The government says the former Prime Ministers budget wasnt to blame for higher prices , but the labour higher prices, but the labour leader says this plan will bring stability to britains economy.

Already other people are coming out, you know, former permanent secretaries, leading economists , saying this leading economists, saying this is a good idea for the stability of our economy. But this is focussed on working people and the pain that theyve been through because of that disastrous mini budget just a year ago, an.

Sir keir starmer said he didnt want to diverge from eu rules, arguing that the uk and brussels should have a future together. Shadow brussels should have a future together. Shadow financial secretary james murray told gb news earlier the labour leader was referring to certain eu rules. I think what he was talking about was about the fact that we have no interest in watering down uk standards when that comes to things like Consumer Protection on workers rights , protection on workers rights, food standards and so on. You know, thats what he was talking about and he was talking about that very clearly in the context of our red lines when it comes to our relationship with the eu , you know, and those red lines are not rejoining the are around not rejoining the Single Market or the Customs Union and not bringing back freedom movement.

Weve got tens of thousands of people working on the project, really opening up parts of deprived parts of north london and parts of central birmingham. If you go there, you can see the transformational effect that it is happening, but its right also that the government ensures that all of these big projects are looked at properly in the round and that costs are kept under control. The chancellor says its very difficult decisions that will make tax cuts virtually impossible. Some of jeremy hunfs impossible. Some of jeremy hunts party colleagues, including former Prime Minister liz truss, are reportedly pushing for tax relief after better than expected economic news.

Whats on your mind tonight . Can in touch tonight . You can get in touch with me all the usual ways. Vaiews gbnews. Com or you can tweet me at gb news news lots coming up. If you just joined us, i want to talk to you. Theres quite a mixed bag tonight. I want to ask you a very important question. Do you very important question. Do you think a murderer should ever be allowed to remain anonymous . Allowed to remain anonymous . This interesting this this is an interesting one. This in particular, talking about in particular, im talking about a a 16 year old boy a case where a 16 year old boy has well , he a case where a 16 year old boy has well, he pled guilty. Hes been charged for murder. Hes got an anonymity order, though. Is that fair . You get in touch and tell me. I also want to talk to you about Council Rules and the king and other stuff. Im sure between but now, sure in between. But for now, lets off politics, lets kick off with politics, shall we . Because Conference Season is, of course, upon us. The lib dems going first. Theyre starting theirs tomorrow in bournemouth in case youre interested. Got me interested. And it got me wondering important do you wondering how important do you think the lib dems are to the uk Political Landscape shape . How much of an impact do you think that they will have in the next general election, particularly when we consider things like tactical voting . Because lets tactical voting . Because lets face it, a lot of people now dont like labour, the dont like tories and theyre going to be the other be quite tactical or the other way. Really love tories or way. They really love tories or they love labour. So they they really love labour. So they want to do some kind of manipulation to either get someone someone out. Someone and or keep someone out. What lib dems . What do you make to lib dems . Well, truth about the lib well, the truth about the lib dems is theyve always been for years. Now recipient of the now the recipient of the reject of people who are now the recipient of the reje unhappy f people who are now the recipient of the reje unhappy with ople who are now the recipient of the reje unhappy with the who are now the recipient of the reje unhappy with the main are not unhappy with the main parties. That that in parties. So that means that in order to maximise that rubbish vote, they will say anything to anyone time in order to anyone at any time in order to persuade them that theyre on their side and they generally excite disgust amongst serious politicians , both conservative politicians, both conservative and labour. I think its fair to say. I dont think its harsh at all. I think weve seen them do it the whole time, but there was always one thing you could say about the lib dems that you could rely on them for. You could rely on them for. You could always believe that they were going to be party that were going to be the party that wanted be a member of the wanted us to be a member of the european union, except i see that today they seem to have ditched as well. So ditched that as well. So basically we vote lib dem vote for anything you imagine. Vote for anything you imagine. Vote for , look in the mirror and you for, look in the mirror and you get a lucky dip is what youre saying. You vote lib dem. Not even a lucky dip. Kevin, what do you lucky dip. Kevin, what do you make of it . I enjoyed that. Its very good to back with daniel. Good to be back with daniel. There no missed you, im there are no missed you, im sure. There no lib sure. Yeah, there are no lib dems to defend themselves. Dems here to defend themselves. Michelle lets a michelle so lets, lets take a look at question. Currently look at your question. Currently todays polls, theyre todays opinion polls, theyre 12 voting intention. So 12 of our voting intention. So theres of people in this theres a lot of people in this country who are lib dem supporters. Theyve only got 15 mps. Thats up from 11 at the election. Theyve won four by elections. They used to have, believe it or