Our economics and Business EditorLiam Halligan has more. Were a couple of hours on now, but at 12 noon today, the bank of england behind me, their Monetary Policy committee, did make the really important decision Interest Rates decision to hold Interest Rates at 5. 25. Finally, finally , at 5. 25. Finally, finally, finally, after 14 successive rate rises from 0. 1 at the end of 2001, all the way up to 5. 25, the bank of england has finally decided enough is enough and inflation is now coming down and theres no need for now at least to raise rates any more. This to raise rates any more. This will be a huge relief to young families with variable rate mortgages. It will be a huge relief to companies with variable rate loans. It will be a huge relief to many consumers. Farmers across the country who have been grappling with High Energy Bills as Liam Halligan outside the bank of england earlier on today. Well, the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, says despite the banks decision, britains been left worse off under the tories i i i think there will be a sense of relief, particularly for those who are coming up to the end of their mortgage deals. But lets look at where we are in the Bigger Picture because somebody coming up to remortgage their house today is looking at paying their house today is looking at paying £220 more a month than they would have done if they had a remortgaged a year ago. So this is still a very challenging time for families and businesses with the cost of living crisis, which continues to bite. Which continues to bite. Well, homebuyers and borrowers may start to feel the benefits of the bank of englands announcement today. Shortly after it was made nationwide, said it will be cutting the majority of its fixed rate mortgages. The fixed rate mortgages.

And the reason i have confidence in that way, are world leading. And the re because we confidence in that way, are world leading. And the re because weve|fidence in that way, are world leading. And the re because weve overdelivered t is because weve overdelivered on all of our carbon budgets to date, despite everyone saying, oh, not them, oh, you might not hit them, weve delivered them. Weve over delivered on them. Plus that the costs plus we can see that the costs of these new of some of these new technologies are falling far faster people have faster than people have predicted. Offshore is predicted. Offshore wind is a great example that cost. Great example of that cost. Today, 70 less than we predicted in 2016.

Channel 7 00 tonight. Alongside me, the co founder of the Campaign Group together, alan miller and journalist and broadcaster Michael Crick. Good evening to both of you. Just dunng evening to both of you. Just during the headlines there, michael was saying to me, why are we not talking about Rupert Murdoch . Thats murdoch . Youre saying thats a big why youre so big story. Tell me why youre so bothered Rupert Murdoch bothered about Rupert Murdoch saying. Saying farewell. Murdoch in his, well, Rupert Murdoch in his, what, years . 60, 65 years, what, 70 years . 60, 65 years, hes been owning newspapers and so on. Hes transformed the media, the around the globe, not least in this country. The Sun Newspaper , he took over. It was newspaper, he took over. It was an ailing paper for very little circulation transformed it into the best selling paper he founded sky television. Some people will argue that he reduced the media to the gutter. And of course, you remember he had to close down news of the world. On the other hand, i think the Times Newspaper is the best there around best newspaper there is around right and saved that right now. And he saved that probably closure for well, probably from closure for well, the i not to talk the reason i chose not to talk about it today is because i thought actually quite frankly, theres than enough going theres more than enough going on world. On in the world. Bothered about Rupert Murdoch . Had big contribution. Hes had a big contribution. But you know, sometimes but i think, you know, sometimes you can turn someone into being bigger they are, bigger than they actually are, if possible, some if thats possible, because some of conversations it of the conversations about it always assume that the public are stupid. Often are a bit stupid. Thats often been i think been the backdrop. And i think he rated the public. So he actually rated the public. So some of critics missed that point. I think he i think he was brilliant at understanding pubuc brilliant at understanding public that Public Opinion in a way that very few people on the very few other people on the planet tony blair is another planet do. Tony blair is another who rare creatures. Well, you tell me, any interest in the Rupert Murdoch situation thats how old situation at 92 . Thats how old he has worked until. Situation at 92 . Thats how old he has worked until. Would you he has worked until. Would you work until your 90s . But i guess, you know what . If you love what you do, i suspect that old saying that if you love what you do, you dont work a day in your life. Is that true . You get in touch. Give me all your thoughts. Ive got a bumper thoughts. But ive got a bumper show coming up for you tonight. I want to talk to you about what on our parliament on earth some of our parliament ontarians are up to telling companies be companies that they should be withdrawing the income from people been accused of people that have been accused of wrongdoing. Do you agree with that . Very that . It makes me very uncomfortable. I tell you. I uncomfortable. I can tell you. I want i also want to look at that. I also want to look at that. I also want to look at that. I also want to talk to you about what keir starmer has been up to, saying that basically we shouldnt from shouldnt diverge much away from eu. Suspicious to eu. Sounds a bit suspicious to me, a little bit like we might be edging our way closer to joining again eu. Your joining again the eu. Your thoughts and also liberal society party. Theres a big survey out is good survey out today. Is it a good Thing Society is way more thing that society is way more liberal than it perhaps ever used to be . Vaiews gbnews. Com is how you get a hold of me. Or you can tweet me at gb news. But top story youll be familiar with last night. Rishi with this from last night. Rishi sunak. Of course he did what some were saying like a big shock. Basically shock announcement. Basically you lot of net zero you turning on a lot of net zero stuff. He was pushed into that announcement, i would say, because leaks. So had to because of leaks. So he had to bnng because of leaks. So he had to bring thoughts for forward. Bring his thoughts for forward. Hes