[00:00:30] on
[00:00:30] of some
[00:00:30] of the big topics hitting the headlines right now, this show is all

[00:00:35] of opinion, it's
[00:00:37] of of of mine, it's theirs and of course it's yours, we'll be debating, discussing and at times we will disagree,
[00:00:41] in but no one will be cancelled, so
[00:00:44] of joining of me for the next few hours, broadcaster and
[00:00:47] of journalist danny kelly and leader
[00:00:51] of the climate party ed
[00:00:53] of in
[00:00:54] of gemel, coming up in my
[00:00:56] a niggle, if countries are demanding historic reparations,
[00:01:00] running into trillions from
[00:01:02] of us, these are countries we've given over 6 billion pounds with of aid
[00:01:05] of to, in these of in are countries from whom we've taken nearly four million
[00:01:10] in of migrants, of all of it in the last two
[00:01:10] of decades, of no more fresh visas until they drop
[00:01:13] of these in demands, it couldn't be clearer. take on those
[00:01:17] of demanding of
[00:01:18] of reparations over slavery, it's time to put our foot foot foot down and tell
[00:01:22] countries like barbados to clear off. let's finally grow a
[00:01:25] backbone and remind the world
[00:01:26] of the great things that
[00:01:27] of Britain of has of contributed, also coming up in the Great British
[00:01:33] of of debate, I'm asking, do you want early election? That's what Andy Burnham is reportedly plotting to raise
[00:01:36] of taxes, minister for
[00:01:39] of of women of and
[00:01:40] of in of equalities, Britit Philipson and labor need longer to deliver on
[00:01:41] of their of promises. We were
[00:01:44] a only elected
[00:01:45] in in July 2024, and that was for five-year term, and there's a lot of work that we
[00:01:49] need to do, and I'm focused on how between now and the next election
[00:01:53] we deliver the
[00:01:54] a promises that we made to the British people, but I'm sure she would
[00:01:58] in say a of that, shout
[00:01:58] of out chief secretary to the... Richard fuller says the government is
[00:02:02] in denial over the fiscal
[00:02:04] a situation. They have
[00:02:06] a produced their
[00:02:07] of
[00:02:07] of forecasts
[00:02:07] of and then they've run out of money and then they've run to the tax payer for
[00:02:11] more money.
[00:02:11] of So of accountability runs both ways. So in the great bridge debate I'm asking
[00:02:15] of do you want early election? The
[00:02:21] a of poll of is live
[00:02:22] of of now, head over to gbnews.com to cast your of vote. of
[00:02:23] a of
[00:02:23] of Then in the next great British debate I'm
[00:02:24] of asking has net
[00:02:25] of zero become ridiculous. The answer my
[00:02:28] friend is bl.
[00:02:31] of
[00:02:34] of A prison in Dorcit is spending
[00:02:38] of of of of
[00:02:41] of of hundreds of thousands of pounds on net zero friendly boilers to keep sex offenders
[00:02:43] of warm of during woodwork classes, so in the great rid of debate I'm asking, has
[00:02:47] net zero become
[00:02:50] of of ridiculous? Then
[00:02:54] of of of of in of another, in it's a second day for the Liberal Democrats and their conferences Sir Ed Dave says that his party is firewall against
[00:02:58] of of of Nigel of Farage and Reform.
[00:03:00] of will
[00:03:05] of of they of hear? we care, we fight! we
[00:03:07] of care, we
[00:03:08] of
[00:03:09] of fight! and in the interview, I'll be joined by
[00:03:12] a Hartforture Reform Counselor Simon
[00:03:14] in of of Rhodes, who's leading the
[00:03:15] of charge of in objecting to plans to create a
[00:03:17] a county of sanctuary for refugees? is it a welcoming
[00:03:20] initiative? has
[00:03:21] of anybody in Hartfordshire been
[00:03:23] of consulted, or is it simply just
[00:03:28] of of virtue a of siggling of and gesture? but before we get started, your latest news with Sophia wensler:
[00:03:34] of of of of of of of Nana, thank you, and good afternoon, your
[00:03:38] headlines, the minutes
[00:03:39] of past a three.
[00:03:40] a El of Spencer says there are similarities between how both his
[00:03:44] of sister, princess Diana, and
[00:03:45] of the duke and Dutches of Sussex have been treated by the media.
[00:03:49] Harry and
[00:03:50] of Megan, who recently returned to the UK from
[00:03:53] in of California, six years
[00:03:54] me after of stepping back from royal
[00:03:56] of duties of have in been repeatedly critical
[00:04:00] a of of the press. Speaking to the BBC, he's daily
[00:04:03] of of criticism from the press must be of cancerous influence on their
[00:04:04] of
[00:04:05] of lives. It would be really beholding on people to learn from Dyana's
[00:04:08] example. I'm not here to
[00:04:10] of speak of for Harry and Megan, but for anyone who's
[00:04:12] of being
[00:04:12] in
[00:04:13] of of destroyed in this
[00:04:14] a way a daily, it must be such cancerous influence in their
[00:04:18] life. One
[00:04:19] of the problems with
[00:04:20] of Diana was, she's very,
[00:04:23] of of very of sensitive to criticism, and of course,
[00:04:25] of I'm sure most of your viewers now think, oh, she had this splendid
[00:04:28] in life and it was all amazing, and she
[00:04:29] of didn't, was so privileged
[00:04:30] of
[00:04:31] of and so perfect in so
[00:04:33] in of many ways, but she was really brought low
[00:04:34] a by a all a that criticism,
[00:04:39] of of and yeah, I suppose it's of a of pityy a when I see in echos of that now. and Tiren has apologized to
[00:04:43] of fans for making
[00:04:44] of mistakes of as in he opened a solo show in Philadelphia. all
[00:04:49] in of the singers support acts, of
[00:04:49] of including his band have quit the current loop tour after the
[00:04:52] of US of rapper McLamore was dropped for making pro-palestine
[00:04:56] of comments. Shiran said that the decision was taken by
[00:05:00] motors, not
[00:05:01] of him, but said he was sorry for his handling
[00:05:06] a of in of the controversy that
[00:05:06] a followed. of of "I don't
[00:05:07] of want i to disappoint fans and I've never wanted to be an activist
[00:05:11] of musician, but this has
[00:05:11] of put me in the mid." of an important and passionate argument about
[00:05:15] freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the
[00:05:18] planet. he described the October
[00:05:22] 7th Hamas led attacks as horrific, but said Israel's treatment of
[00:05:26] residence in Gaza is unjustifiable.
[00:05:30] At least two people have been killed and six injured in one the biggest
[00:05:33] Ukrainian drone attacks on the Moscow region overnight. Officials
[00:05:37] in Russia say more than 200 drones had been shot down and
[00:05:41] fires were reported in several residential houses and an oil
[00:05:44] refinery. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, mother and her two three-year-old
[00:05:48] children have been killed in the Keib region. The governor there says the area
[00:05:52] has endured constant hostyle attacks for more than a day
[00:05:56] with 31 sights damaged in five
[00:05:58] districts. Sir Ed Dave says he is
[00:06:02] confident the Liberal Democrats can take on Nigel Farage and Zak
[00:06:05] Palansky at the next election, insisting he has the charisma to
[00:06:09] compete with both. Speaking at the party conference in Brighton, he
[00:06:13] said if the Liberal Democrats were to form the next government, they would cut fuel
[00:06:17] duty and rail and bus fairs a cost of around two
[00:06:20] billion pounds a year. got to help people with the costling,
[00:06:24] particularly the rise in filling your car up at the pumps of petrol and
[00:06:28] diesel. thanks to Trump's idiotic war with Iran, people
[00:06:32] are paying a fortune just to fill up the car, so we think we should have
[00:06:36] cut in fuel duty tax for the next three months to
[00:06:39] cut the price you pay at the pumps by 12p. liter
[00:06:43] that would really bring help just when it's needed and it will pay for itself because the government's
[00:06:47] getting huge amounts of tax revenue from these higher oil and gas prices, they
[00:06:51] should give it back to people. the conservatives
[00:06:55] are calling on labor to cut welfare spending at next month's budget,
[00:06:59] warning the government must confront what they describe as Britain's
[00:07:02] economic peril. the role comes as inflation reaches
[00:07:06] five month high of 3.1% with chancellor John Healey due
[00:07:10] to deliver the budget at the end of October. but Bridget Philipson
[00:07:13] insists benefits support young people into work and lift children
[00:07:17] out of poverty. Some the hardest working people I know
[00:07:21] are people that are in law-paid jobs. They work incredibly hard, they do the right thing,
[00:07:25] they don't earn huge amounts of money, and they deserve support to, and to that point about
[00:07:29] child poverty, one the biggest indicators is to what whether you will go
[00:07:33] to live a good life where you can contribute as whether you grow up in poverty. Therefore, tackling
[00:07:37] child poverty, lifting children out of poverty is absolutely the right
[00:07:41] thing to do. You're up to date on GB News, now it's

