In other news, the campaign against anti semitism is calling for the met police to chief resign or be sacked over the forces handling of pro palestinian demonstrations after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti semitism activist , gideon falter was activist, gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a pro palestinian march by the officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. The force has since apologised twice. The policing minister will meet the met Police Commissioner in the next week to discuss concerns about the officers comments. Today, pro israel demonstrators held a peaceful counter protest in Central London, called enough is enough. The group says hatred has no place on the streets of the caphal cant walk through Central London with a yarmulke on your head. No signs of any israeli flag or support for israel, or any views on on what may be going on in the middle east. But if youre not allowed to walk across the street in Central London because are openly london because you are openly jewish, then its time for the government to act. Itsjust government to act. Its just sad that its that it has come to this, that its now regarded as not completely safe for jewish people to walk in the streets of their own own own city and not only is it distressing and vile as their views are, the distressing thing, its also becoming becoming normalised. Becoming normalised. Meanwhile, pro Palestinian Protesters have been marching in sheffield demanding a ceasefire in gaza. Theyre accusing israel in gaza. Theyre accusing israel of using famine as a weapon of war, and criticised the government for continuing to arm the country. The palestine the country.

Welcome to mark dolan tonight, your perfect saturday night in. Lovely to have your company in the big story after a humiliating double apology for telling a londoner he looked effectively too jewish at a pro palestine march, british policing has lost the plot. Ill get reaction from top royal author tom bower, whose parents were jewish refugees. Plus, ill be dealing with our hopeless cops in no Uncertain Terms with my first Public Comments on this story. In my take at ten plus, Victoria Beckham at 50. My verdict in my take at ten. Meanwhile, as a former pub in hull controversially becomes a 24 hour gambling venue, does britain risk becoming a country of betting addicts . Ill be asking my mark meets guest football legend Peter Shiltons wife steffi, who has helped peter in his own 45 year battle against gambling as he sits in court this week. Could his legal travails keep donald trump out of the white house in november . Also, has joe biden thrown israel under the bus . And has prince harry finally turned his back on the United Kingdom . Ill be asking fearless political commentator and the woman known as americas psychiatrist, doctor carol lieberman. Plus, tomorrows newspaper front pages at 1030, with three top pundits who havent been told what to say and who dont follow the script tonight, political commentator Benedict Spence, broadcaster and author nina myskow, and model and tv personality diana moran. Plus, personality diana moran. Plus, looking forward to this story as locals in the Canary Islands protest against tourism and write graffiti telling us brits to go home. Are brits abroad a National Disgrace . Ill be asking the well travelled political double act neil and Christine Hamilton. Plus the most important part of the show your emails. They come straight to my laptop mark gbnews. Com, and this show has a golden rule we dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. The met police and Victoria Beckham at ten. But first my big opinion. Oh no. Labour have destroyed documents that could have revealed Angela Rayners living arrangement. Is that the same arrangement. Is that the same shredder that got rid of Nicola Sturgeon . Covid whatsapp sturgeon . Covid whatsapp messages . Why cant all important political documents stay in the cloud . Just like your holiday snaps from tenerife in 2011, when you had a bit of a beer belly and burnt arms . Its funny, isnt it, how these politicians get rid of any material that could bring them embarrassment or get them in trouble. If only we could do the same when filling out our tax returns. Sir same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir starmer same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir starmer has been getting very butch lately. Last week he said that he would happily press the Nuclear Button. Bit of a u turn following his enthusiastic support for Jeremy Corbyn to become Prime Minister. Just a few short years ago, the same corbyn who wanted to get rid of Nuclear Weapons and refused to confirm that he would press the Nuclear Button if britain were under attack. Well, the latest is that starmer wants to build on the green belt, which many imagine is sunny pastures but much of which is in fact a glorified car park. Its rishi sunak who had to embarrassingly u turn with his own plans to build on the green belt following objections from local tories. So if a likely labour tories. So if a likely Labour Government is going to build baby build, then i say bring it on, get the spades out the concrete mixers and the diggers. Starmer the builder, can he fix it . Starmer the builder . Yes he can. We need more houses. Even a childrens cartoon character could tell you that now. I was on air last weekend when news broke that israel was under attack from iran with over 150 drones. It turns out that the vast majority of them were shot out of the sky. Thats the last time that the regime in tehran will buy their drones from argos. Meanwhile, israel, with one of the best equipped military in the best equipped military in the world, this week, responded rather conservative, launching a modest strike on iran with slightly better drones. Im guessing from john lewis. No guessing from john lewis. No reports of damage or casualties. Reports of damage or casualties. And lets be clear, as israel have demonstrated in recent months , they can cause damage if months, they can cause damage if they want to, but they chose not to. That is significant. Yes, this was a symbolic response, and i think measured. I think it was the right thing to do. A bit like when youre down the pub and you say to the bloke next to you, you spilled my pint and he says, well, you were looking at my girlfriend. Whilst tensions in middle grow by the in the middle east grow by the day, like this for tat day, it looks like this for tat war has played for now, and war has played out for now, and rather sparking world war rather than sparking world war iii, been a welcome iii, its been a welcome example of handbags at dawn. Come on lads, weve all had a drink. Its time everyone a its time for everyone to book a cab home. Who knew that cab and go home. Who knew that locking healthy , perfectly fit locking healthy, perfectly fit people up in their homes and paying people up in their homes and paying them to do nothing for three years in an attempt to stop a seasonal respiratory virus would turn the country into a bunch of layabouts. But even the Prime Minister who in a couple of months time is about to suffer his own bout of worklessness, is concerned about the millions of people who are now not active in the economy. Now not active in the economy. This is all fuelled, of course, by numpty gps doling out sick notes like mick jagger signing autographs at a concert. Its obvious that whilst some people really cannot work and must have our support , there are plenty of our support, there are plenty of others who are quite happy for the to state bankroll their lives. The problem is that if we all did that, the country would fall over. Its obviously not sustainable and i think youd find without such a generous safety net, those Mental Health issues would very quickly clear up. Having nothing to eat or having no roof over your head is likely to cure any feelings of doom and gloom as a result of too much time spent on twitter or instagram. The empathy and or instagram. The empathy and generosity of our welfare state, which i passionately believe in, are being exploited by too many people at your and my expense. People at your and my expense. Britain isnt working and eventually we will all pay the price. Lots of topics to debate price. Lots of topics to debate there. Your emails mark gbnews. Com ill get to your thoughts shortly. But first, tonights top pundits with me in the studio. Im delighted to have model and tv personality diana moran, political commentator Benedict Spence, and broadcaster and author nina myskow. Lovely to have all three of you with me. Happy saturday one and all. Happy saturday, nina myskow yes, i think lazy brits need a kick up the backside. Whats your view . There are genuinely people who are lazy and who have lived off the state for many years. Off the state for many years. Weve all known that its been, you know, decades ago. You could say that, but on the other hand, you know, we have to have compassion in society. We really do. We cant just just say everybodys, shiftless and working and smoking their dole money on the on the sofa while watching, you know, netflix and stuffing down doughnuts. Its life isnt like that. Were genuinely are in a cost of living crisis. And life is very, living crisis. And life is very, very hard for people. And i, i, i think that we, we have to, you know, have say compassion and look at it in a, in a, in a really , a more generous way. Really, a more generous way. Okay. Well, i think we have too much compassion. Diana moran. And i think the country is grinding to a halt. Whats your view . Well, i think your comment that you said empathy and generosity of welfare state generosity of the welfare state is being exploited. Thats my view of it, yes, of course, there are many people who have genuine reasons that they cant get to work, many of them long standing medical problems. But i think since covid that an awful lot of other people have decided its quite nice to stay at home. And if you say a few things and youve got a few mental few worries and the doctor gives you a note, then you can have a bit more time to yourself. And thats not right. As far as im concerned. Its not right for their mental state, because so many of them are saying theyve got mental problems to get out and about with people to work to literally get out the house, talk to other people , earn a bit talk to other people, earn a bit of money, bit of, you know, self pride again would lift peoples spirits , is going to work our spirits, is going to work our National Duty. Benedict spence oh National Duty i think it would help. It would depend if there was a bit more industry in this country. And there was actually, i think, a slightly more jobs. I know that theres often this thing that there are thing that said that there are lots jobs that need to be lots of jobs that need to be filled, why we need filled, and thats why we need mass but then when mass migration. But then when you at those you actually look at what those jobs they subsistence jobs are, they are subsistence level are, you know, level jobs. They are, you know, minimum what minimum wage jobs. What were looking million looking at is a million vacancies moment. Vacancies at the moment. Filled why arent they being filled by work . The by people who could work . The prime said that Prime Minister has said that its reasonable to imagine its not reasonable to imagine that three times sicker that we are three times sicker than we were years ago. Than we were ten years ago. This, to has the makings of this, to me, has the makings of a national scandal. Think if increase the i think if you increase the wages on offer for a lot of these jobs, actually, i think youd that lot of people youd find that a lot of people who currently on long terms who are currently on long terms sick actually