the government . we feel cheated the government. we feel cheated and we feel sorry for the people coming to stay on the barge. but we also feel very sorry for the local residents and it just has been well, it's just been a mess from top to start, from top to top to finish. you know. >> so when you talk about infrastructure not being there, the resources not being there to cope, what would you like to see in place ? in place? >> well, we'd like ideally , we'd >> well, we'd like ideally, we'd like to see the whole barge towed away and the port to say, gosh, we did make a mistake. towed away and the port to say, gosh, we did make a mistake . we gosh, we did make a mistake. we realise we don't have the resources. one problem after another keeps coming now another keeps coming up. we now have problem of the and have the problem of the fire and the fact the arrogance of the fact that the arrogance of the fact that the arrogance of the has come yet the government has come out yet again. haven't taken the again. they haven't taken the advice of the local fire services and the fire brigade union. they've just said, oh, don't worry, it'll fine. now don't worry, it'll be fine. now we've this haven't we've heard this before, haven't we, many things in our we, in so many things in our country, be and we country, it'll be fine and we know it will not. we're worried now, about the guests. now, not just about the guests. i'm calling people, guests on the the barge, but

the boat, on the barge, but about our services, our about our fire services, our ambulance services . if you look ambulance services. if you look at the structure of that barge, i'm not expert and you i'm not an expert and you wouldn't need to be to look, it's very, very long. and if you happen be on that back wing, happen to be on that back wing, i idea you would get i have no idea how you would get out a fire and when people out in a fire and when people say, oh, but it's been used before workers, it's not before by workers, it's not relevant because these people are not workers. they're not a disciplined. they're not a disciplined, coherent bunch because the languages are all going to be different. how are we going to get all of those people off and how are we also going to get the ambulances and the fire services onto our island? the thing that keeps getting forgotten is we are one road on, one very narrow road on and off. if you look at the map and off. if you look at the map and you look at a beautiful photo in our pictures of portland this morning, a tiny road, really with bridge road, really with a bridge linking us to the mainland . and linking us to the mainland. and so if we have one accident, the whole place is fouled up. ambulance aren't getting through, engines aren't through, fire engines aren't getting through . and that's for getting through. and that's for the well as anyone

the locals as well as anyone coming that port. susan the coming into that port. susan the irony of this campaign is that the anti—racist, the the so—called anti—racist, the refugees welcome crowd, also don't want the barge in portland, do they? >> they say, quite correctly, that it will overwhelm the local national health service, 500 military aged men being dumped on a community of 12,000. and yet here we are once again. it's nimbyism . it's no illegals in my nimbyism. it's no illegals in my back yard for them, but they want to dump it on your community. do you feel like you're just being completely abandoned by central government, by all the politicians in the uk . yes, i mean, we're talking about the people power and reclaiming our voices, but we were never given a voice in the first place. >> it's devious, underhand deaungs >> it's devious, underhand dealings between the home office and portland port owners, the reeves and langham's families have treated us like the serfs of mediaeval days. we keep saying that we met the owner of the ceo of the port just recently who refused to even

speak or acknowledge a group of six residents just having coffee in the local coffee shop to say, can you help us? will you have a little meeting? what can we do? and literally did that. and he literally just did that. goodbye by now, that says it all. so how can anyone care for the residents on the on the island or the barge with that kind of attitude? plus i think what really annoys all the groups a lot of money is being made right through from the from the start. i made a chart the other day. i'm sorry, it's not presentable, but it looks at all the companies involved right down from sunak and braverman, the home office , the port, the the home office, the port, the families are involved. then we go down. they're going to pay for private for health the people on the barge. we can't see a doctor sometimes up eight weeks here. and then we have the foreign companies involved. we have the australians, the americans all being given services. and so when we have absolute waffle coming out of our port owners saying , oh, it's our port owners saying, oh, it's going to help the resources of the local area, no, it's going

to deplete. and when we have the local health officers saying it won't impinge on your services , won't impinge on your services, we say, but it will because we don't have any services that money could have been put into helping our services first. it's like me inviting you to dinner and forgetting to get the food in and forget to tell you how to get here. it's as simple as that. no planning, no common sense. has happened to our sense. what has happened to our government agency is no common sense . sense. >> and in terms of the area in which you live, susan, i mean , which you live, susan, i mean, portland, it's a beauty spot , portland, it's a beauty spot, isn't it? it's where many cruise liners pull in from around the world. i know there's been local conversation, fear perhaps, that that will impact on businesses and the hotels and the local economy . economy. >> absolutely, because we're very close to bournemouth, just along the coast here. and the people from there have already found their tourist industry being impinged upon . and the being impinged upon. and the police are not. they're being discouraged . i'm going to say

discouraged. i'm going to say that from reporting any crimes locally. so as it doesn't look as if it might be someone that from outside and all of that kind of stuff, there's a lack of honesty. so it will impinge. and we need to know we have security . and we don't feel we have . we and we don't feel we have enough. us with enough. they've given us with these massive amounts of money to pcsos and some extra security cameras for a summer holiday, input of all of these people. it's just not sufficient. it's really quite frightening . really quite frightening. >> and susan, one of the narratives put out by those who were against it on the refugees, welcome side is that this would be some sort of floating prison. it's not that at all. can you make it clear to gb news viewers that actually the 500 men on board will be free to come ashore and go back as they see fit ? fit? >> well, they will up until a point, but that group do have a point, but that group do have a point because they will have to be escorted off the port of portland . so they will be behind

portland. so they will be behind locked gates when they're in there because because the port has such a high security level, actually, the port are getting rather silly . i think they think rather silly. i think they think they're operating a top security military base because they've sent out letters. they have sent out letters to all their workers recently saying, please don't take photos or they haven't said please. they've said do not take photos, do not discuss what you're seeing here or there will be other you will be dealt with in a suitable manner. now this is getting a little bit big brotherish , if not the old brotherish, if not the old fashioned. russia isn't it? it's really worrying people . why is really worrying people. why is all this secrecy going on? why do they think and how are they going to govern the cruise liners when the cruise liners come in? first people do is take a photo of the port they arrive in. are they to going put in. so are they to going put these letters on all the cruise liners? just don't liners? it's just i don't understand why it's so farcically inadequate and poor planning. >> okay. dr. susan phoenix of the just say no to the barge campaign in portland . thank you campaign in portland. thank you for joining us this morning on

forjoining us this morning on gb news breakfast. thank you. thank you . thank you. >> i'm really good to actually hear from someone who is there, who is in the local community and can explain the concerns across the board. >> it's an extraordinary state of affairs when you speak to residents like that who, don't forget, been lambasted as forget, have been lambasted as being even , being racist and fascist, even, and they're just very, very concerned. justify viably so about impact on a very small about the impact on a very small community of 12,500 men being dumped on them . and isn't it dumped on them. and isn't it ironic, ali, how nobody wants them there? the people who both sides. yeah, on both sides of the so here we have a the debate. so here we have a solution to problem that solution to a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place. big questions need to be asked to central government on thisi mean, as say, both >> i mean, as you say, both sides in that debate that sides in that debate say that the isn't for purpose. the barge isn't fit for purpose. what the answer? do let us what is the answer? do let us know. in touch. if you know. do get in touch. if you think you have gb views at think you have it. gb views at gb news. made.com. we love to gb news. made.com. we do love to hear you. we now. fines hear from you. we do now. fines are triple for employees are set to triple for employees and landlords who knowingly support illegal immigrants. that's under new rules announced

by the home office. >> yeah , we're the biggest shake >> yeah, we're the biggest shake up of civil penalties since 2014. the government hopes to target significant pull factors and overhaul britain's reputation for being soft. >> well, we're joined now in the studio by the conservative councillor for epping and thaden in essex, holly whitbread . in essex, holly whitbread. really good to see you, holly. it always is. so give us a sense of things on the ground here. so this is trying to tackle landlords who rent out their properties and allow for legal migrants to work in this country. is this something that you're seeing happening on the ground ? ground? >> i mean, first of all, this is really good news. i mean, it's good to see illegal immigration and those who have facilitated illegal immigration being tackled . so i welcome that. this tackled. so i welcome that. this is something you do here and hear about . and actually, when hear about. and actually, when we hear those concerns and the issues we're having, particularly we just heard the lady there and i really sympathise with her position .

sympathise with her position. it's important that actually when these people are coming into our country, they go through a proper process and we don't have people taking advantage even advantage and putting even further pressure on our infrastructure . infrastructure. >> yeah, in terms of the detail of this scheme. so penalties are being tripled . so the maximum being tripled. so the maximum fine is now £45,000 for an illegal worker up from 15 grand, £60,000 for repeat breaches for landlords. it could be £1,000 for the first breach. up to five grand for repeated breaches. so on the face of it, this this is getting tough grace here's a question for you. the biggest landlord of asylum seekers in britain is the government serco . what are they going to do? find themselves ? find themselves? >> well, first of all, the idea of this is to put people out of business when they're doing this. so for the smaller individual deals, whether that be small landlords different be small landlords or different businesses there are businesses and there are numerous different businesses who take advantage who sometimes do take advantage of workers to and be of these workers to and be clear, someone's an illegal clear, when someone's an illegal immigrant seeking asylum, they shouldn't work shouldn't be able to work anyway. that's part of the

process. but in terms of the government and how they're deaung government and how they're dealing with illegal immigration , and while i have , actually, and while i have huge concern for the who huge concern for the lady who just spoke and the issues on the ground, there now moving away from model trying from that hotel model and trying to as quickly as to process people as quickly as possible. and we have seen and although problem is reoccur although the problem is reoccur and we've seen a decrease particularly in people coming over from albania and the processing they've got, they're getting on of that backlog, getting on top of that backlog, which is good news. obviously, there's still a huge way to go. but fact that we're seeing but the fact that we're seeing that away the hotel, that move away from the hotel, which actually a cost which was actually a higher cost to taxpayer, and i've seen to the taxpayer, and i've seen that my local area, i think that in my local area, i think that in my local area, i think thatis that in my local area, i think that is a positive, positive movement . movement. >> i think many people will listen to and think, well, listen to this and think, well, this great. it's going act this is great. it's going to act as deterrent. it's going as a deterrent. it's going to stop wanting to come and stop people wanting to come and work here and live here illegally. of course, the illegally. but of course, the next is how this next question is how can this actually enforced? do have next question is how can this actlpolice enforced? do have next question is how can this actlpolice infrastructure» have next question is how can this actlpolice infrastructure to have the police infrastructure to actually enforce this? i mean, we can't even stop shopping , we can't even stop shopping, eating. we had an executive of

the co—op on the programme the other day who was saying there's 1000 incidents stores 1000 incidents in his stores every single day the police every single day and the police can't come out to can't even come out to shoplifting . shoplifting. >> i agree. i mean, i see locally the pressures that the police have, but i think where the government have been clear is this is a priority. rishi, every time you see on the tv, listen, these five priorities are stopping boats and are stopping the boats and stopping immigration is stopping illegal immigration is absolute his priority. absolute. his priority. and actually , this is all part of actually, this is all part of making the uk an environment which people don't think they can take advantage of. so they don't they'll just be able don't think they'll just be able to and work illegally to come here and work illegally or into a hotel. so this is or move into a hotel. so this is all part of that process. so while policing resources are finite always challenged, i finite and always challenged, i believe the government make believe the government will make this priority to actually stop believe the government will make thispeopleity to actually stop believe the government will make thispeople who» actually stop believe the government will make thispeople who are :ually stop believe the government will make thispeople who are exploiting , the people who are exploiting, eating, those are trying to eating, those who are trying to come this country. come into this country. >> a fantastic point, ali. >> it's a fantastic point, ali. and later on, we've got and in fact, later on, we've got sarah the show. sarah dines, mp on the show. that's great point to that's a great point to put to her. you must have some idea of a beefed up immigration task force enforce this. it's okay force to enforce this. it's okay having fines in place, but how

will they be implemented? but holly, moving front of holly, moving on front page of today's papers completely today's papers are completely dominated by illegal immigration and the ascension and talk of the ascension islands being used instead of rwanda on the front of the daily mail. yeah saturday suella braverman% finally attacking keir starmer for him, blocking the deportation of murderers and rapists. very strong rhetoric . rapists. very strong rhetoric. do you see immigration now as being an absolutely central point for the next year all the way through to the general election? this is going to be a major, major battleground, absolutely . absolutely. >> i it's certainly one of >> i think it's certainly one of the issues with economy the key issues with the economy beside it. immigration is a huge issue. illegal immigration is a huge issue because actually at the moment we've got exploit people exploiting our system. and what we've seen , i and actually what we've seen, i think suella was absolutely right to attack keir starmer and i think there was a labour councillor who had literally been immigrants been helping illegal immigrants to get the country and to get into the country and exploit the system. so i think suella was completely right to highlight but when talk highlight that. but when i talk to whether it be in to people out, whether it be in the pub or campaigning,

immigration and illegal immigration, the pressure it's having our infrastructure having on our infrastructure constantly up . constantly comes up. >> holly whitbread conservative councillor for epping and faden in essex really to see you in essex, really good to see you on program. we've you in on the program. we've got you in the hour as well, haven't we? >> yeah, great. so thank you very much. >> now let's bring you up to date with the rest of today's top stories. people who've top stories. and people who've been convict of been wrongfully convict of crimes longer their crimes will no longer have their living from their living costs docked from their compensation that's compensation payments. that's according to new guidance issued by justice secretary alex chalk and follows. the controversy sparked by the jailing of andrew malkinson , who spent 17 years malkinson, who spent 17 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit . not commit. >> and thousands of supporters of niger's coup leaders flocked to a stadium in the capital city yesterday despite threats of military intervention from neighbouring countries. the military leadership has said it will not cave in to external pressure to stand down. worrying france and other eu countries who rely on it for critical uranium supplies as a new uk