[00:08:06] Good afternoon. It is seven minutes after 3 o'clock. I'm nanaqu. This is
[00:08:10] GB News. We're live on TV. online and on digital
[00:08:14] radio, so coming up in the great budget debate, I'm asking,
[00:08:18] do you want early election? Andy Burnham is reportedly
[00:08:22] plotting to raise taxes, so what do you think, do you want
[00:08:25] early general election, so the great budge debate, I'm asking you that, then in the next
[00:08:29] great debate of this hour, I'm asking, is John Healey right to introduce a
[00:08:33] mansion tax, the chancellor's plan changes mean more than a quarter of
[00:08:37] million families will be hit with the levy, so in the next great
[00:08:41] debate I'm asking is for John Healey Wright to introduce a mansion
[00:08:45] tax, and it's the second day the Libdam Conference that Sir Ed Dave,
[00:08:48] he says his party is firewall against Nigel Farage and
[00:08:52] reform, what do you think
[00:08:54] and did world view or cross live to the United States to speak to the host the
[00:08:58] politics people podcast Paul Duddridge as Donald Trump bans what he
[00:09:01] calls fake news journalists from the White
[00:09:04] House. That is all coming up as ever. Send me your
[00:09:08] thoughts, post your comments. Gbnews.com/
[00:09:12] say, why not scan the QR code you see on your
[00:09:15] screen?
[00:09:23] so welcome aboard, I'm Nanna Aquare, in is the prime minister plotting
[00:09:27] early general election. labor sources claim that Andy
[00:09:31] Burnham wants to call a snap election within the next year to
[00:09:35] seek a fresh mandate to raise taxes. chancellor John
[00:09:38] Healey is reportedly considering series of tax rises ahead of next month.
[00:09:42] budget is the treasury looks to raise an extra 10 to 15
[00:09:46] billion pounds. We're joining me to discuss this is former labor MEP
[00:09:50] Sean Spears. Uh, Sean. So here we are again, there
[00:09:54] they are, asking for more money, but yet there's no sign of any
[00:09:57] productivity, and they are enlarging the public sector while
[00:10:01] shrinking the profitable part the economy, which is the private
[00:10:04] sector. Well, I, I, I think that's a
[00:10:07] rather biased characterization. Well, I don't think it's got anything to do with bias. I
[00:10:11] think it's true.
[00:10:14] Well
[00:10:15] the what you've got across the world is governments in power that are
[00:10:19] struggling because of uh the um Ukraine
[00:10:23] war price shock shock. of oil there, then Iran, you
[00:10:27] got uh, the most unpopular chancellor ever in Germany, the most unpopular
[00:10:30] uh president ever in France, you've got Trump looking a drubbing in
[00:10:34] the midterm elections, that the times are tough for the world
[00:10:38] economy, I don't think uh, this is at all unique to the
[00:10:42] UK, and what's worse in the UK is is the waste the
[00:10:45] austerity years following 2010, and Brexit, which has had
[00:10:49] huge and damaging impact on the UK economy, so
[00:10:53] I i think whoever is in power, they're going to... face uh some difficult choices. well,
[00:10:57] I put it back to you that what you've said is quite bias that Brexit, I mean a lot
[00:11:01] of people hop on about Brexit instead of focusing what is going on right now,
[00:11:05] so right now the welfare budget is
[00:11:08] ballooning, so the welfare state is now taking up
[00:11:12] most the taxes, so we're paying more for wealth than they're taking
[00:11:15] tax. let's be honest here, these are
[00:11:19] policies that the labour government could start looking
[00:11:22] to change, so for example reducing the... air state, you could
[00:11:26] reduce the civil service, you could get quite a lot of money, eat quite a lot of
[00:11:30] cash out of doing lot of those things, but no,
[00:11:34] yeah, well look on Brexit, it's not bias, it's it's a fact that Brexit has cost the UK
[00:11:37] economy about 6% of growth, I mean that's that's bank of England figures, OBR
[00:11:41] etc. so that's not how
[00:11:44] many times, well the OBR, well they might get their predictions
[00:11:48] wrong, but the their analysis I think is pretty sound, is pretty
[00:11:52] sound, I mean I don't, no, honestly,
[00:11:54] come on, no... thinks that Brexit was economic success for the UK, let's let's park that,
[00:11:58] it's because we can say it's the behavior the politicians
[00:12:02] though, they didn't really capitalize on what was in front them, they didn't want to do it,
[00:12:06] many them so they didn't, there was no will, so they literally stood in their own
[00:12:10] way, so there was no way Brexit was going to be success simply because they didn't want
[00:12:13] it, yeah, you got the wrong type of Brexit, like you got the long wrong type of
[00:12:17] Russian Revolution, I mean,
[00:12:19] it was, it was disaster economically, let's park that, but I, I think on
[00:12:22] welfare, clearly the government is going to have to cut the... welfare bill and about
[00:12:26] half of it goes to old age pensioners, and so lot of people are looking at the triple lock,
[00:12:30] but that's clearly very controversial. uh, the question is, do you just sort of
[00:12:34] slash it, which obviously the last government decided not to do, which is
[00:12:37] why the the welfare b blooned under the conservatives as
[00:12:40] well, or do you try and find a way to help people into work and
[00:12:44] and and ensure that you don't just kind of create a
[00:12:48] generation with no opportunities, you lot the money goes to try to help
[00:12:52] children, we don't want children growing up in poverty, that that's
[00:12:55] immorally wrong, but it's also stupid because they'll end
[00:12:58] up uh kind of not being able to uh do good
[00:13:02] jobs, not being productive, not paying taxes, more of inclined to go into
[00:13:06] crime etc. so you got to cut the welfare bill carefully, and
[00:13:10] that's clearly really, really difficult. i think the choices any government
[00:13:14] is going to face is really difficult, that's why the conservatives were slung out with such kind
[00:13:18] of so decisively two years ago, because they screwed it
[00:13:21] up. the question is, can this government not screw it up as well? could... government not screwed
[00:13:25] up, the country, there's less money around, well, I think
[00:13:29] a government could perhaps start looking at growth, they could
[00:13:33] start cutting down the size the civil service, which is larger than it was even
[00:13:36] during COVID, so I mean, we don't have COVID in the situation, we're not
[00:13:40] in that situation, but somehow we've ended up with this double-sized
[00:13:44] civil service pretty much and less productivity, which is makes
[00:13:48] no sense, and there is a fortune in savings right there, and also
[00:13:52] the NHS, another big. place where it becomes a
[00:13:56] black hole, instead of making it more efficient and trying to look at where it can be
[00:14:00] improved and stop wasting money on procurement and all the other stuff,
[00:14:04] nobody's looking any of that, they're just looking at more money to pump these
[00:14:07] things. no, of course they are looking at it, and and this is
[00:14:11] major, but they are, just it's it's turning around an oil tanker
[00:14:15] isn't it, it's very slow, but it clearly lot the um investment
[00:14:18] in the NHS that labor introduced when where Streeting was health minister
[00:14:22] was was contingent on improvements. productivity, the whole question
[00:14:26] of UK industrial productivity goes back 30 or 40
[00:14:30] years, and it's a mystery, we are less productive as a country, we we've
[00:14:34] squeezed immigration now, which again is having an impact on the economy, but it
[00:14:38] may also help with productivity, because you can't import cheap
[00:14:41] workers, then we'll have to work harder at training our own workers, which should increase
[00:14:45] productivity, but these things are going to take slowly, the the civil
[00:14:49] service, the government have got plans to slim down the civil service again, it's
[00:14:52] all talk though, there's talk. more talk, get rid the
[00:14:56] load them, they're not doing anything, they're making themselves, well why do
[00:15:00] you say they're not doing anything, lot them are, there's too many, how can you
[00:15:03] have literally such a large size of civil service and and lower rate of
[00:15:07] productivity, it's it's it's ridiculous and what
[00:15:10] about net zero, what about net zero?
[00:15:14] now that net zero, well what, what what what
[00:15:18] about the catastrophic impacts of climate change is already having in terms of
[00:15:22] drought, floods uh uh people dying of excess
[00:15:26] heat, you've got to tackle climate change, but net
[00:15:29] zero has brought in hundred billion, more than hundred billion pounds of
[00:15:32] investment
[00:15:33] in in the economy since the election the UK.
[00:15:38] Yeah, but the cost implement it is is apparently in the trillions, it's going
[00:15:41] to cost four. Yeah, but but the the cost of not doing anything is is in the
[00:15:45] tens of trillions and that's very well attested again by your by the by the office
[00:15:49] budget responsibility as saying not do anything, but what they're doing is
[00:15:53] it really contributing any real terms to changing or assisting with
[00:15:57] the climate? I mean, why would you not utilize your own oil and
[00:16:00] gas instead of, why would you continue to import it? Why would you get
[00:16:04] rid of your own steel industry to then import it? from china who are
[00:16:08] burning coal at the rate of nots whilst yes creating
[00:16:12] uh better facilities in terms of climate uh
[00:16:16] um renewable energy but at the same time they're
[00:16:20] burning coal like anything they're moving off it
[00:16:24] quite quite rapidly and they're beating their targets for getting to net zero
[00:16:27] themselves in the transition yes but
[00:16:31] they're using their own they're using cold to do that we're not doing
[00:16:35] anything like that we're in. porting
[00:16:38] stuff, the problem is we've got we've got a
[00:16:41] decrepit uh system, so you can invest in new gas fired power
[00:16:45] stations if you want, which is really expensive now, or you can invest in
[00:16:48] renewable home-grown energy, which once you've got it once you paid down the
[00:16:52] investment
[00:16:53] it is is free because you
[00:16:54] have to pay that's not quite true though, because you've got to put the infrastructure in
[00:16:58] place, so we've got the wind turbines which we've had to pay hundreds
[00:17:02] of millions to stop them from turning to switch them off frankly
[00:17:06] because there was there was no point cuuse we couldn't use any the energy, there's the
[00:17:09] infrastructure of all the pylons that you're going to have to put in place to transfer that
[00:17:13] energy in across the country, that's going to cost billions. uh,
[00:17:17] and then there's the fact that the wind turbine last what 15, 20 years, and you got to buy
[00:17:21] some more from China, but anything is going to cost
[00:17:25] billions, well no, we're making, we've got a huge wind turbineum factory
[00:17:28] in, I think it's in in Hull, which is producing lots of jobs and lots of lots
[00:17:32] of wealth, so we're not just importing from China, but whatever you do with the
[00:17:36] energy system. you're going to
[00:17:38] need to um invest because we
[00:17:41] we're
[00:17:42] we we're dealing with the legacy of 30 years of underinvestment clapped out grid
[00:17:46] uh clapped out gas fired power stations clapped out nuclear power
[00:17:49] stations whatever you do you're going to have to invest so is the best thing to invest
[00:17:53] in home grown energy or in oil and gas the north sea
[00:17:57] basen is virtually depleted so we could get a little bit of
[00:18:01] oil and gas out the north sea but um
[00:18:05] sold on international markets it'll do nothing for the cost of but how come norway
[00:18:08] have got loads from there then? are you sure it's completely depleted? mean, you
[00:18:12] don't, it's i think it's an unknown quantity really, isn't
[00:18:15] it? no, Norway i'm afraid had a Norway had social
[00:18:19] democratic government that planned for um a
[00:18:23] long-term depletion their oil and gas fields and
[00:18:27] they invested lot the profits a sovereign wealth fund which is enabling
[00:18:31] them to deal with the transition, move really very fast on heat pumps
[00:18:35] electric vehicles etc. so... fully brought into some parts the
[00:18:39] transition, the UK uh sold
[00:18:42] out the north sea oil and gas to private companies, depleted it as quickly
[00:18:46] as possible, spent the money on tax cuts and we're left with clapped out oil
[00:18:50] and gas field with virtually oil and gas left in it, so that I'm afraid
[00:18:54] is is legacy of uh Mr. Sacher, well
[00:18:58] what about Rose Bank and those other stations, I know that Rose Bank apparently
[00:19:02] it's crude oil so that we can't use it ourselves, but we can export
[00:19:06] it potentially and there's the BP. they they they're leaving the
[00:19:09] UK, they they're selling out, maybe we should start to own
[00:19:13] our own oil and gas, could that not
[00:19:15] be become public own publicly
[00:19:18] owned, well i think addy burnham said he's
[00:19:22] going to look at public control, i'm not quite sure how that would work out, but the fact is there is
[00:19:26] very little oil and gas to be had in the UK, you could try to
[00:19:30] frack
[00:19:31] but show a constituency that's going to allow fracking, you know the David Cameron's government
[00:19:35] when full pell for fracking, there was major part their program, but
[00:19:39] constituency after constituency rose up against it, so I don't think fracking is
[00:19:42] likely to happen in the UK
[00:19:44] and the North Sea as i say is depleted basin, so I don't what what people
[00:19:48] have got against producing home grown
[00:19:52] cheap renewable energy and at the same time creating lots of jobs
[00:19:55] and tackling climate change, it's a win win. well you say that, but lot
[00:19:59] of us are looking at that saying saying you need to tackle that with other countries, bigger
[00:20:03] countries like for example United States who are potentially produce.
[00:20:07] lot more than us.
[00:20:08] all right, thank you very much. uh, former labor MEP, Shan
[00:20:12] Spires. really good to talk to you. thank you. all right, breaking
[00:20:15] news, the prime minister has congratulated his Danish counterpart for
[00:20:19] negotiating deal benefiting the US, Greenland, and
[00:20:23] Denmark. the prime minister will pass on his congratulations to President
[00:20:26] Donald Trump. so there you have it, Andy Burnham has actually
[00:20:30] uh, congratulated. brilliant, president Donald
[00:20:34] Trump. that's wonderful. in fact, the deal, the best deals are ones. there is enlightened
[00:20:38] self-interest, which means that everybody wins, and that's the one he's struck. well, let's
[00:20:42] move on because it's day two the lib dem conference, and so Ed Davy is taking
[00:20:46] aim at reform UK and Elon Musk for people.
[00:20:50] "the party is gearing up for a fight as Britain's political battle lines
[00:20:54] are redrawn, but is if if early election came could
[00:20:58] came calling, could the Limdemps be ready? let's go now to the Limdemp
[00:21:01] conference. Katherine Foster joins us now for our political correspondent.
[00:21:05] Katherine, yes,
[00:21:09] good afternoon, Nanna, from the Liberal Democrat Conference here in
[00:21:12] Brighton, I personally don't think that Andy Burnham is going to call
[00:21:16] early election, because I don't think he's anything like far enough '
[00:21:20] ahead in the polls, but we shall see, certainly if that happens, so Ed
[00:21:24] Davy has made it clear that the Liberal Democrats uh will
[00:21:28] be ready, they've got their best ever number of MPs, currently got
[00:21:31] 71, biggest number of council seats, but you don't
[00:21:35] hear perhaps as much about them as uh they
[00:21:39] might like, so let us talk now to James
[00:21:43] McCleary who is the liberal democrat MP for Lewis
[00:21:46] and the defense spokesman. James, thank you very much for talking. to us on
[00:21:50] GB News, one of your own MPs made
[00:21:54] the comment that the lib dems risk quite sleep
[00:21:58] walking into irrelevance, you're
[00:22:02] not really getting the cut through that a party of your size should
[00:22:05] get, are you? no, we're not, and that's what part of this conference is about, it's about
[00:22:09] talking about the things we've been saying, we've got some great policies, we passed an international
[00:22:13] security paper yesterday, or treasury spokes person up on stage talking about
[00:22:17] how we need to stimulate growth in the economy, and it's part of our... is
[00:22:21] to energize that conversation, say how are we going to cut through and get that message
[00:22:24] across
[00:22:25] to the public buse, i think when they hear it, i think they'll really
[00:22:28] like it, and but that is the challenge we have, and so far, i think it's fair to say that we've punched slightly
[00:22:32] below our weight, and that's what we're quite excited about at this conference, and dave and the whole
[00:22:35] team, we're all talking about, how can we get that message across more clearly? you're
[00:22:39] talking about demands for a 12p cut
[00:22:43] on fuel duty and slashing uh the bus cap
[00:22:47] to a pound, um... "are
[00:22:50] the public hearing those messages though, because so often what we see
[00:22:54] is um sir Ed Davy or some sort of
[00:22:57] stunt, is he being a bit more dignified, has there been
[00:23:01] a slight change of tactic, rather more serious ed Davy
[00:23:05] at this conference, I think the the sort of stunts were about the general election and it was about trying
[00:23:09] to get cut through and people paying attention, it's not unusual for political leaders
[00:23:13] to do to do stunts, I mean we see that from all the main leaders, so but at this conference
[00:23:17] yeah we're talking about the serious stuff, we're talking about tax, we're talking about the..." economy, we're talking about
[00:23:21] defense and security, we're talking about Europe, um, and these things just need to be put across in the
[00:23:24] serious way. Ed is very serious person, he's former secretary of state, you know, he's got great
[00:23:28] experience,
[00:23:29] I think that's really starting to come across in the way he's talking about the things you just outlined,
[00:23:33] we do need to help people who are struggling day-to-day, you there are families in my
[00:23:36] constituency who are struggling to fill the car with petrol to take the kids to school, and
[00:23:40] that's what this is about, it's trying to make that more cable, trying to give some people from things that
[00:23:44] they can actually use in their real lives and saying to them, liberal democrats are on your side and
[00:23:48] we're going to fight for you.
[00:23:50] and just very quickly, you are defense spokes person, uh, do you
[00:23:54] want to get to that 3% on defense that John Healey
[00:23:58] seemed to be a hill he would die on, and now his channel seems to be dragging his heels,
[00:24:01] yeah, that's this one, yes we absolutely do, and that's why we propose defense bonds which would inject 20
[00:24:05] billion over two years into our defense industry to get that urgency that we
[00:24:09] need to get towards 3%. yes, very worrying uh noises coming out
[00:24:13] about the European countries and indeed Russia at the moment, well James McCleary, thank you
[00:24:17] very much indeed for talking to us uh this afternoon. on GB News, back to you in the studio,

[00:28:02] 27 minutes after 3 o'clock, this is GB News, Britain's number one
[00:28:06] news channel, I'm Nana Aquier, we're live on TV online and on digital
[00:28:10] radio, and it's time now for the Great British debate this hour, and I'm asking,
[00:28:14] do you want early election? could Britain be heading back
[00:28:18] to the polls sooner than expected, despite previously ruling out early
[00:28:22] general election, speculation is growing that Andy Burnham could seek
[00:28:25] his own mandate as prime minister, particularly if difficult decisions
[00:28:29] on tax and spending lie ahead. so for the Great British
[00:28:33] debates I'm asking do you want early general election? well joining me now
[00:28:37] broadcaster and journalist Danny Kelly and leader the climate party Ed
[00:28:41] Gemel. Danny Kelly, I'll start with you. Do I personally want early
[00:28:45] general election? I wouldn't, I wouldn't believe what Andy Burnham said, so when he's ruled it
[00:28:49] out, I wouldn't believe that. um, he's in the last couple of weeks they've moved ever
[00:28:53] increasingly to the left to try and steal the votes from the greens. Ed
[00:28:56] Milliband has used the word genocide in context, in
[00:29:00] parliament. Now of course that is going to be weapon.
[00:29:03] that that word
[00:29:04] with without any humor intended, that is going to be weaponized by critics of Israel,
[00:29:07] because that now they will say that the british government didn't used the word ethnic
[00:29:11] cleansing, even even strong
[00:29:13] cleansing
[00:29:18] will soon forget the context and all they'll do is just say the labor government, the
[00:29:22] british administration have accepted that that the israelis are committing ethnic
[00:29:26] cleansing, let's go with that, even though it was in context, that context will
[00:29:30] be forgotten, it's already been forgotten in what context? context is is that they were committing
[00:29:33] ethnic cleansing against the settlers, the settlers, so thousands of
[00:29:37] settlers rather than when you say contacts you don't mean that you agree with
[00:29:41] him, no, but but critics of Israel will now say that even
[00:29:45] the British administration have said Israel are committing ethnic cleansing,
[00:29:49] okay, in the context of Gaza, even though was very was very
[00:29:53] separate and distinct,
[00:29:53] I don't think he ever called it a genocide, no it was ethnic cleansing, I remember that bause I played that clip in
[00:29:57] my uh last week, okay, ethnic, okay, genocide and ethnic clenting
[00:30:01] probably. no, well let's use the specific word that you used then
[00:30:05] so that you can't say I didn't say genocide, I think, okay, all right, said ethnic
[00:30:08] cleansing, all right, okay, my point is is that he's moving further and
[00:30:12] further to try and get votes from the green party, okay, because the green
[00:30:16] party are no longer the party worried about the what's your point, danny,
[00:30:19] I hate to ask, we get to it quickly, my point is
[00:30:23] that in the last couple of weeks he's demonstrated to me that he is
[00:30:27] laying the foundations for early election because he
[00:30:30] wants to remove the votes from greens and that's my point.
[00:30:34] okay, all right, well interesting, what do you think? uh, would i want early election?
[00:30:38] yes, i'd like to get on the stage and start talking about british economic revival and the clean
[00:30:42] industrial revolution go for
[00:30:43] it, are you? oh, we definitely, we would have, i mean, we had 13 candidates in the last election,
[00:30:47] i'd h we have 50 or 60 in this one, so
[00:30:49] you know, mean, and if we could get if we had, if it ends up being longer out and we get
[00:30:53] funding, we'll try and put hundreds out, but mean if it was a snap election, i would expect us have 25
[00:30:57] to 30 candidates this time around, um, i think looking at in the
[00:31:01] question sort of targeting. should he think about doing it etc.
[00:31:05] um, does he want his own mandate or not? okay, that's an important part of it. i
[00:31:09] think the other thing is looking at the polling and sort of reported polling, and there are various
[00:31:12] polls and things, but roughly speaking, he's... leading as the most popular
[00:31:16] leader out of all the the sort of five main parties, labor is ahead
[00:31:20] the of reform at the moment in terms of party voting intention as well at
[00:31:24] about 27 28% the vote, which is just about enough to get
[00:31:28] you in with sort of 350 400 uh members of parliament,
[00:31:32] um, I think Danny's right that the the sort of division between
[00:31:36] labor and some
[00:31:36] the others on the left is the very important factor for him, and at the
[00:31:40] moment the greens do appear to be descending, um, popularity is going down for
[00:31:44] them at. for various different reasons and that sort of thing, so it it might be a mainment, the burn and
[00:31:48] bounce is happening and stayed up, so he's sort there. now the next but
[00:31:52] is look at the right, conservatives have have seemed to have
[00:31:55] rallied a small way over the last week or two, um, at the
[00:31:59] same time as reform has shrunk a little bit, there's also the threat on
[00:32:03] the on the right from restore, so so in the political environment, that's nothing about
[00:32:07] what's good for the country, but in the political environment, I would be him,
[00:32:11] I'd be watching it very carefully, I'd be looking at every single week to decide whether or not we might get...
[00:32:15] i'd be ramping up, i'd be getting the machinery ready, i would be ready for what machines
[00:32:18] are those, well
[00:32:20] the party machinery behind it, and and mean the in terms of the labour
[00:32:24] party, i have to say when you're election machine, wind it up,
[00:32:28] well but it is, it's it's about it's about starting to get all
[00:32:30] of your council is ready, starting get all the supporters that have been out there, starting get everyone ready
[00:32:34] to go, i was just teasing you, that's fine, and within within the party in
[00:32:38] government, this is a massive advantage because you have now three years when the rest of us don't
[00:32:42] know when it's coming, so you can plan when it's coming, 'and you could
[00:32:45] plan nine
[00:32:46] months in advance and have a real ramp up and then he spring it on the rest
[00:32:49] of us
[00:32:49] a couple of months beforehand, so there is a big advantage that i think that's kind of like
[00:32:53] a richy sunck, although even his party didn't know, but don't forget Bernam's
[00:32:56] been given this tremendous ammunition because conservatives won't do deal with reform,
[00:33:00] reformers said they don't want to do deal with restore, this is m, well
[00:33:04] look, if you are a right winger at the moment it's incredibly
[00:33:08] frustrating because you can see that there's an open goal, there's an opportunity of an
[00:33:11] open goal to actually beat the left wingers and that's only'. if you actually can
[00:33:15] form a if you like a right-wing coal coalition before the election, but but
[00:33:19] wouldn't you fool the left-wingers in thinking that you're all distorted and
[00:33:23] separated so that they then go for the election, then you come in together. if you if you
[00:33:27] told deal, yes, if you told Andy Burnham, hey, listen, if you have the election, all the
[00:33:31] right wingers are going to join together, he'd be like, I'm not going to have the election, if he thinks that
[00:33:35] everybody is saying, oh wait, we definitely won't do this, we definitely won't do that, then the moment he does it,
[00:33:39] they all spring into action, uh, that's the tactic I'd be playing, I wouldn't be telling him
[00:33:42] everything, I have to, you never thought of that, did you? well i have to say only because it's not
[00:33:46] plausible, that's why haven't thought, i think
[00:33:49] the i think the leaks in parties are even worse than the leaks in government and it would be out within minutes, i would
[00:33:52] i think you're wrong, i think people hopefully are wiser than that and uh this is all a
[00:33:56] game to them rather it's our lives here where we're having to pay for
[00:34:00] it, but still to come on gp news, i'm going to take on those demanding
[00:34:03] reparations over slavery, it's time to put our foot down and tell countries like barbados to
[00:34:07] clear off, let's grow a backbone for goodness sake and remind them what the united
[00:34:11] kingdom has contributed to the world, but the next in the great. debates, I'm
[00:34:15] asking, has net zero become ridiculous, only just become
[00:34:19] first, your latest news headlines with Sophia
[00:34:21] Wentsler.

