scandal took an extraordinary twist today with a stunning mea culpa from natwest ceo dame alison rose , who wrote in alison rose, who wrote in a letter to the gb news host that the comments expressed in the bombshell 40 page dossier do not reflect the view of the bank. so she said, i am writing to apologise for the deeply inappropriate comments about yourself made in the now published papers prepared for the committee. believe the wealth committee. i believe very strongly that freedom of expression access banking expression and access to banking are fundamental to our society and it is absolutely not our policy exit a customer on the policy to exit a customer on the bafis policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views. i would actually argue that apology isn't good enough . surely rose isn't good enough. surely rose must immediately offer to reinstate nigel's accounts long term . and it's been a day of term. and it's been a day of grovelling apologies from the woke left with another display of rare contrition from ex—bbc journalist and self—righteous podcast host jon sopel. the beeb's former north america edhon beeb's former north america editor. initially sent a smug tweet claiming nigel must have felt quote like a bit of a

charlie after his old employers did coots dirty work by attempting to pour cold water on nigel's insistence he was debunked for political reasons. but today , with his tail firmly but today, with his tail firmly between his legs , sopel branded between his legs, sopel branded the unsavoury ordeal reprehensible and apologised, saying, i got it wrong. sorry, that will teach me to trust reporting of my old employer. well, i could have told you that a long time ago. john, nigel. graeme joyously accepted that apology, but sopel actually raises question why raises an important question why did the nation state broadcast to protect the interests of a bank take over its customers ? bank take over its customers? was it because the british bashing corporation shares the bank's communist style mission to eradicate wrongthink and promote its own woke worldview ? promote its own woke worldview? last night the daily telegraph revealed that the natwest ceo wined and dined next to the bbc's business editor , simon bbc's business editor, simon jacques, at a glitzy do and the grand ballroom of london's langham hotel the night before he published the bank's counterclaim about nigel's wealth being insofar isn't so frankly , the whole thing stinks.

frankly, the whole thing stinks. this kind of client journalism to protect the interests of london's metropolitan elite, not ordinary brits . it damages our ordinary brits. it damages our democracy and proves why no one trusts the british bashing corporation anymore . more. and corporation anymore. more. and now rose's position said to be untenable with what she did to nigel, causing huge reputational damage, as well as appearing to breach client confidentiality. and one source has told our very own alison pearson tonight , own alison pearson tonight, someone has to go . the treasury someone has to go. the treasury today toughened rules for banks over account closures and will have to give a reason for shutting someone's bank account in a move designed to protect freedom of expression. but the mainstream media and the liberal elites within it must do more to prove the british public that they too, who are on the side of free speech. but to respond now, the aforementioned top daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, the conservative pair, are going to be talking more

about that because it's been a big week for lord shaun bailey. we'll do so later. and the author and broadcaster newly married as well. congratulations. new name, amy, nicolle turner. i've extended things just to make my life a little bit more difficult . so, little bit more difficult. so, alison pearson, you've got a lot of exclusive information tonight. what are you hearing about this? coots versus farage drama ? drama? >> i've been talking to people who senior at who are very, very senior at coots at the highest level. they're talking about a woke bullying culture within coots, where progressive ideas are forced onto staff. and if the staff protest, then they are sacked or cancelled. so that's the background to this. and when this woman, alison rose, first took on her 5.4 million job, her first thing was to say that her major priority was climate change and because, as we know, banks are all about climate change, aren't they? so it's a it's an extraordinary picture. and i think there's so many, so many different elements it, many different elements of it, which all unpick. which we'll we'll all unpick. but them say for her. but for them to say for her. alison rose to claim in her

apology she quotes unquote to nigel that the 40 page dossier in which he was called a disingenuous grifter , he was disingenuous grifter, he was called racist. he was called xenophobic. and the thing i love best was he was accused of thatcherite values. if we were to subtract an from the client base of coots , all the people base of coots, all the people who made money during the thatcher era, they'd be left with about ten people. >> but it's quite funny though, isn't because wanted to isn't it, because they wanted to make this decision in theory to make this decision in theory to make reputation better . make their reputation better. but it's done the reverse and it's completely destroyed. their reputation . reputation. >> but it's not. amy. the clients of coots a the idea that this woman, alison rose, claims their policy is inclusivity. this is a bank for people with extreme . yeah, that's the least extreme. yeah, that's the least inclusive bank in the world. exclusivity that is their raison d'etre. let me tell you, the people i'm talking to are saying it's disgusting, it's disgraceful. all the clients , disgraceful. all the clients, many of whom are landowners, many of whom are landowners, many of whom have families who've banked with coots for

centuries, are going to be fleeing because a lot of money doesn't like publicity. dan, you know it's going to cost. so this woman has basically put off existing clients . but why put existing clients. but why put off forthcoming clients and has, you know, brought the bank into grave disrepute? she must either go or be sacked. >> the risk the real risk she took is a very poor banker that gives personal information. if you're one of the very wealthy people at coots, what you want above all things, is anonymity. you want to be invisible. and the idea that your banker will slip a note or a tongue to a to a bbc journalist is terror for you? >> the thing is, why do these really rich, rich people need this special banking ? this special banking? >> am i really naive to just ask that simple question? >> yes, you are. well, tell me why then. >> because why can't they get down the natwest or natwest will have very, very rich have some very, very rich customers well. customers as well. >> have high net worth >> all banks have high net worth individuals which given individuals which are given a special service. >> amy i've debunked by >> amy i've been debunked by coots . coots. >> that logic, i can't bank

>> by that logic, i can't bank with coots. >> you wouldn't have been banked in the first place. >> well, exactly. >> well, exactly. >> so i just can't understand. >> so i just can't understand. >> they find out >> that's why if they find out how you are. alison rose how woke you are. alison rose will give you a special and maybe i get a bit of a maybe when i if i get a bit of a pay pay rise. >> raises the point of the >> sean raises the point of the bbc. alison and this is actually really shocking, isn't it? because simon did the because simon jack, who did the bidding coots and tried bidding of coots and tried to make nigel and make nigel look foolish and suggested he'd lost his suggested that he'd lost his account because he didn't account simply because he didn't have whatever required it have whatever was required in it at this event. next to rose, the day before he reported the news. so of course we can't say for certain , given that she was his certain, given that she was his source . but come on, it's source. but come on, it's looking suspicious , isn't it? looking suspicious, isn't it? >> looking suspect. yeah. as you said, dan, in your intro, it does stink to high heaven and it does stink to high heaven and it does create this picture of a certain elite class of person with the same set of views supporting each other, feeding each other information . each other information. >> and the reason they wanted to get of was basically get rid of nigel was basically doesn't smell right at our dinner parties . it's snobbery,

dinner parties. it's snobbery, it's snobbery , it's bias, it's it's snobbery, it's bias, it's absolutely disgusting. and natwest is owned . 39% of natwest natwest is owned. 39% of natwest is owned by the taxpayer who had to bail that useless bank out, run by run into the ground by fred the shred goodwin. we spent billions of public money on this bank and now the coots despises many of the people who voted for brexit. >> i just feel like this has gone a little bit far and there is only limited sympathy i can have for a very, very, very rich man's banking arrangements and this has hit so many headlines andifs this has hit so many headlines and it's bigger than that. >> tell me, enlighten me. >> tell me, enlighten me. >> you why it's bigger >> i'll tell you why it's bigger than because looks like than that. because it looks like a certain set people collude a certain set of people collude to cancel one private bank. yeah, to cancel people. and it wasn't one private bank. it's a way to store we went around. it's the way support city and what it does. it's a it's a shines a light on the activities that are going on the idea that you can destroy someone's life and just because they

