goodbye to the late queen elizabeth the great at her platinum jubilee. now, here at dan wootton tonight, we were at the heart of all of those headunes the heart of all of those headlines and more with plenty of the biggest names in news, politics and spilling their biggest to me. so me, as i take a look back at, our biggest bombshells of the year. and we kick off with the shocking story of the tainui jihadi , the first of the tainui jihadi, the first british woman to be jailed for joining isis in 14 at the age of just 24 to she kale used her student loan to flee to syria the following year she was in chains at heathrow after escaping the death code, having served three years in prison and completed a de—radicalize station program during a sat down with for her first tv interview where i pressed on why she deserved forgiveness from britain. i you and believed you . but i cannot understand. i simply cannot understand how

someone who seemingly so much going for them lived in a great country like the uk, had a supportive family . i would supportive family. i would defect to fight for isis and can you understand why some folk are going to be sitting at home tonight saying that three years in jail , it's not enough. it's in jail, it's not enough. it's not a big enough punishment for what you did . not a big enough punishment for what you did. i not a big enough punishment for what you did . i mean, not a big enough punishment for what you did. i mean, i not a big enough punishment for what you did . i mean, i totally what you did. i mean, i totally get that reaction about three years, not long enough. and some people may be of that opinion. however, at the time when i decided to run away, you know , decided to run away, you know, yes, i was living in a great country like england and had a supportive but the life i was living at that time in, my marriage a lot of domestic violence , it's really unhappy . violence, it's really unhappy. unfortunately, years of had built up to me feeling like i there was nothing out for me to do. i had nowhere else to turn

nowhere else to go . and a nowhere else to go. and a supportive . when you're speaking supportive. when you're speaking to people online being groomed you know you're isolated from your family . so how old were you your family. so how old were you at this point.7 24 to 24 years old. and go down what i would describe as the rabbit hole of social media. yeah and it's facebook where you met these folk who ended up radicalising you and encouraging you to go to turkey. so what happened on on on social media? why on social media where you all of a sudden posting isis messages is seeming to support this organisation ? to support this organisation? how on earth can facebook radicalise an ordinary british woman to that extent? i mean, i was speaking to people who were in syria fighting, and they would always put their point across and justify what they were fighting for and, you know, it became apparent that they would say to you need to make hijrah, hijrah is islamic

migration and kind of led you to believe that you have to go and live there, otherwise you'll go to hell if you stay a country that's not a muslim country. and you kind of felt like it was your obligation. so it was to do with the people i was speaking to and the things that they were saying. okay, so you end up in syria and unlike some of the other isis brides , we've seen other isis brides, we've seen very quickly, you realise , holy very quickly, you realise, holy cow, i made the biggest mistake of my life. yeah but can you just confirm to me, can you look me in the eye and confirm to me that you were not responsible for any violence over there? because there are some messages that you sent that raised that you sent that have raised the question whether you the question as to whether you were no, absolutely not. were or not? no, absolutely not. so you would never involve in any murders of anyone, any killings of anyone. you would never involved in any violence personally? no. absolutely and so you're over there . you're in so you're over there. you're in a house. you will at least

witness terrible things going on around you. and you realise you've made the biggest mistake of your life. yeah. so how does it feel in that moment? despair you know know , feeling that you know know, feeling that i will never be able to back. and even if i did , you know. is even if i did, you know. is there any point going back anyway? because i'm in a lot of trouble when i go home, i'm going to go to prison. they're going to go to prison. they're going to go to prison. they're going to take my child with me. but it just came the point but it just came to the point where you the need want where you the need and the want to home just became greater to go home just became greater than was than thinking about what was going to happen to me upon. so at that moment know it was despair is the only word i can use. reality of the use. now the grim reality of the obesity was laid bare with a worrying in may that 42 million brits, that 71% of us will be overweight or obese by 2040. well, one man who knows the struggle to stay healthy all too well is reality starjames well is reality star james argent, who was told he was on death row after he ballooned to 27 stone at the height of the

