Ultr processed foods Boris Johnson is calling on the government to do this in his Daily Mail column the former prime minister says that people don’t know what they’re feeding their families and there’s too many extra ingredients that’s why I’m asking should we put tobacco starle warnings on Ultra
Processed food we joining me now to discuss Steve Miller former presenter of fat families Helena Davidson campaigner and policy expert at the vegan Society right so I’m going to start with you Steve Millow what do you think oh I’m a laan Boris today good on
You mate uh and the reason for that is we know that the research on cigarette you know the warnings on cigarettes I should say when those warnings were visual they worked very well the second reason on a practical level is that we need to start stop looking and listening
Before we start you know grazing and putting things in the trolley and the third thing is that you know these kind of signs or These Warnings I should say are kind of hypnotic they trigger the emotion so they’re much more likely to get people to think and and maybe
Resist yeah so the at the vegan St were broadly in favor of increasing consumer knowledge um when it comes to the nut nutritional value of people’s Foods um but I think it’s important to mention that Ultra processed food isn’t an issue that’s exclusive to vegans and whilst most meat Alternatives will fall into
The ultra processed food category it largely depends on how we’re going to look at how ups are going to be assessed because vegan um Alternatives that are all under Ultra processed foods they’re actually on average healthier than meat products or ult processed foods that contain animal products so I think it
Depends on how we look at it we might have to take a closer look at the nutritional profile of individual Foods rather than the level of Processing 9:30 on Monday the 18th of March this is Britain’s news on GB news with Andrew Pierce and be Turner veryy good morning to you so stick with me that’s the fightback message from the Prime Minister as rumors of a penny Morant takeover get louder and some good news the Princess

GB news alerts by scanning the QR code on your screen or go to GB news.com alerts now it’s back to Andrew and Bev Oh very good morning 9:35 Monday morning welcome to BR Newsroom on GB news with me Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce well the Prime Minister speaking later today and he’s urging conser to stick by him as a new Welter of report saying he’s going to be ousted in the next two weeks some
Tores are attempting to use the leader of the House Penny Moren as a candidate to trigger a leadership race well if you recall her she was the one who wielded with a plum the ceremonial sword at the king’s coronation is that really a reason to make someone next prime minister of the
United Kingdom the fact they held a sword with great dignity and style for a whole hour oh my goodness if that is considered to be a qualifying uh characteristic of becoming prime minister then I genuinely need to leave this country because that is uty ridiculous that and that is what she’s
Best known for she’s pretty good in the house of speaker but she’s never run a major Ministry uh richy of course was at least chance of the Checker she was International Development secretary giving away money frankly money which we shouldn’t be giving away anyway and she’s been leader of the she was defense
Secretary for about three weeks no no qualifications for it and here’s the thing I can’t stand she’s too woke so she refers to we’re going to bring Sarah Vine my colleague from the Maryland in conversation moment she’s referred memorably in the commment to pregnant people what’s wrong with that sentence a
Lot and don’t think she has the warmth the connection um I don’t like the way she answers some of the uh questions in the House of Commons I don’t like the way she’s quite snooty about things and quite dismissive of people who don’t agree with her no 100% not I’m I’m the
Person you want to win over believe me she’s not she’s not not Sarah you’ve written about this um you know Penny Moren I’ve know Penny for a very long time very nice lady she has lots of cats yeah I have one not not a reason to
Um come prime minister I mean I think the thing is the D is what what happened last time the Tory party uh elected somebody on the basis of the Grassroots uh choice so she’s she’s doing really well on conservative home which is the Grassroots website uh the last time we elected a
Leader on that basis we got list trust list trust and that you know so there’s there’s a massive disconnect between the kind of person who appears to the T Grassroots voter and the kind of person who would play well in a general election campaign and who has to appeal
To the the entire country and I think I think that’s that’s a problem I mean people like the Tories like her Tory Grassroots people like her because she comes from military family she did awfully well at the coronation very dignified etc etc um the woke stuff I
Mean a lot of people don’t perhaps don’t know that she was quite unsound on all that stuff very unsound I mean she really was and a lot of people who um you know a lot of women from all political backgrounds you know Left Right Middle top bottom all unite behind
This idea that you know we don’t we don’t want women’s rights to be eroded and she was sort of she’s very unsound on that so for me that’s that’s a real problem with that she has a twin brother to him she’s very close because they lost their mom when they were very young
That made them very close and she was almost like Mom to him and he is a um he’s an activist in in the in the trans field and I think he’s had being very care phrases heavy influence on her under you influence and call you what
You will um and he she sees a lot of him of course she’s entitled her views how can the prime of this country possibly the vi more more to the point there’s no what what what are you doing you’re rearranging the dectors on the Titanic I
Mean you can’t have a new leader now that’s just that would just be Madness be laughable and starma would call an election rightly and you know you go straight to the polls I just think it’s you know I think rishy has you know rishy I personally me this poll
That we had in the mail on Sunday at the weekend which is catastrophic 250 seats I personally think it could be worse than that I think the conservatives I’ve said this before you know they could find a cure for cancer and people still wouldn’t vote for them there’s a general
Feeling of malays people are are tired you know there’s a there’s there’s a sense that that that there’s almost nothing that they can do to turn the ship around rishy bless him he’s going to keep trying and you know you got to respect him for that but I think
Sometimes in life you just have to take the medicine yeah and I think the Tories might just have to take the medicine I was with some Tories at the weekend on Friday and they said the same thing nobody’s listening M doesn’t matter what they’re saying so they had the budget
There was a big poll by Michael ashof at the weekend showing that there was a lot of popular The Cutting Nation insurance was popular and the VAP tax was popular but still the tor’s pole rating went down further and I think this is the other thing I think a lot of people feel
Quite disenfranchised in this country I mean you know I don’t really know who to vote for I mean I’m I’m you I’m a conservative but I you know I don’t really there’s no one I mean the lib Dems are just sort of sitting around like vultures waiting to pick over the
Carcass of the Tory defeat reform are just you know they’re just all the Mad people on the right hand side who I think you know are just a bit kind of okay just a bit too you know um conservative well to they’re sort of conservative in a you
Know I’m quite socially liberal you know they they’re on they’re on the sort of Kernel what I would describe the telegraph side of of toryism which is fine you know there’s not but but everything is so fractured and so it’s hard to know there’s no there’s no one
Person uniting everything and you look at k d and you think of his you know this there sort of people that he’s going to be putting in charge the so-called quad you know Angela Raina and you know who’s who’s who’s sort of embroiled in this bizarre story about
Her two homes you know who bought her Council flat on the right to buy scheme which reminds me again who brought that in Margaret Thatcher you know this is a woman who says all Tori are scum and yet she benefits from a conservative policy it just all feels so sort of mad and
Hypocritical and muddled up and I just don’t really I my great favor of the election is that people just won’t vote I think you’re absolutely right I think that is what’s going to Happ that’s really sad because you know democracy is important and look you know we’ve just
Seen the elections in Russia look look what happens when there is no Democratic vote so what do you think is the plan in number 10 just keep pushing on to the aut hope that K sta does something hope reform don’t gain any more momentum yeah stick to the knitting I think carry on
Stick to their knitting I would just do that I think I think Penny Moren should come out today or tomorrow whenever she feels ready and say look I’m not running to be the leader maybe richy could give her a job you know nothing wrong with that give her a job give her something
To do uh if people you know if if if the Grassroots Tories really like her then give her a role you know fantastic we’re going to get a cut in inflation on Wednesday we think there could be a cut in interest rate but but will they get
Any benefit for it well I mean the thing about politics and the thing about good politics is that none of the policies that you do ever see any benefit for at least 10 years you never get you know you you don’t get the reward immediately that’s why it’s so difficult you know in
In a sort of election thing because you know all the good work that you do probably won’t won’t percolate until you know long after you’re dead and buried were you pleased to see the front page of the sun Kate out yes absolutely yeah lovely we’re going to talk about that in
Just a moment that’s a marvelous tease for everyone at home the Princess of Wales Andrew says has been apparently seen out and about we haven’t seen any photos though and also sadik Khan any minute now is going to be joined by Sak starma to launch his bid to be reelected
As London May cue the grown Andrew Pierce this is Britain’s Newsroom on GB news debes and Co weekdays from 600 p.m. get this right we all know by now don’t we that so many uh NHS workers are abused by people that they’re trying to help we’ll all agree that that is pretty
Damn disgraceful but what do we do about it because now uh some London hospitals are looking at whether or not they should be able to ban people that do this for a year from those Hospital facilities is that the way forward Daniel do you like this no abuse no
Excuse that is the campaign there’s no other choice for most people it’s either the NHS or nothing and if you’re going to take that monopolistic power then then you need I think you have responsibilities towards people you can’t cut them off so there are ways in which of course you can bring criminal
Charges against them uh if they committed a criminal offense that’s fine they might even be locked up in jail but what you can’t do is cut off Health Services because you’re the only supplier yes I think you can can cut it off and you should cut it off London is
Very different from everywhere else and it goes back to a conversation about immigration the majority of nurses in London are either African or Filipino and it harks back to their nature and their culture when you’re younger your parents look after you when you’re older you look after them they don’t go into
Homes so there’s a way that a threshold of Tolerance they have that is above and beyond most people so cuz I found like when I was younger most of the nurses were white now they work in hospitals in Ascot and Somerset London is the war war zone I have seen horrific things happen
To nurses and they stay they show up for work there’s a protection they are owed Beyond owed and if you abuse if you abuse something that’s offered to you as a part of your citizenship you should be there should be a penalty for that for the same reason if you oig to you
There’s no offer involved in the but it is no but there is an offer because at the end of the day like you you figure out how to get money and go private so just because you’ve created something that gives you solution no it’s easy if it’s easy that’s an impossible solution
That’s kind and easy andal to alled but it’s a good thing for all do not abuse it that simply join me Camila Tomy every Sunday at 9:30 when I’ll be interviewing the key players in British politics and taking them to task this report basically says that he’s not fit to
Stand trial with an upcoming election looming over Westminster now is the time for Clear honest answers I agree and that’s precisely what I’ll get is he indecisive incompetent that’s the Camila tomin show at 9:30 every Sunday on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s election Channel I’m Michelle jubber and
I’m not here to tell you what to think I’d much rather hear what you have to say Sir send in your opinions to gbvs at GB newws keep them clean and you never know I might read them out with my panel here on jubes and Co we debate we get
Stuck into the issues of the day on a show where all views to welcome Especially Yours GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel we still got in the studio trailed Sarah Vine from the daily Mount now we’re talking about cath midon here’s the front page of the sun they have a scoop Kate outdo she’s seen out with William at Farm first public trip ends web web rumors that photograph
However is not of Kate at the farm store because the son haven’t published a photograph of her they may have one in which case they’re choosing not to run it Sarah I’m what you make all this well that’s a bit naughty of them to make it look like that’s a picture because it
Does look like that yeah it does I mean when you think the controversy of photographs and C yeah exactly it’s a bit nauy and they’re not the like almost every media publication has done this this morning I was woking up blur I’d look at my phone early this morning to
See her on a website and zooming in how does she look does she look tired she well I realiz I’m looking a photo from May 23 I know I know I mean it’s it’s nice that she’s out and about and feeling better and I honestly think that
You know I mean I don’t know if I don’t know if your viewers spend much time on the internet but the rumors that are out on the internet about unev are just unbelievable and it’s a reminder of what an absolute kind of wild west the internet is I mean you know we think
That’s a little bit cheeky yes that is a little bit cheeky but what’s online is beyond I mean absolutely Beyond they have handled it terribly though Haven they well they they have but I think also that I just don’t think they even they kind of understand the extent to
Which The Madness of the internet has contributed to all of this I mean I’ve seen awful stuff online especially on sites like Tik Tok you know where people have sort of mocked things up and it’s just been awful and and and there it’s completely unregulated there’s no
Comeback you can’t you can’t stop well I I don’t think that’s because I think that at a certain point you know you can’t say that that the some of the stuff that’s online is actually really lious about that and the thing is you say good B but we’re regulated here you