and family just because they don't share your. >> that's the point is the point is and it happened to lots of people before, amy, including me with hsbc, we were all too ashamed to do anything about it, to publicly about it, to speak out publicly about it, because it would make because we worried it would make us likely for other us less likely for other financial institutions to take us us on. >> us on. >> nigel, who battled this >> so nigel, who battled this personally for many months, actually speaking out, he's done us all such a huge favour. and can you not see, amy, that there is this creep, can you not see, amy, that there is this creep , there is this is this creep, there is this slow creep towards a chinese style social credit system in this country? >> not really , because they >> not really, because they offered him a different account , but they offered him a slightly altered number one. >> number one, he wasn't he wasn't a complete account. we just have to get the facts right. that was only offered right. but that was only offered him that account once they found out nigel was about to go out that nigel was about to go on and blow the whistle on gb news and blow the whistle on the whole thing. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> these values. i was talking to one of the most senior people in british banking today. these values a woodworm of values there is a woodworm of woke in foundations all values there is a woodworm of wcour n foundations all values there is a woodworm of wcourinstitutionsations all values there is a woodworm of wcour institutions nows all values there is a woodworm of wcour institutions nows itl of our institutions now and it is going to take a hell of a

on gb news. the people's. channel >> my royal mouse marzetti colin campbell and phil dampier up very shortly . but first, big very shortly. but first, big willie style with former tory minister ann widdecombe . and as minister ann widdecombe. and as i mentioned at the top of the show, gb news star nigel farage has rocked the established this week by exposing the illustrious british bank coot who ruth famously closed his account after claiming issues with commercial viability . the bank commercial viability. the bank has now been forced into an embarrassing u—turn after nigel exposed the real reasons for its closure has perhaps controversial but entirely legitimate political opinions, as well as his friendships with pubuc as well as his friendships with public figures, including donald trump and novak djokovic. with coots saying he did not coots remember saying he did not augn

coots remember saying he did not align so ann align with their values. so ann widdecombe, this is a massive victory , not just for raje over victory, not just for raje over couht , but actually for free couht, but actually for free speech champions over the establishment . establishment. >> yes , that is true. but i'm >> yes, that is true. but i'm rather disappointed by the government's response now. they acted quickly as far as go say they'll change the law, etcetera. now they've already imposed a free speech law on universities. now they're going to do it effectively on the banks. but why do it piecemeal ? banks. but why do it piecemeal? the fact is, throughout this country , you can be cancelled country, you can be cancelled just by having the wrong views, and there should be an overarching law which makes a presumption in favour of free speech. and it should cover not just banks and not just universities. it should cover businesses. great. and small, with their employees and their customer accounts. it should cover theatres, it should cover cinemas, it should cover local councils. absolutely anything anywhere. it should cover . doing

anywhere. it should cover. doing it piecemeal won't meet the case. rishi mhm. >> that's a good point actually. but and so many aspects of this story completely stink . like the story completely stink. like the fact the bbc was doing the bidding of coots after the chief executive rose who had been at this awards. do this establishment awards, do probably quaffing champagne with simon sheikh, the bbc business editor . he simon sheikh, the bbc business editor. he reported something as fact clearly based on a source at coots . now that's been at coots. now that's been exposed as a complete lie. should the bbc be apologising here for false reporting? maybe we need to get on that bbc verify unit onto this claim . verify unit onto this claim. >> yeah, the bbc. of course it should apologise, but i think the crucial thing here is that if they did have a source at the bank and we all think we know who it was, if they did have a source at the bank that is such a breach of client

confidentiality that that person should obliged to resign. and should be obliged to resign. and my question is, why hasn't that person already resigned ? i mean, person already resigned? i mean, the poor old bbc, you know, have a heart. they must have thought they'd got the scoop of the century when, you know, this this story was given to them that poor old nigel, he didn't have his have enough money in his account. they really must have thought, wonderful account. they really must have thougithey wonderful account. they really must have thougithey wo have ul account. they really must have thougithey wo have learnt thing. they should have learnt from should have from the past. they should have learnt from the cliff richard fiasco. should know that fiasco. they should know that actually probably to actually it's probably better to get checked out and if get things checked out and if you're to mess around with you're going to mess around with people, around with people, don't mess around with farage last person farage and he's the last person they have messing they should have been messing around with. >> very good point. rishi >> very good point. now rishi sunak out the sunak has lashed out at the labour and as ongoing labour party, and as ongoing industrial action continues to cripple he's cripple the country. so he's written the daily telegraph written for the daily telegraph and said the opposition have shown total unwillingness to stand up to the unions, even with those demanding with those demands demanding unaffordable rises of sir unaffordable rises of 35. sir keir starmer has failed to rule out meeting their request. the impact strikes by these impact of the strikes by these unions be underestimated. unions cannot be underestimated. a 94 year old great grandmother

from canterbury was forced to drag her wheelie bin to miles to the nearest tip after waiting three weeks for striking refuse workers to correct it. so an that's the human cost of these strikes is sunak right to say that labour is unwilling to do anything about this given the unions effectively still run the labor party. i mean, yes, for once in his life she's actually talking common sense, which doesn't happen every time that he pronounces. >> but i think he's absolutely right. and by the way, just as an aside, i hope that poor old lady is going to get rebate lady is going to get a rebate from her tax because she from her council tax because she certainly deserves it. she's paid for a service. she's not receiving. it that receiving. but it also that story brings home the message that people always suffer when there's a strike on, you know , there's a strike on, you know, people who can't get hospital treatment or people who can't get a flight to see family, not just for a holiday , maybe dying just for a holiday, maybe dying family may be sick, family. there's always somebody

somewhere who suffers . and with somewhere who suffers. and with this bin strike, you had an old lady who has an immense amount of energy. i hope i can do that. at 94. i really do . but this was at 94. i really do. but this was somebody who was suffering . now somebody who was suffering. now it's true what rishi says labour has done nothing about saying what it would do with the unions. is it going to give to in all their demands? is it to going resist them? what is it to going resist them? what is it to going do? we don't hear. all going resist them? what is it to going do? we don't hear . all we going do? we don't hear. all we know is they certainly don't challenge the unions who are, of course largely their paymasters. so i think that what you can say here is , is that keir starmer here is, is that keir starmer has failed and rishi sunak is now pointing out the blooming obvious , but now they should obvious, but now they should press that. it's no good , rishi, press that. it's no good, rishi, just say it and then move on to another topic. they should press and press and press that in parliament and in the media everywhere they can. people should be pointing out that piers starmer has basically

stuck his head in the sand and is taking no position at all on pubuc is taking no position at all on public suffering now. >> and prince george , this is >> and prince george, this is really interesting. apparently he is not going to be expected to serve in the armed forces before he comes. king which will, of course, break a centuries old precedent within the british monarchy . i hear the british monarchy. i hear you're not a big fan of this move . move. >> and i think it's insane . i >> and i think it's insane. i mean, i think if that really is what williams decided and we only had one report, but if that really is what williams decided , he's just lost the plot. i mean, there's a very good reason why heirs to the throne serve in the armed services. it's not because there's some fluffy tradition. it is because of the armed services. take their oath of allegiance to the monarch and it is the monarch who signs off the order for war and therefore, when they take that oath of loyalty to the monarch , they loyalty to the monarch, they need to be able to feel that he or she is one of them. and they can't feel that if that monarch