pandemic. but after losing a phenomenal 13 stone age, join me in january to show off his incredible transformation. i just lost all motivation. i got ready, depressed. i struggled. obviously i had my addiction problems in the past and i really feel like i caught a substitute alcohol and stuff for food and i went all the way from being 27 you know, i went all the way from around 1516. stone to 27 stone. and it comes a point where i couldn't even tie my own. i couldn't stop my own shoelaces. i'd, i'd make to leave the house. and i want to do positive things today. i want to achieve this. i want to set these goals . but where i was so these goals. but where i was so depressed and i was binge eating, i'd make all these plans . but then i had just been so tired and so on, motivated, so lethargic that i would end up just not leaving my house. and that was one of the terrible things about lockdown and one of the reasons i campaigned so hard against it, because for people who were battling addiction

issues or had psychological issues, it did. is it issues, what it did. is it inflamed them because you couldn't do all of those usual things that you do to cope with the you were literally locked in your absolute and actually you know of i've been to rehab and stuff and when they when you leave they say one of the most important things to do please do not isolate and literally i always add on tv you'll be told to isolate. so foreign law by law so far for an addict in lockdown is extremely extremely hard . i mean, how can you even hard. i mean, how can you even have you couldn't even have people checking up on you or saying how you were or being there for you. you wasn't allowed to go. so each other's houses, you know, addicts that were really suffering there being house alone and they won't have people knocking on door have people knocking on the door or visit them, coming or coming to visit them, coming to if they're right. to see if they're all right. i think it's actually disgrace, actually. really difficult actually. it's really difficult . at actually led to . but for you at actually led to something very positive . yes.

something very positive. yes. because you made this life changing decision . it's a big changing decision. it's a big decision. a massive decision and it's not easy. you know, a lot of people. yeah, i have had a few people say, well, you know, i get congrats like it because it's such a drastic cause you look incredible. i feel good. you know i feel i feel like i mean at that trans mean look at that trans physically and mentally it's the best i've felt. you know best i've ever felt. i you know but say, oh, but you to have people say, oh, well you know weight loss surgery is cheating blah surgery is cheating and blah blah comes a huge, huge blah but it comes a huge, huge sacrifice .

now, in 2022, we finally got our freedom back in the uk after close to two years of punishing and cruel lockdowns . but covid and cruel lockdowns. but covid still reared its ugly head across the world, courtesy of leftie and authoritarians in disguise like justin trudeau, whose kyle kempner joined me in whose kyle kempnerjoined me in february to slam the pm's crack

down on freedom convoy. protests against mandates this year also saw the launch of the covid inquiry. but amid growing fears of a whitewash, i held my very own locked out , calling major own locked out, calling major political players, including lord frost. he was the first to quit government over insane covid measures and the disgrace secretary matt hancock to give you the evidence you needed to heat you the evidence you needed to hear. so how difficult has that been for family relations ? you been for family relations? you know, they say you can. oh, thank you for having me on the show, don. appreciate it you know, they say you you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. and i really do love my brother justin. with with all heart. and i'm very with all my heart. and i'm very grateful to have had him in my life and to have been part of my upbringing and that he's taught me. but i feel like , you know, me. but i feel like, you know, over the last , me. but i feel like, you know, over the last, i don't know, decade, we've drifted apart my philosophy and politically are

are really about fundamental views on liberty and freedom and with this . covid scam whatever with this. covid scam whatever we want to call it , with this. covid scam whatever we want to call it, you with this. covid scam whatever we want to call it , you know, we want to call it, you know, it's been two years of fear, fear, fear from my brother and the media. and you know the global the global corporatocracy . this is connect people creating uncertainty doubt mental health challenges division amongst everybody. the tensions been so long and so why 7 tensions been so long and so why ? why is your brother doing this? why does he want to see divide canada? have you been able to work it out . well i mean able to work it out. well i mean l, able to work it out. well i mean i, can i have my own kind of philosophies on it but it seems to be that that's that's the

script that is you know, he representing a pharmaceutical agenda and a world economic forum , bill and melinda gates forum, bill and melinda gates kind of agenda that is decidedly un and it wasn't ever voted on canadians never voted for vaccine mandates and you know we've been disconnected this trucker convoy most has created a sense an opportunity unity and for people come together and make no mistake what ottawa what's going on in ottawa isn't hateful and swastikas are not flying on street corners that was one photo that would never in a crowd that was cherry picked then retweeted by the you know the mainstream meme pharmacy media that just pushed this to try and slander the entire movement . but the reality entire movement. but the reality on the streets been talking to this truckers i've been talking to people. they're cleaning up the streets across time is down.