not, 57, which is almost 10 of westminster. Believe it or not, 57, which is almost 10 of westminster. So almost 10 of westminster. So they are a Serious Party in british politics and they could prove hugely influential, is my answer to your question. Then i will say in my 17 years as a councillor , the nasty iest, councillor, the nasty iest, nastiest elections i fought were laboun nastiest elections i fought were labour. Lib dem elections. Actually i found them to be very aggressive. Live campaigners and aggressive. Live campaigners and aggressive. Live campaigners and a lot of people in the labour party say that, but they are significa arent. Theyre lucky though. They dont have to present a consistent narrative in my experience across the country, ive often found that theyll present one thing in one part the country where they part of the country where they want the tories and then want to beat the tories and then somewhere where its a lib somewhere else where its a lib dem they can be dem labour fight. They can be different, so its easier. As daniel phrased it more kindly. He even i managed to beat the lib dems at the last. Even you even i hell managed to beat even even i hell managed to beat the lib dems at the last election. Ive got to say, just on that point about abuse and stuff, i obviously ran stuff, because i obviously ran against parties and against all the parties and i always that you were always found that you were appreciate this, but the majority of the abuse that i received was almost exclusively from campaign chairs. From Labour Campaign chairs. I remember i remember those elections very, very well. They were nasty , personal, just were nasty, personal, just nastiness. Ive never really understood. Why cant you just understood. Why cant you just compete against someone on an equal footing when you need to restart resorting to personal attacks and trying to undermine people the rest of it to people and all the rest of it to me, youre losing the battle a little because your little bit because your policies, your politics and your personality win personality really should win the you anyway. You the battle for you anyway. You talk dems whether talk about lib dems and whether or not people take them seriously. So if we look at some of the last by elections so youve tiverton and honiton youve got tiverton and honiton lib dems overturned what i think was one of the biggest ever tory majorities was 24,000. In somerton and frome again overturned a massive tory majority. So there really socked it to you guys at those by elections. They did. And i suspect the fact that kevin is basically agreeing with me, but in much kinder and gentler terms shows how the labour party is preparing for some sort of coalition with the lib dems after the next generation. Nice try. Nice try. Daniel nice try. Nice try. Daniel what sort of show . Total what sort of show . Total shady deal. Listen, my friend. Shady deal. Listen, my friend. Listen, listen pal. Listen, listen, listen pal. Listen, listen. Rumble that pal over there of liz truss and boris, his party was in coalition with the lib dems from 2010 to 2015. Never mind throwing coalitions over at us when we when we learned our lessons. Learned our lessons. You see about all of that. You see about all of that. Nice to hear. Nice to hear. Its true in byelections. People get angry very often with the government and if they get the government and if they get the chance to throw out the government candidate, they do. And liberal democrats are and the liberal democrats are very where they turn to. Very often where they turn to. There is a greater sense of tactical voting going on, certainly in those by elections, whether that carries through to the general election , well see the general election, well see may well do. And the liberal may well do. And the liberal democrats could be the beneficiary of that. But as always, they benefit from never having their fundamentally , they having their fundamentally, they are not serious because they never normally expect to have power. So they feel that they power. So they feel that they can be they can behave frivolously about important political decisions to and their credit, my experience of the labour party is they dont do that because the labour party know that they could be in power, be it in your local authority or at the country at large. And they they take take large. And they they take take it seriously. Are there any lib dem supporters of voters out there . What do you think to what youre heanng . What do you think to what youre hearing . Get in touch and tell me what do you think to this nofion me what do you think to this notion of tactical voting and particularly, know these particularly, you know these really well organised and publicised campaigns . Theres publicised campaigns . Theres something about me that sorry, something about me that sorry, something about me that sorry, something about that that makes me a little bit uneasy. I think. Should be legal to try and. Should it be legal to try and manipulate in this way to manipulate voting in this way to affect an outcome, is that democratic . I dont know. You tell me. I think its very democratic, michel. Its about making every vote count and there are a lot of these organisations in existence. And i think its not manipulative, manipulative is an interesting word. Everybodys trying to manipulate the results of elections into their own interests. Conservative party, laboun interests. Conservative party, labour, snp, lib dems, they want to win, but we also have an issue in this country where every vote doesnt count and in in some areas where the outcome is tiny. You know, historically you had mps winning a seat with like 32 of the vote and two in other candidates on 29. And actually those two other candidates were philosophically and politically more aligned. But you almost but is that you almost supporting then a change, get away with first past the post and move to proportional representation. Would you agree with . Would you agree with . Well, personally, i think pr needs to be looked at because i dont think every vote counts in this country. And whilst i dont agree with your colleague nigel farage, and i dont like anything he stands for politically, do you think it makes sense that theres never been a member of parliament representing his ideas . I mean. Representing his ideas . I mean. Well, no. And a lot of people will say because a lot of people will say, oh, michel, you had a referendum, didnt we, about av back in . Ill probably get my year wrong because going year wrong because im going from memory. I think it was about something about 2014. Was it Something Like 2014 or 2011 . Like that . Was it 2014 or 2011 . Anyway, we had had this anyway, we had we had this referendum course people referendum and of course people then voted against it and people were throw that at me and were throw that back at me and say, obviously the country didnt we had didnt want it, but then we had that where ukip got it, that election where ukip got it, got millions of votes, didnt it . And it only had the one seat that was the defection. I think it douglas carswell. I do it was douglas carswell. I do say doing this from my say im doing all this from my memory, but pretty certain memory, but im pretty certain its think that its right. And i think that woke lot of people to the woke up a lot of people to the fact actually, how can you fact that actually, how can you have a party with millions of votes . To point, votes . And to your point, literally if any, at literally hardly any, if any, at all, representation within parliament . Well, i dont agree with all this. First past the this. I think first past the post a very fair system post is a very fair system because every does count. Because every vote does count. It doesnt does count it doesnt it does count in your constituency. For the constituency. You vote for the candidate you think is the best. We dont vote for parties in this country. Its not in our legal system. Its not in our constitute ation. We for constitute ation. We vote for individuals us individuals to represent us locally and you vote for the person you think is best. Now, in that i do think youre going to see inevitably you will see some sort of tactical voting. And i have no objection to that as a matter of principle. So id as a matter of principle. So id say that is part of the system, if you like. But every vote does count. Itsjust if you like. But every vote does count. Its just that not every voter gets the candidate and representative they want because some people lose. Thats part of being an election. But in some people lose. Thats part of being an election. But in pr systems , you vote for a party systems, you vote for a party and then the parties go off into and then the parties go off into a back room and they they cobbled together some sort of government on a half manifesto. Youve never seen before. All donein youve never seen before. All done in smoke filled rooms or not so much smoke filled nowadays, but back rooms. And, nowadays, but back rooms. And, you know, its really corrupt. Yeah, well, its corrupt. Its not. Daniel the thing id say to finish on that is that we have had conservative led government for so long in this country and your party doesnt actually. Yes. You run under our actually. Yes. You run under our Current System fair and square. Absolutely but youre not. We havent had Representative Government that reflects what a majority of the people in this country want. And i always see what happens is when a party wins power, it then goes actually , the rules are fine, actually, the rules are fine, well keep it like this, which is what the labour did is what the labour party did last time. And i do hope if keir starmer is granted the privilege of country he of leading this country ever, he takes different approach. But takes a different approach. But thats personal. Hes not going to. You said hes not going to. You said hes not going to. Im just saying what my personal is. Personal view is. Go, what do you makes well, i go, what do you makes were all at home actually. People are disagreeing with some of youre saying, saying people are disagreeing with some of absolutely. |ying, saying people are disagreeing with some of absolutely. Gavinsaying that. Absolutely. Gavin from darlington lib darlington says, yes, the lib dems Serious Party and dems are a Serious Party and therefore they there for the therefore they are there for the people do not want a labour people that do not want a labour or tory government. Someone else is making the point some is making the point about some of smaller parties joined of the smaller parties joined forces rather than fragmenting all of votes you might have all of the votes you might have all of the votes you might have a country that perhaps reflects peoples wants and desires a little bit more. Give your little bit more. Give me your thoughts that. I want thoughts on all of that. I want to to you next about to talk to you next about councils. Do you rate your local councils. Do you rate your local council . Do pay your Council Council . Do you pay your council tax feel you value tax and feel that you get value for money . Do you trust the people running them and think that actually know what that they actually know what theyre doing and they are spending fairly properly . Theyre doing and they are spe|asking3irly properly . Theyre doing and they are spe|asking because properly . Theyre doing and they are spe|asking because yet 3erly . Theyre doing and they are spe|asking because yet another im asking because yet another council to go bankrupt. Council looks to go bankrupt. Whats going. Youre listening to gb news radio. On mark dolan tonight. In radio. On mark dolan tonight. In my opinion, rishi sunaks u turn on net zero will be his falklands moment and could win him the next election. In my him the next election. In my take at ten, bbc presenter Chris Packham supports breaking the law to save the planet. My response and should king charles stay out of the climate debate .