in trouble for so many hes been in trouble for so many reasons today , but not least reasons today, but not least because theres the accusation that actually hes jeopardised, that actually hes jeopardised, that of reaching net zero that target of reaching net zero by 2050. While im talking, i will just remind you guys that some of the things that he was suggesting in his announcement last night, i shall start with you, alan miller. Last night, i shall start with you, alan miller. This last night, i shall start with you, alan miller. This whole you, alan miller. This whole lets pick up the big criticism mainly about this net zero, 2050 target. Is that in jeopardy because of these decisions yesterday . Yesterday . Well, rishi has tried to double down and say that hes still going to meet that criteria, but frankly, it should go. I mean, on the one hand, go. I mean, on the one hand, britains far further than anyone down road, but anyone else down this road, but the net zero is a term. But when we look at what it actually means, it means an attack, an assault on working people. And it were to it means that were going to have further, further impositions got impositions and cuts. Weve got all sorts of restrictions and nudges. Theres surveillance associated with it. Weve seen everything from roadblocks to the 15 minute cities without provision public transport and services to but actually much more about a surveillance kind of state. I think the public now are seeing this. Theyre furious about it. Recognising that about it. Hes recognising that the are going be the polls are going to be impacted by it, which is of impacted by it, which is one of the reasons doing it. And the reasons hes doing it. And frankly, we need a public discussion where everyones engaged the next engaged with a view for the next 100 about energy 100 years about energy in dependence growth and dependence and about growth and innovation and about limits innovation and not about limits and restrictions. Having a public were having a public discussion in your engaged, so let your thoughts on it. Let me know your thoughts on it. Do you agree with alan . Agree with very little of i agree with very little of that. Oh it shows what a that. Oh i think it shows what a weak and feeble Prime Minister rishi when became rishi sunak is. When he became prime had high hopes Prime Minister, i had high hopes of thought was going of him. I thought he was going to better than truss and to be better than truss and johnson may, hes just johnson and may, and hes just as bad as them. A strong Prime Minister, a strong patriotic prime kick the Prime Minister doesnt kick the can down the road. He redoubles his efforts and says, look, weve got to reach this target, weve got to reach this target, weve got to reach this target, weve got do in such a way weve got to do it in such a way that reduces the cost to people. And got maintain our and weve got to maintain our role as leading the world in this matter. And weve also got this matter. And weve also got to maintain our reputation for sticking to agreements when we when make hes trashed when we make them. Hes trashed all that. So what . So what . All of that. So what . So what . What does it matter . Like youre saying . Well, ill tell youre saying . Well, ill tell you why. So what . So what . Because we the world. Because we lead the world. Who world stage who cares about the world stage when here literally cant afford. So you dont care about people who live in the maldives or islands the indian or in islands in the indian ocean in the pacific where ocean or in the pacific where the where where, where the tides are about reputation are about our reputation on the world stage. Yes, our reputation on stage matters as on the world stage matters as well. We dont stick to well. If we dont stick to agreements, why would anybody well. If we dont stick to agreemeragreement uld anybody well. If we dont stick to agreemeragreement uld aus . Ody well. If we dont stick to agreemeragreement uld aus . Hes make an agreement with us . Hes quite interesting because outside it. Outside you were saying it. Wouldnt good if people wouldnt it be good if people ever they changed their ever said they changed their mind . Might say mind . And maybe he might say that changed his mind on that hes changed his mind on this . I dont actually think hes changed mind. I think hes changed his mind. I think hes changed his mind. I think hes to the electorate hes appealing to the electorate because just like because he knows not just like with not just ulez with uxbridge, not just ulez and cars and emission zones cars and low emission zones around the country. People are furious having furious that theyre having these limits and restrictions imposed on them. Net zero is a blunt is a blunt tool. The way we solve the problems in the world to have a Dynamic World is to have a dynamic wealth creation, to have investment in infrastructure, research , but research and development, but not limits ever not having limits ever increasing sort of sustainable targets that reduce our ability by people who fly around in jets and limousines and say they say, do as i say and not as i do. Its unacceptable. Well, its pushing down the actual cost, the Living Standards of people, particularly in a cost of living crisis. And i think the british pubuc crisis. And i think the British Public are aware of it. Thats why it together weve got a campaign thats saying no to net zero and were going to push this for the whole year. I think youll find that polls actually show that the british support net British Publics support net zero of zero zero and the target of net zero by 2050, but i agree with you on the economic front whats the economic front and whats happened messing happened here is hes messing around the Energy Around people in the energy industry, who are making industry, people who are making electric cars by delaying these targets. Around targets. Hes messing around industry. Another industry. And its another example of how the conservative Party Conservative party and the conservative government with government have lost touch with british industry and british businessmen. And we this businessmen. And we have this extra ordinary thing the extra ordinary thing where the labour more in touch labour party is more in touch with british industry and so on. And with about people and i agree with about people flying time. Flying around all the time. Rishi is in and out of rishi sunak is in and out of that helicopter whizzing around the time. Why the country all the time. Why cant he go by train . Why cant he go by train . When was the time you tried when was the last time you tried to great distance travelling . 7.