they're sharing there's community there's dancing this high vibration , there's music high vibration, there's music and just want our freedom and they just want our freedom back. and they just want our freedom back . i and they just want our freedom back. i do and they just want our freedom back . i do have to and they just want our freedom back. i do have to admit, lord, it was one of my frustrations throughout this pandemic that . throughout this pandemic that. there seemed to be so little pushback from the cabinet against the dodgy modelling thing, against the hysterical epidemiologists , and i need to epidemiologists, and i need to understand why , why that was the understand why, why that was the case case . so, i mean , i don't case case. so, i mean, i don't want to give away secrets . i want to give away secrets. i shouldn't, but i think it's hardly a secret. so that's the evidence at times was presented kind of late in excessive detail and there never was much an effort to kind of trade off the economic effects social the facts against the health effects and if you're a mental minister who's doing a day job and you're presenters with this, then you've got to be very of your own judgement to say that all

these experts have got it wrong and i'm right. and i think that's why this went on for long. i do think what to me one of the most troubling things of this whole last two years is the factit this whole last two years is the fact it took so long for us to come out of lockdown from these measures . i come out of lockdown from these measures. i don't find it so surprising that we initially went into it. but as the evidence and as it became clearer , it was not so dangerous clearer, it was not so dangerous that the vaccines were effective and so on. the reaction didn't to adjust to that and, i still find that quite surprising . but find that quite surprising. but i think what i've just said is one of the reasons people were looking elsewhere. they had other and you tend to defer to the experts unless you're 100% sure. the adjustment . did the experts unless you're 100% sure. the adjustment. did you sign off order from the nhs ceo to discharge elderly from hospital back into care homes without them in march 20, 20?

well, in march 2020 we didn't have the tests that we needed . have the tests that we needed. we didn't have a testing regime. that's one of the lessons of pandemic. we didn't have a testing regime at any scale . but testing regime at any scale. but what we do. what time do you say didn't have enough tests? well at that time, i mean, because between the 17th of march and the 15th of april, about 25,000 people were discharged from hospitals into facility . is that hospitals into facility. is that according to the national audit office? and that point , you office? and by that point, you already had capacity for , 10,000 already had capacity for, 10,000 daily tests and. they were over 530,000 tests carried out in the uk the 20th of april. so there was a testing capacity available . you chose not to use it on people being discharged into the care homes? well, it had to be clinically prioritised and to clinically prioritised and to clinically prioritised and to clinically prioritise . no, i clinically prioritise. no, i know, but you just said the tests weren't available. i'm just making them. they were available. what i said was enough tests important enough tests weren't important difference because then once you have a certain of tests and we

started with, know, 100 started with, you know, 100 tests a day and then we got the right to a 10,000 tests a day. i think was by the end of by the start of april. and then i set that 100,000 tests a day target . make sure we had a lot. yes, right . i know that was the key right. i know that was the key moment . yeah, this was the key moment. yeah, this was the key was to make the choice. so, so well, let me just ask, did care home operators warn your department right at the start of the pandemic, not to discharge hospital patients into care homes without a test? so they warn you, we didn't have the enough tests available to be able to do that without removing tests from other people for whom they were a life saving medicine and let me do you acknowledge you were warned of that? i don't have recollection of that. okay. with the care what wider alliance this is important, they emailed you directly. alliance this is important, they emailed you directly . they emailed you directly. they didn't email your department. they emailed you directly and. they emailed you directly and. they said all people discharge