manoeuvres over the weekend, haven't brought haven't you? it's been brought in late before the start in quite late before the start of season, time of the season, whereby time wasting on and wasting is clamped down on and in most other games last season there been an 11 there wouldn't have been an 11 minute added time. so minute of added time. and so that's scored and that's when arsenal scored and they to penalties won by they took it to penalties won by four to now pep four goals to one. now pep guardiola saying, look, at guardiola is saying, look, at this we're be this rate we're going to be playing until 8:00 in the morning. he's not happy about it at but having said that, it at all. but having said that, it was good staging for was a good staging post for arsenal. i'm sure about this arsenal. i'm not sure about this chat arteta saying chat afterwards by arteta saying it's gone. it's a mental block gone. they've lost their last eight matches against manchester city and beaten them in and they haven't beaten them in the league since 2015. the premier league since 2015. so a hurdle so there's a huge hurdle if you're beat manchester you're going to beat manchester city this season city in the league this season or season. team or any season. they're the team you overcome. so they've you have to overcome. so they've got in this game. got past them in this game. yeah, but you need to talk advisedly around the community yeah, but you need to talk advisecit'siround the community yeah, but you need to talk advisecit's not1d the community yeah, but you need to talk advisecit's not necessarily nunity shield. it's not necessarily a marker how season's going marker to how the season's going to two squads may look to go. these two squads may look a different, this time a bit different, even this time next when they get some next week when they get some more signings in the door. i think city certainly needs some more players. city lost more players. city have lost this in the this game three times in the last years and they've last three years and they've still to the premier still gone on to win the premier

league three times. that's league title three times. that's not of how not necessarily a mark of how the season although it's a the season goes, although it's a bit to say there's two bit lazy to say that there's two things take away. >> it's a bit of a kind of exhibition match, isn't it? the old was always a old charity shield was always a bit of a stroll about. >> roy always said if >> roy keane always said if players the end their players at the end of their career are counting the charity shield shield, shield or the community shield, as in medal as we call it in a medal collection, that's a bit embarrassing. but two points. >> first of all, i think these longer going to become >> first of all, i think these long much going to become >> first of all, i think these long much a going to become >> first of all, i think these long much a part going to become >> first of all, i think these long much a part gcthe to become >> first of all, i think these long much a part gcthe premierne very much a part of the premier league season from the league next season from the world cup, this time wasting. we're think, a we're going to see, i think, a lot over 100 minutes. lot of games over 100 minutes. so going so fergie time is going to become all the time. i think that's going have a big that's going to have a big impact season. that's the impact on the season. that's the first point. >> trying >> secondly, trying to say something that when qpr at watford saw watford on saturday and we saw we were down, saw nine we were 4—0 down, we saw nine minutes added time, minutes held up as added time, we we were we didn't want that. we were happy yeah, just get happy to just go, yeah, just get your first. >> w— >> cronenberg and secondly, though, even though city lost cole, palmer and he cole, palmer came on and he scored goal, he's a scored a wonderful goal, he's a huge, for huge, exciting talent for england without doubt. >> so been doubt. » so >> so he's been eased into the side year or so, side over the last year or so, year or so. i would say he's been a part in the been playing a key part in the competitions. which city take quite serious early. there's

interest in taking him permanently from other clubs. they city they want to sign him, but city are let him go. are not keen to let him go. they're the of they're open to the idea of letting loan. letting him go on loan. leicester brighton were letting him go on loan. leicesquite brighton were letting him go on loan. leicesquite up3righton were letting him go on loan. leicesquite up for hton were letting him go on loan. leicesquite up for that. were quite quite up for that. >> i think price have >> i think his price would have gone yesterday. gone up after yesterday. >> that's superb goal. gone up after yesterday. >> obviously; superb goal. gone up after yesterday. >> obviously starredrb goal. gone up after yesterday. >> obviously starredrb under he's obviously starred in under 21 scored in the final 21 as well, scored in the final for england against spain and he scored minutes for england against spain and he sc> i mean, but look, they all count. it's funny because it >> i mean, it's funny because it probably on target >> i mean, it's funny because it probit)ly on target >> i mean, it's funny because it probit got on target >> i mean, it's funny because it probit got diverted. on target >> i mean, it's funny because it probit got diverted. diverted|et and it got diverted. diverted in. leandro trossard in. but leandro leandro trossard is big role for is going to play a big role for arsenal season. last season arsenal this season. last season i was i felt for arsenal. it was a squad let down in the squad that let them down in the run got couple run in they got a couple of injuries not not saliba, injuries not not least saliba, the back rob holding the centre back and rob holding was downgrade to was too much of a downgrade to fill that hole. and i think it's the numbers need the numbers they need in the squad, you're to squad, the quality if you're to going over 36 going win the league over 36 games. they're in the games. also they're in the champions league season. champions league this season. don't forget arsenal. they're going contend going to have that to contend with. have with. they're going to have their and will their work cut out and they will need . and why you need numbers. and that's why you saw squad yesterday saw a bit of the squad yesterday and well for them. and that bodes well for them. >> should about

>> should we talk about the shocker is women's shocker which is the women's world are out. >> yeah, it's for news >> yeah, it's good for news england. i mean, brazil are already of last already out at the end of last week, canada always dangerous. and usa go out and then we saw the usa go out on against sweden . on penalties against sweden. half the team before the match didn't national anthem didn't sing the national anthem due it was a protest against due to it was a protest against racism and historic things , racism and historic things, particularly the captain, megan rapinoe didn't want to do it. so i kind of think it doesn't set the tone for the right kind of , the tone for the right kind of, you know, how can you describe it? it doesn't set the tone if you're going to it doesn't put you're going to it doesn't put you a good frame of you in a good, good frame of mind going win mind when you're going to win the game. >> ambassadorial, it on >> no ambassadorial, is it on the international? >> rapinoe >> not not for rapinoe who particularly who's the captain. and most and she was easily the most famous that squad. famous player in that squad. nonetheless a nonetheless they laboured to a draw are not draw against sweden, who are not a bad but they lost out on a bad side, but they lost out on penalties. think penalties. now, i don't think england really be england needs to really be looking other teams. they're looking at other teams. they're good look good enough to just look at their own situation, good enough to just look at their own own situation, good enough to just look at their own players,n situation, good enough to just look at their own players, their ation, good enough to just look at their own players, their own i, their own players, their own form. the that european form. the fact that the european champions are arriving in australia with that crown already their head . and already on their head. and but having that, it does help having said that, it does help when some of the big guys get get knocked out. and i think

england play nigeria today. their coach , sarina wiegman, has their coach, sarina wiegman, has been guarding against complacency. i think they'll comfortably get past nigeria today. comfortably get past nigeria today . nigeria, i wouldn't say today. nigeria, i wouldn't say stumbled through the group. they're quite a rugged side stumbled through the group. they' thatite a rugged side stumbled through the group. they' that didn'thged side stumbled through the group. they' that didn't losej side stumbled through the group. they' that didn't lose inide stumbled through the group. they' that didn't lose in the there that didn't lose in the group stage. they got two draws and a win to get through, but expecting to line the expecting them to line up in the quarterfinal from there in australia , who knows? i think australia, who knows? i think england become european england could become european and champions, which would england could become european an> no, it's going to be later today world cup squad. >> it's later today. >> it's later today. >> today. exactly so it's >> later today. exactly so it's a no matter a 33 man squad no matter who's named martin. i'm worried for england showed no england because they showed no form six earlier form in the six nations earlier in year . the form in the six nations earlier in year. the coach didn't in the year. the coach didn't look as was the kind of look as if he was the kind of guy who was going to go in there and a level of and inspire a new level of performance eddie performance with the eddie jones era, flatly,

era, having ended quite flatly, even very even though it started very well, they got to a world cup final. course, had no final. of course, wales had no form nations. they form in the six nations. they won all, they lost all five games. and wales looked games. and then wales looked fairly comfortable against england. england can't seem to score we're now , what, score tries and we're now, what, a away from the start of a month away from the start of the world can't see the world cup? i can't see beyond france and ireland given this is a northern hemisphere world cup. i think france will be favourites given that they're in their home territory . be favourites given that they're in their home territory. i think there are concerns for england over been there are concerns for england over we're been there are concerns for england over we're starting been there are concerns for england over we're starting to been there are concerns for england over we're starting to be> seems that once again, >> and it seems that once again, if you're international if you're on international glory, relying lionesses. >> yeah, exactly. so go

lionesses. yeah, very consistent, you have say. and consistent, you have to say. and listen they didn't they weren't listen, they didn't they weren't impressive in first impressive in the first two matches and matches against haiti and against denmark, but really against denmark, but they really hit they, hit their straps, didn't they, against little bit against china when a little bit of was they of pressure was on. they get through next round of pressure was on. they get through nigeria next round of pressure was on. they get through nigeria today. und of pressure was on. they get through nigeria today. that's against nigeria today. that's a huge opportunity for them. i expect if they past expect them, if they get past this match and into the this match today and into the quarterfinals, i make them favourites, the favourites, especially with the usa . usa goal. >> usa goal. » m usa goal. >> go. you heard it >> there you go. you heard it there magee. there first. aidan magee. >> predictions quite >> my predictions are quite good, you know. sweet. thanks mate, good, you know. sweet. thanks ma'you've been caught few >> you've been caught out a few times program . times on this program. >> knows? he's a qpr >> who knows? he's a qpr supporter. he not? supporter. was he not? >> well, there's that as well. thanks coming up, thanks hayden. now, coming up, can government its can the government keep its promise to house 500 migrants on a barge in dorset? we'll be discussing that with the safeguarding minister sarah dines. stay with us. dines. so do stay with us. you're watching gb news, britain's news .

begins. 74% demand action on danger dogs. well i think quite rightly too. >> i mean , this terrifying story >> i mean, this terrifying story in the mirror about my jack lost his life, but the culprits jail term was an insult. and of course, this is he was this poor boy, jack liz was ten years old, was mauled to death by this dog. and i just don't understand how this can happen. i mean, is it because they're inbred some of the dogs? >> i think it's how they're raised . i mean, i suppose you raised. i mean, i suppose you would have a dog that would be naturally if naturally more aggressive if it's raised in a certain way. it's just children, you it's just like children, you know? often these know? and i think often these dogs are like a status symbol all, you know, to be like street tough. yes. and of course, the dog, it's not the fault. dog, it's not the dog's fault. it's owner's fault. like dog, it's not the dog's fault. it's with wner's fault. like dog, it's not the dog's fault. it's with children,ult. like dog, it's not the dog's fault. it's with children, you like dog, it's not the dog's fault. it's with children, you know, like with children, you know, you're . you you're not inherently evil. you just that way. and just you're raised that way. and i where the problem i think that's where the problem lies. to punish these lies. you need to punish these people gone out to people who have gone out to raise aggressive dog as a raise an aggressive dog as a status symbol like carrying a gun . it's that gun or something. yes. it's that sort behaviour . yeah. sort of like behaviour. yeah. >> and they feel good, i suppose i >> walking tough yeah. god

>> walking tough guy. yeah. god >> walking tough guy. yeah. god >> and they do look terrifying , >> and they do look terrifying, some of those. >> did story on dog napping >> we did a story on dog napping recently . it turns out these recently. it turns out these tough dogs are actually really targeted by dognappers. which strikes you as counterintuitive. you think they'd be taking obe? they steal them, they steal the big apparently they steal them, they steal the big incredibly apparently they steal them, they steal the big incredibly friendly, tly they steal them, they steal the big incredibly friendly, you they're incredibly friendly, you know, even to strangers , as if know, even to strangers, as if their approach in a respectful manner. so there's a huge conversation around is it the dogs, it owners ? is and dogs, is it the owners? is and i feel like we've seen a rise in these dog attacks. >> so i'd have to say yes, i agree. it feels like we're seeing headlines regularly about about children. yeah. >> i mean , i got two dogs in in >> i mean, i got two dogs in in the pandemic. i think a lot of us did to be perfectly honest. and actually, what, one of them disappeared night? i think and actually, what, one of them disihusband's night? i think and actually, what, one of them disihusband's nilookingiink and actually, what, one of them disihusband's nilooking for my husband's still looking for him now. i he does him right now. i mean, he does it time, so don't worry it all the time, so don't worry . around lancashire . he's running around lancashire just mayhem. but that's just causing mayhem. but that's another story. think a lot another story. but i think a lot there's just an increase in generally people having dogs and of a they're so of course it's a they're so expensive as well .