[00:38:58] Welcome back to GB News, I'm Nana Aquare. All right, so we've
[00:39:02] got loads of stuff to come and it's now time for the great British debate this hour.
[00:39:06] I'm asking, is John Healey right to introduce a mansion
[00:39:10] tax? Labor's mansion tax hasn't
[00:39:14] even arrived yet, but Chancer John Healey is reportedly
[00:39:17] considering widening it. The threshold could fall from 2 million to
[00:39:21] 1.5 million, potentially bringing around 270,00 homes
[00:39:25] into the net and raising. of millions more for the
[00:39:28] treasury, so for the great bridge debate, asking is John Healey right to introduce a mentioned
[00:39:32] tax, we're joining me now, broadcaster and journalist Danny Kelly, and leader the
[00:39:36] climate party, Ed Gammer, Ed Gamel, um, I think
[00:39:40] probably yes, but I think it's a pretty minor thing to be doing, I
[00:39:42] mean it's only, it's only 1% of our homes in the country will be caught within
[00:39:46] it, and the amount of money that's going to be raised is between 1.5 billion
[00:39:50] and two billion, I mean it's pretty miniscule in the in the scale of economy
[00:39:54] that's up at sort of three trillion, so although... 'I sort of think it's the right
[00:39:58] thing, I think it's such a minor thing. I also, I mean, from the point of view the
[00:40:02] politics of it, I suppose I don't think it's a problem for
[00:40:04] them because so few people are going to be affected by it, I don't think it will affect them at the polls.
[00:40:08] Well, 1.5 million, so he's planning, it was was going to be two
[00:40:12] million, yeah, and we have rumors that it will be reduced and brought down to
[00:40:15] 1.5 million, yeah, there are many properties in London, 25% the
[00:40:19] properties would be um within that price
[00:40:23] range, and they're not necessarily big homes,
[00:40:25] you know, the same house you could get say up'. manchester, number
[00:40:28] tons for like a third the price, so the problem is it's almost
[00:40:32] a north south divide tax, and surprisingly enough the
[00:40:36] south pay. well, and also if they're looking at where their voters are and that sort of thing, it's not going to
[00:40:40] affect very many of the labor voters. mean, from their point politically, it's
[00:40:44] something that they can bring in because it doesn't affect their voting thing. from my point of view, as
[00:40:48] would I be doing it? no, because tax for me is a tool
[00:40:51] to achieve your industrial or economic plan, and if you don't have a proper industrial and
[00:40:55] economic plan, then it's pretty stupid. saying, I'm just doing this to shave off
[00:40:59] tiny percentage of our debt or whatever it be, or to add tiny amount into the pot
[00:41:03] for government spending, so what's the plan? you know, Andy,
[00:41:07] um, what is the plan, where are we going, and then tell us how you're going to get us there,
[00:41:11] of which tax rises or tax drops or whatever it might be, could be
[00:41:15] part the mix, then I would understand it, for me, it's a relatively minor
[00:41:19] thing, I know it isn't if you're caught into the bracket, obviously it's not, but it's a relatively
[00:41:23] minor thing in terms the money it makes and and from labor's point of view though, it
[00:41:27] has... political effect on their voters, well won't it suppress the housing market for starters
[00:41:31] so people will deliberately undervalue their homes and
[00:41:35] people will start doing that so the money they think they're going to get from the properties that now the
[00:41:39] and also it's unstable. able way because the pricing of
[00:41:42] house can change, yeah, yeah, exactly, who values it? it's just yet
[00:41:46] another nasty side of socialism where just going with edge point
[00:41:50] that is more symbolic, it's a little bit reminds a little bit if it's going to bring in
[00:41:54] hardly anything metaphorically and proportionally, reminds me
[00:41:58] the 20% VAT on schools and private schools, it's just it's
[00:42:01] just the proletariot against the bourgeois, if you're the bourjois we're coming
[00:42:05] after you and it's just nasty side, and let's not forget right, i come from the midlands i've
[00:42:09] driven
[00:42:09] 1.5
[00:42:14] million pound house, but I dare say there are people living in 1.5 million pound houses in
[00:42:18] London who haven't got two pennies to rub together because all the dough is in the
[00:42:21] house and he wants two and
[00:42:23] a half thousand pounds a year, I tell you who's or more depending on the price your
[00:42:26] guth. I tell you who's going to benefit from this, the equity release schemes, because the
[00:42:30] socialists when they get really nasty and someone says okay, you live a one and
[00:42:33] a half million pound house and I say, well I ain't got any dough, check the bank account, but I say it doesn't
[00:42:37] matter if you got no dough, release it from your... you've got it in your house, that's how
[00:42:41] nasty
[00:42:42] it is. i just think that it's not wise because it doesn't encourage growth, it
[00:42:46] doesn't encourage people to buy and sell, what it will do is stagnate the housing
[00:42:50] market, which will probably make the house market come down, which will mean that fewer
[00:42:54] houses will be caught in the 1.5 million threshold, which means fewer
[00:42:57] take for them, and none of it, every time they come up with
[00:43:01] something, they never place it an environment that is realistic, it's
[00:43:05] only two and a half grand, so that's how much you may have to pay if your house is worth
[00:43:09] 1.5 still
[00:43:10] quite a bit though, it's not going to suppress the housing market, if it
[00:43:14] was no what I'm saying, you don't understand, it will suppress the housing market
[00:43:18] a manner that people won't want to value their houses above that, so what you do
[00:43:22] is you have lower level, but then people stop buying selling,
[00:43:25] exactly, so yeah, but yes exactly, but what happens
[00:43:29] then is
[00:43:30] then in stamp duty, you reduce the tax take on stamp duty, you reduce so many things
[00:43:34] because people start to get annoyed, an extra two and a half grand top of your council tax and
[00:43:37] everything else like that, that could put me off by house that's near 1.5
[00:43:41] million, so the person at 1.5 million will have to lower their house price in order for me
[00:43:45] to buy it, well I mean, although if they low the house price to some extent you could
[00:43:49] argue then that then more houses get sold, well it depends where they are in terms of equity for the
[00:43:53] property, if you're a negative equity for the property, you're not going to sell it, if you when you sell
[00:43:57] it you're not going
[00:43:57] to get your money back, you're going to have to sit on that property until such times where it maybe
[00:44:01] elevates, but I'm just saying that they don't think the unintenant consequences, I
[00:44:04] mean i do sort of wonder as I was watching this if that if they do do that
[00:44:08] why they wouldn't then drop it to because in actual fact the percentages in terms
[00:44:12] of people in these brackets and then thinking of labor voters is you
[00:44:16] only add less than another one% if you drop it down to million because
[00:44:20] the vast over 80% of us are under half million in terms the value of our house
[00:44:24] houses and then a big chunk roughly 15 17 18% is between
[00:44:28] half million a million so this could be a precursor to dropping it
[00:44:32] down to million well he's trying to win back northern votes who are going to reform he's
[00:44:36] trying to win back people who are on sitting
[00:44:38] on the fence wondering whether to vote labor to vote reform, if people are
[00:44:41] teacher and they'll think, actually look is going after the millionaires in London, but let's put our
[00:44:45] vote there, I don't think it'll help at all though, depending on where they apply the money, so if
[00:44:49] they do do do this and then they say right, we've got that extra chunk of money and we're applying it
[00:44:53] to x, and then it's something that's popular with their voters, I think it might
[00:44:57] do that, otherwise I don't think they're going to notice, I think people just want some growth in the
[00:45:01] economy and they should do something to stimulate people to buy and sell houses rather than doing
[00:45:05] things that will suppress it, and this is another stupid idea that if
[00:45:09] people change their... behavior, you don't get the money that you expected, just like the
[00:45:13] that on private schools, typical. all right, well stay with us, because if you're in

[00:49:29] All right, let's travel over to the United States and speak to the host the politics people
[00:49:33] podcast, Paul Dudridge and find out what I want there.
[00:49:37] Let's talk about Donald Trump, he's banning fake news outlets
[00:49:40] from the White House. Yeah, I don't how much of this
[00:49:44] story has been covered in the UK, but remember when he very
[00:49:48] first came about in 2015, he talked about fake news, it was the...
[00:49:52] the press was the enemy the people and he's finally kind of
[00:49:56] acting on it and he's banned this week from the white house in the
[00:49:59] white house grounds he's banned ms
[00:50:03] now, cnn and politico
[00:50:06] and everybody's up in arms about it and the media class are saying it's an
[00:50:10] assault on free speech, but forgetting that Biden
[00:50:14] removed the press creditation for 440
[00:50:18] journalists in 2023. Trump has just -
[00:50:22] access for three them, but yeah, there there's a lot of talk about this
[00:50:26] uh breaching the first amendment and we'll see and that'l get tested, because he's not
[00:50:30] stopping anybody reporting, he's just saying I don't want you in my
[00:50:33] house, well I don't blame him after some the things they say
[00:50:37] about him, what about um him threatening to stop trading with the EU, now
[00:50:41] that's quite something for him to say
[00:50:43] that, well
[00:50:46] it is, look again, the EU has decided
[00:50:49] to what do they call it like affiliate nation? with Canada, so he's
[00:50:53] got Canada griping on his northern border, and
[00:50:57] Trump has described them linking up with the EU as hostile
[00:51:01] act, and if they go through with it, he's going to treat the EU as hostile
[00:51:05] nation and cease trading with them all together, and this stuff is
[00:51:08] relevant, because look, Trump is trying to stick up for the American
[00:51:12] people, this is how I see it, he's trying to stick up for the American people, there is a
[00:51:16] 220 billion a year trade deficit, that is
[00:51:20] the US spends 220. a year more in Europe than Europe
[00:51:24] spends in America and yet gets talked about as if
[00:51:28] they uh can be uh taken for granted and he's sick
[00:51:32] the United States being taken for granted just being the world's customer, I think that
[00:51:36] the US is something like the number one export market for like
[00:51:39] 130 nations, don't quote me on that, but it's it's in over 100
[00:51:43] nations main export market, we've exported all
[00:51:47] our jobs so that we can buy product from other countries who
[00:51:50] then start making these little... legeences and turn on the United States and he's just
[00:51:54] like, okay, well if you don't if you don't like us, we won't buy anything from you, that's
[00:51:58] a 220, that's on goods, 220 billion a year trade
[00:52:01] deficit, see I don't know why they act as though there's surprised, I
[00:52:05] mean if you're not nice about people, they might not want to work with you, but didn't they try and
[00:52:09] impeach Trump this
[00:52:10] week?
[00:52:14] so this week, it's like the first,
[00:52:18] the first cooko of spring, we are getting, they actually filed
[00:52:22] articles of impeachment, there was a vote etc. even the democrats didn't show up for it, there's
[00:52:26] this guy representative al green, he's called and we've seen him sort
[00:52:30] of removed from state the union addresses etc. um, but
[00:52:34] yes, he had to go, "and like I said, this is this is these are stalking
[00:52:37] horses now, you you sort of get them when people are when politicians are
[00:52:41] seen to be weak, and so they're just putting this flag up
[00:52:45] seeing who'll uh who will salute, but yes there was there was an
[00:52:49] impeachment vote this week, so it's already started before the
[00:52:52] mid-terms, this is the first one, there's going to be so much
[00:52:56] impeachment talk after the mid-terms, if Trump doesn't win
[00:52:59] outright, he's going to be impeached, he will be
[00:53:03] convicted, he will be convicted." yeah, that that doesn't make any difference, does
[00:53:07] it, so what? no, exactly, look, they
[00:53:10] need, they need two-thirds the senate to be able to convict
[00:53:14] and remove him, so even if he loses the senate, he's not going to lose it by
[00:53:18] two-thirds, he's not going to lose, he's not going to have 67 democrat senators
[00:53:22] and that's what's needed to be able to actually remove him from office, no, this is
[00:53:25] pantomime, this is theater, and and now let's go to his deal
[00:53:29] with greenland, was people were saying, oh my god, everybody
[00:53:33] wins, well done, donald, everybody wins, the best kind of
[00:53:35] deal. oh yeah, they just can't, they just can't give him anything though, can
[00:53:39] they? mean, he has, he's done exactly what he says in things like the art the
[00:53:43] deal, he goes in with ridiculous kind of, yeah, we're going to invade and take it over,
[00:53:47] and eventually gets what he actually wanted, which was absolute control,
[00:53:50] and this is the thing, it's more important, and you got to read between the lines on this
[00:53:54] one, what's more important is not the American control of Greenland, which he's
[00:53:58] got,
[00:53:59] it is the, it is the banning of any other country having any
[00:54:02] influence in Greenland without his says. That's what he's
[00:54:06] interested in, he doesn't want to spend money on on Greenland, what he wants to do is make sure
[00:54:10] that nobody can be in the proximity the United States without the United States
[00:54:13] consent, and that's what he's pulled off, and that's the bigger prize in
[00:54:17] this. Yeah, well, listen, Paulid, it's always a pleasure as ever, thank you very
[00:54:21] much, that's Paul Dudridge, host the politics people podcast. Next
[00:54:25] up, in my niggle i discuss reparations,
[00:54:28] Barbados are demanding that Britain pay, and they're using lots
[00:54:32] of legal leaves to try, but isn't it time? that we showed the world what
[00:54:36] Britain has actually done for it rather than allowing people to cont
[00:54:40] continuously try to demand money through what we call slavery,
[00:54:44] but first let's get an update with your

[00:54:58] on GB news. hello there, good afternoon, welcome to
[00:55:02] your GB news weather update from the Met Office. "It should be quite a fine end
[00:55:06] to the day for many of us, though a change coming through tonight in the north where
[00:55:10] we'll eventually see more rain coming through, but under cleararer skies it will be
[00:55:14] turning a bit chillier than of late. For the time being though, high pressure
[00:55:18] continues to build across the southwest, meaning it should be quite a fine end to the
[00:55:22] day, plenty of clear skies, so eventually across the north we'll start to see more
[00:55:25] cloud push through towards the northwest, and eventually through the early hours the
[00:55:29] morning we'll see rain progress through here, eventually into northern Island, parts
[00:55:33] of Scotland and North..." west England to the south of this though, plenty of
[00:55:37] clear skies, so turning a bit chillier here, rural areas under the clearer
[00:55:41] skies could drop down to around 2 to 4 degrees celsius, so quite a chilly
[00:55:45] start by the time we reach Monday morning for some, but
[00:55:48] it is eventually going to start to turn a bit warmer, a bit muggier, particularly across the
[00:55:52] north where we'll see some clouds, some rain, this could turn quite persistent across the
[00:55:56] hills of Scotland, also quite cloudy and damps start across Northern
[00:56:00] Ireland, northern England we'll see some patchy cloud and possibly some
[00:56:04] light outbricks or... towards the far northwest, elsewhere across England and
[00:56:08] Wales though, it should be quite a bright start the day, a little bit chilly, some patchy
[00:56:12] fog in places, though this should soon clear through the course the morning, and remaining
[00:56:16] quite dry and settled here with some sunshine, towards the north though, different
[00:56:19] story, remaining quite cloudy with some rain and drizzle, this quite
[00:56:23] persistent around western hills through the course the day,
[00:56:27] much lighter winds and feeling warm in the sunshine once again, but return of that
[00:56:30] muggy feel, temperatures pushing into the mid-20s for many areas, including
[00:56:35] eastern areas of Scotland where they might start
[00:56:36] to see some breaks in the cloud later on into the day.
[00:56:40] now through Monday night, there's not much change, there's still this north south split
[00:56:44] in the weather, so plenty of cloud towards the north, some rain and drizzle, but some
[00:56:48] clearer skies towards the south. we'll still see plenty of fine weather
[00:56:52] into next week, though some rain and showers across the north at times and temperatures
[00:56:55] eventually returning to more average for this point the
[00:56:58] year. expect warm

[00:59:47] and though the roads around us changed from the city's curving streets to

