9:03 pm
towards front line policing . towards front line policing. plans to find rough sleepers are provoking outrage , with more provoking outrage, with more than 40 conservative mps said to be preparing to rebel, the new criminal justice law would allow police to fine or move on. so—called nuisance rough sleepers . it was intended to sleepers. it was intended to replace the vagrancy act from 1824, which currently criminalises both rough sleeping and begging. but reports suggest the new bill has been paused while ministers negotiate with mps who are concerned about the consequences of issuing fines to homeless people. the plans were introduced by former home introduced by the former home secretary, suella braverman, who branded rough sleeping a lifestyle choice . more than 5400 lifestyle choice. more than 5400 migrants have been intercepted crossing the english channel in small boats during the first three months of this year. it's a record figure for that quarter, up 43% compared to the same time in 2023, official figures from the home office show 442 people made the
9:04 pm
crossing in nine small boats yesterday. that's despite difficult weather conditions, with lifeboats scrambling to assist some of the arrivals . assist some of the arrivals. today's strong winds have now made the journey completely impassable. all the head of the nurses union has accused the government of packing hospital corridors with patients , and corridors with patients, and says the quality of care is not only undignified but fatally unsafe. it comes as new estimates suggest more than 250 patients a week in england may have died needlessly last year because of long waits for a hospital bed. a report by the royal college of emergency medicine revealed. more than 1.5 million patients waited in emergency departments for longer than 12 hours last year. the department for health says. it added thousands of hospital beds and insists it's making progress on waiting times . and energy on waiting times. and energy bills are due to fall to their lowest rate in two years after the regulator, ofgem , cut its
9:05 pm
the regulator, ofgem, cut its price cap by 12.3. it means the average household bill for gas and electricity will fall by around £238 over the course of a yean around £238 over the course of a year, or about £20 a month. however, around 10 million households are still being urged to submit their metre readings to submit their metre readings to avoid overpayment . for the to avoid overpayment. for the latest stories, you can sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now back to patrick. >> get ready for tent cities full of illegal migrants. i think it's inevitable . and think it's inevitable. and here's why. we had 800 illegal migrants crossing the channel on easter weekend. we are up 43% on this time last year. the total for this year now stands at more than 5000. as of december 2023, there were around 99,000 asylum seeker backlog cases. where do
9:06 pm
we put these people? well, let's look, shall we, at the new migrants accommodation, some of these new large bases, the wethersfield accommodation can house of 1700. well, house a maximum of 1700. well, if we had 800 this weekend, it's reasonable to expect that could be full by the end of the week. raf scampton 800 people that would filled this would have been filled this weekend as well. the bibby stockholm 500 people. so that's been filled in less than a day. so those bases will be full. now let's do migrant hotels . we've let's do migrant hotels. we've closed around 50 of the 400 or so migrant hotels . these people so migrant hotels. these people have been moved from one hotel to another or placed in social housing. so the migrant hotels are full social housing. as of january last year, there were 1.2 million households in england stuck on waiting lists for we have run for social housing. we have run out social housing stock when out of social housing stock when asylum seekers granted asylum seekers are granted asylum, often have 28 days asylum, they often have 28 days to leave a migrant hotel. they then very often go to the top of then very often go to the top of the social housing waiting list as they are at imminent risk of homelessness. so stock
9:07 pm
homelessness. so what stock there is will often go to them, but there isn't enough of it. in the decade to 2022, there was a total loss of 165,000 social total net loss of 165,000 social homes. take the case of milton keynes, where the local council wanted to buy more flats to increase their social housing stock, but was outbid by the home office so they could use those flats for asylum seekers. reportedly so social housing is full. where else put them? full. where else do we put them? student accommodation? well, in huddersfield, were huddersfield, students were turfed make way for turfed out to make way for around 670 asylum seekers, but there are obviously aren't enough student accommodation sites to do this, so they're full. where's the other place for them? well, private sector accommodation in chelmsford. luxury flats are being used despite 400 families living in squalid social housing with damp and mould . in chertsey in and mould. in chertsey in surrey, one bedroom flats going for £300,000 a pop look like they will be used for asylum seekers . but that they will be used for asylum seekers. but that is they will be used for asylum seekers . but that is not seekers. but that is not sustainable. councils and the home office cannot afford to buy posh luxury apartments and fill
9:08 pm
them with asylum seekers. so where does that leave us? well it leaves us with mass asylum seeker homelessness . there was seeker homelessness. there was reportedly a 223% increase in street homelessness for people leaving asylum accommodation between june and september 2023, so some started camping outside a town hall in greater manchester. while there is nowhere to put these people, what's labour's plan? by the way? >> where would you house people who come on small boats if labour win the next election. >> so labour's policy is to not use the hotels by clearing the backlog. this backlog is crossed using barges and military sites. >> no, absolutely no no. >> no, absolutely no no. >> the labour party has said no, we not that. and for we would not use that. and for the the costs are the same reason, the costs are ludicrous. the national audit the same reason, the costs are ludicrchas the national audit the same reason, the costs are ludicrchas the ithe onal audit the same reason, the costs are ludicrchas the ithe costsiudit office has said the costs are ludicrous, but you're not. >> where are you >> i'm asking you, where are you going people going to house people because you're not going able to you're not going to be able to clear backlog in a day clear the backlog in a day or two days. you right? >> they don't have one. and today looking to today rishi sunak is looking to criminalise people who are already homeless in britain. that a tory prime minister
9:09 pm
that is a tory prime minister that, would rather that, it appears, would rather criminalise homeless brits than house them while bending over backwards to accommodate people who have broken this who have broken into this country. record levels. but country. at record levels. but as you have just seen everywhere, obviously is full. so get ready for tent cities of asylum seekers in a town or a city near you. let's get the thoughts now of my panel tonight. we've got political commentator suzanne evans, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, and political editor of the express , political editor of the express, sam lister. suzanne, where are we going to put these people? the uncomfortable truth, as far as i can see it, is that we are going to have tent cities of asylum seekers popping up around going to have tent cities of asyiuk. seekers popping up around the uk. >> well, think the uk. >> well, i think you summed it up beautifully, patrick. just the that we're the huge pressure that we're seeing accommodation and seeing now on accommodation and that be only that does seem to be the only answer, actually answer, but i'm actually a little worried than little bit more worried than that because . i think this is that because. i think this is all getting very sinister. now we know that we've had people
9:10 pm
who their who have been told that their properties are going to be compulsorily for compulsorily purchased for asylum much asylum seekers. that pretty much tears rights tears up private property rights in listening in this country. i was listening to on the way here, to the radio on the way here, and they were talking about a massive britain , massive problem facing britain, which older people living in which was older people living in houses too big houses that were, quote, too big for them. who's got a right to tell your house is too for tell you your house is too for big you should be allowed to live where you darn well like. big you should be allowed to live the re you darn well like. big you should be allowed to live the implication well like. big you should be allowed to live the implication wellvery. and the implication was very clear are clear these elderly people are taking that they taking houses that they shouldn't and i feel shouldn't have, and i feel that's that there'll be that's a worry that there'll be some kind of move to get them out of those houses. we've also had the horrible scenario last week when matthew parris, writing in the times, talked about how euthanasia wouldn't be about how euthanasia wouldn't be a bad thing if it encouraged elderly people to hasten their own deaths. so what? got own deaths. so what? we've got to clogs, have we to pop our clogs, have we forcibly when we're 60, 70, 80, 90, earlier if we're not 90, perhaps earlier if we're not productive people in society? as matthew parris said it. so i think the whole thing now is getting really, really sinister and scary. >> all right, look, benjamin, we've got people coming in record 43% up on this record numbers 43% up on this time year .
9:11 pm
record numbers 43% up on this time year. well, obviously time last year. well, obviously not really deporting anyone, are we. the uncomfortable truth is that talk about that no one wants to talk about where these people are where on earth these people are going i mean, i think going to live. i mean, i think there are two problems. >> is that clearly rishi >> one is that clearly rishi sunak's has totally failed. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey has totally failed. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey made as totally failed. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey made a totally failed. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey made a tot.dealailed. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey made a tot.deal atad. >> one is that clearly rishi surthey made a tot.deal at the >> they made a big deal at the latter half of last year about talking about numbers talking about the numbers falling, fell . falling, but they only fell. because there was bad weather, so it was even more dangerous to cross in the channel and actually, put some cross in the channel and actuallyin put some cross in the channel and actuallyin this, put some cross in the channel and actuallyin this, whenome cross in the channel and actuallyin this, when we're context in this, when we're thinking when general thinking about when the general election he election is going to be if he does that in october or november, be after november, it will be after a summer sort of chaos, summer of this sort of chaos, which very unhelpful which will be very unhelpful for them. is that them. what i'd also say is that them. what i'd also say is that the someone to the average wait for someone to be asylum be processed in an asylum claim is weeks, which an is 82 weeks, which is an incredible amount time. it's incredible amount of time. it's double years ago. double what it was 15 years ago. and when you're looking at and so when you're looking at where people where you put these people that are asylum, the are applying for asylum, the fact is if they dealt with fact is that if they dealt with the much quicker, the cases much quicker, then you wouldn't sheer numbers languishing. >> yeah. but then with respect to let's say we accepted the vast majority of those people, which will, which we unquestionably will, they have to they still have to live somewhere then. and that's another problem, isn't it? because have because we just don't have accommodation
9:12 pm
because we just don't have accommodai'm saying, that's what i'm saying, is they're get given they're going to get given something move something like 28 days to move out hotel or a base or out of a hotel or a base or something and they are out something, and then they are out there streets, and that's there on the streets, and that's how with these how we end up with these tent cities. >> but just point out >> but i would just point out that about the that when you talk about the housing have at housing crisis, which we have at every know, very well every level, you know, very well paid and people paid young people and people that need council housing can't get absolute get properties. it's an absolute nightmare, let alone asylum seekers. 40,000 of seekers. there's about 40,000 of these a year and we're these people a year and we're missing million missing about 4 million homes. so it's in a very different proportion what's being proportion to what's being caused in small boats, caused by people in small boats, isn't it? >> 1.2 million people coming >>1.2 million people coming here? that's a city the size of birmingham. every other year coming there's birmingham. every other year cominto there's birmingham. every other year cominto be there's birmingham. every other year cominto be a there's birmingham. every other year cominto be a housing here's birmingham. every other year cominto be a housing crisis. going to be a housing crisis. and yet most commentators, most politicians don't want to address this. >> well, there's a housing crisis because of your crisis because people of your generation bothered generation are more bothered about building about golf courses than building properties, about golf courses than building propert right, sam , about golf courses than building propertright, sam , look, we are >> all right, sam, look, we are i am, i am calling it right now. we are going to end up with rows and rows of tents in a variety of different towns and cities that asylum seekers that are full of asylum seekers who the best case scenario who have the best case scenario being asylum . yeah. being granted asylum. yeah. >> look, i mean, the four
9:13 pm
accommodation blocks you mentioned, one of them scampton. there's pressures on that. there's huge pressures on that. that's it doesn't look like it's ever going to get off the ground, the hotels were paying £8 million a day. obviously, we're trying to stop that. there's pressure there's so much pressure already, can come up already, but nobody can come up with a solution about the hotels are unacceptable. the raaf base is unacceptable. the student accommodation is unacceptable. there is nowhere that is acceptable for these asylum seekers to go en masse to local populations, which means dispersing them, which means then you lose track of them as a nation. that's a big problem nation. and that's a big problem for the government. so it just there solution to this there is no solution to this problem. that is obvious. and so i think you do end up where you say, patrick, you do end up with these cities. already these tent cities. we've already seen actually, seen that in the past. actually, we hyde park, that we saw that in hyde park, that mainly coming mainly people who were coming from up from abroad were setting up tents hyde bathing tents in hyde park, bathing in the fountain there that had to be closed, urinating seven on the over seven memorial, you know, this is a problem that has been around for a while, and it's only going to get worse.