expensive as well. >> what about the vet? i know our dog broke his hip. >> it was like two grand going, what are we doing? i know. you know , do you think a bit of it know, do you think a bit of it is some people who got dogs dunng is some people who got dogs during pandemic just hadn't during the pandemic just hadn't done research? done their research? >> realise what they >> i didn't realise what they needed in terms of needed to do in terms of discipline training. needed to do in terms of dis> will certainly have >> well, you will certainly have a view that story. this one, a view on that story. this one, as martin said, always gets you going. such a thing going. is there such a thing as a is it just a bad a bad dog or is it just a bad owner let know. owner? do let us know. vaiews@gbnews.com okay, davina, let's go to the eye, shall we? in the front page and we're talking about another pandemic. oh i know, i know. >> and i wonder how many

billionaires this one's going to >> and i wonder how many billionand this one's going to >> and i wonder how many billionand thisfacte's going to >> and i wonder how many billionand thisfact thatying to >> and i wonder how many billionand thisfact that they've make. and the fact that they've andifs make. and the fact that they've and it's in some secret lab , and it's in some secret lab, which they've actually said is in salisbury in wiltshire. so it's i think they're just ramping it up again to just get us. i don't know what the end goal for this is. they've called it disease x to make it really scary and it's going to take 100 days to get from from the disease x being found to getting jabs in our arms. so again , it's jabs in our arms. so again, it's going to be this isn't tested. this is more hype. and, you know, i don't know what the end game for this is any ideas so what have they've they've what they have they've they've got new kind of labora tree got this new kind of labora tree with 200 people in it. >> i guess they were they were criticised a lot the government for not being prepared for a pandemic. so this is part of preparedness, you could argue, but begins. is it part of but also begins. is it part of nudging us towards this perpetual state of fear so we're easy to control? well, i, i suppose you could say i personally hope it isn't, because i think that's really rather terrifying. >> thought .

rather terrifying. >> thought. but, you rather terrifying. >> thought . but, you know, it >> thought. but, you know, it could be that. i mean it's like, for instance, we've got to get our head around the fact that they're here to stay. it's not necessarily, you know, why why all of a sudden do we have more risk of pandemics? >> so they've got this new thing called government's new called the government's new national risk register warned that there's up to 1 in 4 chance of new pandemics in the next five years. i thought the last one was the spanish flu. you know, that was over 100 years ago. i don't quite understand ago. so i don't quite understand why sudden we're at why all of a sudden we're at more risk and all of a sudden it's billion pound it's going like billion pound pharmaceutical companies are going to leverage off this and become even richer and more powerful. suppose that's powerful. but i suppose that's the world we're living in, isn't it? why? i ihy? why? mm it? why? we've got antibiotics >> i mean, we've got antibiotics , we've got hospitals, we've got everything they didn't have everything that they didn't have 100 i just don't 100 years ago. i just don't understand a sudden understand why all of a sudden we've crazy diseases, we've got these crazy diseases, but be getting to used to but we may be getting to used to all these things that they're giving, mean, it's giving, you know, i mean, it's probably running off us. >> know, we can't we can't >> you know, we can't we can't

live without all these drugs. >> so i'd say natural immunity is what we need to go back to because you're never going to outrun mother nature, ever. you know, we're not that wise . we're know, we're not that wise. we're not that clever. >> but it's interesting that people now doing tests people now are doing covid tests again , and don't think we again, and i don't think we should. don't think should. yes, i don't think they should. yes, i don't think they should because, know, should be, because, you know, they really are. and i think that, know , we have to that, you know, we have to accept is like the accept that covid is like the new flu. yeah. you know, that is something we're to have to something we're going to have to liveyeah. something we're going to have to live every i something we're going to have to liveevery i saw something we're going to have to live every i saw one of my >> every time i saw one of my friend covid test, friend sends a covid test, i always think pregnant. always think they're pregnant. i'm god . i'm like, oh my god. >> yeah, but perhaps this story is more about preparedness. i mean , the government got caught mean, the government got caught out with covid, really, and out with with covid, really, and making quickly . i making decisions very quickly. i mean, short of ppe, mean, they were short of ppe, weren't they, in the hospitals? there masks at there were shortage of masks at the very beginning. vaccines took while to we took a while to i mean, we surely have them. took a while to i mean, we sur> yeah. so they're taking the potential risk. viruses like

avian flu and so on and so forth. and they're preparing vaccines that may work against them . so it's quite high tech them. so it's quite high tech thing. so on the one hand, yeah, be prepared, be ready , be on be prepared, be ready, be on your toes. on the other hand, is it just keeping us all oh my god, we're going to have to face lockdown again. and don't lockdown again. and i don't think go that route. think we want to go that route. >> absolutely not. absolutely not. detrimental not. that was so detrimental to my got four my children. i've got four boys. one done his one of them has just done his gcses know have gcses and i know he'll have missed out on loads. i mean, i can't teach him. i've got no patience. a teacher. i patience. i'm not a teacher. i know that it's definitely impact them. okay. them. so okay. >> begins now. do >> okay. davina begins now. do stay with us. we're just going to cross over to our minister and then we'll back with you. and then we'll be back with you. because employees and landlords could up to £60,000 for could be fined up to £60,000 for allowing legal immigrants to work or rent. that's according to plans announced by the home secretary >> yeah, the move comes as the government hopes to move asylum seekers hotel rooms onto seekers from hotel rooms onto the bibby stockholm barge in portland, dorset . portland, dorset. >> well, let's hear more now from the minister for

safeguarding, sarah dines. from the minister for safeguarding, sarah dines . good safeguarding, sarah dines. good morning to you, miss dines. really good to see you this morning . so we'll get on to morning. so we'll get on to those fines in a moment for supporting of illegal migrants. but let's start with the bibby stockholm barge , shall we? stockholm barge, shall we? because it's been delay after delay after delay getting these 50 migrants onto this barge . can 50 migrants onto this barge. can you confirm that that will happen today or at least within the next few days ? the next few days? >> well, we're expecting to move . good morning, everybody. in the next few days . it's very the next few days. it's very exciting to start getting people out of the hotels onto other places like the bibby stockholm. it's a very good idea and we're hoping for it to be quite shortly. sarah we had susan phoenix on the show earlier this morning . morning. >> she organised the campaign against the barge and also the refugee . welcome the anti—racist refugee. welcome the anti—racist support and don't want the barge ehhen support and don't want the barge either. all of them say 500 men will simply overwhelm the nhs in the area. it's only a town of

12,000 men will be roaming around the streets. nobody wants this in portland. why are you pressing ? i'm sorry. pressing ahead? i'm sorry. >> there's some difficulty with the sound here. i can't hear you. okay let's start. >> can you hear us now? we'll come back to our papers guests for a moment, then we'll just try and re—establish the sound there with our minister, sarah jones, and then we'll come back to her once we've done that begins, let's change tack completely. >> shall we start at the front page and william shatner ? why not? >> it's a stupid story. >> it's a stupid story. >> this absolutely ridiculous. i mean, star trek's william shatner reckons aliens haven't visited us. i mean, what is he talking about? we know . so talking about? we know. so there's a couple of aliens in there's a couple of aliens in the studio. i mean, they're they're here and, you know, they some from the . north know it's some from the. north know it's as if he's saying he's wrong. we know he's wrong. rather, the star says today, i mean, i don't know . do you think we have had know. do you think we have had auens know. do you think we have had aliens here before ? i mean, i'm

aliens here before? i mean, i'm not quite convinced it we have i've read a book years ago by a guy called erich von daniken, andifs guy called erich von daniken, and it's all about the ancient pyramids and how they weren't actually built by man because they've got some like, crazy sort of symmetry. >> and the tonnage of it. i mean, it's absolutely preposterous that we could have like , you know, wheeled it on like, you know, wheeled it on like, you know, wheeled it on like, you know , stones being like, you know, stones being moved thousands and thousands of miles. perfect symmetrical. i mean, i can't even articulate it. so that got me thinking that we had ancient aliens many hundreds of thousands of years ago . but to be honest, if i was ago. but to be honest, if i was an i'd just turn right an alien, i'd just turn right and find another planet. and just go find another planet. they are not quite right. so do you think the aliens built stonehenge then? >> do you think that was? >> do you think that was? >> i don't think that is mathematically precise as the pyramids of giza and, you know, there's something to do with the sun and the alignment and the size the base is exactly the size of the base is exactly the symmetry of the planet earth. the mathematics were very clever in when those in those days when those builders weren't there, like to the like you, the point of like you, you'd

need absolutely need a compass. absolutely absolute pure maths. yeah pure maths. so much better than stonehenge , which is a little stonehenge, which is a little bit more rustic. well, think bit more rustic. well, i think that's isn't that's the british, isn't it? a british ship. it all looks nice i >> -- >> the pyramids are simply a feat of incredible human ingentu. feat of incredible human ingenuity . yeah. so incredible ingenuity. yeah. so incredible that we look to some. some outside force . i just think it outside force. i just think it was like, well done, team pyramid. they were just, like, really good at building stuff back in those days. and they were pioneers on mathematics and the alignment of the planets and the alignment of the planets and the as as a plumb line. >> we forgot that maths and then relearned it. i guess they were great. >> bert was great. » ben great. >> bert was an alloy found >> bert there was an alloy found in in a meteorite the other week. yeah. which scientists looked at and they said it couldn't have come from earth because has alloys and because it simply has alloys and stuff. that's not earth bound. so the, the conversation does constantly go on about is there anybody out there? i think there has be. has to be. >> was that >> well, there was that congressional hearing, wasn't there? last week there? i think it was last week in united states. was on in the united states. it was on ufos. basically high ufos. and it was basically high up armed forces

up military armed forces personnel saying that they had either seen it or they knew that the government knew more than what they were letting on. so that really interesting to that was really interesting to see in a i'm in two minds see it in in a i'm in two minds about because i'm kind of about it because i'm kind of like of as are guessing. >> and then all of sudden >> and then all of a sudden it would implode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet implode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet , implode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet , wouldn't implode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet , wouldn't it,nplode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet , wouldn't it, if lode >> and then all of a sudden it w0lplanet , wouldn't it, if wee the planet, wouldn't it, if we suddenly thought there was a more intelligent we'd all more intelligent being, we'd all of a sudden i don't of a sudden become, i don't know, prey . i of a sudden become, i don't know, prey. i mean, of a sudden become, i don't know, prey . i mean, we know, the prey. i mean, we wouldn't the alpha dominant species. >> it makes you wonder if they if down, look if they come down, look at britain we're to britain and go, no, we're to going clear off. >> definitely too there. >> definitely too rainy there. >> definitely too rainy there. >> a few aliens and >> well, i know a few aliens and they interesting. they are very interesting. i have to say. yeah, they're go, 90, 9° have to say. yeah, they're go, go, go on. >> pray , tell more. >> pray, tell more. >> pray, tell more. >> no, no, i couldn't. they are furious with me , ophelia. furious with me, ophelia. >> let's look at the front page of the daily telegraph, shall we? and is on the cashless we? and this is on the cashless society. yeah, we're heading towards. yeah >> it's. so natwest has granted itself sweeping new powers to limit cash deposits and withdrawals, fuelling warnings that banks are forcing customers towards a cashless society. and

of their men to all women. all women , one of their reporters, women, one of their reporters, one of their one of their thems to the algarve. and apparently the germans are just as bad. one of the dads who was german declaring that the germans are winning the war of the sunbeds. >> so who is winning the war of the sunbeds ? we heard the sunbeds? well, we heard from john bit earlier on who john a little bit earlier on who said that he went for lunch for 20 returned to find 20 minutes and returned to find , in his words, a big german woman laying his towel on his woman laying on his towel on his sunbeds. and he tipped her off. and we were wondering i thought he meant physically her he meant physically tipped her off said off the sunbed. you said i thought her off as it thought tipped her off as it gave a few quid to get lost, gave her a few quid to get lost, gave her a few quid to get lost, gave her a bit cash. john has just in confirm just emailed in to confirm that. yes, did her yes, he actually did tip her onto the floor. yes, he actually did tip her ont so. e floor. yes, he actually did tip her ont so. so.oor. yes, he actually did tip her ont so. so. so john got the frail >> so. so. so john got the frail line woof and put on line is went woof and put on poolside the drink poolside or into the drink i mean that is taking it to the next level john you are what this article is all about. >> are part of this warfare. >> you are part of this warfare. how that go down? i can how did that go down? i can imagine it was entertaining to say the least. i hope she's all

to say is it possible to book two weeks on the barge at the end of august? i could do with seeing a dentist and an appointment the doctor. no appointment with the doctor. no chance getting round chance of me getting them round our way . our way. >> t'- w— our way. >> david, you know that >> i mean, david, you know that that but also that is a funny point, but also a point . yeah. a lot of a serious point. yeah. a lot of people portland spoke to people in portland we spoke to susan phoenix from the barge campaign earlier and saying they can't appointment can't get a doctor's appointment , dental , they can't get a dental appointment. are appointment. and here they are with care. with full ensuite medical care. it's one that will roll and roll. >> yeah, it will. so do keep your views coming in on sunbeds on of on the migrant issue, on any of the that we're we're the stories that we're we're talking about today, us talking about today, do let us know what you think on those gb views com and views at gb news. com and precisely that story . precisely on that story. >> the first group of migrants are expected to be housed on the bibby stockholm barge the bibby stockholm barge in the coming despite opposition coming days despite opposition from yes, the from local groups. yes, the barge set to accommodate 500 male asylum seekers arrived at portland harbour last month after being tugged from falmouth. >> and let's speak now to hollie whitbread, a conservative councillor from essex. >> top of morning again . >> top of the morning again. hollie heard from the

