that was an insight into one of the most awkward encounters ive ever is. And its very unusual for it to be filmed. But that is another the wants another sign that the king wants to we know every time another sign that the king wants to come we know every time another sign that the king wants to come back know every time another sign that the king wants to come back from every time another sign that the king wants to come back from sandringham , hes come back from sandringham, hes come back from sandringham, hes in that daimler where hes in that big daimler where we see him. Charles is we can see him. Charles rae is an expert on all things royal. The former royal editor the the former royal editor of the sun, charles that was bit sun, charles um, that was a bit excruciating, lets excruciating, wasnt it . Lets be honest, i mean , be honest, charles. I mean, small talk between the Prime Minister king. Not easy. Minister and the king. Not easy. Clearly, theyve only just been given the script and theyre just just quickly memorised it. But it was it was nice to see, as you quite rightly say, andrew, its not something that we normally see that sort occasion and that that sort of occasion and it was nice to see, uh, them together and, you know, clearly the king is looking quite well. The king is looking quite well. Um, hes looking very well, in fact. Um, hes looking very well, in fact. I um, hes looking very well, in fact. I mean, hes come up with his usual few jokes. Its, you know, its all done by mirrors and that sort stuff, uh, and all that sort of stuff, uh, sort does say, but, sort of thing. He does say, but, uh , i think hes genuine when he uh, i think hes genuine when he says hes clearly touched and close to tears with that amount of messages. Hes received in letters, cards and everything else. Uh, and it just shows that there is a great deal of love out there for him in this country. You know, despite the critics and cynics about the royal family so do you think that then was inspired by king charles as the filming of that as opposed to the Prime Minister yeah, i think it was. I think it was inspired by the im pretty sure it was inspired by the king, because if the king hadnt the king, because if the king hadnt agreed to it, then it would, uh, it wouldnt have happened. I just think he happened. And i just think he wanted that. Wanted to show people that. Look, still got look, you know, ive still got the cancer. Im fighting hard against it. And, you know, im bouncing back, and, you know, this is the first time hes seen sunak this year. Um although he has kept up to date with the various red boxes. And he also various red boxes. And he also had a privy Council Meeting on tuesday, tuesday night, a to face face privy Council Meeting. So hes slowly getting back to work. And as we all know as well work. And as we all know as well that he is still working hard on various documents. And, uh, he various documents. And, uh, he has had some zoom meetings with various people. So hes not sitting back and relaxing , uh, sitting back and relaxing, uh, you know, with his pipe and slippers. I mean, he doesnt smoke. That was just a phrase. Sorry, but what we dont know, charles, is if the treatment is ongoing, and it may be for know. He coming be for all we know. Is he coming back bit too soon . Not a back a bit too soon . Hes not a young anymore. Hes 75. To young man anymore. Hes 75. To be honest. Doesnt look healthy. I dont think, uh, i think hes coming back with doctors advice. I dont think he is breaking that advice. I think hes making sure that if the doctors say its okay for him to meet sunak and do the privy council and so forth, then he will carry on. As we all know, andrew, he is a workaholic. He does. He does. He detests sitting around and doing nothing. So. So, um, yeah, hes nothing. So. So, um, yeah, hes ive seen him look better in that short snippet you showed earlier on, but hes, he is back and hes full of praise. And i think also as well, one of the insights that we see as well is the praise for the various Cancer Charities , which clearly Cancer Charities, which clearly are getting a lot of, uh, traffic from various people, given whats happened to the king. And there people are checking , you know, various checking, you know, various forms of what they think might be wrong. So thats a good thing. Thats a positive thing. Thing. Thats a positive thing. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Im just going say, im just going to say, charles, hell charles, do you think hell reply lot of those reply to most a lot of those letters himself . I well think its in the i well i think its in the thousands. Id be very surprised if hes been able sit down, if hes been able to sit down, evenin if hes been able to sit down, even in his spidery hand. Yes. Even in his spidery hand. Yes. Quite right. Even in his spidery hand. Yes. Quite right. Right. Uh, you know, i think , you know, so know, i think, you know, so i think thats one of the reasons why hes able to come out in, you know, something fixed like this and say, look, thanks very much. You really touched me. You much. You really touched me. You brought me close to tears. Im really grateful for your all. Your all your support. Okay. Lovely. Thanks, okay. Lovely. Thanks, charles. Charles rea, there. Charles. Charles rea, there. Thank you. Uh, giving us the insight on that. Lets just have a little of what youve been a little bit of what youve been saying home. Its just a little bit of what youve been saying home. Itsjust such a little bit of what youve been saying home. Its just such a saying at home. Its just such a busy today the commons busy show today on the commons chaos andrew, who chaos last night, andrew, who said spoke said starmer recently spoke about work to about how he would work to restore in restore the trust of citizens in parliament. Wonder he parliament. I wonder if he now thinks hes accomplishing thinks that hes accomplishing this alan give the this, alan says. Give the speaker a break. Hes a good speaken speaker a break. Hes a good speaker. Despite being a labour supporter actions were supporter and his actions were carried the right carried out for the right reasons. I think youre right, alan, that he looked alan, in that he looked emotional he said, ive emotional and he said, ive tried right tried to do this for the right reasons. To in protect mps reasons. As to in protect mps from threats of violence from islamic extremists. But that surely cant be the right reason under any circumstance. So this will encourage the islamic extremists to do it, threaten even more because if they get a vote in the commons changed, well , lets threaten changed, well, lets threaten even thats problem. Even more. Thats the problem. Its wedge. Its thin end of the wedge. This country should mike says this country should care parliamentary care about parliamentary procedure. This evolved over procedure. This has evolved over hundreds of years to give credence our great democracy. Credence to our great democracy. But what country doesnt but what this country doesnt deserve incompetent, deserve is incompetent, self serving who self serving politicians who cant and dont respect the people who put them there. Nicely put mike. The thing was so the whole thing was so unedifying wasnt now, um, unedifying, wasnt it . Now, um, uh, still to we are uh, lets still to come. We are going to be 58 mps now. Have signed confidence motion in signed a no confidence motion in lindsay hall. Were going be lindsay hall.

