And that she should be shot. Mr hester says hes deeply sorry for the remarks at Prime Ministers questions today , sir ministers questions today, sir keir starmer confronted rishi sunak the remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak returnie remarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mremarks, pressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hesters ressing keir starmer confronted rishi sunak return mr hesters £10. Ing him to return mr hesters £10 million donation. The Prime Minister acknowledged Frank Hesters comments were wrong and racist, but declined to say his donations would be returned, instead calling out what he said were double standards in the labour im absolutely not labour party. Im absolutely not going to take any lectures from somebody , from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody, from somebody who chose to represent an anti semitic terrorist group, hizb ut tahrir , who chose to hizb ut tahrir, who chose to serve a leader who led anti semitism run rife in this labour party. Labour party. Those are his actions. Those are his values. And thats how he should be judged. The Prime Minister speaking there now, Andy Macdonald has had the labour whip restored after he was cleared of breaking party rules by using a controversial slogan at a pro palestine rally. The mp for middlesbrough was suspended in october after he used the phrase from the river to the sea during a speech at a pro palestine event. The words refer to the land between the river jordan land between the riverjordan and the mediterranean, which many find offensive because it appears to refer to all of israel. A labour spokesperson said mr macdonald had been reminded elected reminded that elected representatives must be mindful of how their words are interpreted , and migrants whove interpreted, and migrants whove been refused asylum to britain could be offered thousands of pounds to move to rwanda. The pounds to move to rwanda. The voluntary scheme would be separate to the safety of rwanda bill, which is facing delays due to a series of amendments. It would extend returns would extend current returns policies, some policies, which sees some migrants offered £3,000 to return to their country of origin , and tiktok could be origin, and tiktok could be bannedin origin, and tiktok could be banned in the us unless the apps chinese owners sell its american operation. The house of american operation. The house of representatives voted to pass a bill that would require the social Media Company to be sold or blocked with an overwhelming majority. The bill still needs to pass the senate to become law here in the uk. Tiktok hasnt been banned before, but it was blocked from the government devices in 2023 over data privacy concerns.

Patrick. It appears the archbishop of canterbury is doing more to promote islam than christianity. Promote islam than christianity. Justin welby stands accused of naively standing by while a fake Asylum SeekerConveyor Belt of muslim men uses the church of england as a back door into britain, claims he strongly denies. Then today we got this as the government desperately tries to clamp down on extremism in britain , which is in britain, which is overwhelmingly islamist. Welby signs a joint letter with the archbishop of york saying the new definition being proposed not only inadvertently threatens freedom of speech, but also the right to worship and peaceful protest things that have been hard won and form the fabric of a civilised society. Crucially, it risks disproportionately targeting muslim communities who are already experiencing rising levels of hate and abuse. Now, hate and abuse obviously is bad. All right , hate and abuse obviously is bad. All right, but could a new definition of extremism that disproportionately targets muslim communities possibly be because there is a disproportionate amount of extremism in certain hard line muslim communities . Look, its tough for welby, his definition of extremism and islamist terror is obviously very, very loose in nigeria , the jihadis have nigeria, the jihadis have slaughtered reportedly 62,000 christians since the year 2000. 8000 were murdered in 2023 alone by groups like boko haram , by groups like boko haram, Islamic State of west Africa Province and fulani militias. These are card carrying jihadi nutters. How did welby described nutters. How did welby described them . Oh, i, like many others around the world, im shocked and saddened by events in nigeria over the past few days. I join calls for the Immediate Release of the hundreds of school children, some as young as seven, kidnapped by gangs. Yeah. Gangs of what . Archbishop . Why cant you say it . The Jewish Chronicle reported that mr welby ianed chronicle reported that mr welby invited some alleged hardline islamists over for tea and cake. Islamists over for tea and cake. Mohammad ali shomali, who met justin welby, spent five years as the uk representative of the iranian Supreme Leader in his role as the head of the Islamic Centre of england, the London Mosque that was placed under investigation the Charity Investigation by the Charity Commission accused of promoting extremism, deny. Extremism, claims they deny. Also on the guest list was mohammed kozbar, a leader of the Muslim Council of britain, who praised the founder of the Hamas Terror Group as a holy warrior. I will be posted a gushing message after the event , saying message after the event, saying it was a pleasure to welcome friends, adding that hed enjoyed the honest sharing of different perspectives. Different perspectives. Interesting choice of friends for an archbishop of the christian faith, isnt it . In light of the latest allegations of fake Asylum Seeker baptisms for young muslim men, gb news has obtained leaked footage of the archbishop actually conducting one of these Asylum Seeker ceremonies himself. Greetings to muslims. At the start of the month of ramadan. I start of the month of ramadan. I wish you peace and joy as you begin this extraordinary and special time of prayer , fasting special time of