Regulation but you can’t a TV station and a radio station the newspapers are regulated but Facebook which is to my mind a media outlet has no regulation but also there are a lot of people online who will look at something on Tik Tok of mock up of her in whatever way
And think that that’s real we’ve just said how all these papers have got pictures that they’re passing off as the mainstream media is doing the same thing if you read if you read the story it does say we have no photograph it does say that but people don’t always
Read the story so I mean nobody is blameless in this I think the most important thing in terms of this story is that there is a woman at the center of this who is clearly struggling with her health and and the other question the the supplementary question really is
What is our relationship as the public with the royal family and how much honesty do they have to give us as their subject I mean personally I’ve always thought that you know if she’s got a something wrong with her then that’s her business and we don’t need to know the
Details of it but I do think that what you say is true that that that the palace have handled it really quite badly and I think they’re advising they not being advised very well and I think the people who are supposedly running their sort of PR department don’t really
Understand the landscape that they’re up against you know that I don’t think they kind of understand the degree to which particularly in America and on and on American websites and you know news channels there’s it’s just a sort of mad free-for-all and they need to try and
Harness all of that they need to get all of that under control and they’re not doing that what did you make the Sunday time story yesterday that she we we probably will see her quite soon there’s speculation actually she’ll join the royal family at church at Sandringham on
Sunday which would be great uh but that she will talk at some point at her pace and on her terms about her health and the battles she had whether she goes into the detail you think there does need to be that level of transparency
Now Sarah I think it’s up to her I think it depends how she feels about it I think I do think that even if you’re a celebrity or a you know whether you’re very just very famous or whether you’re a roal you know there are some things
That are personal aren’t they and need to remain personal I mean if she feels whatever it is that’s wrong with her if she feels she wants to talk about it because they you know because it could have a wider benefit um you know then
That’s a good idea but it has to be her decision but I don’t think that was the the you know that wasn’t the problem that we had last week it was the fact that it was the fact that things had been altered you know and and I think
People would rather I think if you say to people look I’m really sorry I don’t want to talk about what’s happened to me it’s very personal and I don’t I don’t really want to share it I’m sorry but I’m okay that’s one thing but if you
Sort of try and manipulate and but also as we’re saying that how anacronismo privacy everyone over shares everyone overshares everything and also particularly women of Kate’s Kate’s sort of age as well now everything is all about menopause or fertility problems or weight issues mental health mental health and so she’s taken this very
Unusual step for her generation to say I want to retain some privacy over this and I’ve I’ve sort of oscillated with this story as we’ve gone along but I think I’m coming to the position now where I’m very happy for her to retain her privacy and her dignity actually
About this and if it is something embarrassing yeah it could be something intensely personal because we don’t know and it isn’t our business at the end but also she might just need to process what’s happened to her you know sometimes people just need to process the experience that they’ve had she
Needs to work out how she feels about it and then when she’s ready she’ll talk about it what we do know of course though Sarah is when the king when we were found out that the King was going into hospital because he had an enlarged prostate God the NHS was blown nearly
Blown Away overwhelmed by men in particular men of my generation contacting their doctor contacting hospitals say what about me because they haven’t so that’s why sometimes it can be really really I agree but don’t forget the King has been has been you know he’s been a very prominent Royal
For all his life yeah slightly it’s a different scenario slightly and she’s married into the roal family it’s a little bit different she’s not used to it well she is sort of used to it but she’s not you know she wasn’t born to it it doesn’t it isn’t sort of hardwired
Into her yeah in the way that it is with him and without her I would genuinely be fearful for the future of the royal family oh I mean honestly last week uh was very interesting for us at the Daily Mail because we had such an outpouring
Of support for her and it’s clear it’s very clear that that that people in this country absolutely adore her and think she is a fantastic addition to the royal family and I think I think that uh the the Royals really need to be very conscious of that fact and and you know
She’s an absolute asset to that yeah she she looks theart she sounds theart she doesn’t put her foot wrong she’s a great Ambassador and she’s never she’s she’s not competing for well she understands the assignment as as they say exactly whereas Megan always was very conscious that she was being overshadowed by
Everybody else uh Megan wants to be the star that’s not Kate Kate knows their all family well Megan’s now very busy you know being new Nigel nson yes I noticed that whole new website She’s launched about promoting what’s it called American Riviera Orchard it’s like word
Salad you know that app what three words which I thought it was what three words address the two words that we’re missing Prince Harry yes mentioned anywhere well Andrew somebody’s got to make some money and it’s obviously we haven’t quite worked out what his particular skill set
Is yet have the outrageous bit his family the outrageous bit for me of her relaunching this brand is that she’s done it under the Duchess of ssex course she surely you hate the family you hate the role and yet you’re happy to keep to be one of the world’s great feminists is
That what she said oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh bless her well good luck to her right um Sarah I think I think we we got time for one more question oh one more question Margaret Thatcher being put in the same group as
Ad and AMA Bin Laden as contemporary baddies I don’t know I’d like to think that it’s just that they’re just a bit ignorant and don’t really understand history Victorian Al Museum I mean the victori understand history Sarah the thing is I think we can all agree that Margaret thater was a controversial
Political figure but I wouldn’t describe her as a villain no and um or a fascist who killed six million Jews exactly I mean I don’t know I mean my my um my daughter who’s 20 has a theory that the reason that the world is going to potted because it’s now being run by
Millennials who have never read a history book true and I don’t know I imagine it’s some sort of you know very woke 30y old well of course which made this terrible comparison is run by a former a be called trist is of course an historian clearly not a very good one
Well do do email us and let us know your justification for putting Margaret tcher in that group right thanks so much Sarah up next sadique KH is going to relaunch his London Merl bid any minute now what could he promise you that so that you would vote for him in the maral
Elections and if not him who GB views at gnews.org Snell a brighter Outlook with box solar sponsors of weather on GB news good morning welcome to your latest GB News weather forecast from the Met Office we’re looking ahead to today I think most of us should see some
Sunshine but unfortunately there is some further rain on the horizon but back to this morning we do have this band of cloud across more Central parts of the country some spots of rain in places too but either side there is some good amounts of sunshine and as we approach
Lunchtime especially across more Central parts of the country quite a decent lunch time to come plenty of sunshine into the afternoon that spreads its way a little bit further eastwards where further west thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain approaching but a mild one temperatures reaching 17° in the
Southeast so into the evening this area of rain spreads its way northeastward some heavy rain for a Time across parts of Scotland and Northern England the rain takes its time time to get towards the southeast so actually parts of Kent East Anglia probably remaining dry till
After Dawn and for all of us it’s another mild night temperatures across the South not falling much lower than 10 or 11° so we do start Tuesday off on a rather gray and damp note for most of us still some rain working its way eastwards across the country it does
Improve a little bit across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland as the day goes on mixture of some bright spells and showers here that may well transfer it way towards Northern England as the afternoon goes on and for all of us another fairly mild day temperature a
Little bit down compared to today but still highs of 15° in East Anglia that warm feeling inside from boxed boilers sponsors of weather on GB News time is ticking on your chance to win the Great British giveaway there’s a massive 12,34 5 in taxfree cash to spend however you like along with £500 in shopping vouchers for your favorite store a games console a pizza oven and a portable Sonos smart speaker and the best news

P.m. I’ve personally been very torn on whether Prince Harry should have full police protection when he’s in the United Kingdom on the one hand why should taxpayers Fork out for somebody that’s left the country and the institution he is no longer a working serving Royal but I don’t think it
Matters he is one of the most famous men in the world and whether he’s a Royal or not he is an ambassador for this country and he still does good charitable causes the Invictus games and he is still a nice and Charming guy with a heart and
Whilst he has left the royal family and departed these Shores he was and Remains the son of King Charles that is a biological fact well let’s hope so and it wasn’t his choice to be born into royalty it wasn’t his choice to be the son of the king and for that reason I
Think he should have equal police protection to his brother William when he is in this country he couldn’t be a more high-profile figure and unfortunately like all the Royals Harry will be a target for some very bad people I fear that if God forbid anything happened to him or his family
The authorities would have blood on their hands so it’s not often that I back Prince Harry but on this one he has my support look what happened to his poor mom killed in a Paris tunnel in the 1990s with an alleged drunk chauffeur a top royal security Insider recently told
Me that Diana would still be with us today if she had had top royal protection at that time so let’s not make the same mistake twice Prince Harry needs full protection and the best we’ve got yes he might be a numpty but he’s our Numpty good morning it’s 10 o’cl on Monday the 18th of March this is Britain’s Newsroom on GB news with me Beth Turner and Andrew Pier well stick with me that’s a fighting message from the Prime Minister this morning as rumors grow of Penny the leader of the commons being

The former prime minister’s been described in a display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London she’s been put alongside Hitler and AMA Bin Laden in terms of unpopularity do you Agree I think it’s a little harsh that little harsh outrageous it’s ridiculous I speak as one who has a life-size cutter of Margaret thater in my study at home I loved her let us know your thought do with her now this oh we could do with her now GB views at GB newws

Optimistic to think that that Target could be reached despite the government’s climate aims only 55,000 heat pumps were sold in the UK in 2022 the independent public spending watchdog said efforts to encourage people to install heat pumps have been slow because the costs have remained high and public awareness is

Adding Mrs SATA to a list of pantomim villains alongside of s Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler I’m sorry it’s unacceptable no it’s absolutely outrageous of course but don’t forget the director of the VNA is one Tristram hunt former labor MP yes and this is another example of how
Spiteful and jealous the labor party are and remain of Margaret Thatcher in in my view the greatest prime minister in my lifetime yeah and uh she at least put Britain back on its feet made people proud to go to work again and actually wanting to go to work and despite people
Trying to blow her up uh I think even if she was around today she wouldn’t be um fussed about this she’s got a good sense of humor she’ laugh um she’d laugh about it but I mean the point is that Bin Laden and Hitler are murderers Mass murderers on a horrible scale
And to include her in in that uh triumvirate it’s absurd absolutely absurd the the the point just to slightly in defense of the museum is that it’s a an installation about Punch and Judy puppet shows so they say over the years the evil character in the seaside puppet show has shifted from the
Devil to unpopular public figures including ADF Hitler Margaret Thatcher and Osama Bin Laden to offer contemporary villains so they’re not actually saying are they that she’s as bad as them she’s saying over the years she has been transposed as the villain in a Punch and Judy show the VNA name
Named after one of our greatest monarchs Victoria Empress of India uh I just think it’s a joke because actually they know the impact this will have what are the headlines Maggie is as bad as been of course they were they were trying to get headlines and Tristram hunt will
Enjoy this and he’s supposed to be in hisor and also they’re trying to promote uh an exhibition which quite frankly I don’t think many people would be rushing to yeah because punch and dudy are punch and dudy and um very entertaining they are on Brighton Beach or they used to be
Um but uh theyve probably been banned that for political they probably have because of domestic violence uh and of course um sausages are probably you know ultr processed foods uh but for goodness sake you know wokery can go so far yeah but I do think that it’s unfortunate
They they used Bin Laden and um Hitler with Margaret they were they always popular contemporary villains and almost any prime minister is going to be the subject of humor and attack and satire and that’s as it should be I find it a little implausible that any Punch
And Judy show would ever have Asama Bin Laden as the character given that the children watching would have any idea who he is anyway also Bin Laden was part of a medieval islamist cult that wanted to buried women alive for the sin of being women this is the first woman
Prime minister in Europe and the most successful yeah is Penny Moren the new Margaret tcher no I don’t think so because some Tories think she should be the next leader yes but I mean this is just uh the Tories seem to be on a suicide wish uh destroying themselves by the day and
A new leader isn’t going to make any difference now not from this bunch I think we need to clear the board and get someone fresh in Penny um don’t forget she once studied drama at the uh Victory Road Theater School in Portsmouth and um she also was a magician’s assistant and
