every newspaper. but not here. not and to help in not here. and to help us in quest, we're former quest, we're joined by former downing street chief of staff nick timothy and senior correspondent sunday correspondent the sunday times andrew you both andrew gilligan. thank you both for wanted to forjoining us. i wanted to start , nick, perhaps with some start, nick, perhaps with some news for the conservative party, the news is just a regular people's and today shows labour on 47% which you know that might be expected. but the worrying thing is the conservatives down at 20% and the reform party is at 20% and the reform party is at 9. i mean, is there any way back for the conservative party from these sort of polling figures? yeah. i mean, i think there's always a way back and this still up to two years until the general election . i think the general election. i think it's not surprising that the party taken the beating it has in the polls this year after everything happened, the everything that's happened, the year three ministers. year of three prime ministers. but also the year of, you but it's also the year of, you know, the energy and the and the resulting squeeze. they've set out their plan for the economy in the autumn statement . you in the autumn statement. you know, that's going to take a while to realise . but now i

while to realise. but now i think they've really to set out their stall in other issues and top of the list i think is getting things right again in the immigration system, both getting legal migration down, but also fixing the problem in the channel yeah, i mean, you produced report from the produced your report from the for the cps a few days ago . i for the cps a few days ago. i mean, that's i mean, according to our viewers, that's certainly one of the most important things that they always raise is about the sort channel crossings the sort of channel crossings and the rest of it. i just. and all the rest of it. i just. many lead off not to. many things lead off not to. i just wondered, though , with the just wondered, though, with the report, i mean, the things that were in there, you know, detention of all asylum seekers, getting rwanda policy getting the rwanda policy going again , sorting out the human again, sorting out the human rights . i again, sorting out the human rights. i mean, i suppose the question is, will these things get through the courts. will the courts allow all of those things that you put in your report to happen? yes what we said in the report, we had we actually had 41 recommendations, quite detailed, lots of quite meaty things, like the introduction of id cards and reform to the

modern slavery act. but actually, at the heart of the report was a kind of report was was a kind of proposition where we want to turn the immigration system on its head. so we want to create resettlement routes for, people to come here legally and safely . we think in a normal year at 20,000. but alongside that, we want a policy that says you arrive in the country illegally and it is despite what people deny to say that people arrive here illegally. so it's a criminal offence to do that if you arrive here illegally, then you arrive here illegally, then you will be detained immediately and then and then very quickly you will be given a choice between going back to your home country. if think it's safe or going rwanda or country like going rwanda or a country like rwanda where we might have a similar kind of deal fewer asylum claims processed . but asylum claims be processed. but to we you definitely to do that, we you definitely need to change human rights laws. and you might ultimately need out the european need come out of the european convention on human rights. i think viewers would think our viewers would agree with here with that. you arrive here illegally . it with that. you arrive here illegally. it is a criminal

offence and therefore you should be dealt with. it way. and so, andrew, do think that there's a way back for the conservatives in these polling figures and if so, do you think nick's onto something by saying that these sorting these channel sorting out these channel crossings may be one of the routes back for the conservative. yeah, i say yes and yes that. i think the look we shouldn't forget that. not much more than a year ago, labour ten points behind in labour were ten points behind in the about getting the polls was talk about getting rid keir starmer and the rid of keir starmer and the electorate is volatile things can change quite quickly . what can change quite quickly. what we have now is a period of stability and professional . and stability and professional. and think that will start to start to be felt in the polls. what about these figures reform, though? i mean, 9% in the in the polls there's certainly a feeling amongst many people that the government is leaving sort of right flank open and that the reform party are in there. and unless the conservatives win those people back again, they can't win an election. is that a fair analysis? the test of that,

as nick said, will be in how they deal with illegal immigration and asylum seeking . immigration and asylum seeking. i think that's somewhere where the government does seem to have a plan. but it's executing it. it's getting it through the courts, like you said. now you say it's immigration. i would also the winter of discontent couldn't spell the end for the tories because . well. well, i tories because. well. well, i think we've got to be careful about exaggerating the impact these mean, it's not these strikes. i mean, it's not really like 1979. i it's about 7% so far of the days lost in 79. it's a fraction of what it was trading in power is infinitely less than it was because the legislation and because the legislation and because the legislation and because the private sector isn't unionised anymore and also because i think you look looking quite closely at this thing workers don't seem that willing to take concerted long long scale industrial action in 79 and in classic strikes just go out you know , continuously. what out you know, continuously. what this strike action is, is episodic. it's a day at a time, two days at a time , and it's

two days at a time, and it's often in services that people can live without or or they need less. so the railways, for instance, my old area at downing street . the fact is, most people street. the fact is, most people in this country don't travel by train and. only 9% of journeys by distance are made by train. only 2% by volume, and even those passengers can work from home. so it's as home. now so it's not as disruptive, which in that regard may be having that mindset government isn't taking it seriously enough, you see, because i think it's grinding everything to a halt. and while you say it's episodic, what could happen off a monday does an of one day it carries on an end of one day it carries on all the trains are in the all week. the trains are in the wrong people don't turn wrong places. people don't turn up it's actually a of up for work. it's actually a of an apathy running throughout the country. say the gone work country. i'd say the gone work shy that well on on the question of that i mean we you know there's something very interesting going on in the labour market at the moment where we're seeing numbers of people but higher wages are pre pension age who post—covid seem to have been leaving the labour

market. and this this story week about younger workers that's what's going to come onto that and it was saying that that you know , younger people say that know, younger people say that they might necessarily want to work so much so. so there's the question of strikes which, you know , the government has to deal know, the government has to deal with. but also, think, you with. but also, i think, you know, the big successes know, one of the big successes of coalition was was of the coalition years was was welfare , which worked but now welfare, which worked but now we've got to do it all over again in a slightly different way, because because we have this issue of a shrinking labour market. what about tax ? i mean, market. what about tax? i mean, what in terms of you know the areas that like in conservative support the high burden of taxation in times in living memory and the chancellor's response to autumn statement was to put them more even further. i mean , is that not one of the mean, is that not one of the reasons why the conservative party is haemorrhaging support as well? well, i mean, nobody loves paying more tax than they need to, but i think the streets of the situation is we the country hasn't grown enough since the financial crash that

may be to do with the structural changes that crash unleashed . changes that crash unleashed. that may be about things like quantitative easing , which has quantitative easing, which has had all sorts of consequences in the economy . but we also have the economy. but we also have this ageing population where we basically have fewer compared to old age dependants claiming pensions, needing the health service needing social care and, so on. so we probably are in an age where overall the tax rate will remain high. that doesn't mean we shouldn't be looking which taxes we might reform or change for the purposes of growth and so on. but for conservatives to accept that the tax burden may high is going to require some leadership and some explanation to people that this isn't because they're doing it gratuitously or out of laziness. it's for good reasons. state but if state is keeping more and more money, people will then say, well put that burden the employer. i need more of a wage if i'm going to have more of it taken by the state. so it is a

vicious cycle that we don't want to get caught up in. i mean, it might be that that might be why people don't want to work because we see more and more money of their burden in taxation. the reasons taxation. one of the reasons we've to win strike. so we've got to win the strike. so we've got to win the strike. so we've to you know, can we've got to you know, we can offer rises, we can only offer pay rises, but we can only do it in return. reform is that the public aren't productive enough and the railways for instance, they're instance, you know, they're still they want still you know, they still want to tickets like they used to sell tickets like they used in 1950s. nobody a in the 1950s. nobody buys a ticket ticket office ticket at a ticket office anymore. buy online they anymore. they buy online they do accept to be accept me occasionally. so to be honest you, that's not honest with you, that's not true. but i mean, you'll find in the region, 10, 10% of people will mill at the will be buying the mill at the end. it just just over 10% end. take it just just over 10% of sold to ticket of tickets are sold to ticket offices. these days. and yet we still have the same of ticket offices it was 100. well offices as when it was 100. well andrew, you be andrew, nick, you will be staying you staying us and something you mentioned there about people not to work well forget quiet quitting brits now saying quitting young brits now saying that they have no intention of working at all. i'll say that again . they have no intention of again. they have no intention of working at all. what are they

going to be doing? just sipping cappuccino. cappuccino? and say how bad the world is? well, the study commissioned by city and guilds found that one in ten young adults currently studying say that they intend to say that they never intend to work in their life. yeah work a day in their life. yeah well, of all, about . and well, worst of all, about. and joining us now to look into this is elinor mcgreevy, head of global research light cars. so were you shocked when you got these results ? good morning. our these results? good morning. our country affected the results of the survey that was provided to by another partner in the research . but one of the things research. but one of the things that i research. but one of the things thati can research. but one of the things that i can say is that the findings from the research, when they are combined with labour market insights , provide quite market insights, provide quite interesting findings about young people. and the key things there is that their careers aspirations of young people are quite misaligned to the realities of the labour market. today in the uk. is this realities of the labour market. today in the uk . is this a is today in the uk. is this a is this sort of a massive change mean if we do? i mean, i haven't