9:14 pm
>> and no party wants to >> yeah, and no party wants to engage with this debate now, which we've got 43% rise which is we've got a 43% rise that's to everyone that's going to grow everyone can see that. we are not going to the boats. not got to stop the boats. we've not got a deterrent . we're not deporting a deterrent. we're not deporting anybody. the numbers are going to coming. and one wants to keep coming. and no one wants to keep coming. and no one wants to the idea of what to engage with the idea of what the these the heck you do with these people. that's absolutely right. >> no, that's absolutely right. there's to in there's only one thing to do in my is to stop them getting my boat is to stop them getting here moment land on our here the moment they land on our shores. boat, on shores. back on a boat, back on a somewhere. anywhere but a plane, somewhere. anywhere but here. only way here. that's the only way there's be a deterrent. there's going to be a deterrent. patrick, a great patrick, you had a great exclusive, didn't you? a few weeks ago? said rwanda's not a deterrent them . you know, deterrent for them. you know, this has got to be a really, really hard, hard line. now, 120,000 total since 2018. 120,000 in total since 2018. that scares the pants off me, frankly. yeah because we don't know where. >> benjamin. the only way, the only way to stop tent cities is to boats coming now. to stop the boats coming now. >> agrees you >> well, everyone agrees you should no >> well, everyone agrees you shotbesides no >> well, everyone agrees you shotbesides the no >> well, everyone agrees you shotbesides the smugglers one besides the people smugglers that people die for that are letting people die for profit advocates for that to happen. to say that people happen. but to say that people that those asylum seekers, many happen. but to say that people th.whome asylum seekers, many happen. but to say that people th.whom are .ylum seekers, many happen. but to say that people th.whom are going seekers, many happen. but to say that people th.whom are going toekers, many happen. but to say that people

9:16 pm
said this. the unacceptable number of people who continue to cross english channel cross the english channel demonstrates must demonstrates exactly why we must get flights rwanda off the get flights to rwanda off the ground possible. we ground as soon as possible. we remain committed to building on the arrivals the successes that saw arrivals drop than a third last drop by more than a third last yean drop by more than a third last year, including tougher legislation, agreements with international partners in order to and stop the to save lives and stop the boats. i'm calling it here right now. play the tape forward . it now. play the tape forward. it is tent cities in a town or city near you. but still to come as a former standards watchdog boss now calls for a full police investigation into angela rayner . could her hypocrisy over her alleged council house tax scandal bring serious trouble to the labour party's door editor of guido fawkes, who's been leading the charge on this? paul staines. he's been across the story since day one. i'm very pleased to say he joins soon, pleased to say he joins us soon, but next, this easter's lord's prayer live on the prayer broadcast live on the bbc, had a new international twist . twist. >> we pray the words that jesus taught us, each in our own language, led this morning in urdu . urdu. >> but should the church of
9:17 pm
england stop pandering to other cultures? former labour spokesman james matthewson goes head to head with conservative home columnist harry next home columnist harry phibbs next sparks will stay tuned
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
9:20 pm
this -- this is patrick christys. tonight only on gb news. coming up is angela rayner. a massive hypocrite? but first, it's time
9:21 pm
for our head to head. now, it may be the easter holidays, but that hasn't stopped the church of england from sparking outrage after the lord's prayer was read in urdu during an easter sunday service at canterbury cathedral yesterday, we prayed the words that jesus taught us, each in our own language, led this morning . in urdu. morning. in urdu. >> our father to joie's maain tere naam pak mana gi teri, badshahi masjid , asmaan puri . badshahi masjid, asmaan puri. >> well, with stunts like that, it's hardly a surprise that church attendance has dropped off after almost 300 off a cliff after almost 300 parishes in the past parishes shuttered in the past five years. and could that be because of their relentless virtue signalling campaign? here's woke archbishop here's the woke archbishop justin welby, recently wishing all muslims peace and joy during ramadan. >> greetings to muslims at the start of the month of ramadan. i wish you peace and joy as you
9:22 pm
begin this extraordinary and special time of prayer, fasting and spiritual reflection . and spiritual reflection. >> last week, the flag of pakistan was hoisted to the top of westminster abbey to mark pakistan's resolution day. and that comes just weeks after the church trying to church was slammed for trying to hire so—called anti—racism officers and for setting aside a whopping £1 billion for slavery reparation payments. and to top it all off, the church has also been accused of becoming a conveyor belt for fake asylum seeker conversions. easy for me to say. so after the lord's prayer was read in urdu on easter sunday. should the church of england stop pandering to other cultures? know your other cultures? let me know your thoughts. me gb or thoughts. email me gb views or gb com at gb news gb news. com tweet me at gb news while there, go and vote while you're there, go and vote in our the will in our poll. the results will follow shortly , but doing follow very shortly, but doing battle the battle on this now. the columnist conservativehome, columnist for conservativehome, harry phibbs, and former labour party james matthewson party spokesman james matthewson shapps. thank you very much. great to have you both on the show, with show, harry. i'll start with you. church you. should the church stop pandenng you. should the church stop pandering othercultures, you. should the church stop pandering other cultures, it should. >> and that's not to say that we
9:23 pm
should be inward looking . should be inward looking. >> it's absolutely important that that christianity flourishes around the world. there 8 billion of us and over a over a quarter, i think 2.3 billion of us on the planet are christians . and it's humbling christians. and it's humbling that christianity is growing in many countries, despite the persecution christians are suffering. and i think it would be good if the church of england actually actually spoke up more about about that. but it's that does not follow at all that the church should be abandoning our traditions. certainly shouldn't shouldn't be dispensing with the engush shouldn't be dispensing with the english language. the tradition is a huge asset, and it's incredibly arrogant for people to feel that they can. they can fade away rather, that we should be reasserting that traditional strength. there's such a beauty and such a power in the king james bible and the 1662 book of
9:24 pm
common prayer. and so , rather common prayer. and so, rather than just going for passing fashion, we should emphasise the timelessness of that message. and that people who are attracted to go to church because they enjoy that tradition and they might be struggling with their faith, we should be giving them , giving should be giving them, giving them that, that, that strength. and that's what the church of england should be doing, saying what a what an amazing thing. the and the resurrection is and what a fantastic, extraordinary sacrifice that that was. and we should stop pandering to. >> and i'll come back to you. all right. okay. james i mean, is this just more needless virtue signalling from the church? meanwhile, people are leaving their leaving christianity in their droves and churches are being shuttered . shuttered. >> yeah. as an agnostic atheist, i would believe that the reason for people leaving the church is less to do with them. virtue signalling or so—called virtue signalling. and more to do with the fact more and more people
9:25 pm
are realising that god isn't real. however i are realising that god isn't real. howeveri never thought real. however i never thought i would see going into bat would see myself going into bat for of england. for the church of england. however, i think a however, i do think this is a totally fair thing do . any totally fair thing to do. any institution, any organisation that people and its that represents people and its members should be accessible, if you've got people who are speaking different languages coming to take part in your community, then surely that's a good thing. and i just can't help but think about a fascinating, fascinating to hear you say what you just said, harry, when it comes to the fact that i think if you asked henry the eighth people the eighth if people were speaking, know, about his speaking, you know, about his religion, church in multiple religion, his church in multiple languages and different languages and different languages from different corners languages and different la|theiges from different corners languages and different la|the world,»m different corners languages and different la|the world, that fferent corners languages and different la|the world, that he �*ent corners languages and different la|the world, that he would �*ners languages and different la|the world, that he would see; of the world, that he would see that as a good thing. as all christians know do see that christians i know do see that as a thing, it means a good thing, because it means more taking part . more people are taking part. more the more people are spreading the message, more people are spreading the me yeah. do want to come >> yeah. do you want to come back to that then, harry? >> well, around the world, christianity is, is on the rise. and so the church of england should be reflecting on what
9:26 pm
it's doing wrong given given the given the spread of christianity across the world and the english language, to use a work terms is inclusive and many, many people would would speak it would find it much easier from all sorts of different languages. that's a great it's a great strength to preach the gospel in english. and the idea that that, that that should be abandoned. but of course, it's not just this latest thing. i mean, we've had, we've had the most appalling, intrusion into all this identity politics that, i mean, the church are supporting black lives matter , that very lives matter, that very divisive, extreme group was, was, was a complete antithesis of the idea of christianity, which that we're all equal in the eyes of god . we're all, you the eyes of god. we're all, you know, that that we should have a colour—blind approach valuing each individual, we saw the archbishop of canterbury getting involved in economics, saying
9:27 pm
saying , you know, that he saying, you know, that he supports overseas aid, whereas it's, many of us would feel that the way eliminate poverty is the way to eliminate poverty is through, capitalism and free trade rather than through socialism. and it shouldn't the church should not get involved in these arguments about economics. it should not get involved in identity politics. it should get involved in converting people to christianity and preaching the gospel, in spreading the good news that we're that we're celebrating at this. >> okay, james. yep. all right. look, james, you know, we've got we've archbishop doing, we've got the archbishop doing, you happy ramadan you know, a happy ramadan message. prayer on message. we've got a prayer on easter sunday in urdu. we've got the pakistan flying the flag of pakistan flying above westminster abbey. i mean, why on earth do you think that the church of england is trying to pander to cultures? or i to pander to cultures? or dare i even religions that even say, other religions that actually give toss ? actually just don't give a toss? >> well, how is it pandering? i don't understand how it's pandering. you know, at the end of the day, it's saying and
9:28 pm
acknowledging other religions. christians have more in common with than have in with muslims than they have in common they common with me, because they both god. i don't both believe in a god. i don't believe a god . so they're believe in a god. so they're looking out for other. looking out for each other. they're each they're talking about each other's religions. they're inclusive. jesus is in the quran. for faith quran. it makes sense for faith leaders to talk about other faith leaders, to hear what the pope's been saying over easter, as well. talking about other religions, talk religions, they always talk about in jerusalem during the baldwin in jerusalem during the crusades, during the period of trying to make peace between islam and christianity, you know, used to welcome muslim celebrations. and that's just the same as what's happening now. the fact that we say engush now. the fact that we say english as a language is inclusive . it's only inclusive inclusive. it's only inclusive if you speak it. if you want to spread your religion , you want spread your religion, you want to spread your message, which, look, not up me whether look, it's not up to me whether that i couldn't that happens or not. i couldn't care am not part of care less as i am not part of the church. but want to the church. but if you want to spread message, making spread that message, making it inclusive do not inclusive to people who do not speak are more speak it, there are more christians the world do christians in the world who do not speak english than there are christians speak it christians who speak english. it is religion and is not an english religion and it is not exclusive to england. >> i mean, the yeah, i get that,
9:29 pm
