Andersons real. World im delighted to be joined tonight with Edwina Currie, former cabinet minister back in the day. Edwina. Things have changed over the years. I mean, youre going to politics, what, 30 odd years ago , if he was around years ago, if he was around today little bit younger, today a little bit younger, would you , you know, put your would you, you know, put your hat in the ring and stand for parliament again. 7 parliament again . I so, i hope so , because i hope so, i hope so, because in the end, if you want to get things done, if you want to get things done, if you want to get things changed, if you want to help people yourself or help people like yourself or people where youre people in an area where youre living, then politics is the way to do it. And being in government is the way to do it. I was i was very lucky to have that opportunity. I was able to do that and was fascinating. Do that and it was fascinating. It interesting. You know, it was interesting. You know, every different. Could every day is different. I could never work in an office. I could i could never do a normal job. But politics for me was wonderful. But back the day, wonderful. But back in the day, edwina, was more of edwina, i suppose it was more of a mans world in the house of commons. Look around. Today is about 30 people in the chamber 30 of the people in the chamber that women and i suppose that are women and i suppose its more accessible now for women to get into politics. How difficult was it back the day difficult was it back in the day for to get into the for a woman to get into the house of commons . Well, imagine if were one of 23 blokes in if you were one of 23 blokes in a house of over 600 women. Might feel a little you might feel a little outnumbered, mightnt you . Yeah you know, i mean, you might enjoy it, but nonetheless you would really would feel thats really strange. Thats how it was strange. And thats how it was for i got elected for us. The year i got elected first time was 83, which was margaret thatchers second big, big, big, big result. It was after the falklands war. And that was when we had a huge majority and even so we had 23 women in the house. We had 13 tories and ten labour and none of the others, you know, the liberals or any of the others had any. Women at all. I know we had any. Women at all. I know we had any. Women at all. I know we had the prime minister, but even so, it did feel odd. On the other hand, ive been involved in politics for a long time. Ive been helping to run the city of birmingham. I come from liverpool used to liverpool and i was used to being, know, the only woman being, you know, the only woman in the room or the only woman in the wasnt going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing wasnt going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up,asnt going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you know; to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you know whato the washing up, you know what i mean . And that meant that i would sit table and would sit at the table and i would sit at the table and i would argue and i would talk, and i would find myself still in the the men long the debate with the men long after everybody else had gone, well, its great to have you here, weve also got here, edwina, but weve also got some people in the room tonight. Got our left in the weve got our left in the corner. I say lefts weve got lisa she. Shes an Lisa Mckenzie. She. Shes an anarchist and weve got Andy Mcdonald, whos trade unionist mcdonald, whos a trade unionist and going and matthew laza. Hes going to talk 13, 13 years sorry of talk about 13, 13 years sorry of tory role. Thanks guys for coming. Going to coming. I think were going to talk women talk about now women in politics. Edwina think politics. Oh edwina do you think its right that Political Parties have all women shortlists. No i dont and always no i dont and ive always thought was wrong. And ill thought it was wrong. And ill tell you for why. Because uh, people felt people who have felt discriminated against as women did ever practice did should never, ever practice discrimination did should never, ever practice discriwhich on what an all women else, which is what an all women shortlist is. So its far shortlist is. So so its far better what david better to do what i think David Cameron did originally when he was in opposition. He was opposition trying Opposition Leader who was trying to women into the to get more women into the conservative and what he conservative side and what he said was, when you do a Selection Committee and ive sat on loads of them, you must have equal numbers of men and women candidates coming forward. So that means youve got to make the effort to get more women or more under represented groups. Okay, thats the way to do it, because then youre nurturing people, youre encouraging, youre somebody on the youre tapping somebody on the shoulder saying, well, shoulder and saying, well, i hear say. What a great hear what you say. What a great have you ever thought of standing for parliament . I kc matthew laza hes staring into space over there. Over matthew. Im afraid. I mean, edwina is, you know, a pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great for people to a great example for people to get into, women to get involved. A great example for people to get all , women to