seen this sort of polls from sort of 1050, 20, 30 years ago. i mean, if those polls have been done well, that found a similar number saying or is this a completely new phenomenon? do we think about young people not wanting to work? is this a post—lockdown thing that never seen before ? i think that's seen before? i think that's a really question to answer without a debate . and again, without a debate. and again, i think the key parts of the research that contributed to looked at the misalignment between the aspiration of young people in the market and the actual jobs that are there. so let me give you just a couple of examples there that are quite interesting for example. one of the things that young people have said in, the survey is that 15% of them would like to work the arts and entertainment, yet the arts and entertainment, yet the only 2% of all jobs in the uk are in this industry. so there are big differences there and as well in terms of salaries, young have higher expectations salaries than what

we see actually happening in the labour market. young people coming to the workplace are completely unrealistic about the jobs that are on offer and the wage that they get. but that doesn't mean you say, well, i'm not going to work at all. surely that means you go on a journey discovery to see what is the how do you do it. so i think we've got this serious concerns that i was talking about a work shy, younger . how was talking about a work shy, younger. how do we turn was talking about a work shy, younger . how do we turn that younger. how do we turn that round round ? that's a really round round? that's a really good question. and i think the answer that i see from this research is that we need to data and better data front of young people so that can make more realistic decision about their future . and in this we really future. and in this we really need to education the school and the colleges to provide the right career advice , advice and right career advice, advice and guidance to young people . thank guidance to young people. thank you very much indeed, eleanor, for joining this morning and for

sharing those nuggets of information . were horrified by i information. were horrified by i don't know what our viewers think make of it, but thank you very much indeed. well of this, 30% think that they won't achieve . their career, ambition achieve. their career, ambition and other people saying that they don't like the hostile work environment, what sort of hostile work and that means you've got to work and you've got understand a new environment. i wondered, nick, is whether or this idea that, you know, the unrealistic expectations of what jobs can get and what salary they might earn, whether this is a consequence of too many people going to university and people too many people thinking that they should be able to start at they should be able to start at the top rather than start at the bottom. and the way up. do bottom. and work the way up. do you there's something in you think there's something in that? i suspect that? yeah. i mean, i suspect that's things. that's probably a few things. and actually quite and i mean, i'm actually quite sympathetic with young people today because i think the opfions today because i think the options of a harder than they were for the well will be as well. well, bear me so. so i say

firstly 50% of the country doesn't go to university and the opfion doesn't go to university and the option and the options the opfions option and the options the options we give young people are pretty poor . and we need to get pretty poor. and we need to get much better at giving people. technical, vocational , applied technical, vocational, applied education so they can get some skills and start their , you skills and start their, you know, earning good money they do in lots of other countries . and in lots of other countries. and instead we end up importing people with specific skills . for people with specific skills. for those who do go to university , those who do go to university, it's a bit it's bit of a raw deal for lots of them. so lots of the courses they study at, lots of the institutions don't give them a return on. on the investment not only of the three years of their lives, but also the debt that they accrue in doing that. now, lots of these kids are not going to ever actually pay back that debt, but it remains a millstone around their necks, though tens of thousands makes very thousands pounds makes it very hard for them to find all of this i absolutely agree with and why i say that 50% shouldn't be going because they've distorted

, and equally with , as it were, and equally with covid down, they never got what they two years. so they paid for two years. so i absolute to get that but all understanding start at the bottom and go to the top it is just something it's awful i just wondered andrew whether or not this is a lockdown thing and that basically in people saw that basically in people saw that you could be paid for doing absolutely nothing and sitting at home and all the rest of it. and lots of young people have maybe thought, well, actually, you know what, if you can if can be paid to stay home and do nothing that like quite a reasonable that something reasonable idea that something happened in this country that happened, happened in other happened, it happened in other countries covid. we you countries during covid. we you know, other countries have seen the labour force go back to work. this is people of all ages. whereas britain haven't ages. whereas in britain haven't seen as many people go back to work as were in work before. i don't know it is. maybe it don't know what it is. maybe it is maybe is is lockdown, maybe it is furlough generous on on furlough was very generous on on young people . look, i mean, i young people. look, i mean, i want us to cut them a bit. i mean, it's not the kind like

work shy or the 10% in the workshop. i for a lot of people the deal been broken. the deal used to be you worked and you could afford enough to buy a home and could make your way up the ladder. that is to completely out of reach for most young people. now, there's no way anyone in london on any kind of average wage is ever going to be so why would either be at home. so why would either view the people thinks this view as the people thinks this this in life on a huge this to get on in life on a huge advocate social mobility advocate of social mobility think can start at the think anybody can start at the bottom of work up they want bottom of work up if they want to i think this country's to and i think this country's the to able to do that the best to be able to do that so send views tv views at so send your views tv views at gbnews.uk. now coming up on the show, we'll be joined in the studio by spokesperson just stop foyle to talk about the court cases and whether they have anything better to do with their lives other than causing us a disruption . don't go anywhere .

compare meghan and diana. diana was so gracious, kind, fun , was so gracious, kind, fun, flirty, just such a fun character when it came to staff. meghan we're hearing, is a bully verbally abusive, unkind, made people cry. i mean, you know, i think it's people cry. i mean, you know, i rising cost, the strip and outright . 15 british

welcome back. it's 1025 now is just oil a cold breath to wreak havoc on our let's discuss this now with a spokesperson from the organisation law johnson. so many people are asking this is it some sort of religious you've been sucked into ? well, it's been sucked into? well, it's quite a ridiculous question , quite a ridiculous question, isn't it? i mean, not really. not when we see you do. and what counts in the history of cults is by the world scientists. well, are yours yours? indeed. of course we are . well, some of of course we are. well, some of us would question this and this is why we're saying you're prepared to commit crimes. is why we're saying you're prepared to commit crimes . block prepared to commit crimes. block what people are doing , destroy what people are doing, destroy or attempt to destroy paintings . people sort of about the day to day business. we're just wondering why. why you stand as a member of parliament to get your voice heard in a democratic way, rather than just causing disturbance for everyone . i'll disturbance for everyone. i'll tell you why. it's because we

don't time anymore. the government the government has known 70 years. the science is clear. the predictions made 70 years ago are spot on to what we're seeing now. 40 degree heat in the uk , birds falling from in the uk, birds falling from the sky and train tracks buckling had wildfires. 60 people lost that 40 degree heat in the uk. and still we have climate . so is it true you're climate. so is it true you're it's too late to do anything about. it's too late to do anything about . no, it's too late to do anything about. no, i'm it's too late to do anything about . no, i'm saying we need to about. no, i'm saying we need to do something right now. so why didn't some . why do you still didn't some. why do you still feel like i mean, we're going fight for that stand against me in at the next general in tripoli at the next general election. you think that election. if you think that yours is a popular crusade, come stand against me in tripoli. so within years, come within the next two years, come on, been shapely on, something has been shapely and how popular your and we can see. how popular your cause is. what's wrong with wrong with that? i'll bring you back to 70 years so back to that. 70 years so successive governments labour until governments for 70 years have ignored the science done for parliament. there isn't time for parliament. there isn't time for that we are in for two years. all answer two years in

two. just and it'll be too late. you're in two years time. it'll be too late if we don't start acting now. today in two years time. so you we will. you rules then. now is a start of a ten, but in two years time when it's too late, you'll stop all of this behaviour. by then too late, you'll stop all of this behaviour . by then it'll be this behaviour. by then it'll be too late anyway we are going start soon government start as soon as a government say new let it and. it's say no to new let it and. it's a very important part actually of what is our inept backwards government doing right now. so we. no, let me finish, please. what's anything? it's just you just on it. go on. what worldly and green engineering are we seeing ? our government in seeing? our government in sweden, they've just started making steel with green hydrogen . and the sunak and is suicidal government want to open cumbrian coal mines. so hang on a second. what we have seen, it's children chimneys as a backward or whatever government actually it's the uk that's been leading the world on the environment, dropping carbon emissions, leading the way a cop26, cop27

so that isn't right. oh, i wrong on that one. okay so what you're saying is well, it's , it's too saying is well, it's, it's too late to do anything and that's not true either. so that's why i say when you're coming outwith, these alarmist statements, which some of us , you know, are some of us, you know, are questioning lots other scientists, the question that's what we say is some sort of cult. i'll ask you else, what do you what do you do? sort what do you what do you do? sort what do you do, joe your day? what jobs do you do? what do you do i mean, me personally work in hospitality and a mother. so i have a seven year old but when i want to is a really great time worker. no, i'm part time worker and, a single mother and then the rest i'm a single mum. and then the rest of the time you just go on, demonstrate once you've got the time to do demonstrations, i don't have a great deal actually, but great deal time actually, but i would much rather be with my son. but to do this because son. but have to do this because not enough people are doing it because of broadcasting this. we are leaders . that's are not world leaders. that's a lie. i tell you what, we are