but mean, the church of but i mean, the church of england what it's england is literally what it's called. but i do take your point of view. thank you very, very much. as a columnist for conservative home, harry phibbs and the former labour party spokesman matthews, look, spokesman james matthews, look, who agree the who do you agree with as the lord's read urdu? lord's prayer is read in urdu? should england should the church of england stop pandering to other cultures? says it's cultures? olivia on x says it's time the church of england started concentrate on its started to concentrate on its own fleeing flocks. they've joined the brigade and joined the woke brigade and neglected what were meant neglected what they were meant to wants to get to do. if welby wants to get into politics, he should leave and let someone who cares about the the job. rosalind the church do the job. rosalind on to break this to on x says sorry to break this to you, wasn't originally on x says sorry to break this to you, in wasn't originally on x says sorry to break this to you, in english. 't originally on x says sorry to break this to you, in english. jesus|inally on x says sorry to break this to you, in english. jesus spoke said in english. jesus spoke aramaic. yeah, okay. your aramaic. yeah, okay. and your verdict is now in. 73% of you think that the church of england should stop pandering, whilst 27% of you say they shouldn't. coming up with the polls showing that the reform party is tapping into unresolved public concerns over immigration, are they now beating the tories in the for war britain's right wing academic and pollster matthew
9:30 pm
goodwin offers his forensic analysis, and also on the topic as well, that 1 in 5 labour voters apparently do not back starmer . on that as angela starmer. on that note, as angela rayners refuses to provide her personal tax information. this is today's development . a former is today's development. a former standards watchdog boss is now calling for her to be investigated by the police. is the labour deputy leader running on borrowed time? the editor of guido fawkes, paul staines , guido fawkes, paul staines, who's been leading the charge on this,
9:31 pm
9:32 pm
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
next. this is patrick christys. tonight we are only on gb news. still to come, the tories and reform officially went to war today. okay, but who is going to win that war for the right wing in british politics, academic and pollster matthew goodwin gives his unrivalled insight. but first, the angela rayner council house scandal is rumbling on, despite her repeated denials that she's not done anything wrong or owes any unpaid taxes. >> since those allegations were put to me, i got expert advice because i had advice at the time, i don't i don't have an accountant. i was a home care worker, you know, i didn't have an accountant. i had, as most people would. your house people would. you put your house on market, you get a legal on the market, you get a legal conveyancing solicitor and you get an estate agent. but since those allegations were put to me, i got expert tax advice to make sure that i hadn't done anything wrong. >> yeah. all right. publish it then. well, her boss, keir
9:35 pm
starmer, was, as we know , starmer, was, as we know, satisfied that she'd done nothing wrong . nothing wrong. >> she's not broken any rules. she's in fact taken legal and tax advice, which has satisfied her and us and me. >> but in the latest sign that this is obviously not going away over the weekend, the former head of the standards watchdog , head of the standards watchdog, sir alistair graham, has now called for a full police investigation into the tax row over the sale of rayner's council house. let's not forget the obvious hypocrisy here. angela rayner is still refusing to share her tax affairs or the advice she received, but was happy to launch her own determined against determined campaign against rishi wife to answer rishi sunak's wife to answer detailed questions about her own taxes. in 2022, despite taxes. back in 2022, despite mrs. sunak not even being a politician. one journalist who has been leading the way on this story is the editor of guido fawkes. it's paul staines, paul , fawkes. it's paul staines, paul, thank you very, very much. is angela rayner now on borrowed time the latest development ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7—
9:36 pm
>> i think she's em ? >> i think she's in a difficult situation and the thing i don't understand is if i had just got tax advice that exonerated me , tax advice that exonerated me, i'd had two months of people taking pot shots at me and demanding explanation. i would pubush demanding explanation. i would publish advice . that's the publish the advice. that's the easy way for her to exonerate herself. >> yeah, and this latest development about the former head of the standards watchdog saying that she should face a full police investigation. how significant ? significant is that? >> well, to be honest, that's the calls for the graham always calls for a significant investigation, doesn't so can't really. he significant investigation, dca;n't so can't really. he significant investigation, dca bit so can't really. he significant investigation, dca bit of so can't really. he significant investigation, dca bit of a so can't really. he significant investigation, dca bit of a renter't really. he significant investigation, dca bit of a renter quote.y. he significant investigation, dca bit of a renter quote. bute is a bit of a renter quote. but i do agree with him for this time , he's onto something that time, he's onto something that she can't really see. she can't do any tv interviews without the subject coming up . she's gone on subject coming up. she's gone on softball interviews with gmb and the friendliest of interviewers have gone for her, and it doesn't make any sense. she keeps going on about things keeps on going on about things like a mother, like she was a single mother, she wasn't parliament. she wasn't in parliament. well, when tax return the when she did the tax return the year after she sold the property, she was an mp. so it's not ancient history ? not ancient history? >> no, it's not ancient history.
9:37 pm
i mean, the other thing is that it might not even be that much of a significant amount of money. have money. so she could have just paid admitted the of paid this, admitted the error of her and on from it her ways, and moved on from it all. be hoisted by her all. could she be hoisted by her own calling own petard here, calling for other calling for other people to go, calling for things decency things like decency and integrity of integrity in politics? all of that jazz and then here we are right now with this. could this be her undoing ? be her undoing? >> well, she's for >> well, she's called for transparency she's refusing transparency and she's refusing to do it. you know, she there is a lot of glee, i have to say, on the side of the the opposite side of the benches, they be the benches, where they be on the receiving and receiving end of tirades and letters she has letters from her, where she has demanded people resign, demanded that people resign, pubush demanded that people resign, publish their tax returns, all that of stuff. and now we that kind of stuff. and now we find out we don't even know where she did our tax returns from. which house was it? you know, there's a lot of, schadenfreude . schadenfreude. >> a lot of people are concerned, though, paul, about the nature of a police investigation. i mean, they did say looked at it say that they looked at it initially , and then it emerged initially, and then it emerged that perhaps hadn't that perhaps they hadn't actually relevant actually spoken to relevant witnesses or indeed looked at key documents. think that key documents. and i think that does raise serious questions about potentially, maybe bias
9:38 pm
about potentially, maybe a bias within the actual police force. >> well, the first the first, police response was basically , police response was basically, we're not interested. it's ancient history. and then they got a they got the, the local mp, neighbouring mp said, hold on a second. there's a procedure with political sensitive cases where there's a single point of contact where it's dealt with, and there is obviously local police are a bit nervous when they're dealing with politicians . and over the years there has been a protocol developed and greater manchester police should follow we follow that, not just go. we don't want to know about it. it's too, too, too much hassle. >> also, another standout thing, i from starmer i think, from keir starmer himself that he says that himself is that he says that he's satisfied with everything that the evidence is absolutely fine as far as he's concerned. but he's refusing to actually look at the evidence himself. isn't he ? isn't he? >> that latest speech, that clip you gave, he did go a little bit further than before, but in the past very careful past he's been very careful with his says he's his words. he says he's satisfied with what angela rayner , and he's very
9:39 pm
rayner tells him, and he's very careful to point out, as he did in the last, interview, say, that he hasn't actually seen the evidence . and i think that's evidence. and i think that's because he's a bit concerned that the evidence is paper thin. and him, if he'd seen it, he'd have his hands in the blood, so to speak. so he doesn't really want to look too closely because like the rest of he probably like the rest of us, he probably thinks doesn't really up. >> and look, you've been >> no. and look, you've been around the game a heck of a long time. you've seen them all come and situations , and go. you've seen situations, frankly, exactly this. how frankly, exactly like this. how does this end? paul >> whether rest of >> depends whether the rest of the media wants to follow it or not. if there's a loud enough demand from, the press in general, then it will be difficult. i think it's gonna be difficult. i think it's gonna be difficult for her not to resolve this one way or another before the election, because if the general election, because if she , the best thing for she doesn't, the best thing for her to do is to come clean. now rather than get pushed out later when something comes out, that is, it is terrible for her. if
9:40 pm
she says, oh, i don't really understand these things, i've underpaid . sorry, it'll be underpaid. sorry, it'll be embarrassing, but i think she should pull the plaster off now. >> okay. and keir starmer does appean >> okay. and keir starmer does appear. obviously he is backing it at the moment. i mean, how much of a problem would it be, hypothetically, did have hypothetically, if he did have to deputy leader to replace his deputy leader because they're elected by the members, because they're elected by the me be ars, because they're elected by the me be it;, because they're elected by the me be it would be terrible for >> be it would be terrible for him because the rules of the labour that you have labour party say that you have to an election. to have an election. >> deputy leadership and the >> the deputy leadership and the current situation gaza is current situation where gaza is the issues around, israel and palestine are dividing the labour party. it's i'm pretty certain that somebody, who's got a very different position to the current labour party position, which has been difficult to get, and the leadership has steamrollered position onto steamrollered that position onto them, which is middle of the road and not not, pro, hamas. let's put it that way. whereas who knows, in a, in a deputy leadership campaign , i'm pretty leadership campaign, i'm pretty certain the winner of that deputy would
9:41 pm
deputy leadership campaign would be wing and very pro palestine. >> yeah. and just one final one with you, paul. just slightly off moving it on off topic. moving it on slightly. seen what's slightly. we've seen what's happened border happened north of the border in scotland. this, hate scotland. okay. with this, hate crime which seconded scotland. okay. with this, hate crimforced which seconded scotland. okay. with this, hate crimforced through seconded scotland. okay. with this, hate crimforced through asseconded scotland. okay. with this, hate crimforced through as well ded scotland. okay. with this, hate crimforced through as well by! and forced through as well by laboun and forced through as well by labour, i wonder how long it would be in this country under a labour government where they will presumably be a lot of representation for the snp in westminster, there would westminster, where there would obviously representation westminster, where there would obviouslylib representation westminster, where there would obviouslylib dems'esentation westminster, where there would obviouslylib dems anditation westminster, where there would obviouslylib dems and them westminster, where there would obviouslylib dems and the greens from the lib dems and the greens as if we end up seeing as well, if we end up seeing other stuff like that in westminster put through by a labour government for the, for the whole of the uk, your views on that , patrick? on that, patrick? >> i bet you within 12 months yvette cooper will have you and me in neighbouring cells in the gulag . gulag. >> well, there we go. as long as we can talk to each other through the vents. paul, thank you very, much. that's paul you very, very much. that's paul stains guido fawkes. stains there from guido fawkes. look. manchester stains there from guido fawkes. look. spokespersonchester stains there from guido fawkes. look. spokespersonchestthis stains there from guido fawkes. look. spokesperson chestthis . police spokesperson said this. we have received a complaint regarding our decision, not to investigate an allegation and are in the process of reassessing this decision. the
9:42 pm
complainant will be updated with the of the reassessment the outcome of the reassessment in due course. angela rayner has previously stated being able to buy my council house back in two thousand and seven was a proud moment for me. i worked hard , moment for me. i worked hard, saved and bought it by the book. i'm ashamed, am angry i'm not ashamed, but i am angry that tories since put that the tories have since put the a secure home out the dream of a secure home out of reach for many others. look, the developments today is the latest developments today is that of the that the former head of the standards called that the former head of the standfull called that the former head of the standfull police called that the former head of the standfull police investigation.| for a full police investigation. we await to see what the police do with that. we also await to see how keir could see how long keir starmer could stand there was stand by her if there was a police investigation . and again, police investigation. and again, i emphasise is if i will emphasise that is an if okay, if there was a police investigation, would angela rayner to step down rayner not have to step down whilst that happened? and what you just heard there from paul staines, you just heard there from paul stai might as well just publish she might as well just publish the information now. okay. why would you, if you had received categorical cast iron, completely exonerating advice from a reputable source, why would you continue to withhold that and take pot shots and have this hanging over your head? and