prayer, fasting and spiritual reflection. Thank you for the huge contribution that muslims across our nation make to our society. Make to our society. Yeah. All right. Okay, that was a joke. Thats obviously not really well be doing a baptism, is it . Its him wishing everybody a happy ramadan. This is all from last few days. Is all from the last few days. So the question stands, i think, is the archbishop of canterbury doing more to promote islam than christianity . Lets get the christianity . Lets get the thoughts of my panel editor at large at the mail on sunday. Charlotte griffiths. Weve got businessman and activist adam brooks and of course, the incredibly successful author rebecca reid. Adam, ill start with you. Do you think that welby is doing more to promote islam . Certainly in the last few days anyway, arguably, than the christian faith, yeah. Its just a little bit as you said, disproportionate to say what was happening in nigeria. And look, weve got people calling for jihad on the streets of london. Weve got jewish schools with bomb threats, multiple schools. Bomb threats, multiple schools. Weve had jewish businesses attacked where is his time for that . Where are his words to the Jewish Community . I just find it very odd for me. He he really is a remainer lefty activist. You know, he tried to scupper brexit. He wants to wade in on the immigration. Hes interfering in the politics of this country, but that is part of his job. So i think sometimes theres a misconception that the church of england and that the church of england and that the church of are supposed to be of rome are supposed to be politically or the politically neutral or like the royal family, thats not the royal family, and thats not the case. Always been their case. Its always been their job to on politics. Its to weigh in on politics. Its always been their job to weigh in relevant. In on anything thats relevant. So on sunday and so i was at church on sunday and we prayed for of things, we prayed for lots of things, including in middle including peace in the middle east, including victims of east, including the victims of the bombings and the october 7th bombings and a terror attacks. And also we prayed for people embarking on ramadan. Thats normal. Ive ramadan. Thats normal. Ive done that my whole life. I dont think weve ever had, an that has been so an archbishop that has been so involved like we and involved like this. We have and so outspoken my lifetime in so outspoken in my lifetime in rowan like this. Rowan was just like this. They all were. Are you do you mind ask . Have you been mind if i ask . Have you been engaged the faith throughout . Im an atheist, so you know, im an atheist, so im religious sort, im not religious of any sort, but just find that , welby but i just find that, welby seems to go against the majority feeling the nearly feeling of the country nearly every time immigration, brexit. Its a bit odd. I just dont understand why he released the statement have seen. Ive statement. Have you seen. Ive got of the statement got a picture of the statement here its so lofty. Its here and its so lofty. Its just this a statement from the archbishop of canterbury. And its just nothing really to do with of with him. Its sort of uninvited, i and the uninvited, i think. And the other saying is, other thing he keeps saying is, you know, it could erode a civilised but society civilised society, but society isnt civilised. At least a isnt civilised. At least once a week on saturday. You know, we week on a saturday. You know, we have a civilisation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis a civilisation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. Isation problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. People problem week on a saturday. You know, we hathis country. People areilem in this country. People are falling out with each other and rioting protesting. Rioting and protesting. So i think working a think hes kind of working in a different a of different context, a context of a few months ago that doesnt exist anymore. Rebecca, take your yeah. Rebecca, ill take your point you churches, point about, you know, churches, for better phrase, for want of a better phrase, a broad however when do broad church. However when do you there doing okay . You see him there doing okay . Happy ramadan. Fine. Then you see that hes apparently reportedly had some, you know, alleged islamist round for tea and cake. And then hes going on and cake. And then hes going on about, well, this extremism definition which by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso nthh by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso could by the way, about, well, this extremism definialso could alsoe way, about, well, this extremism definialso could also affect could also could also affect conservative christians in a way people who are, you know, pro life or anti abortion would be another way of putting it. People who are, you know, dont believe in gay marriage. I mean, those equally be those are equally could be affected and then affected by this. Okay and then you top of that. Him you are on top of that. See him not describing boko not describing groups like boko haram as islamist. You just wonder, is he is he on wonder, you know, is he is he on a of almost muslim crusade here . No, i dont think so. I think that the idea of the church is that the idea of the church is that its supposed to be opening, open, armed, welcoming that its supposed to be opernon judgmental,. Welcoming that its supposed to be opernon judgmental,. Welinming and non judgmental, and in the same that this is not same way that this is not a version of the church of england that around if that goes around saying, if youre gay, get out. If youve had abortion, out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abortion, out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abo that. Out. This youre gay, get out. If youve hea abo that increasinglyis is a church that increasingly marries divorcees, that we are currently of the currently in a period of the