[01:00:07] ahead, day's motor group, the roads were different, our
[01:00:10] promise was the
[01:00:11] same.
[01:00:19] Hello, good afternoon and welcome to GB News, Britain's number one news channel, we're
[01:00:22] live on TV online and on digital radio, it's four
[01:00:26] o'clock, I'm Nana Aqueer and for the next few hours me and my
[01:00:29] panel will be taking on some the big topics hitting the headlines right
[01:00:33] now, this show is all about opinion, it's mine, it's theirs
[01:00:37] and of course it's yours, we'll be debating, discussing and at times we will
[01:00:41] disagree, but no one will be cancelled, so joining
[01:00:45] me for the next few hours broadcast. journalist Danny
[01:00:48] Kelly and leader the climate party Ed
[01:00:52] Gammel. Coming up in my nigggle. If
[01:00:56] countries are demanding historic reparations running into
[01:01:00] trillions from us, these are countries we've given over 6
[01:01:03] billion pounds with aid to. These are countries from whom we've taken nearly 4 million
[01:01:07] migrants, all of it
[01:01:08] in the last two decades. No more fresh visas until they drop
[01:01:12] these demands. It couldn't be clearer. I take on those
[01:01:16] demanding reparation. over slavery, it's time to put our foot down like tell
[01:01:20] countries like Barbados to clear off. Let's finally grow a backbone and remind the
[01:01:24] world of all the great things that Britain has contributed. Also coming up in the Great
[01:01:28] British debate, I'm asking, do you want early election? Well, that's what Andy
[01:01:32] Burney is reportedly plotting and said that he has a mandate to raise taxes,
[01:01:36] but the minister for women and equalities Britith Philipson says that labor need
[01:01:40] longer to deliver their promises. We were only elected
[01:01:43] in July 2024 and that was for five-year term, and there's a lot of work.
[01:01:47] that we
[01:01:48] need to do and I'm focused on how between now and
[01:01:50] the next election we de yes, shadow
[01:01:54] chief secretary the treasury Richard Fuller says
[01:01:57] that the government is in denial over their fiscal
[01:01:59] situation, they have produced their
[01:02:02] forecasts and then they've run out of money and then they've run to the tax
[01:02:06] payer for more money, so accountability runs both
[01:02:09] ways, so in the great british debate I'm asking, do you really want
[01:02:13] early election? That is the question on my poll, my poll is live to...
[01:02:17] bbnews.com to cast yours, then in the next great bridge
[01:02:21] debate, i'm asking, has net zero become ridiculous?
[01:02:25] the answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the
[01:02:28] answer is: blowing in the
[01:02:31] wind, a prison indoor said is reportedly spending
[01:02:34] hundreds of thousands of pounds a net zero friendly boiler to keep
[01:02:38] sex offenders warm during woodwork classes, so in the Great British debate I'm
[01:02:42] asking as Netsira become ridiculous and it's the second day the LibDM
[01:02:46] conference as Dave says his party is firewall against Nigel
[01:02:50] Farage and Reform UK. Will they
[01:02:53] here, we care
[01:02:56] we fight, we care we fight.
[01:03:01] and I'm joined in the interview by Hartfordcher Reform Counselor Simon
[01:03:04] Roads who is leading the charge in objecting to plans to create a county of
[01:03:08] sanctuary for refugees. Is it a welcoming
[01:03:11] initiative or a virtue signaling gesture that they haven't asked their
[01:03:15] constituents for? But before we get started let's get your latest news with Sophia
[01:03:19] Wendsler.
[01:03:26] Nana, thank you and good afternoon. It's just gone four o'clock. Your top stories.
[01:03:30] dour. El Spencer says there are similarities between how both
[01:03:33] his sister, princess Diana, and the duke and Dutches of Sussex have been
[01:03:37] treated by the media. Harry and Megan, who recently returned
[01:03:41] to the UK from California six years after stepping back
[01:03:45] from royal duties have been repeatedly critical the press.
[01:03:49] Speaking to the BBC, he said daily criticism from the press must be
[01:03:53] cancerous influence on their lives. It would be really
[01:03:56] beholding on people to learn from Diana's example and not here to
[01:04:00] speak for Harry and Megan, but for anyone who's being destroyed
[01:04:04] in this way daily, it must be such a cancious
[01:04:08] influence in their life. one the problems with Diana was, she's very, very
[01:04:12] sensitive to criticism, and of course i'm sure most
[01:04:16] of your viewers now think, oh
[01:04:17] she had this splendid life and it was all amazing and she didn't, she was so privileged
[01:04:21] and so perfect in so many ways, but she was really brought low
[01:04:25] by all that criticism, and yeah, I suppose it's a pity when I
[01:04:28] see... echos of that now. Andy
[01:04:32] Burnham has spoken with his Danish counterpart about the New Greenland
[01:04:36] agreement and welcomed the US commitment to the region, highlighting the
[01:04:40] strategic and shared importance the high north for Euro-atlantic
[01:04:43] security. The new trilateral agreement grants Washington
[01:04:47] permanent security control the semi-autonomous Danish territory
[01:04:51] in the Arctic, which resolves diplomatic dispute sparked by President
[01:04:55] Donald Trump's threat to seize it by force. Downing Street said the
[01:04:59] Prime Minister. congratulated Prime Minister Friedersen and the
[01:05:02] Kingdom of Denmark on negotiating deal benefiting the US,
[01:05:06] Greenland and Denmark and said he would pass on his
[01:05:09] congratulations to President Trump. Ed
[01:05:13] Shirren has apologized to fans for making mistakes as he opened a
[01:05:17] solo show in Philadelphia. All the Singers support acts,
[01:05:21] including his band, have quit the current loop tour, after the US
[01:05:25] rapper Mclamore
[01:05:26] was dropped for making pro-palestine comments. Shiran said
[01:05:30] that decision was taken by promoters, not him, but said he was
[01:05:34] sorry for his handling the controversy that followed.
[01:05:38] I don't want to disappoint fans and I've never wanted to be an activist
[01:05:41] musician, but this has put me in the middle of an important and passionate
[01:05:45] argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue
[01:05:49] on the planet. He described the
[01:05:53] October 7th Hamas led attacks as horrific, but said Israel's
[01:05:57] treatment of residence in Gaza is unjustifiable.
[01:06:01] Sir Ed Dave says he is confident the Liberal Democrats can take on
[01:06:05] Nigel Farage and Zak Palansky at the next election, insisting
[01:06:09] he has the charisma to compete with both. Speaking at the party
[01:06:13] conference in Brighton, he said if the Liberal Democrats were to form the next
[01:06:16] government, they would cut fuel duty and rail and bus
[01:06:20] fairs a cost of around two billion pounds a year. Got to
[01:06:24] help people with the costling, particularly the rise in filling your car up at the
[01:06:28] pumps of petrol and diesel. to Trump's idiotic war with
[01:06:31] Iran, people are paying a fortune just to fill up the car, so we
[01:06:35] think we should have cut in fuel duty tax for the next three
[01:06:39] months to cut the price you pay at the pumps by 12p
[01:06:43] liter, that would really bring help just when it's needed, and it will pay for
[01:06:47] itself cuz the government's getting huge amounts of tax revenue from these higher oil and
[01:06:51] gas prices, they should give it back to people.
[01:06:54] the conservatives are calling on labor to cut welfare spending in next month's
[01:06:58] budget, warning the government must confront what they describe as
[01:07:01] Britain's economic peril. The row comes as inflation
[01:07:05] reaches five-month high of 3.1% with the chancellor
[01:07:09] John Healey due to deliver the budget at the end of October, but Bridget
[01:07:13] Philipson insists benefits support young people into work and lift
[01:07:17] children out of poverty. Some the hardest working people I
[01:07:21] know are people that are in law-paid jobs. They work incredibly hard, they do the
[01:07:25] right thing, they don't earn huge amounts of money and they deserve support too and to
[01:07:29] that point about child. poverty, one the biggest indicators is to
[01:07:32] whether you will go to live a good life where you can contribute as whether you grow up in
[01:07:36] poverty, therefore tackling child poverty, lifting children out of poverty is
[01:07:40] absolutely the right thing to do. You're up to

[01:08:06] Good afternoon, welcome on board. This is GB News, it's fast approaching eight
[01:08:10] minutes after 4 o'clock. I'm... a queer, we're live on
[01:08:13] TV, online and on digital radio.
[01:08:17] Why are we here again?
[01:08:20] Reparations? Caribbean states are preparing to sue
[01:08:24] Britain under international racial discrimination laws
[01:08:28] to secure slavery reparations. May Motley,
[01:08:32] the current prime minister of Barbados, has suggested legal action through
[01:08:36] the international courts using the UN international convention on
[01:08:40] the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination. a
[01:08:43] convention that we are signed up to, and she's hosting
[01:08:47] a conference this week to discuss it and told supporters that
[01:08:50] it was time to stop being advocates a movement and start being
[01:08:54] advocates a case, so here we go
[01:08:57] again, those calling for reparations surely must
[01:09:01] realize how ridiculous this all is, so you've got to ask
[01:09:05] yourself why are they calling for them repeatedly? when
[01:09:09] why are they calling for them now? because Britain looks... weak
[01:09:12] frankly and they'd be right, and because Britain is now looking
[01:09:16] pathetic on the world stage, imagine the rest the world
[01:09:19] watching when the Brexit vote was announced, and they thought, as we all
[01:09:23] did, that now the people of Great Britain can take back control of our great
[01:09:27] nation, but what did they see, this?
[01:09:31] my mother is 84 and she
[01:09:34] wept on Friday, just like my
[01:09:38] 24 and 25 year old daughters shed tears.
[01:09:42] because we made terrible mistake on
[01:09:45] Friday by voting to leave the European
[01:09:49] Union, then utter
[01:09:52] chaos, as our government, politicians of all stripes did their
[01:09:56] best to reverse it, they stuck two fingers up at democracy, the
[01:09:59] country was in paralysis and frankly nothing got done, and
[01:10:03] all those commonwealth nations that Britain is the head of who initially
[01:10:07] saw us as a great power, now observing Great
[01:10:11] Britain is... itself from the inside out and running away from
[01:10:15] governing itself, frankly
[01:10:17] it was embarrassing, and in the midst of it all this
[01:10:21] started happening. behind me uh, you can
[01:10:24] see a white dingy, there are 45 people
[01:10:28] on board, behind it you can see an escort
[01:10:31] vessel uh, because that's what the French do, despite the 500 million
[01:10:35] quid we've given them, they literally once these boats are afloat, escort
[01:10:39] them to our 12 mile where they hand them over. to border force, that of
[01:10:43] itself, I think is outrageous, but the significance of this
[01:10:47] boat is that this number on this
[01:10:50] vessel take it beyond 50,000 that have come
[01:10:54] since Rishi Sunak has been prime minister,
[01:10:58] the boats, and instead of doing what any sensible independent
[01:11:02] nation would do, we pathetically accommodated everyone,
[01:11:06] even to our detriment under human rights legislation, we've lost
[01:11:10] control of our borders and we're buckling at the... seems the situation is
[01:11:13] so bad that illegal migrants are about to outnumber areas of this
[01:11:17] country, the news of pittington was even big in
[01:11:20] Japan, and in between all of that we've had
[01:11:24] seven prime ministers in 10 years, five of those in the last
[01:11:27] five, Boris Johnson who took over from Theresa May, then it
[01:11:31] was Liz Truss, she lasted as long as lettice or
[01:11:35] even less, then it was Rishi
[01:11:37] Sunak, after him Kiss
[01:11:41] Starmer and two... years later, Andy
[01:11:44] Burnham, and we are currently trying to give
[01:11:48] away sovereign territory to the Marious, the Chagos
[01:11:51] Islands, only so that we can rent them back, as result, we've got
[01:11:55] the Argentinians on our heels demanding the Falklands, and a while ago there was
[01:11:59] talk of Gibralta, we have
[01:12:03] literally nothing when it comes to our military, our ministers are
[01:12:06] clueless, how many frigots do we have in the
[01:12:09] fleet? have we
[01:12:13] have we have we
[01:12:15] have
[01:12:19] John Healey our ex-defense secretary who resigned apparently because he
[01:12:23] couldn't get the budget to protect the UK and now as chancellor
[01:12:27] doesn't want to get the budget to protect the UK and our new
[01:12:30] defense secretary was treating well where the hell is he? we're facing serious
[01:12:34] threats from Russia and he's gone uncharacteristically very very
[01:12:38] quiet and these two haven't helped.
[01:12:43] Harry and Megan who have been in my view set out to destroy the
[01:12:47] monarchy, the cohesion strength and soft power that the monarchy gives to this
[01:12:51] country throughout the commonwealth and indeed throughout the rest the world, huge symbol.
[01:12:55] stability being chipped away and eroded, peace by peace,
[01:12:59] damaging its reputation. across the commonwealth, there's no
[01:13:03] way that we can move forward unless we acknowledged the
[01:13:06] past, and I think so many people have have done such an amazing,
[01:13:10] incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to write those wrongs,
[01:13:14] but I think we all acknowledge on here, there is so much more still to do. It's
[01:13:18] not going to be easy, and in some cases it's not going to be comfortable, but it needs to be
[01:13:21] done, because guess what, everybody benefits.
[01:13:25] "and they allowed our queen to die to go to her grave with the allegation of racism
[01:13:29] swirling only to blame the press and for Harry to then claim that there was no
[01:13:33] racism, so here we go again, so because Britain is basically
[01:13:37] soft touch and we are signed up to the UN international convention on the elimination of
[01:13:41] all forms of racial discrimination, a UN member state could sue
[01:13:44] Britain on the grounds that it has breached this treaty. I
[01:13:48] wonder why nobody goes after China who is also signatory to the
[01:13:52] convention or Russia or India." also members
[01:13:55] of or any the other 82, 182
[01:13:59] nations that have rejoined, like Brazil and
[01:14:02] Portugal, Portugal who launched the Atlantic slave
[01:14:06] trade in the 1440s until it was abolished by guess who, the
[01:14:10] British in 1807 driven by William
[01:14:12] Wilberforce. The only reason we are being attacked from
[01:14:16] all sides is because we look weak. I'm fed up of it
[01:14:20] all, all these international treaties and human rights laws we've signed ourselves
[01:14:23] to destroying. country when the truth is Britain has given so
[01:14:27] much innovation to the world like the telephone, the jet engine, penicilin,
[01:14:31] vaccination, and the worldwide web, what have
[01:14:35] Barbados given us, the first ever search engine, although
[01:14:39] we created the web, and rum, frankly, we should
[01:14:42] actually be being given money for all the harm and suffering that we've
[01:14:46] prevented,
[01:14:54] sorry, it was a bit of ramb but couldn't help myself 14 minutes after 4our o'clock here
[01:14:57] with me, i'm nanna quid, this is GB News coming up in the Great British debate,
[01:15:01] I'm asking is labor taking the threat of Russia seriously enough, can be
[01:15:05] banock has accused Andy Burnham of fiddling while Europe is at
[01:15:09] risk of burning as Russia is intensifies its hybrid war against the
[01:15:13] west, then in the next great British debate at this hour, I'm asking has net zero
[01:15:17] become ridiculous, uh prison indoors it is reportedly spending hundreds
[01:15:21] of thousands of pounds a net zero friendly boiler to keep.
[01:15:25] sex offenders warm during woodwork classes and i'll be joined by the founder
[01:15:29] the charity autoimmune support and awareness foundation asal
[01:15:32] sharazi to hear more on why she thinks that these illnesses are so
[01:15:36] poor poorly understood? well that is all coming up as ever,
[01:15:40] send me your thoughts post your comments, gbnews.com/yoursay
[01:15:43] or scan that QR
[01:15:45] code.
[01:15:52] i'm joined now by the editor the Pakistan Playbook Dan
[01:15:55] Kayam. Uh, Dan. So, am I wrong
[01:15:59] in suggesting that actually on balance
[01:16:03] Britain has brought so much to the world, and frankly, we did
[01:16:06] end the slave trade, which was started by the Portuguese by the
[01:16:10] way, and nobody's really talking about them. Why on earth have Britain
[01:16:14] been literally lambasted for
[01:16:16] reparations? I look,
[01:16:19] I would you're saying right, Britain takes the credit for abolishing slavy obviously, but I think
[01:16:23] what, what Britain... should do is
[01:16:25] i don't want i'm not in agreeing in agreement with britain paying lump sum as is
[01:16:29] being demanded or said by certain sections, i think britain should be at the
[01:16:33] table
[01:16:34] in antiga in november because negotiating is not agreeing right now our entire
[01:16:38] policy is a word no and that's not a strategy because every year britain
[01:16:41] says nothing the the ask will internationalize the african union
[01:16:45] joins in the UN gets involved the number goes up we've been negotiating
[01:16:49] from we could have been negotiating better position two years ago than today
[01:16:52] um and nobody is asking a nurse in Bolton to write a check, if they
[01:16:56] were id with you, but governments aren't individual right, they inherit
[01:17:00] obligations, they inherit assets and obligations together, so
[01:17:04] Britain inherited the borrowing that paid for the 1833
[01:17:07] compensation, and it sat on the national book for generations, and let me just
[01:17:11] point out that actually went to the slave owners
[01:17:13] rather than you, a single person affected, well
[01:17:16] hang on, but but it went to the slave owners, because at the time those businesses were
[01:17:20] legitimate businesses, so Britain closed down those businesses just like for
[01:17:23] example in the pandemic. where money went to businesses that had to be closed down through government
[01:17:27] legislation, so that's why the money went there, but as a as repercussion the
[01:17:31] slaves were free, so by paying those businesses to free the
[01:17:35] slaves, that is where the money went. now surely that's the
[01:17:39] right thing to do and that is what is expected?
[01:17:42] absolutely, look what there, you're right in that, but what i what i'm just trying
[01:17:46] about is basically you know given to the slaver lots of property again right,
[01:17:50] which is not a single penny that had been and you these people
[01:17:53] then years. slaves were free, but after you they worked another
[01:17:57] five years until 1838 and after that they were free, but again a lot of
[01:18:01] this is going back to stuff that happened 200 years ago,
[01:18:04] exactly, what we need to do is
[01:18:06] this is this is what i see
[01:18:07] as as diplomatic um more like foreign policy thing we're talking about
[01:18:11] commonwealth which is 56 nations we're talking about the Caribbean
[01:18:14] um these
[01:18:15] are countries that
[01:18:16] you know China for example is paying billions to be in those rooms you the
[01:18:20] UK has had that room for for decades for years
[01:18:23] for for over a century and purely because there this diplomatic
[01:18:27] value to it I think Britain should sit you know in that in that meeting I should I think
[01:18:31] Britain should negotiate but it could be in the form of you dep cancellations you
[01:18:34] know support for healthcare for example or technology. or other things, but it cannot
[01:18:38] be lumpsum, because I don't think there is, there's nobody alive who owes
[01:18:42] anything uh to anyone from from that time, so I
[01:18:46] think while that is there, I think Britain should still negotiate, I think Britain should sind out on the
[01:18:49] table and have you have a conversation, I think this is
[01:18:52] what, well okay, um, I mean I've just done a little bit
[01:18:56] of research, I mean penicillin invented by the Brits
[01:19:00] 1928, if I've got my uh figures correctly,
[01:19:03] yeah, by Alexander Fleming uh, when he noticed um...
[01:19:07] how bacteria was being killed in a petrol dish a dish? how
[01:19:11] many lives has that saved?
[01:19:13] what in your take a guess roughly
[01:19:15] how many lives do you think
[01:19:16] that saved? oh probably over 100 million easily, but somewhere between
[01:19:20] 200 to 500 million lives and i'm sure a lot of those people were in barbed some
[01:19:23] of those people or in other those countries they then surely Britain
[01:19:27] should be demanding some sort of some sort of reparation for all
[01:19:31] the line see we could go into like what about the jet engine what about the
[01:19:34] telephone look of all the things famous for? and actually coming up with the first
[01:19:38] ever search engine, but who created the worldwide web?
[01:19:41] britain. point of this is that it's
[01:19:44] ridiculous. it is,
[01:19:47] it is. i completely agree with you, but the thing is it will go on until Britain sits down, has the
[01:19:50] conversation and says, "no, this is what we're not going to do this, this is what we can
[01:19:54] do, why do they have to do anything? all the foreign aids, lot
[01:19:58] of those commonwealth countries have received much aid and to assist with their
[01:20:02] infrastructures so that britain could eventually sort of move away from
[01:20:05] them ultimately, but Britain has..." do so
[01:20:08] much, why should it now be looking back some many
[01:20:12] hundred years later because people are saying oh well because the racism that was
[01:20:15] created because the britain abalished i think
[01:20:18] I think we treat it as a foreign policy thing Britain did 164 billion of trade
[01:20:22] pounds worth of trade with the common wealth countries for example in 2023 right and it's a
[01:20:26] 16 billion pound surplus so it's a network that the UK has almost for
[01:20:30] free and you again what I'm saying is there's others like China for example they've signed deal
[01:20:34] with I think Barbados 100 million for road project which is loan so there's
[01:20:37] there's diplomatic value, there's foreign policy value
[01:20:41] of having these relationships, when these things pop
[01:20:43] up should
[01:20:45] the 100 million be alone to barbados from china, do
[01:20:49] you know what i mean? mean didn't china brought us as lot of people
[01:20:53] see the china brought to covid and all that, we should be looking at reparations from
[01:20:57] them as well,
[01:20:59] you know nobody's talking to portugal, portugal the people who came up with the slave
[01:21:03] trade, why is nobody demand,
[01:21:08] the request yeah, the request that they're making is is, it's not just for the
[01:21:12] UK by
[01:21:12] the way, there's about 10 countries on that, UK is one them, so I think Portugal I'm sure would be
[01:21:16] involved as well, but I think look again, this is all, this this can be, this
[01:21:20] needs to be, they need to sit down and sort it out, this the more it goes in the media, the number keeps going up,
[01:21:24] the rage keeps multiplying, and it's a pointless, it's obviously these
[01:21:28] countries are, the the the very
[01:21:31] climate, the at risk from the climate, they've got issues with
[01:21:35] with you, economic issues and stuff, obviously there will be some sort of opportunism as
[01:21:39] well to try and get you know some support from Britain and again Britain does support in terms of
[01:21:43] aid and stuff, but again what I'm saying is sit down, have that conversation and leave
[01:21:46] that conversation and say, look, we very clear, this is what we can do, this is what we can't do, we're not going
[01:21:50] to touch, we're not going to argue or talk about this, but this is all, this is the extent of what we can do, and that's
[01:21:54] it, leave it at that, keep the relation, I actually think it's ridiculous that
[01:21:58] they, and I'm with the United Kingdom, I wouldn't be sitting down with anybody, they should be able to look with their
[01:22:02] own eyes and see the contribution that this country's made, and I just find it
[01:22:05] ridiculous
[01:22:06] that this conversation of... continues dan thank you very
[01:22:10] much, really good to talk to you, he's the uh editor the
[01:22:13] Pakistan Playbook. All right, 21 minutes after 4 o'clock, I'm

