overnight. the overnight. actually, the by—election results are in. you'll notice because you cut legally, you can't. we didn't legally, you can't. so we didn't really about yesterday really talk about it yesterday apart they're apart from to say they're happening. big day happening. but what a big day for tories. three seats for the tories. three tory seats and course were told and of course we were told weren't the tories were weren't we, the tories were going lose all three. yeah going to lose all three. yeah pretty it is a bit of pretty much. but it is a bit of a mixed bag. huge conservative majorities have overturned, majorities have been overturned, labour ainsty labour winning selby and ainsty , somerton and has gone to , somerton and frome has gone to the back to the liberal democrat i >> -- >> it's however, the tories have managed to defend boris johnson's former seat of uxbndge johnson's former seat of uxbridge and south ruislip, which is a shock , frankly . which is a shock, frankly. >> who can we talk to first? well, let's see if we can. oh, there's. there's all three of us. i'll tell you what we'll do. we'll go to anna riley, first and foremost, because she's the latest result to have come in. annai latest result to have come in. anna i mean, a big win for the labour party and expected win in some respects, but they've ended up with a very, very young mp now .

how. >> now. >> good morning. yes, people here in the selby and ainsty constituency will be waking up to the news that they have a labour mp kia marva and as you said, he will be the youngest mp in parliament, aged just 25. and this is a real blow for the conservative as this area has been. conservative as this area has been . it was created the been. it was created the constituency in 2010 and it's been tory ever since it was created. it's made up of towns and rural villages and it's a constituency that conservatives thought was in with the bag. so a real boost for labour here in the area. they won with a majority of 4161. they had 61,456 votes, compared . to 61,456 votes, compared. to 12,295 cast for the tory candidate , claire holmes. the candidate, claire holmes. the turnout was 44% here. that was down 30 points from the 2019, an

election when 72% of people turned out to vote . and 80,159 turned out to vote. and 80,159 were eligible to turn out. and vote here. so this loss means that, like i said, for the first time, it will since this constituency was created in 2010, it won't be represented by the tories . now, the vote, the the tories. now, the vote, the by—election was happened here after nigel adams, the mp, stood down. he was a close ally of bofis down. he was a close ally of boris johnson, but when he didn't get his peerage on the 12th of june, he stood down as mp. so that's how long people here have been without an mp waiting for this by—election speaking to people here in the area, one of the key reasons is why labour may have got in was that it's in the top 40 seats in england and wales for people that have got mortgages and obviously they have been hammered by rising interest rates. so that was something that labour really went in on on its campaign and we've got a clip from keir. martha after he

won this area and this is what he's got to say. >> i understand the enormity of what has just happened . i know what has just happened. i know what has just happened. i know what an honour this is and i am humbled by this opportunity to serve in this campaign. we have rewritten the rules on where labour can win . people have labour can win. people have opened their doors to us and embraced our positive vision for the future and thousands of the votes cast yesterday were in labour's box for the very first time for those of you who have put your faith in our party, thank you . and it was a swing of thank you. and it was a swing of at least 17.9% that was needed for labour to win the seat here and they needed a they need a nationwide change of 12% to form a majority in the next election. >> and on the night the swing that they had was 23.7% and a similar swing in the general election would give labour more

seats than they won in 1997, when tony blair's new labour came in. so we'll be getting reaction throughout the morning and throughout the day. speaking to people here in selby and ainsty constituency about their new mp and what they want from keir, martha . keir, martha. >> okay, anna, thanks very much indeed. >> well, jeff moody, let's go to him now. he's in lib dems newest west country seat in somerset and frome. good morning to you, jeff. quite a result there, sir. ed davey's saying that this puts the liberal democrats firmly back in the west country . well back in the west country. well that's right. >> it's certainly a shock result , but it's not a surprise result . in fact, it would have been a greater surprise if they hadn't romped to victory last night. they were certainly the lib dems were certainly expecting to. and in fact, they called the result shortly after the ballot boxes started arriving here at the western bath show ground in shepton mallet last night . they

shepton mallet last night. they called the result incredibly early . but called the result incredibly early. but what is surprising is the size of that swing. they've gone from a 19,000 conservative majority to an 11,000 liberal democrat majority . and this democrat majority. and this comes just a year after what was a real shock result down in tiverton and honiton when the lib dems beat the tories very, very decisively and really started to sound the death knell for boris johnson government. that by—election was as a result of neil parish having to resign after being caught watching in the house of commons. his tractor. this this election was the result of another scandal. david warburton has been accused of drug related offences and also of sexual misconduct. he has admitted to the drug offences but he denies the sexual misconduct. but he has been forced out. but he had also

really been missing in action for 18 months and that means that the lib dems really had a kick start here. they knew that the by—election was coming at some point . they didn't know some point. they didn't know when exactly, but they have had a lot of time to prepare for this now , sir ed davey is this now, sir ed davey is expected in frome later on this morning to declare this as a decisive victory . the first decisive victory. the first step, really, in reclaiming the west country , the west country. west country, the west country. traditionally, in the days of paddy ashdown and before, you know, in the 80s, in the 90s and the early 2000, it was very, very much a liberal democrat stronghold down here in the west country. but they were decimated in 2015. and so for sir ed davey, the hope now is that these two decisive results in fact, they've had four by—election results in recent years. so they're looking at that as a very, very healthy sign that they can retake the

west country. well the new mp here, sarah, led a faltering campaign to start with. she conducted a totally car crash interview very, very early on. and it's been very circumspect in terms of the number of interviews she's been given since she's sort of had her fingers burned slightly by not being prepared enough . in that being prepared enough. in that first interview she gave. but they have had a very, very good and a very strong campaign down here, much stronger than any of the other parties. you can just see that by the sheer number of posters around town and what people are saying when you go door to door . people are saying when you go door to door. let's people are saying when you go door to door . let's have a look door to door. let's have a look what she to say when she what she had to say when she declared her victory early on this i promise to be an this morning. i promise to be an mp standing up for you in westminster tonight. >> has been a stunning and historic victory for the liberal democrats , and it shows once and

democrats, and it shows once and for all for the liberal democrats that are back in the west country . west country. >> and of course, all eyes now are on the general election , are on the general election, which could be somewhere around a year away. we always think traditionally of labour versus conservative, but down here there's going to be a lot of conservative mps in the west country who are now looking over their shoulders, looking at their shoulders, looking at their liberal democrat candidates as their main opposition, the ones for them to beat. >> okay, thank you very much for that, jeff moody. >> let's head to boris johnson's former seat then, which didn't have a very big majority, actually, uxbridge in south ruislip and paul hawkins is there for us this morning. paul i mean, look, this is the one glimmer of hope for the tories and actually a real surprise . and actually a real surprise. >> yeah, it's all about ulez here. let's be honest . the other here. let's be honest. the other to give you a little bit of an

inkung to give you a little bit of an inkling of where the national picture may be politically, but here where it was all about local issues, the conservative party , the local candidate who's party, the local candidate who's now the conservative mp for uxbndge now the conservative mp for uxbridge and south ruislip, steve tuckwell , who we'll hear steve tuckwell, who we'll hear from in just a moment. he made this all about ulez and also that will give susan hall, who's recently been announced as the conservative candidate for london mayor some hope as well. next year we're thinking she may turn up in uxbridge later today. so we may hear her thoughts on that. so we may hear her thoughts on that . but it all about ulez. that. but it was all about ulez. it was all over the promotional material . steve tuckwell making material. steve tuckwell making it not that, but also it about not just that, but also his connections the his local connections to the area. hillingdon area. he's born in. hillingdon raised in hillingdon, schooled in hillingdon. raised in hillingdon, schooled in hillingdon . he's a local in hillingdon. he's a local councillor, he's a former royal mail manager. so really interesting as well that on his promotional material that was distributed did 19 times you saw a mention of the local hillingdon borough of mayor. not once did you see rishi sunaks name mentioned, which was really

interesting. but yeah, a 495 seat majority, a wafer thin majority now. i mean, it wasn't big to start with. 5500 down to 495 seats. they needed a recount. so there was a little bit of drama. about 10 to 2 in the morning, they announced there was going to be a recount. and then an hour later, the result came through. but here is the mp for uxbridge and the new mp for uxbridge and south ruislip, steve tuckwell . south ruislip, steve tuckwell. >> has been a >> by election has been a referendum on ulez. it's absolutely been clear what the people of uxbridge and south ruislip they don't want ruislip want. they don't want ulez expanded and sadiq khan needs listen to the result of needs to listen to the result of this by—election wasn't this by—election i wasn't expecting labour were expecting to win it. labour were this this by—election has cost well labour have lost this by—election because of the ulez expansion and i'm incredibly proud to have been elected tonight represent the people tonight to represent the people in community that i've spent in the community that i've spent all . yeah all of my life. yeah >> so interestingly, danny beale , who was the labour candidate, also distancing himself from ulez as well, saying now's not the time to expand it to the

outer london boroughs because of the cost of living crisis. so certainly in the capital, ulez is going to play a really important factor in restricting what potentially could be big labour gains. >> okay, paul, thank you . >> okay, paul, thank you. >> okay, paul, thank you. >> well, joining us now from westminster is our political reporter, olivia . good morning reporter, olivia. good morning to you, olivia . i'm really to you, olivia. i'm really interested to get your analysis on this because rishi sunak has avoided that by—election in clean sweep that we've been talking about for several weeks now , but still two very heavy now, but still two very heavy losses for the tories . losses for the tories. >> good morning, ellie. yes, it has been a really pretty bad night for the conservatives. it is some comfort to them that they have won uxbridge . that was they have won uxbridge. that was a bit of a surprise . but as paul a bit of a surprise. but as paul mentioned there, that really is all ulez. it's a very all about ulez. it's a very specific nick. local concern , a specific nick. local concern, a concern that's important to a lot of people in that london commuter belt, but not so much in the rest of the country. might be making sadiq khan quite

nervous this morning, but probably not keir starmer. as for other two seats, the for the other two seats, the tories can about comfort tories can just about comfort themselves that in somerton and frome, dems really have frome, the lib dems really have thrown the resources that thrown all the resources that they've got at this by—election as jeff moody mentioned , there as jeff moody mentioned, there have been leaflets absolute everywhere and the lib dems because they have held lots of seats in the south—west historically, they have a pretty big campaigning base on the ground . it's also that by ground. it's also true that by elections people will go and vote a sort of protest vote for a sort of protest party, a general party, whereas in a general election they think election they will think i either labour , labour or either want labour, labour or the conservatives govern me the conservatives to govern me in by—election. when the in a by—election. when the government isn't actually changing , they're able use changing, they're able to use a sort of protest vote that said this massive swing, a swing of 29 points away from the conservatives in that south—west seat, will be really quite worrying for the tories. i think, however, the most worrying bit of all will be that selby loss. that's a swing of 24 points from the conservatives to labour, points from the conservatives to labour , the conservatives that labour, the conservatives that labour, the conservatives that labour only needs a swing of 12

points in a general election to be to have to have a working majority, a big majority really in parliament. so that's going to be a real, real blow if the conservatives and already we're seeing labour coming out with a lot of lines, a lot of quite scary historical lines for the conservatives , it's the biggest conservatives, it's the biggest by—election win in the post war penod. by—election win in the post war period . for example, it is the period. for example, it is the biggest swing from one party to from from the from a government party to a direct opposition party to a direct opposition party in sort of 30, 40 years. it is a very bad night for the conservatives. there's a little bit of comfort there in uxbridge and i think even though somerton was a big majority, they were expecting to see it overturned just that lib just because of that huge lib dem presence. but selby , there's dem presence. but selby, there's no at all and rishi sunak no excuse at all and rishi sunak will be quaking in his boots this morning. it's interesting, though, isn't it, when you look at the turnout for selby , i at the turnout for selby, i think it was 44, wasn't it? >> which obviously is way down

on what you'd expect for a general election. well, that gives a little bit of cold comfort , doesn't it, that it comfort, doesn't it, that it would imply that perhaps a lot of tory voters have just stayed away ? away? >> well, absolutely. and it's very easy for us political nerds, well, me political nerds to get overexcited by—election results and start trying to sort of extrapolate results from by—election onto a general election. but as you say , there election. but as you say, there are lots of reasons why we can't really do that. turnout in by elections is very, very low . as elections is very, very low. as you say, there are sort of shy tory voters or or pretty apathetic tory voters who wouldn't bother to turn up for a by—election when it doesn't matter. i mean, the government isn't going to be changing, but would come out and vote tory in a general election. i think we can expect to the can expect to see the conservatives that quite conservatives saying that quite a lot over the next few days by elections at this time in the yeah elections at this time in the year. i mean, we're getting we're getting well past halfway through the electoral season. we're getting close to general

election expect election time. one does expect that incumbent party to make losses in by elections. the only thing is the swing is just so big , 24 thing is the swing is just so big, 24 points thing is the swing is just so big , 24 points when labour would big, 24 points when labour would only need a 12 point swing for a for a full on majority and only a seven point swing for a working majority . so yes, there working majority. so yes, there is a bit of comfort there for the conservatives, but not very much. >> i mean the results do show that the conservatives do have a lot to be concerned about with about 12 to 18 months before a general election. how will rishi sunak be feeling this morning and where does he go from here? >> rishi sunak will be feeling pretty bleak this morning. i think he has been expecting this for a while, so it won't come as too much of a shock . there's too much of a shock. there's talk of a reshuffle. there's even talk of a reshuffle as soon as today day essentially, because he quite like to distract some attention. he's hoping if he can change up his top team . i think what we can

top team. i think what we can expect to see is some more campaigning ministers and those ministers who've had a lot of experience on the electoral trail promoted to more senior positions. we might see a for promotion michael gove, who always does pretty well on the campaign trail. rishi sunak will be, as we have seen every time he comes into difficulty, he carries on talking about his five pledges. and of course we did see inflation go down yesterday. that will be some comfort to him. but the small boats pledge that probably the most important of his five pledges, the one that polls the best in focus groups anyway, he doesn't seem to be making a huge amount of progress. yes, the small boats bill, the illegal asylum bill has got through parliament, but we are yet to see rwanda flights actually taking off. so until rishi sunak can show that he really is delivering on those five priorities, as he puts it, he's in a lot of trouble . in a lot of trouble. >> well, olivia, we're very pleased you're a political nerd because it's very useful on days

like this. thank you very much indeed. i'll tell you what is slightly controversial and i'm very wary that i don't want to seem anti young people. okay. >> i know where this is going, but a 25 year old mp went to uni i >> -- >> fair enough. so but johnny mercer has gone on the attack a little bit. the veterans minister and said, you know, he spent longer at university than he has in another job. yeah he has in anotherjob. yeah before becoming an mp and therefore has no experience of life . so he's responded to that, life. so he's responded to that, saying, well , i pay my taxes saying, well, i pay my taxes like anybody else. i understand the pressures that people that people face. i don't know. >> it's very , very, very young, >> it's very, very, very young, isn't it? i was saying outside the newsroom, it's a year younger than my little brother, which is a terrifying prospect . which is a terrifying prospect. >> what do you think i feel, though? how do you think i feel ? i mean, look, i know policemen and doctors get younger when you get older , but mps at 25 have

get older, but mps at 25 have making decisions that affect all of us. i'm i'm not entirely convinced that that there shouldn't be like a sort of 30 yean shouldn't be like a sort of 30 year, you know, you've got to be 30 at least before you can stand as an mp or something. >> rule well, generally you have a career first, don't you? and then become an mp, whether that's journalism local that's journalism or local government, as we just in government, as we just saw in the uxbridge results, but very, very rarely do you go straight into being mp, which is what into being an mp, which is what we've seen pretty much happen here. >> maybe i'm being unfair. yeah maybe unfair. maybe at maybe it's unfair. maybe at 25 he's lots to offer . i don't he's got lots to offer. i don't know . maybe it's just me getting know. maybe it's just me getting older. well, if you're. >> i don't know if you're in selby and ainsty this morning, do let us know what you make of that. you are being represented by year kim. martha what by 25 year old kim. martha what do make of that? perhaps you do you make of that? perhaps you voted you did, why voted for him. if you did, why let know. vaiews@gbnews.com. let us know. vaiews@gbnews.com. very, very young though. >> 25 is it is it would he be