get involved. A great example for people to get all , wome|shortlists1volved. A great example for people to get all , wome|shortlists haveed. But all women shortlists have their place. They are the reason why, uh, the Labour Parliamentary Party is 5050. Um, and hopefully they will over time wont be needed. But at the moment they, um, they had their place. Yeah, but the trouble is, of course, the standard problem yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie standard problem yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if,|ndard problem yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, asard problem yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as ad problem yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman m yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman ,1 yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman , you with this is if, as a woman, you get the list and youre get through the list and youre only competing against other women, youre competing women, then youre not competing against comers. And know against all comers. And you know , with the greatest possible respect, i think this is proven by the fact that a heck of a lot of the women you got in the labour party are absolutely useless. Oh dear. Oh dear. I certainly disagree with that. Over to you, lisa. Well, look, actually with you. Look, i actually agree with you. Think there should be i dont think there should be all women shortlists just because us, the because i think for us, the party system is the Party Political system is the problem. Might an all problem. So you might get an all woman shortlist. But every one of them is sort of a shoo in or one, of them is one, at least one of them is a shoo in that the Political Party want, as the mp. I mean, you know, were in sutton in ashfield. Ive seen this happen ashfield. Ive seen this happen for 40 years here. You know, that westminster sends their people, um, so it doesnt matter if its all woman or all man shortlist. You know, the Political Party will make sure they get what they want. Hello . Im satire. Lisa, i was at parachuted in. No, andy, over to you. Over to you. Well, i mean, i dont agree with all women shortlists. I think theyre fundamentally flawed because, you know, like lisa said, get they lisa said, theyll get who they want particularly want really, particularly in certain parties coming to certain parties coming up to elections. Want to have elections. They want to have their hq candidates in their central hq candidates in key seats like ashfield and these kind of red wall seats that both parties want to have. But think there is a place, but i think there is a place, like edwina actually to like edwina said, actually to ensure that there is at least half women, half men, or if youre going racial of youre going on a racial kind of thing, theres half bame, thing, if theres half bame, half think there is half white, i think there is that space increase that kind that space to increase that kind of demographic parliament of demographic in parliament because at least because its needed or at least it needed historically. It has been needed historically. So , thats three one so matthew, thats three one against if was gb news im against if i was gb news im used to, but i mean, i mean, i mean, seriously, lee, i mean, you know, you work for an mp here who was who works for gb news, who was selected by an all women did a great women shortlist and did a great job representing ashfield. Women shortlist and did a great job and asenting ashfield. Women shortlist and did a great job and we 1ting ashfield. Women shortlist and did a great job and we campaignedi. Women shortlist and did a great job and we campaigned for her together. They would all make great mps. Why dont stand . Yes. Mps. Why dont you stand . Yes. No. Stand, lisa wants no. Dont you stand, lisa wants to the system. To smash the system. Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. I just dont want i just want. I dont want this. Smash the system this. You cant smash the system by sitting on a bar stool. No well, i dont know. I mean, you can lot by sitting on a bar can do a lot by sitting on a bar stool, but no , its been stool, but no, its been been a member of parliament. Would not be my. You. If you want the best if you. If you want the best people in parliament and you look at the ones are there look at the ones that are there now and that applies whatever your and you your Political Party is and you think, know what i could think, do you know what i could do . At least a good job. You may well in which well be right. Yeah. In which case put yourself forward. Case you put yourself forward. Start perhaps in local start off perhaps in local Government Council government stand for the council and run things and learn how to run things locally. Its not as easy as it looks from sitting on a bar stool, but by, by golly, its a hell of a lot more worthwhile. Look, edwina, year well, look, edwina, next year we a general we should have a general election. The end of election. Maybe by the end of the uh, almost definitely. The year. Uh, almost definitely. And labour party are 20 and the labour party are 20 points ahead in the polls. They seem to think theyve got it in the bag. The thing that concerns me, they get the keys to me, if they do get the keys to number 10 momentum. Theyre number 10 is