sick would discover actually they work. They were motivated to work. Again. That is again. I think that that is ultimately boils down ultimately what it boils down to. Think does play to. And i think it does play into conversations mental into conversations around Mental Health course, if health as well. Of course, if youre no money and you are youre paid no money and you are unable and unable unable to save and unable to better youre going better yourself, youre going to better yourself, youre going to be very fragile be in a very sort of fragile mental state. Nobody wants that at think that the at all. And i think that the nature that we have nature of the jobs that we have now, menial work. Its not now, its menial work. Its not where you, know, upon where you, you know, once upon a time were, time mining or steelworks were, you jobs. You know, they were hard jobs. They easy. But there they were not easy. But there was a of community. There was a sense of community. There was a sense of community. There was sense camaraderie. You was a sense of camaraderie. You could to a lot of those towns could go to a lot of those towns now that doesnt anymore. Now that doesnt exist anymore. Thats where you see a lot of tough thats where you see a lot of tou tough i mean, you have tough luck . I mean, you have a choice, dont nina . A choice, dont you, nina . Youve whole career. Youve worked your whole career. I rather or £8 an i would rather earn 7 or £8 an hour than sit home and do nothing. Well, i so well, diane and i are prime examples of people who have whove long past our have whove worked long past our supposed by date, if you supposed sell by date, if you dont mind my saying. Point youll be well, at some point youll be 65 and have to consider retirement. But but the is, but but but the thing is, there other there are also other constrictions on people. There are many single mothers with children cannot afford the childcare. I know theres been big gestures about childcare, but you cant, so they cant afford to go out to work because they cant afford the childcare. They cant afford the childcare. I dont think were worried about though, are we . About mums though, are we . We are. Worried no we are. Were worried about all people. Were about all sorts of people. Were worried all sorts of worried about all sorts of people. Also people. And the thing is also when talking when were talking about sickness, completely sickness, were completely ignonng sickness, were completely ignoring long covid now, long covid, you know, not quite a Million People are supposed to have long covid. And its a genuine thing. Its a genuine thing. You cant you cannot ignore if youre ignore it. And if youre completely, totally fatigued and you out of you cannot even get out of bed or up a stair steps or climb up a stair of steps without having sit down, then without having to sit down, then , then that is not how are you going to work right . In the end, ultimately, but in the end, ultimately, benedict rishi sunak is a former chancellor and hes a money man and hes looked at the spreadsheets and hes looked at the bottom line, knows the bottom line, and he knows that not sustainable. That this is not sustainable. This level worklessness is this level of worklessness is simply a race to the bottom for the country. Yeah, hes right. Its an unsustainable money unsustainable amount of money that having to spend on that were having to spend on all these people. Then all of these people. But then you cant there with you cant sit there with a straight as chancellor of straight face as chancellor of the and say, also the exchequer and say, and also were to lots of were going to get lots of people in abroad people to come in from abroad and we and take jobs, even though we have these people sat have all of these people sat here, need to do is here, what you need to do is find a way of motivating those people already here and people who are already here and not work to back into. Not in work to get back into. The benefit well, is the benefit system too dont too generous . Because i dont understand need understand why people need motivation work. Motivation to go to work. Normally work because you normally you work because you have normally you work because you havyou to work and youve you have to work and youve got pride in yourself for working. You think working. And when you think about around about it just locally around you, got holes about it just locally around yotyeah, got holes about it just locally around yotyeah, we got holes about it just locally around yotyeah, we could got holes about it just locally around yotyeah, we could have holes about it just locally around yotyeah, we could have a les about it just locally around yotyeah, we could have a lot of in. Yeah, we could have a lot of gentlemen getting out there and doing some work on the roads and women and sorry. And women. And women. Oh and women. Oh yes. For Goodness Sake and women. And then, of course, im involved with hospitals a little bit. We need many, many more people in the hospitals as well. Surely all this can be encouraged, even if it does mean a little bit of a rise in their wages. There you go, nina. I can see you laying a bit of tarmac. Ive got to say, i can imagine you at the helm of a concrete mixer. Well, if rod stewart can, can, can fill in the potholes outside place, then anybody can. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah, most definitely. What do you think market gb news. Com to your email news. Com or get to your email shortly. Brilliant stuff. Shortly. Brilliant stuff. I think youll agree my pundits are form tonight. But are on top form tonight. But next in story, after next up in the big story, after a humiliating double apology for telling londoner, basically telling a londoner, he basically looked jewish at looked to jewish at a pro palestine march, british policing has lost the plot. Ill get reaction from top royal author and best selling biographer tom bower, whose parents were jewish refugees. Thats. Next. Well, a big reaction to my big opinion. Has britain lost its work ethic . Our gps is justified work ethic . Our gps is justified in handing out so many sick notes. This from martin, who notes. This from martin, who says. Mark, good evening. Your guest. Benedict is right. With cost of living and rent on minimum wage and single, you cannot survive without benefits. People should keep more of their income, especially at the lower end, as what is the point of taxing and then giving benefits . Martin, youre right. In work martin, youre so right. In work poverty is most definitely a national scandal. Well keep those emails coming. Mark gbnews. Com and now listen folks, weve got lots to get through. A very, very busy hour to come. Its time for the big story. And the met police have apologised twice after an officer an anti semitism officer said an anti semitism Charity Leader looked openly jewish as he was threatened with arrest for being near a pro palestine march. Gideon falter, who is the chief executive of the campaign against anti semitism, was wearing a kippah skull cap when he was stopped in Central London. He was told by police his presence was causing a breach of the peace in a video posted online. Here is the offending clip. You are quite openly jewish. This is a pro police march, right . Im not accusing you of anything, but im worried about the reaction to your presence. You choose to remain here because causing breach because you are causing a breach of. If i remain here, you were arrested because your presence was antagonising a large group. People that we cant deal with all of them. So this Police Officer has said that he looks openly jewish. What is openly jewish. And he wouldnt let him cross a Central London street in his own town. Now, let me tell you that town. Now, let me tell you that the police have apologised , but the police have apologised, but it didnt go well because their botched apology was withdrawn on the grounds that it was victim blaming. So a second statement from the met police said that being jewish is not a provocation, and the met apologised for any offence caused moments ago. Gideon falter called for the met Police Commissioner, sir mark rowley, to resign, take a listen. The time has come for sir mark rowley to go. He must resign as commissioner for the metropolis or he must be removed by the mayor of london and the home secretary, 69 of british jews now obscure or hide their jewish identity when in public. We need a new commissioner, a new commissioner who will enforce the law, who will stand up for law abiding londoners, who will take action against lawless mobs. And we need that lawless mobs. And we need that commissioner now. Commissioner now. Well, ill be tackling this scandal in my take at ten. You wont want to miss it. But right now lets speak to a very good friend of the show, journalist and best selling biographer, tom bower, a man whose own parents were jewish refugees. Tom, do you agree with gideon falter that sir mark rowley should resign . Resign . Well, i dont think it would help, and i dont think it would actually save the solve the problem. I mean, when, david kc said that the met was institutionally racist , she institutionally racist, she meant against the black people or against muslims. She didnt realise that there were institutionally racist against jews. And i think by now we can jews. And i think by now we can see, since the october 7th massacres in israel that the British Police and especially the met dont understand what in fact they are creating. That is fact they are creating. That is the terrible problem. And just removing rowley will make no difference at all. The real problem must be in the home office and its got to be with the mayor of london. We just do not know what orders the met chief has been given by these two bodies to behave in the way theyve done since october, when quite clearly, every week in london, the anti semites have had a field day , and the had a field day, and the anti semites every week are protected by the police to spew their hatred. And its the jews who are the victims, the targets who are the victims, the targets who are the victims, the targets who are always the ones being criticised. Its astonishing situation to be in 70, 80 years after the holocaust. Well, tom, some march in peace, some do not. Some support hamas, some do not. But by accommodating these controversial demonstrations, does britain risk succumbing to mob rule . And what might that look like . Well, you see, i think where you make your mistake , mark is you make your mistake, mark is saying that some people march in peace if you were against unemployment in germany before hitler came to power and marched with the nazis against unemployed garment, you would be dubbed a nazi supporter. These protests every week are organised by hamas supporters. If you join a hamas march, you are supporting hamas. And i are supporting hamas. And i dont believe for a moment that the people marching every week in london are allegedly for palestine or anything other than the supporters of the terrorist murdering organisation hamas. And i think we must get over this. You cant say that about all of the people on these marches. Surely by now you can, because, you know, every week , because, you know, every week, every week it gets worse and worse. Every week becomes more and more anti semitic, more and more about the destruction of israel. This is what its all about. If you chant from the river to the sea, its no different than shouting heil hitler you want to kill all the jews in israel . 