A sign think it is a weak. Its a sign of weakness. It is a sign that somebody listened the somebody is listened to the electorate wherever their driving force. Because let me just show you, i think thats what the electorate both electorate are saying. You both saying electorate are saying. You both sayielectorate are saying the electorate are saying that. Show what zac let me show you what zac goldsmith, not happy. So i goldsmith, hes not happy. So i think can bring his tweet up. Think i can bring his tweet up. Hes basically saying beyond belief referencing, belief and hes referencing, you know, was saying belief and hes referencing, you knov he was saying belief and hes referencing, you knov he scrapped was saying belief and hes referencing, you knov he scrapped meets saying belief and hes referencing, you knov he scrapped meet taxes,ig that he scrapped meet taxes, scrapped sharing that he scrapped meet taxes, scrappe the sharing that he scrapped meet taxes, scrappe the rest sharing that he scrapped meet taxes, scrappe the rest of sharing that he scrapped meet taxes, scrappe the rest of it, sharing that he scrapped meet taxes, scrappe the rest of it, hesharing and all the rest of it, hes basically saying that these policies sunak has policies that rishi sunak has basically apparently basically u turned on apparently didnt even exist in the first place. Saying that place. So hes saying that this is basically out and out is just basically out and out politicking become is just basically out and out prwedgeig become is just basically out and out prwedgeig to become is just basically out and out prwedgeig to basicallycome a wedge issue to basically emulate of the division. Emulate some of the division. Allen on the allen thats going on in the states that over states and bringing that over here. With that . Here. Do you agree with that . I dont agree with well, i dont agree with that. The about that. I mean, the thing about the culture wars and the division in states, its division in the states, its very actually very problematic. But actually it more the of it takes much more the form of republican within republican and democrat within that, in there that, whereas in the uk there are more independent are far more independent campaigning and others. Are far more independent campaigwelg and others. Are far more independent campaigwe know and others. Are far more independent campaigwe know theresi others. Are far more independent campaigwe know theres overzrs. Are far more independent campaigwe know theres over 30 theres we know theres over 30 of that are saying they of people that are saying they do mainstream do not trust the mainstream political parties. Theres an appetite for actual serious discussion. The problem is the discussion. The problem is the technocrats of blue red , yellow technocrats of blue red, yellow and green are contemptuous of the public. They think that they can just spin these platitudes that we can have a bit of nudge. Theyre the smart ones. For all theyre the smart ones. For all the crass, silly public, they consuming theyre a bit consuming and theyre a bit toxic , they have things toxic, they need to have things done them and really done to them and what really needs contrary to mr needs to happen contrary to mr goldsmiths view, is that we need to put the public front and centre. You imagine the kind centre. If you imagine the kind of of the of a festival of britain, the kind of great exhibition idea of the next 100 years where we want to that means serious to be, that means serious discussions resources , discussions about resources, innovation, technology, infrastructure for planes for everyone , right transformation, everyone, right transformation, new types of energy, tidal wave, Great Nuclear opportunities. The ones we havent created. You cant do that when we have a sustainable outlook and limits to growth, a kind of weve gone too far and net zero. Its unacceptable. Its punishing to working people and we need to dispense it and start dispense with it and start afresh planes for everyone. Everyone is to yes. So everyone is going to have aeroplane. Have their own aeroplane. Drones the can i have drones like the jetsons . Actually jetsons . And actually uber experimented in experimented with that in melbourne. See, isnt experimented with that in melcarbon see, isnt experimented with that in melcarbon consumption, isnt experimented with that in melcarbon consumption, thet the carbon consumption, the carbon from are Carbon Emissions from that are going even greater . Going to be even greater . I mean you well, maybe. I mean you probably i suspect, dont probably early, i suspect, dont think a problem at all think theres a problem at all about carbon Climate Change, do you . What i think is that you . Well what i think is that weve got a serious problem, which is that weve become completely stricken. Completely panic stricken. No, but on weve become no, no, but on the change, you think weve become no, no, but on the climate hange, you think weve become no, no, but on the Climate Change you think weve become no, no, but on the Climate Change is. You think weve become no, no, but on the Climate Change is. Ill think that Climate Change is. Ill tell you what. Ill tell you what i think the to what i think. I think the way to solve any problems that we have, which always along human which always come along in Human Society is to innovate, invest and have technology. Not with that. We but not i agree with that. We all with that. You all agree with that. But do you believe think we dont believe do you think we dont all Climate Change problem. Dont agree with it. We dont all agree with it. We dont all agree with it. Ive asked you three because ive asked you three times now, ill up to four. Times now, ill go up to four. Is change a problem . Is Climate Change a problem . It do are you is it do you are you concerned about Climate Change or well, thats general question. Think there are i mean, i think there are issues happen with climate, issues that happen with climate, but extent where but not to the extent where were fearing were were fearing stt. And were told boiling and told its global boiling and were die with were all about to die with armageddon. There armageddon. Absolutely. There are the world where it are parts of the world where it is pretty hot these days and you know not least this know it not not least this country, he said week country, he said last week on my program to be program that were going to be potentially frying people, potentially frying well, people, if i didnt mean literally frying, mean that the frying, but i did mean that the areas equator are areas around the equator are going to be its going be going to be its going to be unbearable to live there. That well, guess what . And that people there people who do live there will want to come, will want to go north, that the problem of north, and that the problem of mass greater. Mass migration will be greater. But i notice, alan, that you still have an answer to the question. I mean , its almost question. I mean, its almost getting excuse me. Getting to paxman excuse me. Its my program, not yours. Its my program, not yours. Im right. Will you ask him the questions then . I will. Ill ask him excuse me. Ill ask him whatever i want. Whatever questions i want. Listen, up with listen, ive come up with a solution. Come with solution. Ive come up with a solution. Ive come up with a solution everything. Solution for everything. Everyone there when it comes everyone out there when it comes to youre to Climate Change. If youre concerned michael concerned like what michael is, give dont fly give up your cars, dont