momentum. Theyre bubbung number 10 is momentum. Theyre bubbling under the bubbling along under the surface. Trade surface. Weve got some trade unions making nasty unions who are making some nasty noises at moment. You, mick noises at the moment. You, mick lynchs world, a lynchs of this world, is it a problem . They still there problem . Are they still there and they influence the and will they influence the labour once get in . Labour party once they get in . Course theyre still of course theyre still there. Course theyre still there. Of course theyre still there. Of course theyre still there. You believe doesnt there. What you believe doesnt change, deeply change, especially very deeply held theyre held beliefs. Even if theyre complete if they complete nonsense, even if they are actually against the welfare of whole nation. As of the whole nation. As obviously momentum is. But i grew up in liverpool. I obviously momentum is. But i grew up in liverpool. I mean, you know, momentum by another name was there militant . It was called militant. I went to school with people like derek hatton and youll get a mixture of people. You get people who are very sincere and really do believe the marxism and all believe all the marxism and all the and youll get the other rubbish and youll get some piggyback who some who piggyback on that, who see opportunities power. And see opportunities for power. And when see both of those when you see both of those sprinkled through the current benches of the labour party , um, benches of the labour party, um, if they get into any, any form of power , theyre going to be of power, theyre going to be very dangerous for our country because what they will do is give in to every strike thats going. They will give in to the railwaymen, theyll give in to the doctors, theyll give in to the doctors, theyll give in to the teachers. Inflation then becomes know this becomes rampant and we know this because before. Becomes rampant and we know this because you before. Becomes rampant and we know this because you find before. Becomes rampant and we know this because you find that before. Becomes rampant and we know this because you find that the re. And then you find that the people who are most disadvantaged are the poorest in society. Thats what would happen. Rampant inflation. Rampant inflation. Didnt have that in rampant inflation. 13 didnt have that in rampant inflation. 13 years didnt have that in rampant inflation. 13 years of dnt have that in rampant inflation. 13 years of the have that in rampant inflation. 13 years of the labour1at in the 13 years of the Labour Government had. And government that we had. And instead 13 years of instead weve had 13 years of failure. Edwina, youre failure. I mean, edwina, youre doing youre on the doing a great job. Youre on the left the tory party um, and left of the tory party um, and you be embarrassed by the you must be embarrassed by the shower weve at the shower that weve got at the moment at and how they how moment at and how they and how they behaving. So, no, look they behaving. Um, so, no, look whats happened inside the labour membership. Lot labour membership. Is that a lot of members have left, over 150,000 left, about 150,000 people have left, about 100,000 people joined 100,000 new people have joined keir taken an keir starmer is has taken an iron grip, which i think might actually be a point of contention amongst certain contention amongst with certain people unions and people in the trade unions and iron on the selection iron grip on the selection procedures so that the next generation who be generation of mps who will be coming the election, even coming in in the election, even in seats that labour only has a 5050 chance of winning, uh, will be starmer and so be in the starmer mould. And so momentum no power. Loses momentum has no power. It loses elections the elections internally all the time. Of course, are time. Of course, there are always a few people from the traditional left in labour traditional left in the labour party, were people party, just as there were people on the far right and the tories. Andy. Yeah, i mean, i dont know why you bring up mick lynch. Hes affiliated to the hes not affiliated to the labour rmt is not labour party. The rmt is not affiliated the labour affiliated to the labour party. They since the they havent been since what the late 80s, 90s. You know, late 80s, early 90s. You know, they see mps they actually you see labour mps on picket lines with them. On the picket lines with them. Yeah. Yeah. And solidarity to them. You know i think its actually if youre worried about the leadership, starmer stopped leadership, keir starmer stopped any of his frontbench going out on picket i think on the picket lines. So i think if youre looking at that as a point of contention, thats not real. You real. You look at the if you look the internal internally look at the internal internally elected committees elected democratic committees in the the nec, the the labour party, the nec, the National Policy forum, the young laboun National Policy forum, the young labour, students, National Policy forum, the young labo all students, National Policy forum, the young labo all keir students, National Policy forum, the young labo all Keir Starmers. They all took Keir Starmers mould, labour to win mould, the labour to win faction, not momentum faction, not the