8 million. We pushed into the sea. That is what iran wants. Thats what hamas blatantly wants. They openly say it. So anyone who joins the marches now knows very well it is an anti semitic march. And the horror is that the London Police are protecting these marchers, and theyve been told again and again and again that they are protecting racists and supporters of murder. However, tom, what would you say to those who are critical of israels actions in gaza . Over israels actions in gaza . Over 30,000 reported deaths, including women and children . Well, you know what is remarkable about that figure is its hamas figure. Have you seen a Burial Ground in gaza for 30,000 people . Have you seen one funeral in gaza, let alone for 30,000, and is an extraordinary how israel has perfected a bomb that only kills women and children. Not a Single Member of children. Not a Single Member of the hamas, not a single man is ever shown dead. And even now, in the bbc and sky tv have their reporters reporting allegedly from gaza, theyre all using hamas propaganda. All they use hamas propaganda. All they use is hamas cultivated footage to show a screaming woman and an injured child. But never a hamas fighter. The hamas people who murder and torture and rape israelis and want to destroy israelis and want to destroy israel. So i israelis and want to destroy israel. So i think you really got to stop this 30,000 figure. And worst of all is, as i saw a tory mp the other day say on tv, 30,000 innocents. Well, theyre not 30,000 innocents. Amongst the people are at least 10,000 hamas fighters. And they deliberately use women and children as shields. They deliberately put themselves amongst civilians so that they can be protected. Now, one thing which is never shown on bbc or sky is a palestinian in gaza. Being asked, do you support hamas . Are you pleased with what hamas . Are you pleased with what hamas has now done to your territory and your homes and your schools and everything . And thatis your schools and everything . And that is where this whole thing is so unbalanced, and thats where the police , in my view. Where the police, in my view. The second problem is these Police Officers are fed an unrestricted, appalling diet of anti semitism, anti zionism on the news waves. And no wonder the news waves. And no wonder they think that jews are to blame for everything and not hamas that started all this or let alone iran. That is let alone iran. That is financing and arming hamas every day. This war continues. Well, its clear that hamas want civilians to die. I think that that death toll is on their watch. As you said, theyve weaponized women and children as human shields, and theyve built their headquarters in the basement of hospitals. I dont disagree with you. Theyve also stored weapons in hospitals as well. But tom, why have the political left been so keen to demonise israel and condemn their action in gaza . In the aftermath of october the 7th . Why are the left or some on the left taking this position . Left taking this position . Well, it all starts with Jeremy Corbyn. In 2001, i wrote his biography, of course, and at that time the far left , in an that time the far left, in an attempt to unseat the moderate left in the labour party and target capitalism aligned themselves with the palestinian struggle is a complicated reasoning, which i wont go into here, but they do it because theyre against capitalism and theyve seized on the palestinians as their vehicle to undermine the west, to undermine our society and its very easy because its a 2003 thousand year habit of being anti semitic. And so it was easy for them. And its proven to be, unfortunately, very successful for them that their alliance with the palestinians and of course, with iran and the extreme Islamic Movement has actually resulted in the destabilisation of the west , and destabilisation of the west, and in that theyve been very successful. Theyre out for world domination. They want to remove capitalism of the liberal society and the palestinians , society and the palestinians, through the muslim brotherhood, and all their affiliates share that view. They want to create the caliphate state. Indeed. So i understand that sir mark rowley, the met police chief, has responded to what has happenedin chief, has responded to what has happened in the last 24 hours. And of course, it has been a hugely controversial story. He hugely controversial story. He has said every member of the met is determined to ensure that london is a city in which everyone feels safe. We everyone feels safe. We absolutely understand how vulnerable jewish and muslim londoners feel since the terrorist attacks on israel. Some of our actions have increased this concern. Our officers will continue Police Officers will continue to police with courage, empathy and impartiality. Allow you, impartiality. Well allow you, my viewers and listeners at home to make a judgement on whether that has happened, tom, i cant let you go without asking you about something very, very exciting. It is your forthcoming new book about the beckhams , new book about the beckhams, very excited about this. Its coming out in june. I understand , and it is, called beckham money, sex and power or house of beckham , i should say. Why have beckham, i should say. Why have you chosen the beckhams as the subject of your next book . Well, theyre absolutely fascinating. And what was fabulous about writing this book was how what an was my surprise. How what an interesting story it is. They are, after all, the second most popular couple in britain after the cambridges or prince and princess of wales and their story of sex and celebrity football and showbiz and their manipulation of the media and their continuous parade of their love for each other. While we all know that a lot is going on, behind the scenes was an absolute recipe for great investigative journalism, and i think its a compelling story, id urge all your viewers to bookin id urge all your viewers to book in advance and get a copy in advance, because it is surprising his football career, her singing career , their media her singing career, their media career, their so called family career. It is an astonishing story about britain today. What do they represent and how do they influence us and thats always been my criteria for writing. Book. Mark is to go for people who try to influence our lives and my goodness, the beckhams certainly have and successfully have influenced our lives. And thats why its a compelling story. And thats why compelling story. And thats why ive had a great year writing it i the 5mm the mirror report that youll be discussing their sex life in the book, but theyre a happily married couple in a committed union. They cant be much to say on that front. Can their . On that front. Can their . Absolutely. Mark yours. Abso absolutely right. And rebecca absolutely right. And Rebecca Lewis agrees with you and Sarah Marbeck agrees with you and all the other women who sold their stories to the news of the world and the sunday mirror and the sun, all the rest of it. I mean, hes a fabulous story because of their absolute ability to call black white and pretend the black white and to pretend the truth is something else. And it is their brazen courage, to actually not admit the truth or present an alternative truth that makes it such an enjoyable romp. Ive only got i only got a couple of seconds left, tom. But tell me very briefly, has it been hard to write the book . Have have you felt your have you had your collar, felt by the beckhams lawyers . Are they protective brand . Protective of their brand . Absolutely. Even even yesterday they were sending demands , letters and being very, demands, letters and being very, very aggressive. But you know, mark, im used to that. And the louder they shout, the more we ignore them. Glad to hear it. Let me tell you that house of beckham money, sex power out in june. Sex and power is out in june. And tom, i look forward to heanng and tom, i look forward to hearing about it in far more detail when it hits the bookshelves. Thanks, tom. Have a good weekend. Okay folks, lots good weekend. Okay folks, lots more to get through. Ill be reflecting on Victoria Beckham at 50 in my take at ten. Is she at 50 in my take at ten. Is she a British National treasure . Find out at ten. But lots more to come. And im very excited to say that well be asking a simple question, which is are brits abroad a National Disgrace . Well next. More than 50,000 people have taken to the streets of tenerife in the Canary Islands in protest against tourism on the island. Against tourism on the island. Brandishing. You enjoy and we suffer placards as locals fight poverty and housing shortages. Poverty and housing shortages. The campaign has claimed that the huge influx of british tourists to the island is causing major environmental damage , driving down wages and damage, driving down wages and squeezing locals out of affordable housing, forcing dozens to live in tents and in their cars. The Spanish Government is on the verge of taking serious action after local outrage that only 2. 4 of housing in spain is public, a figure dwarfed by the european average of 9. Meanwhile, many locals have complained about antisocial behaviour from british holidaymakers , british holidaymakers, particularly once they sampled the local beer and wine. One particular piece of graffiti simply reads you brits go home. So whether its tenerife, cornwall or the balearics, has tourism become a public menace and our brits abroad are National Embarrassment . Who better to ask than the very well travelled political double act of neil and Christine Hamilton . Of neil and Christine Hamilton . Neil and christine, lovely to see you. Your reaction to this story . Story . To you . To you . Well, i mean, i think its a load of rubbish, frankly. Load of rubbish, frankly. You know, the Canary Islands people should be grateful for all the brits going there. After all, its 35 of the local economy by value and 40 of the jobs are dependent on tourism. Obviously there are tourists from other countries apart from britain, but were a very, very significant part of that local economy. Yes , they might economy. So, yes, they might find that their housing costs would be lower if demand wasnt so great from foreigners who want holiday homes, but then there wouldnt be the jobs to employ them , and they wouldnt employ them, and they wouldnt be able to afford to buy houses because they wouldnt have any income. Its a difficult income. So its a difficult circle square. Circle to square. It is. I mean, christine, what do you think about this . What do you think about this . Well, it isnt just unique to the balearic islands, it . I the balearic islands, is it . I mean, it happens in this country as it happens beauty as well. It happens in beauty and tourist happens in and Tourist Spots. It happens in wales. Happens in cornwall, wales. It happens in cornwall, where the locals, who rely heavily for a lot of heavily on tourism for a lot of their. Also, downside their jobs. Also, the downside is themselves priced is they find themselves priced out of homes. Another problem is the rise of airbnb because it is much in a lot of cases, it is much in a lot of cases, it is much more productive for a landlord or a Property Owner to airbnb his property than it is to rent it out on a long lent, long rent, maybe to a local. So its the two pronged attack, and anyone who lives in a tourist or anyone who lives in a tourist or a hotspot, a beauty spot, knows perfectly well that when the tourists arrive, it is a double edged sword. You want their money. Without them, the whole place would probably die. But you dont want the bad behaviour that they and weve seen that they bring. And weve seen this years and years, this over years and years, havent of lager louts havent we . Of the lager louts in places, i think its ferraracci was one of the worst spots. But i think thats, thats not in spain, is it . Where faliraki . Where is faliraki . Foreign somewhere. Some, its foreign somewhere. Some, its foreign somewhere. Foreign somewhere. And its foreign