fly anywhere. Eat less meat. Right. And then lets see what that does to the climate emissions. And then maybe we can reassess some the targets and everyone some of the targets and everyone else board. They can else is not on board. They can perhaps afterwards if perhaps come afterwards if indeed need. Indeed there is still the need. Give thoughts on all of give me your thoughts on all of it. Ive got lot to it. Look, ive got a lot to come. Uh, right. I want to talk to you about parliament. I want to you about parliament. I want to talk to you about brexit. And i want to talk to you about how liberal we are and whether or not good ill see not its a good thing. Ill see you radio. With you till 7 00. Alyssa says, can you ask your panel alyssa says, can you ask your panel, please . Have they got electric cars or a heat pump . No. No. Have you got an electric car or a heat pump . Heat pump . Electric heat pump . Not an electric car. Youve a heat pump . Car. Youve got a heat pump . Was that choice or yeah. Was that by choice or was it like inspired by environment or it because environment or was it because you that legislation you felt that legislation was about what you about to come in . What made you get pump . Get a heat pump . Those things, all of those things, yeah, just was the economic just that it was the economic thing to do and concern for the environment and eventually well get electric car. But at the get an electric car. But at the moment cant afford one. But moment we cant afford one. But you know, if you keep having me on the show, i was just about to say cards, right . Attention when tell you Pay Attention when i tell you to youre thinking up and to wind, youre thinking up and you could booked john you could be booked again, john says warming is says michelle. Global warming is real, but well get you a battery at least Global Warming is real, but our actions are just to make ourselves feel good, says john. Dean. Says im not falling for all this net zero farce. Theres a few people making an absolute fortune out of all of this. And we are the mugs that are paying it. Its all falling heaviest on the shoulders that can least afford it. I absolutely hear you on that. It. I absolutely hear you on that. Now, listen, this i it. I absolutely hear you on that. Now, listen, this i think is a very important topic because a Parliamentary Select Committee has been busy sending letters to a variety of companies basically, one in particular has really caught peoples eye that its the dcms , basically the select committee there. And they have written to a platform called rumble. If you dont if you dont know what that is, worry not. Its basically to simplify. Its just like a website basically which will host your video content and allow you to make money from it. And it all centres around Russell Brand. And now if i can, Russell Brand. And now if i can, i shall bring this letter up for you, but ill pick on, not pick on you , but ill start with you on you, but ill start with you too, alan. The nuts and bolts of this, right. And its been sent out by the chair of the Culture Media and Sport Committee and what theyre asking, they reckon that theyre asking questions, which im a bit suspicious of. Theres not a single question mark here, but there is a few mark on here, but there is a few statements that concern me. And the essence is about, and the essence of it is about, and i concerned that i quote, we are concerned that he able to profit from he may be able to profit from his on the platform. So his content on the platform. So what theyre trying to do, if you ask me, is trying to and let me just make a point. You ask me, is trying to and let me just make a point. This is me just make a point. This is not about what the allegation is, that Russell Brand, i dont want to get into those because to me, its not about that. This could be anybody and these could be any allegations as this is about of should about the principle of should parliamentarians trying to parliamentarians be trying to put on private put pressure on to private organisations to get people to lose income at the point lose their income at the point of allegation, when i saw this letter, i made all the people, i got all the people in our organisation to go and check it because i thought it was fake. I could not believe it that weve got politicians. This weve got politicians. This shows how naive i can be sometimes as well that are actually trying to instruct at private entities. Big tech to take down and demonetise people around allegations. So if i now around allegations. So if i now Say Something about michael or he says something about me , are he says something about me, are we not going to be able to go and anymore . This is and do things anymore . This is something world of something from the world of stalinism. This is something from tyranny. Weve from the world of tyranny. Weve just safety bill just had the Online Safety bill passed the day before yesterday where tech are going to make where big tech are going to make decisions about what be said decisions about what can be said and cant decisions about what can be said and cant be what can be and what cant be what can be expressed. Encryption. Expressed. No more encryption. This should this and we should remind ourselves that the culture, media and Sport Department is also unit has the also the unit that has the counter disinfo nation unit, the cdu. Another Eastern European in the time of the cold war sounding organisation thats been on journalists, been spying on journalists, pubuc been spying on journalists, Public Health people, doctors and citizens. Public health people, doctors and citizens. This is absolutely outrageous and they would probably deny that if they were here today. This is absolutely outrageous. And what should happen your view is outrageous. And what should haprbelieve your view is outrageous. And what should haprbelieve stronglyyour view is outrageous. And what should haprbelieve strongly about ew is outrageous. And what should haprbelieve strongly about this. ; who believe strongly about this. Everyone the everyone should let the dcms know , should let this particular know, should let this particular baroness know and should write to the government. We should make we have make sure that we have the ability expression. Make sure that we have the alsomeones expression. Make sure that we have the alsomeones guilty expression. Make sure that we have the alsomeones guilty of ression. If someones guilty of something, let them be tried in the are innocent the courts. We are innocent until Proven Guilty this until Proven Guilty in this country and people should not get taken down because this even reinforces much more in my mind. This a whole strategy to this is a whole strategy to cancel someone and shut them down. Its absolutely unbelievable. I want to make something absolutely well, absolutely clear as well, because absolutely because i, too, was absolutely i couldnt believe my eyes when i read this letter. So i tried very hard to get somebodys idea. Chris caroline somebodys idea. Chris caroline actually , who wrote the letter . Actually, who wrote the letter . Who was the chair of that committee . I tried to get her on to stand by this. It wasnt possible. So i tried also to get possible. So i tried also to get anyone, quite frankly, from that committee to join the conversation to defend this. I mean, what are you thinking . Id love to ask that question. I wasnt able to get anybody on. Michael, thoughts . Michael, your thoughts . It all wrong well, alans got it all wrong and headlines have it and your headlines have got it all this all wrong because the this