I think she’ need to wave a magic wand rather than holding a sword if she’s going to be anything like and also when she was Secretary of Defense Secretary of State for defense three months less than three months actually everything she’s done is only lasts a very short
Time and in the house as leader she spends a long time having a go at the SNP and everything she reads from a script at the dispatch box I mean she it’s all written for her by someone else I don’t think she’s a lady of substance
I think she is a reasonable backbench MP at best and when she was Minister my sources tell me that in her ministerial roles outside being leader of the house she was lazy wasn’t n impressive uh didn’t really understand some of the briefs let alone read them properly I
Mean I don’t think she would be and I don’t think the British public would be conned for one minute into thinking by making Penny Morant leader of the conservatives they deserve to be reelected did because they don’t what did Margaret Thatcher have Pierce that none of this current crop of politicians
Seem to have and was it something about the culture at the time that meant she could be true to her character whereby it wouldn’t be popular now she had principles she had Vision she believed in the basic conservative values that true conservatives who’ve now been abandoned by Rishi and his mob believe
In and it’s actually uh I think if she was here today she’d probably be a member of the Reform Party she would deny that of course because she would say she’d have been a lifelong Tory she would have been but if she’d still been around and had any kind of influence I
Don’t think conservatives would be in this mess I mean she had principles she had Visions she stuck to her guns the L’s not for turning except when she did a urn and uh she was a Fearless strong politician who also had enormous impact when she spoke she’s very clever she was
A natural Communicator by being very small in terms of the output she did very um prime minister I mean like rishy today is making some speech about creating 20,000 apprentices that’s not going to make any difference to the outcome of the election at all and while
Some of his things that he’s doing are okay this quite frankly is a ministerial announcement not a prime ministerial announcement and he should he the trouble is people don’t see him as a leader of stature everyone even the leftwing um had a grudging respect for Margaret Thatcher because she was a strong t
Leader and her interventions were rare her interviews were rare because then you heard when you heard from her you listen to her and she was formidable in the comment of course I mean it was a famous time when she was having dinner with her cabinet in the Ritz and the
They were taking the order for the main course and they all ordered beef or lamb or fish and the waiter said to Margaret and the vegetables she said um they’ll have the same as me I don’t know if that story is true but it’s a lovely story well I like true certainly apocryphal
Right thanks Piers thank you so much for joining us now still to come this morning um Richie sonak is set to give a speech about apprenticeships as Piers just mentioned is he going to mention the rumored plot to replace him with Penny Morant I’m guessing he should make
A joke about it probably not that’s what he should do make a joke about it cuz then that shows it’s not serious don’t you think Pi yes absolutely yes I mean yeah and she should actually deny it yeah she should because um playing this game this is her third attempt to be
Leader I know it’s silly for it’s not doing her any good in my VI yeah well if he comes out in a dress holding a sword we’ll take that as a comedy line from him right this is Britain’s News Room on GB news don’t go anywhere three speech Nation Sunday
Nights from 700 p.m. our first question comes from Elliot Elliot hello is is Canada now an authoritarian State OT I think it’s been an authoritarian state for a while I mean uh Trudeau this is a new thing now and this is coming from the Justice Minister uh who has Arif
Verani and he has defended this new power for their online harms bill that sounds familiar we’ve got something quite similar and they’re saying they can now impose house arrest on someone who they think might commit a hate crime in the future right that’s scary stuff isn’t it there’s obviously a very dark
Side to this because you can’t you in my opinion you shouldn’t be able to imprison somebody before they’ve done anything well it is Canada and and uh I know you you in this country you kind of kind of respect Canada as a country America didn’t even know it was a
Country until recently and I think that’s what they’re trying to do they’re trying to to show themselves to be different than America I think America has a responsibility to to invade you know what I do you know you’re you’re kidding but it may come
Down to this or this may just be a a pre maybe well I just think it’s ridiculous that the idea of arresting someone I mean our government’s bad enough and the Scottish government’s out of the Irish government’s out of control they’re all talking about I mean the Irish
Government’s got a new hate crimes Bill where they’re talking about they can seize your phone if they suspect you might have some material that could potentially stir up hatred I mean for God’s sake what does that mean your phone’s full of that kind yeah the government knows that but um but you’re
You’re right but it has to do with a bigger picture which is Canada has sucked itself in on the big team worlds uh sorry I’m going to say it it’s big team world and what they’re what they’re doing this is not even a free speech issue this is just about silence ing uh
Disent against the Canadian government it has nothing to do with openness and talk whatever it’s like saying we don’t want these people to spread their you know opinion opinions dangerous opinions that’s what speech codes and hate speech laws always do GB news is the home of free speech we

Argument we are the people’s Channel we will always stand by the freedom to express yourself on TV radio and online this is GB news Britain’s News Channel big news big debates big opinion Patrick chrisy tonight is the week’s biggest sh every weekday 9: to 11:00 p.m. we’ve got
The inside track on the day’s top stories there’ll be sharp takes you won’t get anywhere else we will set the news agenda not just follow it and I want to bring you along for the ride whatever it is we’ll have our finger on the pulse it’s news but it’s this close
To entertainment Patrick Christy tonight 9: till 11:00 p.m. only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel 10:17 with britens news1 GP news with Andrew Pierce and B Turner we’re joining the studio now by former labor adviser Matthew lza and author broadcas em a wolf in the studio good morning to you both right let’s start with this uh Shakespeare week woke warnings yes I almost know what
Theory it’s almost as if it’s been written by sort of chat GPT uh for the culture wars so Shakespeare’s Globe uh has uh is offering on its on website for people who go to book tickets for plays like Richard I third The Comedy of Errors or The Taming of the Shrew it now
Has warnings uh over the content including misogynistic themes racism and offensive language violence and death I mean you think by the title of Taming of the sh you’d get the misogynistic thing and you think people might sort of have a vague clue CU these books have been around for 400
Years exactly but of course in the defense the globe would say Obviously there are people who don’t know Shakespeare people who come from different countries uh where Shakespeare may not be so a big part of the part of the dialogue I mean I think you’re not
Defending it are you I’m not I’m I’m I’ll defend it V when my mom died a few years ago I ended up seeing a play I didn’t sort of about two weeks later which is all about somebody’s mum die I could have done without that so I’m not
Totally against Tri shakesp no no it was a modern play so so I’m not against them totally I think with Shakespeare it’s a bit D but if it if you had a warning at the start of that play to say this story will involve the death of a mother would
You have got up and walked out no but if I’d read it beforehand I probably wouldn’t have bought a ticket you probably should have at that moment yeah you should I should have read about it more properly so it’s partly it was my fault you know I’m sorry I’m sorry about
Personal responsibility absolutely yeah so you know I’m not I’m just saying is it’s an isue you know but I think sort of you know people who go to The Taming of the shw might have a clue from the title that it’s perhaps not you know it’s not written on
American campus Circa 2024 and and it was a rather magnificent film with Liz Taylor absolutely and the Kiss Me Kate the musical as well yeah Emma which is coming back what does this tell us about the upcoming generation I just think this is genuinely sad I mean if this
Actually prevents any young people from going to any of these Shakespeare place look it’s a trigger warning hopefully schools and you know young people and general audiences will still go but I think this is really sad as an English literature graduate as a as a geek I
Think I learned a lot about love about father daughter relationships from King Leah love from Romeo and Juliet you know there are so many Shakespeare plays in which you actually learn about real life real emotions real feelings real difficult situations I don’t think I don’t agree with you about The Taming of
The Shrew I think it’s one of those titles you think what is that about because we don’t we’re not allowed women shrews anymore are we young people wouldn’t yeah would know the ter is the real deal you know this is this is life and this is why we have a generation of
Snowflakes who can’t deal with anything challenging or anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or upset or unhappy or challenged because they’ve been shielded and wrapped in Cotton W and you are a descendant of Virginia wolf that is who wrote about well Comm she committed suicide in the end but she
Wrote about look Orlando is the first transgender novel you know it’s a man who become sorry it’s a woman who becomes a man who becomes a woman again yeah so I just think what would she say what would she say to all this but also can we just
Deal with the fact that life isn’t easy and that life is full of really tough stuff not going to be an easy ride and you’re not going to be happy every day you think these people were Pro trying to protect these teenagers and students want this isn’t it just people thinking
That’s what’s best how have we got to a sit I think it’s people gold plating their warnings it’s people you know thinking that they’re they’re so petrified of causing offense that they feel they have to do this to to use that phrase they’re covering their you know
What is it litigation is it I litigation I think it’s just so the globe of course the glob well at the moment the globe is involved in a Big R because the artistic director uh uh is is going to play Richard III she’s an able-bodied actress
Actor um and she’s going to play Richard II third sorry to we talking of great leaders we got to go over to London where sque khah is launching his re-election campign it’s fantastic to join you all here today you know what they say you wait ages to hear from a labor
Politician that used to be a lawyer and then two come along at the same time but seriously I want to begin by thanking care for that kind and generous introduction I know how busy he is and I’m really grateful for him to co to come here this morning and to show
His support K is not only a colleague but as you’ve heard a good friend and someone I know will make a brilliant prime minister [Applause] so for everything he’s done for our party and for everything he’ll do for and can we also hear it for uh magnificent assembly candidate James
Small now I think Andrew could Andrew Pierce’s voodo doll appears to be working over that press conference I’m if that joke at the beginning was uh an omen of what was to come we were in for he needs a new gag riter that was not a
Funny joke I should be voting for sad but he needs a new gag riter I wouldn’t even mind if he ran London properly I mean I’ll put up with lame jokes like that and then foring over k stand each other they can’t stand each other how dare you say that Andrew
They’re United to win for Labor in London you know because because Kar St knows that the expansion of the ultral L Mission zone is unpopular and hated by a lot of workingclass Voters they did have a Big R about the ultra low Mission Zone in the context of the oxb byelection
Isn’t it interesting the way the Tories are suddenly going to challenge councils is there it’s almost like there’s an election come did you notice they’re going to challenge councils on on low traffic neighborhoods in 20 mph zones even though residents and businesses and Emergency Services have been shouting
About this for years even labor started to take them out La just Tak out the worst in the country the last three years were they one ambulance Authority has had 26 ft ambulance delays in three years because of low traffic neighborhoods which is supposed to be good for health look low traffic
Neighborhoods uh uh put in the wrong place at the wrong time uh we need common sense what you got to remember any local politician will tell you though you do get a lot of calls for traffic calming measures from local communities which ambulance uh and the police hate so it’s getting a
Balance but clearly there have been crazy cases and so at least my local Council has just taken one which is causing the longest bus delays out and how long did it take them to do that too long but they’ve done it and have they done it because there’s an election
Coming up in May uh I think they’ve done it because it was exposed as the longest as as causing the longest bus delays in the country in Lamberth in stret one of the lovely producers here um uh uh she’s she was telling me she was stuck on a
Bus for two hours in it and so um you know of course then the drivers won’t let you off yeah they’re not allowed absolutely yeah um we need to talk about the Princess of Wales she’s on the front page of the sun again today Emma what’s
Your take on this story now because I’ve oscillated between wanting them to be incredibly honest with us and just be straightforward what could they possibly be hiding now I’m starting to feel very sorry for her and I think we just need to leave her alone to my take has always
Been consistent I haven’t shifted at all I thought from the beginning what they said was happening was happening she gave us some details I don’t think it’s fair to demand further Det what part of your abdomen what part of this surgery la la la la la they were open same about
The cancer uh King Charles’s cancer they were open about the diagnosis they didn’t tell us which one okay they’ve said what will happen is that she will be in hospital for two weeks and then she will return to duties around April the 17th after Easter that’s what’s happening she released a photo everybody
Went for her I think it’s akin to bullying the way not now but the way she was treated a week ago when that photo came out and she had to on this program she issued that groveling apology and then put C at the end and I started to
Feel really sorry for her her just leave her alone yes she’s a public figure yes she’s a royal but this conspiracy theory is a completely nuts I mean she’s not dead she’s not in a coma leave her alone but in this vacuum of decent information this is where what’s the vacuum be
What’s the vacuum the vacuum she’s recovering from an operation she released a photo which was badly edited where’s the vacuum what more do you want I tell you what right now I think I don’t really need anything this is this is what I’m saying and and I’m open to