625. >> morning to you. this is breakfast with stephen and ellie. yes >> now, unless you've been living under a rock, you will know that the most hotly anticipated films of the summer will be in cinemas from today. >> yes, barbie and oppenheimer. could you get two more different movies , both of which have got movies, both of which have got rave reviews from the critics for very different reasons? >> yes. >> yes. >> well, joining us in the studio this morning is our lovely stephanie takyi. >> good morning, ellie. relief is released. i think a lot of cinema fans have been counting down the days. if not months. we've on social media or on internet. we've seen what's been trending. barbie hyman heimer so which is a combination of barbie and oppenheimer, as you said , and oppenheimer, as you said, like they are two complete different films. but what they've done is they've made wanting to go to the cinema fun again. rarely have we had blockbusters which have been spoken about the way barbie's been spoken about, and oppenheimer so what's been all

the fuss about ? obviously, the fuss about? obviously, barbie ultimate female barbie is the ultimate female flick where we're seeing the iconic fashion doll being brought to life by margot robbie and has been directed by greta gerwig . and i thought she's done gerwig. and i thought she's done an where, on the an amazing job where, on the other hand, oppenheimer more an amazing job where, on the othmature,oppenheimer more an amazing job where, on the oth mature audiences mer more an amazing job where, on the oth mature audiences .1er more an amazing job where, on the oth mature audiences . it' more an amazing job where, on the oth mature audiences . it stars ore for mature audiences. it stars cillian murphy and it's looking at the father of the atomic bomb. j. r oppen heimer it's quite dark. it's quite serious, andifs quite dark. it's quite serious, and it's directed by christopher nolan, who a lot of film buffs respect and love and even though people have been putting this down as the ultimate cinema showdown , actors across both showdown, actors across both films have said actually , we films have said actually, we like cillian murphy. he says he's to with his family he's going to go with his family to watch barbie. likewise, to watch barbie. and likewise, margot she wants to margot robbie says she wants to see oppenheimer. so it's just brought some fun back into the cinemas again. >> what surprised me look something oppenheimer. i something like oppenheimer. i would want to go and see. would always want to go and see. yeah, it just looks fun and well done and really, really well done. yeah. and barbie is not my, you know, why would i want

to go and see a movie about a barbie doll? you know what i mean? it makes no sense to me at all. and yet the spin around it sort of makes me think i've got to go and see that. i know. >> weird. and this is what's happened with these two movies. i think for barbie, there's this sense of fomo, which stands for fear missing and think fear of missing out and i think even it's not your thing, even if it's not your thing, because been much because there's been so much marketing around it, even when i went the cinema on monday, went to the cinema on monday, i saw a lot of men wearing pink and wearing people are and denim wearing it. people are getting up go to getting dressed up to go to barbie to watch so because barbie to watch it. so because it's marketed so well, it's been marketed so well, curiosity lot of curiosity is killing a lot of cats they want to go see it. cats and they want to go see it. and likewise oppenheimer , and likewise with oppenheimer, you the people who you find that the people who watch might thinking, watch barbie might be thinking, actually, to know bit actually, i want to know a bit more about because it's more about history because it's a subject when you're a very dense subject when you're talking about the atomic bomb. so again, there's more curiosity surrounding that film as well. and just this weekend alone in america , oppenheimer tipped america, oppenheimer is tipped to take about $40 million while barbie is tipped to take $100 million. wow. but i think

oppenheimer will be it for the long run . it's a slow burner. long run. it's a slow burner. mature audiences are going to wait to see the reviews and see what's available with the film . what's available with the film. >> i mean, as you say, stephanie, marketing around both films, especially barbie. films, but especially barbie. i mean, they deserve a raise . mean, they deserve a raise. those teams, it's been those marketing teams, it's been everywhere , hasn't has, everywhere, hasn't it? it has, but what about the whispers of awards because we've seen awards then? because we've seen it everywhere. everyone's talking about it and you're saying, you know, it matches up the reviews looking good. the reviews are looking good. yeah. what about award season? >> think oppenheimer will >> i think oppenheimer will do well especially well in award season, especially for because he's for cillian murphy, because he's gone a drastic makeover to gone under a drastic makeover to play gone under a drastic makeover to play j.r. play this part of jr. oppenheimer. rumour has it he was only eaten an almond a day . was only eaten an almond a day. like he looked very scrawny in this film and he has an amazing cast in this. you support him, including matt damon and florence pugh and emily blunt. where barbie, what happens? barbie will be a box office smash. but when it comes to awards season, i find a lot of comedies don't make it to get the oscars and stuff, but it's

definitely cemented its name in film history. >> it's won for barbie is it one for the kids, one for the girls, or is it actually a film for everyone ? everyone? >> unfortunately, i don't think it's a film for everyone. it was rated 12 a and i didn't understand, but then when i watched realised there's watched it, i realised there's a lot of topics. it talks about a lot of topics. it talks about a lot of topics. it talks about a lot of language, it uses where i think as a parent, if you haven't explored that with your children, want children, you might not want them it. it's quite them to watch it. it's quite a comedy, but it deals with a lot of themes, which i thought of adult themes, which i thought , don't if i'd want my , i don't know if i'd want my godchildren to watch it. >> so a it's a teenage and >> so it's a it's a teenage and adult. >> it's a teenage and adult movie, which is the only flaw, i think, with barbie. i think, you know, want make it know, you want to make it universal. want everyone you universal. you want everyone you want year to go watch want a five year old to go watch it. and i don't think they can, to honest. to be honest. >> what taking your boyfriend? >> oh, 110. what i loved i don't want to give away too much to our viewers, but it's very much about battle of the sexes about the battle of the sexes and the identity what women and the identity of what women play and the identity of what women play and what play. the play and what men play. and the ken's really explored all that.

and i think it's a good reflection of how society is now at so think men at the moment. so i think men can it and do think can watch it and i do think there's a for a ken spin there's a room for a ken spin off. you heard it here. oh, really? i do think ryan gosling will take the lead a lot of people saying, did they people were saying, why did they cast ryan gosling? he's a bit too for but i thought too old for it, but i thought he'd done amazing as ken and he looks good. sorry. looks looks good. sorry. he looks really good in it. but yeah, i think men can enjoy it as well. just that yin and yang between men and women, it's explored a lot in the film. >> it's so annoying in a way. i feel like we haven't had good film releases in cinema for a really, really long time and now i've got to blockbusters really coming out on the same day. >> it's been exciting early because everyone's got because i think everyone's got too in this netflix and too much in this netflix and chill culture and amazon's kind of they just want to of thing where they just want to stream where this it kind of makes you want to go to the cinema and watch something . and cinema and watch something. and i that's what's been i think that's what's been exciting quite exciting and what's been quite surprising . we've had films such surprising. we've had films such as jones and last week

as indiana jones and last week mission impossible came out and they haven't got those bums on seats that we were expecting. so i think it's been quite interesting that now there's this excitement to to the this excitement to go to the cinemas . this excitement to go to the cinemas. cinemas have been facing such a battle to stay open and i think they're just such part such a good part of entertainment. weekend, entertainment. so this weekend, if anyone can go to your local cinema , i'll be doing that. cinema, i'll be doing that. >> i need to get booked. yeah, i want to see both. >> i'm taking steven to barbie. are you? yes. i'm going to convert you, right? >> don't i'm intrigued. >> i don't know. i'm intrigued. yeah, that's the thing is i'm intrigued it. intrigued by it. >> because i'm telling you >> it's because i'm telling you the promo has been everywhere. you miss subconsciously . you can't miss subconsciously. you're right. it's the fomo. fear of missing out. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yep. i think we need to get booked. >> all right. >> all right. >> okay. fair dos. dos dos. >> okay. fair dos. dos dos. >> team visit. >> team visit. >> team visit. i'll >> team visit. i'll do >> team visit. i'll do that. steph, thanks very much indeed. >> research all in the name of work. >> y i thought you were a >> oh, see, i thought you were a netflix and sort of girl. netflix and chill sort of girl. >> i do like netflix. that's the chill. netflix. but do chill. like netflix. but i do love to going the cinema and i can't wait to be back in a

writer and journalist candice holdsworth, alongside broadcaster and podcast host sean mcdonald . good morning to sean mcdonald. good morning to you both. good morning . good to you both. good morning. good to see you, sean. let's start with you, shall we? and this is a story that's been dominating the papers for the last few days. it is this d banking scandal of nigel farage and he's got his apology. >> yeah, de—man alison rose, the chief exec of natwest, has apologised to him now, says a subsidiary , i believe subsidiary of natwest, i believe 39% of which is owned by the taxpayer. yes. and they have. yeah. they've come out and said they apologise for the deeply inappropriate dossier comments inappropriate dossier comments in which it was leaked out to a bbc reporter that simon jack i think his name is that the reason for the closure of nigel farage? his account was that he had failed to meet the required threshold for amount of cash threshold for the amount of cash and account. i think that and the account. i think that was quickly proven to not be the case, and was debunked. and case, and it was debunked. and i think now nigel is think now nigel farage is demanding answers and nigel farage is not someone that i agree with in the slightest. in

fact, i could not be more diametrically opposed to him if i tried. i'm pretty much everything , but i think pretty everything, but i think pretty much across the board here and across the political spectrum are in agreement that you cannot be divulging personal be divulging people's personal banking information. fact, banking information. in fact, nigel farage himself said that he accepts that lives a very he accepts that he lives a very pubuc he accepts that he lives a very public life and all of his information is out the information is out in the public. would expect that public. but he would expect that his bank manager, his doctor, his bank manager, his doctor, his and accountant his lawyer and his accountant can purse personal can hold his purse personal information securely. i think we all expect that, don't we? exactly and so i think even with the apology, he's pushing for an explanation why is this happened . and again, some of the people coming out to bat for him , i coming out to bat for him, i think, what if you're opposed to nigel farage, you're going to see like donald trump's sons coming out to support him and various other people that you're going to be opposed to. and when ihear going to be opposed to. and when i hear these people speak, i'll be gets my back up. be honest, it gets my back up. however, to put however, again, you have to put that to the side and you have to recognise cannot be denying recognise you cannot be denying people access to banking

facilities. now there is the argument this a very argument that this is a very commercial you know, the commercial bank. you know, the bank the queen that they bank for the queen and that they don't to take everyone's don't have to take everyone's business, manner in business, but it's the manner in which done. it's, it's which it's been done. it's, it's quite if, if banks quite worrying if, if banks control who can have an account based their political opinion based on their political opinion that banks political control. >> yeah. which is cannot be right and you know banks don't have to be taking people's business that does happen where they do they do allow and they do they do allow people and say you you're no longer say listen you you're no longer going to we're no longer going to be we're no longer going to be we're no longer going you banking facilities. >> that something that >> that is something that happens. but think it is the happens. but i think it is the manner the there was manner and the way there was a statement or there was like a dossier, again, which, you know, was which called him was leaked, which called him racist, misogynistic was leaked, which called him riwhether misogynistic was leaked, which called him riwhether are nisogynistic was leaked, which called him riwhether are your ynistic . whether those are your opinions , you can't a bank opinions, you can't a bank cannot conduct themselves in this way. and you're right, it puts us on a slippery slope. yeah. >> i mean, we're supposed to be a pluralistic society , and this a pluralistic society, and this is a huge that. and is a huge blow for that. and i think nigel farage, mean, what think nigel farage, i mean, what he to uncover with that he was able to uncover with that subject access request and to actually see reasoning actually see the reasoning behind his banking account being

removed. . like removed. it's so true. like people across the political spectrum have come together and said this is sinister. i mean, you have this sort of you cannot have this sort of power. it's going on for a power. it's been going on for a while, though. financial de—platforming, mostly de—platforming, but it's mostly happened people have happened to people who have a much lower profile and much fewer resources at their disposal to challenge it . disposal to challenge it. >> and that's why in a sense, it's been a very good thing for nigel speech publicly nigel speech so publicly about this, there will be this, because there will be people have debunked people who have been debunked and de—platformed who aren't able . able. >> exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> do about it. it's >> to do anything about it. it's very interesting, though, the timing this, because timing of all of this, because nigel made any secret nigel has never made any secret of his political views very, very strange that this would only happen now. now, yes . only happen now. now, yes. >> well, the telegraph is reporting it's this dame alison jones. is it? sorry, alison rose. rose. sorry she has sort of taken the bank in a certain political direction. you know, prioritising so—called diversity and inclusion, although she's not being very inclusive of getting rid of people she doesn't agree with. yeah, yeah. >> feel she would argue >> i feel that she would argue the paradox of was it

intolerance. you don't tolerate intolerance. you don't tolerate intolerance as per her beliefs. i'm not saying i'm not making any sort of assumptions or assertions about nigel farage, but yet a slippery slope but yet it's a slippery slope andifs but yet it's a slippery slope and it's one that you should we should push against. i would say. >> yeah, i think there's a lot more to come out on this. i don't think that apology was enough of an apology. >> so he's now got the >> no. and so he's now got the right to request. you have the legal request the legal right to request the information which information in which a corporation entity holds on corporation or entity holds on you 30 and you and within 30 days and i think within this now 30 day block, it's probably going to be a lot more embarrassment for natwest coots. natwest and coots. >> so. >> yeah, i think so. >> yeah, i think so. >> he's actually asked for them to be questioned by mps on the issue. >> now needs to be so yeah i think will this will run think this will this will run and run. >> candace, let's to you >> candace, let's go to you shall we? and the front page of the times about tax breaks for office check ups. >> this is a really >> so this is a really interesting on front interesting story on the front page times. apparently page of the times. apparently the government looking at the government is looking at offering breaks to offering companies tax breaks to offering companies tax breaks to offer occupational health check ups for employees because there's this big problem now of

a huge number of on out a huge number of people on out of benefits , sickness. and of work benefits, sickness. and a lot of it's to do with mental health amongst younger people. so saying now if so they're saying if now that if companies could on you companies could focus on you know, more community focus, more preventative medicine, they will incentives size them to do so through the various tax schemes because this is becoming such a burden on the state. now, the amount of people who are off work sick. i think there is work sick. and i think there is some thinking that rather than waiting until people really waiting until people are really chronically they can't chronically ill and they can't work, looking, work, let's start looking, looking them down looking after them further down the line before they get sick. so there's this new thinking now instead of just like responding instead of just like responding in an emergency basis , let's in on an emergency basis, let's do lot more preventative care do a lot more preventative care . i think that this is just a crazy development, though. i mean, what going on? why mean, what is going on? why are people ill? to do with people so ill? is it to do with the lists? is it to do the waiting lists? is it to do with the fact that people can't access good mental health care amongst because it is amongst the young because it is very so you very expensive to pay, so you get depression anxiety , which get depression or anxiety, which happens a lot people if happens to a lot of people if you private health you don't have private health insurance . it's very expensive

insurance. it's very expensive to pocket and you to pay out of pocket and you won't it on the nhs unless won't get it on the nhs unless you ill. you are severely ill. >> i know this sounds really >> and i know this sounds really harsh because and don't get me wrong, i do believe there are people who are off sick people who who are off sick because are do because they are ill. i do believe are people who believe there are people who have health and believe there are people who havthe health and believe there are people who havthe rest health and believe there are people who havthe rest oeralth and believe there are people who havthe rest of it..th and believe there are people who havthe rest of it. 11 and believe there are people who havthe rest of it. i do. and believe there are people who havthe rest of it. i do. i and believe there are people who havthe rest of it. i do. ijustnd all the rest of it. i do. ijust think there are too many people saying i've got you know, i'm i'm just not feeling it. therefore i'm depressed. >> there's of that >> oh, there's some of that going on. i mean, i don't know if the article in the if you saw the article in the times ago about the times a few weeks ago about the life coaches that department of work have been work and pensions have been hiring to get people back into work. and some it is just, work. and some of it is just, for instance, like they're not chronically ill, but they're just struggling out just struggling to fill out a job application and things like that. and they've had to bring life coaches get them to life coaches in to get them to do . yeah, for adults, for do it. yeah, for adults, for grown adults. seriously, it was very shocking . yeah, i'm very shocking. yeah, i'm slightly suspicious of it. >> i think it's a little bit. where's the let's get on with it, spirit . it, spirit. >> yeah. i mean, this is us. we're trying to summarise this

multifaceted, complex , deep multifaceted, complex, deep rooted sociopolitical chaotic mess that we're kind of in. it's very difficult. i think sometimes i find myself stating different opinions and one hand i'm like, oh, come on, man, are we better resilience? and that probably is needed. um, you know, i would just like to see people dig deep and other times i'm very sympathetic. i think it's a difficult times. live it's a difficult times. we live in confusing in the world is a confusing place . there is a cost of living place. there is a cost of living crisis , which i think is crisis, which i think is becoming a bit of a the. it's been so overused. yeah >> well yeah. and you know, i think but you're right. but i tell you what, i always fall back on is the way you brought up in some respects isn't it. i was always told and it's what my dad lived by the dad always lived by the world does not a living. yeah. does not owe you a living. yeah. so even if you are feeling you're really downward , unless you're really downward, unless you're really downward, unless you are crippled by it, you've got to get on because honestly, i agree with you. >> and it sometimes it could be seen as being really callous and