letter does not tell these companies to stop, stop, mr brown monetising his content , brown monetising his content, nor as allen used the word does it instruct them its investing debating whether hes still able to monetise them and expressing some disapproval that he might be able to do so. But its not instructing. Its not telling. Youve gone way over the top , youve gone way over the top, both of you. And i think the Culture MediaSport Committee might have some some something to say about that in terms of gb news output. But what im saying, they should come off. I think it is it is a defend it. It is it. It is a it. It is a legitimate these are legitimate questions, legitimate areas to explore. And youre areas to explore. And youre talking about the public mark, on that letter. No, but question. Question marks, questions dont always have a questions dont always have a question mark on do you think you know that well, do you think they should be do you think you should ask a question from a genuine curious place to ascertain answer . Ascertain an answer . Or do think you should . Or do you think you should . Is that what a question is . Think i think i think. I think i think i think. I think i think i think. Do you think you should . A question be. Question should be. Do. But and think yes, i do. But and i think i think i think you go both of you have about respecting have gone on about respecting the the British Public here. I think m here. I think are exactly the i think these are exactly the points the british points that the British Public, alan michelle, would want to alan and michelle, would want to know. Is Russell Brands still able to make money out of these sites . Now, i would make another point. If theyre going to say you cant any you you cant have any more, you cant have more income from cant have any more income from your output, then they should take output down. They take the output down. They shouldnt on making money take the output down. They sho ofint on making money take the output down. They sho of itt on making money take the output down. They sho of it themselves. Aking money take the output down. They sho of it themselves. You; money take the output down. They sho of it themselves. You know ey what . Let me this to you, let me say this to you, michael. Me just say this to you. I Michelle Dewberry really, really hope that somebody doesnt make horrendous allegations about you right . Allegations about you right . Because so do i. In this society, we have a principle that you are innocent until you are Proven Guilty. Now, you can tell me , as im sure this select tell me, as im sure this select committee will say, to defend themselves that they are posing questions. If you want to pose a question, then you come at that from an impartial or impartial , from an impartial or impartial, interested point of view. You do interested point of view. You do not pre empt those questions. Not pre empt those questions. And because the questions theyre asking about stuff like can confirm whether or not can you confirm whether or not is able to monetise his content . So is a question youve so that is a question youve pre empted that question with a previous statement which says we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform. What business on the platform. What business of a Parliamentary Select Committee is it . Whether or not currently because as alan says, man is earning a living . Well you say hes an innocent man. We dont know that yet. And also remember, the channel 4 programme had many cases as of Russell Brand making jokes about sex and women , which frankly sex and women, which frankly would never get on television. These days. And they certainly wouldnt get on even on your channel and treating, treating, you know, talking, for instance, same way. I mean, for instance, he talked about an Obstacle Course about how to get a woman to have sex with you as 1 1. I dont need any. I dont need any. The very fact youre saying that the very fact youre saying that the very fact youre saying that makes the point that i think that even if you take away the specific allegations of Sexual Assault and rape and so on, there is enough that appeared on that programme of behaviour that i think most of the British Public, allen, would find unacceptable. Find unacceptable. Well, you know what . Heres the because i need to go the thing, because i need to go to a minute. Is to the weather in a minute. Is heating here. But i will heating up in here. But i will say this right. You everyone out there with kind there that agrees with this kind of you are of notion that if you are a alleged to have had, you know, to have done something, you to have done something, then you know fair game to know what, you are fair game to get entire and all get your entire income and all the rest cancelled at the the rest of it cancelled at the state allegation. I think state of allegation. I think that slippery slope. That is a very slippery slope. And these broadcasters, and all of these broadcasters, by that are now by the way, that are now conducting all of these investigations all rest investigations and all the rest of michaels point, this of it, to michaels point, this guy, he not make any kind of guy, he did not make any kind of hidden , kind of discreet things hidden, kind of discreet things. He was quite out there with some of his language and his suggestion was people knew that people were comfortable with that. So all of this all. Yeah. Guess what . Weve looked inward. Now were investigating ourselves. Anyway look, ourselves. Really. Anyway look, i guys to be the i shall leave you guys to be the final say on that. Maybe bring some sense to this conversation. What do you make to it all . Its heating up in here, as i said. Lets see if it is outside or to that warm feeling inside. Oh, yeah. Proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Weather on. Gb news. Hi there. Thursdays blustery showers will ease overnight some dner showers will ease overnight some drier and clearer spells , but drier and clearer spells, but also a cool night to come with temperatures widely in the single figures before further showers on friday. Now weve lost the persistent spells of rain that we saw earlier in the week, especially across western parts of the uk. But weve still got number showers got quite a number of showers circulating around an area circulating around an old area of pressure thats sitting of low pressure thats sitting to the north of scotland. And to the north of scotland. And that means there will be further showers especially that means there will be further showestern especially that means there will be further showestern scotland, specially that means there will be further showestern scotland, northern for western scotland, northern ireland, western parts of england and therell england and wales. And therell be some showers or some be some showers or even some thunderstorms just running through the channel close to kent times overnight. But kent at times overnight. But inland actually plenty of clear spells and under those clear spells and under those clear spells with light winds , spells with light winds, temperatures falling into the mid high single figures or mid to high single figures or even the low single figures for northern parts of the uk. So a fresh start on friday, but a bright start for many decent spells of sunshine across the midlands Eastern England. Spells of sunshine across the midainds Eastern England. Spells of sunshine across the mida time Eastern England. Spells of sunshine across the mida time the Eastern England. Spells of sunshine across the mida time the bulk rn england.