Say that if I think I see things differently now I do her generation we were talking about s cine it’s very unusual to have privacy about your body we’re living in a generation now where everybody’s very open about everything I mean Prince Charles came out King
Charles came out and told us about his prostate was very intimate detail and therefore by comparison her lack of detail is what has triggered the immense speculation surgery I think that’s fairly fairly detailed but I think if it’s well is it it could be no but do we
Need to know whether it’s gyne gynecological whether it’s gastro but why but why do you need to know that you use the word need why Emma people some I hear what you’re saying and I very sympathetic but a lot of people people genuinely love this woman
They she much iller and they just want reassurance that she’s not as ill as people think I think that’s true I mean the whole thing is of course you know one of the problems with having a royal family who become uh you know effectively sort of uh public fig for
The so popular and Global figures I think it’s a very hard balance I mean I just think that the photograph was such a silly a silly move that it’s just made everything it’s basically given the tabloids a license to do a bit of old school tabloid journalism you know which
Is what they want and as we’ve seen obviously the tabls have calmed down a lot over the last few years partly because their you know their sales have declined but also partly because of Regulation and and part you know things like Princess Di and Harry and all of
That uh uh but now this gives them an excuse to sort of say you know do a we Wally on where and also of course the photographic agencies were able to suddenly take the moral High Ground they loved that they don’t like control being taken out of
Their hands they don’t like to get these photos that haven’t necessarily come from official photographers that have been fiddled around with I think they felt it was overdramatic it was quite violent I know they use that term I know I mean we use it in journalism you know
You’re killing a story kill but the way it was issued in the context that was when I started to feel quite uncomfortable at B I’m being honest I’m quite robust I feel I feel uncomfortable now about the situation for the the use of the word manipulate I thought was
Also very emotive because you could have said edited yeah I think they used on the other hand with the original photo they could have invited in um you know an official photographer you know these things are on a pool one of the people from The Press Association Martin could
Have gone in um Andover from yeah I mean they could have didn’t want have to no but she’s recovering from Illness but she was able to pose for the photo with the kids she clearly didn’t do it I don’t quite know how she took the photo herself when she was she didn’t her
Husband took it oh sorry he took it didn’t she she she edited it and I think what happened is she took one look at William’s photograph said useless I do much better photograph leave it to me I mean you know I I I’m by Nature a skeptic and a cynic and I’m wondering
Whether she did actually do it herself or whether an incompetent person in the Press office she’s very gallantly taking the I think she did do it herself I think I think the I think she took it and went let me just do a bit of a
Filter on that like women do and then she started fiddling with it and thinking well I’ll move that I’ll move that I think it was botched but I mean the penitence the the little statement that had to issue it’s like we’re kind of punishing her and I think you know
You say there’s concern because people love her but I think that was the point she was trying to release a nice photo which she always does on Mother’s Day with the kids to reass and look what happen and it’s when concern can turns into slightly s creepiness doesn’t it in
Terms of like people feel they have a right to know everything about somebody and even a member of the RO family does have the right to privacy despite their you know public role and without her we’ve said it many times but without her I don’t know what the future of the
Royal family would look like she is there she is the Golden Goose that lays the eggs she is their best asset she never drops the ball no I think William and Kate are together going to give you hope that you know the next slot will be
It will be okay because you know Charles is is not not a well man and he’s not a particularly young man 7 is not so old these days actually he’s quite an old looking 75 he looks every bit of his age I think I think he’s looking surprisingly well I’ve seen you know
Elderly relatives die from die for be very poorly with cancer and I think he’s looking okay I think he’s I think he’s probably getting good treatment and with with the absence of Harry and Megan if William and Kate aren’t in the public ey we have a long time to wait for
Charlotte and George and Louie don’t we to step up so let’s hope she’s okay right thank you both keep your thoughts coming this morning gbvs atgb news.com still to come were you impacted by these uh technical meltdowns in supermarkets over the weekends it systems went down

Ships first we’re cutting your taxes your money is far better spent by you than by government so we’ve increased the vat threshold to 90,000 for the first time since 2017 we’ve taken two in five small businesses out of paying any employers National Insurance at all thanks to our employment allowance we’ve protected
Over 1 million small businesses from business rates increase taken a third out of paying any business rates whatsoever and introduced a Rel belief for retail hospitality and Leisure businesses that mean a small business in England will pay far less in business rates than you would in Wales or in
Scotland and we’re cutting National Insurance because we want to end the unfairness that you pay tax twice on income from work but income from other sources is only taxed once that’s why our long-term ambition is to simplify the system and end the double tax on work by abolishing Nick
Now we’ve already made good progress for the self-employed we’ve abolished class two Nicks and cut your main rate by a third saving a typical self-employed person around £650 a year and we’ve cut Nicks for 29 million workers by around £900 that’s a 20 billion pound tax cut
For the British people but we’re not done yet we’ll make more progress towards abolition in the next Parliament now our second step to help small business is to cut red tape since leaving the EU we’ve revoked or reformed more than 2,000 EU laws with 500 more coming this year delivering more than a
Billion of savings for businesses and customers but today we can go further we’re announcing a new simplification package expected to save small businesses around £150 million a year now take the rules that Define who can qualify as a small business it really matters cuz if you don’t qualify
Suddenly you’re hit with a load of extra paperwork but now we get to decide these definitions not the EU so we’re changing the rules to ensure that far fewer businesses are hit by these burdens we’re also tackling late payments with strict new rules that mean any company bidding for large government contracts
Must show that they pay their own invoices within 45 days and we’re also making it easier for you to hire apprentices apprenticeships benefit young people and the businesses who hire them but for smes the system can be expensive and confusing despite the huge progress so to ensure that funding is
Available whenever there is demand for apprenticeships we’re increasing the apprenticeship budget by £40 million and for small businesses hiring young apprentices we will now fund the cost of their training in full this will cut costs for businesses and training providers and support thousands more young people to start an
Apprentice now as well as cutting taxes and red tape our third step is to make it easier to get the finance you need to start grow or invest in your business for early stage businesses we’ve already made the tax reliefs on investment far more generous we’ve deployed hundreds of
Millions to the regional Angels program for larger companies we’ve committed 1.6 billion pounds into growth funds in every region of the country including 400 million right here in the Midlands as well as the billion pound startup loan scheme which has helped over a 100,000 businesses like Castor started
By two brothers in their parents’ Kitchen in the Whirl and now a multi-million pound sportsware company this is all about the government directly fing so that’s the Prime Minister he’s speaking warshire this is all about getting his campaign back onto the economy because um the budget sank
Without Trace well of course it sank without Trace because last week the Tory party spent all week talking about definitions of extremism if you want people to talk about the nation Insurance Cuts talk about it every day every day that’s what Blair did education education education uh if you
Say it often enough they think people will get it and also don’t talk about ncks prime minister we’re talking about nxs I hate it when people use acronyms which people don’t always understand National Insurance contributions fine but when you talk about Nicks at electon you just look like you’re talking to
Your corporate board members really it makes him sound geeky didn’t like his heart was in it did it and that is one of the criticisms uh yeah I mean this follows the poll Sun saying they’re 200 they’re going to lose by 250 seats they got to talk about the economy the
Economy the economy uh but you know when the press conference starts after as all they’re asking about is Penny yeah yeah right we got some views I was going to read them but we run out of time don’t go anywhere this is BR Newsroom on GB news back in a
Minute Headliners so tomorrow’s papers tonight every night from 11:00 p.m. is a debate on gender really a far-right issue far right I’m so bored of that phrase you know what I mean like anyone who talks about anyone who acknowledges that there are two Sexes is suddenly far right because that’s what that’s what
Hitler and musini were all about um this this question from Shirley is of course about Labor they’ve been accused of being undemocratic because they pressured a pub into canceling a debate and this debate features Kelly J Keane who’s been on this show a couple of times uh and she’s a campaigner and she
Was just on the panel and then they got a letter saying that they couldn’t do it because Kelly J Kean apparently attracts far right groups now they’ve tried this trick before but because some awful ghastly Neo-Nazi types turned up near to an event that she was holding in
Australia they kind of tried to blame that on her and suggest that the two were the same thing they weren’t that was an opportunistic group turning up to they’re not neonazis aren’t Pro feminist they’re not pro an event called let speak that’s just ridiculous New Zealand’s TV blurred her touching her
Zip because they said that her touching her zip was a far right uh dog whistle because she’s she’s making that symbol she wasn’t making the symb she just adjusting a zip also this isn’t a far rate symbol I that’s that was incredible because she obviously wasn’t making that
Symbol anyway she was just adjusting a top but this New Zealand uh News Channel blurred out the hand so that they could pretend that it was some horrible gas I mean she’s talked about having voted labor in the past she’s so not far right but also even if she were rightwing which she
Isn’t why would they be banning a panel where there’s a discussion about an one of the most important issues of our day what are labor playing out here because they’re anti-democratic aren’t they they’re just kind of playing whacka all with things they don’t like I think
Maybe I’ll write to the pub and say I do want to see Kelly J ke there yeah but they won’t listen to you say you’ve got the unfashionable opinion well on the unfashionable workplace I’m Christopher hope and I’m Gloria depierro bringing you pmqs live here on GB news whenever Parliament is
In session on a Wednesday at midday we’ll bring you live coverage of prime minister’s questions we’ll be asking our viewers and listeners to submit the questions that they would like to put to the Prime Minister and we’ll put that to our panel of top politicians in our Westminster Studio that’s pmqs live here
On GB news Britain’s election Channel I think the most exciting bit for me is talking to people people who I think are ignored Often by the major news channels we’re going to give news they want to hear there’s a voice there that needs to be heard I think there’s a
Chance here for a diversity of opinion to be expressed which you don’t find elsewhere it’s really exciting we don’t hold back we’re free to say how decisions that are taken here affect us all around the country only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel Very good morning 1040 thank you for joining us you’ve been getting in touch at home thank you so much about Margaret thater who is amongst a group of people in the Victorian album Museum in a Punch and Judy show and she’s ranked alongside AMA Bin Laden shocking and Hitler for
Contemporary baddies uh Jean says the best prime minister we ever had she rescued the country if only she was still here we would not have all these Dreadful problems how dare they desecrate her memory Peter says it’s obvious this nonsense was contrived by weak woke idiots they hate that show
It’s a cheap stunt lot of you saying that Jean another Jee she’d be turning in her grave she would not have let this country get as it is today she had a backbone but listen to what Brian says Thatcher was a villain she still hated in Scotland she tried to destroy
Scotland by shutting down coal steel P tax moving nuclear subs to devonport from rossite when there was no infrastructure for all Tory voters she also if you remember the tax was it was brought in as an experiment in Scotland which was incredibly incredibly uh and and and it didn’t go down well in
Scotland she then extended it to the rest of the UK Shakespeare about having to have trigger warnings on Shakespeare at the Globe Theater of all places John says all this wokery about uh not using trigger words to make sure we all stay happy is just TSH we were all able to
Get on and we’re happy before any wokery nonsense people just have to put up with being offended from time to time I always love that phrase you don’t give a offense you take offense and Judith says wokes want to try creating something worthwhile themselves instead of destroying what has gone before very
Good point and on Princess Kate Terry says leave Kate alone to get better Bob says for God’s sake leave the Royals alone Pat says if so many people care and love about the princess do the right thing and give her the Privacy she requested okay we have heard you we’ve
Heard you now we’re going to talk about um the Prime Minister speaking today the it’s the launch of the mayor or campaign by sadique Khan because the big story is is the prime minister’s job safe Olivia rutley uh um uh joins us now she’s our political correspondent Olivia um the
Prime Minister can Witter on as much as he likes about extra money for apprenticeships but the only interest at that speech when he talks to the Press afterwards will be is he going to be toppled in a coup by the leader of the commons Penny who is who wields a
Ceremonial sword better than anybody I know well very much that is the question on everyone’s lips in westmin at the moment there were all sorts of briefings and counter briefings over the weekend about whether Penny Morant is ready to usurp Rishi sunak after the May elections and before a general election