church is more, more which church which is more, more which is softer, more minded, is softer, more open minded, more open armed. And i think that having tea with somebody who potentially a vile, who is potentially a vile, ghastly might possibly ghastly person might possibly do more change their mind than more to change their mind than shutting them out. Bringing shutting them out. But bringing someone is a better way to someone in is a better way to change the mind than pushing someone out. Thats what this channel jeremy channel does. I mean, Jeremy Corbyn, channel does. I mean, jeremy corby| rather channel does. I mean, jeremy corby|rather fruity characters as some rather fruity characters as friends, and it essentially cost him, him place in the him, cost him his place in the labour party. Theyre not allowed in the lords. Theyre not just fruity people, are they . They are dangerous this dangerous extremists in this country , i think 90 of the country, i think 90 of the terrorist watch list is islamist suspects. Now, more people , suspects. Now, more people, including children, have died through extreme islamist terrorism in the last 50 years than any other sort of terrorism. Now, this is a real problem to our way of life. And this is really serious. Why . I dont understand why hes having people like that for tea and why hes not calling out, using the church to call things like that out, because thats not how the church works. Instance , when pope so, for instance, when pope john shot, tea john paul was shot, he had tea with the person who him. With the person who shot him. Yeah, this about yeah, i get that. This is about opening conversations. The church here to shut church is not here to shut things down. Things open things down. Its things to open things down. Its things to open thirwell, i think i think youre well, i think i think youre i dont understand the church. Judgy, judgy and finger pointing time, pointing thing at the same time, though, hes just though, isnt he . Hes not just being softly, softly, gentle. I think, generally speaking, he welcome he is trying to open welcome everybody and haranguing half the time. You know, this comes fresh off the as of what was off the back as well of what was widely reported yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted yesterday about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y asylum about off the back as well of what was wideallegedted y Asylum Seeker this alleged fake Asylum Seeker conveyor do you do when but what do you do when someone . Yeah. Someone comes . Yeah. If youre defending himself against should against that, you should be defending himself against that. And we and i just wonder here when we couple with, you know, couple that with, you know, declining people couple that with, you know, declintol people couple that with, you know, declintol on people couple that with, you know, declintol on a people couple that with, you know, declintol on a sunday and going to church on a sunday and declining engagement the declining engagement with the with church of england faith with the church of england faith in increasingly in this country and increasingly disillusioned of disillusioned actual members of clergy, you think, clergy, etc. And you just think, why constant coming why is this guy constant coming out saying stuff about out and saying stuff about another the church another faith . If the church really is, has got such a problem with these , when you problem with these, when you turn people to christianity for, for immigration, why is he not being called out more . Are people scared of him just because hes a religious leader . You know, people are scared of him. I think the one of the really important tenets of the bible is that if somebody comes to you and says, i want to be part of your faith, you welcome them in. P them in. Very the church is and its very the church is being gain. Being used to gain. Do when someone what do you do when someone so you are if somebody comes so if you are if somebody comes to you and ive called the to you and says, ive called the people are slaughtering people that are slaughtering nigerian christian children, islamist, card islamist, i mean, they are card carrying lot. Carrying jihadis this lot. Question marks about i think question marks about this, i think, i think he could have around the street on have done around the street on a saturday. This is members of boko haram. Saturday. This is members of boi yeah, quite possibly. I think there might have been an oversight. To oversight. But i think to suggest and i think probably in terms if he had his time again, he might well amend it. But i think terms of the fake think in terms of the fake conversion, amend conversion, he wouldnt amend it. Wouldnt it. He wouldnt amend it. He wouldnt amend it. Hes now i think hes i think hes now i think hes a complete boor. Hes hes a complete woke boor. Hes hes just really to just he really is. And to be honest, dont him honest, i dont want him lecturing me on. On what . On what . The leader of your faith or immigration to anything he says. Hes not hes not relevant to you. But i dont have other religions trying to tell me what i should. Yes, you do that, do i . They all do. I . They all do. Ive got charlotte on you. Ive got charlotte on you. Ive got charlotte on you. I like him to just be defending our faith a little bit more. You know, those of us who are maybe stick are christians maybe just stick up christianity. Are christians maybe just stick up buchristianity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what anity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what isity. Are christians maybe just stick up but what is it. Are christians maybe just stick up but what is it that we need but what is it that we need to be defended against . I just dont see currently extremism. Whole w thats the whole point of the statement. Think statement. But i dont think thats agree. Statement. But i dont think tha we agree. Statement. But i dont think tha we absolutely all of this we absolutely all of this country t
