Hes going to bring together all those newly elected metro mayors so he can focus on what he talks about regional aid. Ill tell you what those metro mayors will become the bane of his life, because they will all be jumping up and down when hes Prime Minister demanding more money. Weve seen it under andy burnham up in manchester when boris was mayor. Yeah, itll be much the it will be a much louder call when, when labourin be a much louder call when, when labour in power. Well its a worrying time. But joining us now is daily mail columnist sarah vine. Morning. Good morning. Good morning, good morning. Morning. Well, Prime Minister is going to tell us the countrys only safe in his hands. Well, i think what hes trying to say is, and i think hes right, there are a lot of big things coming up that are going to change the world. I hes right about that. I mean, quite worrying in many ways, migration also a big thing climate change. I dont know if thats in his thing. And what hes trying to say is, you know, better the devil you know. You know, im sort of, you know, im already here. Im quite competent. I might not be very exciting or thrilling , and i may exciting or thrilling, and i may not have lots of bright, sparkly things to offer you as , as an things to offer you as, as an electorate. But, you know, im slow and steady. Slow and steady. Trouble is, he talks about were in an unsafe world. Whats happening in russia . Yeah. Israel, gaza, ukraine, china. But defence spending has gone down, hasnt gone up enough. No, i mean exactly he does need to address those issues and illegal might legal migration to this country is sky high. Shocking three quarters of a million. And they still havent stopped the boats. No i know that doesnt detract from the fact that all of those mistakes have been made. But i mean, im just trying to say this is his political strategy. Yeah. And i think for him, its probably quite a good political strategy because i think people are feeling, you know, people are very to sort of play on peoples uncertainty is quite clever, really, isnt it, because everyone is feeling quite uncertain. And so maybe if uncertain. And so maybe if youre feeling uncertain, then what you dont do is vote for massive change, i dont know. Yeah, well, also people are uncertain with keir starmer with this whole Natalie Elphicke. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So people are thinking, well, thats so weird. What does this man for . Stand if hes going to allow that in his party is unions are sort of turning against him as well. Yeah. And people are asking questions. Yeah and i think theres a general public are looking out. Youre sort of thinking, well hang on, i would have voted for this guy. But what what will i get if i do that. Yeah, exactly. And of course now were going to enter into a phase where we see more and more of keir starmer and more and more of the people around him, crucially. And well start to see what his you know, what, what what hes made of, whether hes able to sort of push back against some of the sort of stranger elements in the party. I dont understand why hes got why would you get Natalie Elphicke on board . I mean, shes such a strange woman. When i was told that Natalie Elphicke was defecting to laboun elphicke was defecting to labour, i said, no, no, no, no, thats a mistake. Thats cost me. She must be defecting to reform. Shes very right wing. Reform. Shes very right wing. Shes on the right of the party. Shes on the right of the party. She makes me look like. Who was responsible for that . Who was responsible for that . Well, it was 5 or 6 people maximum, in the labour leaders office. Sue gray, whos the chief of staff, comes up. That name keeps coming up who apparently thought it was a good idea. She is very, very, very key to everything. Shes very powerful. Yeah, but so Rachel Reeves the shadow chancellor, the Angela Rayner, the deputy leader. Well, shes not consulted on anything, frankly, by starmer. He doesnt like her. No , hes not part shes not no, hes not part shes not part of the squad. And hes lumbered with her because shes an electron. Rachel reeves i think, is calling the shots. She was not in the loop, which is why you could see the look on some of those womens faces when she crossed the floor and took her seat. Its like she trodden in something. But also she had that really weird thing with her husband, who was who was accused of all sorts of. Well, he went to prison for it. He went to prison. And then she tried to sexual assault. Yeah. And then she tried to sort of. She badmouthed the victim . Yeah. His victim. Oh, well, they just were not with him because hes so attractive. Really bad. Look for a woman, for women. Yeah. So thats all backfired. And then, of course, we had neil kinnock , who was labour leader, kinnock, who was labour leader, telling writing that he wasnt sure that. Yeah countries, falling in love with him. I dont, i dont think the country has fallen in love with keir starmer. I mean, i think a lot of people think that hes a sort of nice chap and they kind of like the cut of his jib, but i think that thats just because theyre so disillusioned with the, with the tories. But but unfortunately , also but but unfortunately, also some of the labour policies that have come out. I mean, he said that wales was a blueprint and in wales theyre currently sending drones to see the size of peoples gardens to increase council tax or rebate. Council tax or rebate. And theyve had that terrible sort of back. Theyve had that terrible 20, 20, 20 mile an hour speed limit, which theyve had to sort of row back on. Yeah, yeah. I to sort of row back on. Yeah, yeah. I mean wales is a wales is a mess. I mean and you know its, its, its been a mess for about 5 or 6 years. I mean i go to there, i go im welsh, i go there quite a lot do you think. But rishi will make that big speech today. Are people listening anymore. Have they, have they zoned out because theyve decided its time for a change . Were fed up. We dont care what he says today. I dont, you said famously, didnt you, if they cured cancer , it you, if they cured cancer, it wouldnt make a lot of difference. I mean, i think people are just people are just, fed up. They just want. Do you think politics to go away and stop being so useless . What . What people want from politicians and politicians is they just want the country to work. So the country to work. So politicians shouldnt really be visible. They shouldnt really. They should just be kind of getting on with their jobs and everything should be working and then and then if that happens, then and then if that happens, then we can all just ignore them. Do you know what i mean . People wanted a change because, you know, theyve been in power for like what, 14 years . And rishi is largely responsible for a lot of the economic chaos because he was the chancellor for a certain