Now conservative MPS I’ve spoken to have previously said that the worst thing the party could possibly do would be to replace the Prime Minister before a general election the idea that a party can have four prime ministers in pretty much as many years uh was seen to be a
Very bad look indeed now a few of those MPS are beginning to say well hang on a minute uh Rishi sunak has managed to sort of steady the ship but he steadied the ship at the bottom of the ocean the conservatives are 20 points behind in
The polls and that budget a couple of weeks ago made absolutely no dent in that whatsoever there was no pole bounce at all so there are MPS now Whispering actually perhaps the worst thing we could do would be to stick with rishy sunak now why Penny Moran well it’s no
Secret that Penny Moran would like to be prime minister she was she put herself forward for the last leadership contest and she came in third place she is popular among Centrist in the conservative party and she is also beginning to get the backing of some right-wing MPS too previously the WR has
Been a bit skeptical about Moran because of her stance on trans right she stood up at the dispatch box and says that trans women are women now though they appear to be coming round to her and also Penny Morant has almost nothing to lose based on current polling she is set
To lose her seat at the next election so there is an argument that you know put her up last final roll of the dice and perhaps snatch Victory from the jaws of defeat that said you could end up in a situation where the Prime Minister and the leader of the conservative party
Ends up losing their seat in an election which arguably would be an even worse look than the situation that the conservative party is in at the moment so far publicly Penny Moran everyone around her is saying that it’s all nonsense and that uh rishy sunak will lead the party into a general election
But of course that’s what they all say you can’t set much store by those words and Olivia I’ve written about this in the mail today um people I spoke to around the cabinet said it’s very easy for Penny she can put a statement out saying I have full 100% supportting
The Prime Minister I do not give subscribe any support to this talk of a coup and a plot to unseat him no sign of that statement so far no sign of that statement so far there are rumors that when she stands up in the Commons on Thursday I think it is
For uh questions she will make a statement along those lines but as you say Andrew I mean no signs of that so far and of course it really is no secret that Penny Moran would like to be prime minister and there are plenty of fans around her who would very much like to
See her step into that position that conference speech she made about fighting back back in October really felt like a leadership bid and until she officially puts those uh whisperings to rest perhaps an statement in the Commons this week they will continue and perhaps that’s what she wants extraordinary
Thank you Olivia she does not get my vote let me tell you I think she’s a proper globalist Bill Gates fan girl I don’t like her I don’t trust her I would not vote for her I don’t think you’ve read her book I’ve forgotten what it’s
Called but I gutted it for the mail a couple years ago and she was running for the lead ship oh my God it’s at best Li them exactly there’s nothing to worry about it this idea that there are there are conser there are right-wing members of the party lining up to back her
That’s a bit whiffy to me they’re just because they’re desperate they just want to get rid of him and they think she might well they they’re going to lose their seat they think the the scale of defeat could be so bad that perhaps the only thing that could change things yeah
Is having a new leader not that one right up next let us know your thoughts but also why cash is King particularly why it was this weekend you’re with Britain’s Newsroom on GB news good morning welcome to your latest GB News weather forecast from the Met Office we’re looking ahead to today I
Think most of us should see some sunshine but unfortunately there is some further rain on the horizon but back to this morning we do have this band of cloud across more Central parts of the country some spots of rain in places too but either side there is some good
Amounts of sunshine and as we approach lunchtime especially across more Central parts of the country quite a decent lunch time to come plenty of sunshine into the afternoon that spreads its way a little bit further eastwards where further west for in cloud and outbreaks of rain approaching but a mild one
Temperatures reaching 17° in the Southeast so into the evening this area of rain spreads its way northeastward some heavy rain for a Time across parts of Scotland and Northern England the rain takes its time to get towards the southeast so actually parts of Kent East Anglia probably remaining dry till after
Dawn and for all of us it’s another mild night temperatures across the South not fully much lower than 10 or 11° so we do start Tuesday off on a rather gray and damp note for most of us still some rain working its way eastwards across the country it does
Improve a little bit across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland as the day goes on mixture of some bright spells and showers here that may well transfer it way towards Northern England as the afternoon goes on and for all of us another fairly mild day temperature a
Little bit down compared to today but still highs of 15 degrees in East Anglia join me CAM Tomy every Monday at 9:30 when I’ll be interviewing the key players in British politics and taking them to task this report basically says that he’s not fit to stand trial with an upcoming election looming over
Westminster now is the time for Clear honest answers I agree and that’s precisely what I’ll get is he indecisive incompetent that’s the Camila tomin show at 9:30 every Sunday on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s election Channel I’m Michelle jubber and I’m not here to tell you what to think I’d much
Rather hear what you have to say so send in your opinions to GB views at GB newws docomo here on jubes and Co we debate we get stuck into the issues of the day on a show where all views are welcome Especially Yours GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News
Channel 2024 a battle ground year the year the nation decides as the parties gear up their campaigns for the next general election who will be left standing when the British people make one of the biggest decisions of Their Lives who will rise and who will fall let’s find out together for every moment
The highs the lows the twists and turns we’ll be with you for every step of this journey in 2024 GB news is Britain’s election Channel Well if you were shopping at the weekend you don’t need me to tell you this s tesos and McDonald I don’t go to McDonald’s have all suffered major it meltdowns customers were left fuming and often it meant they couldn’t pay for their shopping unless they had cash
That’s right they’ve all said they were they were isolated technical issues could that be the case or is something more Sinister at play We’re joined our by security consultant James B good morning James um is it plausible that these were all isolated Tech issues or is there something a little more
Widespread going on here perfectly plausible that they were isolated Tech issues that someone deployed an update to a system and it broke things this happens all the time it’s just often not visible but does it does seem an extraordinary coincidence James McDonald’s first of all but then
St and Tesco probably two of our most famous High Street stores both both at the same time so there’s different ways that that could happen it could be three completely unrelated issues it could be that they’ve got the same development companies working on all of their systems because they won’t be doing all
Of that development inh housee and then a common fault could be deployed to all three without the proper action being taken particularly over the weekend when most of the tech support team will of course be at home on leave there’s all sorts of reasons that this could happen
To multiple companies at the same time and when you’re talking about systems at this sort of scale the smallest of tech faults can cause cascading failures that affect everyone James can you explain to us in layman’s terms what might have happened or whether you know what happened they’ve not released much in
The way of detail but if you imagine any of those times that you update your computer and it comes back with a blue screen of death or you update your phone and it crashes it’s that on a much much larger scale they’re all running the same software across the entire business
They may be running similar software across the three those will depend on different things but there will be some overlap anything that breaks one of those dependencies can affect at a massive scale so instead of just your laptop crashing it’s going to be every single system involved in in this case
Payment Processing I was going to say how often do could this happen again yes absolutely well companies are centralizing all of their systems they’re making them more and more efficient which people applaud but efficiency is not resilience if you centralize everything if you put it all in one place it becomes extremely
Fragile and any failures have much wider ranging consequences here’s the issue James you say it makes it more efficient makes it more efficient to the corporation and the shareholders it doesn’t make it more efficient to the customer who either doesn’t get their delivery shopping or has to stand in a
Queue or go and give get some cash or can’t buy their shopping the public it always feels in these Tech debates are not put at the center of these changes that’s largely right but one thing is the public do drive for more convenience so these more efficient systems are more convenient for people
And that is one of the drivers but it still makes it more fragile it still makes it more of a problem people need to stop saying I want to be able to use my loyalty card at all of these different shops I want to be able to use non sale checkout we
Don’t the data the data says that people do because that’s why these companies are doing it they think they can make more profit that way I don’t have to agree with this and I don’t but the evidence shows they make more money that way and that’s the driver for them so
When you say the data show so this is customers like me and Andrew who’ve been apparently questioned on our feelings about moving towards a very digital centralized based system now I’m guessing that those those um surveys are paid for by the companies who want to find a certain
Answer most certainly just like every other opinion poll out there but the money keeps going up and that’s what they’re paying attention to and it’s do you feel though James I know this is your area of specialization and and so you may feel differently to me but I
Feel like all of these changes came in so quickly I don’t feel we’ve ever had a discussion as the British public as to whether we want it we never do with these s of changes they just happen I mean we’re seeing it again now we’ve not got used to the last
Set and now we’re having to deal with all of the transformation that AI is bringing or rather is forcing on people okay James B will have you back another day you did not live up to your name that was fascinating and I always go to the checkout I know you do with your
Checkbook see you in a minute a brighter Outlook with box solar sponsors of weather on GB news hi there welcome to the GB news forecast from the Met Office there will be some further rain this week but for the time being it is dry for many this Monday with some Sunny spells and

The cloud breaks up into the afternoon we will get some Sunny spells and it will feel rather Pleasant with temperatures up to 17 or 18 Cel in the Southeast mid teens generally elsewhere but in Northern Ireland already the rain arrives by the end of the afternoon that rain pushing into Western Scotland
Western fringes of England into Wales as well the wind picking up Gales for the exposed parts of Western Scotland and that rain pushes through the country overnight with it tending to fizzle out by the time it gets to East Anglia in the Southeast not rain here otherwise cloudy Breezy and with those outbreaks
Of rain it’s going to be a mild start to Tuesday some places 10 Celsius first thing the rain soon enough clears eastwards replaced by showers into the afternoon those showers could affect just about anywhere but most likely across central parts of the UK away from the showers still some warm sunny spells

Uh existential issues of the party and I think that it’s really important that people like me continue to tell the public about the jobs that we are doing and how we are making their lives better and that’s what I’m here to do today meanwhile the Prime Minister has
Announced plans to create 20,000 new apprenticeships rishy sunak has pledged 60 million over new investment to cover a series of reforms including fully funding training for young people and cutting red tape for small businesses labor says after 14 years of Tory economic failure small firms were finding things harder and harder but Mr
Sunak says the government is taking action and will pay the full cost of apprenticeships for people aged 21 or under at small firms from the first of April apprenticeships benefit young people and the businesses who hire them but for smmes the system can be expensive and confusing despite the huge
Progress so to ensure that funding is available whenever there is demand for apprenticeships we’re increasing the apprenticeship budget by £40 million and for small businesses hiring young apprentices we will now fund the cost of their training in full this will cut costs for businesses and training providers and support thousands more young people

Election well joining us now his former labor adviser Mike Bley good morning Mike well if you were um advising the Prime Minister this morning uh would you be advising him to uh step aside and let Penny Morant uh take that uh mantle metaphorically and literally speaking in this case into the next
Election there’s zero chance of that happening R soon out this morning is in the middle of trying to have a relaunch by talking up the economy and making announcements as he just showed on apprenticeships and other things of that nature as well which I suspect will make
Zero difference to the polls because as we all know the polls haven’t really moved significantly since there trust was prime minister the public seem to have made up their mind quite a long time ago that they want to change a government or the majority and that’s what in Ry sux mind as we
Move forward at this point the noise is off in his party he’s obviously trying to quell those and obviously this this weekend story has been about Penny Moren she of course has distanced herself from those stories and the odity in all of this is that when Penny Warden stood for
The leadership of the conservative party the year before last um she was doing so by presenting herself as part of the sort of moderate center of the conservative party so the fact that you’ve got right-wing conservatives putting up clearly without her own knowledge or assumingly without her own
Knowledge as a potential stalking horse to RI sunak is is odd and I think she is seeing that this is this you know this could be from the right Wingers in her party a move to make things more difficult for her in the future rather than rather than easier to become leader