9:43 pm
why would the labour leader, her boss, deliberately not look at that information? does anybody else think maybe smells else think maybe this smells a little bit off again? angela rayner obviously denies any wrong doing, but as we are seeing , this is simply not going seeing, this is simply not going away. coming up, seeing, this is simply not going away. coming up , you've seen it away. coming up, you've seen it all before from humza yousaf, but who remembers this from the leader of scottish labour? every director of a department in scotland, white, every principal of a college or university in scotland, white, every headteacher in scotland, white. while the snp, with the backing of scottish labour, has today passed hate crime laws that look set to stifle free speech and debate in your own home, i explain what that could mean for ordinary scots, but also everybody else in the rest of the uk. but next, reports show that the tory party is haemorrhaging voters to reform uk . now richard tice party is uk. now richard tice party is focusing on unresolved concerns over legal and illegal
9:44 pm
migration. they have gone to war today, officially, now reforming the tories. so who will win that war? okay could the tories be displaced? pollster and academic matthew goodwin wades in on that. and
9:45 pm
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now coming up, could the snp's chilling hate crime bill spread south of the border? but first, richard tice tice has sensationally declared full scale war on the tories after an alarming war of words broke out over the weekend. so the conservative party chairman, richard holden, branded the reform uk leader a threatening bully. but when it comes to the polls , reform are winning the polls, reform are winning the battle, it seems, with the latest survey showing that tice's party could cost the tories a whopping 50 seats at the general and the next general election and a new report out today had shed some light on reform uk's success. they're tapping into
9:48 pm
the concerns. shock, the public concerns. shock, horror. thought it horror. who'd have thought it about immigration? i'm about immigration? well, i'm joined man behind joined now by the man behind that report, the pollster, the academic goodwin . matt, academic matthew goodwin. matt, thank you very, very much. look, i'll you straight who is i'll ask you straight who is going to win this war between reform and the tories? >> well, look, i mean, if rishi sunak and number 10 don't get that party vote down in that reform party vote down in the polls, then richard tyson , the polls, then richard tyson, nigel farage and reform, they're going to end up costing the conservatives the next election. >> the reality, patrick, is they're picking up about a third of the people who voted conservative they're of the people who voted conser of ive they're of the people who voted conserof ive conservatives'e of the people who voted conserof ive conservatives among ahead of the conservatives among working class voters, northerners, men. >> so this is a revolt on the right that's getting stronger, not weaker, as each day replaces the last. >> and immigration is the big battleground as far as you're concerned. and the tories are losing that to reform. are they? >> done survey >> yeah. we just done a survey with legatum institute of with the legatum institute of 3400 reform party voters. these are people who are planning to vote reform at the general
9:49 pm
election. and we just asked them, are top them, what are your top concerns? stopping concerns? number one, stopping the boats. number two, the small boats. number two, lowering the overall level of immigration in the country. and those two immigration concerns are well ahead of anything else about economy, the nhs about the economy, about the nhs . and then we said to those voters, look, what would bring you back the conservatives you back to the conservatives and, well, for most of them nothing bring them back. nothing will bring them back. i mean, that's the real problem for for 40% of mean, that's the real problem for patrick, for 40% of mean, that's the real problem for patrick, they for 40% of mean, that's the real problem for patrick, they said,10% of mean, that's the real problem for patrick, they said, look,f them, patrick, they said, look, if conservatives make a big, if the conservatives make a big, bold offer on immigration, maybe they maybe they offer a national referendum, maybe they say we'll reduce net migration to 100,000 a instead of 700,000. they a year instead of 700,000. they might voting might consider voting conservative again. but look, this is bad news for rishi sunak these reform party voters, they look pretty sticky to me. well a few hours ago it emerged that reform uk have pledged to hold a referendum on net zero. >> do you think that's. referendum on net zero. >> do you think that's . another >> do you think that's. another thing to make? rishi sunak worried? >> well, look, i mean net zero, there's no question that reform
9:50 pm
voters don't like net zero policies. survey, we policies. in our own survey, we found 10 of them. found 7 in 10 of them. just think net policies think that net zero policies have britain worse have made made britain a worse place . i the place to live. i think the problem for reform is out there in country. net zero isn't in the country. net zero isn't a game in that, say, game changer in a way that, say, immigration is 80% of all seats in britain. patrick have majority support for lowering migration. net zero. yes, it annoys some people. it annoys, you know, people dealing with the ulez cameras. it annoys people changing the pumps and the cars . but it's not a game the cars. but it's not a game changer issue in the way that mass immigration is. so if i was richard or if was richard tice or if i was advising tice , i'd be advising richard tice, i'd be saying, actually there's only three should be three issues you should be talking immigration, talking about immigration, immigration, immigration. okay >> and again, over the weekend i saw some polling that appeared to suggest that maybe rishi sunak would his own seat . i sunak would lose his own seat. i mean, do you think that that is even a possibility ? even a possibility? >> well, this is a big mrp poll, patrick, that we saw. the first thing say is the tories are thing to say is the tories are so weak in the national polls are on 20, 21. anything is
9:51 pm
possible. i mean, we haven't really seen numbers like this since the spring of 2019, when theresa may and the conservatives meltdown. theresa may and the consof/atives meltdown. theresa may and the consof course, meltdown. theresa may and the consof course, unlike meltdown. theresa may and the consof course, unlike then, iown. and of course, unlike then, there johnson there is no boris johnson waiting in the wings. so, you know, the conservative know, yes, the conservative party freefall. however, party is in freefall. however, this election , this far out from an election, an mrp, polls which are really big opinion polls, you know, they don't really have as much power as they might do a month out from an election. so take everything that you're hearing with a pinch of salt. but make no mistake, tories are the no mistake, the tories are the tories basically collapsing. no mistake, the tories are the torieto basically collapsing. no mistake, the tories are the torieto honestly collapsing. no mistake, the tories are the torieto honest with.lapsing. no mistake, the tories are the torieto honest with you, ng. and to be honest with you, patrick, sure where the patrick, i'm not sure where the floor in the conservative floor is in the conservative vote seeing floor is in the conservative vote on seeing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, seeing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, 22. seeing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, 22. i seeing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, 22. i mean, eeing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, 22. i mean, ieing floor is in the conservative vote on 21, 22. i mean, i don't them on 21, 22. i mean, i don't know this vote is going know how low this vote is going to go. all i know is millions of people there in the country people out there in the country don't really like this conservative don't conservative party. they don't really like what it stands for, and for and they're looking for something and they're looking for sonyeah|g and i hear a >> yeah they are. and i hear a lot of noises when richard tice and people like that are asked, well, hang on a minute, you're and people like that are asked, wellgoing on a minute, you're and people like that are asked, wellgoing tor a minute, you're and people like that are asked, wellgoing to openinute, you're and people like that are asked, wellgoing to openinut
9:52 pm
obliterated there needs care. the tories need to be ob be rated there needs care. the tories need to be ob be ated there needs care. the tories need to be ob be a reinvention. there needs care. the tories need to be ob be a reinvention. andre needs care. the tories need to be ob be a reinvention. and do reeds care. the tories need to be ob be a reinvention. and do yous to be a reinvention. and do you think that this right wing war that we're seeing at the moment will lead to a will essentially lead to a conservative destruction? and then like a phoenix from the ashes, a new version of it being formed, i think we're at the beginning of a prolonged ideological, political, civil war on the right of british politics. >> and i think basically what what that's going to be about is defining what is the new conservatism for the rest of this decade and the 2030. because if you look around the world, patrick, from donald trump's strong numbers in america le pen's america to marine le pen's strong numbers in france to giorgia meloni in italy, to the sweden democrats, to what's going on in portugal and spain , going on in portugal and spain, it's only the british conservatives, which are the centre right party that is basically collapsing and there's something wrong with our brand of conservatism . and of course, of conservatism. and of course, we all know what that is. they
9:53 pm
promise lower immigration, they promise lower immigration, they promise self—governing nation. promise lower immigration, they prom didn'telf—governing nation. promise lower immigration, they prom didn't really»verning nation. promise lower immigration, they prom didn't really»verningon tion. they didn't really deliver on that. we're that. so i think what we're going seeing here is going to end up seeing here is a very battle over the very intense battle over the soul of british conservatism, and suspect at the end of and i suspect at the end of that, we're going to have something some body that looks a lot different from what we've got at the moment. >> yeah. no, exactly. and to just flip it, just to talk a little bit about labour, i saw just before i came on air, actually, i mean, the way the guardian was 4 in actually, i mean, the way the g labour was 4 in actually, i mean, the way the g labour voters was 4 in actually, i mean, the way the g labour voters support was 4 in actually, i mean, the way the g labour voters support keir 4 in 5 labour voters support keir samara. another way of looking at it is that a fifth of labour voters don't support keir starmer, isn't it? i mean, how much is keir starmer in much trouble is keir starmer in when his own base when it comes to his own base here, what here, you know. and what reflection have reflection could that have at a general keir starmer isn't >> well look keir starmer isn't setting on fire. setting the country on fire. i think we all know that there's no mass public enthusiasm for him. his net leadership ratings aren't particularly impressive, especially . compared to previous especially. compared to previous opposition leaders like tony blair, for example, but look, he's doing better than rishi sunak. in he's doing better than rishi sunak . in politics, that's sunak. and in politics, that's really matters, really all that matters, especially in a two party system like you've just do like ours. you've just got to do better other guy . and i
9:54 pm

9:55 pm
chance, actually, that the labour probably labour party would probably come in high 30s, you in at maybe the high 30s, you know, and i suspect know, 40% maybe. and i suspect that very quickly, they will run into some big problems. they won't be able to resolve the illegal migration crisis . they illegal migration crisis. they won't be able to lower legal migration. the economy , as we migration. the economy, as we can see in the forecast, has got low high very low growth, high debt, very expensive debt factored in for the next five or longer . the next five years or longer. it's going to be very difficult for show meaningful for labour to show meaningful progress . public services. we've progress. public services. we've got £20 billion cuts got £20 billion more of cuts coming into public services over the next few years. mean, you the next few years. i mean, you know, blunt , patrick, and know, to be blunt, patrick, and not to be too depressing, but if you think britain is broken now, just wait and see what's going to the next to unfold over the next couple of years. >> look. thank you. what >> matt, look. thank you. what an fantastic an absolutely fantastic political round up covering a whole variety of different topics there from the man himself . topics there from the man himself. it's matt topics there from the man himself . it's matt goodwin, himself. it's matt goodwin, their pollster academic. thank you much. look coming up you very much. look coming up now seriously now the met police seriously said this to a jewish woman. everything needs to be taken within the context, it? within the context, doesn't it? >> a context of why.