momentum faction. Just lying faction. So youre just lying there, lying. There, not lisa, youre lying. Oh i mean listen, i am i dont think the labour party is, uh, my, my interest politics uh, my, my interest in politics has been about working has always been about working class working class politics, working class representation, class representation, working class peoples worth as peoples lives, being worth as much anybody elses. Now much as anybody elses. Now thats what the labour party is there for. No its not. Look at angela rayner. Look at angela rayner. No no no no no. The labour party, the labour party has not been for working class people since, i dont know, the 19 early 1970s, the labour party say to the millions of say that to the millions of benefit minimum minimum benefit from the minimum minimum wage which tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage we h tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage we a tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage we a minimum opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage we a minimum wage sed, that which we a minimum wage was that the wage was actually a the minimum wage was actually a cop because what it did is cop out because what it did is it stagnated wages for about 15 years. So the minimum wage was tony blairs way of keeping labour cheap. So, you know, labour cheap. So, you know, lets not lets not put, um , lets not lets not put, um, nostalgia about the labour party. See, matthew upsetting anarchists now, arent you , anarchists now, arent you, edwina . Oh. With you, thats my role. Theyre splitting hairs. And theyre splitting hairs. And thats because theyre sitting on the bar stools at the bar. Thats what you do when you sit like that and not getting like that and youre not getting really involved at local level. For , constituencies for example, in constituencies like in high peak, we can like mine in high peak, we can see the very left wing of the labour party , very much active. Labour party, very much active. Itake labour party, very much active. I take what you say about the nec and the and the higher levels of the labour party. You havent taken over by keir havent been taken over by keir starmer , but at level they starmer, but at local level they are still there, theyre still there. They choosing there. They are choosing candidates. Ones candidates. Theyre the ones that out door knocking. That go out door knocking. Theyre the ones who made sure, for example, that didnt get for example, that i didnt get elected to the county council when stood a couple years when i stood a couple of years ago, that of thing. And ago, that sort of thing. And thats also where you get that flicker of anti semitism and nastiness had to be nastiness that has had to be clamped , very hard. Its clamped on very, very hard. Its just under the surface. Go and have look at some the have a look at some of the people who on the marches people who went on the marches recently people recently or certainly people who needed to leave the party. And theyve left the party. Keir has been absolutely firm and clear. Um, and, and but theyve not left party, theyve not left the party, though matthew, jeremy corbyn, look list of people. Look at the list of people. Its not left. Its still party members. A lot a lot of no, no, no a lot a lot of people have have who have anybody whos the cases have anybody whos all the cases have been out and anybody been processed out and anybody who should has left. Who should have left has left. I mean, you just ask our jewish comrades um, comrades who were unhappy, um, quite comrades who were unhappy, um, quhe dunng comrades who were unhappy, um, quite during , quite rightly unhappy during, uh, jeremys leadership. Uh, uh, jeremys leadership. Uh, now, i think that he has done absolutely the right thing. And its the Jewish Labour Movement that i listen to on these issues. I mean, i mean, the labour party and actually most of the trade unions now are, are full of of middle class of sort of middle class bourgeois so yeah, im bourgeois left. So yeah, im sorry, all of them are sorry, not all of them are middle class. Sorry, not all of them are micmiddle ss. Sorry, not all of them are micmiddle class, not all of middle class, not all of them, but quite well, actually. I mean, even mick lynch, they asked someone asked him whether someone whos earns £100,000 and got £1 million mortgage, are they working class . Mick lynch said yes. So i dont know where hes. Yes. So i dont know where hes. I dont know what hes going on in the tuc, in the Labour Movement and in the trade unions. But i know not one of them talks the language of class for me. For me. So i know, i know, i think well ended on that note because thats good point, lisa. Actually, i agree with you. But edwina, uh, thanks for that guys at the bar. Lisa matthew and andy, thanks for that. Its been a brilliant debate. More from Edwina Currie shortly. But from Edwina Currie shortly. But first were going to talk to emily barley about the heartbreaking story of the loss of her baby back in 2022. World seems to care less about a lasting ceasefire. Lasting ceasefire. Youre listening. To. Youre listening. To. Youre listening. To. Joining me now is emily barley , who sadly lost her baby barley, who sadly lost her baby beatrice in in may 2022. Um, i know Barnsley Hospital have apologised for