from hospital to social care settings must be tested before your discharge. but the thing . your discharge. but the thing. did you get that email or no , did you get that email or no, the thing is that in a situation like a pandemic , right, where like a pandemic, right, where you have a limited for testing and we needed a bigger capacity and we needed a bigger capacity and we needed a bigger capacity and we were building that bigger capacity then got to decide, okay, how do we use these tests? yes. and you've as the as the politician in an environment you've , got to follow the you've, got to follow the clinical on what use of test is most likely to save lives and i'll come back to the social care point because this is really important. there has been an analysis done of how the virus was most likely to get into care homes and the proportion of infections that got in from discharges according to the evidence is around 2% because the because actually , because the because actually, you know, people who work in

care homes live in the gloom. i've heard you i've heard you before . let me just drop on it. before. let me just drop on it. this is a fact. well, i know what you say. the facts are. well, i you know. no, no , i've well, i you know. no, no, i've got it here. it's the time on the facts. so it's just the public. it's a 2021 public health england report. that's where it comes from. but that data has been dismissed by operators because they point that only some people were being tested . so it's actually tested. so it's actually impartial possible to know take flick rating and chief executive of the national care that says the data behind that analysis was fund mentally flawed and there are others who say that you're actually trying to rewrite an element of history to suit a current narrative on the country . what i'm trying to do country. what i'm trying to do here and this is really important and how could you go if they weren't tested, you must understand that point is so hence analysis was done by testing , by testing samples and testing, by testing samples and to find what the estimate of the

truth and get to the bottom of what are the facts okay and this is why this is one of the reasons i've come on the programme. i think it's really that we learn lessons. you know, number one lesson is have and a big testing capacity right so and we didn't have that i was in the hot seat but hopefully next time you know that we've got to get the evidence base facts in order to learn the right because actually, you know there's another big didn't care homes was incredibly and so i know so i was about to i've got to actually it's a really big thing that happened that doesn't get this sort scrutiny in that space which is that over the summer of 2020, we put place a rules say people shouldn't staff shouldn't move from one care home to another actually that is the thing that is credited by the analysis as making sure that we had much, much . better

had much, much. better performance, frankly, in care homes in this it was these and i understand that and you did make that decision later on. i get that. but so far we've been talking about sending covid positive patients from positive patients coming from hospital what the hospital. no, that's what the discussion that. no that's discussion about that. no that's not talking about not true. we're talking about sending people from and they were sent it to be to were covid positive and they were not tested. and so they were all isolated they were all treated as if they might have the disease and actually, you know, care home providers described the isolation plan as laughable i will, i will and i'll give you this other know case in this argument which is that the increase infections that we saw increase infections that we saw in care homes happened later than significantly after the point at which there were these discharges. so the fact the point is then because but it is important actually what we have to do is learn the right lesson. so what i'm i mean that's i'm

trying to do because the department of health also sent out guidance during the first wave covid positive wave saying covid positive residents symptoms. so this residents with symptoms. so this is with they're not even talking about asymptomatic people where could be admitted from home setting into care home. why did you think that was safe ? because you think that was safe? because you think that was safe? because you have to work out based on the clinical advice what is the most likely thing you mean from italy and you knew from china that the mortality of elderly people you've got is incredibly high . it's incredibly simplistic high. it's incredibly simplistic to make this argument. high. it's incredibly simplistic to make this argument . you have to make this argument. you have to make this argument. you have to look at your likelihood, stick . and i well, i'm about to stick. and i well, i'm about to explain you likelihood for instance of there are people who need to in to get care because their risk of mortality if they stay at home is high. you have take that into account as well so we've got to look at all of the different points and that's what we did look at the time .

now, of course, no, you could pass without woke nonsense from meghan and harry. the pair were barely able to put their feud with witnesses on hold even following the late queen elizabeth, the death meghan's contempt for her own family. meanwhile continued apace to arguably one of her most heartless moves. she failed. reach out to her estranged father, thomas , following a father, thomas, following a devastating stroke in may, which scuppered his plans to cover the platinum jubilee. for us here gb news. meanwhile, megan , samantha news. meanwhile, megan, samantha reached her breaking point, launching a lawsuit for the humiliation the duchess has caused her over the years. i sat down with thomas before his stroke , but i will say on the stroke, but i will say on the record , samantha markle has record, samantha markle has never told me a lie. every single thing she has said about either you or meghan has checked