world leaders. we are world leaders uk in leaders in the uk in biodiversity habitat loss. biodiversity and habitat loss. we've government want we've got a government that want rip laws, protect our rip up 570 laws, protect our wildlife. we have sewage , sewage wildlife. we have sewage, sewage spewing into the sea honestly this this cumbrian coal mine three are you are you are you are you persuaded me and i'll tell you what, when somebody in the staff at number ten, are you persuaded by any of lawyers remotely? i'm afraid. i mean, i think we're talking about things like biodiversity or when we're talking about pressures on the environment, the response is always quite mono monotonous . if always quite mono monotonous. if i may . i mean, always quite mono monotonous. if i may. i mean, it's always the britain itself isn't doing enough.the britain itself isn't doing enough. the that it doesn't matter what other countries are doing. we always have to go further . we always have to go further. we always have to go faster. i mean, one of the pressures on the environmental source are different ways in this country the speed, the this country is the speed, the population increase. but of course, don't things course, we don't hear things like, need to like, oh, well, we need to control immigration from some of these campaigners because it doesn't suit the ideological

agenda of the organisation. well what you looking what about that if you looking at popular increase i mean at popular an increase i mean and looking our borders are as somebody concerned about the environment and building on the environment, would you also say we need to stop this rise of the immigration coming into this country championing that as well. i in hospitality are you on i'm i'm answering the question i work in hospitality andifs question i work in hospitality and it's a sector that is massively been affected. we have such a staff shortages and unemployment in hospitality we could easily have more people coming in. i know, but i and so there is no you stop people coming into the country which again we need more we need maybe some of your protests to stop started millions if some of your protests started working rather than causing havoc the streets we might be able to solve both at the same time. if governments weren't going open coal mines weren't going to open coal mines and take us back to the dark ages. i mean, we all have children the chimneys children up the chimneys christmas. week christmas. well we next week prime question time

prime minister's question time being . yes we're not world being vague. yes we're not world leaders . we say we lawyer the leaders. we say we lawyer the chimneys by christmas i mean this is nonsense what you're spouting now as that was a joke. if you can't see that was a joke. how much what's a green person do? so are you are you are you you influencing what i think is the tactics. i mean do you think these tactics when either i mean it's surely the reverse they they alienate people don't they and you know what's the obsession with paintings as well. why do you keep sticking to paintings? i mean, you you should call mean, you know, you should call yourselves stop oil yourselves just stop oil paintings paintings. interesting today, you know , one of the oil today, you know, one of the oil protesters has said the stunt ruined my life. i mean, this is what he's saying today when he was closing the london orbit and he was in court. was closing the london orbit and he was in court . and this is he was in court. and this is alfred beswick, 26, took part and they said it's actually ruined my life. so again, is it ruining your life or is it making you is this the only

thing in your life absolute? you know, i have a seven year old. i have lots of things be much rather doing. but i need to bnng rather doing. but i need to bring a very important point because you've said again and it gets all the time gets said all the time on programmes this are not programmes like this we are not world leaders. we say 1% of emissions. not include emissions. we do not include transportation. all goods and military and we a very small country, our carbon emissions have dropped about 40% because we're not increasing asian transportation within . then we transportation within. then we know for like figures like for like figures would drop by about 40. and what will happen when we open these coal mines. so well the thing is at the moment we're importing it also right importing coal. it also right importing coal. it also right importing coal. it also right importing coal in order to put in our steelworks. so you you sooner you'd sooner we import it and transport it here rather than actually have stuff that's already here. absolutely no i would we use green would much we use green innovation and build build our steel with green hydrogen like they're doing in sweden . well, they're doing in sweden. well, lots of people would agree with that, but they say you've got to do it at time when you've got

the technol when we have a not and not impoverished up. well i, i will look forward to you standing against parliament standing against in parliament at election. at the next general election. but meantime in the but in the meantime in the meantime thank you very much indeed. okay need to say one indeed. okay i need to say one very, very we've we've very, very thing we've got we've got on. i'm sorry, i'm got to move on. i'm sorry, i'm afraid. but up with , afraid. but coming up with, we're debate about we're having a debate about fracking after all of this this week. it's sad . rishi sunak and week. it's sad. rishi sunak and joe biden have agreed that the us will double the supply of shale gas into uk while we'll leave us under the ground. but first, it's latest headlines with reaction . good morning. with reaction. good morning. it's 1030 for all your top stories from the gb newsroom. and we start with some breaking news. a serving police officer has been charged with two counts of rape . p c rupert edwards is of rape. p c rupert edwards is alleged to have carried out the earlier this year whilst he was off duty . he earlier this year whilst he was off duty. he was

think it's i feel like they're trying to hijack the diana brand to elevate themselves and i think that's really unfair to william and his children . now of william and his children. now of course, as you know, they're quite a legit litigious couple, kinsey. and i guess we don't have any clear evidence that

meghan is a bully, but it's certainly been speculated that staff have been treated badly . staff have been treated badly. what we can say is that they get through more assistance than you and i put together. and that's saying something. can i ask you finally about welcome back. it's 1040 and welcome back. it's1040 and boy welcome back. it's 1040 and boy , have we been getting you hot under collar. we've got andrew here who said the benefits system needs total reform. you should only allowed to claim benefits if you lose your job. and until you find another one, which is what it was designed for. if you have worked six months, then you can claim benefits for six months. 12 months equals 12 of months equals 12 months of benefits. that's all we should benefits. that's all we should be to nobody be able to do. nobody should have, lifestyle choice , i

have, as a lifestyle choice, i think makes an interesting think it makes an interesting point here, he says. my first career was a medical laboratory technician. could join 16 technician. you could join at 16 with a—levels or 18 with a—levels after hard and a—levels after hard work, and they you had an industry specific degree equivalent qualification in theory by the mid twenties you could be head of the department. now you need a degree to join the industry as an entry level and think that i think he makes a very good point there about is sort of there about how this is sort of putting people being to putting people off being able to social mobility, and social mobility, relying and getting your life and getting on with your life and then some people then stopping some people over. join might be join an industry. they might be good it, which is sort of good at it, which is sort of what nick was saying. we need more outlets. the process bob, very people very simply, when young people afford house in london afford to buy a house in london , they move further , why don't they move further north the house prices are north where the house prices are cheaper? point barbara brown cheaper? go point barbara brown with that practical outlook on life, that's what we all need now the government announced a new deal to keep the energy crisis at bay by using gas obtained by fracking in america as part of this major downing street said the us will aim to export at least 9 to 10 billion

cubic metres of gas to terminals over the next year , more than over the next year, more than double the amount exported in 2021. in light of this deal, is there any way to justify our own domestic fracking ban ? well, domestic fracking ban? well, joining us now is climate of the independent donohue mccarthy and director of policy at uk onshore oil and charles mcallister. so when i was reading this story charles i have to say how hypocritical when going to use our own shale gas but we'll some from the other of the world is this just hypocrisy. it it is the height of hypocrisy for the government to disallow shale gas development in the uk and then cheapest deals with america to import billions of cubic metres billions of pounds worth of shale gas. so from of last year until august this year the uk spent £6 billion, until august this year the uk spent £6 billion , £225 per spent £6 billion, £225 per household on american lng. that

will continue and grow. all we're doing offshoring our economic , environmental economic, environmental responsibility and geopolitical opportunity just want so donahue there's the case you know, where we're being hypocritical here. we're bringing it all in. we needit we're bringing it all in. we need it here in uk for the security of our own supply. so why don't we use the shale reserves that are under our feet in this country ? because they in this country? because they wouldn't bring down the cost for consumers by a single penny. what they're what the oil and gas will not tell you is that fracking in the uk will be sold at the european price. and so will not save us a penny. what we need to is to reverse the tory cuts on insulation. i think imposed 2012 and has imposed a huge costs on consumers ever since . the second thing we need since. the second thing we need to do is to lift the tory ban on onshore wind, which is five times cheaper and fracked gas, electricity investing in the old technology with limited , limited technology with limited, limited finance that we've got is

economic madness on a hill. you're not you're then concerned about the price. it's the principle of not using shale gas in the uk. your answer there that it was just about the cost and we weren't going to make it any cheaper. so you're shell? no, no, not no, that's not what i'm saying. i'm just addressing the first point, which is the cost. well it will it bring down costs for consumers which i'm sure you and philip concerned about rightly . we should also be about rightly. we should also be concerned about the climate costs of actually going down the of investing in new fossil fuels , which the prime minister told the egypt the egyptian summit , the egypt the egyptian summit, that the uk would invest private and public finance towards a green economy, not the old dirty economy, investing money in new infrastructure that's dirty and dumb. just britain is insane. when we can invest in far cheaper energy. i will cut people's bills and cut