portion of it. But i think people are saying we want change, but we dont want this a weird sort of feeling that we dont know what the change will be. They want certainty within that change. I think thats the problem that keir starmer is being so vague about his policies. Then he does this curveball action with Natalie Elphicke and suddenly everyones going, well, hes flip flopping all the time. What does he stand for . Yeah, i agree , i think people yeah, i agree, i think people people are starting to think, well, maybe though maybe the better better the devil i know. I think thats what hes i mean, i think thats what hes i mean, i think thats what hes i mean, i think i think in terms of rishi, we say about him being chancellor and being responsible. I mean, he, he, i was sort of in the room during covid and i have to say, he was one of the one of the people that i, you know, that were most worried about lockdown and were most resistant to it. I mean, he was sort of slightly bamboozled in the end , but i think he i think the end, but i think he i think he has some very good instincts actually, to be honest, i really do think he does. I think hes, you know, politics is all about timing. Its like comedy. Its all about timing. You know, you need to be in the right place at the right time for it to work. And hes hes in the right place at the wrong time, i think probably. Yeah. Well hes hes hanging fast to his ideas. His five pledges, and hes very focused. And the good thing is i think slightly because he is i think slightly because he is rich, hes not likely to be swayed by money or i mean, i mean, the thing is, i always thought, why is he doing this . I mean, he could be sitting on a yacht somewhere eating lime creams and not worrying about any of it. Yeah. So i think, you know, you have to understand, the man does have a sort of he has passion, sense of. Yes. Has passion, sense of. Yes. Passion, duty. Yeah. Now stay with us because weve got estimate very making really important speech today about how shes going to stop these ridiculous diversity schemes of government. We have people talk about that before and also were all going to talk about europe. Yes, because i want to talk about ridiculous. Well, apparently viewing figures as well plummeted by over 2 million. I stucked with it to the end. God knows why it was so bad. I drifted in and out of sleep as i was listening to it at breakfast the next day. But youre with britains newsroom on gb news. Do not go anywhere. Well, im trying not to be too, whats the word. Told you so. If you like the eurovision, according to figures out this morning, had its most disastrous night today because viewing figures was down by 2. 5 million, still, since julias my fellow daily mail columnist survey. Yes, because it was awful. Well, it was awful. But i wonder also whether the boycott. Because because people were boycotting it, werent they. Because because because. So the bbc had had a drag queen on telling everyone that she was boycotting it, because she was boycotting it, because she was boycotting it. Someone called crystal , who was who came boycotting it. Someone called crystal, who was who came on boycotting it. Someone called crystal , who was who came on the crystal, who was who came on the newsnight to say that she was boycotting her her north london party because of israel. So maybe thats the thats why the figures are down. They cancelled some eurovision parties in gay bars in soho, so i wonder whether thats what did it all north london party, i think. I think the whole of dalston basically not tuning in is whats caused this massive drop in ratings. Whats caused this massive drop in ratings. But no, whats caused this massive drop in ratings. But no, seriously, in ratings. But no, seriously, i was awful. I watched every spit of it, just because i was. I was fascinated by it all because of the whole controversial controversy around israel. I have to say, a lot of those performers needed to go and see a hygienist. I mean, that man who was the irish entry, who was sort of who was supposed to be a satanic witch. Shes a, shes a she does pop witchery or something. She screeched and she screeched on and then took her clothes off. And then there was a sort of devil man who was gyrating around her, who, you know, obviously hadnt cleaned his teeth in years. The vodka break. Okay, fine. That was the break was when i went and got the item. And then and then we had the uk entry. Terrible Olly Alexander. No Olly Alexander, i should say in his defence, he was brilliant in its a sin, which was was it channel 4 . Channel 4 . Brilliant. He was really good in that he cannot sing. Hes not a singer. I know he was in something called years and years, but. But i dont know whether thats because they have a studio and then thats easier. But hes performing in a codpiece, gay sex in a public lavatory . No, i mean, i dont know. This is your department. Well, its. I tweeted saying, is this song doing so badly because he appears to be glorifying what used to be known as cottaging, when men used to go and seek sexual. It. Didnt George Michael sort of do that and got a conviction for it . Yes, exactly. And it used to happen before homosexuality was legalised. So you had to go seven to awful places like toilets, but presumably now you dont need to have sex in toilets. Well, i never have anyway, by the way. Just, just, just that on the record, but i think i think that but also the, the choreography. At one point they were simulating they were sex. And why did they have black tongues as well . They need to go tongues as well . They need to go to a dentist. Why were they all dressed as rent boys anyway . Thats a mystery to me. I was embarrassed by it. I was embarrassed by it. Well, i, i was ashamed of it. Well, i, i was ashamed of it. I just looked at it and thought, why . Of all the great things that weve produced in this country, you know, david bowie, weve had the rolling stones, you know, even sam ryder a couple of years ago , he was fantastic. He was great. He was brilliant. But why do we pick such awful entries . I mean, remember my mother , she was well, she hated mother, she was well, she hated britain. She hated britain as well. Yeah. And this twit who was our entry said the union flag is nationalistic. Nationalistic. But then he was posing in union flag trousers with a bra top. Yes, exactly. And i thought , i thought the i thought the israeli entry, i mean, i didnt really like the song. I liked her dress, but i just voted for it because i thought the choreography was awful, the way she was, you know, besieged in her hotel room. But i did also think that the ukraine entry was quite interesting, because i know that the israeli entry got into trouble for referencing the october seventh attacks, and she had to sort of rewrite her stuff because youre not allowed to mention the war or anything like that,