out factually and she is suing meghan . you're prepared. testify meghan. you're prepared. testify for samantha against meghan , is for samantha against meghan, is that correct ? perhaps me. we're that correct? perhaps me. we're talking about the book the things and the fighting for their lives that's that's the whole thing that this could be carried clear get sent from meghan all the little bits all the lies but also apparently now harry has shot down meghan's twitter account , which is twitter account, which is ridiculous . twitter account, which is ridiculous. if he's shutting down all of the people that have been going after. meghan, there won't be any sort her left. i may help . you mean i think may help. you mean i think samantha's twitter account has

been shut down, hasn't . bye bye, been shut down, hasn't. bye bye, harry. yes and it's ridicule this this sorry just to clarify, thomas, because i wasn't aware this. so you think harry has made a complaint about samantha's twitter account . yes. samantha's twitter account. yes. that's understood . adding that that's understood. adding that apparently he knows the person who runs it and but the bottom line is, if you i mean jack dorsey, if you're if you go after if you after meghan constantly . and there are constantly. and there are thousands of people that are doing and if you if harry has to go and get rid of all those thousands people, there will be a twitter left. there will be twitter now, not that that i think i think that's how how i think i think that's how how i think that's a plus . think i think that's how how i think that's a plus. is it, thomas ? this has reached the thomas? this has reached the point . you might actually have

point. you might actually have to back one of your daughters over another in court . well. to back one of your daughters over another in court . well . be over another in court. well. be honest with you. i love i love both daughters. i'm not happy with what one of my daughters is doing. and i don't know what caused her do this. we've had this conversation before , but this conversation before, but the that she's she's telling lies . and she's been telling lies. and she's been telling lies. and she's been telling lies about me. she's been telling me lies about about my son son. so i have no power. i no problem facing her in court and what she has to say. i'd be the first time i've seen her in four years. i know how sad that am. i was in the hospital that

it's not just you, thomas. who? the us now be now. can you believe that neither prince harry or your daughter are going to travel to the uk for the memorial service . prince philip memorial service. prince philip as a result of this feud that's going with the british government over security, i mean, i don't know if you've seen the queen recently , thomas, seen the queen recently, thomas, she doesn't look that well. i mean, she still healthy mentally she's well you know she's 95 years old. can you believe harry is going to deny the queen the opportunity to meet your granddaughter who he named after the queen queen . i think it's the queen queen. i think it's the queen queen. i think it's the cruellest, meanest thing he do. and i. i have no respect for this man . all i tell to not go this man. all i tell to not go and honour his grandfather , then and honour his grandfather, then not go to the to deny the

children, to the queen. if unforgivable, you shouldn't that and to complain about security. he's crazy. they're there would be tonnes security around there you know he's just making up excuses this is crazy when he was speaking and he had a right to defend himself and set the record straight . straight, that record straight. straight, that is not bashing. and through of that and feeling like he was unjustly defending himself because didn't do anything wrong . she, i believe, had a moral obligation, in my opinion , to obligation, in my opinion, to step forward at any time, to heart attacks . there were no heart attacks. there were no staged photos . there was no staged photos. there was no scandal that was setup. that was a lie . never did she step a lie. never did she step forward , say, god, please forward, say, god, please respect my father. he's done nothing wrong. we'll work this . nothing wrong. we'll work this. never did she contact him to work it out. never did she make

a public statement or contact him privately to make amends as humanitarian and as the daughter that he loves so and gave the world to? i mean, everything that she has now would not exist without my father . and so that without my father. and so that being said, you know god if two heart attacks a pandemic and a stroke do don't speak to her then it's between and god. now there is no other way. if she can't find it in, her heart and doesn't have the moral conscience to reach back to him while he's his life hangs in the balance and he's reaching out to her. then there is no point. and then shame on her. in my opinion , and she's got to live with that. , and she's got to live with that . and if she can do that, that. and if she can do that, well then she can take that to her grave. that's a choice she has to make now. in october ,