environmental damage. so charles , has donohue got a point now? so can i put those to in lesley price first? there's three ways that shale gas can reduce in the uk. one is on a local scale, so we will give community benefits to the people for a shale gas site that could be £400 million, but that's just in a local area. the two other main ways on a national basis, if we continue on business as usual lng deals, we're going have to send up a high price in order to these boats. the more self—sufficient we are, the lower the price will be . and then the third way is we be. and then the third way is we would willing sell the gas would be willing to sell the gas are contracted that's are contracted prices. that's not nationally or not unprecedented nationally or internationally . on the climate internationally. on the climate change point, internationally. on the climate change point , there's several change point, there's several things to consider you don't care about. by the sounds of things actually did my masters on greenhouse of on the greenhouse gas impact of shale exploitation the uk so shale gas exploitation the uk so people need to know that well well go. no know well there you go. no they know the key things are we're going to need gas. the shortfall between how much we going to produce in the north sea and consume out to 2050 is a

trillion cubic metres of natural in plain that's in plain english. that's a pounds the carbon intensity of shale gas that be produced in the uk is a quarter of that uquefied the uk is a quarter of that liquefied natural gas. so again over relying on is more carbon expense , more carbon intensive, expense, more carbon intensive, more expensive nonsensical. donohuei more expensive nonsensical. donohue i just, just wonder whether your your you going to be exposed here by what's over the next few days. it says on the next few days. it says on the front page of the daily telegraph today that the national grid is on standby to alert households to qatar . alert households to qatar. electricity usage amid , a electricity usage amid, a looming supply squeeze which will be caused . wind levels drop will be caused. wind levels drop amid a cold snap and that it seems that all of this drive for more and more wind farms than onshore wind is going to leave country without any power whatsoever . the wind doesn't whatsoever. the wind doesn't blow and actually the national grid are looking at running extra coal fired plants , order extra coal fired plants, order to keep to keep everything . so, to keep to keep everything. so, i mean, is this not going to

destroy the argument of the of the of the climate change alarmists ? sorry. well the alarmists? sorry. well the i don't want you call your own prime minster an alarmist. no i'm calling you an alarmist. donoghue but he's he's the one just on the deal to get more qualified he's the one who wants to get more shale gas into the uk, isn't it? you're the one who's against that. you want us to be totally on wind policies as your prime minister in. you're calling him alarmist. but let take point that let me take up the point that the lobbyist just made. he the oil lobbyist just made. he is telling you lie is absolutely telling you lie when you that they when he tells you that they won't fracked british gas the european market price . that is european market price. that is the truth. he is to you. it will not bring down the costs of it. as regards the supply of energy in the uk . why have you guys cut in the uk. why have you guys cut the insulation program for the last 12 years so that 9 million families are paying higher pnces families are paying higher prices this winter? and secondly, why did you cut and

cut off the wind industry so that we are lacking in energy this winter? the actual thing , this winter? the actual thing, the point about the coal, the stations has always been the situation they are there. you make an exact point about insulation and people i don't know stopping sort of energy loss and i think that's a key point. but we have to bring it to an there and that's something we have to make sure that people are doing as best as they can to insulate the homes. me, insulate the homes. donald, me, q charles , thank q mccarthy and charles, thank you very much for a very live and interesting debate. we'll be that you'll be back . now that much, you'll be back. now senior may be at risk senior ministers may be at risk losing their at the next losing their seats at the next general if current general election if current polling the conservative polling for the conservative party continues through to 2024. the is seeing a small the party is seeing a small scale ex—mp announcing they won't be standing for re—election. although the former prime minister boris johnson will be of them. with him will not be of them. with him reportedly saying that he will battle keep his uxbridge and battle to keep his uxbridge and south rise seat . joining us now south rise seat. joining us now is professor john curtis , is professor john curtis, professor of politics at university of strathclyde . thank

university of strathclyde. thank you very much indeed . joining you very much indeed. joining us, professor curtis, i mean this exodus of mps , is it is it this exodus of mps, is it is it pretty much to the fact that so many of them think they're going to lose their seats at the next election and they want to avoid that? is that is that what sort of timperley typically happens when a party as if it's going to lose a lot of seats? well, that may be of some the individual may be of some of the individual mp . but actually, interestingly mp. but actually, interestingly the proportion of , the 15 or so the proportion of, the 15 or so that who have said that they're going to stand down, who are currently in constituencies which, given the current polls, might be lost. it's around a half it's a very it's seven of the 15 that i reckon fall within that category. now, given that conservative party at the moment on polls would indeed lose half of all of its mps , the of all of its mps, the proportion of those who have that, they're going to stand down are individually at risk , down are individually at risk, actually no higher than the of

all conservative mps are at risk. so to that extent at least, it's not obvious those are most at risk are the ones who are more likely to say that they're not going to fight the next general election. john curtis , i like that analysis curtis, i like that analysis there. yeah how much of a surprise is it that boris johnson said he's going to he's going to and fight his seat at the next election? i mean, as a as a sort of an election guru? i mean, what what percentage chance would you give boris johnson of holding his and south wales slips to the next election . well, better than of those currently in cabinet or some or indeed of at least one other previous leader of the party. i mean, he and duncan smith, for example, is sitting on a 3% majority. so he looks extremely vulnerable . dominic raab and are vulnerable. dominic raab and are involved in a 4% majority, albeit to the lib dems. it looks pretty vulnerable in comparison with them . boris johnson, with

with them. boris johnson, with his 15% majority, looks at least to have a fighting chance . but to have a fighting chance. but if and only if the conservatives at this stage some recovery in the polls, not necessarily back to the level where they would be in office, but at least back to the level where they would not be suffering. you know, what would be at the moment? certainly less than a decimation , given that the party is more than 20 points behind in the polls. so i think i mean suffice. boris johnson individually is concerned of course, the fascinating thing is as next prime minister who as the next prime minister who in end was forced to resign because he lost the confidence of his mps and his effectively collapsed , he thinks that that collapsed, he thinks that that is worth his while personally trying to remain inside house of commons and indeed to do so within the constituency, he is currently out. i think there was a lot of speculation today. what do you think it was worth carrying on to if he was going to do that maybe find to do so that maybe he'd to find see trying find for a safer see trying to find for a safer seat but everybody needs those parts he's going to go

parts so once he's going to go down but i mean there is no doubt he's vulnerable he's also, by the way, equally vulnerable is jeremy the chancellor is jeremy hunt, the chancellor in southwest surrey. he's sitting on very similar sitting on a very similar majority , around 15. so he might majority, around 15. so he might survive . things improve. but at survive. things improve. but at the moment , survive. things improve. but at the moment, life survive. things improve. but at the moment , life doesn't look the moment, life doesn't look too comfortable him either. too comfortable for him either. and just i just and john, just just i just wondered what impact mp standing down has on that party's chances of holding on to those seats how big a factor is the incumbency and lots of mp standing down does that really materially affect party's chances of hanging onto those seats? yes does make an impact. it is now pretty clear fairly consistently that particularly if somebody has gained the seat from , the has gained the seat from, the labour party with the democrats in the last election and they've been there for five years and they've developed the reputation of local mp know they can pick up two or 3% extra of the vote and in a tight contest that could be enough to make the difference. the trouble of difference. the trouble is of course, moment is that course, at the moment is that the conservative party is so far

behind the polls. frankly, behind in the polls. frankly, anybody picked their seat anybody who picked up their seat of or the liberal courts of labour or the liberal courts in the last election is going to have much chance of hanging onto their seats. if there were if they are picking up an incumbency benefit. that's incumbency benefit. so that's only really to help the conservatives get the concerns back to being seriously back at least to being seriously with the labour party at moment, at least the conservative party is problems are so big that these more marginal factors can help the party in marginal seats aren't just going to be to kick in. professor john curtis, can you give us percentage just percentage on this answer ? percentage on this answer? what's the percentage likelihood bofis what's the percentage likelihood boris johnson could be leader of the conservative party again ? i the conservative party again? i think it's pretty close to zero as to i think you should you shouldn't underestimate the damage that was done by. his personal reputation by the fact , you know, i long standing mr. johnson which is a relatively relationship with the truth was indeed the end the issue that particularly brought him down of

course over the fact that he was not fully about what he knew about the deputy chief whip, who then got into a certain amount of personal trouble professor john curtis. it's always pleasure. thank you very much indeed for joining this pleasure. thank you very much indeed forjoining this morning. indeed for joining this morning. thank . now to kanye west and thank you. now to kanye west and to some antisemitism. scandal continues . the rapper continues after. the rapper turned anti—semitic rant turned his anti—semitic rant into a song causing yet more upset for the jewish community . upset for the jewish community. is the disgraced rapper part of a wider anti—semitic movement growing in the west? here to tell us more is marc levy. marc since this awful outburst that kanye did. how has this impacted the jewish community in, america? but also here in, the uk at the moment. thank you for having me on. what you have to remember is that kanye west has doubled the amount his twitter followers and of all jewish people in the world and we have one of the most visibly identifiable people on the who