failures , but, apologised for failures, but, emily, tell us what happened. Emily, tell us what happened. Yeah, i think often when a baby dies, people have an impression as though its a chaotic environment and something terrible happens all at once and maybe staff that are overworked and, you know, make human mistakes. Overworked and, you know, make human mistakes. Thats not what human mistakes. Thats not what happened to us. What happened to us is that i was ignored for hours , hour after hour after hours, hour after hour after hours, hour after hour after hour. I hours, hour after hour after hour. I was hours, hour after hour after hour. I was dismissed. So i was being a dramatic first time mum when i was raising concerns because my labour wasnt normal. Because my labour wasnt normal. Midwives were rolling their eyes, shrugging their shoulders , eyes, shrugging their shoulders, turning away, just not listening , which meant that some really , which meant that some really, really important red flags were missed. And then as my labour went on monitoring of beatrices heart showed that she was struggling and then it showed that she was dying and nobody did anything about it. It was as though they were fixed in this opinion that everything was fine and i was just being dramatic. Even when in the evidence was showing. It really wasnt okay. And in the end, that meant that when we should have been rushed to theatre for an emergency caesarean, it ofsted. That didnt happen. And i had three midwives and two doctors in the room standing around doing nothing, just a few minutes before they found that beatrice had died. The consultant obstetrician was laughing. Obstetrician was laughing. I guess going through that, you must have felt helpless. Yeah , yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, being in labour and having a baby is such a vulnerable time anyway. And to be asking for help and not getting any and nobody listening. And my mum with me, there is my birthing partner. She was brilliant. She was not just asking, she was telling, demanding, shouting. In the end and just being ignored. You really are just in their hands and theres nothing that you can do. Emily, what do you want to happen now . I know youve got a campaign going. Whats your end goal . So ive joined together with a load of other bereaved families from all over the country, because my case is, what happened to me in beatrice is unique. Its is far from unique. Its happening everywhere, around happening everywhere, all around the. So weve joined the country. So weve joined together to call for a statutory National Inquiry to National Public inquiry to really underscore and not just why this is happening, but why it keeps on happening. After it keeps on happening. After all, the local investigations and all the National Schemes and Everything Else thats been tried, its just not working. And now pretty much every day of the year, a baby dies because of negligence in the nhs. Negligence in the nhs. And when youre going through that , that difficult labour and that, that difficult labour and youre making these observations, these complaints , observations, these complaints, why dont they listen to you . Emily do they know better . Emily do they know better . I think part of it is that they do think they know better, but theres a real culture of complacency , a culture of not complacency, a culture of not listening to mums. I think as well a culture of not really caring. And thats not just among clinicians. Caring. And thats not just among clinicians. Thats all the among clinicians. Thats all the way up the chain through the nhs. As chief executives of hospital and people at nhs england, people at the cqc, they kind of tolerate this. They think its they think its normal. Well, like babies just normal. Well, like babies just die sometimes and they dont. But lets be clear. I mean i mean most people that work in within the nhs are good, decent, hard working people. They save lots of lives every day and we never see the headunes every day and we never see the headlines that kingsmoor hospital saves a life. But when we tragic, heartbreaking we had the tragic, heartbreaking stories this, it brings it stories like this, it brings it home because im actually deaung home because im actually dealing with a case not too dissimilar to this in my constituency, where negligence and i think negligence has cost and i think negligence has cost a couple of parents their babys life. But and this is critical because. For pregnant women, for because. For pregnant women, for new mothers, for new fathers, this is where where life starts. And i think sometimes maybe that the Maternity Department at hospitals, because you see that many babies being born, its like can be like a production line, cant it . And they should you should have picked those, those signs up, surely. Yeah. They do often yeah. I think they do often treat labour as though its normal. Theres nothing to see here. No problem. But its here. No problem. But its actually, you know, being born is one of the most dangerous, riskiest times of anybodys life. Um, and in the past, you know, before modern medicine loads more babies died, and we shouldnt be expecting babies to die. Now we should be expecting them to live. But instead, there is this culture of complacency. Theres a culture of not listening. And it doesnt just result