unsimple btec. but the world doesn't you favour. the doesn't owe you a favour. the world you anything. world doesn't owe you anything. and the world not fair. and yeah, the world is not fair. thatis and yeah, the world is not fair. that is one thing that is for definite. and sometimes have definite. and sometimes you have to through it's to just push through and it's good for you as well. >> i mean, in that article in the times about the life coaches, the one girl, i mean, she like 25 and she'd never she was like 25 and she'd never had a job, but she actually said, i can on holiday now. i said, i can go on holiday now. i can for car. it's like, can pay for a car. it's like, yes, there's freedom, there's independence. >> a reason to getting up in >> a reason to be getting up in the morning. >> yes. >> yes. >> well, perhaps we enable these people well. i think life people as well. i think so. life coaches, people fill coaches, when people can't fill out rather than saying, out a form rather than saying, here's pen on your pop, here's a pen on your pop, a better resilience , a bit of better resilience, a bit of pressure can be good for you. >> yeah , but that's you know, >> yeah, but that's you know, that's not to downplay some people that are. no. >> this is it. not >> well this is it. it's not black and white. yeah exactly. at the end of the day. exactly. but do need to be but i think we do need to be a little bit more resilient. let's have a look, sean, at the mirror. should we at prince andrew's in a bit more hot water? >> yes. the mirror basically >> yes. the mirror are basically saying second saying that this is the second most accusation in since the one

that he was, oh, i want to get my words carefully. yeah we know the one that we're talking about. yeah but basically, it's being alleged that to being alleged that according to court papers in america, that prince andrew claimed that after he learned of jeffrey epstein's conviction for soliciting an underage prostitute , that he underage prostitute, that he only met him once and that was to break off his friendship, as you do. yeah. always fly across the atlantic when someone's accused that type thing to accused of that type of thing to break it off in person. but it's now , according to emails that now, according to emails that have uncovered, they have been uncovered, they actually another actually met, i think another once or twice and they sat together dinner. together at dinner. >> it doesn't pay a good >> so it doesn't pay a good picture. no absolutely doesn't. we've got to it there . we've got to leave it there. sorry to say. sean, candace, thank you. we'll catch you both a little bit later on. and in the meantime, let's talk byelections, three byelections, should we? three byelections. lost two byelections. the tories lost two of those seats. let's talk to the conservative party chair , the conservative party chair, greg hands, who joins us now. good morning to you . i mean, i good morning to you. i mean, i imagine a little bit of cold

comfort that you've held onto the uxbridge and ruislip. but i mean, in those other two seats, absolutely massive swings against the tory party. how do you deal with that ? you deal with that? >> well, look, clearly, we're disappointed at the results in selby and ainsty and somerton and frome, and we'll listen carefully to the voters in those two constituencies. but you rightly point out that uxbridge was really the standout result . was really the standout result. everybody said that we were going to lose there. but steve tuckwell, mp , our fantastic tuckwell, mp, our fantastic qatar out there, has defied the odds and that was a labour were 25 to 1 on to win that seat. yet we have won it a campaign in really about one issue. but it has a wider thing here and that is that labour are very bad at running things. they can't run london sadiq khan has been a real failure as mayor of london. his ulez expat mission has been botched. kia starmer, meanwhile, has been flip flopping on it,

saying in inner london that he is pro ulez and then he arrives in outer london, appears to be backing his candidate who's expressing doubts about it . so expressing doubts about it. so it shows that keir starmer is somebody that you can't trust. if he says one thing in inner london, a different thing in outer london, this is somebody who is flip flopping and cannot outer london, this is somebody wh relied p flopping and cannot outer london, this is somebody wh relied upon.ping and cannot outer london, this is somebody wh relied upon. so; and cannot outer london, this is somebody wh relied upon. so iand cannot outer london, this is somebody wh relied upon. so i thinkannot be relied upon. so i think there's real issues here for laboun there's real issues here for labour. there'll be real questions in labour headquarters today about not gaining uxbridge i >> -- >> mr and lam >> mr and you say that uxbridge is the standout result. you could argue that it's actually selby and ainsty, which is the standout result here. that was a 19,000 tory majority that has swung to an 11,000 or sorry, that's that's the wrong one there. but labour have shattered that huge tory majority in selby and ainsty 23.7. sorry is the correct figure . 23.7% swing to correct figure. 23.7% swing to laboun correct figure. 23.7% swing to labour. there you only need a

12% swing for labour in the general election. for them to have a majority in the house of commons. so that is a momentous swing. the largest by—election win in post—war for britain. thatis win in post—war for britain. that is a terrifying prospect, isn't it, for the tory party ? isn't it, for the tory party? >> well, as i say, clearly we're disappointed by the result in selby and ainsty. we had a fantastic candidate in claire holmes, but what i would say is that result was driven largely by conservative voters , previous by conservative voters, previous conservative voters staying at home. clearly we've got work to do to win back the trust and confidence. we don't deny that rishi sunak has been in office now for nine months, working very hard against the five priorities of halving inflation, restoring growth , reducing debt, restoring growth, reducing debt, cutting hospital waiting lists and stopping the boats . that is and stopping the boats. that is still a work in progress. and stopping the boats. that is still a work in progress . we'll still a work in progress. we'll be fighting hard to regain that constituency next year. but i also point out that in uxbridge there's real lessons there.

there'll be real questions being asked in labour headquarters , asked in labour headquarters, there were 25 to 1 on to win that seat but have failed to win it. and that is a sign of the fact people don't have confidence. use of labour in power. last time around, labour left us with no money left labourin left us with no money left labour in london is not capable of running the city well for londoners. i'm a london mp myself. londoners see that labouris myself. londoners see that labour is not good at running things and they see that keir starmer is changing his views all the time . i'm depending on all the time. i'm depending on the audience that he has in front of him in inner london. he's pro ulez put him in outer london. he's suddenly expressing his doubts ulez and that his doubts about ulez and that is not forgive you've. is not forgive me, you've. i mean the country as prime minister, you have made that point. >> but the problem is you need a government and some would say a prime minister who can win you an election which is the argument that was made about bofis argument that was made about boris johnson of course. and boris johnson in of course. and the is that you've the problem is that you've you've with rishi sunak, you've lost two seats. and in fact , it

lost two seats. and in fact, it would seem sidique khan has won you uxbridge and ruislip rather than rishi sunak , who wasn't than rishi sunak, who wasn't even mentioned at any of the campaign literature. i mean, that's a you've really got to address that, haven't you ? address that, haven't you? >> well, that's why we're the prime minister is working hard against the five priorities. those are the people's priorities. that is work in progress. we've had some good news this week. first of all, the headline rate of inflation coming down from 8.7 to 7.9. we've passed the illegal migration bill, which allows us to take tougher action on the boats. so that is all work in progress. but i do say there are real questions for labour in failing to gain uxbridge . it's failing to gain uxbridge. it's a sign that people don't have confidence in labour as a party of government and don't have confidence in sir keir starmer's view . this is confidence in sir keir starmer's view. this is somebody who changes his view on on to suit him, to get him through that day. he says one thing in in london, a different thing in

outer london greg hands good to talk to you this morning. >> thank you very much indeed. appreciate that. thank you. and love your views on this one. i mean, it's fascinating. we always say , you know, by always say, you know, by elections do not predict a general election. it's a chance to have, you know, to show your frustration. however far the government's got to take this very seriously, get more analysis coming up, very seriously, get more analysis coming up , that warm analysis coming up, that warm feeling inside made from boxt boilers is proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. good morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here of your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office touch of a cool start where we've held on clear where we've held on to clear skies overnight is skies overnight and there is a bit of sunshine around, but for northern ireland, southern scotland northern england northern ireland, southern s(island northern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite northern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudythern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from the land northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from the word it is quite cloudy from the word go. few scattered showers in go. a few scattered showers in there. will be there. that cloud will be progressing across the progressing its way across the rest and wales rest of england and wales throughout the day. so the sunshine perhaps turning a bit hazier best of the hazier later on. best of the sunshine, across sunshine, perhaps across southwestern scotland

don't know when in the next year probably could be as late as sort of early 20, 25. but it's likely to be at some point next year. likely to be at some point next year . johnny ramsgate says year. johnny ramsgate says absolutely no difference between the three established political parties at westminster. it's interesting . i wouldn't agree interesting. i wouldn't agree with you, john, on that one, but there's not a i know what you mean. there's not a huge difference. yes, but but it's the point is, if that's your perception , then that's worrying perception, then that's worrying for all three parties. actually >> well, that's interesting because david says these by—election results are probably a truer reflection of the gap between the parties because the majority at the last election was skewed by the anti jeremy jeremy corbyn factor, which gave bofis jeremy corbyn factor, which gave boris johnson an abnormal majority. >> well , that's interesting that >> well, that's interesting that is interesting. and jeremy corbyn was was definitely i mean, that that was definitely a turn off for a lot of voters ,

turn off for a lot of voters, wasn't it? but then there's an argument to say which a lot of analysts say, which is keir starmer is not. he's not a tony blair who had very much an appeal blair who had very much an appeal, but still is . then you appeal, but still is. then you could say rishi sunak isn't a bofis could say rishi sunak isn't a boris johnson in terms of that sort of appeal. johnny mercer has weighed into one of the by—election, one of one of the mps elected the labour mp , keir mps elected the labour mp, keir mather is 25. johnny mercer, the veterans minister, has had a bit of a dig sort of saying, well, what sort of experience? he's just going to recite whatever keir starmer tells him to say. john, another john says with john, anotherjohn says with johnny mercer making that remark , it just shows the tit for tat. the british public are going to have to listen to for the next 12 to 18 months. i mean, there's going to be a lot of that. >> yeah, there is. well, it's got lots of you talking this morning. graham says kim either is young, no life is too young, no life experience. the voters to experience. the voters have to vote for the candidate. they're given they want labour to

given if they want labour to win. vote for him. win. they had to vote for him. will very interesting see will be very interesting to see what a general what happens at a general election, says it's a election, helen says it's a tactical by the labour tactical stride by the labour party to younger voters. party to win younger voters. >> interesting andrew says. how about judge this man on his about we judge this man on his actions and not his age? he's been legally elected . give him been legally elected. give him the opportunity to do the job. i think it's very rude to concentrate on his age and c.j. says why worry about his age ? says why worry about his age? most of the 50 to 70 year old mps are completely useless. >> well, yeah, you could argue that he's going to have energy. he's going to come in young and bright bushy tails with good bright and bushy tails with good ideas. hopefully and pamela makes the same point . how about makes the same point. how about mps are it works mps who are too old? it works both ways. ryan in singapore makes an interesting point. oh, thank makes an interesting point. oh, tha yes , he does point that out >> yes, he does point that out to be churchill, he says was 25 when became and then when he became an mp and then led us to victory at the wall. middle aged already well represented the commons. we represented in the commons. we need more voices in need more younger voices in parliament, suppose. 25 in parliament, i suppose. 25 in churchill's day was different.

was it to 25 now? i think i mean, look, people were getting married at sort of 16, 17, 18 back then and all that sort of thing. so i think it was it's a bit different. i think 25 in churchill's day is probably more like early 30s now. yeah. whereas 25 you're probably whereas 25 now you're probably still at with mum still living at home with mum and especially if you're in and dad, especially if you're in the south the country . but the south of the country. but however, it's interesting, i mean, says madness, the 25 mean, karen says madness, the 25 year olds want see in year olds want to see in parliament, but, if it's parliament, but, but if it's interesting that it's a that it's a mixed bag on this one. and we was told it was going to be a clean sweep, didn't we? >> that's what we were told. >> that's what we were told. >> yeah, but it's interesting. you don't want to dismiss someone because of their age, do you? but but i think it's legitimate to question what experience can bring to experience they can bring to the house commons. is house of commons. there is always debate about whether always this debate about whether mps politicians mps should be career politicians or whether they should bring life experience to the chamber . life experience to the chamber. yeah, i mean , it's a difficult yeah, i mean, it's a difficult one. i don't know. i don't know

what the right answer is to that. i don't know. >> well, do let us know. really, really interesting. as stephen says, it's a mixed bag on what you think of 25 years old. you think of that 25 years old. her majesty the queen. yes her late majesty the queen. yes ascended to the throne at 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat to the throne at 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat a» the throne at 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat a great hrone at 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat a great job1e at 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat a great job she: 25. her late majesty the queen. yes ascewhat a great job she did. so and what a great job she did. so perhaps being young works in your favour in that sense ? yes. your favour in that sense? yes. very, very interesting . very, very interesting. >> yeah. but anyway, there you go. keir mather, who's one selby and ainsty for the labour party. it's been , you know, it's it's been, you know, it's impressive. it's a big win for the labour party swing of very nearly 24. there too. from tories to labour. nearly 24. there too. from tories to labour . yeah, it's tories to labour. yeah, it's huge. tories to labour. yeah, it's huge . we'll get more reaction huge. we'll get more reaction from that seat later on. in the meantime, let's go to jeff moody, who's in somerton and frome, where for the lib dems have taken i mean , again a have taken i mean, again a bigger swing. i think it's about 29% there, isn't it, geoff? from the tories to the lib dems . yes

the tories to the lib dems. yes i >> majority to an 11,000 liberal democrat majority. it's no surprise that that has happened , although the size of that swing is certainly a shock result . the lib dems were always result. the lib dems were always expected to do well here. in fact, sir ed davey declared victory here shortly after the ballot boxes started arriving last night. he declared victory very, very early on and he was proved to be right. well, i'm now in frome. he is due here, sir ed davey is due here at some point this morning to do a victory lap just like he did at tiverton and honiton last year around this time last year, when there really was a shock lib dem win when they beat the tories in that seat and really sort of set the wheels in motion to see the demise of boris johnson. nothing quite so seismic here. now now.

but we do look at this. this is being looked at as a major, major win for the lib dems in the west country , i.e. the west the west country, i.e. the west country. traditionally has always been lib dem in the day in the 80s and the 90s and the 2000 with paddy ashdown as their leader , they had virtually the leader, they had virtually the whole of the west country and that changed in 2015 after there was a mass exodus, wasn't there, from the lib dems when people were disillusioned with nick clegg and his coalition with the conservatives that began in 2010 and he was punished severely at the ballot box for getting into bed with the tories . it looks bed with the tories. it looks like those long memories have started to wane and that the west country is now returning to yellow . well, sarah, who is the yellow. well, sarah, who is the newest mp for somerton and frome, spoke earlier on just after she declared victory. this is what she had to say. >> i promise to be an mp

standing up for you in westminster tonight has been a stunning and historic victory for the liberal democrats , and for the liberal democrats, and it shows once and for all all the liberal democrats are back in the west country . in the west country. >> well, they're back in the west country indeed. and that now is setting the narrative between here and the general election, when all eyes will be on whether how many more seats in the west country, the lib dems can take. and a lot of concern . active mps down here concern. active mps down here selaine saxby for instance, in nonh selaine saxby for instance, in north devon , mps like that will north devon, mps like that will be really beginning to look over their shoulders, not at labour but at the lib dems. >> okay, geoff, thank you. >> okay, geoff, thank you. >> well, let's go now to paul hawkins, our national reporter

who's in uxbridge for us. boris johnson's former seat. good morning to you, paul. very, very good to see you. and the tories, they've managed to cling on in uxbndge. they've managed to cling on in uxbridge . oh, yeah . uxbridge. oh, yeah. >> just by their fingernails and it's all down to local politics in this by—election. ulez the ultra low emission zone was the big factor here. just for those who don't know who don't live in the capital, it's a daily charge for the most polluting vehicles to in the centre of to drive in the centre of london. £12.50 day. if you london. £12.50 a day. if you drive of those vehicles and drive one of those vehicles and the wants to the mayor of london wants to expand to outer london. expand it to outer london. so effectively, a effectively, this was a referendum. that's what all the candidates it a referendum candidates made it a referendum on ulez and it meant that they just about held on. there was a recount, some drama overnight . recount, some drama overnight. it at 495 was the winning margin. the winning sliver. i should say that the conservatives held on to this seat by, but it was still a swing of 6.7% to labour, so it could have been worse. but the winning candidate, the new mp

for uxbridge and south ruislip, he's a local man , made a lot he's a local man, made a lot about that in his local literature. born and raised in hillingdon , a former royal mail hillingdon, a former royal mail manager, deputy chair of the local conservative party, didn't mention rishi sunak at all. interestingly, in any of his promotion , all material, but he promotion, all material, but he was very quick to mention ulez as soon as the result came in. here he is by—election has been a referendum on ulez. >> it's absolutely been clear what the people of uxbridge and south ruislip want. they don't want ulez expanded and sadiq khan needs to listen to the result this by—election. result of this by—election. i wasn't expected to it. wasn't expected to win it. labour were this this by—election cost well , by—election has cost well, labour have lost this by—election because of the ulez expansion i'm incredibly expansion and i'm incredibly proud to been elected proud to have been elected tonight represent the people tonight to represent the people in community that spent in the community that i've spent all . all of my life. >> yeah, so this raises questions for labour about how they approach the next general election , given there are a election, given there are a clutch of seats around outer london. that kind of tradition, blue doughnut that surrounds london, it's been eaten away