is looking to manipulate situation where he's to try and stand as president of the united states as a developer as a leader of evidence openly anti semitic parties. now, what we're concerned about is the fact that the way that a lot of young people especially obtain their news these days is via social media channels where he is pushing out rhetoric, which is not challenged at all and it's being accepted part by millions of people , the world. and what of people, the world. and what has a potential to lead to is time into violence against jewish people , not just in jewish people, not just in america, but around world? it gives examples of this. i know we heard in the past where might have had sort of gods outside school, outside of local communities what's been happening? yeah, i mean suddenly whilst we started talking my children are at school behind gates with security guards and

when on the sabbath tomorrow jewish people around the world will be going to their synagogues again, will be extensive provisions in extensive security provisions in place. and that is where they threat jewish people threat facing jewish people around the world. i will never forget being stopped in the synagogue on yom kippur three years ago when news came through of a terrorist attack, talking to in germany to a jewish community in germany in and no one was surprised in hala and no one was surprised that this was happening. so it is very real security concerns facing the jewish people that came uk and around the world. now it's important to say that the community here is incredibly well integrated , outward facing well integrated, outward facing with vibrance. we do extremely well here and in the united states, especially where the jewish community is places to what parts of our society over as a generation and the thought that in the community in america are always going to be okay. so the fact that we have not just kanye west, but all the well—known as well. mark maybe we're going to have end it there, but thank you very much indeed for telling us about that. so that's it for the first

houn that. so that's it for the first hour. but don't go anywhere because we'll be back after this short . because we'll be back after this enough. this couple of perma victims who instead decide to throw it all back , the late throw it all back, the late queen's face to make a quick buck and show off on netflix. so, dominique samuels, i know it wasn't the headlines of the documentary, but for me it was one of the most despicable moments because the commonwealth is not the empire 2.0, and that's the whole reason why the queen's spent 70 years working on it. gave two that job before

the royal wedding when . they the royal wedding when. they claimed that they were big fans of the commonwealth, too. so what's changed ? i mean, what's what's changed? i mean, what's changed is that they've grown better and they've grown vengeful and i think that this comment by arthur for her shoe is a gaudy columnist. i mean, that tells you to a sergeant major. did that impact his mental health as well? i wonder when he was flying aeroplanes over afghanistan. when it comes to the alleged poor treatment by the alleged poor treatment by the palace when serving as active royals, harry and meghan

have become the boy that cried wolf too many

think they will be nervous if not nervous, then you're not human . you know, they'll be human. you know, they'll be a little bit nervous . these little bit nervous. these players are playing in league finals, you know, on biggest stages for their clubs they're not players that are going , you not players that are going, you know, crumble with the pressure and i've been out to qatar for two weeks i've been to a few games as well and the atmosphere in the stadiums how big the stadiums are you have to be ready . you know, you can't ready. you know, you can't crumble because that's teams are getting beat five six nil because they're crumbling and i don't think these players will often the big characters even look at you bellingham the bigger the game the better he so i don't think will be a problem for them often they'll be excited they know if they lose to france the english media aren't going to be on their back they've got to respect that they try their best and when you've got that reassurance know there's no pressure on england win the world cup, then i think a work in their favour more

pressure on france that won it four years ago that holders be looking to win it again. four years ago that holders be looking to win it again . can i looking to win it again. can i ask you about, raheem sterling, who's going back then to join the team ? i don't know if you the team? i don't know if you have spoken to him, but how will he feeling? will that add a sort of renewed enthusiasm to the team, him coming back ? i think, team, him coming back? i think, first of all, i think he be going back. we saw with confidence knowing that he's the group of players, the fia. i welcome him to home and you know, saw his family and problems with the burglary and he's got the trust go back you know sometimes i wanted to go back but i'm sure his family, his friends , they want him to go his friends, they want him to go back and helping them win the world cup. you know, he's a big part of gareth southgate's plans and i'm sure the squad will be given a boost you know, they've got of their best players got one of their best players coming could be the coming back and he could be the player, what a surprise. if player, you what a surprise. if he scores the he comes on and scores the winner france and it's winner against france and it's just a pleasure to him back

just a pleasure to have him back and he's mind will be and i think he's mind will be fine to carry on in the tournament and gabby obviously you were a big aston villa player and jack is at the world cup . you know, a former aston cup. you know, a former aston villa hero. what what role do you think there is for jack grealish in this match , france? grealish in this match, france? do you think he'll get a out? could he make a difference in this in this game? yeah i think it's going to be a really tight game, be honest. and i feel that the substitutes could the big four for england you see the game so far we've coming on grealish coming on that made a difference both scored within 10 minutes 15 minutes of coming on against the running jackal now he'll be ready. you know i spoke while he's been over there. they said he's training hard. he knows he's going to be one of the first subs to command if he's not stalling because of how well he's training. and he'll be looking to make a difference. and even these getting and even these players getting to david beckham and having to meet david beckham and having a with beckham this a chat with david beckham this week well. and you

week will help as well. and you know, they're be know, they're going to be excited. players , like excited. and these players, like maybe players of maybe previous players of different eras, they will look at this as i want to go out and win the world cup for england. you they're going to feel you know, they're going to feel the to the pressure. they're going to go enjoy themselves and go out and enjoy themselves and express themselves. and honestly, the honestly, i do think the pressure on friends . gabby, pressure is on friends. gabby, one word answer this . who's one word answer for this. who's going the world cup? just going to win the world cup? just one word, england fantastic . one word, england fantastic. gavin, thank you much for joining us. it's been an absolute pleasure. you very much indeed for us this week. thank you so come on, who's going to be watching tonight , tomorrow be watching tonight, tomorrow night tomorrow night of i'll be watching and watching all the games but as aston villa ticket holder he used to watch from the terraces. if he thinks england are going to win, then i have to go with that. are you a football fan?i go with that. are you a football fan? i usually get into world cups. fan? i usually get into world cups . i'm not fan? i usually get into world cups. i'm not much of a fan, but i usually get into it because it's sometimes it feels wrong in winter somehow, i don't know,

it's just something, oh, get over. it's just something, oh, get over . well, look, all our over. well, look, all our viewers have been calling in on various things. a lot of them on maybe about just stop oil stop oil. and as simon said we in the uk add almost to the climate change our emissions are so low get the minds open, let's get back to living within means. nevermind selling our gas abroad . margaret says just a point. protesters had on your program that scientists predicted this a warming 70 years ago. i was born in 1960. what what scientists telling us when i was growing up was the complete opposite when we were told we were heading for another age and the world would be over and starving . and by the be over and starving. and by the year 2010, well, it's 2022 now and no ice age sight, not much has to be said for the not just off oil person. but i think what we've got to do and i was speaking to both nick and andrew about this we've got to, in a way, calm the temper of this

debate and stop the all are out there causing destruction mayhem and spouting up apocalypse tech nonsense in a way you could say . well hang on a sec. how are we going to live through this? and you'll be sort of doing that and? well, you know, you have to get the government back on track. really well, way to explain this . yeah, i think so. explain this. yeah, i think so. and i mean, certainly on on things just the world, things like just the world, i mean, end can only really get mean, in end can only really get our emissions down in, the world's emissions down through technology . but there's a technology. but there's a there's think there's this there's i think there's this obsession, i think in maybe it so maybe it's a western thing about how there's a danger to the of the planet there's this there's an apocalyptic tendency in christian culture that actually and there's this obsession with with being on the side that's going to save us and get redemption. i think is a very strange thing. we need to we just to moderate this. there is an issue with the climate. we do need to reduce emissions, but we're not going to be able to do that through technology and

common well, hey, common sense policy. well, hey, at these people at least as these people supposedly real this so supposedly to get real this so out left wing folks out of touch left wing folks kansas how these protests kansas how stupid these protests are stopped oil, the are if you stopped oil, the whole come a whole world will come to a standstill, joanna said. how can they owning coal they object to owning coal mines? they rather ship mines? would they rather we ship it world? dave says it across the world? dave says they going to so like sell, just steal milk the shelves and put it all over store coals in it all over the store coals in disgust, damage or paint disgust, in damage or in paint over show me the causing over coal show to me the causing criminal . andrew the one thing criminal. andrew the one thing i wanted to ask you we spoke professor john curtis in the last hour about the proposals , last hour about the proposals, the next election. and i as a close associate of boris i just wondered what you thought his chances were of holding onto oxbridge in south iceland. i think pretty . good. he's got think pretty. good. he's got that kind of charisma . he's got that kind of charisma. he's got a fairly comfortable 15. i mean if he doesn't hold on. then the tory party really is in very, very bad trouble. so we should be holding on. okay well. matt hancock, steadfast defence . his hancock, steadfast defence. his handung hancock, steadfast defence. his handling of care homes during the covid pandemic has sparked