neven can't feel that if that monarch never, ever been in the armed services, it doesn't have to be. but a very lengthy time. >> but and what if william and kate. no young george and no . kate. no young george and no. that this would be like a prince edward moment. do you remember when prince edward was was forced to enter and it was a disaster and he wasn't made for that? it didn't suit the type of guy that he was . guy that he was. >> no, didn't matter in prince edward's case, because he was umpteen in line by that time and always knew that he would slip further down as his older siblings had their own children . so it really didn't matter. and edward's case, and i was not one of those who condemned edward at the time actually said, look, he's you know, i think he was fourth in line then just let him go his own way. but this is different. this is the person whom the armed person to whom the armed services pledge allegiance services will pledge allegiance . can't be bothered to . and if he can't be bothered to serve or is too scared to serve or doesn't really think it will be terribly congenial to serve, thatis

be terribly congenial to serve, that is not going to work. i don't know what william is thinking of if he has actually said that. i can only hope the king bashes some sense into their heads . their heads. >> oh my goodness . and you're >> oh my goodness. and you're just like george. like it or not, you're going in the navy. yes >> or. or you know, if he decides that he doesn't want royal life, if that's what he decides, i respect that. but then he gives up his birthright. wow >> tough talking. and would it give big willie style ? great to give big willie style? great to speak to you and speak next week. but coming up in the mediabuzz my superstar panel give their first reactions to the three by elections taken cross taking place across england today that could set the tone for general election. tone for the general election. you've get voting you've got to get voting although keep watching us, please, polls close very please, because polls close very shortly. course , the big shortly. of course, the big question is whether this is the beginning of the end for rishi sunak. we'll analyse after ten minutes. spines, minutes. my royal mail spines, lady phil de reacted. the lady c and phil de reacted. the sensational news that harry and meghan were snubbed a ride back to america on president joe

biden's air force one jet after the late queen's funeral. so are the late queen's funeral. so are the royals deluded and the runaway royals deluded and are political ambitions are meghan's political ambitions now in tatters? my royal masterminds react straight after this .

time now for our royal milestones. lady colin campbell and phil dampier. and it's been revealed harry and meghan got a harsh reality check at the late queen's funeral they were queen's funeral after they were sensationally snubbed a ride back the on air force one. back to the us on air force one. the white house rejected their attempt to fly home on joe biden's plane, biden's presidential plane, insisting move would cause insisting the move would cause a diplomatic row with king charles months earlier. first lady jill biden was also invited to the duke's invictus games, but the idea was quashed over concerns the royal family would be offended presence there. offended by her presence there. so lady colin campbell, let me bfing so lady colin campbell, let me bring you in on this. so lady colin campbell, let me bring you in on this . what what bring you in on this. what what do you make of it.

>> well, dan , it confirms what >> well, dan, it confirms what i've been saying for the last two years. >> you know, it's been no secret in certain circles that despite meghan's attempts to cultivate the democratic party or like all a—listers , everybody is treating a—listers, everybody is treating her like the pariah that she is. nobody wants to know. and harry, same thing. you know , people same thing. you know, people have had a choice to make and they have made it , whether it's they have made it, whether it's they have made it, whether it's the amal and george clooney or the amal and george clooney or the jill and joe biden's and the list is fairly endless. the jill and joe biden's and the list is fairly endless . they've list is fairly endless. they've had a choice. either they are with harry and meghan or they leave their options open to have good relations with the royal family. but they can't do both . family. but they can't do both. and what's really interesting is

how this has got out, because this has not got out by accident . this has got out purposely by phil dampier. >> what's your take on this one? yeah good evening, dan, i mean, getting on air force one was a non—starter, wasn't it? >> i mean, it's not a taxi service, isn't it? i mean, it would have set a precedent. and you can't have any tom dick or harry getting on air force one. see, what i did there? so you know, that was never going to happen. definitely happen. but they're definitely on out. as lady c says, on the way out. as lady c says, we don't see them with the obamas anymore. we don't see them anymore. i them with oprah anymore. and i think biden's quite think although joe biden's quite happy pull strings in the happy to pull strings in the background concerning harry's visa, actually quite close visa, he is actually quite close to king charles, as we saw the other day when he was at windsor castle with him. they get on very well. they see eye to eye on climate change. on things like climate change. and if he's to serve and if he's going to serve a second term, he wants have second term, he wants to have better him. so better relations with him. so although tom bowyer although i know tom bowyer thinks meghan might want to

thinks that meghan might want to stand president one day, i stand as president one day, i just see it happening now. just don't see it happening now. i she's got i don't think she's got the clout do it. i don't think clout to do it. i don't think she's the backing and she's got the backing and i don't think she's got the temperament for it and think don't think she's got the tem oughtant for it and think don't think she's got the tem ought to for it and think don't think she's got the tem ought to forgetand think don't think she's got the tem ought to forgetand aboutk she ought to forget all about her political career and really concentrate something concentrate on something commercial like, know, commercial like, you know, the health lifestyle, health and beauty lifestyle, reinvent the tick, something like forget like that, and just forget it because i just don't think she's cut out for it. >> now, look, in a column for the daily mail today, richard k says harry and meghan's treatment of her estranged father, thomas markle, who celebrated five birthdays since speaking to his daughter this week, is the cruellest thing they've ever done. now ladies , they've ever done. now ladies, see, you're very close to the markle family. do you agree . markle family. do you agree. >> oh, absolutely. i agree with everything, richard said. and i said it in my book. meghan and harry, the real story that the biggest mistake meghan would be proven to have made was that she had dumped her father the way

she did . you know, everybody in she did. you know, everybody in every culture, everywhere in the world understands , finds a world understands, finds a variation of the commandment riff honour thy mother and thy father that thy days on this earth may be long. you know, it doesn't matter. every family has its issues . people don't like its issues. people don't like certain people in the family. no nobody trashes their family . it nobody trashes their family. it is just not. nobody trashes their family. it isjust not. not nobody trashes their family. it is just not. not done. and to humiliate it, not only her father , but the rest of her father, but the rest of her family, the way she did, people picked up on the fact that it was unforgivable and they have not forgiven her. it gave a clear insight into meghan's lack of character. lack of feeling, lack of loyalty and i could go on endlessly about the messages it gives lack of. but the fact of the matter is the public have

picked up on it and they picked up on it very early on. you know, the only people who didn't pick up on it were the idiots who follow her and think that she's leading them to the holy grail, when in fact, she's leading them to something pretty on holy phil dampier , your take? on holy phil dampier, your take? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, ladies, he knows the markle is much better than i do, but, i mean, he really has been the biggest loser out of all of this since the whole sorry saga started. now, i mean, he you know, he missed the wedding. he's daughter. he's he's lost his daughter. he's never the grandchildren. never met the grandchildren. i mean, the whole thing is absolutely fact absolutely tragic. and the fact that now harry and meghan that even now harry and meghan referred that as if referred to the fact that as if he's just some sort of complete stranger and cannot be bothered to go down and see when he's to go down and see him when he's literally road literally just down the road across in mexico. across the border in mexico. i mean, it's absolutely tragic. and indicates what and it really indicates what they as people that they are like as people that they are like as people that theyi they are like as people that they i god forbid, don't they are like as people that they iwhat god forbid, don't they are like as people that they iwhat they're:orbid, don't they are like as people that they iwhat they're going don't they are like as people that they iwhat they're going to n't they are like as people that they iwhat they're going to feel know what they're going to feel like if something happens to him because he's not the because we know he's not in the best of health. but it really is a story. and