hollie so we heard from the residents association earlier. they feel they're just not being listened to. the local area of only 12,000 people being completely overwhelmed by 500 military age men. the anti racism campaign don't want it. how did we get to this situation and do you think the government will press ahead with it despite quite widespread local resistance ? resistance? >> yeah, i absolutely get >> yeah, well, i absolutely get the the people the concerns of the local people and actually wethersfield is a similar example essex , where similar example in essex, where an military base is being an old military base is being used. so completely understand used. so i completely understand the the impact the local concerns, the impact on infrastructure here, whether it gp places or school it be gp places or school places. and i've actually seen that in my own community through hotels mean, government hotels. i mean, the government have this model because have moved to this model because ultimately taxpayer ultimately it costs the taxpayer less. seen hotels less. already we've seen hotels up and down country being up and down the country being used at great expense. so this is model that while people is a model that while people are being through through being processed through through the system , um, will cost the asylum system, um, will cost the asylum system, um, will cost the taxpayer less . but that the taxpayer less. but that doesn't dampen the concerns which local people have, which i completely sympathise with. ultimately what the government needs to focus on is reducing

illegal immigration, tackling it first hand and stopping the boats actually the boats and actually the government are doing that. they've laws they've recently put laws through and through parliament to try and tackle illegal immigration , but tackle illegal immigration, but obviously they've got so many obstacles in their ways, particularly with kind of human rights lawyers who are really kind of pushing this and exploiting the situation . exploiting the situation. >> so, holly, paint a picture for us. how much of a strain is illegal migration actually putting on local councils and local communities as well ? local communities as well? >> so it does have a big impact. so particularly in terms of kind of school places, but also gp places and general health care. so it is a it's a huge pressure when actually already it's a long time to get a doctor's appointment off often and it's unfair on, on local people . but unfair on, on local people. but ultimately all that can be done is that we can get through that backlog. and to be fair to the government, are government, they they are getting through backlog, getting through that backlog, particularly up particularly that was built up since the pandemic. but most importantly, to reduce importantly, starting to reduce the number of people coming over and there's been quite

and i think there's been quite a big particularly in big reduction, particularly in albanian illegal immigrants who have coming over have been coming over immigration front and centre immigration now front and centre feels like we're gearing up for a general election campaign. >> yesterday , de suella >> yesterday, de suella braverman accusing keir storm of having a band of cronies . the having a band of cronies. the lawyers you mentioned stopping deporting . she's also personally deporting. she's also personally attacking for blocking the attacking him for blocking the deportation and deportation of rapist and murderers. today, front page of the daily mail, the ascension islands , british territory being islands, british territory being teed as kind of rwanda pot . teed up as kind of rwanda pot. to. what do you make of that plan? >> i think well, first of all, immigration is obviously going to huge issue. the economy to be a huge issue. the economy and and the and illegal immigration and the pressures that's having on infrastructure is really at the key people are talking key at what people are talking about moment. so i think about at the moment. so i think the do the government are right to do all to can stop illegal all they to can stop illegal immigration and actually stop these lawyers who are taking advantage system. and we advantage of the system. and we have labour , there's a have seen labour, there's a labour council the other day were seeing on tiktok doing a video help get video trying to help people get into the country illegally. so i think suella is absolutely right. and the government are

right. and the government are right to look at different, different solutions to tackling this and actually but ultimately stopping the boats, which is the main goal . main goal. >> let's talk about what our minister was about to speak about from the government a little bit earlier on. actually which was the tripling of fines for are found be for those who are found to be supporting illegal migrants. that's through work or through somewhere to live. what do you make of those plans? do you think a think that will act as a deterrent ? deterrent? >> i think it's the right thing to i mean, the idea behind to do. i mean, the idea behind the is that actually if the plans is that actually if people are using illegal immigrants in their businesses or as landlords, then they're almost made kind of bankrupt. their business is brought to an end with these really high fines. and that is absolutely the right thing to do as you've highlightedenforcement . and so around the enforcement. and so the have made the government have made it clear that this is one of the key priorities actually key priorities and actually it's to people to come to de—incentivize people to come into the country in the first place if don't think place if they don't think they'll find they'll be able to find employment find home and employment or find a home and it's going to be challenging to

come over. >> yeah, there are two pronged attack on this. >> so it's the £45,000 pound first fine for any employer found guilty of employing an illegal immigrant in terms of landlords , it's a £1,000 fine. landlords, it's a £1,000 fine. first time going up to ten grand. but here's the point, holly. the biggest landlord board of asylum seekers is the government, serco , 30,000 in government, serco, 30,000 in residences, let alone £7 million a day on hotels. could we find ourselves in a situation where the government is finding itself , well, probably slightly different situation where the government are kind of processing these illegal immigration cases and actually in some of the cases, sending people back if they're they're not found to be needing asylum . not found to be needing asylum. >> um, so probably a slightly different situation . but different situation. but ultimately i think this is to take take action against those probably smaller individuals and businesses who are using this illegal immigration actually, which is often on the outskirts

as well. so people have kind of supped as well. so people have kind of slipped through the asylum system and are really working illegally system and are really working ille okay. holly whitbread, really >> okay. holly whitbread, really good to see you this morning. >> okay. holly whitbread, really good tyoue you this morning. >> okay. holly whitbread, really good tyoue you thi�*fororning. >> okay. holly whitbread, really good tyoue you thi�*for your g. >> okay. holly whitbread, really good tyoue you thi�*for your time i >> certainly a topic that's going to run and run and run. >> absolutely. frank says. >> yeah, absolutely. frank says. it really amazes me how selfish the public in the south are complaining facilities, complaining about facilities, etcetera . in the north, the etcetera. in the north, the migrant crisis started decades ago. it's totally ignored ago. it's been totally ignored now. now it's come home to roost as north ground. as the north dumping ground. there's no room left. >> it's an excellent point because that was the central driving ethos of the brexit referendum. those people that fell in places like boston , fell in places like boston, places like skegness, places up north that had seen a huge influx of people from outside taking jobs , putting huge taking jobs, putting huge pressure on public services . pressure on public services. yeah, they weren't listened to. i hear that they i absolutely hear that they weren't brexit weren't listened to and brexit was shout back i >> -- >> yeah. and ian makes the point that it's not just happening here. italy a full on their borders also germany , france and borders also germany, france and numerous other countries is having big issues with illegal

migration. it's a great point and politically i think it's going to become a central driving force of all of the elections right across the continent. yeah, absolutely . continent. yeah, absolutely. julie, views julie, do keep those views coming in. vaiews@gbnews.com okay. >> to our next story now. a pub landlord has accused animal rights group peta of wokery after they demanded he change the name of his boozer. yes. >> newton , the owner the >> mike newton, the owner of the old bulldog , revealed that he'd old bulldog, revealed that he'd received from the received a letter from the animal welfare charity urging him change the name of his him to change the name of his pub mutt because the pub to the old mutt because the current name apparently encourages people to buy sickness prone breeds. well, our midlands reporter will hollis has more a proper british boozer with a proper british name. >> the old bulldog, a name that's now been splashed across the national news and all because of this bulldog , because of this bulldog, atticus, mike and his wife laurie rescued him . laurie rescued him. >> if you look closely into his mouth . come on, sweetie, you can mouth. come on, sweetie, you can see that his teeth have been ground down with an angle

gnnden ground down with an angle grinder, which is usually a sign that he was a bait dog in the dogfighting. >> when bought the sea >> when mike bought the sea lion, a humble corner pub in stoke trent, he fancied a new stoke on trent, he fancied a new name and thought atticus was breed was perfect . but not breed was perfect. but not everyone agrees. animal rights group peta reckons it glorifies brachycephalic breeds of dog like bulldogs and pugs that develop breathing difficulties and other health issues. because of their squashed snouts and skull shape. they sent mike a letter telling him to scrap the name this letter on my phone and essentially it says that what we want to do is to get rid of the name the old bulldog, replace it with the old mutt. >> well, i was really quite cross about it because i felt that it was is intrusive. it was patronising, and it was also an attack on a cherished national symbol, the bulldog, which we love in this country. it was an attack on small business. >> peta, which stands for people for the ethical treatment of animals, says that promotes

breeds with breathing impairment . ice normalises their suffering and encourages others to get them . them. >> the name of a pub is not going to influence anyone in in what dog they choose to buy. and that was pretty much their reasoning . reasoning. >> they say they'd even pay to help rename the pub to the old mutt , which they help rename the pub to the old mutt, which they think will go down better with locals . down better with locals. >> why should animal rights get involved in it? it's >> why should animal rights get involved in it ? it's got nothing involved in it? it's got nothing to do with them. what a name of a pub is people getting off the dog if they want the dog as he loved the breed of the dog. >> it was called the sea lion before so encourage before. so did that encourage people keep sea lions ? i no. people keep sea lions? i no. >> mike, who's a conservative parliamentary candidate, says the name is staying. well, it's obviously a woke agenda globally on many fronts, isn't there? >> but you know, here in the midlands, then they've met the match because we're not changing the name of the pub . you know, the name of the pub. you know,

we our bulldogs and we're we love our bulldogs and we're not backing down on this . not backing down on this. >> the stoke pub was renamed once , doing it twice. well, that once, doing it twice. well, that would be barking mad. nice dog. >> nice pub will hollis gb news in stoke on trent what a fantastic package. >> the old sea lion. the old bulldog. gotta love it. okay we're joined now in the studio by margarita sachkov, a spokesperson for peta. margarita, what's wrong with the beautiful british bulldog ? beautiful british bulldog? >> well, you know, thank you so much for having me here today. and the bottom line of this story is really that bulldogs are being to suffer and are being bred to suffer and they can barely you know, they're being born with the highly deformed faces . and highly deformed faces. and because of their really exaggerated features as such as really flat faces really shorten airways, they are struggling to breathe, let alone you know, chase a ball in a park, have a run, and, you know, these dogs are as far from, you know , how are as far from, you know, how normal dog would look like . and normal dog would look like. and did you know that 90% of

bulldogs are being born through c—section and it's just because, you know, we bred them to have their heads so enormous so their mothers can't even give birth to them normally. so we really should stop breathing these dogs. we really should stop promoting these dogs. we really should stop glamorise these dogs. >> so, i mean, putting aside the obvious issues that you have with the breed aside side, why go after a great british pub? i mean, you heard from mike's wife there, mike being the landlord and saying the name of the pub doesn't actually change anybody's opinion on what kind of dog they want to buy. it's just the name of a pub. >> well, you know, we all know that we as a society, we are affected by pop culture and affected by the pop culture and we, know, we follow people we, you know, we follow people on social media. we are affected by we on tv. and we can by what we see on tv. and we can be even influenced by what we see in our local pub and given that pub has recently that this pub has recently rebranded from the lion to rebranded from the sea lion to the old bulldog, we just thought they might be open to change their again if it would

their name again if it would help animals and we are help some animals and we are suggesting to call it the old mod because mods are some of the healthiest dogs and they're usually way healthier. they have longer lifespans than their purebred cousins. >> no doubt there'll be many people out there sort of throwing their toast at their telly over this because they love their bulldogs . we know. gb love their bulldogs. we know. gb views gb news viewers love their dogs.is views gb news viewers love their dogs . is this views gb news viewers love their dogs. is this the most views gb news viewers love their dogs . is this the most effective dogs. is this the most effective way of getting your point across 7 way of getting your point across ? i mean, trying to cancel a pub name . you've gone for two things name. you've gone for two things here. the great british pub and the great british bulldog of course, people are going to resist. or are people to resist. or are people going to listen to your message if all you try and do is cancel all dogs and cancel pubs ? dogs and cancel pubs? >> well, not we are not >> well, we are not we are not here to cancel and pizza here to cancel anyone. and pizza is not the only organisation speaking about it . the royal speaking about it. the royal veterinary society , for example, veterinary society, for example, is encouraging people to think twice before they buy any flat faced dogs, before they get any

flat faced dogs as they're more to prone severe health issues and they have shorter lifespans. and i wanted to emphasise and i just wanted to emphasise how difficult it is for them to breathe, some that say that breathe, as some that say that for them breathing is like for us to breathe through , you know, us to breathe through, you know, through a straw. imagine spending your entire life breathing through a straw . how breathing through a straw. how would you feel? would you be able to exercise ? would you be able to exercise? would you be able to exercise? would you be able to exercise? would you be able to chase the ball? and there are so many you know, there are so many you know, there are so many you know, there are so many adoptable and brilliant mutts in the in the shelters that people can go . so shelters that people can go. so i would really encourage anyone never to buy to adopt, i would really encourage anyone never to buy to adopt , not never to buy dogs to adopt, not to shop. >> but don't you think you're painting of a doomsday painting a bit of a doomsday scenario? i've got friends who've and they're who've got bulldogs and they're perfectly mean, perfectly happy dogs. i mean, are you putting a worst case scenario across here to try and frighten everybody or try and force legislation ? but there are force legislation? but there are many, many healthy, wonderful bulldogs who don't experience what you're talking about. >> i mean , again, there >> well, i mean, again, there are many veterinarians up and are so many veterinarians up and down the country. they have to perform surgeries on flat faced

dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm about . dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm about. it's also dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm it about. it's also dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm it also bout. it's also dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm it also other it's also dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm it also other dogs|lso dogs and it's not just bulldogs. i'm it also other dogs with pugs. it also other dogs with with face deformities . so many with face deformities. so many of them struggle . and, you know of them struggle. and, you know , so many of them struggle to breathe. so many of them are prone to infection, to eye infections and dogs really don't care about their looks. you know, it's us humans to breed them who breed them to live this way, who breed them, to live their lives suffering . so we their lives suffering. so we really should reconsider and our ethical standards should be high enough to stop breeding dogs deliberately to make them suffer i >> -- >> mike newton, the landlord in this story, says that in the email from peter, you actually offered him money to help to rename the pub. don't you think? in terms of peta as finances that could be better spent on actually saving animals or a campaign to actually save animals lives rather than just the name of a pub? >> well, you know , we don't want >> well, you know, we don't want the small business to of the small business to be out of pocket. that's we pocket. so that's why we suggested covering this cost. pocket. so that's why we suggwe ed covering this cost. pocket. so that's why we suggwe really ering this cost. pocket. so that's why we suggwe really hope this cost. pocket. so that's why we suggwe really hope that cost. pocket. so that's why we suggwe really hope that changing

and we really hope that changing the name would encourage people to reconsider buying a flat face talks. and also , if we are talks. and also, if we are speaking about the money here, one thing we really should look at industry . as at is the breeding industry. as this industry is just like all about money and the kennel club and crufts, they're really encouraging people to go after particular breeds to go after particular breeds to go after particular looks with no regards whatsoever to dog's health. so i think that's the issue we should be looking at really closely. >> okay, margaret sachkov, really to see you this really good to see you this morning. thank you very for morning. thank you very much for your time. you will have an opinion that at home. should opinion on that at home. should the be renamed to the old bulldog be renamed to the old bulldog be renamed to the old bulldog be renamed to the old mutt? do let us know. vaiews@gbnews.com. >> and more to the point, if you're a bulldog owner now, let us know your experiences with what is a fantastic, what i think is a fantastic, wonderful, affectionate , wonderful, affectionate, friendly, family friendly breed. or have they passed their sell by date? let us know. okay now let's bring you up to date with the rest of today's top stories and people who've been wrongly convicted crimes will no convicted of crimes will no longer have their living costs

the current knife crime capital of the uk, so that's not london either . cleveland actually is either. cleveland actually is the violent town in the uk, the most violent town in the uk, so why are we demonise using london all time? it's got so london all the time? it's got so much more than anywhere else in the it's not even the most the uk. it's not even the most violent city in europe. by the way, paris a run on that way, paris gives a run on that and there's common theme to and there's a common theme to all violence in those cities. >> that's a separate debate for another time. >> i you'd that. >> i knew you'd say that. i madeleine, come on. >> we just heard a passionate defence of london, but well, i just bring it back to the pounds and pence. >> i mean, when i first moved to london, i think it's got demonstrably worse in a very short of and short amount of time. and i think a lot think that the mayor has a lot to with that. but to do with that. but particularly housing crisis. particularly the housing crisis. when i first moved to london, particularly the housing crisis. wheearning moved to london, particularly the housing crisis. wheearning lessed to london, particularly the housing crisis. wheearning less than london, particularly the housing crisis. wheearning less than 201don, particularly the housing crisis. wheearning less than 20 grand a was earning less than 20 grand a yeah was earning less than 20 grand a year. okay because my year. but it was okay because my rent 500, £600 a month, year. but it was okay because my rent was 500, £600 a month, year. but it was okay because my rent was obviously500 a month, year. but it was okay because my rent was obviously aio a month, year. but it was okay because my rent was obviously a lot month, year. but it was okay because my rent was obviously a lot of onth, which was obviously a lot of money. but it was fine if you took on a bit of extra work, you could survive and i just could survive and now i just genuinely how someone genuinely don't know how someone on possibly on that income would possibly survive they survive in london, where they would be paying just for a room 800, £900 a month or else they're living so far out that

they're living so far out that they're then spending a fortune in commuting costs every day. you i just i think that you know, i just i think that the playing field has really changed in the last few years, and particularly for renters who are vulnerable at are very vulnerable at the moment . moment. >> w- e just in london >> and it's not just in london that see that we did a report that we see that we did a report about are people going that we see that we did a report abcevery are people going that we see that we did a report abcevery property people going that we see that we did a report abcevery property in eople going that we see that we did a report abcevery property in the .e going for every property in the north—west. a lot of this has been driven by by huge immigration. been driven by by huge immigration . and of course, immigration. and of course, we have people chasing have many more people chasing fewer and fewer properties. but it in it is particularly true in london, example , you're london, for example, you're okay. born and bred okay. you're a born and bred londoner. bought you londoner. you bought and you will sell and you'll be comfortable with that. but how on earth are young people meant to on the property ladder? to get on the property ladder? how younger how on earth are younger people meant property meant to get on the property ladder where the ladder in london, where the price of one bedroom flat now price of a one bedroom flat now is never price of a one bedroom flat now is to never price of a one bedroom flat now is to save never price of a one bedroom flat now is to save becauseer price of a one bedroom flat now is to save because you're afford to save up because you're spending all of your on spending all of your money on rent. madeleine can rent. as madeleine says. how can any person ever afford to any young person ever afford to buy in london unless they've got the and dad? the the bank of mum and dad? the gorblimey guv'nor? >> the of mum >> i never had the bank of mum and dad for a start. i'm from east but when was east london, but when i was buying property london. east london, but when i was buyingit property london. east london, but when i was buyingit wasroperty london. east london, but when i was buyingit was okay. y london. east london, but when i was buyingit was okay. it london. east london, but when i was buyingit was okay. it was ndon. east london, but when i was buyingit was okay. it was .don. east london, but when i was buyingit was okay. it was . you yeah, it was okay. it was. you could get 100% mortgages. the

government as you said in that introduction there, the barge arrived in the middle of july. we're now well into august, and we're only expecting the very first migrants to be arriving this week. at first we're expecting to see about 50. and as said , the barge will as you said, the barge will eventually accommodate about 500. course, this isn't 500. but of course, this isn't the end of the struggle for the government at the moment. there are 50,000 migrants being held in hotels around the country at great expense to the taxpayer. it's costing about £6 million a day and there is a backlog of 172,000 migrants. now, even when the bibby stockholm is at full capacity , we are only expecting capacity, we are only expecting it to house 500 migrants. i mean, that's well under half a percentage of that backlog. so the government has a long way to go . and of course, next time go. and of course, next time they try and open a barge, they will expect a huge amount of opposition . the residents in opposition. the residents in portland are furious about this. of course, the migrants will be housed on this barge. are all all young single men , they're all young single men, they're not families, etcetera. and

there are safety concerns. people are worried about their children being out around young single men who are who are being left on this barge . meanwhile, left on this barge. meanwhile, of course, the government is facing, as you said, pressure from the other side, if you like , from those who say that it is inhumane to house migrants on on a barge like this . so i think we a barge like this. so i think we can expect a lot more pressure for the government as they try and enact this policy. the glimmer of light for the government, though, is that, of course, the public is actually very behind this move. the pubucis very behind this move. the public is keen for any move that clamps down on illegal immigration. and in fact, labour is now saying that they have seen the focus groups, they've seen the focus groups, they've seen the focus groups, they've seen the polling and labour isn't actually attacking the government from a left wing angle. that angle. labour isn't saying that it's inhumane to house migrants on fact , labour it's inhumane to house migrants on fact, labour is on barges. in fact, labour is now they would house now saying they would house migrants on barges at least at the beginning of their tenure in office. so the hope for the government is that with public support behind they will

support behind them, they will manage out this policy manage to roll out this policy on scale . but with on a wider scale. but with massive local opposition , it's massive local opposition, it's going to be very, very difficult i >>i >> i mean, as >> i mean, as you >> i mean, as you say, olivia, this big election issue . this is a big election issue. the public are behind tackling illegal migration. how do you think then the public will react to the home secretary suella braverman, announcing today that fines are to be tripled for employer and landlords who allow illegal migrants to work for them and live in their properties ? properties? >> well, in terms of a policy, the policy impact, it feels like very low hanging fruit for the government. the home secretary has said today that she wants to make it not only morally repugnant for landlords to house illegal migrants , but also illegal migrants, but also financially ruinous. now that sort of language will play very , very well with the public who we know are on board with, for example, the rwanda policy and other policy is intended to crack down on this problem . so crack down on this problem. so it will play well . the question, it will play well. the question, of course, is whether the home

secretary actually has the resources to enact this policy. we know there are already we know that there are already migrants being housed around the country by landlord boards illegally, and at the moment they seem to be getting away with it, possibly through a lack of adequate policing. it's of adequate policing. so it's an easy in terms rhetoric . easy win in terms of rhetoric. but whether home secretary but whether the home secretary actually has power behind actually has the power behind her able to carry it out her to be able to carry it out is another question. >> okay. olivia utley our political correspondent, really good you this morning. good to see you this morning. thank much for bringing good to see you this morning. th.up much for bringing good to see you this morning. th.up to much for bringing good to see you this morning. th.up to date. much for bringing us up to date. >> now, ministers have warned that a electric cars from china import into the uk to reach net zero targets could be used to spy brits. spy on brits. >> yes , some in government fear >> yes, some in government fear they could be used to take photographs and even recordings for the benefit of the chinese communist party. >> let's speak now to former tory leader sir iain duncan smith. thanks for joining tory leader sir iain duncan smith. thanks forjoining us, sir. sir duncan smith this is a concerning story , isn't it? concerning story, isn't it? because it's foreign technology coming in, spying on ways, taking photographs , listening to

taking photographs, listening to audio. how concerned and should britons be about this ? britons be about this? >> well, very concerned. but as there's a wider issue here, which is part of this, which is that china itself is now breaking the wto rules, uses slave labour, produces these cars subsidise massively by the banks. it's going to swamp the uk with these cheap electric cars, both putting our own industry out of business, but at the same time, then alongside this, they produce all the batteries that are used in china, all done, by the way, through using huge amounts of fossil fuels , burning really fossil fuels, burning really nasty coal without any restrictions . and so it's a restrictions. and so it's a tokenistic concept for us to think that in by 2030 we should all be electric when in fact that electric car basis is produced using massive amounts of fossil fuels. so we need to delay the 2030 target to give our own industry time to come up to the mark on this and we need to the mark on this and we need

to be very careful about what we do with china. china uses slave labour and will put these devices into batteries, does already and into cars as well. and that means that they will end up being able to track what we do. the other about a year ago, the downing street had to understand strip out some of their cars looking for these devices found them tracking. devices and found them tracking. can you believe it? the prime minister and co. so the reality is for us that this is a this is a threat to us and we shouldn't go down this road quietly allowing to dominate this allowing china to dominate this for you've been concerned about >> you've been concerned about this issue for a long time , this issue for a long time, haven't you? you called the government its obsession with electric cars dangerous in 2021. what is worrying you about this technology? is it in part the speed at which this is all developing and how difficult it will be to regulate it . will be to regulate it. >> well, lots and lots of things of concern. i mean , the fact is of concern. i mean, the fact is that most of our tax payers are receiving a kind of punishment

beating en route into this because the taxes , the green because the taxes, the green levies have risen dramatically . levies have risen dramatically. what i'm concerned about is in the desperate search to meet a target, we end up basing stripping our own industry of their capability and making sure that people are left with the with the chinese cars to buy. that's it. and the reality is that's where they're going. they're now at the moment all their battery companies and we use chinese batteries endlessly . they're setting up as car companies and they're under the control of the state. they all have to be regulated by the state in china and they're massively subsidised . so it's massively subsidised. so it's not even a fair market. the point i'm trying to make is, look, the west needs to recognise that china poses a significant threat to the free world. we need to be able to join together and say to them, no, we're not going to be dominated by you in this area. we're going to give ourselves the time to be able to make sure that we can do this using proper, viable labour, paid proper, viable labour, paid

proper wages doing the job proper wages and doing the job that required not just that is required and not just rushing this in the hope that rushing to this in the hope that somehow we'll gain brownie somehow we'll gain some brownie points people points from some people who think ought to kill off think that we ought to kill off any diesel or petrol cars. the fact is that we can continue to use these. europe has gone to 2035, america has gone to 2035. i see no reason why we should rush to 2030 to become a kind of offshoot of china. >> well, sir ian , you're making >> well, sir ian, you're making some great common sense points there , which i know will land there, which i know will land very well with gb news viewers. they feel very much under the cosh, having to sell their cars. they don't want electric cars in the main because they're so expensive. what about things like gas boilers, though ? like gas boilers, though? they're being clamped down on? we're being charged £12, 50 a day to drive our cars. surely the conservative party, if they got on a real front foot on the net zero issue and proved to voters they could save pounds and pence in their pockets and purses , that would help you win purses, that would help you win the next general election. when can we see some common sense on

this to help save british taxpayers . money taxpayers. money >> well, i think the government is coming round to this issue because oxbridge taught them a very significant lesson . and by very significant lesson. and by the way, it shocked the labour party too, and the liberals. the reality is that ulez in london is being imposed on outer london when outer london doesn't have any need for it because the air quality is high. i'll give you an example. the transport for london independently said london report independently said to the mayor that imposing ulez on outer london will make negligible , if any difference in negligible, if any difference in air quality at all. so he's doing it because he needs to raise money. that's what that's all about. hiding behind net zero. we shouldn't be doing this. so when the public was given a chance to vote on this in they said, no, in uxbridge, they said, no, we're to have this we're not going to have this done our name. we're not done in our name. we're not going punished just for going to be punished just for this that the mayor is this idea that the mayor is being utterly useless in being so utterly useless in running he to running london that he has to now off us now drag more money off us pensioners. cetera. unable to pensioners. et cetera. unable to get their cars in the future, having to pay to just get inside

their doesn't make any their car. this doesn't make any sense all. so need to have sense at all. so we need to have a discussion about this. a proper discussion about this. the is, including the the reality is, including the gas boilers , very, very gas boilers, it's very, very difficult . and not that it's not difficult. and not that it's not that efficient or relatively cheap to start this whole idea of air air boilers as it were, that actually produce enough heat to be able to allow your house to be heated properly using electricity. this doesn't really work as everybody said it did. now i'm in favour of cleaning up environment cleaning up the environment in favour that we do favour of making sure that we do what can in terms of net what we can in terms of net zero. but what i'm not in favour of is punishing people en route to that. and for that matter, destroying our domestic destroying our own domestic industry. of these industry. every bit of these things is mostly built in china. and by the way , the solar arrays and by the way, the solar arrays that populate our fields. at the moment, most of these poly silicates that are critical to the working of those are mined from xinjiang in china, where they use slave labour. how much do you have to say to those self—righteous people that wander around preaching to us about just stop oil? et cetera .