outrage within the industry after the release of his book the pandemic , mr. hancock was the pandemic, mr. hancock was the health minister when the covid 19 pandemic broke in 20 2020 and took the controversial decision to send elderly covid patients from hospitals back to care homes. joining us now , care homes. joining us now, david crabtree, owner of crabtree care home. so when you heard about this , david, what heard about this, david, what did you think when basically matt hancock was blaming the bad owners of care ? it was you. it owners of care? it was you. it was your staff that were responsible for. the increase in covid cases and not people and patients being discharged from hospitals into , your care, homes hospitals into, your care, homes , to paraphrase one of your last guests. he has a tenuous grasp of the truth . he's a liar and an of the truth. he's a liar and an inept sociopath. he has no humour , humanity, no humility . humour, humanity, no humility. he went, i'll get me out here and said, you want to

forgiveness for what mr. x were made in court and we all accept that. but then to start to blame. he blames sunak for no ppe. he blamed england for the discharge of people back into homes. he denied that ever happened on his diaries on. the april the second he said there was no testing . the largest wake was no testing. the largest wake of the first wave of deaths in care was that week . we had no care was that week. we had no testing . so if he says that we testing. so if he says that we were moving . were moving. and you know it , were moving. and you know it, caused a lot of upset that you know with care homes thinking we did every thing we possibly could do as some of those staff. well living on site deliberately , not going

on site deliberately, not going home to the family bring anything back and forth people didn't go nurses, matron nobody was checking they they and home so you know you can see how they're feeling insulted kind of homeowners now . yeah i mean my homeowners now. yeah i mean my sense is in general are quite understand of the fact that this pandemic unprecedented . you know pandemic unprecedented. you know there were ways in which we passed. there are ways in which we were for the wrong kind of pandemic. basically, i think british planning was about an influenza pandemic , not a influenza pandemic, not a coronavirus pandemic. influenza pandemic, not a coronavirus pandemic . and of coronavirus pandemic. and of course, in a situation like not every decision is right, mistakes get made . i think mistakes get made. i think what's needed now is not finger pointing and point . it's pointing and point. it's actually a big lessons learned project so that we're ready for the next thing. and i think i think that's and i think that's what an i guess the whole sort of investigation be into it wouldn't you again what have we learned that and andrew. well i

was in there i was in downing street for the whole time and i was taken off transport my job to do covid stuff and i've got to do covid stuff and i've got to say, i don't recognise some of the things that matt hancock was saying in the diary extracts i've read in the papers i think on the it was unprecedented. it was, you know, we were we had to kind of do it as we were going along, but in the end overall, i think did all right. it didn't do brilliantly it didn't do terribly. it was kind of mid table in terms of desperate the population, which is the only fair measure. we're 19th or 20th worst in europe , but out of worst in europe, but out of that, 45 countries. so that's not brilliant, but it's not too bad given the density of our population and given the, you know, the international we have. but some of those quotes in is diaries. you didn't recognise. i've got to say some of the events he described didn't a lot, didn't feel the same from my point of view. let's try and get back to david crabtree.

david hopefully all sounds work in working. we lost you before when you were in in mid flow but i just, i just wondered, david, i just, i just wondered, david, i mean, obviously one of the things that matt hancock says is not only did you allow staff work when they were infected, covid, you also didn't isolate eight patients when they came back from hospital in a way that he that he told you to do . what he that he told you to do. what what you say about that what do you say about that accusation? dealing accusation? we've been dealing with flu and viruses for many, many years. so if anybody gets flu or they get coronavirus, obviously you isolate we did everything possible . we were everything possible. we were scrambling for ppe . there was scrambling for ppe. there was there was no testing . so it there was no testing. so it wasn't possible to know whether staff with a symptoms or residents were asymptomatic like pretty sick we mistakes were made that's fine but then what we need then is not somebody saying i'm going to blame the care home owners are going to

blame sukar. i'm going to blame the man needs to disappear. and because of his ineptness in every decision making is careering down a north korea line . he will careering down a north korea line. he will be careering down a north korea line . he will be gone careering down a north korea line. he will be gone in 18 months out of the public view and we can all breathe a sigh of relief. and david like nick said, there are lessons going forward. what would you say, and if you were , i don't know, part if you were, i don't know, part of a report going forward, what would you want on the record that we should learn ? there was that we should learn? there was no care. home deaths in hong kong and i emailed my fabulous local mp and said to him, we be decamping into the empty hotels to isolate for ten days and then moving them back into care home that they belong to . and that that they belong to. and that would be your take away from it. that's what . i don't know

that's what. i don't know if david's got it, that okay, will. thank david crabb very, very much indeed forjoining us today. and we've got that final point. and that's what we need to do. david crabtree, thank you very much indeed . is that very much indeed. is that possible that they had , i don't possible that they had, i don't know, nightingale hospitals the time they had hotels, we wouldn't have hotels now because we've got people to into the country are staying in country who are staying in hotels. that separation the hotels. but that separation the safe place of separation . yeah. safe place of separation. yeah. i mean, obviously that's i think one of the lessons that needs to be learned that with this kind of pandemic, you know , you're of pandemic, you know, you're going to have rules like distance saying and isolation and so on. we obviously don't want to do this too readily. and so on. we obviously don't want to do this too readily . we want to do this too readily. we don't want to embrace the costs of those things too quickly. but in extreme events , a pandemic of in extreme events, a pandemic of this kind , we will need we would this kind, we will need we would need similar responses . but we need similar responses. but we may be we may be for warned and forearmed this time . the bit forearmed this time. the bit that was done about this is that

there's supposed to be pandemic diaries, which always thought diaries, which i always thought diaries, which i always thought diaries you diaries were things that you published that were at the time. and he's had isabella isabella shot news clearly shot to him write news clearly or written after the event, wasn't it so show him. his wasn't it so show him. so his brilliant quantities of perspicacity foresight and it's just, it's another aspect of the dishonesty . afraid. yes. well dishonesty. afraid. yes. well was a bit i was i didn't want to somehow needed a ghost—writer you know the diaries you publish the diaries don't you don't write. well it to make the facts fit the story you want to i'm guessing that know anyway coming up the season of strikes continues to sweep the nation as thousands of ambulance workers and other nhs staff are set to . and other nhs staff are set to. strike. we'll be discussing this after so go anywhere .

welcome back. it's 1125 and

welcome back. it's1125 and i hear andrew gilligan's here . hear andrew gilligan's here. nick timothy's here. the gang is . and so what does this christmas strike action mean for nhs patients? look here to tell us more is a gp , dr. fari ahmad. us more is a gp, dr. fari ahmad. so hello, dr. fari . now most of so hello, dr. fari. now most of us are anxious. i'm being brutally honest with you. most of us are anxious and we're thinking, what does this strike action mean at the moment should you fall ill over the christmas penod you fall ill over the christmas period or a loved one falls ill ? so it is you know, it's worrying . i think ? so it is you know, it's worrying. i think , you ? so it is you know, it's worrying . i think , you know, if worrying. i think, you know, if you are unwell and you need get to hospital quickly and you do rely on an ambulance so i completely understand if people getting worried but you know the reality that for a long time we've been in struggling to get ambulances to in get people into

hospital in the right amount of time. i've lost count of the number of times we've been treating somebody who's been poorly unwell, you know at the surgery they've said it's going to be another few you know it , to be another few you know it, the problem with the ambulance service has been going on for quite a now. and i think they are striking which i don't think he's going to improve things. but the situation is terrible and you have to remember that every time that they don't that that's some of this money that's someone who's poorly who needs to go with them going to struggle to get to a place where they can get the help they need. yeah. and i think, i think that's and this is what we know about sort of the delays with the ambulances. and it's a multitude of reasons we can't get people out of hospitals and the of delayed because the sort of delayed because there's nowhere for the ambulance go then going ambulance to go and then going to strike action. but the to be strike action. but the things that might not things now that we might not necessary really know about there's talk now has the planning and ordering been done

right of anti biotics and that sort of come to the fore as people are talking about strep a and preventative antibiotics being given out of precaution . being given out of precaution. yeah so that's very much like our experience of the cold. so you know the there has been an increase incidence of strep a but sadly they've been an increased number of deaths of , increased number of deaths of, children. so people are worried . and what we've had is it's really not been organised very well. i think we have some guidance on the weekend that said lower your threshold for treating people who you suspect might be having strep. so and that was it . and, you know , that was it. and, you know, literally, i think from monday that we've we've , you know, that we've we've, you know, worried parents with sick children and they need to be seen and you're seeing them and yes there are some of those who possibly might face or will need antibiotics . and then the second