10:02 pm
>> patrick. thank you. the top stories campaigners in edinburgh delivered a coffin outside the scottish parliament today, symbolising what they say is the death of free speech. it's after the introduction of a new hate crime law, which makes it a crime law, which makes it a crime to stir up hatred against people with protected characteristics . that includes characteristics. that includes disability, age , sexual disability, age, sexual orientation or people who are transgender. gender critical author jk rowling said it risks authorjk rowling said it risks outlawing genuine debate over biological sex. while some police forces have raised concerns that complaints could be lodged for political reasons, the scottish conservatives say resources should be directed towards frontline policing . more towards frontline policing. more than 5400 migrants have been intercepted crossing the channel intercepted crossing the channel in small boats during the first three months of this year. it's a record figure for that quarter, up 43% compared to the same time last year. official
10:03 pm
figures from the home office show 442 people made the crossing in nine small boats just yesterday. that's despite difficult weather conditions, with lifeboats scrambling to assist some of the arrivals. today's strong winds have now made the journey completely impassable . the uk has dropped impassable. the uk has dropped seven tonnes of aid into gaza as part of continuing airlift relief efforts. the latest round of air aid drops takes the total amount of 235 tonnes parachuted into the palestinian territory over the last week, the defence secretary has posted on x, saying it's part of a sustained effort to provide relief to civilians. several countries have resorted to airdrops to deliver aid to ease the humanitarian crisis in gaza. this latest effort coming as israeli forces left al—shifa hospital in gaza city after a two week operation which left several dead and wounded, the idf said it raided al—shifa
10:04 pm
because hamas had regrouped there . the head of the nurses there. the head of the nurses union has accused the government of packing hospital corridors with patients and says the quality of care is not only undignified but fatally unsafe. it comes as new estimates suggest more than 250 patients a week in england may have died needlessly last year because of long waits for hospital beds, a report by the royal college of emergency medicine revealed. more than 1.5 million patients waited in emergency departments for longer than 12 hours last yeah for longer than 12 hours last year. the department for health says. it added thousands of hospital beds and insists it's making progress on waiting times . and finally, energy bills are due to fall to their lowest rate in two years after the regulator, ofgem , cut its price regulator, ofgem, cut its price cap by 12.3. it means the average household bill for gas and electricity will fall by around £238 over the course of a

10:06 pm
is a question that more people should be asking now. humza yousaf released this video of him doing the islamic prayer in boots house. >> unrwa . a low white blood are >> unrwa. a low white blood are now does humza yousaf imam or any major religious leader with traditional religious views now fall foul of these laws? >> what are his imam's views on sexual orientation or transgender identity? if he expressed those views publicly, would he be a criminal? humza yousaf also said that he wanted scotland to become a country of sanctuary for girls and refugees. well, a survey for bbc news arabic reveals that just 5% of palestinians from the west bank accept gay relationships. more people, 8, viewed honour killings as socially acceptable. well if 95% of palestinian refugees came to scotland welcomed by humza yousaf and
10:07 pm
said what they think about gay people, would they not now be criminals? the bill criminalises hurty words or biological fact. children could report their parents for things said around the dinner table. somebody sitting next to you at a pub could report you for what you say over a pint with your mate, and you will be investigated by the police. police scotland have confirmed they will investigate every single report. humza yousaf is promising you that you have nothing to fear. the only concern you should have when it comes to the new stirring up of the new stirring up offences, is if behaviour is threatening if your behaviour is threatening or abusive and to stir or abusive and intends to stir up hatred. >> by the way , even if that >> and by the way, even if that is the case, there are some defences reasonable defences such as the reasonable person defence and on and so person defence and so on and so forth. your behaviour forth. so unless your behaviour is or abusive and is threatening or abusive and intends stir up hatred, then intends to stir up hatred, then you to about you have nothing to worry about in of the new offences in terms of the new offences being created. in terms of the new offences being c i'mad. sure that's true. >> but i'm not sure that's true. the way the law will be enforced will to down police will come to down police guidance, apparently still
10:08 pm
guidance, which apparently still remains . now, police remains a secret. now, police scotland have simultaneously announced that will no announced that they will no longer be investigating what they class crimes. this they class as minor crimes. this includes smash windows at your home and thefts caught on home and thefts not caught on camera. well, they think this could save them 130,000 police man hours and save them. investigating 24,000 offences a yeah investigating 24,000 offences a year. this frees up time for them to investigate what you say in your own home. but it gets worse. people can report things anonymously. they can go to reporting centres, which include university campuses, as well as a glasgow sex shop and even apparently a salmon factory , apparently a salmon factory, okay, this is who politicians and police think are most likely to commit these crimes. young men with deep rooted feelings of being socially and economically disadvantaged, combined with ideas about white male entitlement that i think is a long winded way of saying the white working class , they want white working class, they want to criminalise the white working class. they want to criminalise
10:09 pm
people as well, like jk rowling . people as well, like jk rowling. now she has given examples today of what she could conceivably be sent to prison for misgendering double rapist isla bryson, who was about to be sent to a women's prison . a six foot five women's prison. a six foot five inch trans paedophile who sexually assaulted children in supermarket toilets. call katie dolmatovsky . he was sent to dolmatovsky. he was sent to a women's prison. a male butcher under the name of amy george , under the name of amy george, abducted an 11 year old girl and sexually abused her over a 27 hour period. should we just bnng hour period. should we just bring their faces up as a collective mugshot? i think so, under this new law, conceivable you could be arrested for calling trans rapist, paedophiles men. that is the reality . but paedophiles men. that is the reality. but this is a much bigger problem than you might realise right now . so labour, realise right now. so labour, the green party, the liberal democrats in scotland, they all back this. in fact here is anas sarwar. the scottish labour sarwar. so the scottish labour leader echoing quite literally actually yousaf , lord president. >> wait, the lord justice clerk
10:10 pm
white, every high court judge white, every high court judge white, the lord advocate white, every director of a department in scotland, white, every principal of a college or university in scotland. >> white. every headteacher in scotland. white. every editor of a news organisation in scotland. white. why? >> well, that is labour okay. has keir starmer come out against this law? not as far as i can tell. at the next election it is expected that labour, the snp, the lib dems and the greens will collectively have a massive majority in the house of commons in westminster. i bet we get this law rolled out in the rest of the united kingdom. your life, i think, is about to be policed by what rabid trans activists, lunatics and open activists, eco lunatics and open border fanatics deemed to be offensive. i have a two word response for those people, but of course i wouldn't want to offend them. let's get the thoughts my panel this thoughts of my panel this evening . i am joined by evening. i am joined by political commentator suzanne evening. i am joined by politic. i've mmentator suzanne evening. i am joined by politictl've gotentator suzanne evening. i am joined by politic. i've got journalist zanne evening. i am joined by politictl've got journalist andie evans. i've got journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth and editor of the
10:11 pm
and the political editor of the express. it's sam lister . express. it's sam lister. suzanne, how likely do you think that we are going to end up being policed by what i would argue is a lot of fanatics. >> it is a lot of fanatics. you're absolutely right that have got a hold and the kind of mainstream of scottish society. and i think you're absolutely right, think it will right, patrick. i think it will eventually , actually, sooner eventually, actually, sooner rather cross rather than later, cross the border, you said , the greens, border, as you said, the greens, the party and the the labour party and the lib dem, of scottish dem, members of the scottish parliament all voted for this. so think, is a very so that i think, is a very clear sign of things to come. we know that labour party in england that the labour party in england is absolutely obsessed with gender identity , with gender identity, with anti —racism, gender identity, with anti—racism, with protecting trans people, women be damned because let's not forget about that, that here in protecting men like the paedophiles that you've just talked about, we are putting women and girls at massive, massive risk, but they don't feature in this act at all. there's no additional support for women here. now, i've long said that the whole
10:12 pm
equality act in england and wales be completely wales should be completely scrapped, we've a scrapped, because we've got to a state where it's kind of state now where it's kind of like breaks everyone in society down into tiny , tiny little down into tiny, tiny little groups. and some groups are protected so so protected and some aren't. so so white working class is not protected. so humza yousaf can make that speech complaining about how everyone, a lot of people in political power in scotland and authority in scotland and authority in scotland white without any scotland are white without any sense of shame whatsoever for what he said was racist. i'm good to see that a lot of people have been complaining about that actually, this new act. actually, under this new act. >> know, children >> look, you know, children reporting parents reporting their own parents going reporting going to anonymous reporting centres. the start, centres. this is the start, isn't it? >> well, of isn't it? >> well, first of all, you've misled people because it is not a crime this proposal, a crime under this proposal, under this new law to misgender someone humza yousaf has said that police scotland has said that police scotland has said that you can say that claim and it is not a crime. so to make any claim of that, as you repeatedly have done in the past ten minutes, false. the ten minutes, is false. the problem is, if you use that to try abuse somebody, which
10:13 pm
try and abuse somebody, which i think would be perfectly legitimate. calling for legitimate. calling me gay, for example, not an insult. but example, is not an insult. but if you shouted at in if you shouted at me in sainsbury's that would be an insult. >> the problem if the >> the problem is, is if the person takes so you're person takes offence so you're right. could say something right. so i could say something or could orjk rowling could say something, if it is deemed something, but if it is deemed to have offence to have caused offence and deemed been quote deemed to have been quote unquote hateful, then it is a crime. misgendering crime. so yes, misgendering someone could be crime under. yes. >> but you know, referring to me as gay man is obviously as a gay man is obviously not offensive. that offensive. but shouting that at me in a supermarket would clearly be a very different thing. same thing. despite being the same word. right? and that is what matters, man. and we already recognise that with lots of ways. and i think what suzanne just under terribly just said was under terribly offensive. in what offensive. really? why? in what way this protecting way is this protecting paedophiles as you just said? >> of course it is. look, these people, you've got men being sent to women's prisons, you've got crimes . statistics got crimes. statistics protecting paedophiles, mystics being completely skewed. we're talking about we're basically in a ridiculous society now where we believe that women can be
10:14 pm