Theyll move east. Odd rumble of thunder east. The odd rumble of thunder in the in Eastern England by the afternoon cool day afternoon and its a cool day compared weve compared with what weve experienced september experienced so far. In september. That leads us on to a frost start in places on saturday, a touch of frost, mid wales northwards in sheltered spots, but actually plenty of sunshine andifs but actually plenty of sunshine and its looking like a fair day for the vast majority. The cloud will build into the afternoon, but decent, dry and bright weather lingers on. That is until sunday when persistent rain the west and rain returns to the west and a bit warmer in the south and east. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Weather on. Gb news. Hi there. Well were just talking about rumble. Just before that Weather Forecast there. Response, by the way, there. Response, by the way, they were having absolute early none of it when it came to the letter from Uk Parliament. They called it an extremely disturbing letter. They obviously said that they deplore all this of serious all of this kind of serious allegations and all the rest of it. They pointed out that they feel that alleged victims feel that both alleged victims and are entitled and accused people are entitled to and serious to a full and serious investigation. They said that investigation. An they said that they deeply to they are deeply devoted to the vital defending a free vital cause of defending a free internet. Think it is internet. And they think it is deeply inappropriate and dangerous Uk Parliament dangerous that the Uk Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on their platform. And they finished by saying, be saying, although it may be politically easier politically and socially easier for join a council for rumble to join a Council Culture mob, doing so would be a violation of the companys values and mission. And we empathetic. We reject the uk empathetic. We reject the Uk Parliaments demands. Good good. Alan miller very quick final word to you. Final word. Well michael said just before the break that we dont know if hes innocent or not. English law, you are not. Under english law, you are innocent Proven Guilty. Innocent until Proven Guilty. And final point on this is and the final point on this is that they are saying they are this targeting them. Its an this is targeting them. Its an instruction because theyre saying the platform saying we dont the platform to undermine the welfare of victims. Know if there undermine the welfare of victvictims know if there undermine the welfare of victvictims yet know if there undermine the welfare of victvictims yet or know if there undermine the welfare of victvictims yet or notn if there undermine the welfare of victvictims yet or not until1ere are victims yet or not until its proven of inappropriate or potentially illegal behaviour. Potentially illegal behaviour. So depends on it going to so it depends on it going to court, doesnt it . I suspect it wont i suspect wont because i suspect the evidence enough evidence wont be enough for a criminal but wont and criminal trial, but it wont and it wont be enough for Russell Brand to take a libel action. But hes admitted hes a sex addict. Im not going to sit here and speculate outcomes. Speculate on the outcomes. I maintain position. Maintain my position. Allegations really . Do you allegations really . Do you deserve to lose everything because people have made allegations that may or may not be true . I dont know. Luckily, be true . I dont know. Luckily, im not the one that has to be the judge of it either. Chris as icannot the judge of it either. Chris as i cannot stand Russell Brand or i cannot stand Russell Brand or i dont like his comedy. And i think hes an awful person, however innocent until Proven Guilty is absolutely always the way. Im gonna take a quick break now. When i come back, dont go anywhere. Brexit keir starmer. Theres a new video about saying basically he about him saying basically he doesnt to us diverge too doesnt want to us diverge too far their rules. And far from their rules. And they also to you, very also want to ask you, were very liberal days, but liberal society these days, but has it been for the better or not . See you months is that the climate lobby will start to get even more extreme. Whoa extreme. Whoa hello there. Im Michelle Dewberry alan miller. Im Michael Crick, alongside me. They dont have a moments rest. These two. I dont think theres much that they agree on at all. I lost the track of it all, but there was even about weapons of mass destruction. And. And blair and all the rest of it in the break. Anyway from one Prime Minister to potentially one in waiting kiss starmer. Hes apparently put his foot in it. Hes been caught saying, well, ill let you listen to what hes been caught saying, shall i . Most of the conflict with the uk being outside of the uk anses uk being outside of the uk arises in so far as the uk wants to diverge and do Different Things to the rest of our eu partners. Obviously the more we partners. Obviously the more we share values , the more we share share values, the more we share a future together, the less the conflict right and actually different ways of solving problems are become available. Problems are become available. Well im sure he said when the uk is outside the uk, obviously he meant the eu. He meant the eu. I did hear that correctly. Anyway this is all about how closely aligned to the eu should we be. I do feel like when you listen to a bit more of that speech, theres this kind of nofion speech, theres this kind of notion that if come notion that if we come out of the uk and we are you ready . Ready sensitive warning, ready toxic, sensitive warning, trigger warning, if we dare to actually stand on our own two feet, that somehow everything is going to collapse, that somehow britain be to britain cannot be trusted to forge our way in the world. And whatever legislation we create, this somehow this given that its going to be much worse than the eu was legislation. And i reject that notion. Actually, we should have the freedom to define our own way forward, shouldnt we . We should that well, we should remember that keir said keir starmer is the one who said that that noisy squabbling that all that noisy squabbling in parliament, that terrible noisy not particularly noisy stuff, is not particularly pleasant and its much nicer in the unaccountable eu the eu. The unaccountable eu that the majority of the people in this country voted to be out of. And its the eu, not europe. And its also the case that this is all to do with squandering this sense of independence. For 30 years weve had bureaucrats that have not had to be accountable to the public precisely at point where precisely at the point where they have be. Some of them they have to be. Some of them are and to re are pushing more and more to re go along. The idea that we dont have to take responsibility and accountability. I think the accountability. I think that the pubuc accountability. I think that the public wise to this. I think public are wise to this. I think theyve also that been theyve also seen that its been squandered some of these opportunities and this is the point at end of the day, we point at the end of the day, we need elected representatives to be them to be accountable. We need them to be accountable. We need them to be responsible and actually we need to be to chart own need to be able to chart our own decisions and not be re entangled with a whole lot of bureaucracy where people say, oh, i cant do this now because this is what theyre saying over there. Michael, the problem about our being outside the eu is that if we diverge from eu standards in much of the all much of the markets that british industry wants to sell to in the eu, then were not going to be able to sell to them because theyre they require us if were going to sell our goods in europe to meet their standards. So it meet their standards. So it makes sense for britain to go along with eu standards. You no, along with eu standards. You no, its our choice. We can its our choice. We can independently say, right, well well scrap them all. Well, you wont actually make many sales in europe. Youll end up having to elsewhere. Its to do your sales elsewhere. Its purely a pragmatic thing, and i suspect now well, i dont just suspect. Polls now suggest that the British Public that alan keeps going on about and keeps maintaining his hes on the pulse of the British Public. The British Public are actually rather regretting leaving the eu. Starmer has caught the climate there and we will see what happens. Make that statement, then Start Talking about starmer. How do you know that . British people. Well, made a statement well, you made a statement saying his in it. Saying hed put his foot in it. How do know that . The how do you know that .