in deaths of babies. Every year, hundreds more babies are brain damaged because of negligence. Mums suffer horrible physical injuries. And i think physical injuries. And i think actually a lot of mums , when you actually a lot of mums, when you speak to them, they might have come through labour and birth relatively okay and their babies are okay, they didnt have are okay, but they didnt have a good experience they werent good experience and they werent treated well. So this campaign youve so this campaign that youve got the how do got going at the moment, how do people get involved with that campaign . Were called the maternity safety alliance. Find us online and can help us by pledging and you can help us by pledging your support, writing to your mp and yeah. Have you wrote to your mp . Have you wrote to your mp . Yes. Yes. So get plenty of support. So you get plenty of support. So you get plenty of support. I am from my mp. Okay. Um, weve written to the government as so far weve been as well. And so far weve been ignored. Two months ignored. Coming up on two months now and not single response. Now and not a single response. Guess what you okay, so i guess what you need to do is, is call your mp again and even write to me. I can take that up for you as well, even though youre not my constituent. Definitely do constituent. Ill definitely do that youve got that for you. So if youve got one final message for the im not having go at the staff at not having a go at the staff at the nhs because theyre brilliant, but actual brilliant, but the actual managers, managers, managers, the trust managers, the on managers, the trust managers, the huge on managers, the trust managers, the huge salaries, on managers, the trust managers, the huge salaries, what n managers, the trust managers, the huge salaries, what would these huge salaries, what would your message be to them . You need get a grip of you need to get a grip of this. Babies dying not this. Babies dying is not normal. Okay. And normal. Its not okay. And you cant keep on accepting it. Cant just keep on accepting it. Emily thank you for sharing your story. Thanks, darling. Thank you. Thanks, darling. Thank you. Next, Edwina Currie returns and shes going to be taking some questions from the good people of ashfield youre listening to gb news radio. So ive got all my guests radio. So ive got all my guests on the stage now. Its great. Weve got arduino, weve got lisa, got andy and weve got matthew. Well talk about real poverty now we can speak about back in the day what poverty was really like growing up in a like like growing up in a place like ashfield. That and ashfield. Lisa knows that and andy knows that. But i remember back day where we didnt back in the day where we didnt have much money, we didnt have much money, um, we didnt rely food banks. You know, rely on food banks. You know, a lot people grew vegetables, lot of people grew vegetables, had allotments, relied on that as as our top up for our as our as our top up for our parents income. Didnt parents income. So we didnt consider being in real consider ourselves being in real poverty. Remember clothes we used to clothes. Mothers used to buy clothes. My mothers here buy clothes from here used to buy clothes from the catalogue, about the catalogue, pay about £0. 70 a week for a new jumper. I think the order cost about two weeks. Andy, there. But andy, that jumper there. But thats you. Lets go to you thats you. Lets go to you first. Real poverty. Yeah i mean look real poverty does exist the country. And does exist in the country. And it has got worse under the 13 years of this tory government. And you as you well know, um, of course we can discuss real poverty is real poverty not having netflix . No. Is real poverty not having a tv and having the basic amenities of life that people can expect in this day. And age, then yes. So of course its the definition of what poverty changes as what real poverty is, changes as the country gets, as the countries got richer. Um, but its of course it exists. And its of course it exists. And its got worse. Edwina yeah, well, i think many older people remember when for example, youd wake up in the morning and thered be ice on the inside of the window pane in your bedroom, and you didnt know what a duvet was or no such thing. It was a continental quilt. Well, that was it. I mean, im im not for us. Youre not. Your names not edwina. Sorry yeah. And, um, we used to get the stuff that used to come from from canada. Our cousins in canada. And they would send a whole hand me down. And whole box of hand me down. And thats what i get to wear. And wrapped inside it would be bits of chocolate and stuff , because of chocolate and stuff, because we had rationing till i was nine years old. So older people really were not dismissive of the problems that people have today. Um, but we have experienced far more and, and lee is quite right that actually its often relative. Its what you get and what youve got compared with other people. To me, real poverty is something quite different. Real poverty is when theres no dad there, when the family, the dads gone , the the family, the dads gone, the moment the baby has arrived, hes off. Uh, the women are left on their own with with the children. And having to struggle. The real poverty is when those kids going to when those kids are going to school and theres. Theres not