Of the conservative party so it’s very odd but no if I was advising R soon that I mean I would just tell to call a general election because the public wants new government and Mike I mean we talk about the people like Penny Moore in the Westminster bubble we know who
She is I’ve known her for many years if you took her photographed to outside this studio in North London or where my family brought in Swindon or where um your part of manchest where you do you think would anybody know who Penny Morton is no I did see some polling on
This I think over the weekend and the vast majority of the public have no clue who she is in fact they don’t know who who the other potential leadership contenders are so people likes KY bonox braan uh most of the probably don’t really know who these people are partly
Because there been understandably most people got more important things to do with their lives than worry about who’s who in the cabinet or the shadow cabinet the same on the labor side people know who G St is and who rual Reeves is but beyond that there isn’t that much depth
Of knowledge in terms of who the key players are on either side that that apathy really what you’re describing there Mike that kind of voter disconnect from Westminster politics it’s going to be a huge issue I think at the next election who is it going to benefit the most do you think
I mean just to say this isn’t a new thing the public tend to not have an encyclopedic knowledge of who’s who in the cabinet and that hasn’t changed I think what has changed this has going back a long time you know right back to the um the expenses scandle back in 2009
There’s been this inexorable loss of trust in politics and that’s something that all politicians on all sides certainly need to to deal with and if labor does win the next election it seems likely they will need to to deal with but that was of course made a lot
Worse by the fact that Boris Johnson was just such an inveterate liar um public really really did you know get a handle on that and that has been one thing that has pushed you know trust I think unprecedented lows but in terms of how that will impact the next election and
Who that will benefit that seems most likely to benefit labor I would imagine partly because you look at the divide in the polls you know labor is a consistent 20 points ahead and if if turnout is down across the bo that that surely would only help labor talking of trust
Now you might say I’m sure you would say that we can trust the labor party but how can we trust anybody that wants to ban a media Outlet uh the Welsh Parliament at the Senate spent quarter of a million pounds of taxpayers money to install technology which would mean
That people couldn’t watch GB news in Welsh Parliament that is not the sign of a potential government that would like us to understand all sides stay with because what we can do is we can just play you in case you missed it this is a clip of Michael fabricant Tor MP who
Raised this issue in the in the Commons last week at wor questions is my right honorable friend aware that the Senate has now decided to ban GB news what’s his policy on that well Mr Speaker Mr Speaker there may be a there may be a small saving in
Electricity uh uh by doing that but I think it’s it’s very disappointing that the Welsh labor government are preventing a perfectly legitimate Viewpoint from being heard by members of the Senate who who would do well to listen to people who don’t always agree with with everything they say quite
Right he’s right isn’t he well I me I think there’s a disconnect here so the Welsh government’s lying on the 223 million is they didn’t spend 223 million to BBS which would be ludicrous let’s face it but they were upgrading their audio visual system which cost 200 23
Million at at the same time as which they ban G GB news just by pressing a button to ban the feed now they did that at least temporarily because of the comments that were made last year I think it was last year wasn’t it by Lawrence Fox and Dan wter give me
Strength long time ago oh give me strength those two presenters aren’t here anyway they aren’t here anymore at this Channel and the idea that a group of politicians would be so upset by the comments of two people on a channel that they would ban a whole output of of political debate is
Disturbing their lying is that those comments as GB used In fairness recognize which is why those those presenters are not there anymore that those comments were on principal and their L is that they want to protect their staff and so not have them exposed to the potential for that that to be
Revisited I the staff just don’t have to turn you can just turn off the channel they don’t have to have GB news on in the Welsh Parliament they can just watch an alternative’ be missing out there are other points and this is and this not
For me to tell GB news um bosses what to do of course but there are other point is that GB news is under investigation by ofcom for for a number of other issues so it would seem to me that if GB news wants to be back on the TV and the
Welch Senate then it should do what it can to make sure that it’s compliant with ofcom regulations that is so chilling that kind of mindset makes my blood run cold and if that is a glimpse of a incoming labor government I think we should all be really scared because
What you effectively saying is that individuals can’t make their own decisions about what they do consume and if they do consume it whether they are influenced by it in no way am I speaking on behalf of the labor party I’m giving you my opinion so so don’t don’t take this as anything
Fa but M but M you do say as well just because an organization is being investigated doesn’t mean it’s done anything wrong no no it doesn’t but I think basically the sen line is as long as those um that investigation is get ongoing they they are not going to puts back it
Was was the labor first Minister this was Mark dford wasn’t it the labor first Minister Mike this was Mark dford who’s just stood down as labor first Minister who hates GB news who hates the party showing his true political govern and it’s an abuse of power I mean I would encourage you to
Get somebody on from the wel do Bill give we tried a much clearer opinion than I can I’m in I’m in Sheffield I’m not in Wales I I cannot speak for the Welsh Smith you know you tried it that it’s um I think it’s extraordinary I sorry go on Mike I was
Just gonna say from their perspective given the comments that were made by lawence Fox which as you say he’s no longer there I mean Fair Point they found that you know very very difficult to deal with and they didn’t want to have just have their staff working around TV where GB news is
Coming out this speaker I I do understand that and given the um investigations that are going mean hopefully GB well we’ll see if GB news is cleared or not and at that point the government May revisit the decision that they made at any point every media organization is being investigated in
Some shape or form by ofcom they hav the BBC yet well the BBC aren’t subject to the same ofcom they they have internal investigations don’t they yeah I mean one of the things that I think has you know set people’s backs up and certainly this is something that people say to me
Is the fact that you you’ve had a number of shows where you’ve had a conservative MP being being interviewed by another conservative MP there is no sense in which that is impartial you know communication and that isn’t done on other channels so I mean again it’s not for me to criticize your television
Channel but it may be that you decide you don’t want to do things like that in the future I would thank you I would push back on that I think that particular was when Esa McVey and um her husband were interviewing was it Boris John Philip interviewing Boris Davis
Anyway Boris Johnson um and yeah I think in those situations this channel would take a position on that but as far as I know and listen we work here we’ve strive for balance we strive why why we love having you Mike and we are a broad church and we will welcome
Anyone with any left voice at any time and we take that responsibility very seriously if the new first minister of Wales would like to come on we’d love to speak to him anytime thank you Mike you can fix it up Mike I would suggest you invite him all right we’re g invite him
We will thank you very much for coming on That’s Mike Buckley um interesting so because the ofcom is investigating that’s a good reason to close something down aming right um we need to warn you I’m about to say some triggering words now sit down widows apparently that
Might have upset a lot of you I imagine if you’re a widow you’re probably tougher than that you won’t be upset about that at all don’t go anywhere we’ll explain why that might be offensive you’re with Britain’s News Room on GB News GB news breakfast every day from 6: a.m. absenteeism and parents whose children miss a week or more of school face increased fines in a government drive to tackle absence this is another one of those government policies which has done nothing to improve the education of our children in fact since
This was originally introduced some 10 years ago the educational standards for our children the 11y olds who can’t read when they go up to Primary School have got worse and worse and worse so it’s not working so what do they do they just increase the fine like that may make it
Work most of the parents who get fined are taking their kids out so they can take them on a holiday before the holiday companies push the prices up and frankly as a parent if I’ve got a £600 discount on my holiday versus a60 fine h
I’m going to go for the 60 suff fine let’s not forget the other huge absence that children had uh recently during Co schools were closed for months and months on end online learning was really not making up for that so how could you know it’s very difficult for the
Government to say it was fine for us to take your kids out of school for for months but if you take them off for a few days to go to Disneyland then you are the worst parent ever and you should but also it’s the pandemic that that caused some of the problems with
Absenteeism now because the mental health issues that some of these children now have and there are tens of thousands of children they call them ghost children that have simply disappeared from the school register so it would be nice it’s it’s really really scary situation um I’m not seeing that
The government is you know taking great measures well I think one of their plans is to have a national register which which would help with that which would definitely help but I think it’s it’s almost it’s you can’t they can’t deal with the real problem so they’re going
After actually perfectly you know decent parents who are just taking the odd day off you know for to save money frankly big news big debates big opinion Patrick Chris’s tonight is the week’s biggest sh every weekday 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. we’ve got the inside track on the day’s top stories there’ll be sharp
Takes you won’t get anywhere else we will set the news agenda not just follow it and I want to bring you along for the ride whatever it is we’ll have our finger on the pulse it’s news but it’s this close to entertainment Patrick chrisy tonight 9: till 11:00 p.m. only
On GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel I’m Michelle jub and I’m not here to tell you what to think I’d much rather hear what you have to say Sir send in your opinions to GB views GB newws keep them clean and you never know
I might read them out with my panel here on jubes and Co we debate we get stuck into the issues of the day on a show where All Views are welcome Especially Yours GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel 1120 with Britain news and GV news with Andrew Pierce and be Turner
We’ve got the panel back with us Matthew lza ex labor party and Emma of course writer and broadcaster Thatcher are you going to defend your mate well my mate my mate trist hunt hisian uh so trist hunt who is the ex labor um MP and Shadow Cabinet member and briefly Run
For the leadership uh it does yeah there we go that’s why you’ve got me here to remember the show of the L party basically the VNA Museum have got an A Sort of display about Punch and Judy so this is a stor in AO because I’m going
To defend them to this extent so what they’ve done said that the the that that they’ve listed um people who have been used in uh Punch and Judy puppets as as the bad guy or the bad person we should say contemporary villains a contemporary villains that’s the Posh
Phrase you see they’re much posher than me at the VNA so they so they described a list of contemporary villains which included Osama Bin Laden Adolf Hitler and then Mrs thater so it’s clumsily phrased because Mrs thater is obviously in no way comparable to S bin ladin or
Adolf Hitler but she was very controversial and you know you and I Andrew are old enough to remember when she was you know the villain in Punch and Judy or villain in pantomimes or um in spting image hearing that ama Bin Laden was a prop in a punch in I’m not
Sure that or adult yeah so so I think theyve they’ve I defend them to the extent that it legitimate to say that she was controversial and that some people regarded her as a villain it’s clumsy phrase and I wouldn’t have put up an exra S bin lad it would have been a
Time when Hitler was the baddy because of course there was a time postwar when he would have been and if you watch old black and white films are kind of like you know him I think they actually have seen Hitler in a punch people weren’t offended in the same way then Emma they
Took it as he was an an evil man yeah but can we just be clear Maggie Thatcher whatever you think of her politics was democratically elected to compare her to or to put her alongside Mass murderers such as Adolf Hitler and Bin Laden is absolutely ludicrous it’s offensive let’s be clear
Let’s be clear the VNA get Public Funding 10 million what on Earth is this museums get out of politics I don’t want this absolutely not I don’t care whether it’s Tristram H and let’s not forget the VNA rejected the opportunity to have a display of Margaret thatchers um outfit
She wore which which was wrong they should done because they were absolutely iconic and if you a design Museum again it was pure political and you were saying ear you ask P poer earlier what did Mrs thata have well one of the things she had was a very clear style
Which was part of her political personality um and she used that I mean remember the image on the tank that list trust recreated so um I think it’s ill phrased I think it’s perfectly legitimate to say that Mrs thater was controversial and weed she would be absolutely controvers exactly but I
Would not have put her alongside uh those two evil men no he’s ridiculous um right should we talk about Lloyd’s bank and the fact that we can’t use the word widows before we do let me let me tell you we reaching Peak exasperation let me tell you what some
Of our viewers have said about this this is Lloyd’s bank had a brainstorming with some Millennials I’m presuming the office that was no no it was a virtual whiteboard they didn’t have to go into the office for it it’s a virtual white board where you do but listen to this
Barbara has said I am a widow I miss my husband more than I can say there are many things remind me he’s no longer here but hearing the words Scottish Widow is not going to make me burst into tears it seems that every day we hear something more crazy than the day before
There’s lots of women getting in touch Emma and be saying don’t patronize me I’ve lost my husband do you think I’m going to be upset by this word exactly you’ve already been through the very worst that life can throw at you and anyway I know people who say I’ve
