9:03 pm
the west now has a new kind of economics called woke nomics . economics called woke nomics. the former prime minister is in washington to speak alongside nigel farage and donald trump, who will make the headline speech on saturday. the mother of . putin speech on saturday. the mother of. putin dissident speech on saturday. the mother of . putin dissident alexei of. putin dissident alexei navalny has accused russian investigators of planning to bury her son in secret and without a funeral. lyudmila navalny says she has now finally been able to view her son's body after being taken to a morgue last night. in a video published online, she said the death certificate suggested he died of natural causes. navalny's family accuses the russian president of aukus dating his murder. the kremlin , though, says putin had kremlin, though, says putin had nothing to do with his death . nothing to do with his death. now in spain tonight in the popular tourist destination of valencia , firefighters are valencia, firefighters are battling a devastating blaze which is engulfing an entire apartment building. if you're watching on television, take a look at these pictures of the
9:04 pm
entire block consumed by flames. these latest images coming to us, showing all 14 floors ablaze as burning pieces of the building , fall to the pavement building, fall to the pavement below . witnesses on the ground below. witnesses on the ground reporting seeing residents calling for help from balconies and hearing explosions inside that block of flats. an engineer has been speaking to el pais , has been speaking to el pais, the main newspaper in spain, suggesting that combustible cladding may be to blame and many on social media are drawing similarities to the grenfell tower disaster. of similarities to the grenfell tower disaster . of 2017. well, tower disaster. of 2017. well, it's going to be something of a change in the weather coming up. we're told there'll be a burst of intense showers, hail and thunderstorms across england and wales, which will force some schools to shut and has already begun to disrupt transport. but heavy rain flooded roads and railway lines , with 73 flood railway lines, with 73 flood warnings in place across the uk today in herefordshire and worcestershire, several schools closed down because of rising
9:05 pm
flood levels and what the authorities are saying are treacherous conditions. and as that wet weather eases, the met office is now warning of colder temperatures this weekend that could drop below minus three in some areas . for the very latest some areas. for the very latest stories, do sign up to gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts . i think the slash alerts. i think the speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle, is shamelessly hiding behind the terrorist threat to divert from the idea that he could say shady, grubby deal with sir keir starmer's labour party over the ceasefire vote. >> mr hoyle and starmer both deny the accusation, but it's the labour leader who is the big villain in all of this. the fact is that if sir lindsay hadn't gone feral yesterday and allowed a labour amendment, all the headunes a labour amendment, all the headlines today would be about the total turmoil . keir starmer the total turmoil. keir starmer is in. 100 labour mps were set to rebel against him last night.
9:06 pm
shadow cabinet ministers going the catastrophic division in the labour party would have been presented the wound presented like the gaping wound it for all to see in it is for all to see in a general election year. look how happy labour mps were today. apparently they cheered the speaker when he went into the commons tea room. one of two things have happened here. either labour bigwigs have got sir lindsay by the ear lobe and told him that it'll be out of a job under a labour government if he doesn't do what they want, or sir keir starmer played the sir keir starmer has played the you'll have blood hands you'll have blood on your hands card . either way, it's card. either way, it's absolutely shameful. and the speaker of the house, penny mordaunt, or should i say leader of the house penny mordaunt, was on earlier today. on to starmer earlier today. >> we have seen into the heart of labour's leadership not nothing is more important than the interests of the labour party , the labour party, before party, the labour party, before more principle, the labour party before individual rights , the
9:07 pm
before individual rights, the labour party before the reputation and honour of the decent man that sits in speaker's chair. well now keir starmer has come out and said this today. >> i can categorically tell you that i did not threaten the speaker in any way whatsoever . i speaker in any way whatsoever. i simply urged him to ensure that we have the broadest possible debate and your mps , the debate and your mps, the broadest possible debate . um, so broadest possible debate. um, so that actually the most important thing, which is what do we do about the awful situation in gaza, could be properly discussed by mps. >> but then lindsay hoyle today stands up and essentially said he received information that could mean that attacks on members of parliament were imminent and there was an increased terror threat. i had serious meetings yesterday with the police on the issues and threats to politicians , threats, threats to politicians, threats, heading to an election , and i do heading to an election, and i do not want anything to happen