a very, very sad story. and i think i think richard kay's right. he has the biggest right. he has been the biggest victim in all of this. >> now, there you see the king's sovereign grant has been slashed in treasury. is it in half by the treasury. is it right the monarch foot right for the monarch to foot the public services? the bill for public services? >> dan, i've looked into >> well, dan, i've looked into it quite carefully and, you know, there there are fewer royals actually working at the moment and they're doing fewer assignment engagements. and william and his family are now out of the sovereign grant. they william has the duchy of cornwall . so charles has cornwall. so charles has actually done a very clever thing. if you stop to think about it. he has given his critics a poisoned chalice because he has voluntarily cut down the cost of the monarchy and i think that this is sustainable for a few years. but

when the younger ones have to get involved because i mean , the get involved because i mean, the average age of the working royals is about 70. and when the younger ones get involved, they're going to have to increase the sovereign grant again, which i'm sure they will do without a problem . i think do without a problem. i think the monarchy costs each person in this country £1.29 per annum i >> -- >> phil dampier yeah, i think lady sees absolutely right. >> the fact that this initiative , if you like, is coming from the king himself i think speaks volumes. i mean, he knows that they've done extremely well out of the last of the system over the last decade or so. it was actually devised by george osborne and they've rated really because they've rated in really because they've rated in really because they've had things wind they've rated in really because they'v andd things wind they've rated in really because they'v and they1gs wind they've rated in really because they'v and they own wind they've rated in really because they'v and they own \whole of farms and they own the whole of the around the uk and the coast around the uk and properties in london. so they've made money think made a lot of money and i think he realises that they really have so have done well financially. so he's something back. we he's giving something back. we saw last week that camilla's not going to be given a salary like prince philip from the prince philip was from the state. that's going to be

private. we saw prince william renting out the cottage that charles to stay in wales charles used to stay in in wales . so it's all moving in the right and think right direction. and i think they're right thing. they're doing the right thing. and i think the public will respect them for it. it's respect them for it. so it's coming and that's why coming from them and that's why it counts. >> w- p“— e c, i would like >> well, lady c, i would like some money to be spent on some of the money to be spent on saving the next commonwealth games because you know, this hard right premier in hard left right premier in australia has just got rid of them and melbourne altogether . them and melbourne altogether. and i think actually the commonwealth games are so important. why not have them back in the uk? isn't that a good use of charles as well and williams now money? >> i think it's a brilliant idea. dan i think it's a brilliant when you stop to think of all of the athletes who have been training for years for this moment and to have it pulled by that creep in, i think it's victoria, yes. >> victoria. dan andrews , the >> victoria. dan andrews, the republican. dan andrews of victoria. >> yes. yes

»- >> yes. yes >> and he's done it without explanation . and there's no real explanation. and there's no real reason for doing it. and he's doneit reason for doing it. and he's done it because he's trying to further the republican agenda. but, i mean, it's not fairto but, i mean, it's not fair to the athletes all over the commonwealth, the commonwealth is the biggest block of nations in the world where speaking about billions of people , if not about billions of people, if not hundreds of millions of people, and they all have athletes who have been training for years, how dare he deprive them of their opportunity? >> i totally agree , ladies. see, >> i totally agree, ladies. see, phil d like that? my royal mouse man . thank you both so much. but man. thank you both so much. but coming up, polo is for today's three crucial by elections close in just a few minutes time and tories are bracing themselves for a bloodbath . i'm joined for a bloodbath. i'm joined shortly by tru blu dame andrea jenkins mp, who will give her first to the first live reaction to where the tories this government go tories in this government go from here. superstar panel, from here. my superstar panel, allison pearson , lord shaun

bailey, and the author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. and breaking tonight, polls now closed in three constituencies across england. and what is expected to be a triple by—election loss for rishi sunak's. conservatives the crucial vote could set the tone going into next year's election, with new polling showing prime ministers the prime minister's personal popularity rating at its lowest level since he entered number 10, down a whopping 6. and that's in a month . and tonight, tory sources month. and tonight, tory sources told gb news we have to wait for the results to come in. but by elections are rarely won by governing parties and they are rarely good indicators of general election performance across all of these campaigns, we heard zero enthusiasm we have heard zero enthusiasm for keir starmer's labour for sir keir starmer's labour party their of answers. party and their lack of answers. we to redouble our we now need to redouble our efforts earning the trust efforts earning back the trust of delivering on our of voters by delivering on our plan halve inflation, grow plan to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduced it, cut one seamless and stop the boats. but alison, you have written in your column that rishi is about to discover just how disillusioned

conservative party members are. >> zero dear. it's not going to be pretty, is it? >> no, it's going to be a bloodbath tonight . bloodbath tonight. >> i think it's going to be a bloodbath. look, i have my own focus group in the daily telegraph inbox to my column and they've been very, very upset for a long time. they feel utterly betrayed . tory voters of utterly betrayed. tory voters of 30 years standing actual members are furious , dan, and they are are furious, dan, and they are seeing an unconservative conservative government. they're seeing record highest taxes for 70 years. no meaningful attempt to reform the nhs . back at the to reform the nhs. back at the packet ideology for net zero, no housing for young people on and on and on it goes. and i think if you if you try to win over the people who hate you and you neglect the people who support you, you are in big trouble. so i don't think it's going to be very good news. and there are

obviously the uxbridge constituency, which was boris's constituency, which was boris's constituency . that's quite constituency. that's quite a small majority, 7000. but you would absolutely expect a conservative party that was on track to win a general election or to do okay in a general election to win somerset and frome and selby and ainsty. election to win somerset and frome and selby and ainsty . and frome and selby and ainsty. and if they go, they are both over 20,000 majority. so we are looking now at a situation where no tory safe seat may be safe . i no tory safe seat may be safe. i think i could be wrong. you can hold me to this. i'll buy you all drinks. we could be looking at a liberal party in 1924 style meltdown in 2024, and that was one of the most devastating obliterates signs of a british political party. and that would be mean people like suella braverman lots of the top tories would be gone. they've got an awful lot of ground to make up . awful lot of ground to make up. it's going to be bad, but. but baron bailey may not like me being so negative about his party. >> yeah, that's.

>> yeah, that's. >> look , you'd be a fool to say >> look, you'd be a fool to say that a place like somerset and fruit growing isn't important. it sends a message that the prime minister needs to listen to. but there's three things i'd say. firstly actually, the real pain was felt in local pain was felt in the local elections when labour became the biggest local biggest party of local government . that's where the government. that's where the real pain meant, a lot real pain meant, because a lot of good conservatives lost their seats and they are seething and we as supporters and we lose them as supporters and activists . the second thing activists. but the second thing to is , look, sitting to say is, look, sitting governments win by governments never win by elections. but losing a place at somerset and would really somerset and frome would really be scary because the be quite scary because the majority is huge. when you talk about uxbridge, the person about uxbridge, the only person who that seat, who could have kept that seat, they resign. boris they forced to resign. boris could kept it and forced to could have kept it and forced to resign have kept it. resign and would have kept it. but the thing i would say to the pm resist any ridiculous pm is resist any ridiculous calls get rid of you. hold on calls to get rid of you. hold on to the reins and give us something to support you. and i would say to rishi this year when was in this when john major was in this position, they absolutely pummelled him and told him he would lose and he won. but the way which he won was to