over various general elections, but there are still some conservative seats there that labour would hope to win in a general election, but they'll have they have to rethink how they approach the effect approach that given the effect that has had here. make that ulez has had here. but make no bones it, it's still no bones about it, it's still a swing 6.7% labour. if swing of 6.7% to labour. if you're looking at what these byelections mean nationally, then probably get a much then probably you get a much better of that. when we better idea of that. when we look results in look at those seismic results in nonh look at those seismic results in north yorkshire, in somerset . north yorkshire, in somerset. >> okay, paul, thanks very much indeed. let's go to westminster and our political reporter olivia utley. morning, olivia . i olivia utley. morning, olivia. i mean, there's a there's a couple of things to look at here, isn't there? it's what means for there? it's what this means for government and the potential for a general election, but also so i mean, particularly when you look at at uxbridge and south ruislip , what this potentially ruislip, what this potentially could mean for the mayoral election next year . election next year. >> well , absolutely. yes. and it >> well, absolutely. yes. and it has been a pretty bleak night for the conservatives overall. but there is that little glimmer of comfort in uxbridge. the

tories have basically resigned themselves to losing boris johnson's old seat weeks ago and then they managed to cling on to it, albeit with a very reduced majority . and i think we expect majority. and i think we expect to hear from the tories a lot more about uxbridge than either of the other two seats. spoke to greg hands earlier. conservative party chairman . this is what he party chairman. this is what he had to say . had to say. >> uxbridge was really the standout result. everybody said that we were going to lose there. but steve tuckwell, mp , there. but steve tuckwell, mp, our fantastic candidate there, has defied the odds and labour are very bad at running things. they can't run. london sadiq khan has been a real failure as mayor of london. his ulez expand ation has been botched. kia starmer, meanwhile, has been flip flopping on it. there's real issues here for labour. there'll be real questions in labour headquarters today about not gaining uxbridge . not gaining uxbridge. >> well, that's all very well from greg hands. but even he

pretty much admits that this was , as paul hawkins put it, a reference . adam on ulez. this reference. adam on ulez. this was about local politics. it wasn't about what's going on in the country at large. and that's where the problems really begin for the conservatives. they managed to win uxbridge. they can just about explain away somerton and frome . yes, it was somerton and frome. yes, it was a big swing to the lib dems and the lib dems managed to win the seat. the lib did throw seat. but the lib dems did throw everything they've got at everything that they've got at this and the lib this by—election and the lib dems are famous for doing well in elections. with these in by elections. with these elections come in the elections that come in the middle cycle, can middle of the cycle, can stituents prepared put in middle of the cycle, can st sort1ts prepared put in middle of the cycle, can st sort of prepared put in middle of the cycle, can stsort of protestpared put in middle of the cycle, can st sort of protest vote. put in middle of the cycle, can st sort of protest vote. theyrt in a sort of protest vote. they know that the government isn't going change so they can vote going to change so they can vote for one of the smaller parties. they that lib they don't think that the lib dems an election, but dems will win an election, but it's having dem mp. it's worth having a lib dem mp. so what the tories will so that's what the tories will be this morning. the big be saying this morning. the big problem that selby problem though, is that selby seat, was a blue seat. seat, it was a true blue seat. it's a pretty wealthy rural seat made up of lots of little villages . you would expect a lot villages. you would expect a lot of sort of small sea conservatives there. and yet the

swing to labour was 24 points. now now to put that into context, labour would only need a 12 point swing in the country to win an overall majority in a general election. this is the biggest labour victory in a by—election since the war. and just one more stat for you. if labour could repeat it, this 24 point swing across the whole country, they would be winning a bigger landslide than tony blair in 1997. so this is where the real, real problem is for the conservatives and worryingly for rishi sunak , that seat selby is rishi sunak, that seat selby is actually rather similar to his own seat of richmond in the yorkshire area as well . and if yorkshire area as well. and if they can't be winning seats like that, they'll be mps who are asking, well, what can we win then ? then? >> okay, olivia utley there for us at westminster. really, really good to have your analysis . and we're joined now analysis. and we're joined now by head of political and social research , adam drummond. good research, adam drummond. good morning to you, adam. really, really good to see you this

morning . you might have just morning. you might have just heard there a clip from greg hands, the conservative party chairman. he described the result in uxbridge as the standout result of the night. so why don't we start there are many people describing it as a referendum on ulez. many people describing it as a referendum on ulez . tories referendum on ulez. tories managed to cling to on it, but it does appear to be about local issues in uxbridge and south ruislip yeah , i'd say that's ruislip yeah, i'd say that's right. >> if you look at polling about ulez more generally, it is, i think, narrowly more popular than unpopular in london as a whole. and uxbridge and south ruislip is one of the bluest parts of london. i think labour people be saying that they, people will be saying that they, they never won that area, even under even in the under tony blair, even in the heyday of the 90s. so the idea i think you can very much put it to down local ulez unpopularity. the question is possibly what that means for the mayoral election next year as well. if it is more popular in the rest of london there's of london and if there's concerns about the strength of the candidate next year the tory candidate next year who's been selected, who's just been selected, it possibly that maybe the

possibly shows that maybe the tories have taken that tories should have taken that selection slightly more seriously. has more. seriously. maybe this has more. maybe has more mileage they maybe this has more mileage they could of it london as could get out of it in london as a but as far as a general a whole. but as far as a general election goes, i think really the focus is probably more on selby where selby and somerton, where the non—tory becoming non—tory vote is becoming incredibly you incredibly efficient. and you see really big changes in the vote share for the party, which isn't main challenger isn't the main tory challenger in those seats. in both of those seats. >> yeah. so, so what do we make of those and bear in mind, turnout actually has been , you turnout actually has been, you know, well, as you expected , a know, well, as you expected, a by—election not not brilliant . i by—election not not brilliant. i mean, how much of a of a concern should that be for government ? should that be for government? >> i think generally what by elections are really good at is telling us whether or not the national polls are correct or not and whether, you know, polls that show that labour is 15 to 20 points ahead, whether we can really believe that or not. and the of the local elections the story of the local elections earlier this and the story earlier this year and the story of these by elections is basically that yeah, are basically that yeah, they are they fairly track . basically that yeah, they are they fairly track. i they are fairly on track. i

think olivia was just saying, think as olivia was just saying, if you take the uxbridge swing and that nationally. so at and apply that nationally. so at the a worst case the moment, sort of a worst case scenario labour, you still scenario for labour, you still have them the largest have them being the largest party, on the cusp party, possibly just on the cusp of a majority. if you take the selby then suddenly we're selby swing, then suddenly we're talking blair landslide territory. think what they territory. so i think what they tell as a whole, you're tell us as a whole, you're right, that turnout is down, but turnout is always down in by elections. that they don't elections. it's that they don't give any reason disbelieve give us any reason to disbelieve what national polls are saying give us any reason to disbelieve what rtheynal polls are saying give us any reason to disbelieve what rthe state olls are saying give us any reason to disbelieve what rthe state ofs are saying give us any reason to disbelieve what rthe state of the; saying give us any reason to disbelieve what rthe state of the parties. about the state of the parties. >> that doesn't >> well, except that doesn't apply >> well, except that doesn't apply lib dems in in apply to the lib dems in in somerton and frome, does it? because obviously their rating terribly in the national polls . terribly in the national polls. they they aren't the one just into double digits . into double digits. >> but as i said, the main point with that is that the non—conservative parties have really become incredibly efficient at choosing which one of them is the best candidate to remove the tories from office. and we saw that in the local elections earlier this year. that was big story of that, that was the big story of that, where had massive tory where you had massive tory losses but not comparable level labour the point is that

labour gains. the point is that in the country as a whole there are lot more seats where are a lot more seats where labouris are a lot more seats where labour is the challenger to labour is the main challenger to the conservatives and lib labour is the main challenger to the cc are. vatives and lib labour is the main challenger to the ccare. so ives and lib labour is the main challenger to the cc are. so voters d lib labour is the main challenger to the ccare. so voters are lib labour is the main challenger to the cc are. so voters are getting dems are. so voters are getting very working out, which very good at working out, which is the which is the best sort of second choice candidates beat second choice candidates to beat the they don't the candidate that they don't like and the thing that we saw like. and the thing that we saw really in the last decade was that after the coalition lib dems became very sort of toxic for labour voters and they were kind of rejected as part of that anti—tory coalition in. and what we're is not to get too we're seeing is not to get too kind of 90s revival, but it is very reminiscent of that in that the lib dems are now sort of seen as basically being as acceptable an anti—tory vote as labour are . labour are. >> we do know that these by elections , they are an elections, they are an opportunity for protest votes. how much do you think we should read into this as a litmus test, if you like, for how how a general election would play out ? >> 7- >> so yeah, ? >> so yeah, you're right. there is there is some history of

especially in places like like somerton, where you have the previous conservative mp who moved for reasons of a scandal and there have been moved for reasons of a scandal and there have of and there have been lots of instances where an opposition party takes a seat in a by—election and then loses it again in a general election. it's a question as to how sort of sticky dem vote is in of sticky the lib dem vote is in the west country. they did used to hold that seat way back when, but as i said, generally , even but as i said, generally, even though seats may though individual seats may change the general thing that by—election is can we trust what polls are saying? and the answer is broadly yes. >> adam, gentlemen, good >> okay, adam, gentlemen, good to you this morning. to talk to you this morning. thanks very much indeed. and thatis thanks very much indeed. and that is essentially what what the parties need to listen to. i mean, delightful for the labour party , terrible for the party, terrible for the conservative party. you know, the polls are pretty much on track . that's what that's what track. that's what that's what rishi sunak doesn't want to heat rishi sunak doesn't want to hear. but if that's the reality , wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall in number ten today? >> i always think that the morning after an election election or a general want to

know the mood on the ground know what the mood on the ground is, i can imagine how is, i can only imagine how they're this morning. do they're feeling this morning. do get that story or get in touch in that story or any the stories that we're any of the stories that we're talking about today. gb views at gb com but do stay with gb news. com but do stay with us. we're to be going gb news. com but do stay with us. we'rall to be going gb news. com but do stay with us. we'rall of to be going gb news. com but do stay with us. we'rall of the be going gb news. com but do stay with us. we'r all of the sports ng gb news. com but do stay with us. we'r all of the sports news through all of the sports news with paul coyte. but first, let's get a weather update for you. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. good morning . >> hello there. good morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here of your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. touch of a cool start where we've held on to clear skies overnight and there is a bit of sunshine around but for northern ireland, southern scotland into northern england it the word it is quite cloudy from the word go. few scattered showers in go. a few scattered showers in there. be there. that cloud will be progressing its way across the rest of england and wales throughout day. the throughout the day. so the sunshine perhaps turning bit sunshine perhaps turning a bit hazier but sunshine hazier later on, but sunshine perhaps southwestern hazier later on, but sunshine perhaps scotland uthwestern hazier later on, but sunshine perhaps scotland uthwthe rn areas of scotland and the northern actually starting areas of scotland and the nc see rn actually starting areas of scotland and the nc see a actually starting areas of scotland and the nc see a few actually starting areas of scotland and the nc see a few sunny ally starting areas of scotland and the ncsee a few sunny spells|rting to see a few sunny spells developing. but we'll be a relatively cool day with that cloud around temperatures

news it's 726. >> we're talking about mental health and things in the papers earlier on and about young people being sort of badly affected by and being off sick

and all this sort of thing. it's and all this sort of thing. it's an interesting point from emilia , who says, a young viewer of , who says, as a young viewer of gb news, i'm disappointed that the generation who should look after hours holds a view like this, because we weren't dismissing it. we were just saying , should young people be saying, should young people be a little bit more robust mental health illness is real depression is a real and a lot of people are struggling. i don't think anyone was saying isn't real. but, you know, you make a valid point. amelia i tell you what, though, it just and please, amelia, don't think i'm having a go because i'm not. but it's the it's the fact. you see the generation who should look after ours , whereas look after ours, whereas traditional tradition only it's the younger generation that looks after the older generation . and it seems to have switched it, doesn't it? >> yeah, that's true actually, because that's normally how it works the other way round. >> obviously the younger generation, or from amelia's perspective, feel they need to be looked after. >> but then perhaps amelia would

say that younger generation say that the younger generation are living in a very, very different society than that of their for mothers and for fathers, for bears , for bears. fathers, for bears, for bears. it's yeah, that's true there you can't get on the housing ladder . yeah. >> yeah that's fair point. >> yeah that's fair point. >> you know you've got really bad university see all bad university debt you see all these are different. >> are welcome because >> all views are welcome because it adds that slightly it just adds that slightly different perspective, doesn't it? for that. >> views are welcome here. >> all views are welcome here. >> all views are welcome here. >> keep them coming in. vaiews@gbnews.com should we vaiews@gbnews.com and should we get you this morning? >> call him >> loosely call him a broadcaster. paul >> loosely call him a broadcaster . paul coyte >> loosely call him a broadcaster. paul coyte is here. good morning. good morning. i couldn't resist . no, no. couldn't resist. no, no. >> i'm a loose broadcaster. that's what it is. >> yes. you went out for coffee yesterday. >> we did. and we a lovely >> we did. and we had a lovely time, didn't we? >> we did. and we had a lovely timweiidn't we? >> we did. and we had a lovely timweiidn'ta/e? >> we did. and we had a lovely timweiidn'ta we had a lovely >> we had a we had a lovely time. but it just made me just want to sort of rip you even more. i know. >> that's okay. good. more. i know. >> and 's okay. good. more. i know. >> and thanks. good. more. i know. >> and thanks. myyd. more. i know. >> and thanks. my cinnamon bun we're still about. we're still talking about. >> oh, cinnamon bun. >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> yeah. you paid for that? >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> what you paid for that? >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> what was paid for that? >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> what was it? d for that? >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> what was it? three:hat? >> oh, that cinnamon bun. >> what was it? three coffees. three. what i pay for that? three. what did i pay for that? >> was. was four drinks.

>> it was. it was four drinks. yeah. and three pastries. yeah. £27. >> £27. >> £27. >> i nearly died when that came up. you think i felt? up. how do you think i felt? >> i paid for it. >> i paid for it. >> i paid for it. >> i know. >> i know. >> london prices. >> london prices. >> it's outrageous. stephen's taking us out next time. taking us out for the next time. i think it's going to be i don't think it's going to be in that place. it's not? in that same place. it's not? no, no. >> em- gm- gm— >> we'll be to going a nice little. there's a nice little cafe down the. which is much, much sounds good. okay. much cheaper. sounds good. okay. should ashes? yeah should we talk ashes? yeah >> was brilliant day should we talk ashes? yeah >> england. was brilliant day should we talk ashes? yeah >> england. it/as brilliant day should we talk ashes? yeah >> england. it reallyyrilliant day should we talk ashes? yeah >> england. it really was. nt day should we talk ashes? yeah >> england. it really was. you ay for england. it really was. you remember yesterday? remember that yesterday? and i was saying was the first day, was saying it was the first day, which was wednesday. never which was wednesday. you never quite know. it's just going to level firstly. but england level out firstly. but england had batting, so had an amazing day batting, so on. australia scored 317 runs and england now are on 384 for the loss of just four wickets. and zak crawley now what i'm going to tell you is about bazball again . he's bazball bazball again. he's bazball bazball again. he's bazball bazball this bazball that. but you get one of the most important things about bazball is not only the free flowing cricket that they play today, but it is having faith in

players that are not doing so well. what they say is like it's if you're playing badly, play with no fear. don't worry, it doesn't mean that if you play badly one day you'll be out the next. so they had faith in zak crawley, who hadn't played that, and he goes out and scores 189 runs, which is the most any england batsman has scored in a long time. and one of the great ashes innings . ashes innings. >> so basically the entire philosophy for the england cricket team is dance like nobody's watching . nobody's watching. >> yeah, that's it . go out, do >> yeah, that's it. go out, do your thing, enjoy it, and don't worry about the pressure. so much pressure because they know you're good enough to play . and you're good enough to play. and if something goes wrong, you know what? look at that. i'm even. i'm even doing it myself. i'm even faking a cricket. yeah, i'm even faking a cricket. yeah, i think so. but anyway , it. it's i think so. but anyway, it. it's been terrific. so what england wants to do, it's a high score by english batter for 26 by an english batter for 26 years in england. going years in england. they're going to when the to keep it's when the declaration because the declaration comes because the way are going, the rain way things are going, the rain is coming in that may affect the