Actually embraced the term Widow that is what I am I have lost my husband correct you know like people could be a gayy I mean there all sorts of terms that we use why would the word Widow be offensive to and I think what you said about young people is interesting
Because I wonder how many widows were actually in the group I suspect it was sort of 25 year olds wondering what sort of sort of racking their brains on on to to to to that’s the point I make you these wretched decisions vot decisions are made by people who think this is
What well of course it was in a brainstorming session but you can’t say brainstorming anymore involved you know you have to say mind epilepsy you have to say mind map or thought shower not serious I’m totally serious it’s bound a thought shower but I meaner the only
Parallel I think is a term like spinster which is used which has been used which some some single women don’t mind but it has been used as sort of derogatory to women to middle-aged women’s spincer that kind of thing I think Widow has ever been anything but a description of
And it’s also a technical term widow’s pension and um is an actual WID isual is the other one the phrase guinea pigs meaning the first to test out an idea may not be inclusive of vegan colleagues someone who’s pretty much vegan the phrase guinea pig I mean I
Don’t Guinea P do you think of dinner I mean is that what they’re getting at the people yeah I mean I mean I mean look and actually what worries me about this is let’s be serious for a second you know you know we remember offensive language that was that was that was
That’s been used in the past and there are rightly terms that we do not use anymore so actually thinking about language is totally valid but when you get to the DAR stage of saying you’re saying somebody’s a you know a guinea pig as an idea is going to offend vegan
Colleagues then you’re bringing to disrepute the very concept of being careful with language and people be free to go back point out it is a delicacy in Peru but we don’t live in Peru um exactly so what what exactly what I’m saying is is that is is it’s sort of
It’s basically the boy you know the boy who cried wolf there’s a more chilling element to this story as well actually because this is a guide a style guide that the bank has come up with and it says um you may agree with some terms and disagree with other says that’s okay
You don’t have to adopt the Alternatives though do explore why we recommend doing so and the urgency with which they are suggested that Emma is the bit that I hate because that is not giving clear guidelines and so you’ve got all these youngsters who are like well I want to
Do the right thing and I want to say the right thing but they’re telling me that I don’t have to and so there in lies this awful thought police I mean without clear what you want but I find the thought police more chilling than that I
Find the double and the double spe when we are looking at something we’re looking at a woman and we’re being told that’s a man you have to say that it’s that that really worries me about our current culture is the is the thought police this sort of orwellian thing
Where everybody can see the sense in it and you’re being told this is not the case we’ve got to defend lawyers we they this they’ve given a statement of course and they’ve said we continually look for ways to enable our colleagues to engage debate and be collaborative great the
Voluntary inclusivity tool is designed to be a self ated way for colleagues to explore how people may feel about different words and phrases as his part of the course when crowd sourcing for ideas some are better than but I don’t I don’t think people sourcing not brainstorming garbage I don’t think we
Have a mass sort of people being referred to as widows I don’t think most people the other thing is they said where does this come from they’ve said they’re not going to get rid of the term Scottish widows for the company for their because it’s been a very
Successful campaign and know they the ads and the ads are very iconic I’ve got this image you know how the uh you know how sometimes people people an asteris in the middle of sex because because email blockers you know even if they’re talking innocently about it because
Email blockers I’ve got this image now that every every email in Lloyd which has got the word Scottish widows in is going to be blocked because it’s a now a band word yeah it’s really disturbing and it is because what will happen is this what it does is it divides people
And they’ll be people like my young son going into the workplace walking on landmines shell thing that I hate to be kind and wanting to not upset and not offend anyone and why do we have to feel frightened about talking to other people gu is genius gen so and it makes you
Actually want to use these words all the more it makes you angry about any kind of any kind of as Matthew we’re talking about Penny Mor remember when she she she once got a rude word in a speech didn’t she as a bet you’re going to get
Guinea pigs in every time you can well but pending more of pregnant people fam of course can we just take this conversation to another level I’m so sorry viewers and listeners but this is thematically the same this is the this is the artist being investigated by the police is outrageous is outrageous and
This is where our joking about language becomes do you know what this woman on this story yes so an artist was chatting to a college she was setting up an exhibition at a museum in Watford she was chatting to a colleague over a cup of tea while she’s setting up the
Exhibition she said she believed that allowing children and young people to change to change their sex is harmful which I agree with yes she she said that the Tavo the gender identity uh development service should be shut down it should be we know we will look back
On these years it’s being Clos we will look back on these years and think what did we do to our children so for that she is not allowed to attend her own exhibition without giving them 24 hours notice so a woman who’s expressing perfectly private private views about
Something that I believe is an absolute Scandal she’s being being sanctioned for that she’s being punished for that and she’s been banned by the local Council Li D controlled yes it’s going to say it’s not a labor Council I mean hopefully Common Sense will fail because artistic expression is there whether you
Agree with it or disagree with it people should be allowed to express their views and then it’s to start a debate can that be a hate crime having a convers I don’t think I don’t think you can I be and you all three of espe they’re not Banning
The yeah they’re not Banning the exhibition they’re banning the artist giving huge publicity to her exhibition locally in Watford I Watford flock to the exhibition cult is her name it’s the idea that you could be saying something to someone about what you believe that isn’t offensive or harmful but it’s it’s
A genuine Bel person who snitched on it someone report on if somebody if this happened in Reverse if somebody on the right tried to get an artist band whose exhibition wasn’t say about the the C the conflict but he’ said something that was you know anti-israeli or something
And and the the right powered on to try and ban them then you would see the left would be oh no it’s it’s Breaking Free Speech so I would say to people on my side of politics you’ve got to allow a, flowers to bloom you got to allow people
To get their voice out of there and then take them on in debate if you disagree it’s apping well we have to quieten your voice just for now we’ve got to move on we got to go to an up break thank you Emma thank you Matthew still to come how
Do you solve a problem like GB news that was the name of an event hosted by the so-called media reform Coalition the media democracy Festival I’m not joking well we gay crashed it that and much more after this morning’s news with sfia Winsler be thank you it’s 11:31 I’m Sophia winsler in the GB Newsroom your headlines the Prime Minister has urged his party to stick to the plan as speculation mounts over a leadership challenge rishy sunak told backbenchers that the economy is turning a corner and pleaded for them to hold their nerve he
Was forced to speak out yesterday after rumors suggested right-wing Tories were lining up Penny Moran to replace him business and trade secretary kemy badok insisted that the majority of the conservative party is United though meanwhile rashy sunak has announced plans for 20,000 new apprenticeships the Prime Minister has pledged 60 million
Pounds of new investment to cover a series of reforms including fully funding training for young people and cutting red tape for small businesses the government will pay the full cost of apprenticeships for people aged 21 or under at small firms from the 1st of April Britain’s most successful female

Sponsors the GB news financial report good right good afternoon welcome back Emily and Tom will be here in just a moment for good afternoon Britain what’s on the show today guys well the sharks are circling rishy sunak but the real question is will they bite because fundamentally we’ve seen what is it the
Sixth or 7th relaunch of Rishi zunac this morning I’m not sure that this apprenti apprenticeships pledge even if I could say it um is going to be the game changer for Rishi sunak but the question is what will be the sort of crunch point and it’s all looking
Forward to those local elections May if they if May thei goes as badly as people think could there then be a move and of course it’s not just sharks inside the conservative party there are sharks outside the conservative party all this rumor about a return of Nigel farage to
Politics with that report over the weekend suggesting that possibly if he were to lead reform they could Leap Frog the conservatives into second place and sunak allies warning in the papers too that uh you know don’t oust him we’ll call an election immediately and you could lose your seats guys so calm down
But he says this is going to be a bounce back year we shall see well I was intrigued also by the report about Nigel frage suggesting he could become a trade Envoy for president Trump so this is the calculation for Nigel does he want to spend the next eight months walking from
Rainy town to miserable doorstep and trudging the streets to then lead a band of a handful of members of parliament on the back benches not having much of a say or does he want to fly around on Air Force One going from the sunny climbs of
Malibu to wherever else you put it like that Tom he does also have to show for GB news at 7:00 every night I do that course also he’s not leader reform that is Richard Tyson that is that is There’s No Vacancy you might say he might very
Well say that and I always I think Richard tyon would stand aside do you think so yes I don’t think he would Richard Tyson is a very good media performer he’s a solid uh sort of presence there but he just doesn’t have the same name recognition no if you do
No um well all that and more thank you both uh we it’s flying by today isn’t it it’s that Monday Fe with Britain’s News Room on GB news don’t go Anywhere this is GB news Britain’s News Channel now I’m sure you have seen this video that went viral this week and if you haven’t well I think you’re going to enjoy it this is a firefighter leaning on a fence whilst watching a trapped driving instructor’s car sink in 4 feet
Of flood water looks very comfortable there doesn’t he just leaning against the just chilling just relaxing uh yeah there were two uh so there were in fact two S6 far and rescue crews an ambulance and a police car parks near the sinking vehicle but they wouldn’t enter the
Water because they had to wait for specialist Crews who were trained for the water depth oh well two people who weren’t going to sit back and watch were these two Jack and Danielle price who took it upon themselves to rescue the submerged driver and Danielle joins us
Now very good morning to you Danielle and you are a hero an absolute hero what happened in this video makes sense of it for us so we were filming in the area for our YouTube channel and we’ve seen the fire brigade come through I was actually out at o00 in the morning with
My husband Jamie we we know it always happens there as you can see um and it was clear we’ve seen the fiberg come through we followed them and they’re just standing around as if nothing’s happened um in the clip it says um he’s fine he’s he’s he’s on his phone um and
Then s of walked away but what they failed to realize is when my partner actually opened the door as you can hear he’s on the phone to the the the S of the emergency crew in panic thinking he’s going to sink um so we could not just sit there and watch um he’s
Absolutely terrified yeah poor bloke well done you do you reckon this is health and safety gone mad it is because although I do sympathize with them they are so red taped but surely sort of Common Sense has to kick in as open the door from 10: a.m. every Saturday we

Morning nice and restful only on GB news Britain’s News Channel every Sunday from 11: join Michael Portillo there will be topical discussion look at the week before and the week to come so kick back and relax at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays on GB news with me Michael Portillo GB News the people
Channel Britain’s News Channel I’m Andrew Doyle join me at 7:00 every Sunday night for free speech Nation the show I tackle the week’s biggest stories in politics and current affairs with the help of my two comedian panelists and a variety of special guests Free Speech Nation Sunday nights from 7 on GB news
The people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel 11:38 you’re with britsh news when GB news Andrew Pierce and P Turner so how do we solve a problem like GB news that was the name of an event hosted by the so-called media reform Coalition at Sheffield University over the weekend well our reporter Charlie Peters went to
Long despite not getting an inite in fact he gate crashed it and he’s here so let’s hear what he had to say there it is this room is mostly empty but GB news yesterday beat sky and the BBC in breakfast last week it was Britain’s number one’s news channel on at least
One day we beat scy news on four other days F you said I mean there’s a place for this this broadcast so there’s a place for this platform people are tuning in because they are being ignored by other people so that is what GB news do we don’t mind having a difficult
Conversations well done Charlie Peters I’m so pleased half empty well that’s the point I mean it was a mostly empty room and the support for these ideas for solving a problem to even frame our Channel as a problem that needs to be solved it just goes to show the audience
And the demand for that perspective I think is actually quite limited on the ground well in my experience whenever I take people on with this issue and I do it a lot in private and public they tend to back down quite quickly and they don’t really have an awful lot to say
They’ve just kind of read a few headlines and they don’t really watch the channel was that your take from that day well when I spoke at the end they asked me why didn’t you come and join the panel why didn’t you say who you were at the start instead of you know
Sitting at the back and listening in but I actually I wanted to hear what they’d say as if I wasn’t there as if GB news weren’t in the room so they could speak honestly freely and in doing so they said some rather loopy things I mean
Some one of the people on the panel said I can’t bear to watch GB news but you’re on a panel trying to solve it you know another person referred to the rise of far right and saying this is fueling it I mean some of the comments we heard I