about just stop oil? et cetera. what do care about people what do you care about people whose lives are miserable in whose lives are miserable out in china because they being china because they are being dnven china because they are being driven beaten into these driven and beaten into these areas by people who want to get rid of them using slave labour? ihave rid of them using slave labour? i have to say to people, think again, you and care a again, will you and care a little bit those other little bit about those other people are being destroyed people that are being destroyed so that you can feel self righteous own beliefs. >> f- beliefs. >> really, really >> so yeah, really, really interesting point. i'm looking ahead the near future. how ahead to the near future. how would you feel, sir ian, about investing developing thing investing and developing thing investing and developing thing in own electric car industry in our own electric car industry so we can buy british when it comes to our electric cars and stay well clear of china for the reasons that you've been listing this morning? or do you have a genuine fear about the technology and how easy it is to be bugged ? be bugged? >> well, just separate those two issues. the first is, yes, i'm absolutely in favour of our industry being able to produce lower mission if zero emission cars , cars. hydrogen is another cars, cars. hydrogen is another area that we had a global lead on and the government needs to

focus as much on that as they do on electric, because in truth, that would allow our industry to be pre—eminent. that would allow our industry to be pre—eminent . and i think be pre—eminent. and i think that's important. we're not alone, by the way. the whole of europe and the united states is facing the same challenges us and they've taken the practical result moving back result of actually moving back the start date for the end of new sales of petrol and diesel. we're the only ones sitting on 2030 now. they've moved back to 2035 and i'm asking simply for to us do the same as them so that we can actually end up getting this properly organised and done. it cannot be and properly done. it cannot be net zero at any cost . what we net zero at any cost. what we have be if we're going have to be if we're going towards has to be done towards net zero has to be done in a that we can sustain it in a way that we can sustain it here in free world, in the here in the free world, in the uk not allow even greater uk and not allow even greater dominance china. those little uk and not allow even greater dominunits china. those little uk and not allow even greater dominunits you'rela. those little uk and not allow even greater domin units you're talkinge little micro units you're talking about, they exist there in most if not all of the batteries that china produces and also the cars . and that gives them great knowledge, great power, and we need to make sure that doesn't happen. >> so aidan magee smith, thank you for joining >> so aidan magee smith, thank you forjoining us >> so aidan magee smith, thank you for joining us today on gb

news breakfast. fantastic stuff. >> really a wide reaching >> yeah, really a wide reaching conversation there actually, about the green agenda and if it's the right way to go and if we go for it in 2030 with the banning of petrol and diesel cars.i banning of petrol and diesel cars. i mean. sir iain duncan smith saying why are we putting the on eu has the the pressure on the eu has the date 2035, let's give date of 2035, let's give ourselves that time. >> he spoke a lot of >> i think he spoke a lot of common sense. i know will resonate well with viewers out there. but think there's there. but and i think there's a big yeah net zero to me big but yeah net zero to me feels like a new brexit for the conservative party . it's divided conservative party. it's divided the party into it lands badly in those shire seats and where they're more environmentally switched on, more at risk of losing to the liberal democrat, yes, but it lands very well in the red wall. and again, it just it's down to concept versus it's down to the concept versus the cost. we all want to save the cost. we all want to save the planet. all want cleaner the planet. we all want cleaner air. when out it's ten air. when we find out it's ten grand boiler, when we find grand for a boiler, when we find out scrap our car. out we've got to scrap our car. when we find out it's £12.5 out we've got to scrap our car. when we find out it's £125 to drive every day, people start to question it. and just wish question it. and i just wish we'd some clarity. so we'd have some clarity. so voters a choice. it's

voters had a choice. ellie it's so depends, though. >> guest on the other >> we had a guest on the other day got solar panels on day who has got solar panels on his and he was saying he his roof and he was saying he doesn't pay anything. but for hot water. so he said, yeah, it's that upfront cost. but now hot water. so he said, yeah, it's th everybody cost. but now hot water. so he said, yeah, it's theverybody else but now hot water. so he said, yeah, it's theverybody else is it now when everybody else is struggling with with energy and obviously war in obviously with the war in ukraine, seen energy ukraine, we've all seen energy bills he hasn't that bills go up. he hasn't had that problem. guess so. it's problem. yeah, i guess so. it's so depends on on where you're at with that. >> the choice. it was his >> he had the choice. it was his choice to put that in. >> made that investment, >> he made that investment, which is great. >> but you're told like >> but if you're told like in scotland, the saying you scotland, the snp is saying you have to have a heat pump or you can't sell your house £10,000 minimum, that feels like too much and enough much stick and not enough carrots. yeah, do us carrots. yeah, well, do let us know you thought that know what you thought of that interview sir iain interview there with sir iain duncan gbviews@gbnews.com duncan smith, gbviews@gbnews.com but you to but first, let's bring you up to date the of today's date with the rest of today's top stories and people who have been convicted of been wrongfully convicted of crimes will no longer have their living docked their living costs docked from their compensation that's compensation payments. that's according guidance issued according to new guidance issued by secretary alex chalk by justice secretary alex chalk and follows. the controversy sparked by the jailing of andrew malkinson , who spent 17 years malkinson, who spent 17 years behind bars for a crime he did

ireland, where we'll see temperatures dropping quite widely rural areas into the widely in rural areas into the single figures. now throughout the rest of tuesday, this rain and cloud will erratically make its way eastwards. this will mostly be quite light rain and drizzle, though there could be the odd, heavier burst in there, but bringing quite a dull and gloomy day for much of england and wales. northern ireland, scotland and the far north of england remaining dry and sunny, so pleasant here. breezy so feeling pleasant here. breezy along english channel coast, but still seeing highs of 20 to that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> you're watching gb news britain's news channel. after the break, we'll be debating whether people should be sacked for what they post on their social media for. don't go anywhere .

welcome back. >> the time is 825. still lots to come on today's programme and the shadow international trade secretary, nick thomas—symonds will be joining us to discuss what labour are going to do about the migrant crisis if they get hold of the keys to number 10, one council in sutton is under fire after introducing higher parking charges for people who use cash to pay. is

that fair or are you outraged ? that fair or are you outraged? we'll be discussing that a little bit later . little bit later. >> yeah. don't kill cash, obviously. is the gb news campaign and that strikes at the heart of that issue. you can join in any of our discussions by emailing gbviews@gbnews.com. or of course, you can tweet us at . gb news. or of course, you can tweet us at. gb news. now >> elon musk has announced that x, formerly known as twitter , x, formerly known as twitter, will pay the legal bills for anyone treated unfairly by their employer for their activity on twitter and in today's debate, we are asking should people be sanctioned or even sacked for what they post on social media? >> dr. brian harris welcomes the move. meanwhile, hannah o'donohue hobbs says no people should be held accountable . they should be held accountable. they both join us now. so shall we start with you, dr. harris? give us your take on this .

us your take on this. >> well, this looks to me like a potential game changer. i think it's part of musk's plan to make twitter deal x, the ultimate free speech platform . he's free speech platform. he's saying not only will you have free speech in using it, that's what he's promising. but also he'll pay the bills if you get sanctioned for exercising that free speech. now it seems like an extravagant measure and obviously we need to see whether he makes good on it. but i think it's definitely needed. so the free speech union sees an enormous number of cases of employees being punished for something they've said on social media and usually x and this can include, you know, pretty old stuff , you know, comments from stuff, you know, comments from from a long time ago, sometimes comments that have been dredged up , you know, deliberately in up, you know, deliberately in a sort of , you know, targeted

sort of, you know, targeted attempt to harm someone's reputation. so i think this will be a real corrective this will be a real corrective this will be a real corrective this will be a wake up call, i think, to hr departments who are massively over estimating what is your boss, your employer's business is a huge amount of what goes on on twitter has got nothing to do with your job. it's got nothing to do with the employment relationship and it won't feasibly harm your employer's business. and i think that needs to be the test out. and that's what they're getting wrong at the moment. >> okay, hannah, let's bring you in at that point. what do you make of what dr. brynn make then of what dr. brynn harris was that a large harris was saying, that a large proportion what you see on proportion of what you see on twitter has actually got nothing to do with your employer? i think that unfortunately, when anyone with anyone, anyone when i work with anyone, when of brands, businesses when lots of brands, businesses employ do search employ people, they do search the person online, whether it's google or twitter, any kind of social platform . social platform. >> um, if you then are

>> um, so if you then are pointing out that maybe don't augn pointing out that maybe don't align their their align with their values or their brand beliefs or can affect their reputation, then it is affect working with them. feel. >> yeah, but don't you find though, hannah, that what happens is often times is that people who don't like you, it could be for nefarious reasons. it could just be because they want to get rid of and they want to get rid of you and they want to get rid of you and they want job. they can go want your job. they can go trawling through your social media offence, media history. the offence, archaeology. hear so much archaeology. we hear so much about and that's not fair. people are entitled to have a point of view on things which you may not agree with and that surely should not cost them their jobs . their jobs. >> yeah, i just think if you put it out there then that's the risk that you're going to take. if you have maybe controversial opinions or something that isn't going work, you're not going to work, well, you're not going to work, well, you're not going a good time going to have a good time working that person if they working with that person if they then your then don't agree with your values. it's values. i think it's just something it's the the something that it's the way the world works. i know anything i tweet, anything i put on instagram, facebook, whatever it's up. when you it's going to come up. when you look which what we do look at me, which is what we do all now. okay. dr.

all the time now. okay. dr. brown, i to bring you back brown, i want to bring you back in point. in at that point. >> where is line for you? >> where is the line for you? because obviously you for stand up free speech. you believe in it when does it it wholeheartedly when does it cross the line into into hate speech, into racism , into speech, into racism, into homophobia? where is the line for you? or do you think people should just be able to tweet whatever they like you? >> no , i think that does have to >> no, i think that does have to be a line and the answer, i'm afraid it's a bit of a typically fiddly one. is it will depend on the facts vary from case to case. but i think the well, first of all, one thing we can definitely rule out is that your employer is not entitled to sort of fidelity to their values . of fidelity to their values. your employer buys your time , it your employer buys your time, it buys your labour. it does not buys your labour. it does not buy your soul. so it does, you know, we do not owe obedience to some sort of nebulous or vaguely

stated body of values. so i think we can say that is very much a sort of one side of the line . i think much a sort of one side of the line. i think as a rule of thumb , the proper test that certainly the employment tribunal should be using is has this tweet damaged the employment relations ship such that it can't go on or perhaps that it couldn't go on without some sort of correction , you know, like a warning or something like that. so, you know, that would mean that the employee has said something which is really likely to damage business, to damage custom, to make it impossible or very difficult for that employee to continue working. to you rub along with their colleagues. now what we're seeing is this extremely risk averse approach where they think anything said on twitter is as public as as writing it on the side of big ben.and writing it on the side of big ben. and it's not. and this

assumption that anything mildly fruity or spicy is going to bnng fruity or spicy is going to bring the world falling down around their heads . and that's around their heads. and that's where we need a sense of proportion and a sense of caution. hopefully, that's what musk's move is going to help do i >> hannah, do you want to reply to that ? to that? >> yeah, i understand that. you know, you are being paid for your time and services, but i think at the same time, if you're representing a brand in any way, it has to make sense. it has to work both ways that you're if anyone, if you know, if a client customer was to get in touch with me and say, this person that you has person that works for you has these kind of views, it would affect my money, my business. so it be something that it wouldn't be something that would work. >> mean, really >> like i mean, it's really interesting how yourjob because when you're connecting brands with influencers, actually with influencers, you actually have digging don't have to do the digging, don't you? go through you? you have to go through influencers posts to check that whatever they're posting is in line with with that brand . line with with that brand. >> yeah. and we've had big relationships fall apart because

of something they may, they might have tweeted, might have posted or might have even interacted with online can really affect and influencers career the kind of brands career and the kind of brands that they're able to work with in future. so having that in the future. so having that footprint not footprint that's kind of not clean as a whistle, but you're proud of everything that you've put out there and you can back up whatever you've said, whatever put posted whatever you've put posted online. think it's vital . online. and i think it's vital. >> okay. dr. brent harris and hannah o'donohue hobbs, thank you for joining hannah o'donohue hobbs, thank you forjoining us on gb news this morning on this fascinating debate. thank you. >> thank you very much, both of you. it's an interesting one that because you're not that because if you're not careful, nobody left. careful, there'd be nobody left. >> be employed >> that could be employed because all been a bit because we've all been a bit frisky at some point, haven't we? mean, just it is. we? i mean, just the way it is. and also, i've got a big question how the heck is elon musk bankroll all this? musk going to bankroll all this? i be millions i mean, there could be millions of getting in touch with of people getting in touch with him. >> he has got billions, be >> he has got billions, to be fair. you wanted to put fair. yeah if you wanted to put his where mouth is or his money where his mouth is or is it just a big pr stunt? well, i think there's probably a bit

of well, isn't there? i of that as well, isn't there? i mean, when took over mean, he when he took over twitter, now x, he said it was all about protecting free speech. him putting speech. so this is him putting his his mouth is. his money where his mouth is. he's saying, i'll protect people from want post from what they want to post online. yeah. >> does have very serious >> and it does have very serious implications 125 implications there. 125 non—crime hate, 125,000. non—crime hate incidents in the uk. the police uk. now, that is when the police get social media get involved in social media posts. think a step too posts. i think that's a step too far. they should be there far. they should be out there policing and policing streets and not policing streets and not policing tweets. >> yeah, well, you will have a view on that at home. so do get in touch us this morning. in touch with us this morning. gb views at gbnews.com. now summer is due to make a comeback. would nice, comeback. that would be nice, wouldn't but it just be wouldn't it? but will it just be a in the pan? well, we'll a flash in the pan? well, we'll tell that in just tell you about that in just a moment. stay with us. this is britain's news .