[01:25:54] "good afternoon, 26 minutes after 4our o'clock, if you just tuned
[01:25:57] in, where have you been? you know we start at
[01:26:00] three. okay, okay, the lady at the back she always says that, i forgive you,
[01:26:04] it's fine. all right, this is GV News, it's time now for the Great British
[01:26:08] debate this out, and I'm asking, is labor taking the threat of Russia
[01:26:11] seriously? Russia's threat to Europe is growing, and so is the
[01:26:15] pressure on labor. Kim Vadenock says that the government must get serious
[01:26:19] about defense spend." which is slightly ironic thing as they allow the
[01:26:22] defense uh you know to to deplete in the way they have, but anyway while
[01:26:26] ministers insist that Britain remains firmly committed to NATO and Ukraine
[01:26:30] with the military chief chiefs also sounding the alarm, so is Britain
[01:26:34] doing enough in the Great British debate, I'm asking is labor taking the threat of
[01:26:38] Russia seriously enough? so joining me now, broadcaster and journalist Danny
[01:26:41] Kelly and leader the climate party Ed Gemel, Danny
[01:26:45] Kelly, are we? I'm no fan of um Burnham, but I think he
[01:26:48] is, do yeah, but we'll put it this way, there's no, no, no evidence to
[01:26:52] suggest to me that he's not. now when he went to Ukraine a couple of weeks
[01:26:56] ago, and did you notice he dressed down, almost in support of
[01:27:00] Zelensky, because Zelensky never dresses up for any meetings with any world
[01:27:03] leaders, apart from the time when he was told off for looking slutherly. well, I think there's
[01:27:07] I think there's an element of of showing respect to your surroundings even when he went to meet the
[01:27:11] pope, as if my memory is right, he was dressing down in his
[01:27:15] military fatigues, so Burnham almost show showed some sort of typical lefty
[01:27:18] solidarity. because he knows he gets stick for it, what i didn't like about it at
[01:27:22] the time, but maybe i'm overthinking about it is the fact that Andy Burnon then
[01:27:26] went to say that the UK government has swapped information for drone
[01:27:30] technology in return for certain things from the Ukraine government, now this is
[01:27:34] very open, now that's poked if you like bear
[01:27:38] with a stick, putin being the bear, and that's sort of very
[01:27:41] openly sort of provoked him, and I'm beginning to wonder now whether you're
[01:27:45] changing your mind, no, I'm beginning to wonder whether Putin's a bit of paper tiger now,
[01:27:49] really? 'i after what he's doing to the Ukrainians in in
[01:27:53] expanding the war, well he has already, well he hasn't, that's the
[01:27:57] thing he hasn't, no, I think you, I wouldn't have you, I don't think
[01:28:00] Pay Tiger is the word I would give him, well, well, as far as as far as expansion
[01:28:04] is concerned, military expansion, he started off, he's backed himself into a
[01:28:08] corner, well he may have backed himself into a corner, but I don't,
[01:28:11] I wouldn't call him a paper tiger, I'd say that he's a very predictable
[01:28:15] tiger, and this is how he encroaches, he did exactly the same with the Ukraine, yeah,
[01:28:18] I, I, I mean, I'd worry about Peter that he's gradually losing his mind because of power as
[01:28:22] well and and could potentially becoming much more unpredictable in the future, I don't
[01:28:26] think he's losing his mind, well I don't, I mean you, and and
[01:28:30] lot of leaders when they have power. for so long and all that sort of thing do
[01:28:34] tend to go along some very dark and difficult mean he's lost his mind,
[01:28:38] i think it's exactly what he's doing, i think that the answer the question,
[01:28:42] which actually that leads to me to be more worried about russia than i would be if i thought he was completely logical
[01:28:46] and we could predict exactly what he was doing um is i think we are absolutely not taking it
[01:28:49] seriously enough and i don't just blame labor i blame all the conservatives for five or 10
[01:28:53] years before this threat has become very obvious and we've been having mean in terms
[01:28:57] the new types of warfare and drone warfare we've had Latvia, Romania,
[01:29:01] germany, and incursions everywhere with drones being shot
[01:29:04] down um out in the Baltics, we've got a a Baltic protection thing in
[01:29:08] NATO now trying to protect the cables there because they've had 11 or
[01:29:11] 12 um breakages coming on the cables that are there for
[01:29:15] energy and and intelligence sharing and everything else which is very dangerous as
[01:29:19] well so I think it's extremely serious I think we shouldn't be talking
[01:29:23] about percentages of GDP we should be working out how much cash we need
[01:29:27] to do it and then setting the figure whether it's a I think we're at 65 billion at the
[01:29:31] moment and whether it's 100 billion. 200 billion or 300 billion, we should be working at
[01:29:35] what we need to upgrade, get the right equipment and get the right people there, and
[01:29:38] look, I've lived in the region, you now I speak some Russian, um, I've traveled
[01:29:42] extensively in Russia and in Ukraine and everywhere else, and Russians
[01:29:46] like a strong leader, they like Russian to be seen as strong, and it would
[01:29:50] take nothing for this war to turn into a war with Poland or the Baltics or
[01:29:54] whatever
[01:29:54] it is, and we'd all be drawn in, yeah, by now, just one, on the money for
[01:29:58] second, is Poland is now up at 4.8% of GDP, I
[01:30:02] mean and is really going for it and it is really preparing the
[01:30:06] front line so that it is ready to take on Russia head if it
[01:30:09] starts on their front line but they'll still need the rest of a support in behind Poland won't be doing it
[01:30:13] unilaterally it's all for one and one for all if you attach Poland then obviously all
[01:30:17] 26 or 27 member states get involved now he hasn't
[01:30:21] done that now nan quite correctly mentioned that there's been some incursions
[01:30:25] with drones but there's been no direct military incursion in the sense of
[01:30:29] troops on the ground in Poland or in Latvia there's been no
[01:30:32] bombardment using ballistic missiles like he's used in Ukraine, in
[01:30:36] Poland or other eastern former Soviet block countries, was four years
[01:30:40] into the war and how many million people has he lost? there is without a doubt
[01:30:44] now now that Ukraine is attacking Russian territory directly,
[01:30:48] Moscow I believe with these long-range long distance drones,
[01:30:51] you know I think support is well, now I know the Russians are going to the poles, maybe they've already been to the poles
[01:30:55] and I think Putin's going to win by a landslide, but we all know that's bent, we all know
[01:30:59] that that that's corrupt, yeah, but is has he has he got? the actual
[01:31:03] political resolve and the men behind him to to take someone like Britain
[01:31:06] on, because it's one for all and all for one. I think I think if it becomes
[01:31:10] desperate, I think he will start a war with us, because that will suddenly put the whole the
[01:31:14] nation behind, I mean with us as in NATO, he'll go into the
[01:31:17] Baltic, and I I envisage what he's what he'll be doing is if he feels
[01:31:21] he's waining support in his own country, he really needs support, if he suddenly makes it a
[01:31:25] wider war, they'll all everyone in Russia will come in behind him again and go, yep, we've got to
[01:31:29] win this one, and it'll take another two to three years for that to then win away. isn't
[01:31:32] successful and on the Poland thing, what Poland is doing, they are very,
[01:31:36] very clear that they are getting on with that frontline defense, because they'll be the
[01:31:40] first or the Baltics, if it does happen, they can't do it on their own, so you're
[01:31:44] absolutely right, once once they're in, we're all in, but we'll be coming in behind them, and
[01:31:48] they're ready for those first few weeks of war, that's what they're ramping up,
[01:31:51] well interesting, well I'd say to you that I'm I would take Putin very seriously, and I wouldn't
[01:31:55] be um taking you know thinking that he might not, I think he's been trying
[01:31:59] to test the resolve of NATO uh since this began and I'm
[01:32:03] concerned really to be honest has absolutely no
[01:32:06] defense against it, do you think he could bond the UK? I think that he of course anything's
[01:32:10] possible, you think he's capable of b directly, so forgetting poland just launching a
[01:32:14] missile, yes, I think it comes to launching a missile,
[01:32:18] we we're we're
[01:32:22] lot the first, he hates the UK, he lotes us, they a them do, yeah, well anyway, so what do you think jev news.com/ your
[01:32:26] say I'm nana, still to come in my interview, I'll be joined by hartf to
[01:32:30] reform counselor Simon who is leading. charged in objecting to plans to
[01:32:34] create a county of sanctuary for refugees, but next in the Great

[01:37:17] Welcome back to Britain's number one news channel. I'm Nana Aquear. We're live on
[01:37:21] TV online and on digital radio. Don't forget as well that GB
[01:37:25] News app. It's very good. Download it and watch all the the programs
[01:37:29] at your leisure. Right. It's time now though for the Great British debate and
[01:37:33] I'm asking has net zero become ridiculous. I mean, how
[01:37:37] far is too far when it comes to net zero? The government is facing
[01:37:40] criticism over the plans to spend
[01:37:42] 420,000. a biomass heating
[01:37:46] system at his majesty's prison, the vern to keep sex offenders
[01:37:50] warm. now this is repeatedly up to seven times the cost of a
[01:37:54] traditional gas alternative. so for the great British debate I'm asking
[01:37:58] as net zero become, well just ludicrous frankly. we're joining me now,
[01:38:02] broadcast and journalist Danny Kelly and leader the climate party Ed
[01:38:05] Gemel, which is where I must start. Gemel,
[01:38:08] and I'm so surprised you turn to me first. I think I think let's do let's
[01:38:12] have a quick one about that prison and then let's go to the next.
[01:38:17] ridiculous generally um
[01:38:18] in the prison, mean i was stunned as well that that was in the in the government sort of procurement thing, but that is
[01:38:21] the potential price of of paying for it and then they're going to try and get something within
[01:38:25] that, and within that you can't see the infrastructure around it. i don't think it's the right thing anyway, i would have
[01:38:29] thought doing
[01:38:30] you know an airsource heat pump with infrared would actually be much way of doing it and it would bring the price down
[01:38:34] by almost two-thirds, so so i just think that was a particularly ridiculous
[01:38:38] thing to be picked out, yeah that was it was very odd, the i think the other one though in terms
[01:38:42] of is net has net zero itself become ridiculous, would say it's the
[01:38:45] absolute opposite, it is utterly ridiculous for us to keep delaying. I
[01:38:49] mean, this is the absolutely fastest growing area, um, in terms
[01:38:53] of commercially in the world, except Deeptech and AI, with no crash coming.
[01:38:57] at 15% year in our own country, CBI figures in the last four
[01:39:01] years showing
[01:39:02] that it's growing at 10% year, it's nearly 4% of
[01:39:04] GDP, because it's a
[01:39:08] scar, no, not at all, what it's what it's doing at the moment, not only, not only is it giving us energy security
[01:39:12] and things, but it's making us money, it's putting nearly 110 billion onto our
[01:39:16] economy at the moment in grace value out, well nobody can see this money,
[01:39:20] you're saying that they can
[01:39:21] see this money the money, no no we're spending the money, it's coming, we are
[01:39:25] paying for the infrastructure of all and we're not recouping anything right now, you
[01:39:29] know that, look, you had a on, no, I don't,
[01:39:33] actually, and
[01:39:35] one second, you had somebody earlier on that was actually talking about the one
[01:39:39] British company we had that pumping out wind turbine blades at the moment and making
[01:39:43] money for brit yeah, but there shouldn't be one, we should have
[01:39:46] 20, we shouldn't be, because we have spent
[01:39:50] since the 1970s, we have spent our time deindustrializing
[01:39:54] Britain, we have outsourced everything, no... that was nothing to
[01:39:58] do with
[01:39:58] in the 1970s, no one even talked about it,
[01:40:00] and in the 1970s, 1/3, 33% of our economy came from
[01:40:04] manufacturing, that dropped down to 9% in 2008, which
[01:40:08] is the first time we won't even talk about net zero, but when the climate change act came in, so we could
[01:40:12] take that water, and since then until
[01:40:16] now we have dropped off less than another 1%, and if we had
[01:40:19] stripped out all these CB, what the CBI has done its study on over the last
[01:40:23] four years, showing how much money we're making from it, we would had a...
[01:40:27] negative growth in this country in GDP should have
[01:40:31] if we done this that would have happened something else would have come these
[01:40:35] variables that you put in place i love it when people do this because they come up with all these variables w that happened
[01:40:39] and that
[01:40:39] had happened and that happened that is happening the variables that you
[01:40:43] putting in place right well let's be honest here that what if we
[01:40:47] kept coal what if we'd kept coal hang on what if we'd kept
[01:40:51] coal and then use that money to build more net zero infrastructure
[01:40:55] but we didn't we got rid of call bause we were saying that too bad for the air and everything else like that,
[01:40:59] which is fine, that's fine, but what if we kept our steel industry, we wouldn't be
[01:41:02] buying things from china, what if we could go on with the what, the first thing is
[01:41:06] there's no what if, i'm telling you the figures of what we've actually done, it's the not the
[01:41:10] if i'm saying they could be different if we'd change things, let's bring in danny
[01:41:14] kell, well look talking about ridiculous, importing steel and importing oil
[01:41:18] from around the world is ridiculous where we can potentially do it on our own door step
[01:41:21] rather than down steel manufacturing plants all around the
[01:41:25] country, just to get back to...
[01:41:27] less question is it becoming ridiculous for lot of people who are, i think my
[01:41:31] understanding is that green levys are roughly 200 quid 250 pound year,
[01:41:35] but they been drop so now,
[01:41:36] it's yeah, but it starts
[01:41:37] with two, i think, you know, that's a lot of dough for households, it really
[01:41:41] is, and when there's nothing tangible, now i know that you're incredibly
[01:41:44] passionate about this head, but i would hazard a guess that
[01:41:48] 75, 80% the population isn't as passionate about it as
[01:41:52] you, whether they're correct to be less passionate is is not up for debate, what i'm
[01:41:56] talking about is ability of things and when their face was spending
[01:42:00] 200 pounds a year on green levies which is going towards the government
[01:42:04] building green energy supplies yeah and they're not seeing anything for
[01:42:07] it and then they also hear the fact that there are coal mines being opened around
[01:42:11] the world almost a monthly basis when we almost hear a
[01:42:15] stories that it's it's unachievable because we're such a small island and we are
[01:42:19] responsible for point something the i know that so old
[01:42:22] fashioned this is so old fashioned we make we would make money by doing it it
[01:42:26] makes money. but that's a business thing along the line, I'm talking about
[01:42:30] people having to spend 200 pound year now, not today, who aren't
[01:42:33] necessarily they haven't got the business accuben of maybe you and me, it's all very well
[01:42:37] saying look in 40 or 50 years time you'll get that money back and
[01:42:41] load more, then they're not interested in that, they they don't want to spend the 200 nick
[01:42:45] now, that's just one green lev, sure there's loads of stuff, what is actually
[01:42:49] happening on the macro scale so in a whole industry of our whole country,
[01:42:52] it is putting money into our pockets, we now have more than million jobs
[01:42:56] in the nets. economy we have 25, how many
[01:43:00] jobs, at the expense of how many jobs, how many jobs, how many
[01:43:04] jobs, how many people have lost their jobs and steel works to do for for the
[01:43:08] future so-called green jobs that aren't there yet, but we all agree on this one,
[01:43:12] steel on the talking about j that aren't here, yeah, but what we should be
[01:43:16] doing on the steel works is what we should be doing is having it made
[01:43:18] here, so ridiculous, because we put it
[01:43:22] out, so you continuously want to have china importing stuff, i
[01:43:26] don't, i want it,
[01:43:35] but they're not doing that are they? that's the point, so if they're calling
[01:43:39] for zero and they're not doing what would facilitate
[01:43:42] it, then it's ridiculous, it's a contradiction in terms it is, mean it's
[01:43:46] not contradiction what we're saying,
[01:43:47] it is, because they're calling for something but doing the very opposite that would facilitate it,
[01:43:51] all right, we'll leave it there, he's
[01:43:54] frozen, All right,
[01:43:58] listen, this show is nothing without you and your views. Let's welcome our great British voice. Their
[01:44:02] opportunity to be on the show and tell us what they think about the topics we're discussing. We're going to
[01:44:06] wat for David Barm. What do you think? Hello, nana. I got
[01:44:09] to say. love it, he's so passionate about his subject
[01:44:12] and
[01:44:13] you i respect someone who's that passionate, but let's just talk
[01:44:17] about steel, the industry died
[01:44:21] because it was in, it was not effective to make uh steel
[01:44:25] in the UK, the governments had actually priced out
[01:44:29] when they stopped doing coal which fired the furnaces which
[01:44:33] made the steel in the first place, that's right, and they say i know turn around
[01:44:37] and say actually no, no, no, we can use the green technology, it costs
[01:44:41] twice as much to far a furnace using
[01:44:45] alternative methods than traditional cold fire furnaces,
[01:44:49] exactly, you have said it correctly, you work it
[01:44:52] combined together, use the profits, i going get
[01:44:56] petrol, it's now 159 at
[01:44:59] costco,
[01:45:01] what nearly 175, but it's it's more
[01:45:04] expensive, tesla wherever and other garages, now where does
[01:45:08] that come out, it comes out of my pocket, the government are not
[01:45:12] subsidizing me, they're not saying, oh well, you're being a very good man by
[01:45:16] using - a hybrid car, no,
[01:45:19] no, no, no, no, you got to pay for, well listen, so we've got
[01:45:23] to go then, so briefly, is it ridiculous, yes or no, it is
[01:45:27] beyond ridiculous, all right, David B and Watford, thank you very much, well the ministry
[01:45:31] of justice spokesperson said by replacing outdated boilet facilities and carrying out vital