rapists . i mean, it's insane. rapists. i mean, it's insane. absolutely insane. >> actually, that was already that was already the case because you can be an accessory that was already the case be rape. you can be an accessory that was already the case be rape. sou can be an accessory that was already the case be rape. so there be an accessory that was already the case be rape. so there was n accessory that was already the case be rape. so there was n storysory that was already the case be rape. so there wasn story iny to rape. so there was a story in the telegraph. there was a story in telegraph about a year in the telegraph about a year ago, revoke, ago, which they had to revoke, where hundred where they said that hundred several trans people had been convicted of rape, weren't convicted of rape, that weren't that were women, when actually, it turned out it was completely false because could be an false because you could be an accessory under accessory to rape and come under those accessory to rape and come under tho i3 accessory to rape and come under tho i just just to i just >> i just i just want to i just want to point out defending paedophiles repulsive and paedophiles is repulsive and that wrong that jk rowling then is wrong when this is not when he says that this is not about misgendering, because actually the cat has been let out of the bag today by a minister in the scottish government who went on the airwaves, siobhan brown, this morning and said people can be potentially for potentially prosecuted for misgendering somebody that was a scottish minister. so i will take her word for that. >> could i ask you to take the scottish minister, not the scottish minister, not the scottish government, the scottish government, the scottish first minister, police scotland, all of whom have said scottish who sent scottish minister, who was sent out bill on the out to discuss this bill on the airwaves, full well out to discuss this bill on the airw morning. full well this morning. >> editor. so >> political editor. so, so don't woman that's
10:15 pm
don't listen to the woman that's fine. >> e- e— e not listen to the >> we'll not listen to the woman. you think it's okay? woman. do you think it's okay? >> rude? >> do you be so rude? >> do you be so rude? >> you you're rude. are you? >> were talking over me, ben. >> were talking over me, ben. >> do you think >> okay, look, do you not think that maybe that there's maybe also a concern example, we concern that, for example, as we saw of the examples, saw with some of the examples, there, it comes to way there, when it comes to the way that or marriage that gay people or gay marriage is places like is viewed in places like palestine, a sudden humza palestine, all of a sudden humza yousaf says, okay, well, look, we accept however many we will accept however many palestinian etc. and palestinian refugees, etc. and then they land here in this country. and if they actually expressed all of them at expressed not all of them at all, if they of them all, but if they some of them expressed views or some expressed their views or some religious expressed religious leaders expressed their gay or their actual views about gay or trans people, they would actually criminals. trans people, they would act|well, criminals. trans people, they would act|well,it'd criminals. trans people, they would act|well, it'd be criminals. trans people, they would act|well, it'd be interesting to >> well, it'd be interesting to see if this is a one way street or not, it? because at the or not, won't it? because at the moment, obviously the police have is white have suggested it is the white working who the working class who are the most likely foul this. but likely to fall foul of this. but as point out, there as you rightly point out, there are other groups who may fall foul of this if it is applied fairly. and if you go back and look at past polling, for example, of muslims , example, of british muslims, there was one poll that found not of those polled believed not one of those polled believed homosexuality. homosexuality was
10:16 pm
moral . well, there was another moral. well, there was another poll which found, 40% of british muslims believe women should obey the man in a marriage, also that half of those polled did not believe homosexuality should be, gay people should be allowed to marry. so, you know, these are views that many people don't find acceptable . so are these find acceptable. so are these going to be policed too? >> well, this is all the questions that are going be questions that are going to be asked. i fail to see how asked. i mean, i fail to see how something like this isn't rolled out thatis out right across the uk. that is obviously a question for the future. but look, coming up, hospital waiting times have been unked hospital waiting times have been linked to devastating 250 linked even to a devastating 250 deaths a week. but is the real problem ? fat cat nhs managers, problem? fat cat nhs managers, they've got no accountability . they've got no accountability. my they've got no accountability. my panel gets stuck into that shortly. when we bring you the very of tomorrow's very first of tomorrow's newspaper pages. but next newspaper front pages. but next is there any context in which a swastika acceptable ? well, swastika is acceptable? well, the met police think so. policing needs to be taken in context, doesn't it?
10:17 pm
>> but it's a context of why. >> but it's a context of why. >> why does it why does the swastika need context ? swastika need context? >> i am joined by the woman who challenged that police officer. it's documentary filmmaker jocelyn . this is patrick jocelyn weiss. this is patrick christys tonight and we are only on
10:18 pm
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
gb news. coming up, i will have the very
10:21 pm
first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages for you. and there are a couple of corkers on there. they are coming in thick and fast as we speak. but first, yes, well, as yet another pro—palestine march disrupted central saturday. central london on saturday. documentary jocelyn documentary filmmaker jocelyn weiss says that she saw a swastika sign carried by alleged hamas supporters. but when she challenged the watching police officers to take action, this is what she was told to walk with me because i can point these people out to you. >> and again, i was told when i asked that a swastika was not necessarily anti—semitic or disruptive to public order. >> seem to me. everything needs to be taken >> everything needs to be taken in context, doesn't it? >> it's context of why. >> but it's a context of why. >> but it's a context of why. >> it? why does >> why does it? why does the swastika context? swastika need context? >> this is, of course, the same symbol that the nazis proudly wore as they massacred more than 6 million jews just decades ago . 6 million jews just decades ago. i can't imagine any context that would make its use in modern britain acceptable , but i'm britain acceptable, but i'm delighted now to say that i am
10:22 pm
joined by jocelyn. jocelyn, thank you very, very much. could you just explain to us exactly what happened there really ? so what happened there really? so you saw swastikas, did you or you saw swastikas, did you or you saw swastikas, did you or you saw them around the place , you saw them around the place, thank you so much for having me on, so i did see a few signs with swastikas on them. but before i say anything, i just before i say anything, ijust want to make clear because i think some things have been sort of misrepresented, i. what i'm not trying to do is, is criticise the government in any way . the met police are one way. the met police are one thing, but i know you all don't like starmer. really like keir starmer. i really admire that admire the effort that he's taken anti—semitism on taken to combat anti—semitism on the left, compared to the complete of effort from joe complete lack of effort from joe biden, and that's one of many reasons i like living here, reasons that i like living here, because a lot of people seem to think that i, like, flew in for a weekend in fact, a weekend and don't, in fact, live here. i'd live here. i do live here. i'd like continue living here like to continue living here because is at because the government is at least of trying, but yeah, least kind of trying, but yeah, back to the protest . so i did back to the protest. so i did see i was walking sort of alone because i was with the sort of
10:23 pm
pro—israel counter—protesters , pro—israel counter—protesters, and some behaviour i saw was making me a bit embarrassed. i don't think we should be singing to their of these hate to their level of these hate marchers at all. i we marchers at all. i think we should be really dignified . and should be really dignified. and i saw some behaviour that was making me. i just needed to walk on i sort of thought on my own and i sort of thought maybe, be a little maybe, oh, i'd be a little undercover. and, but people sort of tried to kind of started to guess that i was sort of like, i guess that i was sort of like, i guess an infiltrator, so to speak, but one guy had a poster, there was a small swastika on it. it was a picture of netanyahu, basically with a hitler moustache and a swastika and, i saw a lot of disturbing posters, but that one in particular, i asked him, i said specifically, i was like, where did you get that ? and he said, did you get that? and he said, oh, they printed a bunch of them out another march, basically, oh, they printed a bunch of them outsaid,nother march, basically, oh, they printed a bunch of them outsaid, they r march, basically, oh, they printed a bunch of them outsaid, they handed, basically, oh, they printed a bunch of them outsaid, they handed, tbunch y, he said, they handed a bunch of them out. so these flyers with swastikas on them and depicting netanyahu, who again, i don't even like with a hitler moustache and a swastika. these are in circulation. i'm i'm
10:24 pm
inclined to think that they are from the socialist worker who are playing a heavy hand in this, and no one's talking about them as an extremist group, even though are, yeah, though they are, but yeah, that's saw . and i that's what i saw. and i reported that to police because i overwhelmed and i was i was overwhelmed and i was disturbed, and i was told that that the action that we that was the action that we should we see a sign should take when we see a sign that anti—semitic. that is anti—semitic. >> . and so the police >> okay. and so the police officer, we've this officer, as we've seen in this video, now millions of video, now has millions of people seen worldwide in people have seen worldwide in this to be this video now appears to be holding a cup of coffee. and i think trying explain to you think trying to explain to you that the swastika is all about context , but can i just ask how context, but can i just ask how that made feel ? that made you feel? >> i think i think as far as the coffee is concerned, it was a long day, right? i don't want to read too much into that, but i felt shock really. i was just shocked that that conversation happened, had to happen . i happened, had to happen. i really the funny thing is, i didn't even bring my sign because i didn't really want to draw attention to myself. and that's the irony of all of this. but i saw that, i just but i saw that, and ijust
10:25 pm
thought, someone to film thought, someone has to film this said that to me. this because he said that to me. and you, time and mind you, by the time i spoke to him, i had spoken to several officers several other officers who said they the authority several other officers who said th

he just sort of, you know, as i said in another interview, he basically took out a metaphorical shovel and kept digging the hole even deeper. and that's just that's what surprised me most of all. like, i kept questioning . i kept i kept questioning. i kept asking him directly in what context is a swastika, especially a swastika accompanied by a hitler moustache on an israeli politician? again, who i don't even like on a on a jewish person in what context does that not anti—semitic. and at any point he could have said, well, isuppose point he could have said, well, i suppose you're right. but he didn't. and he kept just i was just very surprised. i'm, i'm still just surprised. and in shock by the whole thing. i suppose in retrospect, maybe i shouldn't have been considering the whole, you know, river to the whole, you know, river to the sea on big bend fiasco, but i'm still just. i'm very surprised. i'm. yeah, i'm still surprised. i'm. yeah, i'm still surprised this all even happened. i'm just. but i had to have someone film that because i just couldn't believe what he had said. yeah >> i mean, it's good. it's a
10:27 pm
good job somebody was filming it, is . can i just put it, right? it is. can i just put to what met have said? to you what the met have said? i'm paraphrase i'm going to paraphrase what the metropolitan i'm going to paraphrase what the metropoinsisted that the video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart nsisted that the video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart of sted that the video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart of aed that the video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart of a widert the video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart of a wider tene video i'm going to paraphrase what the metipart of a wider ten minute was part of a wider ten minute interaction. refusing interaction. ian is refusing to share footage. said share the full footage. it said that the person the woman was concerned supposedly concerned about had supposedly already a already been arrested for a pubuc already been arrested for a public relation public order offence in relation to the placard. so that's what what they're saying about it. i understand that you obviously have a different version of events there , can i just ask as events there, can i just ask as a, as a, as a jewish person yourself, you know, how do you feel on the streets? you know, on a saturday or when these things are taking place at the moment and these marches really? and, hear and, you know, we hear politicians saying, oh, it's time that police crack down time that the police crack down on hear police on this. we hear the police every weekend every every single weekend or every other tweeting other weekend, they're tweeting out, plan in out, we've got a robust plan in place for these marches. people who them hate marches , who call them hate marches, armed, derided and all of this stuff. what's your stuff. i mean, what's your honest interpretation of where we in the country it we are at in the country when it comes policing this kind of comes to policing this kind of anti—semitism ?