cross about it because i felt that it was intrusive and it was patronising . and it was also an patronising. and it was also an attack on a cherished national symbol, the bulldog, which we love in this country. it was an attack on small business. >> peta, which stands for people for the ethical treatment of animals , says that promoting animals, says that promoting breeds with breathing impairments nought realises their suffering and encourages others to get them the name of a pub is not going to influence anyone in in what dog they choose to buy. >> and that was pretty much their reasoning. they say they'd even pay to help rename the pub to the old mutt, which they think will go down better with locals . locals. >> oh, why should i? >> oh, why should i? >> animal rights get involved in it ? it's not nothing to do with it? it's not nothing to do with them. what a name of a pub is. >> people are getting off the dog. if they want the dog. >> if he loved the breed of the dog, if it was called the sea lion before. >> so did that encourage people

keep sea lions? no >> who's a conservative >> mike, who's a conservative parliamentary candidate, says the name is staying. >> well, it's obviously a woke agenda many fronts , agenda globally on many fronts, isn't there? but, you know, here in the midlands then they've met the match because we're not changing name of the pub. changing the name of the pub. you love our bulldogs you know, we love our bulldogs and not backing down on this. >> the stoke pub was renamed once, doing it twice . well, that once, doing it twice. well, that would be barking mad . would be barking mad. >> nice dog. nice pub will hollis gb news in stoke on trent i >> -- >> oh, that 5mm >> oh, that is a fantastic report. you cannot get will hollis out of a pub. he loves the pub, that boy. >> that's what mike newton, the governor of the old bulldog. if it all falls through in the pub trade, that guy is a textbook. alan partridge impersonator back of the net. he looks like him. he sounds like him. he was thoroughly complaining. what a great sorry. look, we're joined now by christopher biggins and of course, davina during your taylor through papers. taylor to go through the papers. but before we go through the papers, guys, get your papers, guys, let's get your reaction because

is something that we're really missing and think it missing out on. and i think it the support network just the support network is just dissolving because of digital. >> i absolutely entirely agree. i on monday nights i play football on monday nights badly . i'm 53 i play football on monday nights badly. i'm 53 but i still badly. i'm 53 now, but i still have a pop up. but the people that are playing with were builders, , high builders, decorators, high powered lawyers, but all we do, we're all equal on the pitch and we're all equal on the pitch and we have a few jars afterwards and all mates. i think and we're all mates. i think team is great for the team sports is great for the soul, but that's also why love soul, but that's also why i love my business, because actors, it's great and the fascinating thing is you can be with someone for a year, perhaps in a play or a television series, and then you finish and you have the most wonderful and then you wonderful time and then you never think about them again until see them again. until you see them again. >> then it's to how it >> and then it's back to how it was. the most was. it's the most extraordinary. but business and it's a business that i love. and for that reason. >> and is it such a bonding experience sharing a stage ? experience sharing a stage? >> i think it really is. i think and you bond intensely for those however weeks or years or however many weeks or years or whatever you do. i mean, it's just wonderful.

>> but we're human creatures, aren't we? we're group creatures . we're team players. yeah. spirit and i think we lose a lot of that when we exercise on our own or we do things our own. special the pandemic, we special during the pandemic, we were we only team were isolated. we will only team sport. it can't beat them. >> think the adrenaline >> i think the adrenaline that you experience together is something that bonds you for life. you know, life. it's like, you know, comrades a sinking ship, all comrades on a sinking ship, all of sudden bonded for of a sudden you're bonded for life. i think it's that sort life. and i think it's that sort of like do or die mentality that competitive sport you with competitive sport gives you with your that you can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible that you can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible at that you can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible at it. that you can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible at it. likeit you can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible at it. like me,u can't competitive sport gives you with yotterrible at it. like me, i can't be terrible at it. like me, i bet you're not. i bet. >> i bet you're not. i'm wearing gold. >> move on. okay. begins let's have a look at quite shocking story the sun. it's about ian story in the sun. it's about ian watkins has been attacked in jail. >> yes i know. this is the pop star who i don't really know this story, but he got profits. he got, what, 30 was it 37 years or something ? no, it can't be 37 or something? no, it can't be 37 years. anyway, he got a long, long jail sentence. 35 years. it was not not far off. 35 years in 2013, for 13 offences against children . so he's in prison and

children. so he's in prison and he was stabbed in the neck. i think now they say that he was teaching some of the inmates the guitar and also he had a very young girlfriend who came in. so it's two reasons why a people got jealous because they weren't being taught the music by him. and also they were jealous of the girlfriend. wonder if the the girlfriend. i wonder if the fact that he was a didn't come into it because, you know , into it because, you know, bizarre, isn't it? >> i mean, it's like , why the >> i mean, it's like, why the hell is this guy still breathing the same air as anybody ? you the same air as anybody? you know, for me, anybody who harms children , they should be the children, they should be the ones being experimented on, you know? absolutely you lose all your human rights, you shouldn't put like chimpanzees and everything in these, you know, virus labs that we've got going on. it should be these human beings. they should be tested on because they have lost. they have taken away lives. >> i agree. touch far. >> i agree. a touch too far. i get i can't. >> i can't. i can't just i just cannot picture why this person is breathing.

>> yeah . and look, there's a >> yeah. and look, there's a whole conversation around, you know, do these people deserve to go to jail or more than that? but look, that's a big debate to separate time is davina, let's get back to beating the bulge, shall we? >> and this is about portion size. yeah >> so apparently meals have got out of proportion since the 19 70s. out of proportion since the 19 705. i out of proportion since the 19 70s. i mean , the size of our 70s. i mean, the size of our meals is so big. and i think i think it's probably down to the cost of production. you know, so we've, we've got super sized meals , but really the super meals, but really the super addicting meals. so you end up eating more more and more eating more and more and more because they're like gateway drugs. it also to stop drugs. and it also says to stop eating which i'm just eating meat, which i'm just totally is totally against because meat is the nutrient dense thing on the most nutrient dense thing on the most nutrient dense thing on the that's what the planet. and that's what satisfies you. >> that because that's >> you say that because that's the thing you can cook. the only thing you can cook. >> you this is true unscrambled. >> i'm afraid have to leave >> i'm afraid we have to leave it there. >> we're out of time. we >> we're simply out of time. we could talk all day. christopher biggins so much for an biggins thank you so much for an excellent this morning. >> thank you. now here's rachel ayers your forecast. ayers with your monday forecast. >> like things are heating >> looks like things are heating up. boxed boilers sponsors

up. boxed boilers proud sponsors of gb news. of weather on gb news. >> good morning . my name of weather on gb news. >> good morning. my name is rachel ayers and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office. the weekend was unsettled for many , but let's unsettled for many, but let's have a look at what we've got to start. the new working week . start. the new working week. after a of a cool night, after a bit of a cool night, plenty skies around plenty of clear skies around this morning allowing for early brightness, but cloud will soon bubble up, allowing showers to develop. and these could be heavy, especially across northern and eastern parts of scotland where we might also see the thunderstorm , though dry the odd thunderstorm, though dry for across the south with for many across the south with plenty sunshine. so feeling plenty of sunshine. so feeling pretty here with highs pretty pleasant here with highs of 22 or even locally, 23 in the south—east now into this evening and those showers will slowly start to ease away to allow for some clear spells to develop ahead of this area of cloud and rain pushing in from the southwest, bringing outbreaks of rain and drizzle into the early hours of tuesday . it will be hours of tuesday. it will be a clearer night, though, across

scotland, northern england and northern ireland, where we'll see temperatures dropping quite widely in rural areas into the single figures . now, throughout single figures. now, throughout the rest of tuesday , as this the rest of tuesday, as this rain and cloud will erratically make its way eastwards, this will mostly be quite light rain and drizzle, though there could be odd, heavier bursts in be the odd, heavier bursts in there, but bringing quite a dull and gloomy day for much of

away . away. >> good morning. it's 9:00 on monday. the 7th of august. today the government will push ahead with plans for asylum seekers to arrive on the uk's first migrant barge in the coming days. that's despite critics dubbing the vessel a death trap. we'll be speaking to the shadow international secretary to find out what labour would do to sort out what labour would do to sort out the crisis. >> the home secretary has announced plans to clamp down on landlords and businesses who take on illegal immigrants, but do we have the police resources to follow through with these proposals ? proposals? >> one council in sutton is under fire after introducing higher parking charges for people who use cash to pay. is that fair? we'll be discussing that fair? we'll be discussing that later . that later. >> and of course, here's your all important monday weather forecast. the weekend saw plenty of wet and windy weather, but what does the weather have in store as we start the new week ? store as we start the new week? >> join me later for a full

forecast with all the details . forecast with all the details. >> good morning. i'm martin daubney. >> and i'm ellie costello. and this is breakfast on gb news. >> and the first group of migrants are expected to be housed on the bibby stockholm barge in the coming days. despite opposition from local groups in portland. >> barge set to >> well, the barge set to accommodate 500 male asylum seekers arrived at portland harbour last month after being tugged from falmouth. employers and landlords could be fined up to £60,000 for allowing illegal immigrants to work or rent. >> that's according to plans announced by the home secretary today. >> well, let's hear more on this from the minister for safeguarding dines. good safeguarding sarah dines. good morning again, ms dines. morning to you again, ms dines. i'm afraid we lost you a little bit earlier, but really good to see you once again. i wanted to talk to you about the front page of the telegraph morning, of the telegraph this morning, which braverman home

which is a suella braverman home secretary. apparently considering ascension island, which is halfway between brazil and africa, in to order house migrants or process migrants. it's being dubbed plan b for rwanda . so is this just another rwanda. so is this just another pointless announcement really me that doesn't have any meaning for difference? it won't make any meaningful difference . it's any meaningful difference. it's >> well, as i understand it, it's not an announcement. it's just speculation. what i can say is that we are thoroughly committed to the rwandan scheme. we're waiting for the supreme court to give its judgement. i'm pleased that the court and pleased that the high court and the lord chief justice found that offshoring and considering these was perfectly these applications was perfectly lawful are confident that lawful and we are confident that we will succeed . so it's not we will succeed. so it's not right to speculate about other countries as a proper government . we are, of course, looking at additional wrap around resources, but we are thoroughly committed the rwandan committed to the rwandan agreement it. >> let's turn now to the bibby stockholm. we spoke earlier to a

resident of a protest group dead against the vessel being in portland . and it's fair to point portland. and it's fair to point out that people from both sides don't want this vessel there. even the anti—racist and refugees welcome brigade saying it will simply overload the nhs down there despite all of these protests. you're pressing on with this barge . why . with this barge. why. >> we need to send a message across the world that coming to the united kingdom illegally doesn't mean you're to going get into a very comfortable hotel . into a very comfortable hotel. the bibby stockholm is just one of a wide range of measures that we're bringing to in move people out hotels. we're spending out of hotels. we're spending over £6 million a night. it's just not acceptable. we need to use this sort of basic but perfectly appropriate accommodation in relation to local services . a lot of money local services. a lot of money has gone in, i think £380,000 was given to local authorities to assist in this regard. but in relation to services like the nhs and health, there is going

to be a full range of medical services on board that ship. so it's not quite as reported anything like this where a large groups of migrants are congregated . it is never congregated. it is never popular, which is why we have to stop the crisis in the channel. but we can't do that by having the pull factors of having wonderful hotels, being used for illegal migrants who have travelled through several safe countries get here. let's not countries to get here. let's not forget that . forget that. >> i mean, one of the pull factors that we should be discussing this morning is people, illegal migrants living and working in this country and being able to do so. and that's what you're here to talk about today, the tripling of fines for those supporting illegal migrants with work and a place to live. i mean, for many people watching and listening, they will supportive of this will be very supportive of this action. of course, the first action. but of course, the first question is how can you actually impose this or do we have the police power in order to actually deal with this? we had an executive on from the cooperative the other day who was saying that they had 1000