way in which he won was to forget all this managerial politics. back to politics. he went back to conservative beliefs and made the public realise he was going to deliver on that. the problem we have is sometimes we sound like a slightly less labour version of labour. it's time to step out as conservatives . step out as conservatives. that's the only thing that will save us a bold prime minister who acts like a conservative is what we need . what we need. >> i mean, nicole no, ijust. i'm still quite shocked that you said that the boris, boris, bofis said that the boris, boris, boris left. boris resigned. he abandoned his constituents . yes. abandoned his constituents. yes. he didn't need to do that . he he didn't need to do that. he left that seat wide open. he had the likes of you chasing him out on a spurious course. on a spurious coui'se. >> on a spurious course. >> literally. >> not literally. >> not literally. >> didn't. he didn't. he >> he didn't. he didn't. he didn't leave. he was pushed. >> he was absolutely pushed. >> he was absolutely pushed. >> open and >> he left that wide open and that seat. but that that shows the seat. but that shows his loyalty to you, to the to party, this whole charade. he was complete populist the was a complete populist the whole and he left as soon whole time. and he left as soon as but actually feel as he could. but i actually feel sorry sunak because he sorry for rishi sunak because he kind inherited boris's mess kind of inherited boris's mess in this. so don't think in all this. so i don't think you sign up to this whole long

covid thing that is long. >> boris they call it. >> boris thing they call it. sorry that ludicrous. that is sorry that is ludicrous. that is ludicrous. the boris ludicrous. this is the boris derangement syndrome. he's derangement syndrome. so he's been office. been out of office. >> messed up for a year. >> he messed it up for a year. >> he messed it up for a year. >> for a year. and when he left office, he was just three points behind. chaos starmer but alison, does the boris johnson brand of politics completely changed the conservative party and changed the reputation of the conservative party . the conservative party. >> and i honestly think if it wasn't for the whole boris johnson syndrome, which kicked off in, i would say like that 2019 intake, which completely transformed boris forward all the brexiteers more of what sean is talking about, short termism and needing some serious oomph now so boris could , for all his now so boris could, for all his many manifold faults , get out many manifold faults, get out there galvanise. >> i mean, all these red wall seats would never have gone to the conservatives without boris johnson. he was a person and they thought, god, he's a bit of a character, he's a bit of a chancen a character, he's a bit of a chancer. but we'll give him a go and simply

and rishi sunak just simply doesn't that. he's an doesn't have that. he's an apparatchik. very careful apparatchik. he's very careful as says, needs to be as sean says, he needs to be bold now. he needs to throw the entire farm at it. >> rishi sunak legacy . he at >> rishi sunak legacy. he at least will involve some minor achievements. i think wins a framework like the lgbt apology for the for the for the people in the in the military this week. the trade deals he's done, he's actually got stuff done but he's actually got stuff done but he never gets any credit because he never gets any credit because he inherited this absolute mega circus from boris johnson, which i think will he was he was never going to stay prime minister. he knew that when he inherited the government. >> more of my point is across with boris having gone that they are with rishi. are amazed with rishi. >> i have to say my point is this. >> my point is this you all elections are fought in unique circumstances . the idea that circumstances. the idea that labour automatically wins simply isn't true because keir starmer stands for absolute nothing. you could be a labour porter for the supporter for the last 30 years. please do tell me what keir starmer stands for. yes. you dislike tories? i that. dislike the tories? i get that.

but do you like about keir starmer? >> but at the moment literally no seats would go to a tory if there was a by—election in any one it's one one seat. today it's not one tory these three by tory tragedy of these three by elections is we are facing we're talking about earlier, sean talking about this earlier, sean , facing a third , and we are facing a third division labour government. >> are not looking forward to >> we are not looking forward to a labour government. it's not like 1997 when blair and brown had vision for the country. they came in with a plan and they wanted to make it a better country. what the hell? the labour government is going to do except us further down except us? take us further down two of these by elections? >> tory of these by >> tory two of these by elections didn't need to happen. >> nigel adams flounced off because be lord. because he couldn't be a lord. bofis because he couldn't be a lord. boris johnson flounced off because somebody broke on. >> him m on. >> him he forced >> you forced him out. he forced the you just saw. the public as you just saw. that's how loyal they are. >> the metro continued their fight back against the just stop oil today oil eco terrorists. today in lieu support from the lieu of any support from the police. now one heroic pensioner gave meddlers gave the middle class meddlers a piece mind after another piece of his mind after another of tiresome, slow walk of their tiresome, slow walk stunts. i've just got into scrapes , you say? stunts. i've just got into

scriwell you say? stunts. i've just got into scriwell .(ou say? stunts. i've just got into scriwell . sure,|y? stunts. i've just got into scriwell . sure, sir. sirjust >> well. sure, sir. sirjust walk in there like i think you work for a living, you know? but it's like it's nice for you stupid idiots. but what planet do you live on? what are you watching? james what . in watching? james what. in credibly cops moved him on. >> meanwhile , a group called >> meanwhile, a group called just stop peeing everyone off. love that. we're in similar price . orange t shirts prevented price. orange t shirts prevented loons from marching in the road by circling them in a counter protest. watch >> my name's keir. i'm 29 years old and yesterday i was arrested for peacefully protesting on the road . but i'm for peacefully protesting on the road. but i'm back out here today because it is our democratic right to do so . democratic right to do so. >> and we know that disruption is uncomfortable that lead people on social media to ask

where can they sign up? >> so maybe the climate clowns will finally get the message. i doubt it though, amy. they all made friends at the end, though. >> they made friends that is >> they made friends and that is britain polite britain in action. >> beautiful t" up. >> england legionnaire botham slams a report into racism in cricket as a waste of time. that's destroyed people's lives. so as societies obsession with race starting to do more harm than good, the superstars panel returned to debate that in the next media buzz. but first, dame andrea jenkins has been campaigning the by—election campaigning in the by—election battleground week, battleground of selby this week, but live in just a few but joins me live in just a few moments to give her first reaction to the polls. close see what does tonight mean for the tories and is sunak toast? dame andrea here .

this evening. >> gb news is the people's. channel kelvin mackenzie coming up, a time now for dame andrea jenkyns. >> and just a few minutes ago at the top of the hour, the pole was slammed shut in tonight's three crucial by elections, including boris johnson's former seat uxbridge south seat of uxbridge and south ruislip with the ruislip and with the conservative party facing the very prospect of three very real prospect of three by—election losses in one day, which managed which no government has managed since 1968, there are fears that the results could foreshadow further failure at the next general election, as the tories desperately tried prevent desperately tried to prevent slippery starmer strolling through ten's front door through number ten's front door . andrea, you've been . so, dame andrea, you've been campaigning outside the westminster bubble ahead of the by—election this by—election up in selby. this

week. impression of week. what's your impression of the feeling on the ground and doesit the feeling on the ground and does it match the doom and gloom being predicted in westminster ? being predicted in westminster? >> i mean, i was there from the very first week campaigning actually. >> dan , when we selected a >> dan, when we selected a candidate and you know, it's i don't i'd be very surprised if we hang onto any given the polling, but it's such a shame because we've got a great candidate in selby. >> she's from the neighbouring town. her father was a miner who come market stall holder. she's a lawyer herself , she's a a lawyer herself, she's a councillor in yorkshire as well . and it's such a shame, but i'm fine being on the doorstep, to be honest with you. dan um, there's no appetite for starmer whatsoever , so it's certainly whatsoever, so it's certainly not on 96 like your fabulous panel as just suggested . um, but panel as just suggested. um, but it, it's be because i think it will be dire because of the apathy on my side actually, you know, we, we haven't got the kind of conservative policies to