[01:49:45] hello, good afternoon and welcome to GB News, we're live on TV online and on digital
[01:49:49] radio. I'm Nanna Aqueer. now let's talk autoimmune conditions. because they
[01:49:53] affect millions of people in Britain, but but with symptoms ranging
[01:49:57] from pain and fatigue to problems of affecting major organs, they can actually be
[01:50:00] very difficult to recognize and diagnose. well, asal Shirazi
[01:50:04] lives with multiple autoimmune conditions and now campaigns for greater
[01:50:08] awareness. so why are these illnesses still so poorly
[01:50:12] understood? well, sal is here to join to discuss that she's the
[01:50:15] founder of autoimmune support and awareness foundation and a
[01:50:19] British empire metal recipient for her humanity. in work as
[01:50:23] soul, what is going on? because I know I have an autoimmune, loads of people have
[01:50:27] autoimmunes, but it's not doesn't really feel like the top the agenda
[01:50:31] for many governments? no, I think, first of all, thank you for having me here
[01:50:35] again, um, I've seen the problem is the majority the public
[01:50:38] and and possibly the policy makers and people in government, any
[01:50:42] government, don't understand what autoimmunity is,
[01:50:45] basically if your
[01:50:48] security of building goes awall, and
[01:50:52] recognize good people from bad people, it starts attacking the people that are
[01:50:56] inside it rather than keeping the bad ones out, and this is what
[01:51:00] happens and there's a lot of um with our immune system,
[01:51:04] absolutely, yes, your immune system
[01:51:07] exactly, the immune system is is is
[01:51:11] responsible for protecting you, for regulating, and
[01:51:15] if it's just not one, it's not in one place, it's your entire body,
[01:51:19] even your brain, so if something's going wrong,
[01:51:23] um, it affects everything, and the problem is,
[01:51:27] it's not that they're ignoring it, it's because they're ignorant, and
[01:51:30] I, I'm not insulting anybody, I mean
[01:51:32] everybody, anybody who's a policy maker, and I've
[01:51:36] spoken to quite a lot of people, um, the problem
[01:51:40] is the population the UK for example,
[01:51:44] is um, as the last count, which is I thin last year,
[01:51:48] almost 70 million, one in 10 people
[01:51:51] are a... and that's one in 10 people
[01:51:55] who are actually already diagnosed, there are
[01:51:59] millions that are not diagnosed, so I want
[01:52:02] to know why is it that 7 million people in the
[01:52:06] UK are being ignored and not supported enough and
[01:52:10] they can't the medical field, the
[01:52:13] government, they can't join join the dots, our
[01:52:17] charity is composed of some
[01:52:21] the best brain. and scientists, not just
[01:52:25] in the UK, by global, and we have brilliant
[01:52:28] partners, why is
[01:52:30] it that they're not asking our help, we know how to join the
[01:52:34] dots, it's not rocket science for us, I'm a medical physiologist and I
[01:52:38] know exactly how it works, why is it that they're not seeking
[01:52:41] our help? we have the solutions for us, it's not
[01:52:45] rocket science, it's common sense, it's straightforward, so I
[01:52:49] want to ask the 7 million that are all ready
[01:52:53] diagnosed to step up, come
[01:52:57] and back us up and support us so we can get out there and
[01:53:00] get some early diagnosis in for people, because
[01:53:04] every day, every week that the diagnosis is
[01:53:08] delayed. i know one young chap, he's just turned
[01:53:12] 12, it's taken eight years to diagnose him, that's
[01:53:16] all his childhood, but most of it, and they still don't know, so if
[01:53:20] people want to now there's an event on from. be at the
[01:53:23] event, yeah, so we have yearly fundraiser
[01:53:27] and what we do at the charity is we
[01:53:30] predominantly um educate nurses,
[01:53:33] medical staff, um, foreigners and not
[01:53:37] foreigners, pardon,

[01:54:39] We're live on TV, online and on digital radio. This is GB
[01:54:43] News, plenty more coming in the next
[01:54:45] hour.
[01:54:51] Today, clouds overhead, totals
[01:54:54] and within. Box solar sponsors the
[01:54:58] weather on GB News. Hello there, good afternoon,
[01:55:02] welcome to our GB News weather update from the Met Office. It should be quite a
[01:55:05] fine end to the day for many of us, though a change coming through tonight in
[01:55:09] the north where we'll eventually see more rain coming through, but under clearer
[01:55:13] skies it will be turning a bit chillier than of late. For the time being though, high
[01:55:17] pressure continues to build across the southwest, meaning it should be quite a
[01:55:21] fine end to the day, plenty of clear skies, so eventually across the north we'll
[01:55:25] start to see more cloud push through towards the northwest and eventually through
[01:55:28] the early hours the morning we'll see rain progress through here eventually into northern
[01:55:32] Ireland, parts of Scotland and Northwest. England to the south of this
[01:55:36] though, plenty of clear skies, so turning a bit chillier here, rural areas
[01:55:40] under the clearer skies could drop down to around two to 4°grees celsius, so
[01:55:44] quite a chilly start by the time we reach Monday morning for some, but
[01:55:48] it is eventually going to start to turn a bit warmer, a bit muggier, particularly across the
[01:55:52] north where we'll see some clouds, some rain, this could turn quite persistent across the
[01:55:56] hills of Scotland, also quite cloudy and damp start across northern
[01:56:00] Ireland, northern England we'll see some patchy cloud and possibly some
[01:56:04] light outbacks of... towards the far northwest, elsewhere across England and
[01:56:08] Wales though, it should be quite a bright start to the day, a little bit chilly, some patchy
[01:56:12] fog in places, though this should soon clear through the course the morning, and remaining
[01:56:15] quite dry and settled here with some sunshine, towards the north though, different
[01:56:19] story, remaining quite cloudy with some rain and drizzle, this quite
[01:56:23] persistent around western hills through the course the day,
[01:56:27] much lighter winds and feeling warm in the sunshine once again, but return of that
[01:56:30] muggy feel, temperatures pushing into the mid-20s for many areas,
[01:56:34] including eastern areas of Scotland where they might start to see some breaks in the cloud
[01:56:38] later on into the day. now through Monday night there's not
[01:56:42] much change, there's still this north south split in the weather, so plenty of cloud
[01:56:46] towards the north, some rain and drizzle, but some clearer skies towards the
[01:56:49] south. we'll still see plenty of fine weather into next week, though some rain and showers
[01:56:53] across the north at times and temperatures eventually returning to more average for this point
[01:56:57] the year. today clouds
[01:57:01] overhead, totals and within.

[02:00:18] Hello, good afternoon and welcome to GB News, we're live on TV online
[02:00:22] and on digital radio. It's 5 o'clock. I'm Nanna a queer,
[02:00:26] and for the next hour,
[02:00:27] me and my panel will be taking on some the big topics hitting the
[02:00:30] headlines right now. This show is all about opinion. It's
[02:00:34] mine, it's theirs and of course it's yours. We'll be debating, discussing and at times
[02:00:38] we will disagree, but no one will be cancelled. So
[02:00:42] joining me for the next hour, broadcaster and journalist Danny
[02:00:45] Kelly and leader of... the climate party, Ed
[02:00:48] Gamel. So in my
[02:00:51] niggle, if countries are deviding historic
[02:00:55] reperations running into trillions from
[02:00:58] us. These are countries we've given over 6 billion pounds with avaid
[02:01:02] to, these are countries from whom we've taken nearly 4 million migrants, all of it in the last two
[02:01:05] decades, no more fresh visas until they drop these
[02:01:09] demands. It couldn't be clearer. I took on those
[02:01:13] demanding reparations over slavery. It's time to put our foot down and tell country.
[02:01:17] like Barbados to clear off. Let's finally grow a backbone and remind the world of all the great
[02:01:21] things that Britain has contributed, but if you missed it, you can catch up on GP News
[02:01:25] YouTube channel. Coming up in the Great British debate, I'm asking,
[02:01:29] do you want early election? That's what Andy Burnam is reportedly
[02:01:32] plotting uh, because he doesn't really have the mandate to raise taxes, but
[02:01:36] Minister for women and equalities Britith phillipson says that labor need longer
[02:01:40] to deliver their promises. We were only elected in
[02:01:44] July 2024 and that was for five-year term, and there's a lot of work. that
[02:01:48] we
[02:01:48] need to do and I'm focused on how between now and the next
[02:01:51] election well shadow chief secretary chief the
[02:01:54] treasury Richard Fuller says
[02:01:56] that the government
[02:01:57] is in denial over their fiscal situation they have
[02:02:01] produced their forecast and then they've run out of money and then they've run to the
[02:02:05] taxpayer for more money so accountability runs both
[02:02:08] ways so
[02:02:10] in the great britch debat I ask do you want early election uh the poll
[02:02:14] is live you can head there to gbnews.com to cast your vote. "and you
[02:02:18] can do that right
[02:02:19] now, then in another great bitch debate, I'm asking, as ADHD culture
[02:02:23] spiraled out of control?
[02:02:25] I got 13,00 pounds from the government to help me with my
[02:02:28] ADHD. The number of adults
[02:02:31] prescribed drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has risen nearly
[02:02:35] sixfold since before the pandemic. So what do you think, is it out of
[02:02:39] control? And of course today is the second day the Liberal Democrat conference, Sir
[02:02:43] Ed Davis says his party is firewall against Nigel Faran." and
[02:02:47] reform UK. Will they hear?
[02:02:51] We care, we fight. We
[02:02:55] care, we fight. It's almost as
[02:02:58] embarrassing as the dancing. Well, coming up in my interview, I'll be joined by
[02:03:02] Hartper Reform Counselor Simon Roads, who was leading the charge in objecting
[02:03:06] to plans to create a county of sanctuary for refugees.
[02:03:10] I don't know whether he's asked the constituence there. Is it a welcoming initiative or a
[02:03:14] virtue signaling gesture? But before we get. Started your latest
[02:03:18] news with Sofia
[02:03:19] Wennsler.
[02:03:27] Nana, thank you, and good afternoon. It's just gone 5 o'clock. Your top story is this
[02:03:30] hour. Andy Burnham has congratulated Denmark and the US
[02:03:34] a deal to strengthen security
[02:03:36] in the Arctic after the two countries reached an agreement over Greenland.
[02:03:40] The new trilateral agreement grants Washington permanent security
[02:03:43] control the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic.
[02:03:47] resolving diplomatic dispute sparked by President Donald Trump's
[02:03:51] threat to seize it by force. Downing Street said the Prime Minister and
[02:03:55] his Danish counterpart Metter Friedrichsen welcomed the U.S.
[02:03:58] commitment to the region a cool this morning. It comes as
[02:04:02] Mr. Burnham prepares to meet Donald Trump in person for the first
[02:04:06] time at the UN General Assembly in New York next
[02:04:09] week. El Spencer says there are
[02:04:13] similarities between how both his sister Princess Diana and the Duke
[02:04:17] and of Sussex have been treated by the media. Harry
[02:04:21] and Megan, who recently returned to the UK from California six years
[02:04:24] after stepping back from royal duties have been repeatedly
[02:04:28] critical the press. Speaking to the BBC, he said daily
[02:04:32] criticism from the press must be cancerous influence on their
[02:04:36] lives. It would be really beholding on people to learn from
[02:04:39] Diana's example. I'm not here to speak for Harry and Megan, but for
[02:04:43] anyone who's being destroyed in this way daily.
[02:04:47] "it must be such cancerous influence in their life. one
[02:04:51] the problems with Diana was, she's very, very sensitive to
[02:04:54] criticism, and of course, I'm sure most of your viewers
[02:04:58] now think, oh, she had this sp..." life and it was all amazing and she didn't, she was so
[02:05:02] privileged and so perfect in so many ways, but she was really
[02:05:06] brought low by all that criticism, and yeah, I suppose it's a
[02:05:10] pity when I see echos of that
[02:05:12] now. Ed Sheran has apologized to
[02:05:16] fans for making mistakes as he opened a solo show in
[02:05:19] Philadelphia. All the singer support acts, including his band to
[02:05:23] quit the current loop tour, after the US rapper McLamore was
[02:05:27] dropped for making pro-Palestine comments. Shiran said that
[02:05:31] decision was taken by promoters, not him, but said he was sorry for
[02:05:35] his handling the controversy that
[02:05:37] followed. I don't want to disappoint fans and
[02:05:41] I've never wanted to be an activist musician, but this has put me in the middle of an
[02:05:45] important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most
[02:05:49] complex political issue on the
[02:05:51] planet. He described the
[02:05:54] October 7th Hamas led attacks as horrific, but said Israel's
[02:05:58] treatment of residence in Gaza is...
[02:06:00] unjustifiable. Sired Davy
[02:06:03] says he's confident the Liberal Democrats can take on Nigel Farage and Zack
[02:06:07] Palansky at the next election, insisting he has the charisma to compete
[02:06:11] with both. Speaking at the party conference in Brighton, he said if the
[02:06:15] liberal democrats were to form the next government, they would cut fuel
[02:06:19] duty and rail and bus fairs a cost of around two billion
[02:06:23] pounds a year. Got to help people with the costling, particularly the
[02:06:27] rise in filling your car up at the pumps of petrol and diesel. thanks to Trump's
[02:06:31] idiotic war with Iran, people are paying a fortune just
[02:06:35] to fill up the car, so we think we should have cut in fuel duty
[02:06:38] tax for the next three months to cut the price you pay at the pumps
[02:06:42] by 12p liter, that would really bring help just when it's
[02:06:46] needed, and it will pay for itself because the government's getting huge amounts of tax
[02:06:50] revenue from these higher oil and gas prices, they should give it back to
[02:06:53] people. At least two people have been killed and
[02:06:57] six injured in one the biggest Ukrainian drone attacks. on the Moscow
[02:07:00] region overnight. Officials in Russia say more than 200
[02:07:04] drones had been shot down and fires were reported in several residential
[02:07:08] houses and an oil refinery. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, mother and her
[02:07:12] two three-year-old children have been killed in the Kive region. The
[02:07:16] governor there says the area has endured constant hostile attacks for more
[02:07:20] than a day with 31 sights damaged in five
[02:07:23] districts. A national task
[02:07:26] force aimed at tackling misogyny across society. being launched by
[02:07:30] the government, it's part of labor's manifesto pledge to half
[02:07:34] violence against women and girls within a decade. the group of
[02:07:38] ministers, women's organizations, academics and local leaders will
[02:07:42] seek to root out harmful attitudes online in
[02:07:45] schools, workplaces and within communities. further measures
[02:07:49] are to be expected to be announced this
[02:07:51] week. you're up to date on GB