9:08 pm
again . again. >> so yes , i will apologise . i >> so yes, i will apologise. i always will when i make a mistake . mistake. >> i'm on a minute where did that come from then, sir lindsay , was it starmer.7 we know sir keir starmer went to visit lindsay hoyle personally . but lindsay hoyle personally. but you know why.7 i don't really believe that. it's all about this so—called terror threat . this so—called terror threat. well this is what lindsay hoyle said initially when he allowed the labour vote. no mention of threats or safety here. >> finally, i should tell the house that in my opinion, the operation of standing order number 31, which governs the way amendments to the opposition day motions are dealt with, reflects an outdated approach which . an outdated approach which. >> it was an outdated approach. just after meeting keir starmer. not a peep about mp safety. there how can we believe that? he says that he cares for mp safety. when sir david amess was stabbed to death by a rabid islamist , the debate in the islamist, the debate in the commons was all about social media. when mike freer mp said
9:09 pm
he was quitting because of in part, islamist threats, sir lindsay came out and said mps need to make sure they speak more kindly to each other. >> what we've got to have is more respect and tolerance for each other and what we've got to do is recognise we may have political differences , but we political differences, but we don't have to use anger, we don't have to use anger, we don't have to use anger, we don't have to use hate because all that is inspire other people as well . if we're kinder each as well. if we're kinder to each other, i believe the public will be kinder . be kinder. >> and now he's bang in trouble. he's throwing his hands up and saying he's martyr to mps saying he's a martyr to mps safety in the wake of a terror threat. don't buy it. sir keir threat. i don't buy it. sir keir starmer denies this. sir lindsay hoyle, he denies this. but i think the british public have a right to wonder whether or not the labour speaker cut a grubby deal with the labour leader to save the labour party. now, as it stands, about 65 mps have said that they have no confidence in hoyle. the british pubuc confidence in hoyle. the british public clearly do not any more either . he's public clearly do not any more either. he's lost public clearly do not any more either . he's lost the room
9:10 pm
public clearly do not any more either. he's lost the room and i think he has to go. but if sir keir starmer , this man of keir starmer, this man of towering integrity and high moral fibre, lent varne lindsay hoyle and exerted massive pressure on him, then frankly , pressure on him, then frankly, he has to go as well. but let's get the thoughts of my panel. we've got telegraph columnist and parliamentary sketch writer madeline grant. i've also got conservative peer lord shaun bailey and former labour party adviser matthew lazer . madeline, adviser matthew lazer. madeline, i'll start with you on this. do you think now that we're in a situation where essentially sir keir starmer has successfully leant on a speaker here? >> oh, well, i mean , certainly >> oh, well, i mean, certainly he the speaker, acceded to what labour was demanding for sure. i think the real question is how much of it was , as you said in much of it was, as you said in your intro, cutting a grubby deal your intro, cutting a grubby deal. um that was purely a face saving exercise . as for gaza , saving exercise. as for gaza, um, and how well or was any of it to do with how much of it was to do with the concerns about mp
9:11 pm
safety, which i don't think we should dismiss? you know, it's been speak to often been mps that i speak to often talk about, you know, just the a constant level of harassment, intimidation , um, having cctv intimidation, um, having cctv around their homes, having their properties disturbed. um, and that's before you even get to the really serious things that have happened in the last few years, you know, mps murdered and so on. so i think obviously this has worked out in a way that helpful for the labour that is helpful for the labour party, ultimately it has party, but ultimately it has blown in their face because blown up in their face because here we are talking about this gaping clearly exists gaping wound that clearly exists within labour party. within the labour party. >> and just heads up >> exactly. and just a heads up a later on in the a little bit later on in the show, on show, i've got andrew percy on who absolutely crystal who makes it absolutely crystal clear that clear about the threat that laboun clear about the threat that labour. sorry that all mps labour. um, sorry that all mps are facing at the moment from , are facing at the moment from, um, mostly mob . um, mostly an islamist mob. robert jenrick on a little robert jenrick is on a little bit on. i'm not trying to bit later on. i'm not trying to diminish the here. i'm bit later on. i'm not trying to dimisaying,a here. i'm bit later on. i'm not trying to dimisaying, sean, here. i'm bit later on. i'm not trying to dimisaying, sean, i here. i'm bit later on. i'm not trying to dimisaying, sean, i think i'm bit later on. i'm not trying to dimisaying, sean, i think it's just saying, sean, i think it's rather convenient. and what they wanted the headlines be today wanted the headlines to be today was absolutely the was absolutely not about the fact that 100 labour mps fact that about 100 labour mps were rebel . shadow were going to rebel. shadow cabinet would