Im Michelle Dewberry with you till 7 00 tonight. The conservative life peerin tonight. The conservative life peer in the house of lords, Daniel Moylan on the ceo of ler, kevin craig. Do i trust the lib dems . Says george. What the lib dems . Says george. What a question. Of course not. Theyre politicians and you cannot trust any of them, he says. They prove that to us. Repeatedly called blimey george a harsh, harsh man. David says , a harsh, harsh man. David says, please, can you ask the lib dems how they can possibly call themselves democrats when they dont receive the brexit votes . Youre saying again, theres that sense actually, of trusting politicians that is coming through a lot actually, that people do feel a little bit disconnected and let down, perhaps with politicians of all stripes. Keep your thoughts coming in. Lots of love for you guys. Coming in. Lots of love for you guys. Lots of coming in. Lots of love for you guys. Lots of emails as well saying welcome back to you. Thats nice. Thats thats my auntie and uncle michelle. Is it. Oh, is it . Well ian, for example, hes very pleased to see both you as is david. And ill get some more as well because yeah, lots of people getting in touch tonight. And now lets talk councils. Medway council is latest Council Council is the latest council now the alarm that now to raise the alarm that their potentially have their potentially we might have to declare bank dropsy, ive got to declare bank dropsy, ive got to say. Right you say the sentence now and its almost becoming the norm because at least now , many in least 26 councils now, many in britains most deprived areas are indeed on the cusp of or some of them already have declared bankruptcy. Now, i just want to make something absolutely clear right . This is not all Labour Councils are doing this or all Tory Councils are doing that. This is like right across the board. Really. I can bring up a couple of some of the latest examples and as you its quite a mixed you will see, its quite a mixed bag. I think it spans most of the Political Landscape. Your laboun the Political Landscape. Your labour, lib dem, conservative and so on. So this seems to be something right across the board. Ill start with you, though, daniel. Whats going on . Well the thing is, its actually rather different from one place to another. Whats going on . So you take birmingham, the biggest council in country, i the in the country, and i think the biggest council in europe, actually. And take actually. Yeah. And you take birmingham, themselves birmingham, they got themselves into tangle years into a dreadful tangle years ago. Now, going back a decade, i think about not paying staff properly. I think especially female. I cant remember female. So it was, it was basically like equal pay, equal pay, equal female. There wasnt it was an equal pay there wasnt it was an equal pay dispute suit and they stuck to their guns that they were doing the right thing. They eventually they lost in court. They ended up with a huge bill that cannot afford. And that they cannot afford. And this is whats driven them into bankruptcy. Theyre normally a reasonably well run council. Birmingham under both parties. And so that isnt true in other councils. Thats thats a particular thing. They had a big failure as well in birmingham and i think thats the implementation stuff seems implementation of it stuff seems to baffle councils as well. That to baffle councils as well. That was probably a more common theme. Croydon into this great. Croydon went into this great splurge of Property Development at and the government allowed that to happen. I mean to be fair, the government allowed councils to do that, gave them the freedom to do it. But croydon seems to have taken the freedom a certain where freedom to a certain point where the thing fell over the whole thing fell over financially theyre financially and theyre in difficulties. I think difficulties. So i dont think there going to be simple there are going to be simple answers any of this. In some answers to any of this. In some cases, of things is to cases, one of the things is to what extent councils it what extent do councils is it a good thing to let councils have more control and more say over how they run themselves . Because if they do, therell be cases where they run themselves into the wall as they have in birmingham and croydon, for example, or to what extent should they all be very tightly controlled from the centre . Do you think . I mean, youve been in local government for quite some time. Government for quite some time. Do you think people in local government are are competent enough do their jobs because enough to do their jobs because managing finances, i mean, managing your finances, i mean, thatis managing your finances, i mean, that is one of the most basic things that you have to do if you want to run large organisations. As you know yourself as a businessman. So why failing so badly . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell failing so badly . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell , failing so badly . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell , i failing so badly . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell , i think ng so badly . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell , i think ng so areily . Yourself as a businessman. So wthell , i think ng so are two well, i think there are two things i want to say is, number one, there are many very competent people in local authorities and there are many very competent local authority politicians and leaders. However politicians and leaders. However i think the calibre of people certainly in london, which i know particularly well, but it is the case elsewhere in the country, there are too many councillors, there are too many of. Question well, for daniel, example, in some london authorities there are three councillors a ward thats, councillors to a ward thats, thats and they should get larger air allowances and b fewer of them allowing how many councillors should there be to award. My view is what no. My view is what no. One, i would say one and it allows somebody to do it almost full time. But the other thing is which is and im enjoying this sort of high level and not partisan talking partisan way, were talking about it is about this because it is councils of all colours. You cant be partisan. This is something people dont is something that people dont really theyll really understand. Theyll go about labour. About was birmingham labour. It was yeah. Mean was wasnt it. Yeah. I mean previously. Yeah. Why arent you pointing this