somewhere. And that was one of hot spots that was one of the hot spots where the went because it where the young went because it was cheap, so was never was so cheap, so i was never allowed go there. But there allowed to go there. But there is an onus on british people to behave frankly. Yeah, there really is. And too many brits do behave disgracefully when theyre abroad. So i think thats a calumny really on our of course, there are going to be people, a few people who misbehave abroad just as they misbehave at home, but overwhelmingly british tourists go abroad to have a good time and not to make nuisances of themselves. I dont really know why abroad , as why people want to go abroad, as you from my brilliant you can see from my brilliant suntan from wiltshire suntan today from the wiltshire riviera, this is where you need to time of year. Thats amazing. I thought that was the chardonnay. Neil, you surprised me. Christine . Yes. Go on. What me. Christine . Yes. Go on. What were to say . Christine were you going to say . Christine well, i was just saying. I think one of the problems is that we dont a lot of is that we dont get a lot of sunshine in this country. So the contrast between home contrast between life at home and when they go abroad to contrast between life at home a|sunny when they go abroad to contrast between life at home a|sunny climate ey go abroad to contrast between life at home a|sunny climate forgo abroad to contrast between life at home a|sunny climate for brits, � oad to contrast between life at home a|sunny climate for brits, ltid to a sunny climate for brits, it kind of goes their head, kind of goes to their head, i think rather more than if it was a tourist from a sunny country going to a country. Going to a sunny country. Theyre used to all theyre kind of used to all that, not. I that, whereas were not. And i think it can be very heady and possibly cause a bit of bad behaviour possibly cause a bit of bad behavicgoing bring my pundits im going to bring my pundits in second. Briefly, in in one second. But briefly, christine , let me ask you, how christine, let me ask you, how do when you see fellow do you feel when you see fellow brits when youre on holiday . Are proud are you are you proud or are you horrified . Horrified . I try and avoid brits when i go on holiday. The last thing in the world i want to discover is hear somebody speaking english. When abroad, to be when im abroad, i like to be abroad. Abroad and get away from the brits. So it depends how theyre i mean, of theyre behaving. I mean, of course im covered with embarrassment if theyre behaving , of course i am. Behaving badly, of course i am. Anybody theyre anybody would be. Theyre letting down. Letting their country down. Theyre everybody theyre letting everybody else down. Theyre letting their fellow down, and they fellow countrymen down, and they should know better. Theyll probably grow up okay, well, listen, im afraid its too, right. I agree with you. There lets bnng i agree with you. There lets bring my pundits in if we can. Weve got diana moran. We have nina and Benedict Spence, nina myskow and Benedict Spence, diana , are brits abroad diana, are brits abroad a National Embarrassment . National embarrassment . They certainly can be. But youve got to remember that 40 of the money and everything thats going on in tenerife comes from the tourism trade. Yes i agree, maybe its to do with the weather as youve just said, they get over there, they get a bit thirsty and then the trouble starts. But for all that , exactly as neil said, people are often looking for holiday homes. It happens here in the uk , in places like salkum and all those sort of places as well, and that can upset local people. Of course it can, because they cannot. Then afford those properties. Okay. Yeah. Nina briefly, if you can, is it selfish going to these Tourist Spots when the locals suffer . No, its not selfish, but it is selfish going there and behaving like weve just seen on on the on that video. And, and we all know and its so embarrassing. I mean, i read a fact today that the ceo of , of fact today that the ceo of, of sunexpress, which is a german turkish that a turkish airliner, said that a plane load of brits had drunk the plane dry in under half an houn the plane dry in under half an hour, and it was a four hour flight and i myself have worked as a holiday rep for a for a Reality Tv Show in ayanappa in cyprus and my god, i mean, its mind boggling. Okay. Whats mind boggling. Okay. Whats wrong with us . Okay. Benedict, briefly , if you benedict, briefly, if you can, have you ever put on a pair of fake breasts after too many san miguels . You know i have. We both did it at the same time. You were not wearing them tonight, are you . Absolutely no. I absolutely not. No. Look, i mean, the britain a bit of a mean, the britain has a bit of a reputation. We built an empire on our people going abroad and misbehaving. I that misbehaving. But i think that this know, were this is, you know, were slightly away from what slightly getting away from what the here. Obviously, the issue is here. Obviously, brits abroad brits misbehaving abroad is part of this about of it, but this is about resources. This is about, relatively underdeveloped parts of particularly the mediterranean, which have mediterranean, which dont have a infrastructure. They a lot of infrastructure. They dont have a lot of houses. Why . Because arent jobs. Because there arent many jobs. There of the young there are a lot of the young people have actually moved away from anyway. Okay. People have actually moved away from having anyway. Okay. People have actually moved away from having influxes okay. People have actually moved away from having influxes of ay. And having large influxes of people, they dont have the infrastructure people, they dont have the infrastactually the thats actually the holidaymakers fault. Christine, pretend neil and christine, pretend youre ayanappa. Go get youre in. Ayanappa. Go and get yourself lovely and yourself a lovely sangria and well soon. Wish we well catch up soon. I wish we had for had longer. Thank you for joining looking joining us, next up, im looking forward this. After a pub in forward to this. After a pub in hull becomes a 24 hour gambling venue. Does written brisk becoming a of betting becoming a country of betting addicts . Ill be asking my mark meets football legend meets guest football legend Peter Shiltons wife steffi, who has peter in his own 45 has helped peter in his own 45 year battle against gambling. An year battle against gambling. An incredible story. Thats next. Its next. Wsfime next. Its time now for mark meets and peter shilton, the england goalkeeper who earned 125 caps for three the lions and won two european cups with nottingham forest, is a true sporting legend. But his wife, steffi shilton , is gaining her own shilton, is gaining her own legendary status with a campaign to help the millions of people who struggle with gambling addiction. In spite of peters sporting accolades and the healthy rewards from the job that he loved , he has battled that he loved, he has battled gambling problems for 45 years, while steffi shilton has helped her husband and wants to help other victims out there for an illness that can see you lose your car, your jewellery and even your home virtually overnight, steffi shilton, welcome to mark dolan tonight. Well get to your Brilliant Campaign in a moment, but can you give me a sense of how bad things got for you and peter , things got for you and peter, good evening mark. Thank you so much for inviting me on here. Its lovely to meet you, yes. As you know, peter, was a chronic gambling addict for 45 years, which is, you know, his entire adult life. And. And he gave up eight years ago, he celebrated his ninth anniversary. Amazing, a couple of weeks ago. And so, yeah. Of weeks ago. And so, yeah. Amazing story. I met peter over 12 years ago now , and, it took 12 years ago now, and, it took me, i think, about three and a half years to get him to the point to quit, so, yeah, i climbed that mountain. Apart from his finances improving. Improving. Steffi, how has peter changed as a person since he got free from gambling . Oh, totally. Yeah, oh, totally. Yeah, absolutely. I just i love seeing absolutely. Ijust i love seeing in his face that peace of mind. In his face that peace of mind. And thats worth its weight in gold. You know , when, when i, as gold. You know, when, when i, as i say, when i look at him and that peace of mind and all that strain that and i could see that strain, and that poor mental well being when i, when i met him, to be fair , and i just him, to be fair, and i just felt, god, this guy really, really does deserve, everything to make him better. And so, yeah, hes totally different. Yeah, hes totally different. Youve massively helped. Congratulations to peter for eight, nine years free of gambling. And congratulations for the work youve done to help peter achieve that, where does gambling addiction come from, do you think. Do some of us have it and others not . Oh, thats thats debateable , oh, thats thats debateable, sometimes it can be genetic and sometimes it can be genetic and sometimes its learned behaviour. So if youve got, you know, a parent around that gambles, you know , you can get gambles, you know, you can get sort of sucked in, and sometimes it comes from a big win. So the rush from a big win, i liken it sometimes to a heroin hit. I think the win can be such a rush , that they get addicted to the high of it because often its the money that fuels it. Mark. So theyre addicted to the money, not the gambling. And thats what i spend a lot of time with loved ones educating them around that. So the buzz starts when the moneys there. Yeah. If i, if ive got viewers or listeners who are struggling with gambling or they know someone who is, what is the best first step . How can they get themselves of that hole . Get themselves out of that hole . Its very difficult, mark, because , like peter was in because, like peter was in denial, so he thought he had a gambling problem, and, but he, you know, he thought all the time , well, im going to win time, well, im going to win soon, so ill win it all back. Ill win it all back. So theres a huge amount of denial, and there is a stigma around it also. So what i would advise anyone to do is just tell someone and reach out, you know , someone and reach out, you know, reach out. Theres so much help out there now. Now to what . Out there now. Now to what . There was. Even when peter gave up , you know. So i worked for up, you know. So i worked for gordon moody , which a part of, gordon moody, which a part of, that work with the gambling commissioners as well. And youve got gamcare youve got an awful lot of support. You can just pick the phone up. You can email. Yeah. Theres so people could go to do you say gordon moody . Yes. So i, i do you say gordon moody . Yes. So i, i work there im the developer and the lead and a therapist for them. And i look after the families of the loved ones because were just as much the victim of gambling harm as what the addict is , and i belong what the addict is, and i belong to afinet, which is a global, a global membership where universities and studies around the world are filter into it. The world are filter into it. And, and were finding that for affected others, were our harm continues long after the gamblers recovered. Well, its a devastating a devastating illness. Congratulations to everything that youre trying to do to raise awareness of this. Im raise awareness of this. Im also going to say that you could speak to frank at 300123, double six, double zero. Go and see your gp, Citizens Advice Bureau and the good old internet as well, steffi shilton will do longer next time. Thank you so much for joining longer next time. Thank you so much forjoining us.