has to make now. in october, harry finally made the announcement. the had been dreading, confirming his hatchet job biography spare would be released in the new year. but the royal biography of the belonged to the esteemed biographer , tom bower, whose biographer, tom bower, whose book revenge detailed the war between the sussexes and the rest of the and included the revelation . the late queen was revelation. the late queen was relieved by meghan's snubbing prince philip's funeral during the pandemic in 2021. perhaps the pandemic in 2021. perhaps the most sensational revelation in the book was the fact that the queen on i leave it tell me if i'm wrong. the morning of prince philip's funeral expressed relief that meghan wasn't going to be attending i mean is that is huge what does tell you about meghan's with the royal family. well i think the queen of that day clearly and a pressure deeply upset all rest of it and it came from an impeccable source i just felt

she didn't want to have meghan diverting attention from her husband and from the ceremony and knew that if had come that's what was going to happen. and i think that then express itself again in the jubilee i mean what was really a remarkable story heard was that, you know , meghan heard was that, you know, meghan and harry were late to get to the paul's cathedral deliberately so they could make their own grand entrance. as they were walking down the aisle, they to their seats , nine aisle, they to their seats, nine and ten, they say, well, everyone should move so they could be the on the aisle itself. no, says the usher to, prince harry. no, you're sit nine and ten. who told you ? tell nine and ten. who told you? tell me where to sit. your grandma me to where to sit. your grandma says the after and he goes to the middle and really did in the end control no photographs . on end control no photographs. on the next day the jubilee meeting in windsor castle all the rest. so i think they have we've seen through their cuisine through them and i think charles and william have encouraged to but i think they for hope but my

feeling is that harry is now pondenng feeling is that harry is now pondering whether he should take his revenge as well for having been slighted during the reduced status . and of course, this status. and of course, this revenge would be in the in the book he's going to write meghan has had partly her revenge. you know for winfrey .

i love sparring with my superstar panel on dan wootton tonight at the end of year. i was delighted to welcome the chase star mark gilbert into the family but he first graced my sofa back in may when he sensationally revealed he's been forced to hire bodyguard after being groped fans at public appearances . do you know what ? appearances. do you know what? this was actually such a shock point? because i do think there was real double standard when it comes to male celebrities. you just have to put up with these

these little groups from the ladies. but i guess some people enjoy it and that's maybe what it was. instead, your last point about police singing, etc, i come from a police family, my uncle, my father a grandfather, both great grandfathers and i'm one and i'm pretty sure what happened to me their standard reply would have been and we got enough on play in a friday, saturday night and i'm really lucky that what happens to me there's element of coercion or fear. so i just go whatever . there's element of coercion or fear. so i just go whatever. i'm sure you guys could do better . sure you guys could do better. at the same time, you can't be thinking the alternative that if you switched, you know, when lady tries to pull you face off. today is a case and you're going, hang on, if i did that to you, i'd be going in the cells. my you, i'd be going in the cells. my feeling is it obviously trained lawyer as well. they set law is the rule society sets down for the public abide by but policing is those laws applied

with a mesh of common sense some practicalities . yeah it's wrong practicalities. yeah it's wrong what women do in that situation at the same i wasn't harmed at all. and let's be fair, the police have more than enough to do on a friday saturday night without something else today . without something else today. thatis without something else today. that is certainly true but it did cite at every did shock that you cite at every apparent close happens and it's apparent close happens and it's a variety ages because people want a photo next to me or your crew over here. well we factors we need to and they've all behave themselves but a cut to hair you know i go steve nights nightclubs bingo and it's a bit of booze involved maybe that might be a common factor so you some just go take it what i say a heart someone is my mate i is very much the muttley to my dick dastardly. he's an ex pub landlord so he's far more experienced at dealing with people who've had a drink than i am. so very handy for when he