Are you off my sir . Ill that if you want. Ill tell you that if you want. Ill go now. Ill go now. If you want to go now, go no, if you want to go now, go now. Ill talk to alan miller. But i mean, look at it, you two attack me non stop up. Youre not an impartial presenter youre presenter here. Youre constantly. Constantly. Behaving like an youre behaving like an adolescent. Attack me. Adolescent. You to attack me. Im going. Im going. Im going. Im going. Youre going. Right. Well, ill take over then. Well, no. Excuse i know you think excuse me. I know you think youre hilarious, going youre hilarious, but im going to for no reason other youre hilarious, but im going to weve for no reason other youre hilarious, but im going to weve wasted reason other youre hilarious, but im going to weve wasted all|son other youre hilarious, but im going to weve wasted all ofn other youre hilarious, but im going to weve wasted all of ourher than weve wasted all of our time we could have been time when we could have been having constructive, having a constructive, productive conversation about brexit i would have really brexit and i would have really liked have been instead, liked to have been instead, weve around, weve been messing around, talking about ofcom. Lets go to a break and ill in two. Hi there, this is dewbs co. Im Michelle Dewberry and im with you till 7 00 tonight alongside me. Ive not kicked him out. The co founder . Well, no. I was co founder . Well, no. I was about to say ive not kicked him out. The co founder together Campaign Group, alan miller, is alongside the alongside me, as is the journalist and broadcaster Michael Crick. Weve just done a group two minutes meditation and calmed ourselves down, respectful debate will resume because the British Attitude survey , this is all about survey, this is all about basically a long standing survey. Its about how attitudes have shifted and changed within our society. It looks at things like how liberal we are becoming now. Theres some interest thing, things that jumped out to me. Im just going to share with you some the key points from you some of the key points from this survey. Let me bring them up the screen, if possible. Up on the screen, if possible. So ill just share some so michael, ill just share some of these. So we compare, for example , the 80s to 2022. Example, from the 80s to 2022. The who want children. Do the people who want children. Do you think that they should be married . 70 in the 80s said, yeah, you should have kids within marriage, 24 in 2022. Should you be able to have an abortion . A woman, 37 said yes in 1980 and 76 said yes in 2022. When it comes to women staying at home and guys being the one that go out and earn the money, less than 50 said said yes to that. In the 80s and now 9 in 2022. So were definitely more liberal in lots of different ways. Is that always a good thing . Well, it depends what you mean by liberality. I mean, if liberality means people are more selfish, less considerate of their neighbours of the community, 80 of the world of the planet , community, 80 of the world of the planet, and its not a good thing if it means greater that gay people can live up persecuted un prosecuted, un beaten up, live free and liberal lives like the rest of the community. That is to be welcomed and most of the all the things on the list that you read out there are to be welcomed. Out there are to be welcomed. But there are aspects of a more liberal world which do worry me. Like well as i say, if it like what . Well as i say, if it means that people are more selfish, theyre less considerate , theyre less, they considerate, theyre less, they feel they know how to have dufies feel they know how to have duties responsibilities , duties and responsibilities, things that they can just do what they want , a form of what they want, a form of extreme liberality. Then i think extreme liberality. Then i think that it would be a grossly retrograde step. Retrograde step. See, i think theres an issue which is im a big subscriber that in private sphere, people should be able to do exactly what they want, providing theyre not harming other people. It should really no be of. And it should really no be of no interest to anyone else. However weve an that however weve got an issue that all tradition and culture and all of tradition and culture and the history now under attack the history is now under attack in the sense of universal principles. What michael might be civic be talking about virtues, Civic Engagement , the whole sense of engagement, the whole sense of purpose. Where are we going as a society, in ourselves , society, a belief in ourselves, a one another. Now a sense of one another. Now thats not still to say my mum fell recently, and thats not still to say my mum fell eight ently, and thats not still to say my mum fell eight people and thats not still to say my mum fell eight people helped|d thats not still to say my mum fell eight people helped her. About eight people helped her. They were remarkable. So we hear all these terrible stories, right . Got f right . Got to tell f right . Got to tell us the end youve got to tell us the end of story. Of the story. Shes recovering. Thank you. Shes shes recovering. But it was really heartwarming to see that did really beautiful things who did really beautiful things and touch and they and they got in touch and they helped were so helped and they were there. So we still have i still maintain that the public and the majority of public really decent of the public are really decent and but we and have good values. But we have an issue about who we are and a purpose, sense have an issue about who we are anvirtues purpose, sense have an issue about who we are anvirtues and purpose, sense have an issue about who we are anvirtues and values. E, sense have an issue about who we are anvirtues and values. Theyre|se of virtues and values. Theyre often attack. Theres often under attack. Theres a sense weve are rubbish, sense that weve we are rubbish, that people are no good , that that people are no good, that our whole society is based on a utany our whole society is based on a litany of terrible things historically, where all these evil perpetrators of everything rather than having a sense of who we are as a community. And i think that so its good that we have the ability to do what we want in the private sphere, but its a real problem now that weve got these this sense of decay in these ideas and worse than that, weve also now got some people whove taken over and had a big influence without democratically discussing it with the public institutions. Education and elsewhere that are saying now the new education and