previously. Yeah. Why arent you pc because this previously. Yeah. Why arent you pc because its this previously. Yeah. Why arent you pc because its not this previously. Yeah. Why arent you pcbecause its not just this previously. Yeah. Why arent you pcbecause its not just a this is because its not just a labour thing. It is the all seem to be not very good at it. Yeah. Thurrock, it was run and thurrock, when it was run by the conservatives, had a half billion its all billion deficit. So its all parties, however for parties, right. However for i think is true that local think it is true that local authorities over the last decade plus there has been less money in Central Government. Grant right. And there has been right. And there has been increasing demand. Local increasing demand. Local authorities, a lot of them do do social care. Thats become much more expensive. Resources are stretched and it has led to authorities of different political persuasions trying to speculate on the Property Market at just the wrong time. At just the wrong time. And do you think this accusation that Central Government is basically be strangling if you like, the funds that are going into local councils . Is that true in your mind . Is that fair . No, i dont think its fair. I think there was a squeeze on local government expenditure under cameron government and under the cameron government and it reduced. Definitely it it was reduced. Definitely it was reduced the grant going in and expenditure was and the total expenditure was reduced. But then again , local reduced. But then again, local councils could generate efficiencies and get by. I dont think theres been a great squeeze since then, even though that money, a lot of that money hasnt been well, i wont interrupt, diane. Ill just say i would disagree profoundly on that in my recent experience. But sorry to interrupt. Yeah. And i dont think that has actually been squeezed since then. And councils need to manage their budgets and get by. Thats what the public expect of them. Its not always possible. Its not always possible. So then what do you do . Because surely at some point in time youve got to sit there and youve got to go because this is what i dont understand why people waiting very long people waiting so very long before start kind of before they start kind of raising white and raising the white flag and saying, in saying, weve got ourselves in this conundrum. Weve this massive conundrum. Weve got £1 billion, pretty much whole cases, or weve whole in some cases, or weve got got that or got this or weve got that or the why arent people the other. Why arent people more effective at streamlining their it their cost base before it becomes an absolute whole that they out of . They cant get out of . They are well 450 well, they are well 450 principle this principle council in this country. Yeah. 425 according to country. Yeah. 425 according to your figures are managing. Yeah. I mean only 25 or 26. Yeah who appear to be in difficulty. I mean some of the biggest the ones that are failing. Yeah. I mean do, i do think i mean i do, i do think theres an issue and i think if folks look at this further onune folks look at this further online and want to google fair funding, there online and want to google fair fun politicians there online and want to google fair fun politicians of there online and want to google fair fun politicians of all there are politicians of all descriptions weve got to descriptions saying weve got to sort out. Sort this out. And even the current government mooted, led by government have mooted, led by daniels friend and someone daniels friend and someone daniel himars , very much rishi daniel himars, very much rishi sunak they have said that they do intend to address funding of local authorities. One of the biggest problems i think in Public Sector and private sector is too many people that are in charge of money. They spend it as though its not their own. So i think theyre real profligate. They will like, oh yeah, that light bulb. Yeah i pay whatever it bulb. Yeah i can pay whatever it is. £50 for a light bulb or whatever, whatever. And i think that people do treat the cash, you know, if this was my budget and i had to be sensible and i was restricted in what i could spend, how would i how would i do where i cut costs . Do it . Where would i cut costs . I think people too i just think people waste too much peoples money and much of other peoples money and then they think, you what, then they think, you know what, those people that are those are the people that are going come behind me now going to come in behind me now and theyre now going to bail out going to out the council. Were going to hike tax up. Were hike their council tax up. Were going to put even more pressure on give them even on them, give them an even poorer service than what they had and expect to poorer service than what they had through|nd expect to poorer service than what they had through the expect to poorer service than what they had through the noset to poorer service than what they had through the nose for to poorer service than what they had through the nose for it.

Ive got to say, theres not a lot of love coming through on the inbox for your local council, is there anyone out there that sits there and says, do you know what . Im happy with the service that i get in terms of how much i pay you out there. Do you exist . Please get in touch with me and ill give a shout out your council shout out to your council because if because its always nice if people out there are doing a good job. Do they exist . Good councils . Know. You get councils . I dont know. You get in tell me, graham in touch and you tell me, graham says. Do you know what says. Michelle, do you know what the poll tax was . A much fairer system and worked so much better than things the council tax than things like the council tax systems have place today. Systems we have in place today. So keep your thoughts coming in on after the break. A very on that after the break. A very important topic. Ill talking important topic. Ill be talking to remarkable man, very, very to a remarkable man, very, very sadly. His son was murdered not that long ago by a 618 year old who was now being granted anonymity. Who was now being granted anonymity. His who was now being granted anonymity. His father, martin anonymity. His father, martin cosa , that is the victims cosa, that is the victims father. He is campaigning now for a change in the law, saying that no murderer should ever be allowed to be anonymous. Is he right . You tell me and ill see pretty thorough , isnt it, pretty thorough, isnt it, really . Its also pretty lightweight. Lightweight. Hi there. Im Michelle Dewberry and im with you till 7 00 tonight alongside with the conservative life peer in the house of lords, Daniel Moylan and ceo of ler, kevin and the ceo of ler, kevin craig. Back. Now very craig. Welcome back. Now very important and quite sensitive topic. Im keen to debate with you tonight because if somebody is a murderer, do you think they should ever receive anonymity . The reason im asking you this is in july, this year, a 17 year old boy, charlie cossar, he was at a party having fun as we do. He was horrendous ously murdered there. Now, a 16 year old boy has been convicted of his murder. The killer, though, the 16 year old boy has been granted anonymity by judge. Charlies anonymity by a judge. Charlies father, martin, is now campaigning for what he calls cosas law to basically stop this. He joins me now. Cosas law to basically stop this. He joins me now. Good this. He joins me now. Good evening to you , martin. Firstly, evening to you, martin. Firstly, firstly , you know, of course, firstly, you know, of course, sympathy goes out to you and all your family. I know this is a very, very difficult time for you all as a family. And im so sorry for your loss. I was fascinated to hear you calling for what you describe now as cosas law. Tell us about it. Cosas law. Tell us about it. Yeah, well, joe, i just just very quickly for clarity, want to say that they havent confirmed that theyre not going to release his name. That to release his name. That decision hasnt actually been made. But that that doesnt make a difference to what cosas law is and what it stands for. So the reason for cosas law is, is and the reason were campaigning for it. Firstly, its called for it. Firstly, its called cosas law because he was known as cosa to his friends, but what wed it to be able to do is wed like it to be able to do is ensure to a default where where a juvenile killer is named and without, you know , without without, you know, without hesitation , unless there are hesitation, unless there are real exceptional circumstance cases where where it would then go possibly to a board or a panel go possibly to a board or a panel. I think whats important to remember here, you know, the age of criminal responsibility is actually ten years old. And the through, the pain were going through, not whether theyre not knowing whether theyre going release his name or going to release his name or not, has very hard on us. Not, has been very hard on us. Im going to ask you, what would it mean to you . So if people did know the killer your charlie, killer of your child, charlie, what mean . What what would that mean . What difference would that make to your process, your healing process, for example . It would example . Well it would definitely make a difference to our healing process because i think such a brutal murder, you know, an eight, nine, ten year sentence, which the numbers were hearing the moment does were hearing at the moment does not should be in his name should be in the pubuc his name should be in the public domain. Happens if public domain. What happens if he girlfriend in the he gets a girlfriend in the future or, you know, he wants to move and get a job and start move on and get a job and start a family . People need know a family . People need to know who we had no choice. You who he is. We had no choice. You know, we were sat in a hospital the day before they switched charlies life support machine off, our family off, talking to our family liaison about Liaison Officers about what statement were to statement we were going to release. Because if we didnt release. Because if we didnt release okay they were release one. Okay they were going to release it anyway. And we to pick a photo that by we had to pick a photo that by all accounts, important all accounts, wasnt important to well every of to us. Well every photo of charlies important to us, so we had to down as a family and had to sit down as a family and it took us over three hours to write just 250 words to describe our beautiful dead son. Im so sorry. I mean, it bnngs im so sorry. I mean, it brings chills to. To me. Its just an awful situation. On the just an awful situation. On the flip side of this is , you know, flip side of this is, you know, yourself, theres been some suggestions on the other side of this. Well hang on a second. A 16 year old, what about if hes got Mental Health issues or what about it . I dont know. Being able to be rehabilitated the able to be rehabilitated in the future and move on from this crime. What would you say about crime. What would you say about to that . To that . E to that . Question would be, well, my question would be, what about the effect on our family . A victims family . Generally, speaking generally, if im speaking generally, know, how do they generally, you know, how do they know Mental Health know we dont have Mental Health related issues or that indeed were suffer from them were going to suffer from them because the trauma that weve because of the trauma that weve been through . The reality is we could we dont a choice could do we dont have a choice. Now. Google our name and. Now. You google our name and it comes up everywhere. You know , and no one thinks about the consequence of that. And what were having to through, were having to go through, which is why now control the which is why i now control the media my way. So, you media in my own way. So, you know, seems me and it know, it seems to me and it appears to me, michelle, that everything you everything seems to be, you know, on the side of the defendant. How can that possibly be hear you. Be right . Yeah i hear you. Look, youre doing some really good work when it really good work as well when it comes awareness comes to raising awareness around around knife around campaigning around knife crime, kind of anyones crime, if any kind of anyones got a young children, young grandchildren or whatever, what message would you give to those young people . Young people . Well, ill tell you what, id urge them to think twice because as you cant a murder, you cant take back and believe you me, youd only have to spend six, seven hours sitting and living in our world at the moment to know the pain and destruction you were cause by one moment of pure evil. My family you were cause by one moment of pure evil. My family is simply broken. My daughter is 15 years broken. My daughter is 15 years old. My son is 27. He used to work with charlie. My daughters just had major surgery on her knee. Shes going through hell. My wife cant stop crying. You know, we live in a