Hell tell why with britains tell us why you with britains newsroom on. Gb news, you newsroom on. Gb news, you wouldnt expect a former tory leader to turn it. Yeah. Earlier on gb news radio we just want to talk to the minister for women, Maria Caulfield, who joins us now. Good to see you this morning. And i know theres issues you want about, which we want to talk about, which we will ive got to will come to. But ive got to ask about certificate. Youre listening to tv news, radio. Welcome back. Its nearly 10 to 12 now. Locals in a small town in cumbria are up in arms at plans to house Asylum Seekers whilst they say theyre in the middle of a housing shortage , middle of a housing shortage, theyre not alone, are they . Because this is happening all over the country. Didnt we discover any last week or the week before . Homes week before . 16,000 homes now being asylum being allocated for Asylum Seekers . I think 1. 2 Million People on the Council House waiting in this seaside people on the Council House waitirof in this seaside people on the Council House waitirof millom 1is seaside people on the Council House waitirof millom , s seaside people on the Council House waitirof millom , eight;ide people on the Council House waitirof millom , eight properties town of millom, eight properties have been set aside. Theyre going to be converted for 40 asylum nice too. Asylum seekers, very nice too. Lets talk to our north so lets talk to our north west reporter, sophie rohypnol, who millom with the latest who is in millom with the latest. Sophie, just explain us if. Sophie, just explain to us if you would, what what kind of houses are they . Whats the area. And 40 people doesnt necessarily sound like that many. So why are the locals so upset . Well, 7 well, 21st question . Well, 21st question initially there bev, weve been on the street this morning where those proposed hmos are would be if the plans were to go through. The plans were to go through. They have now been paused due to the outcry from the local community. Theyre just simple terraced houses that would then be converted into hmos, which is otherwise known as housing with multiple occupants. For any of our viewers who arent aware of that, that terminology , we in that, that terminology, we in terms of why theres been such outcry , essentially, this is outcry, essentially, this is a very small Rural Community population of around 5700 people. So really, really small condensed. Theyre concerned, condensed. Theyre concerned, i believe , having spoken to some believe, having spoken to some of the local residents, this morning, as well as the mayor and the leader of the town council, theyre concerned about the on their the impact on their infrastructure. The they really infrastructure. The they really dont lot around here. We dont have a lot around here. We struggled this morning to go live because the signal was so poon live because the signal was so poor. That tells you how poor. That just tells you how small and how cut off this community is. So i think theyre concerned about the appropriateness of welcoming in anyone on whether or not that would be an Asylum Seeker or not. This, as i say this morning we spoke to the leader of the of Millom Town Council , we spoke to the leader of the of Millom Town Council, and this is what he had to say. If the public had an outcry to this, you know, theres potential for as many as 40 properties in millom that would have heading down this have been heading down this hmo route , and thats totally route, and thats totally inappropriate for a town of this size. Its a small, rural, size. Its a small , rural, isolated its a small, rural, isolated town. Poor transport links. This town. Poor transport links. This has its own issues and problems, has its own issues and problems, has a shortage of rental rented accommodation. Anyway you know, weve got families that arent able to find a home to live in, in millom. Now of course it is in millom. Now of course it is the government, the home office who are responsible for housing Asylum Seekers. So gb news have spoken to the home office and this is what they had to say. We have always been upfront about the unprecedented pressure being put on our asylum system, brought about by a significant increase in dangerous and illegal journeys into the country over recent years. The home office has a statutory duty to provide safe and secure housing for Asylum Seekers, and we are continuing to work closely with local authorities, including here in millom, to manage any impact in the area and address local concerns. Now, i think a based on what we just heard from the leader of the town council there, that that isnt something that they would with. That they would agree with. In fact, they only found fact, they say they only found out about the proposed plans when one the local residents when one of the local residents asked the builder next door about what they were i about what they were doing. So i think theres been a real air of mystery, and that is perhaps whats put the people of millom, thats whats put backs up thats whats put their backs up about these proposed hmos. About these proposed hmos. And sophie, just to be clear, so the moment, theyve had to so at the moment, theyve had to change their because of change their plans because of pressure community. At the minute, theyve had to pause their plans. So there is a meeting happening here in millom tonight around 6 00, where that will be discussed. I believe the local mp is going to be present and theyve worked closely with the Community Action group as well as the council and the Mayors Office to try and try and understand, first of all, what was proposed and how they can move forward with whats best for the people of millom. Best for the people of millom. Okay. Thank you so much, Sophie Sophie reaper there. Millom. Isnt appalling . Find default. They find out by default. Yes, councillors have to take people with them theyre people with them if theyre going change local going to change local communities. Its happening all communities.