result . but like they've never result. but like they've never batted before again this morning and then declare and then bowl australia out and then fingers crossed it'll be 2—2 going into the oval for the final test. >> oh, golden opportunity then golden opportunity. >> very excited about it. >> very excited about it. >> can i just say, i think this is in part down to you and your positive mindset. i think you're probably right when you said this, were being very cynical this, we were being very cynical saying, not going to saying, oh, we're not going to turn but you stayed turn this around. but you stayed firm strong and firm and you stayed strong and here are. here we are. >> i did indeed. so it's all in the mindset. it is all in the mindset. so stephen, you're will you be a tommy turncoat now and go along with me and agree that maybe tommy turn ? maybe tommy turn? >> yes, i will. >> is the way to go? >> is the way to go? >> yes, i will. fine. >> as long as you buy me another £18 coffee. >> listen. >> listen. >> absolutely no problem whatsoever. >> let's talk golf. >> let's talk golf. >> yes, let's talk >> should we? yes, let's talk about golf. golf. >> should we? yes, let's talk about this golf. >> should we? yes, let's talk about this is)lf. >> should we? yes, let's talk about this is a:. >> should we? yes, let's talk about this is a links course . >> so this is a links course. >> so this is a links course. >> very, very good question because it is a links course. excellent question. now links excellent question. now a links

course it's basically means it's not the style of the course. it's what the course is built on. so it's like a sand because it's often alongside the coast which hoylake is . most of them which hoylake is. most of them were scottish . so the word links were scottish. so the word links comes from the scots language, from the old english word clink, which link. i don't know whether it's a silent h clink which is rising ground or ridge. it's usually they're usually firmer golf courses. so that's what the link links golf course is. >> it probably is a silent h, but it wouldn't be quite as good if you said it comes from the ancient english word link. yes. okay so quite as good, is it? >> no, no, not quite the same. not quite the link. so anyway, it very good start it was a very good start yesterday. we're underway yesterday. so we're underway now. the guy who's it's a four way lead at the moment. it's an amateur guy by the name of christo lampert. now, christo , christo lampert. now, christo, we've often talked about tall people, haven't we, in this segment? christo is i think we've got a picture of christo. >> you do it with a very envious

look in your eye. >> i said, what it is. >> i said, what it is. >> is that why i'm so obsessed with being tall, being okay, well, i'm only three myself. well, i'm only six three myself. >> anyway, let's let's have >> but anyway, let's let's have a look. >> but anyway, let's let's have a l(|yk. >> but anyway, let's let's have a l(| think we've got a picture >> i think we've got a picture of christo here. have we got christo there. oh that is christo there. oh that, that is that now look, it that is history. now look, it looks like. there are. there. looks like. there we are. there. he's he's a very tall man now. he's he's a very tall man now. he is actually six foot eight south african amateur. he is actually six foot eight south african amateur . there he south african amateur. there he is.look south african amateur. there he is. look at him. it's like lurch, isn't he? but a lot of power for amateur champion. last month. so he's five under at the moment. so looking very good. tommy fleetwood local boy, although he lives in dubai , he's although he lives in dubai, he's also local to the north—west. so also local to the north—west. so a lot of fans there for tommy emilio arno azriel from argentina for rory mcilroy is even. argentina for rory mcilroy is even . so he's still in with a even. so he's still in with a shot. he's still in there. but the thing is, it's causing a lot of people problems with these pot bunkers . well, now pot pot bunkers. well, now pot bunkers . now the bunkers, you bunkers. now the bunkers, you know, are the sand traps, the bunkers around the green. these

now look at this. try and get your ball out of there. i mean, look at it. it's that i believe is the 17th. now, rory hit one out perfectly yesterday . look, out perfectly yesterday. look, sometimes look, even on hands and knees is the only way to get out of these. >> it's like crazy golf. >> it's like crazy golf. >> it's like crazy golf. >> it blooming is it is the only thing missing is probably the windmill in front of the hole. so really is tricky to play so it really is tricky to play out of these. so the pot bunkers are to do. koepka are having a lot to do. koepka schauffele scheffler, schauffele and scheffler, schauffele scheffler . i know schauffele and scheffler. i know two your favourite golfers. two of your favourite golfers. they're one and they're both on one under and matt fitz, patrick, another one of our fine golfers is just one over for the championship . over for the championship. >> did you know, like scheffler and schauffele because can and schauffele because i can just tell i know you think they're they the they're probably they wrote the sound scheffler and >> scheffler, scheffler and chevrolet, didn't they? but anyway, matt fitzpatrick, anyway, but matt fitzpatrick, one about matt one more thing about matt fitzpatrick he's one of fitzpatrick is that he's one of our of our best golfers our one of our best golfers sounds a chance. but he sounds a great chance. but he what he does, he logs every single golf shot that he takes. so it doesn't matter, even if he's warming up, even if he's on a golf range he has yet hit,

that will hit it off. i know. isn't that bizarre? >> weird. >> weird. >> yeah, but if it works for him. >> but that's it. and he's turned it into a science. so then he'll sit down and go. right. okay that went off there. that went off there. so logs every golf shot. i mean every every golf shot. i mean i'm so bad it would probably take long to log just one take too long to log just one round me. so i don't round for me. so i don't even bother doing anyway, so bother doing it. but anyway, so that today. um this that continues today. um this world cup. >> should we have a look at that? yeah, we should. the irish aren't they? well, i'io. 110. >> no. >> ireland were beaten by australia. actually the australia. it was actually the first decision that was first var decision that was announced with a little announced by with a little microphone yesterday you microphone yesterday because you know var and in the premier know with var and in the premier league and everywhere else, fans in the stadium have to wait and wait for the decision. and then they you see the referee, but now referee and they're now the referee and they're trialling this with the women's world cup has the microphone. so we'll hear what we'll then you will hear what she's saying and it goes out to the crowd. i mean, it may sound like no big deal, but at like it's no big deal, but at least everybody here, everybody knows going and she knows what's going on. and she will i've looked at

will go, okay, i've looked at that and so at that penalty. and then so at least we can hear that. so least we can hear that. but so australia beat ireland, new zealand nigeria zealand beat norway, nigeria have canada this have drawn with canada this morning. oh philippines are 1—0 down against switzerland . it's down against switzerland. it's another glamour game so far. maybe. maybe we'll let that one go. >> when does england play? tomorrow. >> yes. but mary earps, the goalkeeper , they're playing goalkeeper, they're playing haiti. mary earps is very unhappy. the england goalkeeper , because they wear nike . now, , because they wear nike. now, this is one of my bugbears is nike. so many people say nike. but it's nike is the proper pronunciation . i'm not sure. you pronunciation. i'm not sure. you know, but nike, no , you're not know, but nike, no, you're not with on this. with me on this. >> i'm not really. i know >> no, i'm not really. i know it's meant nike. call it nike. >> okay. >> okay. >> i think most people do. do you call it nike? >> no. >> no. >> nike, nike, nike. >> nike, nike, nike. >> oh, well, i'm on my own here. >> a renowned broadcaster. >> you should be getting this right. upset. but nike, right. i'm very upset. but nike, anyway, shirts that anyway, the shirts that they wear, you know, obviously you get can buy get shirts that you can buy because want wear the because you want to wear the replica shirt with the women's kit, very bizarre. mary kit, which is very bizarre. mary earps, she fifa best earps, she won the fifa best goalkeeper earlier this year in

the but her shirt is not the world, but her shirt is not available now. she's available to buy now. she's taking the name on. no, no. the actual design of the shirt. so you can buy the england kit for any player. yeah, because that's all the same. but the goalkeeper kit is not available now . you kit is not available now. you can buy just like a regular kit, but she's really unhappy about it and she's saying that at manchester united it's the her goalkeeper kit is the third best selling, but when it comes to the england kit, you can't buy it. so she wants her family it. and so she wants her family to to wear her shirt to be able to wear her shirt with earps on the back. and there's lots of fans. for there's lots of fans. but for some have made it some reason, nike have made it not they say it's not not available. they say it's not part commercial strategy, part of our commercial strategy, as adidas . they say same as do adidas. they say the same thing goalkeepers , so she thing about goalkeepers, so she feels if people they're feels as if people they're selling goalkeepers down the river that nobody cares about, which i think is a little unfair. >> i do think nike are missing a trick here because after the euros win, i went to a girls football team and i was playing football team and i was playing football with them very badly and favourite player, all and their favourite player, all of them was saying was mary earps.

>> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> we loved her. yeah, >> we all loved her. yeah, they would all bought. >> we all loved her. yeah, they wotshe all bought. >> we all loved her. yeah, they wotshe is all bought. >> we all loved her. yeah, they wotshe is extremelyht. >> we all loved her. yeah, they wotshe is extremely popular, but >> she is extremely popular, but and because you and she's upset because you would be not only you thinking surely it business surely does it make business sense, but take it a little sense, but you take it a little bit personally. yeah, you bit personally. yeah yeah, you would. earps the would. you need a earps on the back. so yeah, let's. >> let's start campaign . >> let's start a campaign. that's >> let's start a campaign. thathat's what we'll do next. >> that's what we'll do next. >> that's what we'll do next. >> oops. ups oh yes. >> oops. ups oh yes. >> a very cute when i met >> i'm a very cute when i met those girls in the girls football team, didn't know football team, they didn't know how her name and they how to say her name and they were calling her herbs. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> sweet. >> very sweet. >> very sweet. >> that how you spell it, earps? >> because it all depends where you went. because if it was where i grew up, if you said earps, think her earps, you'd probably think her name herbs or herbs. it was name was herbs or herbs. it was mary earps. >> we were at wembley. >> we were at wembley. >> did you play? >> all right. did you play? >> all right. did you play? >> well, kicked ball and how >> well, i kicked a ball and how did go? thank you. that was did it go? thank you. that was as as i did. yes that was as much as i did. yes that was everybody. they were very good. >> everybody starts spirits was coming through. >> those girls should taken >> those girls should have taken your well, would your heels off. well, it would have helped. >> to look great when >> still got to look great when you're though. know you're playing, though. you know how still got to look how it works. still got to look great you're playing. great when you're playing. >> medium.

that's it . even though doctors that's it. even though doctors don't want to accept that, are they are they just using this as are they using us as patients as negotiating tactics? well, yeah, that's the big criticism, right? so patients suffering is one of the negotiating tactics , which the negotiating tactics, which is why i don't think all consultants are on board with this. you know, some people really have a problem with the bma these tactics and bma using these tactics and they've as they've said, you know, as doctors, we sort of took an oath. we don't walk out on our patients. there other patients. so there are other ways negotiating from ways of negotiating and from what even people who are what i know, even people who are very neutral issue, you very neutral on this issue, you know, on this have know, commenters on this have said causing these said it is causing chaos. these strikes contributing to the strikes are contributing to the waiting list. >> mm hm. >> emm- 5mm.- >> well, there will be. yeah. this one i love in the metro . i this one i love in the metro. i shouldn't like this, but i do. just stop . foiled. just stop. foiled. >> yeah. and i know what you mean by saying you shouldn't like it, but it is funny. there was an attempted this protest by just stop oil at elephant and castle in london and they were kettled themselves by turned out

comical . comical. >> what's up with him? >> what's up with him? >> so i just found that really hilarious. and i wanted to hilarious. and so i wanted to tell this. tell you this. >> here we go. lion >> oh, here we go. a lion yourself, right? >> oh, here we go. a lion youaelf, right? >> oh, here we go. a lion youa lion ight? >> oh, here we go. a lion youa lion walks into a bar and >> a lion walks into a bar and he can i have a vodka and he says, can i have a vodka and coke? the barman says, coke? and the barman says, what's with the big paws? and the lion goes, i was born with them. oh yeah. >> no , the dad jokes have >> no, the dad jokes have started early. >> oh, that was so good . that >> oh, that was so good. that was laughing out for ages on the green room when i thought of it. >> oh, you thought that one, did you?i >> oh, you thought that one, did you? i came up with it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> oh, did you? oh, well, an original lovely neck. >> and just. >> and just. >> he's only been talking about that for about five minutes. terrible. >> just very briefly, candice. yes let's have look at the yes let's have a look at the telegraph. and flood of telegraph. and this flood of quenes telegraph. and this flood of queries from natwest costs natwest that owns coots which was debunked nigel farage there's a whole load of unhappy customers. >> yes. so going so this report in the telegraph going by this facebook page of people who've gathered together saying they've lost their bank accounts and

they think it's for their social media monitored by the media being monitored by the bank. guy he lost his bank. one guy thinks he lost his bank. one guy thinks he lost his bank account for criticising nhs waiting and immigration. waiting lists and immigration. so that nigel farage is kind so now that nigel farage is kind of shown the way to get information on why you lost your bank account, they're all starting to do that now. they're coming together before . i don't coming together before. i don't think had the legal advice think they had the legal advice or to figure out or the resources to figure out how do it. this is pretty how to do it. but this is pretty appalling that your social media accounts and accounts could be monitored and you lose your bank account you could lose your bank account and it. and you're not told about it. you're informed about you're not informed about it. the surveillance is the sort of surveillance is going on secretly. i think that's really sinister. and why do banks think that they can play do banks think that they can play that role in society, sort of trying to correct people's political beliefs ? political beliefs? >> i know. and who sets that line as well? what is acceptable and what isn't? exactly. >> it's somewhere you would hope that across the that people from all across the political would of political spectrum would sort of unite and even in the smaller examples, you know, i don't like what someone says. i'm going to contact their boss. i'm going to try and get them sacked like chuck it, grow up.

chuck it, like stop it, grow up. because those little things, they to, to the bigger they lead to, to the bigger ones. they lead to people losing their bank accounts. yeah. >> so that's a fair point. >> so that's a fair point. >> a be grass. >> don't be a be grass. >> don't be a be grass. >> imagine the industrial size shredders are warmed up in shredders are being warmed up in various yeah, you can various places. yeah, you can imagine , can't imagine, can't you? >> because they it all >> yes, because they put it all in writing and he was able to get yeah. get it. yeah. >> yeah. file. >> yeah. a file. >> yeah. a file. >> yes. well there you go. >> yes. well there you go. >> you've been affected >> if you've been affected by that, touch. i'd love to that, get in touch. i'd love to hear from you. thank you both. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> it's not 8:00 yet, so >> oh, it's not 8:00 yet, so you've got another hit, another joke come up with. joke to come up with. >> thank you, sean. >> no, thank you, sean. >> no, thank you, sean. >> in the green room. >> loving it. >> loving it. >> now, as you might already know, we're continuing our look at role that plays in at the role that cash plays in our everyday as part of our everyday lives as part of our everyday lives as part of our kill cash campaign, our don't kill cash campaign, but the of electronic but is the rise of electronic card payments creeping to card payments creeping in to become popular to become the most popular way to pall-7 become the most popular way to pay? in the east midlands pay? oh man in the east midlands will been to the will hollis has been to the market in lincolnshire market deeping in lincolnshire to find out more . to find out more. >> does what it says on the tin. >> there's been a market in market deeping for 800 years.

plenty of cash floating around, but now on every stall a card machine to cash your card. >> madam cash. thank you very much indeed. >> stuart the fish man has been coming here for nearly 20 years. >> virtually everybody about now has got a card . it's so easy to has got a card. it's so easy to pay - has got a card. it's so easy to pay . there's not the banks about pay. there's not the banks about to go and draw cash out. and obviously there's not the atms ehheni obviously there's not the atms either. i think in market deeping, i think there may be two. >> peter and his wife mavis, are regulars tapping their way between the stalls . between the stalls. >> well, we don't we don't have cash much nowadays. they much cash much nowadays. they much cash , of course, we have no cash, of course, we have no banks. no banks at all. no, there's no post office. the main post office is closed down. >> while lots of people here at market deeping say they're getting more comfortable with using their for purchases, using their card for purchases, they of the biggest they say one of the biggest reasons is because all of reasons why is because all of the banks have closed down and there's nowhere there's virtually nowhere for them get their cash out just them to get their cash out just to go into a shop and buy a

newspaper or something like that i >> -- >> it's better just to >> it's betterjust to pay by >> it's better just to pay by cash. and rather than getting a card out, i do use both, but i do prefer to use cash because at least you know , we know what least you know, we know what you're spending. >> then i do think it's a government ploy to get rid of cash. >> the traders run the market, not the local council. so like most businesses , they went card most businesses, they went card only during covid and now customers have a choice. >> at the moment i'm just changing a battery on a watch for somebody. >> david's on the watch store . >> david's on the watch store. some of his customers are keen on cod, others are clinging to cash. >> this battery will cost £4 and majority of people will pay cash with it. cards can be cloned and cash machines can be cloned. so the elderly feel more secure paying the elderly feel more secure paying with cash. £10, please . paying with cash. £10, please. >> older people seem more likely to use cash , but cynthia reckons to use cash, but cynthia reckons the change might help if they've got arthritic fingers or something like that and they can

just tap a card , that's quite good. >> i find if i just go like that, it's quite good. >> and how old are you ? >> and how old are you? >> and how old are you? >> i'm 89. >> i'm 89. >> the cash card conundrum pits paper against plastic. actually banknotes are plastic. now too. the old ones are gone . maybe the old ones are gone. maybe time is running out for cash of all kinds . or is it worth all kinds. or is it worth counting the reasons to keep it will hollis gb news in market deeping very difficult if you can't use cash . can't use cash. >> it is difficult if you can't use cash for those people who rely on it. i think it's all well and good if people i mean people like me, i never use cash, but if you're reliant on cash, but if you're reliant on cash, it's a different story . cash, it's a different story. >> yeah, it is. went to a restaurant the other my restaurant the other day. my card got declined. so issue with the card not because i didn't have couldn't use have any money, couldn't use cash. then you've cash. impossible. then you've got a problem. >> us know your >> yeah. let us know your thoughts that one. in the thoughts on that one. in the meantime, a look at meantime, let's have a look at the for you. the

hear what they want to hear rather than what's been said. and i raised that for lorraine in air. hi, lorraine . and she in air. hi, lorraine. and she says, i'm from stevens generation and mental health is real because we were talking about mental health and the number of people off sick and what companies are being encouraged to do to help . encouraged to do to help. they're getting a tax break. if they help people with sort of preventative measures things they help people with sort of pit'sentative measures things they help people with sort of pit's beenye measures things they help people with sort of pit's been suggesteds things they help people with sort of pit's been suggested anywayiings they help people with sort of pit's been suggested anyway .1gs , it's been suggested anyway. and talking about that and we were talking about that in papers a couple of hours in the papers a couple of hours ago saying, you know, ago and saying, you know, do people be more resilient people need to be more resilient 7 people need to be more resilient ? nobody , lorraine, was ? but nobody, lorraine, was saying mental health isn't a real issue. nobody's suggested that at all. but just saying, do we need to be a bit more resilient and see keith says the younger generation seem to forget that the older generation went through five years of bombs of war, bombs dropping on their houses , children taking away houses, children taking away from parents, not seeing family for years , growing up with for years, growing up with rationing and displays mustn't see mental health problems will have existed then, but it wasn't talked about in the same way .