world that people dont see the bigger picture. They dont fully understand. So i would encourage anybody out there to think twice. You know, how many times . You know, how many times . Certainly when i was growing up, if there was a problem, you know, thered be a knock about in a field or whatever. Youd have with each other even have it out with each other even verbally , not with knife. Verbally, not with a knife. Hear you. I hear you. Yeah, i hear you. I hear you. Listen, i think you are a remarkable man. I think youre remarkable man. I think youre doing really work at this doing really good work at this moment in time. And i wish you success with campaign. We success with your campaign. We send our love and support send all of our love and support and wishes to your family and best wishes to your family for your horrific, horrific loss. Thank you very much for joining me tonight. Martin this is a really sensitive one, ive got to say. I do agree with the father there. Why should a murderer, a killer , just be murderer, a killer, just be allowed to . You know what . Ive done an awful thing, but i can kind of have this luxury. I think its a luxury of not having that cloud permanently over youre over your head. Youre a murderer. Murderer. Its a heartbreaking case. And i entirely. We all sympathise with mr cosa and his family for this tragic and violent loss. I entirely agree violent loss. I entirely agree with him, actually. And im old enough to remember when this arrangement was brought in whereby the juveniles did not have their names publicised when they were put on trial. And i neveri they were put on trial. And i never i never agreed with it at the time, and not just for the reasons that he says, which is basically in the interests of some sort of parity with the victims and the suffering of the victims family and the survivors in this case, the surviving family. Survivors in this case, the surviving family. But but surviving family. But but because theres also a Public Policy question about open and pubuc policy question about open and public justice. And weve always had a system where trials are pubuc had a system where trials are public and the public can see what is going on. And if you can show your innocence, show your if the court fails, at least to prove that youre guilty, then you walk away vindicated, publicly vindicate. And now you publicly vindicate. And now you have more and more of what i call this secret justice, where you dont know whos being charged. You dont. And i generally disapprove of it. So actually, i would question this not just in the case of juvenile murder or those charged with murder, but at juvenile offenders. General plea, it was introduced with the best of intentions. Is it working . We ought to look at it. I dont think. Think. Will it get looked at, though . No. Why why . Because nobodys that interested. See that . But thats awful. How do how do make people how do how do we make people interested . Then what do we do . Because surely if everyones if people this people here are saying that this is thats wrong, well, is something thats wrong, well, id to how does how id love to hear how does how do how martin his family how does martin and his family get attention of lawmakers . Get the attention of lawmakers . I am rushing to maybe i am rushing to judgement there, and it may be that either a government minister or a shadow minister in the labour party says that they are going to look at this and i would withdraw what i say in that case. Yeah, i think daniel, i think that are interested. That people are interested. I think that mr cosa is one of think that mr cosa is, is one of the most articulate , powerful the most articulate, powerful campaigning voices ive ever heard or seen. And i think that this is a change in the law that people from all backgrounds can get behind. Yeah, i, i think so many people would they would support this and i think im going to put some thought into this about, you know, what can we do . How can we get this on the agenda for conversation , action agenda for conversation, action and review . Because its not its enough. Its not good enough. Really michel. You its really easy, michel. You know, 100,000 people know, its 100,000 people signing petition you or signing a petition that you or somebody else puts up and gets parliament start to talk about it right. It right. Okay. Well, im going to have a because it a look into that because it cant right. Can you imagine cant be right. Can you imagine what family going what that family are going through . To martin and through . I spoke to martin and its its heartbreaking. I its just its heartbreaking. I hope you ever get that hope none of you ever get that knock on the door because i cant even tell you what it does to a family. And then you imagine and as he mentioned, by the way, ill be fascinated to see this actually gets see what this kid actually gets sentenced little the sentenced and how little the sentencing will be in terms of how long person will have how long that person will have to stay in court. But, i mean, can imagine if was your can you imagine if that was your family . A life family . Youve got a life sentence, of them, charles, sentence, all of them, charles, siblings and everything. Let me know your thoughts that. Know your thoughts on that. Vaiews gbnews. Com is how you get hold of me hi there. Im michelle jubran. Im with you until 7 00 tonight. Lots of you getting in touch saying that you would absolutely support costas law. So were to going put a bit more thought into that just an awful, awful situation. And i think he raised a very important point there, martin, as well, that sometimes in this country it does feel a little bit like the law seems to be more on the side of the wrongdoer rather than the innocent people that are affected said crimes anyway , affected by said crimes anyway, get in touch with me, gbviews gbnews. Com is how you get a hold of me. Jubilee tavern is open because it is friday, so cheers to you. Cheers. Cheers to you. Cheers. I like this. I like this. Cheers is. Yeah. Only on fri day. Friday. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Right. Cheers everybody. To right. Cheers everybody. To the weekend ahead now. King charles. He has been busy over in france. Lots of people loving his work there and saying that actually he is the best diplomat. This country has. Is he . Hes fantastic on this trip. Hes fantastic on this trip. I think hes done a great job. And seeing him because i lived in france , speak the language, in france, speak the language, loved the country , seeing him loved the country, seeing him over there, representing our nation. So effectively, even in his cut glass, british accented french, which is great. And i encourage listeners and viewers to Search Online for his speech set to the tune of gtm, which is which is a super watch , which which is a super watch, which hes doing a great job representing our country. And a year ago, michelle saw what i think about is our in terms of diplomacy that doesnt work is our former Prime Minister liz truss, daniels friend. And she truss, daniels friend. And she was saying publicly , france, do was saying publicly, france, do you remember this phrase and or foe . Right. Right across the water with whom we have to try and work to combat the boats and all sorts. And at last now , now all sorts. And at last now, now the monarch that we choose to keep as its the settled will of the people currently good on him. I dont always agree with what he does, but in this instance hes a fantastic instance hes a fan tastic representative. Do you agree with that . Well, i agree with bits of it. I mean, first of all, first well, i agree with bits of it. All, ean, first of all, first well, i agree with bits of it. All, ian, first of all, first well, i agree with bits of it. All, i dontst of all, first well, i agree with bits of it. All, i dont thinkill, first well, i agree with bits of it. All, i dont think itsfirst well, i agree with bits of it. All, i dont think its right of all, i dont think its right to call the king a diplomat, because we all know that a diplomat somebody sent abroad diplomat is somebody sent abroad to lie for country and. King to lie for his country and. King he said he was. King he is in a totally, totally different league. The king is out there representing and embodying the country as a whole. And he is country as a whole. And he is doing it brilliantly. And he would do it brilliantly in other countries as well. And not just in france , where the france is in france, where the france is friend or foe is still a very open question as far as im concerned. They certainly behave in very hostile ways towards us when suits them, and i dont when it suits them, and i dont see them being very friendly, but do love the king. They but they do love the king. They love speaks love the fact the king speaks french. Its french. And i agree its a french. And i agree its a french of a certain style. I happen to know from the one occasion when i did meet the queen, i happen to know the queen, i happen to know the queen speaks rather good french as the current queen. I mean, Queen Camilla. So hang on. Which queen did you meet . I met the queen. Queen camilla. I happen to know that i met the queen. Queen camilon i happen to know that i met the queen. Queen camilon the ppen to know that i met the queen. Queen camilon the one] to know that i met the queen. Queen camilon the one occasion that i met the queen. Queen camilon the one occasion i hat i met the queen. Queen camilon the one occasion i did when on the one occasion i did meet camilla before she meet Queen Camilla before she was queen, that she speaks very good french well. And im good french as well. And im sure been contributing sure shes been contributing alongside the alongside to that. And the french love it. The french love it. How did you meet Queen Camilla and get on to the fact that she speaks good french because she came when i was deputy chairman of transport for london. P w she came to London Underground shes underground because shes a great great interest. Great patron, great interest. She Adult Literacy and a she has and Adult Literacy and a transport has an transport for london has an aduu transport for london has an Adult Literacy centre for staff and others which she came to visit and she spent an hour or so there. And then as it happens so there. And then as it happens , i saw her engaging with french people afterwards in what sounded to me like very fluent and comfortable french. And i was, you know, thats great. So im sure shes out there speaking french as well. And the king speaks french. The french absolutely love that. People love it when you speak to them in own its not in their own language. Its not just french, but i just the french, but also i think the is people dont think the fact is people dont like current head of state like their current head of state in france very much. We saw that in france very much. We saw that in the football stadium and its very them to see for very nice for them to see for them who is popular, them to see one who is popular, effective, dignified loved effective, dignified and loved by own people. By his own people. Yeah, he does seem to be very well respected, he, well respected, doesnt he, internationally, therell well respected, doesnt he, int people rally, therell well respected, doesnt he, int people rally, this 1erell well respected, doesnt he, int people rally, this 1ere some be people watching this and some people well, you said people might say, well, you said its a settled situation about the monarchy all the rest of the monarchy and all the rest of it. And i know that are it. And i know that there are some country, some people in this country, i dont agree with them, but there are some people in this country that against that would push back against that would push back against that we shouldnt have a that and say we shouldnt have a royal family. Yeah. I theres yeah, yeah. I mean, theres a theres a i think the campaigning is called Campaigning Group is called repubuc Campaigning Group is called republic memory who to republic from memory who want to see is their right. But i see as as is their right. But i think you if you offer me a choice between lawshall and a president to president trump, im going to take every day of the take charles every day of the rest my you know, when rest of my life. You know, when i think about the alternatives and i think its healthy, theres debate. Hes doing theres debate. But hes doing a fantastic and id fantastic job. And daniel, id go i think the french are go back, i think the french are friends of this country, but one to discuss at length is this french wine tonight, michel, do you know . You know .

Lots of people getting in touch as about that as touch as well about that as laurel. Just been talking about. Again, lots of people all coming through that you through and saying that you really agree and you would really do agree and you would support that change in law. Surely then its time to at least reopen that conversation, isnt . Im desperately trying isnt it . Im desperately trying to find anybody thats happy and satisfied with their local council.