really bring people out such as the low taxes or indeed. >> so andrea, do you get angry with the wets in your party trying to blame this on boris johnson that describing it as long as boris when boris left, he was only a couple of points behind in the polls ? behind in the polls? >> um, completely. behind in the polls? >> um, completely . and let's not >> um, completely. and let's not forget, it's very hard for the governing party to win by elections. but look how he won. hartlepool you know, under him, we won hartlepool by—election yes, we lost wakefield , you yes, we lost wakefield, you know, unfortunately, etcetera. afterwards just before boris stepped down. but yeah, they've got to stop blaming boris. um, i mean, look , the prime minister's mean, look, the prime minister's beenin mean, look, the prime minister's been in since october , and been in since october, and really, his policies should be cutting through now. and if they don't, i really hope that tomorrow morning, don't, i really hope that tomorrow morning , the prime tomorrow morning, the prime minister, the cabinet, they sit down and realise that they've got to have a rethink of policies. and just as your panel said, we want conservative policies. we want to be the party of low taxes because

people on the doorstep, they think , what is the difference think, what is the difference between, as you said, slippery starmer, is not cutting starmer, who is not cutting through on the doorstep, and the conservative at the moment? >> speaking wets, >> now speaking about tory wets, andrea tobias ellwood, who is a former soldier , has been forced former soldier, has been forced to admit he got it wrong after recording a tone deaf video celebrating the taliban's progress corruption progress and tackling corruption in trade in in the opium trade in afghanistan. was bizarre. afghanistan. this was bizarre. watch >> it may be hard to believe, but security has vastly improved. >> corruption is down and the opium trade has all but disappeared. well, here in kabul disappeared. well, here in kabul, the streets are relatively safe . the checkpoints relatively safe. the checkpoints have all gone. business is are reopening. the economy is starting to function. our british embassy is just through those gates over there. unfortunately it's still closed i >>i >> i mean, andrea, given , for >> i mean, andrea, given, for example, i don't know the inhumane treatment of women. it's quite bizarre to see owlwood they're making almost like propaganda video for the like a propaganda video for the for the taliban . for the taliban. >> absolutely. i mean , i come up >> absolutely. i mean, i come up with some stupid things

sometimes, but i think what tobias said is just taking the biscuit. but i do wonder the timing of it actually, dan, because look, we've seen that the defence secretary has said he's stepping down in the reshuffle. is this tobias's video saying pick me, pick me, what's gone badly wrong ? what's gone badly wrong? >> yeah, true, true . >> yeah, true, true. >> yeah, true, true. >> and a surprise to nobody , by >> and a surprise to nobody, by the way, the bitter and twisted european union has sided with argentina over us by recognising the falkland islands by the argentine pinyin name in a recent declaration. this is despite the islands being officially owls , as we know. you officially owls, as we know. you know, we went to war for it. andrea the eu did backtrack today, but doesn't it just prove off we're better off out of bitter brussels completely ? bitter brussels completely? >> dan i mean, i fought like tooth and nail for brexit and i think again, the eu, their mask has slipped . you know, we've has slipped. you know, we've seen what they're really like. i don't think they've ever forgiven us for brexit and for leaving the eu and it shows you

their foreign policy really. you know, never to heart know, we was never to the heart of it. and so we're far better out charting our own . um, you out charting our own. um, you know, way in the world. and let's face it, you know, we have a fantastic military . and when a fantastic military. and when it comes to ukraine, look, it's britain leading the way of support there . so i think we support there. so i think we need to be to be proud of our foreign policy and our defence policy. >> now, andrew figures hidden away in the foreign office's annual report revealed that british aid to india set to store a whopping 70. now that's despite repeated pledges from ministers to axe it. and given india is wealthy enough to have launched its own space program, is this a bit of a in insult to british taxpayers ? british taxpayers? >> i mean, i think it's just crazy, dan, to be honest. i mean, for years we've been saying i mean quite since , you saying i mean quite since, you know, even i've been elected actually since 2015, that we're going to stop giving money to these bric nations who are , um, these bric nations who are, um, you know, they are emerging

economies. they are doing fabulously well. and we shouldn't be giving money, not when i mean, i've had a surgery today , dan, and, you know, today, dan, and, you know, people are really struggling and especially with the energy costs and we shouldn't be sending money abroad in this way. >> sorry, i'm so stupid. initially when you said that, i thought, oh, no, you've been in hospital . no, thought, oh, no, you've been in hospital. no, i get you. thought, oh, no, you've been in hospital . no, i get you. okay. hospital. no, i get you. okay. you've meeting with your you've been meeting with your constituents. yes. good. got it. andrea luck for andrea jenkins, good luck for the tonight. but i don't the tories tonight. but i don't don't think it's i don't think it's looking good for you. we'll speak very soon. but coming up in uncancel, fleet street icon kelvin gets into kelvin mackenzie gets stuck into not one, but two apologies heading nigel farage way heading nigel farage his way after his banking scandal. revelations man revelations awoke former bbc man and bank ceo have been left red faced tonight and kelvin is going to let rip on this very soon. but next in the media, buzz. legend ian botham buzz. england legend ian botham slams racism and slams a report into racism and cricket as a waste of time that's destroyed people's lives. so is society's obsession with race harm than good? race doing more harm than good? my race doing more harm than good? my in next.

hands those guys are a hands because those guys are a couple of them. i know i'm not going to name them, but a couple of them i know whose lives have almost been totally destroyed. yeah. and through it and they don't know what they're meant to have done . have done. >> yeah, absolutely. i hear my superstar panel return now. top daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, conservative peen allison pearson, conservative peer, lord shaun bailey, and the author broadcaster amy author and broadcaster amy nicholl. turner. allison pearson, i actually think ian botham totally spot on here. botham is totally spot on here. do you? >> yeah, i'm so glad he's spoken up because i think people are very speak out. very frightened to speak out. now report he was alluding now this report he was alluding to called the independent to was called the independent commission for equity in cricket. now, anybody who knows anything about this field knows that equity is a huge that the word equity is a huge red flag . that means it's red flag. that means it's written by people who are obsessed with race in our society, and that i would say that that commission went looking for evidence of racism . looking for evidence of racism. um, many people i know who both play um, many people i know who both play cricket organise cricket for kids, take part in cricket . for kids, take part in cricket. i've spoken to them over the

last few weeks since the report came out. they're devastated. dan an indian , a friend who's dan an indian, a friend who's who's indian, he is absolutely devastated . he he looks to devastated. he he looks to cricket as a unifying force in our society . cricket as a unifying force in our society. ian botham is part of a great generation of cricket's. his big mate is sir viv richards . it was sachin viv richards. it was sachin tendulkar . cricket has in this tendulkar. cricket has in this country has been a solvent of racial tensions. country has been a solvent of racial tensions . and so i think racial tensions. and so i think this report was dreadful. and ian botham said yes, of course there were ice, there have been isolated incidents, but he hadnt isolated incidents, but he hadn't come across it. and i think it's cast a lot of good people in a bad light, including including michael vaughan , who including michael vaughan, who was accused of making racist remarks and was cleared . remarks and was cleared. >> you absolutely can't say that these are just isolated incidents , though, because the incidents, though, because the findings of that isi report found that 50% of players in the last five years had experienced some form of racism. and within the pakistani community, it was 87. and there are major