instances of shoplift , eating in instances of shoplift, eating in their stores every single day. and the police can't even come out to a shoplifting incident . out to a shoplifting incident. how do you expect the police to come out and deal with illegal migrants ? migrants? >> well, it's very important to send the message across the world that the social media adverts are wrong . if you come adverts are wrong. if you come to the uk, you're not going to automatic be able to get quite cheap, quiet accommodation, which unlawful , or you can't which is unlawful, or you can't work without the proper legal background, visa in background, the right visa in relation to enforcement, we have dramatically upped our immigration in enforcement visits. it's not just the police, it's the national crime agency. it's the borders. we have a lot of joint working together on this. so we do have capability . we've got more capability. we've got more officers than before , and we are officers than before, and we are working hard in this area and we are going to be to make are going to be able to make sure that those rogue landlords and rogue employers that think they rip everybody off they can just rip everybody off by employing illegals, that's got to stop. it's not fair for the good, good people who are

offering accommodation. the good landlords and the good employers. it'sjust landlords and the good employers. it's just not fair for them to be undercut by what is criminal activity. is in fact criminal activity. let's frank. so i'm very let's be frank. so i'm very pleased home secretary pleased that the home secretary is today we're is announcing today that we're wrapping up to wrapping penalties up to £60,000, some might say it's about time, too . we need to stop about time, too. we need to stop this criminal activity. it's international organised crime. let's not forget, it's not just 1 or 2 people that fancy coming to the uk. this is organised crime and it has to stop. it's cross nation and it mustn't stop in the uk. well sarah gb news performed a sting on a car wash in aldershot recently and illegals were working there on the black market and they were staying at a hotel in aldershot. >> paid for by you, by the government, by serco . what would government, by serco. what would happenin government, by serco. what would happen in those instances ? so happen in those instances? so the landlord of those illegal residents was the government . residents was the government. would you find yourselves . would you find yourselves. >> well, that's quite shocking . >> well, that's quite shocking. of course we need to stamp out this practise and this is as a

result of the huge influx of people that we've had illegal migrants across the channel. and you will get people that will try and work the system which is why we have to enforce larger penalties just to stop this sort of thing. and what we want to do is, of course, get migrants out of and we won't have this of hotels and we won't have this kind situation action. we kind of situation action. we need get my warrants need to get my warrants processed in perfectly decent but fundamental rudimental free accommodation, not hotels. why should social media? why should crime advertise across the world come to the uk ? you can stay in come to the uk? you can stay in a hotel and you can either rent illegally or you can work illegally. frankly, it's got to stop and i'm pleased that this prime minister and the home secretary are doing something about it. >> i agree with what >> sarah, i agree with what you're but it you're saying, but i'll put it to you again. government to you again. the government serco is biggest landlord of serco is the biggest landlord of asylum seekers and if those asylum seekers and if those asylum seekers and if those asylum seekers are prove to be working illegally and as in your own plan, you set out to find them, you'll be fining the

landlord, which is the serco . landlord, which is the serco. i'll just repeat my question will the government be in a position where you'll finding position where you'll be finding yourself as well? >> effectively it's subcontract , isn't it? serco will have the same legal responsibilities as any landlord across the nation where they can do a very simple five minute check online in with the home office. these are established principles for landlords. the processes have been established for a while. landlords can quite easily check, employers . so of check, as can employers. so of course there has been an influx across the channel. nobody doubts that. and where there is a possibility of a mass migration through safe countries, you end up with situations like this. it to situations like this. it has to be policed better . and yes, if be policed better. and yes, if serco need to fined , they serco need to be fined, they need fined. they need to need to be fined. they need to do best as possible do their job as best as possible , with anybody else that's , along with anybody else that's giving accommodation . giving accommodation. >> sarah is really good to see you this morning. thank you so much your time. that much for your time. that was sarah jones parliamentary under secretary minister for secretary of state, minister for safeguard thing with us on the programme. do know what programme. do let us know what you to what you have to say

you had to what you have to say about her thoughts there. gb views at gb news. >> and interesting how how she said that serco should be fine if those rules are broken. let's make sure that's up on. make sure that's followed up on. okay, move now. we've okay, let's move on now. we've heard government has to heard what the government has to say. hear from the say. now let's hear from the plans to illegal plans to tackle illegal immigration from the labour party they'll party and let's see how they'll do differently. do that differently. >> yes, let's speak now to secretary of state for international thomas international trade nick thomas simmons. you simmons. really good to see you this morning. how would the this morning. so how would the labour party issue of labour party tackle the issue of illegal migration? would you use barges like the bibby stockholm ? >> well 7- >> well , ? >> well , good to ? >> well, good to join you both. this morning. and in terms of asylum accommodation, what we need to do is to drive down the backlog so that we can go back to using the long standing accommodation that we've used for many years so that we are not in a position where we have to use hotels or barges, bases that are being used that are frankly costing the taxpayer an extraordinary amount. we hear

about 6 million a day being spent on hotels . so what we will spent on hotels. so what we will be doing is driving down that asylum backlog. we'll do that firstly . by using the £140 firstly. by using the £140 million, the government's currently spent on the rwanda plan, which has sent more home secretaries to rwanda than people to actually have a cross border policing unit to try and bust the model of the people smuggling gangs so that fewer people end up in the english channel on that dangerous crossing in the first place. secondly deal with the actual backlog where there are, for example, agreed dates in place with safe countries like albania, then we should be fast tracking those people through the system. and third, we need to get more returns, agreements in place because when people are found to have no right to be here, the government just doesn't have the returns agreements in place to be able to return those people to safe countries. so what we need to see is that driving down of the asylum backlog is unfair on the people in it and it's unfair on

the british taxpayer as well. well nick, put it to you well nick, i'll put it to you that kinnock, the shadow that stephen kinnock, the shadow immigration yesterday immigration minister, yesterday said labour party would said that the labour party would use barges like the bibby stockholm because you'd inherit the infrastructure from the tory party. >> so if voters are looking for a clear point of difference, especially in places like portland, which is facing a situation, it simply does not want. what's the difference between you and the conservative party? basically both doing the same thing ? same thing? >> well, no. martin stephen kinnock is talking about the situation we'll inherit over which we have no control if we are privileged enough to come into government next year, we'll inherit the asylum accommodation position that the conservatives will have put us in over the next 12 months. but we will be moving back to a situation , as moving back to a situation, as i say, where we will be using the long standing asylum accommodation. it's been used for many, many years before the conservative has got themselves

into a mess where they had to use the bases. this barge and hotels. it's that action that we need and as i say, it isn't just about the people in the city system. it's about this cost of this whole system to the british taxpayer . it's acting in taxpayer. it's acting in nobody's interest at the moment, which is why ministers need to act in a far better way than they been over recent years they have been over recent years . so the government today are announcing a tripling of fines for those who support illegal migrants, offering them work illegally and allowing them to rent from them as well . rent from them as well. >> they're announcing this this crackdown by tripling the fines on this. what would the labour party do to tackle the nail salons in this country? the car washes the building sites that rely on cheap but illegal. labour >> yes, we've been arguing for the regime on this to be toughened for some time. the problem is that the government has announced the increasing of

the fines today, but you have to have attached to that as well proper enforcement action. take the issue of illegal employment . since 2016, the number of penalties that the government has issued has gone down by two thirds gone down. so you have to, along side the increasing of the fines actually actually be doing the work to ensure that people are caught as well . so people are caught as well. so absolutely, we need a tough system , but the government system, but the government certainly needs to change the approach that it's been using over the past seven years, where the of penalties has the number of penalties has simply been going down. >> well as immigration, >> okay. as well as immigration, which the big story today. which is the big story today. you're also here today to talk about labour strategy . the about a labour strategy. the tories are failing on getting people back to work because three quarters of the uk is still has lower employment than before the pandemic. perhaps that's because of the way we've changed work from home. changed working work from home. so how the labour party get people back into work ?

people back into work? >> well, well, firstly, martin, just just to say that we are the only g7 country with a lower rate of employment than before the pandemic. so it's a particular problem for britain . particular problem for britain. what would the labour party do to deal with this? well, firstly , i think we need to reform the work capability assessment because as we don't want a situation where people are afraid of going back into work. let's have a work capability change so that once people are back in work , if it doesn't work back in work, if it doesn't work out, they can then go back to the previous support they had. secondly, let's devolve employment support , support down employment support, support down to local communities. so instead of whitehall all knows best and one fits all employment support for the whole country, we can tailor it to the local labour market and let's as well put specific help in for particular groups, whether it's in terms of the over 50s those who are on

nhs waiting lists, let's have a proper partnership between local nhs services and employment support services. but let's also tackle the waiting list. millions of people on nhs waiting lists , people who want waiting lists, people who want to get back into work but are just not having the treatment that we need. it's almost as if the conservatives have given up on getting people back to work. >> okay . nick thomas—symonds, >> okay. nick thomas—symonds, shadow secretary of state for international trade. thank you for us today on gb news forjoining us today on gb news breakfast. thank thank you. breakfast. thank you. thank you. >> thank you very much. so we've heard from the government, we've heard from the government, we've heard shadow government heard from the shadow government this do know this morning. do let us know what of both of what you thought of both of those and those those interviews and what those politicians your politicians had to say. your views matter to us here on gb news. so that's gbviews@gbnews.com. this is gb news. britain's news channel coming up, we'll be speaking to the former chief secretary to the former chief secretary to the treasury, david mellor, to get his thoughts on the government's migration plan. so don't anywhere .

welcome back. the time is 9:19 and lots of you have been getting in touch today. thank you so much for your company. >> yeah, lots of the story on electric cars. are they spying on us or the chinese spying on us via our evs? we have sir iain duncan on the show duncan smith on the show earlier. peter seems be earlier. peter seems to be a fan. is the only mp who fan. ieds is the only mp who ever he has a view on. anything

speaks so much sense. he answered every question put to him morning with confidence answered every question put to him aplomb. ning with confidence answered every question put to him aplomb. ning word,onfidence answered every question put to him aplomb. ning word,onfidusee and aplomb. nice word, nice use of aplomb there, peter. of the word aplomb there, peter. yeah, if he'd have mp i'm yeah, if he'd have been mp i'm sure conservatives would not sure the conservatives would not be the situation that be in the dire situation that they've now find themselves in. >> what peter goes to >> that's what peter goes on to say sunbeds, just say and on sunbeds, just something little bit lighter. something a little bit lighter. apparently front apparently this is the front page apparently this is the front page sun this morning. page of the sun this morning. the the germans are the brits and the germans are rallying over sunbeds this summer. and john says it's not just on the beach. it also happens on cruise ships. i imagine it's worse there because it's contained space warfare. it's a contained space warfare. yeah, apparently fights breaking out all over europe, over sunbeds this who knew ? sunbeds this summer. who knew? do keep them coming in. gb views. gbnews.com. >> okay. we've been hearing from the government labour on the government and labour on their to tackle migration, their plans to tackle migration, but joining us more analysis but joining us for more analysis is now the former chief secretary treasury, david secretary to the treasury, david mellor. morning to you, mellor. good morning to you, david. we david. well, what a calamity we find ourselves in. we've been reporting portland . the reporting from portland. the first inmates are due there this week, if not today , nobody wants week, if not today, nobody wants that. what's your take on the

bibby stockholm situation before we to the government's we move on to the government's wider plans to crack down on illegal workers come out today ? illegal workers come out today? >> well, i'm speaking to you ten miles from portland, actually , miles from portland, actually, it's we don't get too much of the trouble here, but i feel sorry for the people of portland who've had this boat dumped upon them because, of course, what's going to happen is that these asylum seekers and young men in the main , none of them, quite the main, none of them, quite a lot of them know better than they should be, and they're going to be allowed during the hours of daylight to roam around the local community. i think thatis the local community. i think that is a bad idea. but what it evidences is the total failure on the part of the government. and i didn't find the contribution from the opposition generated much light on this matter . it is generated much light on this matter. it is it is dealing with why are these people here? you see it's a corruption of the whole idea behind the migrants and the whole idea behind people

being able to seek asylum that you can travel through. and the minister did make this point, to be fair to her half a dozen perfectly safe countries and you end up in the uk. so what is it about the uk that makes us so attractive? is it that we give them money when others don't? is it that until lately anyway? and as a limited number of boats we can stick offshore so they'll still be staying in hotels, some of them four star hotels , and we of them four star hotels, and we will end up with a situation where people come on a self—selecting basis because there are ways in which people with skills and qualifications can come into this country. this lot don't care about this. they turn up on a beach and they're greeted by lots of lawyers who take money off the public purse. why are they allowed to do that? and judges, what is an english judge really have to do with why somebody, i don't know from albania wants to settle in this

country ? he wouldn't normally country? he wouldn't normally have any authority over that, only gets authority over that because someone has chosen to turn up on a beach. and what the government has failed to do , government has failed to do, singularly failed to do, is to remove the courts from this. once you get the lawyers involved, once you get the judges involved , these people judges involved, these people are going to be here for months and months and months and good luck to the people of portland. the only thing i would say about portland and those talking about the portland is of the ss bibi portland is of course where a lot of d—day was launched from . if it was good launched from. if it was good enough for our soldiers, it's good enough for this wretched lot , isn't good enough for this wretched lot, isn't it, to good enough for this wretched lot , isn't it, to live good enough for this wretched lot, isn't it, to live in portland? but whether they should be allowed to live in portland is quite another matter i >> -- >> well, david mellor, it's always good to see you in the morning. lovely blue skies behind there in dorset. so behind you there in dorset. so go and enjoy your lovely second home in the sunshine. there it's nice to see the sunshine, isn't it? >> well, that's it. now from us