[02:08:17] Good afternoon and welcome to GV News. We're live on TV online and on
[02:08:20] digital radio. I'm Nana Agaire. Now still to come there's growing
[02:08:24] evidence that Andy Burna miss considering a general election
[02:08:28] in the next year. This is. seeks a mandate to raise taxes
[02:08:31] and it's the second day the lib dem conference, dave says his
[02:08:35] party is the farwall against Niger frages reform
[02:08:39] UK and then in another great british debate I'm asking has
[02:08:43] a the ADHD culture spiraled out of control with
[02:08:47] the number of adults prescribed drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity
[02:08:50] disorder rising nearly sixfold since before the
[02:08:53] pandemic and in the interview joining me in the studio harpper
[02:08:57] reform counselor Simon roads who's the charge and objecting to
[02:09:01] plans to create a county of sanctuary for refugees.
[02:09:05] that's all coming up in the hour as ever, send me your thoughts post your comments,
[02:09:09] gbnews.com/ your
[02:09:10] say.
[02:09:17] so is the prime minister Andy Burnham plotting early general
[02:09:20] election? labor sources claim that Andy Burnom wants to call a snap
[02:09:24] election within the next year to seek a fresh mandate to raise
[02:09:28] taxes. chancellor John is reportedly considering series of
[02:09:32] tax rises ahead of next month's budget as the
[02:09:36] treasury looks to raise an extra 10 to 15 billion pounds so joining
[02:09:40] me to discuss this is deputy political editor at the spectator James
[02:09:43] Hill James
[02:09:45] so here
[02:09:45] we are again they are talking about
[02:09:49] raising taxes that's all they seem to be doing and they've got a black
[02:09:52] hole by the looks of
[02:09:53] it of 10 to 15 billion yeah
[02:09:57] and that is very much why Andy Burn would' need to call
[02:10:01] an election, i think right now the prime minister is a couple of
[02:10:05] minds, those are at the top the labor party seemon sure about
[02:10:08] which way he's going to go, but right now the worsening.
[02:10:12] situation means that that is why he would have to potentially be bounced into it three
[02:10:16] years before his tum is up to the end the parliament and that's because
[02:10:20] the pledges that Kier Starma made in 2024 uh those pledges of
[02:10:23] course included no rise in income tax uh no rise
[02:10:27] in VAT and as result uh I think that there is increasingly less
[02:10:31] head room in the government's fiscal position with estimates now slashed to
[02:10:35] around 5 billion rather than 20 billion that some were hoping for at this stage the
[02:10:39] parliament and it's disappointing really in my
[02:10:42] because there are things that he could do that could actually save money, more taxes,
[02:10:46] simply squeeze the pockets the taxpayers and it
[02:10:50] means that there is less disposable income, which then is a shrinking
[02:10:54] effect on the economy, well quite, and of
[02:10:57] course, you can really get money from three ways, you can borrow more, well
[02:11:01] that seems very much unlikely given how exposed we are to uh changes in
[02:11:05] guilt yields, you can tax more, which of course poses a whole
[02:11:08] host of different issues and increasingly less wealthy people to get... money
[02:11:12] from, or you can cut spending, and I think this will be the
[02:11:16] big point the conservatives and reform UK make, which is that
[02:11:20] actually, why aren't you considering cuts in welfare, which obviously is now
[02:11:23] set to double in terms of personal dependent payments by 2030? And let's
[02:11:27] talk about this supposed mansion tax that might be coming into play, and that John
[02:11:31] Healey we're thinking that he is planning to reduce the
[02:11:35] muted threshold from two b, two, two million, sorry, to
[02:11:38] 1.5 million. Again, another attempt to...
[02:11:42] grab more money, yeah, and 300,000 additional homes would be
[02:11:46] affected, and and I'm at the Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton, and this afternoon at
[02:11:50] Davy made his opposition known to that, and of
[02:11:52] course,
[02:11:57] I think very much the great canaries of British
[02:12:01] policy, deciding a policy, and the fact that they're against this, I think
[02:12:05] does show that there will be lot of London MPS, lot of labor MPs in London
[02:12:09] who are already feeling a bit annoyed by what Burnham's saying on council. council tax
[02:12:13] reevaluations, what's happening in Wonsworth, and I think mansion tax with the next big thing,
[02:12:17] which could potentially cause a bit of divide between the north and south, the labor party, well
[02:12:21] absolutely, and the north and south itself frankly, because um,
[02:12:25] the majority of those houses are in London or in the southeast
[02:12:29] frankly, so the people around the other areas of this
[02:12:32] country won't really be affected, and that's more near his sort of voting base,
[02:12:36] although as you pointing out, there's lots of
[02:12:43] the libdms who are elites, they're not really the... working class, there's kind middle sort of to high earners who have a conscience
[02:12:47] who feel that they don't want to go free the the other two parties, they'll be
[02:12:50] affected. yeah, mean there's a common saying
[02:12:54] during the last london elections in 2024, which is among the
[02:12:57] conservatives was that the longer the drive, the less likely they were to vote tory, and i
[02:13:01] think that is inversion the traditional relationship between the center right
[02:13:05] and different voting patterns, but look, i think we've obviously got the whole b the saint pancast
[02:13:09] bi-election to think about, i think that will play a factor in burnam's thinking. but there are fair
[02:13:13] few wealthy people in that seat as well and I'll be interested to see whether those seats start
[02:13:17] going um depending on the mansion tax reports if that seems likely and of course you've got the
[02:13:21] budget on the 28th of October where this will be unlikely failed so so do you
[02:13:25] think he should call early general
[02:13:27] election?
[02:13:33] unconvinced I think that the energy price cap
[02:13:36] uh which is going to be increased next month energy prices going up 4% or
[02:13:39] so and the fall out the stage of moves makes it quite unlikely, so I
[02:13:43] think May is more likely, whether we can call that early election or
[02:13:46] not, remains to be seen, but um, I have to say I do find it difficult to find
[02:13:50] anyone in the labor party who thinks that this parliament will last the course until July
[02:13:54] 2029. That's interesting, isn't it? I, I, I agree with you there, I
[02:13:57] don't think that they will want to do that because they'll be concerned about their jobs.

[02:19:37] good afternoon and welcome to GB News, Britain's number one news channel. If you're just
[02:19:41] tuned in, you should have come here at three, but welcome. It's coming up to 20
[02:19:45] minutes after 5 o'clock. And today is day
[02:19:48] two, dear two the lib dem conference and Sir Ed Davy is taking
[02:19:52] aim at reform and Elon Mask. "the party is gearing up
[02:19:56] for a fight as Britain's political battle lines are redrawn,
[02:20:00] but if early election came calling, would the libdemes be ready? well
[02:20:04] GB News's chief political correspondent Catherine Foster joins us
[02:20:08] now. Catherine, you're there at the conference, uh, how's it been
[02:20:12] so far?
[02:20:15] Well, the party faithful are here, um, all
[02:20:19] listening to what Davy, Davy Cooper, Daisy Cooper,
[02:20:23] and everybody has to say, Of course, but there is
[02:20:27] concern uh, there's a poll out today that has the Liberal Democrats at just
[02:20:31] 8%. They have in fact slipped in the polls uh a
[02:20:34] bit over the last couple of years, so they've got... 71 mps are best
[02:20:38] ever showing and they've got, I think the biggest number of
[02:20:42] counselors, but let's talk now to Steph
[02:20:45] Aquaron, who is the Liberal Democrat MP
[02:20:49] for North Norfolk, thank you very much for joining us this
[02:20:52] afternoon, you're announcing policies today, but are
[02:20:56] the public listening, you seem to have a problem in cutting
[02:21:00] through? well, first of all, thanks for covering our conference, I think that your
[02:21:03] viewers, like I, feel as that this country needs change.
[02:21:08] "and we have lot to offer the country as Liberal Democrats, our popular, our
[02:21:11] policies are extremely popular when they're put to the people, you're right to flag that
[02:21:15] some of our challenges lie in getting cut through, but we have to start where the pain
[02:21:19] is hardest or highest. At the moment, people in my constituency are
[02:21:23] really struggling to get to work, and so to announce cut to fuel duty
[02:21:27] as part of our party policy, I think it's absolutely right, it's relevant to the challenges
[02:21:31] people are facing right now, and that's more important frankly to me than what our
[02:21:35] poll ratings currently suggest." "We don't know that there'll be
[02:21:39] early election, but if Andy Burnham did decide to do
[02:21:42] it, um, he might well lose his majority and be
[02:21:46] looking to um the Liberal Democrats for a
[02:21:49] coalition. I mean, Roz Savage, one of your own MPs, has
[02:21:53] talked about nervousness of sleep walking into
[02:21:57] a irrelevance. There's a possibility that sir Ed
[02:22:00] Davy might have the last laugh and end up as deputy prime minister. Well,
[02:22:04] I rate a Davey as a political leader '
[02:22:07] as a politician, he was immensely supportive of me coming swimming in the North
[02:22:11] Sea in Sheringan when we were campaigning issues of water pollution, and that
[02:22:15] campaigning mindset is is part of who we are. didn't get into this
[02:22:19] to try and get myself into government or to prop up labor, i got into this to make
[02:22:23] my community better, and i think that's always been the bedrock of why liberal democrats
[02:22:27] win seats at council level and above, come rain or
[02:22:30] shine. i think we're going to make gains at the next election, but i don't think that election is going
[02:22:34] to be for some years. you're talking about... about the need to cut
[02:22:38] taxes and get growth, we have a government at
[02:22:42] the moment that doesn't seem ready to take difficult
[02:22:45] decisions on spending, there's not much money
[02:22:49] around, do you worry that Andy Burnaam is perhaps a bit
[02:22:53] too much of
[02:22:53] a people pleaser? well, I think somebody much clever than
[02:22:57] me once said to me that you can't ever as a government actually create
[02:23:01] growth, all you can really do is stop it and do policies
[02:23:04] that make it harder for businesses and harder for the... and I think the
[02:23:08] best case scenario is that we start to see u-turns on some of those disastrous
[02:23:12] policies that have made life so much harder, whether it's for farmers in my com my
[02:23:16] constituency in North Norfok or just people trying to grow their workforce,
[02:23:20] employ those extra few people, so our economy will grow if we get
[02:23:24] confidence, if we have the right mindset and if policy makers step back and let
[02:23:27] businesses thrive. Andy Burnham has got some charisma, but I think the real
[02:23:31] tradeoffs will come when we get to the budgets and I think a lot of people are giving him the benefit the
[02:23:35] doubt until then. counselors know how to make tough
[02:23:39] trade-off decisions, because we've been in local government in the past decade doing
[02:23:43] exactly that, so if anyone knows about difficult trade-offs, it's
[02:23:46] us. yes, and you also had - quite a
[02:23:50] traumatic experience as part the coalition or indeed your number of
[02:23:53] MPs uh dropped very significantly after that
[02:23:57] 2015 general election. step Aquaron, thank you very much indeed for talking to
[02:24:00] us uh on GB News this afternoon from very sunny uh
[02:24:04] rooftop and there's probably some disco music you might be able to hear. down on the
[02:24:08] beach, nana. Oh, it looks lovely there. I wish I was there. Thank you very much,
[02:24:11] Katherine Foster. So, there she goes. She's there at the Lib Dference day
[02:24:15] too. Right, th, now it's time for this week's interview.
[02:24:19] Hartfordshire. If you live in Hartfordshire, you want to listen up carefully, because it could become
[02:24:23] a county of sanctuary, joining national network aimed
[02:24:27] at making communities more welcoming for refugees and
[02:24:30] asylum seekers. But the proposal has proved controversial with
[02:24:34] thousands signing petition against the move. we're joining me now as reform
[02:24:38] UK counselor for borumwood north Simon roads all right simon
[02:24:42] so this
[02:24:43] I mean I know many people who live in Harper Harper is a big
[02:24:46] place um and I have friends there nobody's heard of this what's going
[02:24:50] on um well believe you or not nana i had heard
[02:24:54] absolutely nothing about it until I was sitting in full council
[02:24:58] and um counselor Colly um stood up and
[02:25:01] said addressed um counselor
[02:25:04] Hilton um regarding uh what what
[02:25:08] was what was uh what had been discussed a committee which is the health
[02:25:12] and community safety uh panel
[02:25:15] and um no one had heard anything about it so he
[02:25:19] asked her a quite a um - quite
[02:25:22] a well-known interview now um who's going to pay for this so-called
[02:25:26] city of sanctuary um her answer was
[02:25:30] well that's not really that's not really the issue the issue is that
[02:25:34] we're being humanitarian etc well it's not it wasn't really a
[02:25:38] practical answer, but if you look back to
[02:25:41] 2023, um, the North Harts
[02:25:44] district um, brought the brought the motion in
[02:25:48] there and this... "the county of sanct, the district
[02:25:52] of sanctuary is created there in 2023, there
[02:25:56] was no, there was no deliberation, there was no consultation with the
[02:25:59] public, there was no, there was no discussion, there was no
[02:26:03] information shared with the public about it whatsoever, it
[02:26:07] just went through like a dark room somewhere, and all of
[02:26:10] sudden the North Hart's district was district of
[02:26:14] sanctuary, and what does that mean, because lot of us are
[02:26:18] thinking
[02:26:18] that the United Kingdom is
[02:26:19] a little place a sanctary for every refugee, that's a really good question
[02:26:23] actually, because um, I thought the other day I'd look at the definition the
[02:26:27] word sanctuary, and I was reading up on it,
[02:26:30] and years ago, I know, 100, 150 years
[02:26:34] ago, a sanctuary used to refer to a church where the
[02:26:38] criminals would go to hide escape um the
[02:26:41] authorities, go figure,
[02:26:44] right, far of it, yeah, yeah, so so
[02:26:48] what would it entil for a count? like Hartfortcher, which is massive by the
[02:26:52] way, and there are many people watching this program who live in Harfidcher, you will be
[02:26:55] surprised to hear this for starters, but would also be thinking, well, what does that
[02:26:59] mean, does it mean that Hartfur will get first dibs on the refugees, so they'll
[02:27:03] come to, they'll be, they'll become like a sort of a bit of a Pittington where they'll
[02:27:07] be placed, what does it mean, it's not um, it's
[02:27:11] nothing like Pittington, because that was the home office, the home office put
[02:27:14] the has decided to put these refugees in adverted commas
[02:27:18] in in pitity. um and obviously
[02:27:22] the the word goes around has been going around that you get what you vote for, so yeah
[02:27:26] that's pittington, but no, as far as as far as this is
[02:27:29] concerned um what it does is it's the
[02:27:33] the the the
[02:27:35] the the structure of
[02:27:36] it is already in place, but what they want to do and it was
[02:27:40] brought through in the health and safety
[02:27:44] community panel and what they want to do is improve
[02:27:47] and reinforce how this um
[02:27:51] sanctuary system um works, so what happens
[02:27:55] is it went to the panel, it got voted through obviously by the the lib dems and
[02:27:59] labor, surprise, surprise, because they have the
[02:28:02] majority, and what happens now, it now goes to the
[02:28:06] executive uh, who are again liberal
[02:28:09] democrats cuz they have they hold the portfolios and it will then go
[02:28:13] to full full council on October 20th where it
[02:28:17] will be debated and it will go through because "the liberal,
[02:28:21] labor and probably greens will be backing it all the way, but what about the
[02:28:25] people of Harvardshire, because they by by the looks of this
[02:28:28] haven't been consulted, and what does it mean,
[02:28:32] because I'm reading that half actually already provides support for refugees from
[02:28:36] Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and other routes including assistance relating to
[02:28:40] housing, healthcare, education and integration, so what's the
[02:28:43] additional stuff that will be added to this, because you know, I
[02:28:47] think what it is on obviously..." 'all refugees are
[02:28:51] and migrants are criminals, we're not saying that, although they have broken into this country if
[02:28:55] they come dingy, that's just my view, but
[02:28:58] the bottom line
[02:28:59] is what what what will it mean to the residents in those areas, how
[02:29:03] will it affect people who live aperture? um, well, what happens is that they
[02:29:07] they will have, they will be, they are assisted, for example,
[02:29:11] they
[02:29:11] are given translators um refugees and
[02:29:14] asylum, asylum seek, yeah, um, to
[02:29:17] access um the'. system,
[02:29:21] benefits, uh, free dental care, maybe the odd free rock
[02:29:25] climbing weekend, who knows, and the they are
[02:29:28] assisted in
[02:29:30] doing that, um, and this obviously costs money, and this is all come about by a
[02:29:33] charity called hearts for hearts
[02:29:37] for um, hearts for
[02:29:41] hearts, hearts for hearts, it's
[02:29:45] a charity, heart for cheer for
[02:29:48] refugees, and um, which is
[02:29:52] funded by the tax payer, the last year, the last tax year was funded
[02:29:55] 76,000 was funded by the tax pay for this particular
[02:29:59] one, but nationally um
[02:30:01] the funding runs into 260 million pounds over
[02:30:05] the last five years, so the tax payer is is is
[02:30:09] paying lot of money for these refugee and asylum
[02:30:12] charities, which are all um
[02:30:15] assisting um refugeees a vertic commerce, I do
[02:30:19] say that, because the recent
[02:30:21] whistleblower
[02:30:23] um uh uh reveal who um
[02:30:27] who used to work for the home office, you may have heard of it, he was working for the home
[02:30:31] office and he left and then he he he told everyone that
[02:30:34] 99% of all asylum asylum
[02:30:38] claimants are bogus and there's all kinds of
[02:30:42] ways that it can be,
[02:30:43] well mean i haven't seen that, but uh but if you mean we'll get to verify that and
[02:30:47] check that, but what do you know what that was from was it? tv show or was it
[02:30:51] online? no, this was this was a just a whistleblower statement, i believe it
[02:30:54] was um may have been an anonymous,
[02:30:58] not, it was a interview, i believe, all right, we'll search for
[02:31:02] that. Uh, but stay right there, Simon, because I'm driving, I want
[02:31:05] to speak to ally Khan, she's a political commentator, and I want to get her
[02:31:09] views on this, look sanctuary or a place of
[02:31:13] sanctuary, um, I know many people who live
[02:31:16] in Hartfordshire, they often been consulted, they for
[02:31:19] it, just what the hell's going on, really, it's not really,
[02:31:23] nobody's agreed to that, I think what your
[02:31:26] guest has just pointed out correctly, it's a very, it's a symbolic
[02:31:29] title, and many cities across.
[02:31:32] the UK have adopted this not just recently, but going
[02:31:35] back um, you know, many years as well, and
[02:31:39] the last significant point of refugees when refugees
[02:31:43] were coming to the UK was obviously during the Ukraine, the start the Ukraine war,
[02:31:47] the Russian invasion, and so we had many uh Ukrainians come to
[02:31:51] Bradford as well, I attended few events, I even hosted a number of
[02:31:54] Ukrainian refugees as well, so I think it's important to actually take
[02:31:58] a step back and see what the purpose of designating
[02:32:02] city or area as a sanctuary is, your guest
[02:32:06] has pointed out that it was something um use the
[02:32:10] word was used to describe criminals hiding in the church few hundred
[02:32:14] years ago, but in today's DNA just actually used as creating a
[02:32:18] safe haven, creating a place where people are feeling welcome and maybe they're
[02:32:21] fleeing something, maybe they're fleeing war, they're fleeing famine and so on, so it's
[02:32:25] important that we get the fleeing france some
[02:32:28] them, well some them have entered the UK illegally and
[02:32:33] you right to mention this, I mean it's really important to also point out that
[02:32:36] 5% of people ref people have entered the UK and
[02:32:40] applied for asylum and refugee status, it's only 5% and those of
[02:32:44] obviously the b people would term as both
[02:32:48] people, people that have entered illegally through using the
[02:32:51] channel, but I think it's such such a positive thing, I think
[02:32:54] it's important to highlight the humanitarian aspect of this as well, when people are
[02:32:58] fleeing war, when they're fleeing uh whatever they're fleeing for.
[02:33:02] and they enter a country that's that makes them feel welcome, there's
[02:33:06] relationship there, there's a sanctuary there, there's a feeling there, a sense of
[02:33:10] loyalty as well, now I know so many Ukrainian refugees who actually
[02:33:14] returned back home after a period of time, but they still look upon their time in the
[02:33:18] UK with lots of love, lots of affection, some them i'm still in
[02:33:21] contact what meant with it's to
[02:33:23] that's be, isn't it, refugee, they se refuge and then they get sent back when
[02:33:27] their places
[02:33:28] is is sorted or Ukrainians are going back even though even
[02:33:31] though. Yeah, yeah, and the Syrians as well,
[02:33:35] so many Syrians that came, I know so many in my own
[02:33:38] hometown, they've returned as well, I think a lot of people are concerned
[02:33:42] that this might extend and become something else, as you know often does, Ashha Ali
[02:33:46] Khan, thank you very much, all right, very briefly, I'm going to come back to you
[02:33:49] councellor, uh, very briefly, we've got about 20 seconds,
[02:33:52] what is it that you're concerned about, having heard what I said,
[02:33:55] you know, it's it's no concerned that the the term refugee is
[02:33:59] being used as a trojan horse um for ' people who
[02:34:03] are um cheating the system and coming in illegally
[02:34:07] and etc and etc etc. i tried yeah all right well listen counselor
[02:34:11] simon roads uh thank you very much he's a counselor for borenwood
[02:34:14] north okay well uh gb news contacted Harper County
[02:34:17] council and we are waiting for reply they have previously said
[02:34:21] motion to explore further whether Harper should become a council of
[02:34:25] sanctuary and next steps was passed at the public health and community safety
[02:34:29] cabinet panel on September the 14th. This does not commit the
[02:34:33] council to a particular course of action, it'll give the opportunity to gather evidence and
[02:34:37] understand if council of sanctuary status could build on the work already
[02:34:40] taken place across the country, and counselor willaby has also said, if
[02:34:44] Harper adopts county of sanctary status, it means taking practical
[02:34:48] community focus steps to support people who are already here. nothing in this
[02:34:52] motion calls for a change to immigration rules or border decisions. what it
[02:34:56] does call for is a fundamental recognition the humanity of asylum seekers
[02:35:00] and refugees, and a home office spokes. has previously said, we do
[02:35:04] not comment on anonymous briefings, the home secretary has been clear that
[02:35:07] those trying to deford the British people to remain in the UK will have their
[02:35:11] application refused and find themselves a one way flight out of
[02:35:15] Britain. you're with me, I'm nanrath, delta come on TV News,