cricketers who will talk about this . mohd cricketers who will talk about this. mohd ali, imran khan in cricket has had a problem with racism for about 40 years. it has got better, it has got better , but it is still endemic better, but it is still endemic in the sport. and that's what the report suggested. and if you start to say, oh, that report, bfing start to say, oh, that report, bring it reputation into disrepute, well, are we going to say that about the cas report? are we going to say that about the casey review? >> this was it's not fair. it's not fair to compare it to other reports that bear no resemblance to at all. the casey review to it at all. the casey review is a different thing. let's be clear as who was clear here. as someone who was born raised in this country born and raised in this country and played cricket in school, cricket great leveller. cricket was a great leveller. i remember saying, hold remember someone saying, hold on, someone on, hold on, i made someone say saying the idea saying to me, the idea that white people are superior to black when we pummel them black people when we pummel them all cricket all the time on the cricket field is that was the beginning of conversation. and i want of the conversation. and i want to be very clear about this and this report. yeah this is about the report. yeah a racist team or a set of racist goings on does not make for a racist sport. that's a that's a

very different thing. to be clear, is some racism in clear, there is some racism in cricket. that's people . there is clear, there is some racism in cricketbutat's people . there is clear, there is some racism in cricketbut if s people . there is clear, there is some racism in cricketbut if you're le . there is clear, there is some racism in cricketbut if you're le . thtoz is some. but if you're going to build a report that focuses build a report that only focuses on racism doesn't focus on the racism and doesn't focus on the racism and doesn't focus on that has been on the progress that has been made , b, to go about the made, and b, how to go about the next progress. all you do next set of progress. all you do is generate animosity. and if you get of people who are you get a set of people who are only looking for the problem, they will only find the problem. so you commission so when you commission this report of the leading report, part of it, the leading part of it should be, okay, we know there's racism. that's not a revelation. how do we put it right? and i worry that it was more about punishing people and elevating racism rather than finding a solution. >> wants to respond. >> amy wants to respond. >> amy wants to respond. >> do have some >> i do actually have some agreement with you because agreement with you there because the racial barrier cricket the racial barrier in cricket remains you go to remains owns class. if you go to private school, you are 13 times more likely to succeed as a professional cricketer , despite professional cricketer, despite only 5% of the population going to private school. >> cricket is soccer is predominantly state schools. but that's but that's. >> but are you comfortable with that? no but my son my son is an

amazing cricketer and i want him to have equality of chance. >> that's a decision that state schools have made . and also, as schools have made. and also, as much as i love cricket, you cannot deny that football is more popular. so if you look at it the other way round, if you go to a state school, you're far more likely to get involved in a more likely to get involved in a more popular sport that has much more popular sport that has much more money in it. but the class, this the point i'm trying to this is the point i'm trying to make you are looking for make is what you are looking for is what you're not. >> completely and >> they completely intersect and the obviously is the class disparity obviously is reflective of why it is overwhelmingly ethnic minorities who get affected by this, because there proportionately overrepresented within that. >> the report was very dim about certain things. so it said like girls and asian players are unrepresented beyond this certain based on the participation levels . that is participation levels. that is because lots of asian parents say to the boys and girls, you're going to get on with your studies and be a doctor or a lawyer and that is that is absolutely true . if they drop absolutely true. if they drop out because they think professional sport is not a respectable for an immigrant child to do so there are of

child to do so there are lots of things in report which things in the report which didn't actually burrow down into i >> exactly. >> exactly. >> and ian bolton's point , i >> and ian bolton's point, i think about the impact that this report had on certain report has had on certain individuals lives. i'm worried about there being blood on the hands of the people behind it. i think we should really listen to that. now, a friend of the show, deputy tory party chairman lee anderson unable to anderson, on he seems unable to avoid steve bray as the westminster winner, chased lee down before the pair down the street before the pair clashed again outside clashed once again outside parliament. as usual, clashed once again outside parliament. as usual , there parliament. and as usual, there was only one winner. >> get the mouth. this morning. i every morning, every i have every morning, every morning , bro. yeah, yeah, yeah. morning, bro. yeah, yeah, yeah. good job. anyway, i'm self—employed. are you telling you that? but too you're thick to listen. you think you too thick to fit to listen . you thick to fit to listen. you sponge off society anyway, what's this about your second job? would you be? i won't take a second job. here you go. you won't take a hundred thousand. >> oh, what a great comeback. the red wall rottweiler certainly hasn't lost his bite.

i'm nicole shaun bailey. >> allison pearson. you forgot the turner. oh oh, i'm gonna be happy. is that, like, some sort of woke offence ? of woke offence? >> have i, like. >> have i, like. >> no, just my husband. what have l >> no, just my husband. what have i. my husband's watching and he'll be very upset. misnamed you. >> it's jonathan . >> it's jonathan. >> it's jonathan. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> amy. nicole turner . >> amy. nicole turner. >> amy. nicole turner. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you're going have give >> you're going to have to give me little while back to stand me a little while back to stand by coming up, out by because coming up, find out which woke newspaper has been nominated in tonight's greatest britain for their britain union jack for their ageist sexist reporting. but ageist and sexist reporting. but next fleet next in uncancelled, fleet street kelvin mackenzie next in uncancelled, fleet streethis kelvin mackenzie next in uncancelled, fleet streethis unfiltered] mackenzie next in uncancelled, fleet streethis unfiltered verdict nzie next in uncancelled, fleet streethis unfiltered verdict one gives his unfiltered verdict on the nigel farage banking scandal that wokester is that has left the wokester is red faced shame. cowan red faced and shame. cowan actually this is one of actually thinks this is one of the greatest ever victories over the greatest ever victories over the establishment . he also gets the establishment. he also gets stuck this falkland row and stuck into this falkland row and a vile thug who killed a pregnant mum of three by speeding at more than 120mph in his car, all of that when we're live with carbon mackenzie in just two minutes time .

time now for uncanceled . and time now for uncanceled. and this is where britain's top commentators speak out on controversial issues without the fear of the cancel culture sweeping the rest of the media. and nigel farage is banking scandal has exposed more than just authoritarianism. just creeping authoritarianism. it's also laid bare the bitter bias of left wing hacks like former bbc boss jon sobel, who smugly declared last week, you must feel a bit of a charlie if you're nigel farage and you claim it's an establishment claim that it's an establishment stitch account's stitch up, that your account's been and not just been closed, and not just because enough because you're not rich enough for coots nigel's for coots after nigel's revelations yesterday proving coots did close his accounts for holding the wrong views, farage fired hi john. who is the fired back. hi john. who is the charlie now? i look forward to your apology and to his credit, sopel did today, tweeting sopel did oblige today, tweeting i wrong. that will i got it wrong. sorry. that will teach trust reporting of teach me to trust reporting of my ipso employer and kelvin my old ipso employer and kelvin mackenzie . that is really mackenzie. that is really interesting, isn't it ? because

interesting, isn't it? because the got this so the bbc got this so spectacularly wrong. surely they are the ones that should be apologising for their reporting. i wondered kelvin if we needed to set bbc verify. you know, the misinformation unit needs to start looking into this one. >> very good idea . and the other >> very good idea. and the other person that's gone very quiet is mr jack , the reporter who mr jack, the reporter who claimed that the reason that nigel got the push was because he didn't have enough money in the bank account. right. and that turned out to be complete cobblers. and he almost certainly , according to the certainly, according to the telegraph, got it because he was sitting next to dame alison rose, the ceo of the natwest bank, the parent company of coots , at a bbc correspondent coots, at a bbc correspondent dinner the night before he revealed this , quote, exclusive revealed this, quote, exclusive unquote. he hasn't said a word today. unquote. he hasn't said a word today . he they got it wrong . not