a normal family life there. And they that really , really they find that really, really tough. Poverty is sort of tough. Real poverty is a sort of a story that you hear from kids in care. Lisa. Thats really thats real for me. Yes i did, yeah. And when i grew up, i mean, i grew up in the 70s. We had ice on the inside of our windows. Um i lived in a council house. Was worse than yours. Was worse than yours. Uh, well, my well , my uh, well, my well, my granddad, well, my granddad, i live with grandma live with my grandma and granddad granddad worked granddad and my granddad worked down he digging down the pit and he was digging coal, i down the pit and he was digging coal , i lived in down the pit and he was digging coal, i lived in a coal, and i still lived in a freezing cold house. In fact, my, overarching had free my, my overarching had free coal. Well free. Yeah, they had free. They were digging it. They were going underground and my miners had free and they well, it wasnt free coal. It was part of their wage. It was concession. It was a concession. It was a concession. It was a concession. It was part of their wage. But, um, i mean, youve got to youve poverty, so youve youve got poverty, so youve got absolute poverty that means when their when people die from their poverty and then got poverty and then youve got relative poverty, which is about how measure people , you how you measure people, you know, in relative for and me, poverty should be defined as , as poverty should be defined as, as people should have a life lived with dignity. And if that dignity is taken away from them, either through, um, debt or not having enough food or your kids being sent to school, not you know, not with enough stuff , you know, not with enough stuff, you know, not with enough stuff, you know, whether its food or clothing or whatever. Thats not living a life with dignity. So for me, if youre not living a life with dignity, you live in poverty. So i guess there was plenty of poor people back in the day when, when edwina was growing up and definitely my mother back in the 50s, they had no the 40s and 50s, they had no money at all, but they lived a dignified life and they. Mean, i grew in yeah, i mean, i grew up in mansfield in a different day to you, in that jumper, in this jumper. No, this is 2017. Nexts finest christmas line. I dont know why youre giving it so much hate. Its beautiful. Um, but up in but but no, i grew up in mansfield. I didnt grow up in ashfield. But grew up in a ashfield. Um, but i grew up in a bit of different time. But bit of a different time. But edwina about people edwina talks about people freezing homes you freezing in their homes and, you know, the 70s 80s and know, the 70s and 80s and a little earlier, i think it little bit earlier, i think it was early, a bit earlier. I would never assume i would never assume, um, you know, assume, um, but, you know, looking at that time. But technology advanced. Why are technology has advanced. Why are people their people still freezing in their homes got all of homes now . And weve got all of the advancements, even the advancements, you know, even just the different just looking at the different glazes windows, know, glazes of windows, you know, youve different types of youve got different types of central had such central heating. Youve had such technical, technological central heating. Youve had such technicalyet hnological central heating. Youve had such technicalyet hnologiare still advance, yet people are still living ways. Its living in similar ways. Its just in the just a e because someone in the audience out, weve audience is shouting out, weve got who wants to got a lady here who wants to talk about poverty. Yeah, mean, in yeah, i mean, ive lived in this area for 30 years now. I grew in derbyshire and, i grew up in derbyshire and, you ive got a friend that you know, ive got a friend that runs a local pub in selston, the railway inn, and they are certainly not seeing poverty. If theres certainly not seeing poverty. If thereipoor and not having money, being poor and not having money, you can be poor and still go out and enjoy yourself. Real and enjoy yourself. The real people bottom end of the people at the bottom end of the line that are suffering from poverty venues poverty arent coming to venues like going local like this or going to the local chippy. Leona, our local chippy. I mean, leona, our local chippy. I mean, leona, our local chip packed every friday chip is packed every friday night, the queuing down the streets. Thats poverty. So streets. Thats not poverty. So when talk poverty, when people talk about poverty, they about, well, they need to think about, well, do that or do i want do i need that or do i want that . Theres a difference. Shes actually right though, because poverty. Because we talk about poverty. But is the chip but the takeaway is the chip shops mcdonalds, kfcs shops and mcdonalds, the kfcs there. because theyre well, its because theyre cheaper alternatives. Well, theyre get theyre not cheaper. You can get you mcdonalds, get you can mcdonalds, you can get a full meal for 3. 