talked about in the same way. but then perhaps there were a more robust generation which is perhaps what we need to be. so it's just putting that in balance. lorraine yeah, joanne's beenin balance. lorraine yeah, joanne's been in touch. >> she's a mental health worker of many years and she says my response to this comment this morning all have morning is that we all have mental sometimes it's mental health. sometimes it's good sometimes good, sometimes it's bad. generally we unless it's organic, it's situation all there is a lot of help for people who struggle with their feelings nowadays, but there's also lot of pressure from also a lot of pressure from social media. i think that is a really interesting point because we've that additional we've got that additional element, haven't we? that additional like , additional sphere, if you like, of and the of social media and the pressures that come with that that haven't felt before. that haven't been felt before. >> for young people who >> yeah. for young people who feel these feel pressured by these particularly images , i think particularly images, i think things like instagram where people you know, it's totally unrealistic. everyone puts these filters and things on. it's all very, very odd. they don't trust what you see online. maureen says. what you see online. maureen says . you don't get depressed if says. you don't get depressed if you keep busy . i would you keep busy. well, i would disagree that, disagree with you on that, maureen. some people do just have depression.

>> chemical >> yeah, just a chemical imbalance. yeah. yeah >> so it's just it's just balancing out that whole argument. but it bothered me. lorraine clearly lorraine when you clearly thought we were saying mental health isn't a real thing, which isn't what saying at all. >> really isn't. no lots of you getting in touch on. well london prices, says he went to a prices, max says he went to a farmers market last weekend. he got two sausage rolls, a pork pie and a scotch egg for £22. it's after we almost bankrupted paul coyte took us out for a coffee yesterday and spent £30. i mean, stephen west choked , i mean, stephen west choked, didn't you? >> four coffees and three pastries. was £30. 30? well 27, £27. i mean , honestly, nearly £27. i mean, honestly, nearly had a fit on the spot. it was a lot, wasn't it? and do you know what? i didn't say this to paul earlier on. i was thinking because his daughter was with us and i was delight, by the way, really lovely. and i was was really lovely. and i was i was going i'll i'll get this. going to i'll get i'll get this. i'll get this. but he got there first. and i was just thinking,

thank heavens. i was really pleased. >> yeah , it was a lot wasn't it, >> yeah, it was a lot wasn't it, at london prices people. it's no joke . oh, and of course a few joke. oh, and of course a few people getting in touch on the by—election and sharon, my takeaway from the by—election results is that the conservative voters stayed home. pauline the tories deserve everything they get after the way they treated boris. he won them that election and they stabbed him in the back i >> -- >> well , yeah, keep >> well, yeah, keep your thoughts coming through on that one because it has been a night of by—election drama for the three biggest parties in in the country. and but it's not all but we were predicting or the experts were predicting that it was going to be a wipe—out for the tories. it hasn't been it hasn't been. but it's still been extremely bruising , i have to extremely bruising, i have to say. we've got three reporters on standby , anna riley in selby, on standby, anna riley in selby, paul hawkins in uxbridge, jeff moody in somerton. anna, let's start with you, because this has beeni start with you, because this has been i mean, frankly , a

been i mean, frankly, a phenomenal night for the labour party in that constituency . party in that constituency. >> it certainly has. party in that constituency. >> it certainly has . yes. >> it certainly has. yes. they've overturned a conservative majority of 20,137, and that's the largest majority reversed at a by—election. so conservative suffering a record loss here in the selby and ainsty constituency. the new labour mp here is kim martha. and at just 25 years old, he will now be the youngest mp going into parliament. he won with a majority of 4161 votes. the turnout . here was 44% for the turnout. here was 44% for this by—election that was down 30 points from the 2019 election, when 72% turn out to vote . and speaking to people vote. and speaking to people here before the by—election, a lot of people were saying that they didn't know who they could trust and they just weren't going to turn out. so voter

apathy may have played in a little bit to labour's win here, and it means for the first time since it was created in 2010, this constitute agency will not be represented by the tories and the by—election in this north yorkshire seat, which is made up of small towns and rural villages . it was triggered last villages. it was triggered last month after the ally of boris johnson, nigel adams, the former mp here, stood down from the house of commons when he didn't receive a peerage and this area, it's known for being a true blue area part of the tory heartlands and in fact rishi sunak seat of richmond is just less than an hours richmond is just less than an hour's drive away here from selby , part of the same county selby, part of the same county as selby and ainsty in north yorkshire. it could be said that the key factors in the conservatives win here sorry, the conservative loss and the labour win is the high rate of mortgage holders here. it's in the top 40 seats in england and

wales for people with mortgages who will have been hammered by the rising interest rates. and that's something that labour were campaigning here heavily about and there was a swing of at least 17.9% that was needed for labour to win the seat here nationwide in the next general election. they'd need a swing of 12% to win the majority and after all the votes were counted here, the swing was 23.7. so a similar swing in the general election will give labour more seats than they won in 1997 under tony blair's new labour government. now here's what the new mp, keir martha, had to say about labour's historic win here in selby and ainsty. >> well, i think i saw that there's only, only just over 50 conservative seats have got a larger majority than this one. and this is a historic moment for the labour party . it's the for the labour party. it's the largest majority we have ever overturned. shows overturned. i think it shows that got a national head that we have got a national head of steam behind a mission driven

plan. keir starmer's plan. and keir starmer's leadership i think everybody leadership and i think everybody should close should be paying very close attention result . attention to this result. >> i was here last week >> and when i was here last week speaking to people in this constituency, they said no matter their politics, no matter who they were going to vote for, they wanted their next mp to focus heavily on the nhs and local services in terms of getting gp appointments. they feel that areas of expand needed in terms of housing developments , but that infrastructure hasn't kept up. they said they struggled to get a gp appointment that many of the dentists around here were being privatised as well, and that they also struggled with transport links and of course the cost of living. they they were the things that they wanted. the next mp to do. and keir, martha's campaign centred heavily on that. he covered the cost of living crisis and how he would deal with that public transport nhs waiting lists as well as local issues around flooding and anti—social behaviour . flooding and anti—social behaviour. he's an oxford graduate , he's from hull in east

graduate, he's from hull in east yorkshire. and he said during his campaign that his age means he can relate to younger voters who are struggling to get on the housing ladder and facing a lack of economic opportunity with their jobs. of economic opportunity with theirjobs. now those of economic opportunity with their jobs. now those who of economic opportunity with theirjobs. now those who are their jobs. now those who are living here in this constituency , fc will be looking to see what their new mp does for them and their new mp does for them and their area. >> okay, anna riley in selby, really good to have that update from you. thank you very, very much. let's go down to jeff moody now, shall we? our southwest of england, reporter in somerton and frome, where there's been a big swing to yellow and the lib dems tell us more . more. >> yes, it's we always expected the lib dems to win here. that's no surprise, really. but what is a surprise is the scale of that victory. they've overturned earned a 19,000 seat majority and turned it into an 11,000 seat majority in favour of the lib dems . now they performed lib dems. now they performed

something as miraculous as that last year in tiverton and honiton, a massive seismic result then that really we saw the nails being banged into the coffin of boris johnson's career. it was an early sign that things weren't going boris's way. this time last year . this time it's not so much a fluke. it's more of a habit. the lib dems are now back in the game in the west country. they dominated the west country throughout the 80s and the 90s and the early 2000. it was only really in 2015 that they were totally annihilated here as voters down here wanted to punish the lib dems under nick clegg for their coalition. they're getting into bed with the tories . they were wiped out the tories. they were wiped out of the south—west, completely back then, but now they're very strongly back in the game . strongly back in the game. there's going to be a big victory speech from ed davey. he's on his way to down frome as

at the moment around 10:00 this morning here in the marketplace in the middle of frome , there in the middle of frome, there will be a victory speech followed by a victory march and then both sir ed davey and the new mp , sarah, will be talking new mp, sarah, will be talking to us here on gb news. well, sarah davies had a very good campaign. she started off very falteringly . she gave what's falteringly. she gave what's been described as a car crash interview right at the beginning of her campaign when she really didn't seem to know to how answer questions. she didn't really seem to have the facts at her but since then, her fingertips. but since then, the lib dem party machine the whole lib dem party machine has swung into action and they've really pulled out the stops to turn around this spectacular victory for them as the results came through. this is what she said earlier on this evening . evening. >> i promise to be an mp standing up for you in westminster tonight has been a stunning and historic victory

for the liberal democrats , and for the liberal democrats, and it shows once and for all the liberal democrats are back in the west country . of course , it the west country. of course, it was actually earlier on this morning, not this evening. >> it's been a very long night already and it's only, what, 8:00 in the morning there will be, as i say, a big victory march here. but many other conservative mps the west conservative mps in the west country now looking country will now be looking over their just little bit their shoulderjust a little bit more than they more cautiously than they were yesterday and looking what yesterday and looking at what the lib dems are doing because they could well take vast swathes of the south—west come the general election next year. >> jeff, thanks very much indeed. well, let's go to boris johnson's old seat. should we? uxbndge johnson's old seat. should we? uxbridge south ruislip, our uxbridge and south ruislip, our national paul hawkins national reporter, paul hawkins is us this morning. is there for us this morning. i mean, this is the one glimmer of hope and delight this morning, i guess, for the conservative party. paul yeah, glimmer being

the operative word. >> probably wouldn't put it any more than that. stephen and that's because there was still a 6.7 swing to labour here. they needed a little bit more for them to reclaim this seat , but them to reclaim this seat, but them to reclaim this seat, but the reason they haven't is because of local issues or namely one local issue, ulez, which for those who don't live in london, it stands for ultra low emission zone. it's essentially a daily charge, £12.50 for high polluting vehicles that travel into the centre of london. sadiq khan wants to extend the boundaries on that to outer london, and it's currently subject of a it's currently the subject of a judicial review at moment judicial review at the moment we're a judgement on we're waiting for a judgement on that. five london borough councils and surrey county council have taken the mayor to court over that and one of those is hillingdon borough council, which is where we are now and thatis which is where we are now and that is where the former county councillor steve luckwell used to sit and he's now the mp for the area. it was a it was a thin margin by they held onto margin by which they held onto the 495 votes that to have the seat, 495 votes that to have a recount . so the seat, 495 votes that to have a recount. so around the seat, 495 votes that to have a recount . so around about 2:00 a recount. so around about 2:00 in the morning. but he did want

to turn it into a referendum on ulez. it's all the all the candidates were banging on about here. and indeed, it's what he mentioned in his speech by—election has been a referendum on ulez. >> it's absolutely been clear what the people of uxbridge and south ruislip want. they don't want ulez expanded and sadiq khan needs listen to the khan needs to listen to the result this by—election. result of this by—election. i wasn't it. wasn't expected to win it. labour were this this by—election has cost well , by—election has cost well, labour have lost this by—election because of the ulez expansion and i'm incredibly proud to been elected proud to have been elected tonight represent the people tonight to represent the people in community that spent in the community that i've spent all . all of my life. >> now, interestingly, in the last half an hour, rishi sunak has tweeted, congratulating steve luckwell. but steve luckwell clearly didn't feel the need to mention him in his speech after his victory. he didn't even put him in his promotional leaflets , banging on promotional leaflets, banging on about how he was more of a local man. born hillingdon, man. he's born in hillingdon, raised in hillingdon, former royal manager here for royal mail manager here for laboun royal mail manager here for labour. big questions now about how they approach the mayoral

election and the general election and the general election next year . the local election next year. the local candidate here, danny beale, who lost out by 495 votes, he said that he didn't agree that ulez should be expanded, saying that it was too much during this cost of living crisis. so how labour approached the next election is going to be interesting. but here are voters. instead of giving the government of the day a kicking, have opted for local issues. >> okay, paul , thank you. >> okay, paul, thank you. >> okay, paul, thank you. >> well, joining us now from westminster is our political reporter olivia utley . well, reporter olivia utley. well, good morning to you, olivia . so good morning to you, olivia. so rishi sunak avoided that by—election clean sweep that we were expecting really based on the papers in the past few weeks. but still two heavy losses for the tories . losses for the tories. >> yes, the tories will be feeling pretty depressed this morning . somerton and selby both morning. somerton and selby both had really big conservative majorities and both have been overturned . ed the tories could overturned. ed the tories could perhaps just about explain away

somerton , although it has been somerton, although it has been a tory seat for the last 1012 years. before that it was a real lib dem stronghold and we know that historically the lib dems have done very well in the south—west the lib dems also tend to do very well at by elections. people are prepared to vote for a third party when we're not talking about a change of government and the lib dems threw that they've of government and the lib dems threat that they've of government and the lib dems threat this that they've of government and the lib dems threat this by—election. ey've of government and the lib dems threat this by—election. there got at this by—election. there were many lib dem activists were so many lib dem activists in somerton . and as for selby, in somerton. and as for selby, though , there isn't really any though, there isn't really any excuse . the conservatives saw excuse. the conservatives saw a swing of 24 points away from them that is the biggest swing we've ever seen in a by—election. if this sort of swing were replicated throughout the country in a general election, it would be a bigger labour landslide than tony blair. and if you look at the demographics of this seat, it is not the sort of seat that the conservatives be losing. not the sort of seat that the con a rvatives be losing. not the sort of seat that the cona rural,es be losing. not the sort of seat that the cona rural, pretty be losing. not the sort of seat that the con a rural, pretty wealthy sing. it's a rural, pretty wealthy seat , but lots of it's a rural, pretty wealthy seat, but lots of mortgage holders. that's not that's not a poor that's not a rundown kind of area. but the tories lost it

anyway. that said, it isn't all good news for labour where they lost uxbridge and yes, of course uxbndge lost uxbridge and yes, of course uxbridge was all about local issues. it wasn't. it can't really be interpreted as a big victory for the conservatives, as was mentioned, steve tuckwell, the candidate, didn't even mention rishi sunak on his election material. it was a referendum on ulez, but the fact that local residents found that local issue of ulez more important than voting for labour suggests perhaps that although the support for labour might be pretty broad, it isn't very deep. if a local issue like ulez can cut through it, then how much can keir starmer rely on those labour votes at the next election? are people just waiting for the tories to give them something to vote for? another issue which we haven't really talked about yet is tactical voting in both selby and somerton. well, in selby the lib dems came in last place with sort of 2 or 3% of the vote and in in somerton labour came very far behind as well. so it looks

like those in opposition to the tories, the liberal democrats and labour in both seats were choosing to vote tactically to help their non—tory partners out, if you like . there was a out, if you like. there was a sort of anyone but tory vote. well, i mean that could be really troubling for the conservatives if replicated at a general election . but general election. but historically, tactical voting worked well in by elections , but worked well in by elections, but you have to be really, really organised to make it work. you have to have activists going around explaining how it all works, telling people who want to vote labour. no, no. in this seat to vote lib dem seat you've got to vote lib dem to conservatives out. to keep the conservatives out. that's a local level, that's doable on a local level, but historically on general but historically on a general election level that can't really be replicate. so might be be replicate. and so we might be seeing non tory votes seeing those non tory votes really inflated in these by elections in a way that we couldn't really extrapolate out onto a general election. that's what the conservatives will be telling themselves. this morning anyway. or another anyway. but one way or another it's not a happy morning. >> o okay, olivia, thanks very much indeed . much indeed. >> well, let's get analysis from david mellor, former chief