antibiotics. and then the second problem we were encountering is that they're running out of antibiotic . so usually children antibiotic. so usually children get in liquid form . you know, by get in liquid form. you know, by monday we an email from our local pharmacy sorry we've got three bottles of this , two three bottles of this, two bottles of this and one of this great still all afternoon surgery to go through now they were advice on using tablets and crushing them and putting them in jam or making a suspension. and you're . right. it should and you're. right. it should have been organised , should have have been organised, should have been thinking, oh , this is going been thinking, oh, this is going to be a problem, let's make we've got these supplies in place, get them where they're needed thing needed because the last thing you if worried about your you want, if worried about your child to cold seven different child is to cold seven different places trying to get the treatment they need. i just wondered what what do you make of do you make of people in the nhs going strike? mean do you nhs going strike? i mean do you think right people think that it's right for people in to on strike or do in the nhs to on strike or do you think they should, you you think that they should, you know, they've got , they should know, they've got, they should have least a moral obligation have at least a moral obligation

to the people who to keep serving the people who fall ill. isn't that the whole point. the nhs and wanted to work the nhs that's really work in the nhs that's really difficult one that's a really difficult one that's a really difficult i think you know working for the nhs is heartbreaking because you can't do the job you're supposed , you do the job you're supposed, you can't care for people because you know you can't get them in, you know you can't get them in, you can't get investigations done, they're having treatments. the cancer rates have gone up, the ambulance waits gone up. you can't get them out of hospital. so you literally watching people become more and more poorly and you can't do anything about it . you can't do anything about it. you know, we do say and we've been to say, look, we need more and can help with this, but it doesn't seem to be heard. so at the i personally am know i don't think that would be for me and that's for each person each individual and each group to decide . but i individual and each group to decide. but i think individual and each group to decide . but i think there should decide. but i think there should be plans made to make people are

kept safe . whatever happens with kept safe. whatever happens with the strikes . dr. farry will end the strikes. dr. farry will end it there. the signal isn't isn't wonderful, but thank you for joining us and bringing us up to date on up to speed on some of those things are happening. and i'll ask you , nick, there is i'll ask you, nick, there is a difficult question for dr. farry to answer, but as phil said, should people in the nhs, should they be able go on strike? well i mean, it's obviously a different difficult moral question. i mean, i think the issue with the nhs at the moment issue with the nhs at the moment is probably threefold . and is probably threefold. and firstly, it's obviously still recovering post—covid lots , recovering post—covid lots, backlogs, etc. there's just a problem with the way the nhs works right now . so the lansley works right now. so the lansley reforms and the introduction of the commissioning that that meant i think huge bureaucracy which at some point needs to be swept away again and then we need to work out how to run it

and to make it accountable and that there's this pressure on the cost of living for everybody, including doctors and nurses. and so on, you know, the dreadful about the situation with inflation is, you know, inflation means that we're not collectively as a country, as as we thought we were. so none of are be able to have pay are going to be able to have pay rises that the cost of rises that match the cost of living so there may be scope for people to have reasonable rises but you know we're all in for a for a squeeze a period of pain and i think what dr. farry alluded to there was lack of planning. how is the sort of management in the system working? we're hearing different stories and she's clearly saying there's a shortage of antibiotics for young children who need them. the right. thank you. coming we'll be joined believe it or not, by two. i don't believe it's by two naturists. no i certainly don't believe it to, you know not in the studio feel as british naturism group's annual clothes free event was hosted at alton towers. there is something to forward to. that's after the

headunes forward to. that's after the headlines with reality . yes yes headlines with reality. yes yes phillip and believe it has to because i've seen them sitting in reception quite a treat for her in just a second. it's 1133. her in just a second. it's1133. your top stories from the gb newsroom, the chancellor has announced plans to overhaul the financial sector by to review and replace hundreds of pages of eu regulations . don't the eu regulations. don't the edinburgh reform jeremy hunt says brexit's provided a golden opportunity to reshape the rules. more than 30 regulatory changes have been unveiled, including reversing some measures introduce following the 2008 financial crash . the prime 2008 financial crash. the prime minister says the reforms will keep the uk competitive if there a million people employed in financial services and they're not just in the london in the

what happened there and anthony said about matt . well he totally said about matt. well he totally mismanaged the health well margaret says i totally disagree with all the criticisms about matt hancock okay we all disapprove of him being caught out with a secret lover, but he who is without sin cast the first stone like that one. and rob said the gp is blaming everyone. surely they should have been also organising the number of antibiotics they needed and maybe if they saw more patients there would be less pressure on. a and a keep your views coming in now. last week hundreds of nudists flocked to alton towers to bare all at its 15 annual weekend of the theme park . around 450 people theme park. around 450 people from the british naturism group headed to the attraction for weekend of clothes free events . weekend of clothes free events. but what exactly is the appeal ? but what exactly is the appeal? naturism i'm baring all well. some you who are eagle eyed will noficed some you who are eagle eyed will noticed that andrew gilligan and timothy have left. and joining

us now is nature's husband and wife, helen and simon very much so , i have to say, my first so, i have to say, my first thought, if you don't mind me helen was blooming neck it's outside wouldn't it be the time of year to book clothes shouldn't naturism be seasonal ? shouldn't naturism be seasonal? ideally, yes . yeah, yeah . ideally, yes. yeah, yeah. obviously it's colder today, but it's not cold in here. it's okay. it's i guess. i guess the question that people want to know is what's the attraction of sort of going around naked ? i sort of going around naked? i mean, i don't go round , but it's mean, i don't go round, but it's more clothing when necessary . more clothing when necessary. okay. okay. you just it less necessary than the rest of us, you know , it's a freedom, it's you know, it's a freedom, it's deliberation , it's reckoned , deliberation, it's reckoned, listening, your mind . i no listening, your mind. i no longer care what people. but he thinks that i to look a certain way or dress in a certain way. i've lost all that i've left all behind and just free. now there's something appealing to that. so i'd say of us don't

have the confidence to be naked in a way. so i get that . but as in a way. so i get that. but as i said , i'm so nash. i have some i said, i'm so nash. i have some form of jumper or long johns on pretty much all time but again why did you become a sort of and naturist? how did you get involved? how did you know to become one? well, to be honest, i guess i've never really had an issue being naked. i've never had an issue with my body, really. and . i you know, i'm really. and. i you know, i'm less of an interesting story, i guess, in that regard . i guess guess, in that regard. i guess that's just why i needed to put certain items , clothing on. and certain items, clothing on. and when you start thinking it, what's up? what do purpose of them actually serve other than because you're told to you suppose they're a form of protectionism the certain things. they think, oh, that's a bit danger, use them or get trapped into. something caught in something. yeah, that's it clothing there for protection clothing is there for protection basically protection basically. the protection from the protection from frying

the cold protection from frying , whatever. you know it's but it's not necessary out of routine . yeah. so i've just spy routine. yeah. so i've just spy too but i don't know if you can see because the strap is across there, you don't where you close but you've got metal . what are but you've got metal. what are the pieces . so that's a sort of the pieces. so that's a sort of some sort of individualisation i suppose yeah. just jewellery. yeah.i suppose yeah. just jewellery. yeah. i just want to know how, what reaction do you get from people a good reactions, you know it's like it's a confidence thing, it's a freedom. i find that people in this community are so much less judgement , more are so much less judgement, more so than the textile community . so than the textile community. no one judges you just. the textile community , every right textile community, every right into the outer world, i suppose. don't you? so. so what's the numbers now? it seems to be a bit of a or it's appeared that way hasn't it. through the 60 on the increase a growing phenomenon certainly been just a ipsos poll not that ago that showed that numbers have jumped to 14% of the population,

describing themselves as either nudist or naturist with the numbers being almost as high as one into right under 35. and do you believe those figures? because they seem very, very high . me, i mean, the one and high. me, i mean, the one and two figures about people who have taken part in some form of event, such as naked or to species and the like and, and to be honest, i think i do believe them. you know, they are there does seem a much more generally accepted. i'm what sort of you know, what would you sort be doing what sort of events what what would you do sort of cycling naked as the well naked bike ride is a popular one. so on throughout . so this survey on throughout. so this survey coming i'd be thinking oh well i might not throw the football or something. what would i be do with my naturist friends at this time of year there's very few opportunities i will admit, which is why we do have the large organised events such as the alton towers weekend. what did you do that is the water