99. Well, theyre that is objectively theyre all that is objectively a alternative. Theyre all that is objectively a lets alternative. Theyre all that is objectively a lets talkernative. Theyre all that is objectively a lets talk aboute. Lets talk about food poverty. Lets talk about obesity. We talk the junk obesity. We talk about the junk food readily available food thats readily available now. Food places were now. The fast food places were seeing, were telling people that in that off the countrys in poverty. Our kids are starving. Poverty. Our kids are starving. Yet in the next breath, the same people are saying that weve got an obesity crisis and we havent got crisis. How does got an obesity crisis. How does that work . Edwina, youre a former minister. Former health minister. Does it work . It works how does it work . It works from eating too much. From people eating too much. Its as that. And its as simple as that. And i can with a bit of can say that with a bit of a smile, because im the only one at this table. Thats got a diet dnnk at this table. Thats got a diet drink on it. And thats because yesterday i went to the slimming drink on it. And thats because yesteand i went to the slimming drink on it. And thats because yesteand byrvent to the slimming drink on it. And thats because yesteand by god, to the slimming drink on it. And thats because yesteand by god, its1e slimming drink on it. And thats because yesteand by god, its1e sliwithng club and by god, its still with me. To be careful. Oh me. Ive got to be careful. Oh my god. Um, it matters. I mean, as a former health minister, we used campaign on all this used to campaign on all this stuff. Wish health stuff. I wish Health Ministers did it. Did that rather more that they would say people, that they would say to people, live the full, live your life to the full, enjoy but if youre enjoy yourself. But if youre going eat a youve got going to eat a lot, youve got to lot. Youve got to to walk a lot. Youve got to exercise, youve to get out. Exercise, youve got to get out. Thats you teach kids thats what you teach your kids eat some get some eat some fruit, get some vegetables, that sort of vegetables, all that sort of thing. Live a balanced life and you will live a healthy. I to to matthew, i want to come to you. Im not having this nonsense junk food is nonsense about junk food is cheaper fresh because cheaper than fresh food because its prove that in an its not. We prove that in an experiment a couple years experiment a couple of years back fresh back by getting fresh ingredients with chef and ingredients with the chef and with food bank. With children and the food bank. We making meals. Got we were making meals. Ive got the but we made 172 the top 30, but we made 172 meals for £50. Yeah. I mean, obviously that was controversial was a very controversial intervention. But youre right. I one of the things i mean, and one of the things that in schools now that we dont do in schools now is dont teach people how to is we dont teach people how to cook. A subject thats cook. Its a subject thats fallen the end of fallen off the at the end of the, of the school curriculum. And it shouldnt have done have done so because it is obviously cheaper meals cheaper to make your own meals than mcdonalds. Um to than go to mcdonalds. Um or to the chippy. But not to the chippy. But thats not to say people shouldnt be the chippy. But thats not to say to people shouldnt be the chippy. But thats not to say to go eople shouldnt be the chippy. But thats not to say to go to le shouldnt be the chippy. But thats not to say to go to mcdonalds be the chippy. But thats not to say to go to mcdonalds now and able to go to mcdonalds now and then, even if theyre not very well off, because kids need to, you other you know, experience what other kids experiencing. Kids are experiencing. But yeah, i look, its a mixture of i mean, look, its a mixture of taking responsibility for yourself government, yourself and the government, takinglts not not an and or situation. Sorry guys. Weve got somebody behind the bar, the lovely zoe. She wants to ask a question. Zoe id just like pick well, id just like to pick up on the point of the obesity crisis and the biggest problem that weve within nhs that weve got within the nhs is the upside the food pyramid. Its upside down. Telling you down. What . Theyre telling you to away from, whats to stay away from, whats causing gain the causing the weight gain is the amount carbohydrates theyre amount of carbohydrates theyre recommending daily. You recommending daily. And if you turn down eat turn that upside down and eat whats telling whats from what theyre telling you away from, so they you to stay away from, so they electrocute out. Absolutely right. Matthew absolutely right. Matthew well, as we know, um , we know well, as we know, um, we know lots of people like gloria, who used to be the mp here who thrive on keto. I you know, i thrive on keto. I you know, i dont do it because its im obviously thank you very. Oh, lee, now im going to ask you nasty questions when i in the yes no look, i think its yes no quiz. Look, i think its about people taking responsibility themselves about people taking responsi government mselves about people taking responsi government making and the government making sensible policy decisions. But you one without the other. But thats. But thats exactly the sort of line that i was taking. Yeah, absolutely. Was taking. Yeah, absolutely. But can i and you were there in the talks a lot of abuse. Yeah. But can i, can we also just put a spotlight on the Food Producers well who are producers as well who are voracious eat all this food.