Mean another person on the panel said that JK rling was denying the Holocaust in recent commentary really quite loopy stuff really I mean I think we put on alternative viewpoints that really pushes the line quite some way and and I may reference the fact um afterwards
When speaking to the panelist that a lot of them had shared information online of course I looked through all their social media profiles for I attended they’d shared information from sources that certainly lacked impartiality and I’d say quite a lot of good sourcing for their claims as well they say why didn’t
You introduce some and join the panel why didn’t they invite GB news on the panel in the first place well GB news has no record of an invite from management um they said they reached out to presenters uh I certainly didn’t receive no i’ have hot footed any excuse
To for me but I think a great part of it was just listening and see what they’d say and challenge that claim and I also let all the audience speak I wanted to ask the final questions so I could let everyone speak honestly and truly and
And the question before me I’d say it it wasn’t really much of a question more of an intervention the chap said let’s be honest this is a fascist News Network this is fueling fascism in Britain and you know credit get appla it didn’t what did get applause was Michael Crick
Saying he wanted to shut us down that he had called for us to be shut down even though he’s regularly on this channel and he was challenged by the uh the hosts why do you appear on a channel and you want to take off air and he said
Well it’s important to put alternative viewpoints on it well that’s the whole point Michael the whole point did he explain why he wants to close this down uh he he said it was due to in his perception a lack of impartiality but you know I’ve always said and I think GB
News has always said this is a non-bias serious Channel which takes issues seriously and goes and speaks to people where they’re otherwise not heard and not spoken to and covers issues that the rest of the media don’t want to cover and and and so much of what they were
Raising yesterday wasn’t just about shutting us down those who were more generous towards us were doing something what I think was a bit more pernicious and a bit more dangerous which was to say that what we do engages in tropes and conspiracy theories and that kind of language is actually potentially more
Censorious and more about shutting us down than calling for any regulator to do anything because that says that you can’t your work is not legitimate it’s hateful that is way more about who funds these Jokers Charlie do we know anything about that well there’s certainly not a
Lot of ground support for the group andlike many of these leftwing Coalition organizations they do get significant funding from charitable organizations you all have heard conservative ministers over the years referring to the blob it’s always worth remembering that a lot of these organizations would not exist without significant funding
From Charities when it comes to people actually donating and keeping these organizations going that’s not always necessarily how it works and once you take away that they kind of fall apart and as I saw the room was mostly empty and and you know what the people in that
Room and the people who organized that event are thinking they’re thinking that you at home don’t know better they’re thinking that at home listening and watching this channel don’t know what you want to hear and you want to see and that we should not be here because you
Are stupid that’s their conclusion and that’s what makes my blood boil Charlie thank you so much well done for getting in there thank you Charlie pieces did they Frisk you well they actually very polite I mean they were a bit concerned that I was out the I there was some G
Some Shock and I got heckled a bit but you know I mean they are good for us they’re just cowards come and talk to us we will be nice to you I promise right still to come Kate’s been spotted out and about that’s the Princess of Wales will it be the start
Of her return possibly with Britain’s News Room on GB news good morning welcome to your latest GB News weather forecast from the Met Office we’re looking ahead to today I think most of us should see some Son shine but unfortunately there is some further rain on the horizon but back to
This morning we do have this band of cloud across more Central parts of the country some spots of rain in places too but either side there is some good amounts of sunshine and as we approach lunchtime especially across more Central parts of the country quite a decent lunchtime to come plenty of sunshine
Into the afternoon that spreads its way a little bit further eastwards where further west thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain approaching but a mild one temperatures reaching 17° in the Southeast so into the evening this area of rain spreads its way northeastward some heavy rain for a Time across parts
Of Scotland and Northern England the rain takes its time to get towards the southeast so actually parts of Kent East Anglia probably remaining dry till after Dawn and for all of us it’s another mild night temperatures across the South not fully much lower than 10 or
11° so we do start Tuesday off on a rather gray and damp note for most of us still some rain work working its way eastwards across the country it does improve a little bit across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland as the day goes on mixture of some bright spells
And showers here that may well transfer it way towards Northern England as the afternoon goes on and for all of us another fairly mild day temperature a little bit down compared to today but still highs of 15° in East Anglia I’m Christopher hope and I’m Gloria depierro bringing you pmqs live
Here on GB news whenever Parliament is in session on a Wednesday at midday we’ll bring you live coverage of prime minister’s questions we’ll be asking our viewers and listeners to submit the questions that they would like to put to the Prime Minister and we’ll put that to
Our panel of top politicians in our Westminster Studio that’s pmqs live here on GB news Britain’s election Channel I think the most exciting bit for me is talking to people people who I think are ignored Often by the major news channels we’re going to give news
They want to hear there’s a voice there that needs to be heard I think there’s a chance here for a diversity of opinion to be expressed which you don’t find elsewhere it’s really exciting we don’t hold back we’re free to say how decisions that are taken here a SE is
All around the country only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel join me Camila Tomy every Sunday at 9:30 when I’ll be interviewing the key players in British politics and taking them to task this report basically says that he’s not fit to stand trial with an upcoming election
Looming over Westminster now is the time for Clear honest answers I agree and that’s precisely what I’ll get is he indecisive incompetent that’s the Camila tomin show at 9:30 every Sunday on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s election Channel well here’s some cheery news the princess of well she’s been spotted out and about for the first time since her abdominal surgery she was seen by onlookers apparently visiting her favorite local Farm Shop we’ve all got them uh with her husband William no one’s got any pictures or if they have
We’re not seeing them she was described looking happy relaxed and healthy uh so our the Royal biographer ingred SE joins us now ingred morning to you curious there are no photographs cuz we know in this day and age everybody clicks away with their phones I wonder perhaps if
There’s perhaps been an agreement that um The Palace would prefer if no photographs were published or they may have even said to people on the day could you lay off the photographs I think they’re rather careful in that Farm Shop um certainly uh Royals have been reported as going
There and there’s never been any photos so I just imagine that that the the shop themselves they’re quite Grand I would think they’ probably say no photographs please um and you know that that’s fair enough if people are buying produ from them and that’s what they ask I’m
Guessing but it sounds a bit like that it might also be that they have the type of customer maybe who would be sufficiently polite and well-mannered to not take photographs with their mobile phones maybe if she’ popped down the local little it might have been slightly different maybe um ingred what um what
Does this tell us though you know I mean I know there’s been all this speculation about the the online rumors and the funny little and the more tragic desperate stuff I think underpinning all of that is a genuine concern that she’s okay this is a mom with three young
Children and I think the public just want to know that she’s all right do you think we’ve got any chance of having any kind of confirmation F the confirmation of that I don’t think we’ve got no I think I think the palace have probably done their bit and didn’t work out terribly
Well so I don’t think we we I don’t think we need any further confirmation of it quite H ly I mean we we think we’re going to see her at Easter we may see her but I think everyone especially letters you know to newspapers like the Daily Mail everyone’s saying just leave
The poor girl alone I don’t think we need any more information because I think more information we just start all the internet thing up again I I think just best left that would be my advice if I was in charge which of course I’m not I think the mistake therefore was to
Capit at to this clamor to need to see her and therefore release that picture on Mother’s Day maybe they should have just stayed with what they were going to do from the start which is to say you’ll see her after Easter and just bear with
Us yes but I think that Pro Kate always does release pictures on Mother’s Day so I think maybe she wanted to do that I I don’t suppose she’s going to want to do it again in a hurry but it’s not the first time they’ve released pictures and
She probably thought this will be the the moment to do it I mean a lot of mothers want to do that of them with their children so I think that’s quite understandable if I was putting money on it ingred I think we might even see it
Before the end of Easter because we know the royal family always gather for church on Easter Sunday the most important day in the Christian church I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her uh with the family uh on Easter Sunday which is of course next weekend yeah I
Agree with you totally I think that that would be the moment she’s just got to walk down uh from the castle to the church but actually she could even go in a car and be seen um but I’m sure if she’s wants to be seen she’d probably
Walk down with the children and it would be a very very good moment to do it if she’s up to it I think they’re probably leaving the whole thing open I think it’s rather emotionally she’s up to it more than whether physically she’s up to it you know ingred our inbox this
Morning has been full of viewers saying leave the poor girl alone it very much feels like public opinion now is that we will support the media if they do no more speculation absolutely I mean that that’s what that’s what most people are saying and I mean I don’t I don’t follow
All the stuff on so on social media you know all these strange stories I don’t follow them and of course Kate and William don’t follow them either because they’d be crazy they’re not like Harry who looks at everything that’s on the internet that’s right I mean they’re
Quite they take quite a sensible view to it I think okay ingred good to see you as always ingred SE there right we’ve heard a lot about this morning rumors that rightwing Tor MPS are plotting to replace rishy sunak with his former leadership rival Penny Morant while the
Prime Minister was asked about that this morning here he is I I’m not interested in all Westminster politics it doesn’t matter what matters is the future of our country and that’s what I’m squarely focused on that’s what I get up every morning working as hard as I can to
Deliver whether it’s cutting people’s taxes increasing the state pension today increasing the number of apprenticeships and talking to small businesses those are the other things that matter to people and as we’ve seen over the last few weeks our plan is working inflation is coming down wages are growing the
Economy is back to Growing again and if we stick to this plan I can deliver a brighter future for everyone in our country that’s what I’m doing all conservatives are united in wanting to deliver a brighter future for our country and that’s why we’re cutting people’s taxes £900 for a typical person
In work we’re increasing the state pension by £900 in just a few weeks we’re in the middle of one of the biggest expansions of free child care that our country’s seen we’re getting the number of boats down by a third last year tackling illegal migration and today announcing new numbers of
Apprenticeship supporting small businesses these are all the things that matter to people and we are absolutely United in delivering for the country on these important matters very I’m not sure his heart’s in it very outbeat but is but the point is Tories always talk to the weekend some
Them very senior nobody’s listening any the thing with when when he’s sort of feeling like he’s he’s trying he’s trying so hard he gets even more bouncy and it’s like I will convince you with my little bouncy movements well John at home has said here we have the Tores
Desperate to win the next election we’ve got 10 million unemployed people not willing to work and he 10 10 million it’s not 10 million I think it’s about 5 million isn’t it um of working age not willing to work all he’s got to offer is 20,000 apprenticeships and then when
They wonder why they’re going to suffer their worst defeat ever Jeff sinak just doesn’t get it he shouts that he’s re taxes for the British people by2 billion pound what he’s done is stole that money from pensioners to pay for tax benefits for the well off the sooner he’s gone
The better the other point is Nash insurance is coming down again in April but people are being dragged into higher taxes because they’ve Frozen the uh allowances which means more people paying higher income tax they should have cut income tax in that budget a lot of you have been messaging about

Green lights this week with MPS set to vote on the flagship policy but the Rwanda government is reported to want to slow down the resettlement scheme slow down from stationary but should kagali be calling the shots and Margaret Thatcher has been listed as a punch and dudy villain alongside wait for it
Hitler and aama Bin Laden in a display hosted by London’s prestigious VNA Museum headed up by former labor MP trist Hunt I really want to understand how the Rwanda scheme can be slowed down even further uh not a single migrant has moved but but the detail here is of course that it’s not uh yet slowed down Rwanda want to have a pause after the first few migrants go if they ever go
Rwanda then saying hang about how about we just sort of send a dozen wait a few months and see how they settle in this just so this irritated me so much it’s not even about whether you’re supportive of the Rwanda scheme there are many very good Arguments for and against but the
Fact that we have sent tens of millions if not hundreds of millions hundreds of millions of pounds to Rwanda and now they’re saying oh sorry we’ve got to stagger it we can only take a few for now oh let’s slow down the scheme they should not be calling the shots surely
Britain should be if we’re the ones dishing out the money do you know what this is though this is Britain project