secretary the treasury, who secretary to the treasury, who here. see you, david. here. good to see you, david. what make of it all? what do you make of it all? >> well, i suddenly remembered that 60 years ago i followed my first by—election at orpington one where the lib dems had a spectacular victory . and over spectacular victory. and over the ensuing decades , the lib the ensuing decades, the lib dems have been having spectacular victories because as my late old friend austin mitchell, the labour mp for grimsby, always said , the lib grimsby, always said, the lib dems are a bucket for the electorate to spit in. and i think there's a bit of that that having been said, although uxbndge having been said, although uxbridge was a good result, although of course , don't forget although of course, don't forget the tories were doing very badly in london at the last election , in london at the last election, so the uxbridge majority should have been much more and olivia very competent person. i don't agree with her that ulez is a local issue. ulez affects the whole of london. london is what, 100 parliamentary seats ? yes. 100 parliamentary seats? yes. but also what it will give the

tories the chance to say is that labour are very good at criticising the tories, but when it comes to their own policies, i wouldn't take a big risk. they'll say on some ulez type thing, but essentially this is a poor result for the tories. however much you say, well, it's a by—election, by elections are like that and i and i think the reason it's a poor result is that the tories don't deserve a good result . i that the tories don't deserve a good result. i mean, that the tories don't deserve a good result . i mean, the tories good result. i mean, the tories are in such a mess, aren't they? and every time it looks as though rishi sunak can pull himself off the floor for somebody like boris comes along and sort of pushes him back in to the places where a leader will not want to go and so it looks as though on this evidence the tories are not going to win the tories are not going to win the next election . and i the next election. and i personally would be astonish if they did. but these by elections

alone do not determine that issue. >> no , but they do show that the >> no, but they do show that the conservatives do have a lot to be concerned about. and if we're looking at a general election in the next 12 to 18 months, probably in the next year, what does rishi sunak need to do now? we've got those five key pledges . we need to see some some effort going into those and some results as well. >> he's got rather a lot to do actually, and this is going to be his problem. first of all, he's got to try and get people like boris johnson to shut up. now, that's going be easier now, that's going to be easier said done. secondly, he's said than done. secondly, he's got project a real got to project himself as a real national leader. i think he's an extremely competent person . and extremely competent person. and listening to some of his interviews he plainly knows his interviews, he plainly knows his stuff. but what he hasn't got is that elusive quality , that that elusive quality, that charisma. i mean , i shan't charisma. i mean, i shan't repeat my old joke about he's one of those who thinks charisma is december the 25th, but you know, it is actually quite troubling that he doesn't project himself as a great

national leader. project himself as a great national leader . and if he can't national leader. and if he can't do that, what else are the tories got to play with? and the answer has to be the tories look played out . they look a spent played out. they look a spent force . and, you know, there are force. and, you know, there are moments when a period in opposition does a party good. >> what about the idea and it's being talked about a reshuffle in september. there's more murmurings. there could be a reshuffle today . i mean, it reshuffle today. i mean, it takes some of the focus away from the results. perhaps it's a way of saying to the electorate, all right, we need you know, we've done badly, let's sort this out and have a big reshuffle. >> but in order to have a reshuffle , you've got to have reshuffle, you've got to have talent that will ready to come in. >> well, but is there some on the backbenches? >> now, i mean, know. >> who knows? now, i mean, know. but i think the problem is this is a weak government. it is a weak cabinet. and one of the few stars that they have. the defence secretary has pulled out of politics. that's a remarkable thing . one of 47 conservative

thing. one of 47 conservative members of parliament who aren't going to stand again . and some going to stand again. and some of the people whose names are being dragged into the possibility of becoming defence secretaries as defence secretary. there is not much star quality there. you know, when i think back to get nostalgic for the days of margaret thatcher, but she had a strong team and she made it stronger by tolerating people who didn't really agree with her. whatever she might have said about them behind their backs , it's a problem for backs, it's a problem for politics that really good people are no longer attracted to politics. and what she was able to do was to project the idea that the tories were a distinguished bunch. how is rishi sunak going to do that when actually he's having to make bricks without straw ? in make bricks without straw? in a lot of instances ? lot of instances? >> can we talk about the banking situation? yes and the whole the whole farage debacle ?

whole farage debacle? >> well, well, first of all, i mean , what idiots they must be mean, what idiots they must be at natwest because of course remember coutts is a is a branch of natwest , not a bank. i gave of natwest, not a bank. i gave up once, by the way. oh, did you? yes because i was. i was a customer and they my son and three of his mates went to south america on their gap year , america on their gap year, robbed at gunpoint. the first night. and all these people who banked at barclays in a bald spot road got their cards back . spot road got their cards back. but it was beyond the capacity of coutts despite their reputation to do the same so i abandoned the coutts so there you are. however i would certainly abandon them if i was still with them now because what they, what they wrote about nigel farage is a disgrace and the reason it's a disgrace if you have a banking licence, your job is to provide banking services . it's not your job to services. it's not your job to sit in judgement on your customers opinions and now i've

got to say to myself , it's time got to say to myself, it's time for heads to roll, isn't it? i feel like the old granny sitting beneath a guillotine and french revolution saying, i want blood , but there's got to be some blood. hasn't there? >> it's apology's gone anyway to solve it. >> no, because look, at the end of the day , you know, dame of the day, you know, dame alison rose. who she. ed, i really heard of her. but anyway, she's now made herself front page news. do you know what she earns? 5 million a year. that's more than you guys get. certainly more than i get 5 million a year is what she gets. now how many if she called us in as her adviser and said, i'm thinking of getting rid of nigel farage because he's not the right image for the bank. wouldn't you have said, don't be daft, it's not your job to sit in judgement on people's political opinions, the political opinions, the political opinions, the political opinions of your customers. and if she thinks she can make an apology and then it's business as usual and next year the 5 million will come in

just as it did last year. i think that something should be done about this. remember, we as the taxpayers own 38% of this bank. the taxpayers own 38% of this bank . now, where's the chairman? bank. now, where's the chairman? where's the board? why aren't they stepping in to restore confidence? so and i think anyway , there'll be lots of anyway, there'll be lots of other stuff that nigel will be fishing around and trying to get. so i think this is a scandal that will run and run and it is a scandal because they lied. they lied that it was the fact he didn't have enough cash in his account. that meant they could get rid of him. but the reality is they got rid of him because they didn't like his politics. >> nigel farage has now asked for dame alison rose to be questioned by mps. yes do you think it should go that far? should there be an investigation? >> i think she should be given a really hard time and do you know what i think she will be given a really hard time. look, it's irresistible. i mean, a lot of people, politics, they

people, you know, politics, they always say never hit a man or a woman when he's down. it's easier to kick them. she's going to get a real kicking. and she deserves it because, frankly, if she had any sense, she'd resign . but she isn't going to resign . she thinks, you know, a sort of carefully crafted, totally unconvincing apology in that letter she sent round is going to be enough to save her skin . to be enough to save her skin. at the end of the day, if banks are going to learn from this . are going to learn from this. and, you know, the idea i mean, it's ludicrous, isn't it? the idea of banks , banks and we know idea of banks, banks and we know what they've been up to every idea of banks, banks and we know what 'weeke been up to every idea of banks, banks and we know what 'week you en up to every idea of banks, banks and we know what 'week you were to every idea of banks, banks and we know what 'week you were gettingy every week you were getting stuff about banks. the idea that they are commanding the moral high ground. come on. >> yeah. the hardly moral arbiters, are they? >> exactly. >> exactly. >> david, as always , good to see >> david, as always, good to see you.thank >> david, as always, good to see you. thank you much indeed i >> -- >> and now, do you buy now and pay >> and now, do you buy now and pay later ? i certainly do. yeah. pay later? i certainly do. yeah. more on this after the weather. this is news, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers

>> proud sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there . good morning. >> hello there. good morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here of your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. touch of a cool start where we've held on to clear skies overnight and there is a bit of sunshine around, but for northern ireland, southern scotland northern england northern ireland, southern s(island northern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite northern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudythern england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from england northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from the land northern ireland, southern s(is quite cloudy from the word it is quite cloudy from the word go. few scattered showers in go. a few scattered showers in there. be there. that cloud will be progressing its across the progressing its way across the rest england and wales rest of england and wales throughout the day. so the sunshine turning bit sunshine perhaps turning a bit hazier best of the hazier later on. best of the sunshine, perhaps across southwestern of scotland southwestern areas of scotland and actually and the northern isles. actually starting sunnier starting to see a few sunnier spells but we'll be spells developing. but we'll be a day with that a relatively cool day with that cloud around temperatures between 16 and 22 c. this rain is also going start spreading is also going to start spreading its as we do head its way in as we do head throughout the night. so more patchy outbreaks pushing into nonh patchy outbreaks pushing into north parts of north west england and parts of wales generally far wales as well. generally the far south of england and the northern areas of scotland holding to some of the holding on to some of the clearer spells overnight that will just those will just allow those temperatures to drop off a touch, particularly those touch, particularly in those sheltered scotland. sheltered glens of scotland. but into it is watching

it's 834. >> good morning to you. you're watching and listening to breakfast with stephen and ellie. >> now , question for you. oh, >> now, question for you. oh, yes. have you ever tried by now ' pay yes. have you ever tried by now , pay later? you know, like the clear klarna clear. play those kind of. >> yeah, i have done in the past. have you. >> yeah. all good. >> yeah. all good. >> yes. well it's been fine. >> yes. well it's been fine. >> yeah, well, it says that they do a little checks before you actually sign up to these buy now pay later schemes and they have grown in popularity with now pay later schemes and they have g|who in popularity with now pay later schemes and they have g|who do oopularity with now pay later schemes and they have g|who do wish arity with now pay later schemes and they have g|who do wish ari'buy things people who do wish to buy things

but for them across several but pay for them across several months. but consumer champions now also fly. just flew into my face. believe that more regulation is now needed in the industry. >> okay. let's talk to personal finance and consumer affairs commentator georgie frost. good morning to you, georgie. what's the issue with these buy now, pay the issue with these buy now, pay later schemes . pay later schemes. >> very good morning to you both. yeah, look , ellie will say both. yeah, look, ellie will say this too . there's a reason that this too. there's a reason that people use this millions of people use this millions of people use this millions of people use it. it's a very convenient way to pay for your goods. convenient way to pay for your goods . you get to a checkout, goods. you get to a checkout, say you want to buy a dress that you otherwise or something more expensive otherwise expensive that you otherwise wouldn't to afford. it wouldn't be able to afford. it allows you to pay in instalments and generally interest free. why doesit and generally interest free. why does it do that? well, these companies like clearpay and connor and laybuy and there are many of them, they will work with the retailer, get a cut of the pay and that's how they can

charge you or not charge you for it. what's in it for the retailer? we apparently spend up to 50% more user on these services. now, as i said , not services. now, as i said, not knocking an alternate way to pay the problem is spiralling debt . the problem is spiralling debt. and there's an issue with the fact that if you are buying something, they haven't been affordable ability check because this is an unread related space. they don't know like a credit card company for example, before they give you a credit card will do all these background checks just to check that you are not currently in debt or you're good at paying your money back. the same of service not same sort of service is not offered with these types of products. now we thought regulation was going to be coming down the line by the end of this year. there was a consultation that was opened up in february and actually it was the regulator that was saying that this is a big review was opened up in 2020. that said , opened up in 2020. that said, and this is urgent need to

regulate all buy now pay later products given its significant potential for consumer harm . potential for consumer harm. that was a review into this in 2021. we thought the government agreed with that . we thought agreed with that. we thought regulation was coming down the line. and we're hearing this weekend or last weekend that actually those plans might be shelved in a cost of living crisis. i think taking away or not having extra protections for consumers in place is deeply concerning . concerning. >> right. so are you looking at i mean, it's all i mean, in effect, you're saying we don't have enough self regulation that those people who, you know , are those people who, you know, are a bit tempted to do a bit more shopping when they haven't got the money are just going to find themselves in a whole load of trouble without eerily trouble without necessary eerily realising . realising it. >> so this is not me saying this is people's responsibility. i actually think the wider industry needs to be looked at. there are issues with the fact that they've been found. there's

not of and you can tell me not a lot of and you can tell me when you get to the checkout because i've used this because i've never used this before. it's not really something that i would use. but when the checkout, when you get to the checkout, there up to six different there can be up to six different providers . there's lot of providers. there's not a lot of information about what will happen don't pay back in happen if you don't pay back in time. can affect your credit time. it can affect your credit rating, could affect , say, rating, which could affect, say, you a mortgage or any you getting a mortgage or any other . it's other credit in the future. it's sold as a lifestyle option. and like i said, i don't want to knock it. millions of people. it offers them an opportunity and a way to pay. and if you can budget that and afford it, then absolutely that's that's fine. i'm not knocking it. but it's not regulated. so if something goes wrong, you have no where to 90, goes wrong, you have no where to go, whereas if a credit card company, if there's a problem with your purchase, you have something called section 75, which means you're likely to get your money back there aren't the same consumer protections that you would get should anything thing go wrong. you can't go to the financial ombudsman, the financial conduct authority have no say in this matter.

financial conduct authority have no say in this matter . and there no say in this matter. and there is just you don't know what you're really clicking on to at the end. is this provider going to charge me? is it how much is it going to charge me when there's just not enough information? and what regulation will do ? i mean, there's been will do? i mean, there's been threats that the big players will pull out and i assume that's what government are that's what the government are worried they're worried about, that they're going pulling out and going to be pulling out and therefore limit the options for consumers the consumers. but actually, the head himself said, head of the fca himself said, i don't see that that's an issue and we're going to plough on ahead. it shouldn't if you ahead. and it shouldn't if you do thing and you do the right thing and you follow why shouldn't follow regulation, why shouldn't you be looked at? look at by a regulator and consumers protected . protected. >> okay. georgie frost, really good to speak to you this morning . it certainly is a worry morning. it certainly is a worry . i mean, i use it quite often for big purchases. apple, airpods a month or two ago and i put it on one of these buy now pay put it on one of these buy now pay later schemes, which is great. so you just pay £30 a month for three months. it just is a nice way to budget, but it is a nice way to budget, but it is how easy it is. like

is scary how easy it is. like georgie says, get to the georgie says, you get to the checkout, six different checkout, the six different options. checkout, the six different opfions. i checkout, the six different options. i imagine could options. so i imagine you could have manner of these things. have all manner of these things. you could have six different arrangement out. >> yes, well got to >> yes, well you've got to you've be it's easy for you've got to be it's easy for me to say, isn't it? but you've got to be strict with yourself , got to be strict with yourself, haven't you? you've got to you've to remember what you've got to remember what you've got to remember what you've you're you've already what you're already paying. >> that's it. because there's no reminders, very, reminders, no very, very difficult of. do difficult to keep track of. do let us know if you're using these schemes. how do you find it? i mean, it is good and a cost of living crisis in terms of budgeting to spread things out, those out, especially those big payments, very payments, but very, very difficult keep track of. and difficult to keep track of. and have you been caught out by those additional payments? do let know. gb views let us know. gb views gbnews.com. yeah >> yeah. anyway, we've got all the big stories from the papers heading your way very shortly. this is .