10:28 pm
anti—semitism? >> right. so a couple of weeks ago , well, for the past several ago, well, for the past several months, i've completely avoided central london. on weekends, like most jews , like a lot of like most jews, like a lot of jews. and a couple of weeks ago, i decided , well, i should stop i decided, well, i should stop being scared and, you know, mock these people , but i, i went, to, these people, but i, i went, to, to one of these marches with, with an israeli filmmaker who is not jewish, who's druze, which is, which is, you know , yet is, which is, you know, yet another middle eastern minority, and we went and on the surface it was quite peaceful , like it it was quite peaceful, like it was quite calm. but they were handing out this like, hate propaganda to these rags where basically these pamphlets that talk jews are the root talk about how jews are the root of all evil. and again, it's the socialist worker that's prints out this stuff on. out all this stuff and so on. it's surface that march was not violent, but again, they're handing this hate handing out this hate paraphernalia. so it wasn't a violent march, it was still violent march, but it was still a hate march. and if those were, you know, the only marches that i had seen, i understand where the confusion lies. if people
10:29 pm
don't know any better this march, this past weekend , that march, this past weekend, that was without question a hate march. kind like march. i think it's kind of like blm , where some the protests blm, where some of the protests were them were were violent, some of them were peaceful , but they are in the peaceful, but they are in the case of these marches, i think they still all marches. they are still all hate marches. but that's where but i think i think that's where the confusion lies and that not all of them get to this level of chaos. and so i think it's not really one size fits all rule. >> well, i find it absolutely remarkable. you know, someone like yourself, you well know remarkable. you know, someone like this self, you well know remarkable. you know, someone like this has you well know remarkable. you know, someone like this has beennell know remarkable. you know, someone like this has been goingiownow that this has been going on now for months. police have had for months. the police have had months their backsides in months to get their backsides in order. to just order. when it comes to just below there's a lot below the surface, there's a lot of going around. of this propaganda going around. i've been to some of these marches, i've filmed it. i've been myself . find been there myself. i find it remarkable lot the remarkable that a lot of the establishment very establishment media seem very reluctant to get and reluctant to get involved and actually, go and actually, you know, go and interview people undercover and find what views really find out what their views really are on jews and on israel and all of that, because the second you scratch the surface, it does appean you scratch the surface, it does appear, jocelyn, that there is a very worrying undercurrent now. >> i, i, i would say so
10:30 pm
>> yeah, i, i, i would say so for sure. and i think, i think maybe there are some people who show up to these things that do, that do genuinely want peace, but really vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i really vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got really vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got . really vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got . i really vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got . i also ally vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got . i also resent vibe that do genuinely want peace, but i got . i also resent these that i got. i also resent these efforts to paint this as, oh, it's only the muslim community. i'd say at least this past weekend it was 5050. there's a lot of, you know, trust fund marxists, a lot of white kids in keffiyehs, it's definitely it's quite a, it's quite a diverse, quite a, it's quite a diverse, quite a, it's quite a diverse, quite a diverse coalition. not in a good way. but, you know, i think there is a problem, but it's just a shame because again, ikeep it's just a shame because again, i keep telling, you know, all of my friends back in the states and my friends in israel even tell me, oh, london looks so scary. london just of scary. london is just full of terrorists. but that's just not. london such a beautiful city. terrorists. but that's just not. lreally such a beautiful city. terrorists. but that's just not. lreally love ch a beautiful city. terrorists. but that's just not. lreally love living eautiful city. terrorists. but that's just not. lreally love living here. ul city. i really love living here. there's a beautiful jewish community. it's thriving and the architecture is great. the museums are great, the weather is terrible, but like, i love so many things london, but many things about london, but these protests , everyone around these protests, everyone around these protests, everyone around the world is seeing this coverage , right? this is what
10:31 pm

10:32 pm
10:33 pm
10:34 pm
10:35 pm
welcome back to patrick christys. tonight we are on gb news. and it's time to bring you all of tomorrow's news. tonight with the front pages. let's do it . i start with the metro it. i start with the metro record . migrant arrivals record. migrant arrivals already. easter crossings take total past 5000. also that come and arrest me, says jk rowling ing over the new hate crime laws. let's go to the i. economy will not be enough to save sunak the tories are warned rishi sunakis the tories are warned rishi sunak is relying on an economic upturn to revive tory fortunes after devastating polls . but after devastating polls. but insiders warn number 10 is not cutting through with voters , and cutting through with voters, and party insiders fear economic election strategy will not work. so there we go . we go to the so there we go. we go to the guardian. the tories are accused as zero progress on half of levelling up goals are laid bare. so there we go. all right, hospital attack ends as pressure grows on netanyahu . that's the grows on netanyahu. that's the guardian daily mail. arrest me.
10:36 pm
defiance of jk rowling as she dares police over new scottish hate crime law. rishi sunak backs author's right to free speech after she throws down challenge with series of posts labelling trans women as men. the daily telegraph stealth tax raid on 1.6 million pensioners tories will pay at the ballot box as more retirees than ever are dragged into the income levy 9.35 million. that is the estimated number of pensioners who will be paying income tax by 2028. what does that mean for the traditional tory vote? let's go to the sun union joke fury at team gb flag red white and blue has been axed. sports fans hit out after team gb's jack turned pink and purple anger the flags diverse design update following a similar row over the saint george's cross . well, i am george's cross. well, i am joined yet again by my press pack. joined yet again by my press pack . of course we do have with
10:37 pm
pack. of course we do have with us political commentator suzanne evans , journalist and evans, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, and political editor at the express. it's sam lister. let's zone in on the sun's front page, shall we? union joke. so here we go. so apparently the sun are now saying that, yes . anger at saying that, yes. anger at diverse design. it follows a similar update. doesn't it? three lions legend peter shilton has said nothing is sacred . has said nothing is sacred. designers for team gb updated the union jack after deeming its iconic red, white and blue colours were, quote, not unique. instead, a quote diverse design system was used in a dizzying rebrand. so there we go. what do you make of that? suzanne >> well, it's madness, isn't it? i mean, why on earth are we doing this? no other country would flagellate ourselves like we're that we're doing. did you get that flagellate? yeah. but it's ridiculous. flag is. ridiculous. the union flag is. the union flag doesn't need updating. it's it's just madness. >> pathetic. benjamin what do you make of this? when you when you make of this? when you when you see it? it's had a diverse update. apparently. i mean, the
10:38 pm
flags changed lots of flag's been changed on lots of sports flag's been changed on lots of spoonly a few years ago, the >> only a few years ago, the olympic were in olympic colourings were all in blue of the union jack. so i think it's completely blown out of proportion . i think the idea of proportion. i think the idea of proportion. i think the idea of changing it's a bit odd. of changing is it's a bit odd. it's bit unnecessary , but i it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't it's means quite so it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't as it's means quite so it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't as what; means quite so it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't as what some1s quite so it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't as what some people so it's a bit unnecessary, but i don't as what some people are much as what some people are attempting to project onto it. >> okay. mean, i'll just read >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out now. last night, malcolm >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out novwho;t night, malcolm >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out novwho is1ight, malcolm >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out novwho is thet, malcolm >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out novwho is the president1 >> okay. i mean, i'll just read out novwho is the president of farrow, who is the president of the flag institute. so it's got serious all right . the serious now. all right. the president of the flag institute says, don't approve of our says, i don't approve of our national symbol of unity being defaced do something like defaced to do something like this in places india, this in places like india, greece would have greece or turkey would have serious consequences . i do see serious consequences. i do see some that one of the only reasons get with tosh reasons they get away with tosh like in britain is because like this in britain is because we happen. we let it happen. >> absolutely. i mean, >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, i can't irish having can't see the irish flag having its any other its colours changed or any other flag honest. why do we let flag to be honest. why do we let this it's crackers and this happen? it's crackers and if good enough geri if it's good enough for geri halliwell, for halliwell, it's good enough for me. right. okay >> all right. okay >> all right. okay >> now i'm just going to move it on. talk about another big story that's been doing rounds and that's been doing the rounds and it's stats. it's shocking. new stats. they've on the
10:39 pm
they've shone a light on the fatal failures plaguing nhs. fatal failures plaguing the nhs. so more than 250 patients thought dying needlessly thought to be dying needlessly every single week due to lengthy waits in a&e totalling nearly 14,000 excess deaths. a year alone. i'm just going to reiterate that 14,000 excess deaths last year alone , deaths last year alone, calculations by the royal college of emergency medicine suggest that many critically ill patients are being left waiting too long a hospital bed, too long for a hospital bed, despite the nhs receiving more government funding than ever before . for. and this is really before. for. and this is really what i want to zone in on. look, suzanne, it's all very well and good saying we're we're underfunded and we're under—resourced . i mean, under—resourced. i mean, are they actually is not time they actually and is it not time they actually and is it not time the nhs fatcats actually took the nhs fatcats actually took the blame this? the nhs fatcats actually took the yeah,e this? the nhs fatcats actually took the yeah, i this? the nhs fatcats actually took the yeah, i thinkis? the nhs fatcats actually took the yeah, i think we need a whole >> yeah, i think we need a whole royal commission cross—party to actually at the nhs and see actually look at the nhs and see if it's still fit for purpose in the 21st century, because all the 21st century, because all the evidence actually the evidence suggests actually that you know, we've that it isn't. you know, we've got issues going on got several issues going on here. first of all, this is one of consequences lockdowns of the consequences of lockdowns making only making the nhs a covid only service the best part of service for the best part of three years. what people