Democrats and republicans joined together after months of deadlock over renewed american support to help ukraine fend off russias invasion. Meanwhile, moscow says the passage of the bill would further ruin ukraine and result in more deaths. In other news, the campaign against anti semitism is calling for the met police chief to resign or be sacked over the forces handling of pro palestinian demonstrations after an officer used the firm, openly jewish, to describe an anti semitism. Describe an anti semitism. Activist, gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a pro palestinian march by the officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. The force has since apologised twice. The policing minister will meet the met Police Commissioner in the next week to discuss concerns about the officers comments. Today pro israel demonstrators held a peaceful counter protest in Central London called enough is enough. The Central London called enough is enough. The group says hatred has no place on the streets of the capital. I cant walk through Central London with a yarmulke on your head. No signs of any israeli flag or support for israel or any views on on what may be going on in the middle east. But if not allowed to walk if youre not allowed to walk across street in central across the street in Central London because you are openly jewish, time for the jewish, then its time for the government to act. Just sad that its that its just sad that its that this has come to this, that its now regarded as not completely safe for jewish people to walk in the streets of their own own own city. And not only is it distressing and vile, as their views are the distressing thing, its also becoming becoming normalised. Normalised. Meanwhile, pro Palestinian Protesters have been marching in sheffield demanding a ceasefire in gaza. Theyre accusing israel in gaza. Theyre accusing israel of using famine as a weapon of war, and criticised the government for continuing to arm the country. The palestine the country.

You wont want to miss it. Plus, tomorrows newspaper front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonights top pundits. This tonights top pundits. This evening, political commentator Benedict Spence brought caster and author nina myskow and model and author nina myskow and model and tv personality diana moran. And tv personality diana moran. So a packed hour. Those papers are coming. But first, my take at ten. Victoria beckham at 50. My verdict in just a moment. But first, since the horrific october the 7th attacks on israel , the message from british israel, the message from British Police has been clear dont be jewish. The so called peace marches, in which horrific anti semitic slogans have been chanted and waved within impunity for months , including a impunity for months, including a projection of from the river to the sea on big ben, have led to a huge rise in anti semitism ism, with jewish kids covering up any religious clothing when travelling to school. Now taking sides on the conflict in the middle east is a mugs game , and middle east is a mugs game, and clearly the situation is complex, with wrongdoing on both sides. But these marches, which have made jews feel unwelcome and threatened in their own country, began after an attack on jewish people and on israel, not the other way round. Many on those marches march in peace. They want an end to the killing. Who doesnt have israel gone too far in their desire to wipe out hamas . Who knows . But british Police Officers are unwittingly taking sides by bowing to the mob extremists who, at least passively and in some cases very actively, are beating the drum. For hamas at worst their supporters, and at best they are the useful idiots of this hateful death cult which is why it was so disturbing to watch this sequence in which a British Policeman threatens to arrest a man seeking to cross the road because he effectively looks too jewish. Take a listen. You are quite openly jewish. This is a pro palestinian march. Im not accusing you of anything , march. Im not accusing you of anything, but im worried about the reaction to your presence. You choose to remain here because you are causing a breach of of the. Of some of the. If i remain here, you will arrest because your presence is antagonising a large group of people that we cant deal with. All of that. All of that. Wow. This follows a bizarre incident some weeks ago in which another hapless cop debated with another hapless cop debated with a jewish woman about whether the swastika was an image of hate. Swastika was an image of hate. Not for the first time, the police have placated and appeased illiberal thugs, bowing to aggression and indulging in misguided Political Correctness with a partisan approach to these marches and allowing a scenario in which somebody who is visibly jewish is characterised as a troublemaker. Throughout history, jewish people have always been the canary in the coal mine of any society. If jewish people arent safe in britain, were not a proper country anymore. The extremist mob , too many of whom extremist mob, too many of whom are infused with an anti western ideology that hates everything about this country, wont stop at jews. They will ultimately be at jews. They will ultimately be at odds with anyone that believes in british values. Believes in british values. Dont forget sir keir starmer reportedly begging the speaker of the house to cancel a vote on an israeli ceasefire for fear of the safety of his own mps if they voted against. Welcome to they voted against. Welcome to the mob, who were shaping democratic outcomes via the threat of violence. Now i love our Police Officers. They do a hard job and are underpaid and underappreciated , and we have underappreciated, and we have got great coppers. But the current culture of policing in britain is all wrong. So caught up in woke ideology , they turn up in woke ideology, they turn up in woke ideology, they turn up at peoples houses to investigate an unkind facebook message or a tweet. They drive around in extensively painted rainbow cars. They remove lesbians from a pride march for the heinous crime of believing there are two sexes. They dance with eco protest letters and ask people who have glued themselves to the motorway if theyre all right, and if theyd like a sandwich or a drink, and they always take the knee to the latest woke cause even if its misguided, divisive and wrong. Misguided, divisive and wrong. Meanwhile, they banged up anyone that dared to demonstrate against those ruinous and in my view, utterly failed lockdowns. Dozy cops sat there at a bizarre Kangaroo Court in wakefield as an autistic child was harangued by raging clerics for accidentally scuffing a copy of the quran. And where was the Police Protection for a Batley School teacher, who is still on the run for showing pupils an image of the Prophet Muhammad in class , its time for officers to class, its time for officers to police the rule of law to and police the rule of law to and Police British values because on their watch, free speech is no longer safe. Jews are no longer safe. Our democracy is no longer safe. Our democracy is no longer safe. The streets of britain are safe. The streets of britain are no longer safe. As it stands, british policing isnt much cop. Now, a quick word before we crack on. If you dont mind, im going to talk about Victoria Beckham, who turned 50 this week. I am a great admirer with no great musical gifts. I mean, no great musical gifts. I mean, her singing should be limited to the shower. She was part of the biggest girl band in history, the spice girls. This smart the spice girls. This smart operator has since become a huge name in the world of fashion good humoured, glamorous , and good humoured, glamorous, and clearly a devoted mum, she is a mightily impressive person who deserves a bit more credit for her achievements. But i do think Hubby David Beckham is wasting his time and money in reportedly flying his famously skinny wife to the south of france for a £200 a head dinner at her favourite restaurant. Thats a lot of money to spend on two cream crackers and half an apple. Shell barely finish the starter anyway. Happy birthday Victoria Beckham , an underrated Victoria Beckham, an underrated British National treasure. The British National treasure. The lots of wannabes out there, but you are the real deal, even if you are the real deal, even if you basically live on celery. You basically live on celery. Your reaction to the met polices botched double apology for outrageous anti semitism, saying that somebody is openly jewish, is that the latest crime that theyre going to be policing . Let me know your thoughts. Market gb news. Com plus is Victoria Beckham a National Treasure . As she turns 50 . Lets hear from tonights top pundits political commentator Benedict Spence. Broadcaster and author nina myskow , and model and tv myskow, and model and tv personality diana moran. Now personality diana moran. Now nina myskow. Have you met Victoria Beckham . No , sadly i havent. Ive no, sadly i havent. Ive beenin no, sadly i havent. Ive been in her, her her salon. You know, her little boutique off piccadilly. And i was so piccadilly. And i was so terrified that i, in case i touched something and damaged it because theyre all such extortion at prices and so sort of flimsy, and you have to admire a woman who is sort of final and parlayed this amazing career and out of what doesnt seem to be in a great deal of bafic seem to be in a great deal of basic talent, what do you think, Benedict Spence is Victoria Beckham a British National treasure, i think we should reserve the title of National Treasure until you have at least retired. I think you should get your bus pass before we consider your bus pass before we consider you a treasure. Because the treasure something that is, treasure is something that is, rather know, it rather passive, you know, it sort of sits there and we can sort of sits there and we can sort of sits there and we can sort of regard it from a long way. Whereas i think, Victoria Beckham would suggest that shes still lot to do. Shes beckham would suggest that shes still got lot to do. Shes beckham would suggest that shes still got a lot to do. Shes beckham would suggest that shes still got a lot of do. Shes beckham would suggest that shes still got a lot of living. Es beckham would suggest that shes still got a lot of living. Ive still got a lot of living. Ive still got a lot of living. Ive still got lot of business to still got a lot of business to do. I saw that she released a new collection with new watch collection with breitling, week. Breitling, the other week. Theres still lot more to theres still a lot more to come. I think treasure come. So i think the Treasure Chest things put chest is still having things put into i dont think shes chest is still having things put into yet. Iont think shes done yet. Well, donna moran, im going to you. Think that to shock you. I think that victoria should a Victoria Beckham should be a dame. And that david dame. And i think that david should a sir. Whats your should be a sir. Whats your view , yes. Should be a sir. Whats your view , yes. Not sure should be a sir. Whats your view , yes. Not sure how to view, yes. Not sure how to answer that one. I dont think shes actually a National Treasure yet. And much as i love David Beckham and i admire all his football skills, i admire both of their skills in living and having a family and doing beautifully , i cant bear his beautifully, i cant bear his tattoos, and thats what puts me off. They have a great talent for making money. They have business. Yes, and i, you know, the thing is that she is so i mean, the restaurant, i think they were that he flew them to was the colander in Saint Paul De Vence , which is in Saint Paul De Vence, which is in the hills behind nice. And £200 would barely buy you a stick of celery, let me tell you. But the thing is, she has had for a couple of months now, one of those medical boots. I think its on her left foot. She broke her ankle, apparently falling overin her ankle, apparently falling over in the gym. Well, i wonder that keeping herself so, so slender skinny, whether slender and so skinny, whether her bones actually have suffered and shes not as robust as she should be, perhaps. Nina, do you think she deserves a damehood . Because i deserves a damehood . Because i think shes a global ambassador. Shes money for the shes made money for the country, she pays her taxes. Shes an international celebrity. She was the biggest part of the biggest girl band in the world. I think she deserves a no, id give one. A gong. No, id give her one. I dont. Well, mark, lets lets debate that little lets just debate that little point , no, i lets just debate that little point, no, i dont so yet. Point, no, i dont think so yet. And for David Beckham , hes and as for David Beckham, hes hes been busting a gut to be knighted for years and years and years. And people actually said that when he queued up to, to, to view the queen lying in state. That was some way of making himself seem, you know, one of the people and humble and really, he deserves it.