backdrop of a cost of living crisis. it's gone up by about 45% from 86 million to 125 million. now, the monarchy's annual budget is known as a sovereign grant, and it's sort of pegged against the profits from the royal estate . the from the royal estate. the guardian are basically reporting this so that the review of the royal funding settlement has been spun by the treasury to give the impression that the king is essentially taking a pay cut. he's not. he's getting a significantly larger slice . i significantly larger slice. i think part of the reason this hasn't projected to happen until 2025, it's going to go up by a further million pounds in 2026. and this is as a result of the crown estate earning more money. they've sold off or they've i think they've sublet out like one farm sort of space. and that's to led a huge rise. >> fair enough though, isn't it? >> fair enough though, isn't it? >> well, i mean, it's crown estate when people are struggling to put money on the side to put food on the table and they're struggling with money and going out as money coming in and going out as quite as the way in which

happens. i mean, i think it's so , so popular. these clinics , so, so popular. these clinics make a huge amount of money. oh, yeah. are they going to yeah. so what are they going to do? mean, i don't know how do? i mean, i don't know how they're to they're going they're going to they're going to able encourage people to be able to encourage people to be able to encourage people to being to lose weight without being able these drugs to lose weight without being able people these drugs to lose weight without being able people go 1ese drugs to lose weight without being able people go there rugs to lose weight without being able people go there fors because people go there for them. >> but you can't give people this jab lose weight this jab to lose weight privately not enough privately if there's not enough for who need to for people who need it to control their blood glucose. >> exactly. yeah. so they're saying there's even to saying that there's not even to going meet demand going be enough to meet demand till mid 2024. so they've till about mid 2024. so they've told them, just calm down now, stop prescribing them. this stop prescribing them. but this is going on. i think is what's going on. i think a lot of are sort of lot of people are sort of relying the jab to relying on the jab to lose weight rather than other weight rather than using other means. it terrifies means. yeah well, it terrifies means. yeah well, it terrifies me actually. >> the of regulation in >> the lack of regulation in with these weight loss jabs for people taking it for people who aren't taking it for diabetes. i know skinny diabetes. and i know many skinny people of who are people, friends of mine who are on this weight loss jab really ? on this weight loss jab really? yeah. and because you don't need to do anything, you just fill out a form online. you to out a form online. you have to upload photo. but it's very, upload a photo. but it's very, very to yourself very easy to make yourself appear in photograph. appear bigger in a photograph. and they've got access to appear bigger in a photograph. andjab. they've got access to appear bigger in a photograph. andjab. ithey've got access to appear bigger in a photograph. andjab. i mean, got access to appear bigger in a photograph. andjab. i mean, ifot access to appear bigger in a photograph. and jab. i mean, if you're ss to

tories, not not all for labour , tories, not not all for labour, but the he too would go to the seats would go to labour one to the lib dems. it's not worked out quite like that. >> it hasn't it. no. has it. there's been one for labour, one for lib dems and the tories for the lib dems and the tories have clung in uxbridge and have clung on in uxbridge and south ruislip by about 495 votes. i think very tight had to be a recount about 2:00 this morning. >> so where does that leave us then? when we've got all three of the main parties winning a seat? it's got to be said, you know, in the tories clinging on labour absolutely seems smashing. a huge tory majority , smashing. a huge tory majority, as have the lib dems . lib dems as have the lib dems. lib dems doneit as have the lib dems. lib dems done it even more , actually an done it even more, actually an even bigger swing to them . so even bigger swing to them. so but they're very good at local elections. >> they are . they are. and there >> they are. they are. and there was a there was a very good view on that actually which essentially said if you are a tory voter, traditionally you probably won't ever vote labour, but you might be able to hold

your nose. this viewer says, and vote lib dem. and she thinks that's what happened down in somerton and frome . perhaps you somerton and frome. perhaps you agree? obviously i can't find the view now, but i did remember it and it was very good. >> yeah, i mean, it it's very interesting though. people's perception in all of this . jane perception in all of this. jane has been in touch and says the conservative lives are finished if stick with rishi sunak conservative lives are finished if the stick with rishi sunak conservative lives are finished if the generalth rishi sunak conservative lives are finished if the general electionsunak conservative lives are finished if the general election .|nak conservative lives are finished if the general election . now, for the general election. now, there's a lot of people unhappy with rishi lot of with rishi sunak. a lot of people are saying you're probably who thinks probably one of them who thinks , well, johnson should , well, boris johnson should have was . is the have stayed where he was. is the problem now , though, problem you've got now, though, if a tory supporter , is if you're a tory supporter, is it if you change leadership , if it if you change leadership, if you change the man at the top ? you change the man at the top? now then you don't stand a chance. now then you don't stand a chance . yes. i mean, that rules chance. yes. i mean, that rules you out from winning an election because the party would be seen as being in absolute key chaos. and to be fair, it'd be the same if it happened to keir starmer. now, this close to an election , now, this close to an election, it would be it'd be a death wish, frankly. so it's a it's a

very odd situation that the government is finding themselves in. and is the labour party strong enough at the moment? that's a criticism . but the old that's a criticism. but the old adage has never been more true that the parties don't win. general elections. governments lose them. yeah. >> and what is rishi sunak going to do next? i mean, are we to going see a reshuffle there have been whispers about a reshuffle potentially today, but definitely in the next few weeks and months , we will see a and months, we will see a reshuffle perhaps in a bid to try and freshen things up. so those five pledges, the right ones and would the prime minister be right to stick to them? yeah. do let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com >> let's talk to the shadow justice secretary steve reed, who joins us now. good to see you this morning. i mean, look, congratulations on winning selby and ainsty with your brand new freshly polished 25 year old member of parliament who hopefully can bring a bit of

fresh blood into the into the house of commons. and i mean a fantastic result for the labour party there. disappointing though in uxbridge and south ruislip . ruislip. >> yeah, that's right. well thank you. it's great. good to be with you here from uxbridge this morning. steve yes. i mean the result in selby in north yorkshire was the was labour's best ever by—election result. we've never in our history overturned a 20 000 majority before . so we are so grateful to before. so we are so grateful to people who came out and voted laboun people who came out and voted labour, people who'd never voted labour, people who'd never voted labour before . and it shows you labour before. and it shows you just what trouble the government is in, but it also shows you how far labour's changed in these past three and a half years because that's the time it's been since labour suffered in december 2019, our worst ever worst general election defeat for 85 years. and to have come this far in three and a half years under keir starmer's leadership just shows how that trust that had been broken is starting to be to be rebuilt . starting to be to be rebuilt. and we're really, really excited

and grateful to people for putting their trust in labour. but as you say here in uxbridge, the result wasn't quite as good. we still got a big swing to labourin we still got a big swing to labour in this seat. there had been a 7000 conservative majority previously when boris johnson, the former conservative prime minister, was elected in 2019. now it's less than 500. now that is a big swing, but we wanted to get it over the line. we wanted to get our candidate elected as the member of parliament and he didn't quite get there. so we need to listen to what voters have been saying in uxbridge that makes it different in terms of the swing to labour. from what we saw in nonh north yorkshire. >> with all of this, >> the irony with all of this, mr reed, is that it is the payola counts. the labour mayor of london, sadiq khan , who has of london, sadiq khan, who has lost that seat for you over his controversial ulez plan and so where is. well, that's that's what that's sorry, steve. >> that's what we're. you're saying? that's exactly what the conservative candidate said in

his victory acceptance speech last night. he he said that if it wasn't for ulez labour would have won. labour would have won this seat. now that's that's his view. but what a thing to say for a conservative lviv who's just been elected in a seat to basically that people in basically admit that people in uxbndge basically admit that people in uxbridge and south ruislip , just uxbridge and south ruislip, just like across the rest of the country, confidence in country, have no confidence in the conservative stewardship of the conservative stewardship of the if it just comes the economy if it just comes down to that one issue. now, i've been in i've been in uxbndge i've been in i've been in uxbridge times over the i've been in i've been in uxb|fewe times over the i've been in i've been in uxb|few weeks. times over the i've been in i've been in uxb|few weeks. i've�*s over the i've been in i've been in uxb|few weeks. i've spoken he i've been in i've been in uxb|few weeks. i've spoken to last few weeks. i've spoken to hundreds of voters myself. we've had activists out had many labour activists out here and a lot of people raised concerns about ulez with us and the that they put it was at the way that they put it was at a when the conservatives a time when the conservatives have economy and have crashed the economy and sent people's mortgages through the prices the shops the roof and prices in the shops are still rocketing at around 17% a year. that's the rate of food inflation. is this the right time to be introducing a ulez charge? and they didn't want to see it. and i believe it stopped people who would otherwise have come and voted. labour from coming to vote, labour from coming out to vote, vote this time. so

vote labour. this time. so you have to always reflect on what the voters tell you when you're a politician, the voters are the boss here. so we have to reflect in the light day on what in the cold light of day on what could been done could have been done differently. and those responsible policy will responsible for this policy will need to what the need to listen to what the voters said and consider need to listen to what the voters thingsd and consider need to listen to what the voters things nowi consider need to listen to what the voters things now needider need to listen to what the voters things now need toer change. >> and it's a i mean, you may well be right saying, well, voters don't have confidence in the stewardship that the conservatives have over the country, but it certainly indicates that they don't have confidence stewardship confidence in the stewardship that over the that labour's got over the caphal that labour's got over the capital. well i don't agree with you entirely because we've still got a pretty big swing here in uxbridge. >> we've got our best result that we've ever had the that we've ever had on the current boundaries this seat current boundaries in this seat and you know, it and this seat. you know, it elected boris when at elected boris johnson when at the time the leader of the conservative party and prime minister our country. you minister of our country. if you had me three and a half had said to me three and a half years labour would even years ago that labour would even have in contention in this years ago that labour would even have i in contention in this years ago that labour would even have i wouldn't�*ntention in this years ago that labour would even have i wouldn't have on in this years ago that labour would even have i wouldn't have believed seat, i wouldn't have believed you that where we find you yet. that is where we find ourselves today. the disappointment is we disappointment for me is we didn't get it across the line . didn't get it across the line. we could have had a labour mp

and haven't and we and yet we haven't got and we saw achievable . all saw what's achievable. all because yorkshire, up because in north yorkshire, up in we got a much, much in selby we got a much, much bigger swing to labour. so if ulez is an issue for voters, then it's only right that those politicians responsible for ulez listen and reflect and think about how things could possibly be done differently. >> but mr reid, the result in uxbndge >> but mr reid, the result in uxbridge , the retention of uxbridge, the retention of uxbndge uxbridge, the retention of uxbridge by the tories. it is a warning , isn't it, of just how warning, isn't it, of just how much work sir keir starmer has got on his plate to be confident of winning a general election because he does still seem to be a long way from creating that excitement about labour that trumps these local issues such as ulez . he trumps these local issues such as ulez. he does need to go further, doesn't he, to give people a reason to vote for labour rather than against the tories ? tories? >> well, i think i think there's truth in what you say there actually, because this wasn't the general election, it was a number of by elections across the country. the general election will come next year, 12

to 18 months away still. and there's more labour needs to do. but i think the fact that we've got people coming out and voting labour never labour who have never voted labour who have never voted labour in lives labour before in their lives shows we moving in the shows that we are moving in the right are we where we right direction. are we where we need to be yet? none of us need to be yet? no, none of us would that. i think we need would say that. i think we need to have the humility to understand that the voters and the party been a the labour party have been on a journey past three and the labour party have been on a johalfy past three and the labour party have been on a jo half years, past three and the labour party have been on a jo half years, we're past three and the labour party have been on a johalf years, we're starting�*e and the labour party have been on a jo half years, we're starting toand a half years, we're starting to build back trust keir build back trust under keir starmer's leadership, have starmer's leadership, there have been absolutely shattered. but we're far forwards as we we're not as far forwards as we need to be. but we've got another year, another year and a half and we will listening half and we will keep listening to and make to voters respectfully and make sure that the labour party can address their day concerns sure that the labour party can ad a ess their day concerns sure that the labour party can ada way:heir day concerns sure that the labour party can ada way that day concerns sure that the labour party can ada way that this day concerns sure that the labour party can ada way that this conservative|s in a way that this conservative government, with their failed stewardship of the economy, have shown past 13 shown us over these past 13 years. they're not capable of doing. >> i just wanted to get your reaction on some comments reaction on to some comments about mather, who's about care mather, who's obviously won just the selby seat, just 25 years old. what's he being called? the babe of the baby of the house? baby of the house. that's it. graham one of

our viewers has just emailed in saying he's too young, he's got no life experience. and we've just heard the veterans minister, johnny mercer , minister, sir johnny mercer, likening mather to one of likening keir mather to one of the characters from the inbetweeners. what do you make of those comments? well i think johnny mercer is being shockingly ignorant and disrespectful to young people. >> there . parliament works when >> there. parliament works when it a diversity of it has a diversity of representatives who are members of parliament that means, i think, the average age of an mp is around why shouldn't is around 55. why shouldn't young people have a voice in parliament too? they're also suffering from the cost of living crisis. they're suffering from issues around funding higher education, and they want to have issues raised in to have their issues raised in parliament, like people who parliament, just like people who are older. i'd say to johnny are older. and i'd say to johnny mercer is when winston mercer this is when winston churchill first elected as a churchill was first elected as a member of parliament. he was 25, the same age as keir mather. i think johnny needs to really sit back and reflect on why he's being so disrespectful when really i hope when keir mather gets into parliament, johnny mercer shake his mercer will come and shake his hand and congratulate him on his

success in overturning a 20,000 conservative and conservative majority and turning selby and labour i >> -- >> well, i wouldn't put money on that. >> well, i wouldn't put money on that . to be >> well, i wouldn't put money on that. to be fair , i live in hope. >> i live in hope. you know . >> i live in hope. you know. >> i live in hope. you know. >> you know. good try, steve reid, it's really good to talk to you this morning. >> thanks very much indeed. you too. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> bye bye. thank you . >> bye bye. thank you. >> bye bye. thank you. >> no imagine i've met johnny mercer a few times. it's a nice fellow. he's a nice fella. so i'm sure if he's if he's caused offence, i'm sure he'd apologise for that. but i don't think he's going to be on the scale of the victory. not to victory. no, he's not going to be thrilled. be too thrilled. >> he'll be going up to shake his i wouldn't hold your his hand. i wouldn't hold your breath one. breath on that one. >> . >> no. >> no. >> i'll you >> no. » ru >> no. >> i'll you this clip now, >> i'll show you this clip now, a moments prime a few moments ago, the prime minister to last minister responded to last night's results, there's night's results, saying there's more be done . more hard work to be done. >> westminster been acting >> westminster has been acting like the election a done like the next election is a done deal like the next election is a done deal. labour party's been deal. the labour party's been acting it's done deal . acting like it's a done deal. the people of uxbridge just told all it's not now . all of them that it's not now. no one expected to win here,

no one expected us to win here, but steve's victory demonstrates that when confronted with the actual reality of the labour party, when there's an actual choice on a matter of substance at stake, people vote. conservative >> what do you make of that? >> what do you make of that? >> well, look, i'll tell you what, it's animated in that he looks very happy, doesn't he? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> steve, i've got this surname now. the new mp. no no. begins with a t, and anyway, he just looks thrilled. stood behind the prime minister. >> no, he doesn't. well, he didn't mention the prime minister in his victory speech. and in any of his and it also wasn't in any of his literature , literature, campaign literature, literature, campaign literature, literature, campaign literature . hm. interesting. literature. hm. interesting. >> but you know, the pm's, the pm is there, he's being enthusiastic . the problem with enthusiastic. the problem with all of these things and of course you know it as well as we do, that of course the tories are running around saying, isn't it marvellous ? uxbridge, it marvellous? uxbridge, uxbridge, uxbridge and the labour party running about saying isn't it marvellous? selby, selby, selby .

jack carson is out the outside. the queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham for us this morning. a line behind you, jack. a picket line behind you, jack. yeah it's the second day of strikes here at the queen elizabeth hospital. >> this is the only picket line that the british medical association round of association in this round of strikes put together here strikes have put together here in west midlands. but, of in the west midlands. but, of course, in this 48 hour strike, what the nhs is seeing and what patients are having to deal with is effectively two days of christmas day services in a row. so it's very basic care, urgent care, emergency care will all be provided . still, the nhs still provided. still, the nhs still telling people that if you are in a life threatening situation, still to call 999, but when you do get to hospital, those levels of care won't be anywhere near the levels that, of course we see normally within certain units. i was speaking actually to a trauma surgeon here on the picket line today about why it was he was striking . it was very was he was striking. it was very clear that very much not clear that he's very much not necessarily that pay necessarily paid, but that pay being live in order being an incense live in order to staff because he was to retain staff because he was saying that many of his

colleagues being offered colleagues have being offered positions on twice the money just he says a half an hour flight away. so that's very much where this issue of pay does come into it. but of course, in terms of the public, some people very , very particularly very, very annoyed, particularly patients the amount of patients as the amount of appointments that have had to be rescheduled. of course, the nhs saying this morning that saying saying this morning that actually the data hasn't. well been published, but because of the junior doctors strike of course last week and then suddenly so soon afterwards , suddenly so soon afterwards, these doctors strikes that it's going to be tens of thousands of appointments to be appointments that have had to be rescheduled. know that since rescheduled. we know that since all industrial action all this industrial action started back december, though started back in december, though , about eight months worth of industrial has meant industrial action has meant 650,000 appointments have had to be rescheduled or possibly be cancelled. of course, that is adding to that 7.4 million waiting list that the nhs is having. but of course steve barclay saying that they're not going to go into negotiate with the with the british medical association because of that independent pay review body

offer a recommendation of 6. offer of a recommendation of 6. they've put that forward to the union. but the union saying these strikes might not, not might not well conclude because that offer is unacceptable to them . them. >> okay, jack, thanks very much indeed. not a happy situation , indeed. not a happy situation, is it? keep your thoughts coming through on that. we've got much is it? keep your thoughts coming throu1comingiat. we've got much is it? keep your thoughts coming throu1coming up,we've got much is it? keep your thoughts coming throu1coming up, including much is it? keep your thoughts coming throu1coming up, including lots:h more coming up, including lots on royals shortly .