sees the little old who's coming around for the first time is squeezing my again to just you've done enough love. i'll figure it it's now in july westminster was rocked by the unceremonious ousting of boris johnson after more than 50 of his mps quit over his handling of the chris pincher scandal. but woman who never wavered was his loyal ally nadine dorries . his loyal ally nadine dorries. in the wake of ojo's betrayal, the former culture secretary gave a bombshell with me in which she exposed the hunger for power of rishi sunak , the former power of rishi sunak, the former chancellor, turned back separate eventual as pm you eventual successor as pm you obviously be sitting around the cabinet table with two men. did you have any idea that they were plotting against the prime minister? i have my suspicions , minister? i have my suspicions, not least because when some difficult decisions are taken , difficult decisions are taken, like when we wanted to lift restrictions from it was very difficult to get the chancellor

at meetings to commit to any policy at all. rishi had been planning his campaign to the letter launch ship the day it was ready , and everybody else is was ready, and everybody else is kind of like lying sideways and thinking, what's going on? we've all been working so hard . how all been working so hard. how can he have been that campaign ready? well answer is he wasn't working. so hard. we all were . working. so hard. we all were. and i'm afraid we found ourselves in quite a difficult position . so he was operating as position. so he was operating as the prime minister's chancellor by day but effectively plotting against boris night. i don't know which which the clock he was. he operating it, but it's obvious. you don't think people have proven it by video and other ways . it is obvious that other ways. it is obvious that this has been the cards for a long time. and in the planning under wraps for a long time . and under wraps for a long time. and i don't know how i know how busy

the rest of us are as cabinet ministers in our departments . i ministers in our departments. i frankly don't understand at all how sitting chancellor had any time to even consider what he was doing, let alone planet let alone be campaign , let alone be alone be campaign, let alone be off blocks on day one. i just doesn't make sense to me in any other context. other than he wasn't doing his as chancellor. now, this year marked a major turning for the battle to safeguard our with the closure of the controversial tavistock gender clinic in october. it was a bittersweet victory for brave detransition campaigner kara bell, who was given puberty blockers, testosterone and a double mastectomy before the age of 20 and after, for. double mastectomy before the age of 20 and after, for . just now of 20 and after, for. just now the gender even became part of the gender even became part of the contest to replace boris johnson with one time favourite penny mordant coming up short after being perceived too woke for number 10 while her rivals

over women's suella braverman demonstrated a common sense approach saw her become the breakout political star of the yeah breakout political star of the year. here's what happened when i met them both. can you just talk a little about the lack of scrutiny you feel the tavistock gave to your mental health when they prescribed you with the puberty blockers when they eventually you go through the surgery . yeah i had four surgery. yeah i had four appointments before was or i was prescribed on the fourth appointment. so you had three boys referred . yeah, i was boys referred. yeah, i was referred on my fourth appointment for puberty blockers and yeah. the the whole time it was just superficial . yeah. was just superficial. yeah. there was no no psychoanalysis or anything like that . i mean or anything like that. i mean thatis or anything like that. i mean that is just so to me so shocking to me that you can have three appointments when you were admitting presumably that you

were having struggles with your mental. and their answer to prescribe you how old at 16 years old 16 years old. puberty blockers . yeah. yeah i mean, blockers. yeah. yeah i mean, looking now it's i can't believe it, really. and this is happening so many more people as well. this isn't just the just a freak or something like that's what would tend to think. so this is happening on a large scale since. the increase in referrals and there are statistics to back that up there because , the increase in young because, the increase in young women in particular who make this decision , a teenager to this decision, a teenager to transition , it's overwhelming. transition, it's overwhelming. i mean , it is part of a bizarre mean, it is part of a bizarre trade, isn't . yeah, absolutely . trade, isn't. yeah, absolutely. the social media has a big part to play in that. yeah, it's really just snowballed in the past ten years and the tavistock

hasn't bothered to out why that is. they have no data on it whatsoever. so effectively controlling experiments that have been going on. and of course for you. you did then with the encouragement of the doctors make the decision to have your removed the physical changes to you. a lot of them cannot reversed so presume the mental torture goes on. absolutely it's definitely a journey to better words . yeah. journey to better words. yeah. and i'm doing that all on my own as well. i mean, i never any off the care support and it's still the care support and it's still the same still the case now so yeah it's something that won't be easy but i definitely feel i'm in a better position to deal with things now that i don't have the baggage of just mental