9:12 pm
cabinet ministers would have gone labour party would gone that labour party would have gaping hole in it. have had this gaping hole in it. well, sorry, but we are well, i'm sorry, but we are going and that going to talk about it. and that is reality, isn't is the reality, isn't it? >> a number of to >> there's a number of things to say. awful shame that say. it's an awful shame that this happened. and i say for this has happened. and i say for lindsay hoyle, because he was this has happened. and i say for lindsrespected because he was this has happened. and i say for lindsrespected becethe he was this has happened. and i say for lindsrespected becethe he \that well respected and the fact that he visit keir he had a visit from keir starmer, it doesn't matter what keir people will starmer, it doesn't matter what keir their people will starmer, it doesn't matter what keir their own people will starmer, it doesn't matter what keir their own mind)ple will starmer, it doesn't matter what keir their own mind up; will starmer, it doesn't matter what keir their own mind up andl make their own mind up and i think they'll think that think they'll they'll think that keir starmer on him, because what point visit what was the point of the visit otherwise. people will make otherwise. but people will make their but the real their minds up. but the real shame is lindsay hall is shame here is lindsay hall is now a great amount now under a great amount of pressure. somebody pressure. but he was somebody everybody pressure. but he was somebody everpoint . he was a great this point. he was a great speaker and think keir starmer speaker and i think keir starmer may him the may have thrown him to the wolves no doubt wolves, because there's no doubt this worked out for the this has worked out for the labour party, which again makes a the a whole thing look sus. and the other want to as other thing i want to say as well, imagine boot was on well, imagine the boot was on the other foot. could you imagine in the behaviour we'd be getting keir starmer and getting out of keir starmer and labour mps when boris labour mps now, when boris prorogued parliament, you would have the had fallen have thought the sun had fallen in. yet it's fine, which is illegal. >> yeah, well, well this for mps i >> -- >> this is feeling that way. you've got to understand this is

anything to happen again. so yes , i will apologise . i always , i will apologise. i always will when i make a mistake. >> yes, not just labour mps, all mps anyway. whether hoyle behaved like he did because he wanted to save sir keir starmer's bacon or because he genuinely feared for mps safety , genuinely feared for mps safety, either reality leaves our democracy in tatters. so tonight i am asking sir lindsay hoyle caves to extremists over the gaza ceasefire debate. is democracy dead ? doing battle on democracy dead? doing battle on this now is political commentator former mep patrick o'flynn and former labour spokesman james matthews. and shapps. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. patrick. is democracy dead? >> i would certainly it's >> i would certainly say it's been high been moved to the high dependency ward of of the dependency ward of the of the democrat hospital. it's not in good shape whatsoever. i think , good shape whatsoever. i think, oddly enough, lindsay hoyle has broken dennis healey's rule of politics, which is when you're in a hole, stop digging because , in a hole, stop digging because, as you suggested, he's come out with a new pretext. now for why he made this ruling. with a new pretext. now for why he made this ruling . the he made this ruling. the security and the police
9:26 pm
warnings. and that will make people think, hang on a minute. margaret thatcher was almost murdered by the ira. the very next morning, she stood up at the conservative party conference and said, business as usual, you know, in britain we don't , uh, kowtow to threats don't, uh, kowtow to threats because that incentivises further threats. and under lindsay hoyle's own explanation, that's what he's done. and i think also the leader of the labour party who aspires to be the next prime minister, almost certainly will be the next prime minister by the end of this yeah minister by the end of this year. i think, you know, he hasn't seen the wood for the trees here. he thinks , you know, trees here. he thinks, you know, uh, you know, lean on the speaken uh, you know, lean on the speaker. so i don't have headunes speaker. so i don't have headlines about the labour party split, but a bigger thing for the british public is does this man has have what it takes to lead our democracy? and he again , under his his own account of the labour party, it's kowtowing to terrorists, radicals and extremists. and that's not what democracy is meant to be about.