part basically have the water park open and take over the hotel . how then what would you hotel. how then what would you say if somebody out there is thinking themselves, you know, you know, i've find this quite appealing, but, you know, like i said, it's a confidence . you said, it's a confidence. you know, i know how to pluck up the courage. would you say to people , how do people sort of pluck up the courage to take that first step? it's a difficult one. and no amount of talking about it is ever going to make you sort of understand the experience. but i would probably say just going to like a naturist club. and i work at one. the naturist foundation in orpington , go along there in orpington, go along there with a friend clothing optional you forced to be naked if you're if you're not comfortable and who mentioned it first to either of you . oh okay so you knew you of you. oh okay so you knew you wouldn't you you were the one spreading the word of nature's. we're going to have to have that conversation. philip yeah, have no. who's going to say first. i've lots . you're welcome along i've lots. you're welcome along to fountain got your club to the fountain got your club

okay. fair enough. other out on when we have people descending on us for christmas, it's really tempting to do it. on us for christmas, it's really tempting to do it . they've tempting to do it. they've arrived. you've got yourself a bit of a expectations state if you like. you're anticipating . you like. you're anticipating. everything's got to be perfect and then you know somebody off uncle charlie turns up and he's forgotten to bring his teeth or something. and he's got to be sitting there slurping you sit next to you. i think you've just got to keep stuffing perspective. remember this is a really, really short time of year. really, really short time of year . and it's interesting, this year. and it's interesting, this survey that jo suchi commissioned , they just wanted commissioned, they just wanted to look at the things annoyed people about and unbelievably , people about and unbelievably, 82% of people said it's the noise is that people make. it's the mess that they make when they're eating. but i if we can keep stuff in perspective , keep stuff in perspective, remember, this is just a really time. it just might even be just for a let alone a couple for a hours, let alone a couple of days and it'll be over. they

they would have gone. so, you know, really that have your know, really that you have your fun noises. you say then put on loud music so you don't hear the noises and if the message do we give them all bibs. well, i suppose could. that is one way, but i think one of the things is maybe not to single people out and say , god, you've got to sit and say, god, you've got to sit in the tree in the naughty chair at the end or anything like that, because i think would that, because i think that would be unfair. but i think be a bit unfair. but i think what we've got to keep in perspective, if gets too much because you're sitting next to somebody chomping away and smacking or smacking that the lips or whatever, just take yourself away from the situation for a few seconds. literally just have to just go to the kitchen , to to just go to the kitchen, to the just kind of to the toilet, just kind of want to round outside or something like that. they amazing what will that. and they amazing what will happen. reduce happen. the anxiety will reduce and you'll think , okay, i've and you'll think, okay, i've got to next to them, but to go sit next to them, but i can then get again in minutes can then get up again in minutes if i can then get up again in minutes ifi need can then get up again in minutes if i need they're getting on if i need to. they're getting on my nerves. it's amazing how you'll be able to tolerate and remember people when remember to breathe people when they on the they get anxious on the way across , kind forget to

obviously what's happened with the documentary so the latest now that the royal household is bracing themselves for what they see will a poison being unleashed in the next three episodes and harry and meghan's as i call it which is coming out next thursday . we've had the next thursday. we've had the first three which landed yesterday . obviously, there's yesterday. obviously, there's been some revelations in there that have been hotly discussed and there wasn't. i to huge and there wasn't. ito huge a bombshell that wasn't really big bombshells that we were getting with the oprah documentary. you know back when they when they first left the royal family but now there was some palace was some mean digs they weren't that sort of. yes. against kate . oh sort of. yes. against kate. oh i'm such a what's it cuddly ugly sort of person says married naked with the british you know, the british people aren't too . the british people aren't too. and what's on the outside also on the inside, there are lots of little that they to little digs that they gave to the unnecessary. also sought the unnecessary. and also sought to lacking in material to be lacking in material thought well, this is it. so thought. well, this is it. so that's what was the point. i was

going to esther, which going to get on to esther, which was interesting. was was interesting. so there was those thinly veiled barbs. yes, maybe although maybe call them. although meghan, i don't know. she probably bombs also probably them truth bombs also or something. so the californian. but i think what it is, is the fact that they were having to draw on other people almost to pat the content out, you know, getting the likes one and a few were hirsch and people like that to come in and speak but what also interesting is very much everyone meghan's i felt there was hardly from prince harry's side apart from his friend nikki scott school and there wasn't really his other school friends that were talking seemed like it was very meghan dominic said what he told me to be oh doesn't he seems to be absolutely as i said, besotted by it and, saying things like oh it reminds me of my mother. my mother. my mother is sort of projected princess diana onto us. yes, there is also that seems to be another that was coming out is the fact he's still not been able to

process what to his mum. he still hasn't able to come terms with it. and i can understand that he was only 12, he was a little boy when he lost his mother. but he's clearly had such a devastate, an impact on his life. and he's he's holding on still make grievances. and on to still make grievances. and he talks about mental health and he talks about mental health and he talks about sharing the he's clearly quite, quite troubled, i think still by by everything. so next week the royals are bracing themselves what's going to be themselves what's going to be the new revelations coming? you know what is there left to say? but we've also got harvey's book, which is still to come as well. and that was what the royal household was really bracing themselves about, is bracing themselves about, was is it to damaging to the it going to be damaging to the firm the way that the run. firm and the way that the run. but after is the really anything left for this couple to say ? left for this couple to say? well, the thing is that i mean, it seems to me this is far more damaging for harry and meghan than it is for the royal family yes. and i think the thing that upset lots people was the sort

of mock curtsy that she did on the. oh, that was awful about how he looked a little bit embarrassed blanching, wasn't he. see. then he. his face you could see. then he. his face you could see. then he to of smile awkwardly , he tried to of smile awkwardly, you know, sort of laugh it off, but was you could see he was but it was you could see he was deeply that. it was horror deeply with that. it was horror that horrible, wasn't it? that was horrible, wasn't it? really disrespect the really just disrespect for the queen his grandmother . queen to his grandmother. exactly. i mean, exactly. and also, i mean, either the used that either the queen used that phrase recollections may but when their documentary when you watch their documentary and she says oh, she couldn't remember when she did the curtsy the first time she met her. and then here she demonstrating. there's a little bit of time and a little bit of money in a netflix sales made over a lot roberts and fantastic as always with all the latest . well, with all the latest. well, that's it. that's all we've got time for today. phil and i will be back tomorrow at 10 am. so we've got some cracking lines up.and we've got some cracking lines up. and coming up next, there's a wonderful piece . hello again. a wonderful piece. hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office. it's been a cold morning for most of us with the widespread frost to start the

day, but dry bright this afternoon for the vast majority, however, are still some however, there are still some showers around showers showers around those showers coming in around an area of low pressure and depending the pressure and depending on the wind direction , we'll see wind direction, well, we'll see some showers brought in some of those showers brought in from coast increasingly from the coast increasingly it'll be western and northern coasts rather than coast. and so actually for many, it's a sunny afternoon , southern scotland, afternoon, southern scotland, northern england , the midlands, northern england, the midlands, east anglia and parts of the south. we'll see some sunshine, but areas of cloud and some showers continue to affect the north of scotland into the irish sea coast through the day, wherever you are, the temperatures will be on the low side, 2 to 4 celsius at the and in some spots particularly of higher ground. those temperatures staying freezing andifs temperatures staying freezing and it's over higher ground where the snow will most significantly up through the night. northern scotland, especially a few more centimetres here, but of centimetres here, but parts of northern ireland inland as well as parts of north—west as inland, parts of north—west england, and perhaps england, north wales and perhaps of the southwest later on around coastal areas where we get sleet

and rain showers and temperatures falling below freezing , some icy patches freezing, some icy patches around the northern and western parts as we begin the weekend. a widespread frost. wherever you are, though, temperatures in some sheltered spots below minus six . and where we've got some six. and where we've got some snow cover across scotland as temperatures potentially below minus ten celsius. so through saturday, further showers come in the north and across what some of these western again over any parts the north any higher parts of the north and we'll some snow, and west, we'll see some snow, some lower levels. but around some at lower levels. but around the coast, rain and the coast, mainly rain and sleet, showers . and for sleet, showers. and for many actually away from these northern and western coast, it's sunny skies through saturday and then another widespread frost . then another widespread frost. on saturday there'll be on saturday night, there'll be some dense freezing patches some dense freezing fog patches on saturday night as well. so some poor visibility about on sunday , but eventually sunday morning, but eventually that will be replaced by sunny spells it stays cold into spells and it stays cold into next week . join me, laurence fox next week. join me, laurence fox on gb news frank , fun, fearless on gb news frank, fun, fearless and sometimes much as i love a friday night punch up what i

actions and but it's still also saying the royal family bad to date and is a nefarious influence on world and that's what makes me so upset. it's

saying the royal family is basically empire 2.0. and i think this point any facade of harry's still maintaining that he loves and respects his grandmother. with enough b.s. to fill all of them. and it's all me, me, me. this couple are so narcissistic, they make donald trump look like a shrinking violet. so they're up themselves as this film. devon's traits. but they're stupid to . yes, they're making stupid to. yes, they're making a lot of money , but they haven't