kind of strain that comes with living that kind of life stuff. yeah your experience is that penny mordaunt didn't want to the rights of the and of women and legislation is that correct. my and legislation is that correct. my experience was relating to penny's stewardship of the ministerial and maternity allowances bill which was introduced by for my benefit at the time because i had a baby and you needed maternity leave as attorney general and under the you couldn't get that at the time. that's crazy. it was it was crazy . it was an time. that's crazy. it was it was crazy. it was an anomaly of our system that just by virtue of having a baby, i would have had to resign from my job and have to say to his credit, the prime was absolutely 100% supportive of someone in his top team having a baby , no questions team having a baby, no questions asked. and he was 100% behind me and me to have some time with my

newborn and come back to my job. and i'll always be grateful to him for his support. but it required . penny mordaunt was the required. penny mordaunt was the bill minister taking the bill through parliament and what was in the bill? it referred to me as a pregnant person. that was gender neutral language. that's the civil service preferred terminology to use in those circumstances. so they said and that was quite i it i actually was personally quite offended by it i thought i'm a pregnant and i think that should be honoured in the legislation and she was responsible for that as well . responsible for that as well. there was a lot of opposition to that wording by conservative backbenchers , lords, cross—party backbenchers, lords, cross—party actually. i and the record shows very clearly. i mean it's indisputable . penny's position indisputable. penny's position was and that was that she opposed changing the language for various reasons. so she

wanted pregnant person to in the bill that is what the record shows and if you look at the hansard of late february , early hansard of late february, early march 2021. you will see clearly what penny mordaunt position was . i know the difference between a man and a woman can't believe we've had these debates during this contest. there's been 40 much in every sense of the word discussed, quite frankly , i discussed, quite frankly, i understand this because as you alluded to , train against men. alluded to, train against men. i underst and the biological differences which is why when i held the equalities brief i raised the about sport years ago and why i completely have always said that we need to look at the science in this we need to listen to the sporting and they need to have the confidence to make the right decisions . but make the right decisions. but and this is why everyone gets

their knickers in a twist because there are some people who were born, for example, men who were born, for example, men who legally are recognised as women. and when we're right in law that really a very important factor trans women , biological factor trans women, biological women like me. but deserve respect , they deserve kindness respect, they deserve kindness and i will always take that and my . my. politics hello, i'm aidan mcgivern from the met office. the rest of year looks interesting as far as temperature contrasts are concerned. cold in the far north, mild elsewhere. the common theme is that we'll see rain in many places. that rain courtesy of an area of low pressure moving away for

northern scotland but bringing back some wet weather from the south, pushing into southern parts of the uk as we go into friday evening. the rain on and off at first more persistent and heavier later. meanwhile for scotland northern ireland it's showers rather than rain. and for the far north, colder air in place. so it's a snow is more likely over the hills with some icy patches that lower levels minus six celsius possible across some sheltered parts of central scotland especially over any snow cover . but elsewhere any snow cover. but elsewhere it's very mild in the south, albeit with some wet weather on its way for that wet weather pushing . and again some heavy pushing. and again some heavy persistent rain at times especially for south wales and southern parts of england could be some issues on the road because of that rain and the winds driving that wet weather in. so an unsettled day. all in all, 13 or 14 celsius, the afternoon high, brighter skies for much of scotland, especially north of the central belt, where it stays clear into new year's

eve evening. but scenario of rain moves up into southern scotland. northern ireland northern england for the celebrations and that turns to snow during the early hours of this day across central scotland . further south, that dries up for new year's eve evening and there'll be some showers following by the early hours, but also a strength in wind gales right in the southwestern shores for the first day of 2023. further showers to come. at times, the more persistent rain and snow affecting central scotland . but that peters out scotland. but that peters out later after . another covering of later after. another covering of the grampians , the highlands, the grampians, the highlands, a dner the grampians, the highlands, a drier day for many of us on monday. further spells of wind and rain on tuesday into wednesday . this and rain on tuesday into wednesday. this year on gb news. we've got brand new members in the family join us across the entire united kingdom. we cover the issues that matter to you . the issues that matter to you. gb news will always stay balanced and fair we want to hear whatever is your mind and