[02:40:00] good afternoon 39 minutes after 5 o'clock. this is GB News, britain's number
[02:40:03] one news channel. we're live on TV online and on digital
[02:40:07] radio. I'm Nanna aquier. now it's time for the Great British debate and
[02:40:11] I'm asking, has ADHD culture spiraled out of control?
[02:40:15] diagnoses and prescriptions have surged in recent years with new
[02:40:19] figures showing adult prescriptions nearly six times higher than before
[02:40:23] the pandemic, but experts say greater awareness and previously miss
[02:40:26] cases are also driving the rise, so for the great british debate
[02:40:30] I'm asking as ADHD culture spiraled out of
[02:40:34] control, we're joining me now, broadcaster and journalist Danny Kelly
[02:40:38] and leader the climate party Ed Gammer, Ed, what are your thoughts on
[02:40:41] this? look, I'm not an expert at all on this, so I think I
[02:40:44] think that's first. Yeah, I, I think in terms of uh, what I've been reading in the press
[02:40:48] and the articles that are come out, there's clearly a big issue, um, whether that
[02:40:52] is issue from a medical point of view of too much diagnosis,
[02:40:55] whether it's too many people coming forward because there are financial payments
[02:40:59] involved if you get diagnosed, I don't know, um, I
[02:41:03] think within it, ADHD is is
[02:41:06] clearly if you're within this thing, within this sort of
[02:41:09] spectrum, you've got ADHD, but
[02:41:11] you could be on the edges of it as well with with some sort of form of it, and and I think
[02:41:15] the other thing I find very strange as well is that some the people that are renowned as
[02:41:19] having ADHD are wildly successful, I mean Richard
[02:41:22] Branson, Mick Jagger, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Watson and one close
[02:41:26] to my heart John. Wilkinson
[02:41:28] like the most mechanical kicker of rugby balls that run us the world cup in in
[02:41:31] Australia he could just bash the ball over and his his ADHD
[02:41:35] probably helped in focus hyperfocus on doing that and he became master in it.
[02:41:39] I don't see why we're seeing this as a bad thing. I mean I know it's a spectrum
[02:41:43] but I just think
[02:41:46] you know I think my son probably has what they could class is that because
[02:41:50] when he focuses on things like what he was to he could name every single car there was
[02:41:53] and he was in supercs basically because when he looks at something. he
[02:41:57] studies it and memorizes it and then until he knows everything about it and then he moves
[02:42:01] on.
[02:42:01] now why is that a bad thing? why do I need some sort of medication to stop me from or stopping
[02:42:05] from doing that? and also why do you need to be re remunerated
[02:42:09] for it? why do you need payment for it? and I think that's where the the
[02:42:13] skepticism comes in, because
[02:42:15] you know if you have ADHD, I think I've probably got ADHD, I think we probably all probably all, I
[02:42:19] would have thought so, presenters and commentators, exactly, yeah, and I don't think it's a bad thing,
[02:42:23] and there's levels of like you say spectrum with with autism, so the most...
[02:42:27] people on the planet may be autistic, it doesn't mean that it's going to hold you
[02:42:31] back if anything, it can can project you forward, it may give you an
[02:42:35] advantage, lot of people they get fed up when they hear about all the pip,
[02:42:39] the personal independence, but again it's a spectrum, because seen some people who
[02:42:43] are autistic who are wildly sort of quite heavily
[02:42:46] debilitated, completely debilitated, but this ADHD thing has come
[02:42:50] almost,
[02:42:51] i think perhaps it's more to do with the fact that people are scrolling on their phones, their
[02:42:54] attention is shorter uh we have change the way we
[02:42:58] focus and concentrate, and I think there's a level of that, but I don't think that I think
[02:43:02] too many people are just creaming the system because you can't be pr, you can't prove it, so so so
[02:43:06] it's out there now, the genie's out the bottle and people know that if they are so minded that they can
[02:43:10] go and swing it, they can blag a prescription with the dock and then they can get benefits from
[02:43:14] it, I know someone who's 21 or 22 year old daughter, all right, she's a bit
[02:43:18] bouncy and everything, she's driving an Audi A1 s line automatic about a
[02:43:21] 45 grand car, she doesn't have to pay for insurance because on mobility, yes
[02:43:25] she loses her pip allowance, but mobility, you get free car insurance, people need to
[02:43:29] understand this, you get free road tax, you get free servicing, and she's now
[02:43:33] driving what would be completely unachievable for a 22 year
[02:43:37] old, and that's why, that's why people, is she claiming, she's
[02:43:40] claiming, she gets, she gets some sort of sort of pip, and that goes towards the
[02:43:44] payments right, farage is always banging on, would you say that she needs it though, if you, well I don't
[02:43:48] know,
[02:43:48] I mean she's a bit bouncy, but like we're all a bit bouncy, I don't get free cars,
[02:43:52] I have to pay for my insurance, how much that is, that's expensive when you're in the car business,
[02:43:56] farage is always going. about the perception of fairness, now the word is perception,
[02:44:00] whether it's true or not, it's how we feel about it, and I think people skim
[02:44:04] it.
[02:44:05] I mean, I have to say, I think we're all probably in agreement at this, the one thing I'd sort of bring into it
[02:44:08] is the minute you create a rule how somebody is going to get a
[02:44:12] benefit, then people are going to try and qualify for that rule, so to some extent
[02:44:16] you create the target that everybody starts going for, but within
[02:44:19] government and policy making, how do you manage any these things
[02:44:23] without creating the rule, you have to go across that threshold,
[02:44:27] you qualify. 'if you that threshold you don't, so the minute you've done it everybody
[02:44:31] who's just under it is trying to get over it in order to get that benefit, it's a
[02:44:34] really really difficult policy one, i don't
[02:44:37] have the answer,
[02:44:37] i don't think it is, i'd cut the benefit, sorry, unless someone is seriously, seriously ill and
[02:44:41] really really needs this, but i think there's too many people who just swing in the l, you also as
[02:44:45] doctor you've got to be incredibly strong-willed to say no to
[02:44:49] someone, you know someone who's determined to get something for nothing, you've got to be
[02:44:53] incredibly robust and have set of balls on you to say no, i don't
[02:44:57] believe you'. 'and of course that's hardly, well you wouldn't say I don't believe you, but you would
[02:45:00] assess how debilitated this person is, and if you believe
[02:45:04] that they genuinely needed it, but I think that many the doctors just go,
[02:45:08] ah, they can't be bother, I get it, they got to see
[02:45:12] about 15 people a day, and they don't want to
[02:45:14] get into a confrontation, then sign, you got ADHD, yeah, and
[02:45:18] particularly particularly if I'm coming because I'm I'm wanting to get financial benefit out of it,
[02:45:22] clearly I'm going to be lot pushier than doctor, can you tell me what's wrong, and also
[02:45:25] there are all these sort of schools'. tiktok to teach you what you need to say to get
[02:45:29] that benefit and so there you have that as well, well look load still to come here on
[02:45:33] GV News before all of that though, if you're on search of some holiday sun, here's the

[02:49:38] Good evening and welcome to GB News. Britain's number one news channel, I'm
[02:49:42] nannaqueir, welcome on board. All right, we're live on TV online and on
[02:49:45] digital radio at seven, this evening
[02:49:48] it is free speech nation with Josh Howeey and he joins
[02:49:52] us now, Josh, looking for forward to your show, what is coming
[02:49:55] up? well nana, they made a cheer and cry, how
[02:49:59] dare they? so we're going to have debate and we're going to have a monologue at the very top
[02:50:03] the show, did Macamore get cancelled? uh, we
[02:50:07] also have uh a copywriter and award, copyrighted talking about why
[02:50:11] Sydney Sweeny is genius, we got a debate with vicker
[02:50:15] and someone from Christian Concern about whether the church of England is losing its
[02:50:19] way, there's been some pretty mental developments this week, and finally
[02:50:22] Paramounts leaving California, is this the end of Hollywood? I'm
[02:50:26] joined by the Critical Drinker, it's going to be fantastic show, see you at 7
[02:50:30] o'clock. Wow, all right, Josh Harwe, we'll look forward to that, but right now it's
[02:50:34] time to supplement Sunday, the part the show, where my panel bring the other stories that
[02:50:38] they found in the news this week. me broadcaster and journalist Danny
[02:50:42] Kelly and leader the climate party Ed Gemel. All right, who wants to go
[02:50:45] first? I'll go first. This is petate of mine and it's coming over from
[02:50:49] America and it's all to do with tipping. Now, apparently one in three pubs
[02:50:53] everyone pays by card, right? Very few people, like for example,
[02:50:57] as a car business, we don't accept cash anymore, we haven't accepted cash about three or four
[02:51:01] years, everything's got to be by bank transfer. In pubs everything's by
[02:51:04] cards more or less, and now when you go and put your pin number in it, the thing that greets
[02:51:08] you, besides how much... you w for the round is, would you like to
[02:51:12] leave a gratuity? okay, you've got no, and then you've got yes, and
[02:51:16] you've got the eyes the barman, burning a hole,
[02:51:20] searing through your skull, waiting for you to see which button you're
[02:51:24] going to push, and it's the public pressure, it's the emotional leverage
[02:51:28] of having someone staring at you, saying is he going to say
[02:51:31] yes, and then if you say yes, you're then greeted with another menu, how much do you want to leave,
[02:51:35] 15%, it's coming over from america, i don't like it, i'm
[02:51:38] not a fan of it, don't
[02:51:40] like it either, i don't mind though, the other day i was picked up by a black cab, he was very helpful and
[02:51:44] haven't found tenner in my pockets, so gave him that as tip cuz
[02:51:47] i love black cabs, they're just amazing, all right, ed gemel, got to declare an interest in this
[02:51:51] story this week was the inaugural climate party
[02:51:54] conference, the first ever conference the climate party, and we had it
[02:51:58] in the bruno, in the bruno engine shed, which was you know
[02:52:02] where brunel, so engineer, engineer was very much
[02:52:06] featured in the industrial revolution, part the dust revolution with the se
[02:52:10] seven and a half inch gauge which we should have used instead, we used George
[02:52:13] Stevenson's smaller gauge which and and you and he was building the great
[02:52:16] western railway out from London out to Bristol,
[02:52:20] so so a real industrialist and we had there... some the country's
[02:52:23] top clean industrialist talking about clean construction and that of buildings everything
[02:52:27] else, we have people there talking about tidle power and we were also
[02:52:31] we also had people looking
[02:52:32] at come on
[02:52:36] that's guys vertical farming as
[02:52:40] well where these guys in vertical farming guys you shouldn't be
[02:52:44] taking them you should be
[02:52:46] vertical farmming these vertical farmings they're
[02:52:49] producing the same amount of food over four acres as normal farm would over a
[02:52:53] thousand
[02:52:54] that a farm that grows this is the new clean industry revolution and clean agricultural
[02:52:58] revolution grow upwards then so yeah it's a vertical farm
[02:53:01] inside and in four acres it's producing the same as a thousand acres

[02:53:59] News. Hello there, good afternoon, welcome to our GB news weather
[02:54:03] update from the Met Office. It should be quite a fine end to the day for
[02:54:06] many of us, though a change coming through tonight in the north where we'll eventually
[02:54:10] see more rain coming through, but under clearer skies it will be turning a bit
[02:54:14] chillier than of late. For the time being though, high pressure continues to build
[02:54:18] across the southwest, meaning it should be quite a fine end to the day, plenty of clear.
[02:54:22] skies so eventually across the north we'll start to see more cloud push through
[02:54:26] towards the northwest and eventually through the early hours the morning we'll
[02:54:30] see rain progress through here eventually into northern ireland parts of Scotland and
[02:54:34] Northwest England to the south of this though plenty of clear sky
[02:54:37] so turning a bit chillier here rural areas under the clearest skies could drop down
[02:54:41] to around two to 4°grees celsius so quite a chilly start by the time
[02:54:45] we reach Monday morning for some but
[02:54:48] it is eventually going to start to turn a bit warmer a bit muggier particularly across the
[02:54:52] north. "we'll see some clouds, some rain, this could turn quite persistent across the
[02:54:56] hills of Scotland, also quite cloudy and damp start across Northern
[02:54:59] Ireland. Northern England will see some patchy cloud and possibly some light
[02:55:03] outbacks of rain towards the far northwest. Elsewhere across England and
[02:55:07] Wales though,
[02:55:08] it should be quite a bright start to the day, a little bit chilly,
[02:55:11] some patchy fog in places, though this should soon clear through course
[02:55:14] the the morning and remaining quite dry and settled here with some
[02:55:16] sunshine, towards the north though, different story remaining quite
[02:55:20] cloudy with some rain and drizzle,..." quite persistent around western
[02:55:24] hills through the course the day, much lighter winds and feeling warm
[02:55:28] in the sunshine once again, but return of that muggy feel, temperatures pushing into the
[02:55:32] mid-20s for many areas, including eastern areas of Scotland where they might start
[02:55:36] to see some breaks in the cloud later on into the
[02:55:39] day. now through Monday night there's not much change, there's
[02:55:42] still this north south split in the weather, so plenty of cloud towards the north, some
[02:55:46] rain and drizzle, but some clearer skies towards the south. we'll still
[02:55:50] see plenty of fine weather into next week. some rain and showers across the north at times
[02:55:54] and temperatures eventually returning to more average for this point the
[02:55:57] year. Today's outlook,
[02:56:01] cool, calm and completely horizontal.