today. he they got it wrong. not only have they got it wrong, they they've actually the source has now had to completely backtrack in order to get herself off the hook. what nigel farage has done has been a phenomenal victory. the size of which against an established giant, the size of a of a bank. right. and you are a customer. you have been wronged. what can you do about it? do a nigel, learn from nigel, take publicity , take everything you've got and throw it at them. so the next thing i am fantastically looking forward to is dame alison rose being pushed out of her job because the idea that the ceo of coots can wake up one day and say, i must throw old nigel out. i've never liked his politics anyway and did it on his own account and didn't call upstairs to say to the ceo, look, i want to say to the ceo, look, i want to do this. what do you think, alison? and rose says, i'll tell you what. go for your life . it's you what. go for your life. it's an incredible situation . and

an incredible situation. and what they don't like the banks, of course, is that all the politicians have piled in with the exception of one party. have you heard starmer? have you heard reeve? have you heard them all coming out saying, well done , nigel. thank you for standing up for every account holder who doesn't have politics that agree with quotes. your bank, my advice to natwest customers who voted, who voted leave is my advice is you should try and head to barclays. hsbc go somewhere else because clearly you're unwanted within that corporation. it's an absolute disgrace. and i can't congratulate farage enough. it's an astonishing volte face. and were it not for his strength of purpose and in a funny way, were it not for him being on gb news, he would never have the platform to win what is a fantastic victory , not only for himself

victory, not only for himself but for other ordinary people? >> no , indeed. >> no, indeed. >> no, indeed. >> it's incredible. absolutely incredible. and so important because so many of us stayed quiet in the past about being banked because we were embarrassed. we were worried about the consequences. and i think nigel has now proven actually the importance of us all speaking out about this stuff. i now cover the eu sparked a diplomatic row by endorsing argentine name for endorsing the argentine name for the falkland islands. so you were the editor of the sun dufing were the editor of the sun during the falklands war. you put out the famous gotcha front page. there it is back in 1982, you . you. >> yeah, i've worn well . >> yeah, i've worn well. >> yeah, i've worn well. >> yes, so does the sun. does this prove why it's so good that we're just out of the eu now? what were they thinking with this kelvin ? this kelvin? >> i'll tell you what they were thinking. this is good politics. the uk can just get on with it. they can suck it up. we don't really care. we can do this deal with the south american country

as it helps the argentina's. it might help something out. actually the truth about the matter is the falkland islands love under the uk control. love being under the uk control. they could have voted at any time to join argentina. they got nothing in common with them and actually we fought to maintain that position. a situation we would do if gibraltar to who doesn't also want to be part of a spanish mainland . right? a spanish mainland. right? supposing they say , as they do, supposing they say, as they do, we want to stay . actually, we we want to stay. actually, we would fight for gibraltar if they wanted us to do so. it's a fantastic thing . it is our fantastic thing. it is our country. it's one of the things that's going on in between russia and ukraine. you can't just have people just deciding from other areas to take over land. so war turns out to be the only answer . and we won that only answer. and we won that war. it was a fantastic performance. i mean, it's a 6000 mile supply line. my god . and we mile supply line. my god. and we still did it. and we lost 235 lives to see those people live under the british rule because

that's what they want . the eu that's what they want. the eu don't understand this. they don't understand this. they don't understand this. they don't understand frontiers. they don't understand frontiers. they don't understand frontiers. they don't understand anything. and that's one of the reasons why we left. >> now. kevin, this is the moment a scumbag driver who filmed himself speeding . at filmed himself speeding. at 123mph with one hand on the wheel before he smashed into a 38 year old pregnant mum of three. so it's abdel iqbal. he was jailed for 12 years after the killing of former hollyoaks actress frankie jules, half . but actress frankie jules, half. but given his recklessness, kelvin , given his recklessness, kelvin, was that sentence long enough ? was that sentence long enough? >> well, absolutely it wasn't, man. this is a heartbreaking story. this is a real piece of filth. well, it was his father's car. i don't think he had work. he was to going he was going to upload that picture, according to the police, probably to facebook, in order boast facebook, in order to boast about it . facebook, in order to boast about it. this woman, car about it. this woman, her car had broken down. he crashes his swerve, he swerving all over the road. he crashes into her car.

he kills her. she's pregnant . he kills her. she's pregnant. right. her son, who was also in the car, he also ends up in a coma. the family have been destroyed and what happens actually , that guy gets 12 actually, that guy gets 12 years. he'll be out in less than six. he won't even be 28 years old. and yet his life goes on. the husband, the father , his the husband, the father, his life will never be the same. his wife is dead . everything he's wife is dead. everything he's fought for, what is going on with our law? we should, as far as i understand it, the maximum that that guy could have got was 14 years. we need to look at these sentences on my twitter feed. the one thing that gets everybody absolutely enraged is the sense that people aren't having big enough sentences for crimes which make you feel terror inside and terrible for the family that father , what the family that father, what life does he face going forward ? >> ?- >> very ? >> very good point. very well

put, kevin mckenzie, former editor of the sun newspaper, thank you so much. come, we'll speak on monday. but it's time now to reveal tonight's greatest britain in union jackass . my britain in union jackass. my superstar panel return, allison pearson, who's your nominee for tonight's it is suella braverman , the home secretary who said that it was sinister. >> the role that equity diversity and inclusion had played in coutts banks banning of or closing of nigel farage accounts suella reliably the most if not the only conservative lviv left in our conservative government . conservative government. >> yeah, certainly around that cabinet table anyway . shaun cabinet table anyway. shaun bailey your nominee . bailey your nominee. >> my nominees are his gb news very own nigel farage for as calvin mckenzie said, doing a nigel taking on the bank and beating them. this is a victory for all ordinary people in this country because if you think it's only nigel that's been had

farage explaining that the bank hadn't, in fact, discriminated against him on the basis of its views , which coote's jolly well views, which coote's jolly well had dame allison resign or be sacked. >> sean bailey, your nominee my nominees coots bank for its sinister and careless way that it removed someone's bank account. >> nigel farage's bank account for political reasons and denied that that was the case. the 40 page dodgy dossier shows that it was. remember this is a bank while its parent bank at least that's full of our public money. this is sinister and mustn't be allowed to stand because cancelling people is a danger to us all. >> and amy nicole, your nominee i >> -- >> so -- >>so| >> so i picked the evening standard. now i do not share the politics of susan hall, but this newspaper has proper stitched her up this week and it wound me up so much. women face a really tough time in politics, and she trusted that photographer . and trusted that photographer. and they picked that photo which the commentary of has just been ageist, misogynistic . it's just

ageist, misogynistic. it's just been such an ugly reaction . and been such an ugly reaction. and she does not deserve it, despite it having no political alignment with her whatsoever. >> so many people posting this picture and saying, oh, congratulations to steve khan on winning a third term. >> i'm sorry. actually, once you get to know susan hall, who is a brit woman with brilliant conservative policies, with a huge passion for london, you're going to be mistaken. and actually shaun bailey, you were, of course, the former tory candidate for the london mayoralty . and a very similar mayoralty. and a very similar thing happened you, didn't thing happened with you, didn't it? written because it? you were written off because everyone would be everyone said khan would be impossible to beat and actually you got so close that if only people had supported you from the might have had the start, you might have had a chance of beating that numbskull out of office. >> susan is a tough cookie and this photographer and even standard took advantage of her. she didn't want to take the picture and she did to help them. and they took hundreds of pictures their posters, one pictures and their posters, one deliberately to make her look bad. in public bad. and for women in public life, is terrifying. this