9:27 pm
james come back to that . james come back to that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> terrorists and radicals. >> terrorists and radicals. >> i mean, i wanted keir starmer to back position of a ceasefire. >> keir starmer has backed the position of a ceasefire. so maybe a terrorist or a radical course. it doesn't. it's absolute nonsense to call people who want to see a ceasefire, which now is a huge amount of people in parliament and out of parliament who want to see a ceasefire, want that position to be adopted with actual, you know , understandable policy positions and a route to peace where we don't see children on either side. james just out of interest, if you know james. >> sorry, just i've got to put this back to you then if you're applying that logic, then why was it so vital that the labour amendment was mentioned yesterday? have just yesterday? you could have just voted with the snp. >> think i believe that >> yeah, i think i believe that the labour party, you know, will always contest and have the right bigger opposition always contest and have the right and bigger opposition always contest and have the right and iyouar opposition always contest and have the right and iyou know osition always contest and have the right and iyou know ,sition always contest and have the right and iyou know , pointed party and as you know, pointed out right there previously that the labour party is going to be probably likely in probably in most likely form in the government. it's the
9:28 pm
probably in most likely form in the who,iovernment. it's the probably in most likely form in the who, you nment. it's the probably in most likely form in the who, you knowt. it's the probably in most likely form in the who, you know , it's the probably in most likely form in the who, you know , a 's the probably in most likely form in the who, you know , a minority snp who, you know, a minority party who are deciding to play politics with this and let's be honest, let's be honest how this panned out yesterday, it wasn't scuppered in scuppered by lindsay hoyle in its . it could have gone its entirety. it could have gone ahead. we could have seen democracy action and we'd be democracy in action and we'd be having the opposite conversation what now. but the what we're having now. but the snp decided to be children about it and decide that if their name wasn't the successful name on the on the ceasefire, uh, amendment that went through, that, they wouldn't be playing ball. >> okay. patrick >> okay. patrick >> well, look, i think this phrase that labour's trotting out with playing politics, it's actually doing politics like all parties quotes play politics when they test the robustness and scrutinise the other political parties. and both the snp on one flank, they're very much pro—palestine flank and the conservative government on the other, suspected that , you know, other, suspected that, you know, labour under scrutiny , would labour under scrutiny, would fall apart here. so the official account , this is the key thing. account, this is the key thing. the official account of why the
9:29 pm
procedures of the commons were changed is because labour mps were apparently were were getting threats. now that's the message that our democracy doesn't stand up to terrorism. i see keir starmer as greatly culpable in this. he's denied that he personally uttered any, any kind of big threat or leaning on the speaker. he didn't say that. none of his mps didn't say that. none of his mps did that. i think , you know, did that. i think, you know, lindsay hoyle almost certainly should resign. but i think the bigger issue here is , is keir bigger issue here is, is keir starmer fit to be prime minister of, you know, one of the great democracies of the world. and i think he's proved himself unfit. >> so james, look, we're about to in a few time to hear in a few minutes time from an mp who says that fellow mps are now not voting the way that they want to vote on things because they are afraid of the mob. that is not democracy, is it ? n0 mob. that is not democracy, is it ? no no, but mob. that is not democracy, is it? no no, but i mob. that is not democracy, is it ? no no, but i don't believe it? no no, but i don't believe it's true. >> i just don't believe it's true. i think it's true. labour mps who i've spoken to, i