Clive says mark, shes a second rate singer who opened her legs to anyone who wants it. And no damehood clive.

Look, ill keep looking at your emails. Lots more to get through , including the papers at 1030. But its time now for us news and Kinsey Schofield is away this week, so im delighted to welcome fearless political commentator and woman commentator and the woman known as americas psychiatrist, doctor carole lieberman. Carole, doctor carole lieberman. Carole, donald trump is in court. Could this case keep him out of the white house in november . White house in november . Donald trump is facing a lions den. Not only have there been jurors , you know, who have been jurors, you know, who have said all kinds of horrible things about him as they were being tested, whether they were going to become jurors or not, but but, but, you know, the charges , they are felony. Excuse charges, they are felony. Excuse me, they are felony charges. So me, they are felony charges. So conceivably, if he was found guilty, he could, be put in jail. Now, there are people who say that even if he is in jail, that they would vote for him. Im not sure quite of the election logistics in terms of that. But, you know, hes been going through so many of these Kangaroo Courts , trump trumped Kangaroo Courts, trump trumped up charges and then people in the jury, people in the, the judge, the prosecutors, i mean, they are clearly anti trump to begin with. And yet theyre supposed to be deciding these things fairly. Plus you know, a lot of jurors, would say things that who dont like trump but they could possibly say things. Oh yes id be fair. And im i dont have a problem with trump just to get on the jury to to, condemn him. Well, i think thats the concern , isnt it . Do you think concern, isnt it . Do you think donald trump has the sort of moral character, the mental strength to get through this . You are americas psychiatrist. How do you rate Donald Trumps resolution at this stage . Resolution at this stage . Well, hes hes been taking taking a beating, you know, hes hes i think ive said on the show before about how, hes strong because he loves america and he wants to be there to save america. And i still say that thats true. But he is looking a little worse for wear. I mean, its just one thing after another. And he goes from the courtroom to the campaign trial. I mean, its so, its really beyond what a human one human being can do. Yeah. That is, of course , a yeah. That is, of course, a real challenge, isnt it . I mean, how do you see this case playing out . Do you think hes going to lose . Going to lose . I hope not, i, i mean, i hope that theyre going to find enough things wrong with how this trial is being conducted. I mean, for example, you know, they they already , trying they they tried already, trying to get an appeal because of the way that the jury selection was being done , you know, that they being done, you know, that they were rushing through it and that is that is an appealable issue. I dont know if its going to go anywhere. But i mean, you know, as an as a forensic psychiatrist , an Expert Witness and jury consultant, ive been involved in these kinds of jury selection cases and you have to really, dig deep to know what this person really feels. You know, you cant just take a five minute, interrogation in front of the court as , as, explaining of the court as, as, explaining all of it. In fact, they found people who said that they were fine, or they could be objective. And then they found posts, social media posts that they put up that were very damning of trump. So, you know, i dont think i think there are going to be problems like that, meanwhile, is joe biden throwing israel under the bus . It seems that , the white house are that, the white house are cooling in their support for Benjamin Netanyahus stated aim of eliminating hamas, who, of course, were responsible for the october 7 attack, which was the single biggest attack on jewish people since the holocaust. People since the holocaust. Yes, you know, really they have been against israel from the very beginning. Obama, i think, you know, who ive talked about, that he is pulling the strings of biden. You know, strings of biden. You know, nowadays its much more accepted. You know, when i said this on your show, like a while ago, it was this big shock. Biden i mean, obama is controlling bidens strings. But now in america, people, more and more people, recognise that. But in any case, obama is really, you know, he was trained in madrassas. He what do they teach in madrassas . They teach terrorism. They teach to hate israel, to destroy israel, to destroy jews. And its showing, destroy jews. And its showing, you know, his anti israel anti jew bias is showing, and its been affecting joe biden now at the beginning, you know, after october 7th, they both were kind of trying to be very cagey and, play both sides. But cagey and, play both sides. But then as things have progressed, you know , after iran bombed you know, after iran bombed israel and all that, its theyre, its theyre not able to stay in the middle as much. And so, its very worrisome. Israel and is in a lot of trouble because they cant count on america , meanwhile, the on america, meanwhile, the Kennedy Family are a political dynasty, but theyre not endorsing their own man at the next election. Tell me more. Next election. Tell me more. Yes, whatever happened to family loyalty . Right, i think jfk would be turning over in his grave, to see that his relatives were putting their their vote behind, their endorsement behind joe biden. You know . Yes, of course, democrats, you know, all the way. And so on. But, if kennedy were alive , i mean, if kennedy were alive, i mean, if jfk were alive, he would he would not pretend that joe biden doesnt have dementia and that he is fit to rule america to run the country, he wouldnt do that. You know, he was a very ethical man. And, and so for the family to do this, you know, i mean , theyre theyre trying mean, theyre theyre trying theres really an anti trump move that theyre doing, but its just i think its terrible. Its just i think its terrible. I think they should support their Family Member number one. And i think if anything, they should just abstain from saying anything it. But to really anything about it. But to really publicly endorse biden. Jfk, anything about it. But to really publicly endorse biden. Jfk, im publicly endorse biden. Jfk, im telling you, hes rolling over in his grave, most definitely. Carol, great to have you back on the show. Well catch up soon. My thanks to americas psychiatrist, doctor carol lieberman. Now, mark dolan tonight is home of diverse tonight is the home of diverse opinion. The emails come in opinion. The emails come in thick and fast. Clive rose email. There that, i would argue, was deeply offensive and profoundly to profoundly wrong. Id like to apologise offended by apologise to anyone offended by what say. Hes what clive had to say. Hes entitled to his view, but i think it was in poor taste. What he had to say. And i maintain he had to say. And i maintain that victoria should be that Victoria Beckham should be dame , what do you dame victoria, what do you think . Market gb news. Com coming tomorrows coming up next.