10:40 pm
service for the best part of three was s. what people service for the best part of three was goingit people service for the best part of three was going to people service for the best part of three was going to happen?a think was going to happen? of course we were going to have longer waiting lists. it's a consequence of uncontrolled immigration consequence of uncontrolled immigand on people actually more and more people actually coming country. more and more people actually coming country . as coming into the country. as i said earlier, 1.2 million every two city the size of two years. city the size of birmingham. that's not sustainable to with the nhs sustainable to keep with the nhs .then sustainable to keep with the nhs . then of course, you've got managers focusing diversity managers focusing on diversity targets on net zero targets, and earning far too much money, frankly, for the work that they do. you've got a shortage of medical students because there's no investment there , it's an no investment there, it's an absolute mess. and really , there absolute mess. and really, there needs to be a thorough cross party investigation into what can be done about it. >> there's articles >> benjamin, there's articles here. 11 bosses are 11 trusts here. so 11 bosses are 11 trusts with the longest referral waiting times . okay. the average waiting times. okay. the average delay for treatment apparently is more than a year , which is is more than a year, which is remarkable. they all earn more than the prime minister, and some of them are on about 300 grand a year. >> well, i mean, think >> well, i mean, i think comparing what the prime minister a really minister earns is a is a really arbitrary thing because the
10:41 pm
british prime minister is so underpaid it underpaid compared to what it should and to what he's should be and to what he's accountable for, other accountable for, what other leaders are. you know, every council country, council leader in the country, bosses you bosses paid more than him. you know, paid know, you're probably paid more than wouldn't about than him. i wouldn't worry about the the the prime minister's pay. the fact that think it's a bit fact is that i think it's a bit rich managers of trusts rich for managers of nhs trusts to be blamed they have been to be blamed when they have been given resource given so little resource compared to what they need, when they have such incredible backlogs from . covid because of backlogs from. covid because of how poorly that was handled. and so i think the book really stops with tories. in with the tories. and in this story, shadow health story, the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, rightly the rightly points out that the longer in power, longer the tories are in power, the waiting lists the longer the waiting lists are, wasn't are, because it wasn't just post—covid waiting are, because it wasn't just post-gotlid waiting are, because it wasn't just post-got longer. waiting are, because it wasn't just post-got longer. they waiting are, because it wasn't just post-got longer. they started| lists got longer. they started getting and so getting longer in 2015. and so that political decision. >> it a is it >> i mean, is it a is it a political decision? i mean, you know, actually know, i wonder whether actually the decision is by the political decision is by some members of the nhs staff to actually not pull finger actually not pull their finger out in order to try to get rid of the tories. >> i think there is, there are lots of things, aren't there, record of funding. so we record levels of funding. so we can't blame the lack of
10:42 pm
can't just blame the lack of cash obviously cash for everything. obviously covid impact , but covid has had a huge impact, but i think we have to also look at the strikes that have been happening over the last 18 months service. months in the health service. the fact that the bma, which leads the doctors, you know, it's representative it's the representative body of the most senior people in the medical that has medical profession that has become it's become become radicalised, it's become hijacked by socialists who want to the conservative to bring down the conservative government. they have a political agenda. they are holding out for pay rise holding out for a 35% pay rise when know that's not going when they know that's not going to happen. they don't expect the labour to happen. they don't expect the labotthey're just hold that. they're just going to hold out until the election. >> will be interesting to see >> it will be interesting to see if, streeting is in if, when wes streeting is in charge of the nhs, how quickly it turns to, well, hang on a minute. you're going to have to do with what you've do the best with what you've got and chiefs are and how quickly nhs chiefs are actually opposed actually hauled in, as opposed to politicians themselves. actually hauled in, as opposed to polit cians themselves. actually hauled in, as opposed to polit isins themselves. actually hauled in, as opposed to polit is aprilemselves. actually hauled in, as opposed to polit is april foolsves. actually hauled in, as opposed to polit is april fools day but look, it is april fools day today and heart out to today and my heart goes out to all who didn't see all of those who didn't see through lies . all of those who didn't see through lies. so as the home through the lies. so as the home of free speech, let's debunk some of the myths, shall we? labour's shadow health secretary wes he's wes streeting, joked that he's joining itv's lorraine show to
10:43 pm
make 15 minute meals. the labour mp for brent central, dawn butler, also got in on the old tomfoolery act , saying i've tomfoolery act, saying i've decided to quit twitter x because of all the haters and abuse! because of all the haters and abuse i get, especially when i stand up for minorities groups. now i am actually assuming that that april fools joke. that was an april fools joke. i'm not sure, but just stop oil even this is good. even announced this is good. a phoney sponsorship deal with gorilla glue in a photo shop. daily mail front page suzanne , daily mail front page suzanne, did you fall for any of these pranks? i'm just going to double check this dawn butler one, actually, because it does seem worryingly close to dawn butler one uke worryingly close to dawn butler one like april one doesn't seem like an april fool at all. seems like she's fool at all. it seems like she's still twitter but still on twitter really, but i'm sure on twitter. sure she's still on twitter. >> shall we >> have a look. shall we wouldn't it that wouldn't give it up that quickly. it's very hard to give up once you've started. quickly. it's very hard to give up quite once you've started. quickly. it's very hard to give up quite once give 'e started. i'd quite like to give it up myself, don't know myself, but i think i don't know what with 23 hours. what i'd do with 23 hours. she's still hey, spend too still on. hey, i spend far too much on it. much time on it. >> she's still she's still >> she's still on. she's still on. is still on on. dawn butler is still on twitter. go. good. on. dawn butler is still on twitte yeah, go. good. on. dawn butler is still on twitteyeah, fine. go. good. on. dawn butler is still on twitte yeah, fine. you good. on. dawn butler is still on twitteyeah, fine. you up)d. any okay. yeah, fine. you up for any april gags? have april fools gags? benjamin? have you any today ? you fallen for any today? >> stand april fools >> i can't stand april fools because a lot it is
10:44 pm
because i think a lot of it is just silly quite just quite silly and quite annoying. i think annoying. so i really, i think it's, i think it's past its sell by date, but jeremy vine of course getting reported course ended up getting reported to his to the police because of his april because he april fools joke. because he said on top said that his camera on the top of helmet on his had of his helmet on his bike had caught bird hitting it. caught a rare bird hitting it. and allowed film and you're not allowed to film in hyde park. he was in hyde park. and so he was reported metropolitan in hyde park. and so he was reported his metropolitan in hyde park. and so he was reported his me'foolsitan in hyde park. and so he was reported his me'foolsjoke? in hyde park. and so he was repcand his me'foolsjoke? in hyde park. and so he was repcand his me' and; joke? in hyde park. and so he was repcand his me' and then ? no. and the rspca and then later had to apologise. >> oh my gosh. all right, well look coming up, liz truss is being blasted online for her easter . if you haven't easter photo. if you haven't seen it, stay tuned. in fact, it's there so you don't have to stay tuned. it's just right there. that's it. that's the photo as you won't to photo as you won't want to miss out that's greatest out as that's my greatest britain up next, britain union jack. but up next, as told to give as labour are told to give default to default british citizenship to millions of european union citizens uk . yes, citizens settled in the uk. yes, you heard that right. is starmer secretly preparing an open borders bonanza? find out in just sec.

10:48 pm
right? that is not the rest of our problem. you are. you are just unable to exist as a human being. all right. anyway, i'm joined now by my press pal, political commentator suzanne evans, and evans, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, editor of butterworth, political editor of the express, sam lester. but here's a story i want to get stuck all right, so sir stuck into. all right, so sir keir been told a keir starmer has been told by a think , labour together, keir starmer has been told by a think should ur together, keir starmer has been told by a think should give gether, keir starmer has been told by a think should give british that they should give british citizenship to the millions of eu migrants uk. citizenship to the millions of eu migrants uk . the eu migrants in the uk. the proposal is seen as a way to show that migrants do contribute to the economy. now, starmer hasn't made final decision on hasn't made a final decision on this. labour's shadow business secretary, jonathan reynolds, said last year we believe if people make a contribution to this country , if they live here, this country, if they live here, there's an argument for them being in the process. being involved in the process. i'll tell you what is. this i'll tell you what this is. this is way is it not, of rigging is a way is it not, of rigging the deck at general elections going your going forward? benjamin, your views, , i mean, i think views, well, i mean, i think it's first of all, it's not labour policy, but maybe it will be. >> it's perfectly reasonable, you know, that is the point of citizenship. live in citizenship. if you live in
10:49 pm
somewhere enough and somewhere for long enough and you then you you pay taxes there, then you eventually gain right be eventually gain the right to be a citizen. think a lot of a citizen. and i think a lot of these eu citizens are different to typical migrants because they never for never saw a need to apply for this process were this process when they were given remain . that was given leave to remain. that was never necessary. so you've got people in this 3.7 million people here in this 3.7 million who here decades who have lived here for decades in some cases, in many cases. and they've paid taxes here for decades , and i think they should decades, and i think they should be citizenship. be entitled to citizenship. >> not just >> okay, sam, is this not just 3.7 million more labour voters? yeah. >> and along with votes for 16 year i think most >> and along with votes for 16 year would i think most >> and along with votes for 16 year would concedek most >> and along with votes for 16 year would concede isnost >> and along with votes for 16 year would concede is ,ost >> and along with votes for 16 year would concede is , lunacy, people would concede is, lunacy, this is a good way of labour bolstering their voting base, i think. but, you know, actually if this was reciprocated by other eu nations , then that other eu nations, then that wouldn't be so much of a problem, would it? but it's always one way. it's always a one way street, it seems to me. and we through and i think when we went through the we were the negotiations, the, we were being in what we being very generous in what we were offering and the eu nations were offering and the eu nations were being less so . were being less so. >> all right, suzanne, your views totally agree. views on this totally agree. vote rigging essentially. >> with and >> totally agree with you and sam. doubt