elsewhere that are sayingand now the new education and elsewhere that are sayingand if now the new education and elsewhere that are sayingand if yourv the new education and elsewhere that are sayingand if you dont new education and elsewhere that are sayingand if you dont agree truth. And if you dont agree with it, then youre either this or that and you should be cancelled. And another cancelled. And thats another big we can see that in big issue. So we can see that in the based discussion the sex based rights discussion in a of others as well. In a range of others as well. And you, therell be and to you, because therell be lots conversation about lots of conversation about religion, example. Religion, for example. So the amount of people that would identify themselves as religious, that is decline. Religious, that is on decline. And some people will say about traditional family values. So the you know, the unit of families, that is the important family, is the important family, that is the important entity when it comes to children , the people that matter the most are the parents, the people that it comes to that matter when it comes to things final say the things like the final say is the parents. Many people would worry that of things seem that those kind of things seem to be eroded, whether its the religious its religious aspects, whether its the values aspect. Do you the family values aspect. Do you share that or well i mean, share that or not . Well i mean, im an atheist. Share that or not . Well i mean, im iin atheist. Share that or not . Well i mean, im iin ethink. Share that or not . Well i mean, im iin ethink religion did a lot i do think religion did a lot of harm, has done a lot of harm over the centuries. But on the other hand, i think religion was a if it introduced the right values and were talking about all religions here, they do have the right values. And if that helps people operate ethnic and ethnic and ethical and moral lives and responsible lives and lives and responsible lives and lives of courtesy and consideration and the kind of world that alans talking about , great. But the religion did some terrible things as well. Now, what was the other aspect of your question . Because i would just say that it about the fact because you see when i think fact because you see when i thiryes. Yes. Yes. No, think the families, the no, i think the families, the families families are are an important part of society. And family life is to be welcomed. Family life is to be welcomed. On the other hand, i dont think it should be used as it has been in the past as an attack on gay people. Gay people. People. Gay people. Yeah. Im not thinking necessarily about gay people. What about when what im thinking about is when youve child , where is the youve got a child, where is the authority for that child . Because for me, i think i get to determine whats right for my child, me not a school teacher, not whoever it is, not any institution , not a medical institution, not a medical professional who thinks that my child can somehow give this consent. I believe that as a parent, the buck stops with me for responsibility of my for the responsibility of my child. And the decisions surrounding there are limits, surely. Mean, you, surely. Mean, instance i mean, if you, for instance , right, my child , i , said, right, well, my child, i dont think my child should go to school and he should sit at home eating doughnuts. Home all day eating doughnuts. I think the state in those think that the state in those circumstances would would have a duty to step in and say, look, your childs got to go to school and got and youre and youve got and youre mistreating them. And youve got and youre miswell,1g them. And youve got and youre miswell, actually, there was well, actually, there was something the news today that something in the news today that something in the news today that so many parents saying so many parents were saying actually, kids, actually, that perhaps the kids, they the kids to go. Actually, that perhaps the kids, the no. The kids to go. Actually, that perhaps the kids, the no. Well the kids to go. Actually, that perhaps the kids, the no. Well shouldids to go. Actually, that perhaps the kids, the no. Well should also go. Actually, that perhaps the kids, the no. Well should also be . No. Well it should also be noted was king james noted that it was the King James Bible majority of bible that got the majority of people in this country to start reading was the reading it was also the reformation created the reformation that created the idea conscience and political idea of conscience and Political Liberties freedom and the liberties and freedom and the whole idea of justice and everything that underpins our sense norms within that in sense of norms within that in law and in our relationships equality, freedom and those things. But on top of that, when nietzsche said god is dead, the whole idea of religion on the one and politics on the one hand and politics on the other, weve now other, weve got this now cavern, this gap where cavern, weve got this gap where people feel part of ideas people dont feel part of ideas. Said, truth is your. They said, my truth is your truth. Isnt a sense truth. And there isnt a sense of authority about any these of authority about any of these things, principles. Things, about the principles. And we do need to and i think we do need to resuscitate sense what we resuscitate a sense of what we and us, the idea the and us, the idea of the constitution, we the people write people write this because often people mock it and they go, oh, and they of say, well, you they sort of say, well, you know, the litany of the know, the whole litany of the history, terrible history, its all terrible things happened. And things that have happened. And actually the majority of the things have a remarkable things we have done a remarkable thing, thing, civilisation thing, this thing, civilisation , the , people, civilisation, the whole idea that we can have these freedoms , these these political freedoms, these liberties created this liberties weve created this incredible world and weve got problems , but the we sort it problems, but the way we sort it out once again to have the out is once again to have the majority people in majority of people involved in it and not just have these like technocrats that telling technocrats and all that telling us is the way and weve got us this is the way and weve got to able to do that together. To be able to do that together. Well, there you go. Look, to be able to do that together. \aflies here you go. Look, to be able to do that together. \aflies whenou go.