Those are your front pages for full pundit reaction. Im delighted to have political commentator Benedict Spence , boy commentator Benedict Spence, boy broadcaster and author nina myskow , and model and tv myskow, and model and tv personality diana moran. So many stories to get through , let me stories to get through, let me tell you. How about this one in the sunday express . Benedict spence migrant flights ready to take home office prepares take off. Home office prepares to draw up list of the first passengers for rwanda. Its happening. This is not a drill. Is it happening . Though . We is it happening . Though . We have. Weve been in this situation before where there were on the tarmac. Was were planes on the tarmac. Was it were planes on the tarmac. Was h happen . Were planes on the tarmac. Was it happen . Was it going it going to happen . Was it going to it didnt happen. It going to happen . Was it going to one it didnt happen. It going to happen . Was it going to one thoseint happen. It going to happen . Was it going to one those thingsipen. And its one of those things where believe when where i will believe it when i see it, not when it see it, not even when it approaches the runway, when it is up in the air and it is is off, up in the air and it is in rwanda, then i will believe that has happened. Am more that it has happened. I am more than believe that than prepared to believe that lists up lists are being drawn up of people, that theyre people, and that theyre trying to carriers will take to find carriers that will take people, im sure that there people, but im sure that there are twists to come. Weve are more twists to come. Weve had, lords had, the house of lords rejecting the bill on rwanda in its current form by voting in favour of various amendments for it. So had to go back to it. So its had to go back to the house of commons to be debated i dont think debated again. I dont think that is over yet. Even that this is over yet. And even if does happen, i dont if it does happen, i dont believe going the believe its going to be the Silver Bullet rishi sunak Silver Bullet that rishi sunak believes should be. So believes that it should be. So we wait and see. Im more than prepared to believe ill be. Ill be delighted. Its a gimmick. Gets one of his gimmick. If he gets one of his pledges, one. Planes off pledges, gets one. Planes off the rwanda. That the ground to rwanda. That wasnt one the nina. Wasnt even one of the nina. Think is you think rwanda is a gimmick . Its a totally expensive its ridiculous. Its i mean, its ridiculous. Its even if they get a plane off the ground, and the earliest they could get was supposing the could get off was supposing the bill week they bill passed next week and they had list up. Its had the list drawn up. Its going at least at least going to say, at least at least two because of possible two months because of possible legal arguments, but listen, theyve the rwandans have only got a certain limited amount of housing and theyre already beginning to flog it off. So even if they get a plane load there, thats, thats it. Then what happens to the thousands back . You know , in the queue . Back . You know, in the queue . Its worse than an easyjet queue, isnt it . Or its worse than an easyjet queue, isnt it . Or a ryanair queue. Well, i wonder whether rwanda being a gimmick is Wishful Thinking on the part of nina myskow diana moran, because i think if those flights take off, it will be significant for rishi sunak and i think hell narrow the lead against labour. I think i rather agree over here. I dont think they will take off. I know, i just dont think its if they can get flights off, will that move the dial politically for rishi sunak . I dont think so. Its too late. Its all too late, too late, too late. Okay, well, look, there you go. No enthusiasm for the go. No great enthusiasm for the rwanda from my top pundits rwanda plan from my top pundits tonight. What about this . And its interesting one, isnt its an interesting one, isnt it, nina myskow. Its about the woman that could be our next deputy Prime Minister, angela raynen deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner. House sale documents that could nail rayner. Do you think shes. She thinks shes going to get fired by keir starmer. No. They should just just stop it. Its ridiculous this you know in Todays Society we have many blended families where people live between two houses. You have your own house, then you meet, you have children, you meet somebody else, they have children or not. And you move between the two houses. And you think of the house that you own as your home. Thats your house. So if she put that down as where she as her official address, where she was, you know, for the for the voting for the electoral register that is in her head. Thats her home. And nobody can denyit thats her home. And nobody can deny it whether she spends seven nights a week with her husband or two nights a week with her husband, that is still her home. Benedict spence. Nothing to see here. Why are the mail on sunday still covering the story . Its not so much that i think that there is nothing to see here. Think nothing will come here. I think nothing will come of ultimately, dont of it ultimately, and i dont think that shes going to resign. Came out and resign. When she came out and said, ive broken electoral resign. When she came out and said,i ive broken electoral resign. When she came out and said,i wills broken electoral resign. When she came out and said,i will resign. 1 electoral resign. When she came out and said,i will resign. 1 said, ral law, i will resign. I said, right, well, right. Would right, well, right. That would be tremendously thing to be tremendously foolish thing to say. Certain be tremendously foolish thing to say. You certain be tremendously foolish thing to say. You broken certain be tremendously foolish thing to say. You broken the ain be tremendously foolish thing to say. You broken the law. That you had not broken the law. I think you said, is i actually think you said, is sir keir starmer going to fire her . Think he is. I her . I dont think he is. I think he is secretly happy think he is secretly very happy about i think you about this because i think you have to look at the situation that walking into. That labour is walking into. Its quite its going to win quite a big majority. Trajectory. Majority. On current trajectory. That that the that does not mean that the party is all going to be pulling in one direction, there in one direction, because there will sense that actually will be the sense that actually certain can bit certain factions can have a bit of fun because that of fun because there is that expense that they can play with. Angela is the obvious Angela Rayner is the obvious alternative leadership Angela Rayner is the obvious altythe tive leadership Angela Rayner is the obvious altythe left leadership Angela Rayner is the obvious altythe left of leadership Angela Rayner is the obvious altythe left of the leadership Angela Rayner is the obvious altythe left of the leade there on the left of the party. There is no love lost between those two. I think hes actually quite happy that though nothing happy that even though nothing is of this, shes is going to come of this, shes not to lose her shes not going to lose herjob. Shes not going to lose herjob. Shes not stand out not going to sort of stand out as nothing thats as an mp. Nothing like thats going happen. This does just going to happen. This does just take her peg two in take her down a peg or two in the running order, in the the the running order, in the in the order might be his order of who might be his biggest challenger in the next couple i that in couple of years. I think that in that sense, i think hes probably about it. Probably quite happy about it. Publish nina, why wont she publish the she was the legal advice that she was given says she did nothing given that says she did nothing wrong . Why her boss, wrong . And why wont her boss, sir starmer, a top lawyer, sir keir starmer, a top lawyer, look at that advice . Who whos to know . Why well, who whos to know . Why should they . Why should they give everything the reason give everything up . The reason that going on and on and that this is going on and on and on in the media is on and on in the media is because it is the only thing, the one thing that the tory party can, can think is to be a near scandal. What you know , and near scandal. What you know, and the tory party filled with sleaze, corruption on the hypocrisy of lord as it ashington going in his book for Angela Rayner, hes a man who is who has avoided paying 100 million in tax because of his non dom status. Non dom status. Lord ashcroft. Ashcroft im not im not familiar with his tax arrangements , and im hes tax arrangements, and im hes not here to defend himself. Im only quoting ian hislop on have i got news for you . Oh, the arbiter truth. Oh, the arbiter of truth. Oh, the arbiter of truth. Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Careful. Hes very careful. Hes very careful. Anybodys i dont think anybodys raising about raising any questions about whether ashcroft has whether or not Lord Ashcroft has broken law. He hasnt. No, broken the law. He hasnt. No, he has other that you he has other people that you could but he has. Could go to, but he has. Wont why hasnt sir keir why wont why hasnt sir keir starmer, a top lawyer, asked to see evidence . Because see this legal evidence . Because then he could say, look, ive read happy. Read it and im happy. Suspect then if hes well, i suspect then if hes giving renee legal giving angela renee legal advice, sort its advice, then its sort of its no sort a party no longer sort of a party matter. And wouldnt it then be more a professional matter . More of a professional matter . Yeah. E 9 doesnt she publish well, why doesnt she publish the she does . The legal advice she does . Obligation to it. to it. Surely it would. It but surely it would. It would, would surely would would, it would surely it would make go away. Make this go away. Might do. But equally, if it might do. But equally, if shes of what shes been shes certain of what shes been told, done nothing told, that she has done nothing wrong, she might feel that wrong, then she might feel that actually, to, actually, theres no need to, i do. I agree that this is sort do. I do agree that this is sort of gone on longer than it needed to. Been to. I think it could have been nipped had she nipped in the bud had she decided publish everything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. Publish everything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. Butblish everything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. But assh everything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. But as i| everything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. But as i say, rything at nipped in the bud had she dec start. But as i say, she ng at the start. But as i say, she doesnt feel she needs to. Doesnt feel that she needs to. Its iffy, that she its a bit iffy, given that she is labours biggest and is perhaps labours biggest and best when comes to best attack dog when it comes to attacking tories for sleaze and obfuscation. What obfuscation. But thats what shes do. Shes decided to do. Plenty of candidates to plenty of candidates there to choose plenty of candidates there to choise plenty of candidates there to choi think that unless there i think that unless there is more it more openness, i think it permanently diana moran. Does weaken the it does weaken her at the moment. I do agree, and were all to know the all interested to know the truth. Giving the truth. Its giving the newspapers nice talk newspapers a nice lot to talk about and all of us to scandalmonger about as well. Scandalmonger about as well. Yeah, wait and see. Well, lets, lets just say quickly that the tories are going for her, when in fact, she could have been a poster girl for tory values, for margaret thatchers values. She brought herself up by her bootstraps. Got was in a council house, bought a council you know bought a council house. You know her mother, you know she was pregnant at 16. Her mother was illiterate , but her mother was illiterate, but her mother was a drug addict. So to come from that background to where she is today, she should be a poster girl. Well, shes certainly an impressive figure , and this impressive figure, and this story is not going to go away. Meanwhile, diana moran in the observer labour shifts poll tax tactics to target fearful tory over 65. So the story in the observer keir starmer wants the older tories to vote. Labour will it happen now . Why are you looking at me when you ask that question . Because i want you to imagine what older people two, three, four decades older than are four decades older than you are thinking moment. Four decades older than you are thircome moment. Four decades older than you are thircome on, moment. Four decades older than you are thircome on, 84. Ioment. Come on, 84. Remember . Amazing yes. I can see why theyre doing this. Because many tories who are coming up to 65 are totally disillusioned with what the tories are doing, and were all open minded for suggestions. Yeah resolving the terrible state that the country is in at the moment. State that the country is in at the moment. So were all open to ideas. Did you have a sense of what the over 65 are really focused on . And most concerned about, do you think, or what are some of the key areas . Well, certainly the cost of living, the cost of food. Yeah, our houses certainly , our water, our houses certainly, our water, gas, the utilities like that as well. Yeah, very much so. Yeah. What do you think about this Charm Offensive on the over 65 from keir starmer . I mean i think its smart because the over 65 vote a lot more than younger people do. And even if lots of younger people, millennials or whatever is, millennials or whatever it is, are going are saying, oh were all going to and we hate the to vote labour and we hate the tories , actually, you cant tories, actually, you cant necessarily guarantee that all of will out in the of them will turn out in the numbers that you need. I still think that labour will win a large but he needs to large majority, but he needs to be of this. Actually, if be assured of this. Actually, if you guarantee stonking be assured of this. Actually, if you majority, arantee stonking be assured of this. Actually, if you majority, as ntee stonking be assured of this. Actually, if you majority, as boris stonking be assured of this. Actually, if you majority, as boris johnson|g be assured of this. Actually, if you referred , as boris johnson|g be assured of this. Actually, if you referred to,s boris johnson|g be assured of this. Actually, if you referred to, then s johnson|g be assured of this. Actually, if you referred to, then actuallyn|g once referred to, then actually you do need older voters as well. And he is a very cautious leader. Sir keir starmer, hes very he doesnt sort very you know, he doesnt sort of ahead of himself. Of get ahead of himself. He doesnt say things unnecessarily. Be unnecessarily. He will be looking fact the looking at the fact that the tories are giving us, giving themselves as opportunity, themselves as much opportunity, as , if you like, as much road, if you like, until the general election. The next general election. Theyre it yet theyre not calling for it yet because they are that because they are hoping that something, a will come down something, a bump will come down the that will the road and that that will spook people going, spook people into going, oh well, labour or well, cant cant vote labour or or going to motivate me or this is going to motivate me to vote tory. He has to be to vote tory. So he has to be she has to be sure about this. He sort of go after he has to sort of go after groups might groups that might not necessarily upon time necessarily be once upon a time at of their list. At the top of their list. Dont imagine, think that and dont imagine, think that the tories have retained the tories would have retained the tories would have retained the they they the triple lock. If they if they thought that they werent thought that, that they werent going to get votes from, from the over 65 because over 65 traditionally vote tory, which i dont but they they werent wanting to suck up to them and hang on to them. And why is it the over 65 vote tory or shift to the right. Is it because they just become wise and know more about the world . No, i think no, no. Its become come on become no. Become come on become no. Nobodys called me any wiser. Thank you very much. I wont have that. Im still wild and have that. Im still wild and untrammelled. You are. No i think its. I think its just its just tradition. And, you know, they lose their edge and lose their nerve. Not like us. Maybe they lose their marbles. They lose their marbles to want the marbles. Want to lose the marbles. Well, do sometimes. Groups. There you go. Well, listen, folks, lots more come from my folks, lots more to come from my top more newspaper top pundits, more newspaper front. Plus, has prince front pages. Plus, has prince harry the of no harry reached the point of no return in the uk . Has he given his own father king charles the middle finger . Ill be asking a leading royal commentator live from the us. Next. A debate is raging about whether donald trump would be a good second terms. President or not. I read an email just earlier from someone very critical of donald trump. But how about this donald trump. But how about this from peter, who says, dear mark, anyone still thinking that trump is the enemy is either a paid shill or a brainwashed clown, how about this, from h g duke peter wald, who says, dear mark, im not racist, but i got angry at tom bowers comments tonight about the met police and their double apology. Ive been to double apology. Ive been to gaza. Ive seen the atrocities towards the Palestinian People carried out by israel , the red carried out by israel, the red cross figures for the deaths in gaza match the hamas health organisation, which is a Government Department not run by hamas. Thank you for that , very hamas. Thank you for that, very much indeed. And how about this . Should Victoria Beckham have a damehood as she turns 50 . Alan says , mark, dont be silly. Why says, mark, dont be silly. Why should snooty posh spice be honoured just for being a singer and marrying a footballer . Far too many of these titles in abundance as it is hang on. If we live long enough, im sure well all get some sort of title. Well, im sure thats good. And by the way, this from dorothy finally who says, mark, please dont my name. Please dont mention my name. Well, whoops thats gone well, good. Whoops thats gone very sorry about very badly. Sorry about that, i must correct you. Ivy benson had must correct you. Ivy benson had a much bigger band. A much bigger girl band. Obviously, too youre young to have heard of her. I am an 88 year old girl. Thank you very much unnamed viewer. Much for that unnamed viewer. Okay, now listen, its okay, folks, now listen, its time for the last word. Im delighted to be joined from the united a political and United States by a political and royal hilary royal commentator, Hilary Fordwich , hilary, lovely to have fordwich, hilary, lovely to have you and, this is a you on the show. And, this is a story thats developing. Its in tomorrows express. And, the tomorrows express. And, the former royal butler to king charles, grant, harold, has claimed that prince harry has made one controversial and decisive move to step away from the royal family permanently, with meghan markle, the royal butler says that they may never heal the rift with the royal family by making one very sad decision, which is the decision to live permanently in the us and therefore breaking away from the firm of harry and meghan, reached the point of no return. Reached the point of no return. Well, pleasure to be back with you again, mark. I will say this actually, its rather interesting what grant says because yes , hes absolutely correct. This is with regard to the travel filings of travalyst, his firm that hes , invested with. Firm that hes, invested with. And lets just put it this way , and lets just put it this way, its rather hypocritical because of course, its all about eco travel. And we know that he flies around on private jets to his games. But putting that his polo games. But putting that aside, is interesting aside, mark, what is interesting here is the fact that he might not actually even be able to stay in the United States because the conservative think tank, the heritage foundation, the think tank, they have actually to have the actually filed to have the papers released of his immigration papers when one has to declare whether one has consumed drugs or not. Im in the us, as you mentioned, and those papers , when i emigrated those papers, when i emigrated here, those papers had to be signed. And yes , he has declared signed. And yes, he has declared in his book spare, that he consumed numerous drugs. So there is a chance, given what President Trump has said, that i dont think he necessarily has a secure future in the United States. So it may not be up to him. Okay lets bring my pundits in if i can. We have diana moran , benedict we have diana moran, Benedict Spence and nina michkov, do you think diana moran that prince harry is in big trouble has he walked away from britain permanently . I think he thought hed walked away permanently. But i walked away permanently. But i now do think that he could be in big trouble. Yes, the laws like the law and its. Everything is blown up. Everybody knows about everything. Nothing can be hidden. I its going to be very interesting times, hilary, whilst ive got you, Significant Developments in washington with america sending more billions to ukraine, is this the right thing to do . Well, its for not me to say whether its right or not, i will say this. That its been declared by mr johnson, who will say this. That its been declared by mrjohnson, who is the speaker of the house, that its not a perfect bill. The issue with the hold up of the aid, i dont think this is as clear across atlantic, but clear across the atlantic, but the issue the hold up was the issue of the hold up was that bill was lumped with that this bill was lumped with many other such as the many other issues, such as the control our us borders. We control of our us borders. We literally have an invasion here, like you with small boats like you do with the small boats issue the uk. In the us, issue in the uk. In the us, weve had over 20 million illegals come in and thats greater than the population of new york state. So over what period . Over so over what period . Over what period of 2020 million illegal immigrants, well, probably actually, since bidens beenin probably actually, since bidens been in office, theres been almost 10 million. So there were 10 million before. Its now a total of about 20 million. Right, actually the right, which is actually so the state of new jersey is a size thats come across the border since president bidens been in office. Back now your office. But back now to your question about its question about whether its right absolutely. He right or wrong, absolutely. He he has actually speaker he has actually the speaker johnson he wanted to be johnson has said he wanted to be on the right of history. On the right side of history. Yes, should be more aid. Yes, there should be more aid. The were one the the issues were one of the things that raised. Things that had been raised. Mark was regard to the nato mark was with regard to the nato countries arent paying countries that arent paying their 2 like france, germany, italy, netherlands , european italy, the netherlands, European Countries should be paying their 2 to nato. I would say that its not fair that people in the us and other countries should have to foot the entire bill. Poland and the us pay well over 3. Now, back to your point about whether its right or wrong. Yes. Let obviously yes. We cannot let obviously russia with four times the population win this war. And what has been what is hillary . The clock is against us. We could do an hour. The clock is against us. We could do an hour. Well do could do an hour. Well do longer next time. Thank you so much for joining longer next time.