9:30 pm
haven't spoken to a single mp who i know, several of whom have spoken today, who've spoken to today, who've said that they intimidated to. that they felt intimidated to. that would change their opinion on stuff. aren't, know on stuff. these aren't, you know , do we think these , i mean, who do we think these people these are people who people are? these are people who face threats a regular basis, face threats on a regular basis, such the nature of our toxic such as the nature of our toxic debate around many things in politics face threats on politics who face threats on a regular basis for their opinions, then regardless of opinions, and then regardless of vote on them anyway, they're in parliament because have parliament because they have political opinions and a political opinions and a political conscience , and they political conscience, and they stick with that normally regard less think that less of this to think that people being pushed people are being pushed around back happened back and forth. what's happened is we've had very successful protests, very successful outrage from across the country and across the world as well to what's happening to palestinian people in gaza. >> would you describe mike freers office being allegedly firebombed as a successful protest , or what went on protest, or what went on outside? tobias ellwood that's nothing to do with the house or some death threats that have been nothing to been given, because nothing to do it, nothing to do with do with it, nothing to do with the legitimate protest. >> there. the disgusting threats
9:31 pm
that our elected officials face every single day, regardless of what the. >> so it is true that they are struggling to deal with the fact that they are. course, that they are. of course, they're what saying , they're voting. what i'm saying, i that elected i don't believe that elected officials then say , oh, i must officials then say, oh, i must vote this way because of that, because i know so many who do. >> just the opposite actually hardens their resolve and actually these disgusting threats, you know , of violence threats, you know, of violence against our mps. you know, two of whom we have their lives of whom we have lost their lives to kind of threats, you to those kind of threats, you know, real threat to know, is the real threat to democracy, not peaceful protest that in a wider that result in a wider discussion in the media that then ultimately results in people saying , you know what it people saying, you know what it is actually, we've seen enough children murdered don't children murdered and we don't want anymore. so we want to see that anymore. so we want to see that anymore. so we want ceasefire. want to see that anymore. so we warokay,iasefire. want to see that anymore. so we warokay, patrick, final word. >> okay, patrick, final word. >> okay, patrick, final word. >> i the british >> yeah. i think the british people are watching this and they're remembering there's a school batley who's school teacher from batley who's had in hiding for three had to be in hiding for three years. there was autistic boy years. there was an autistic boy in near wakefield whose in a school near wakefield whose mother had to go and mother basically had to go and beg facts were to be beg for no facts were to be imposed on him . and the idea imposed on him. and the idea
9:32 pm
that the political class, who should be leading the defence of our democracy , is somehow going our democracy, is somehow going to be feather bedded and protected in ways that normal people are, are not normal . people are, are not normal. people have to face the society that our political class has presided over and created . and i presided over and created. and i think that is a very, very troubling message for our democracy . and i think lindsay democracy. and i think lindsay hoyle and keir starmer have come out of this week not looking you know, equal to the tasks that they aspire to fill. all right. >> look, both of you, i think for your case valiantly there. so thank you very very much. as former mep patrick o'flynn and former labour spokesman james matthews , so do you agree matthews said, so do you agree with the lindsay hoyle caves with the sir lindsay hoyle caves to over the gaza to extremists over the gaza ceasefire debate? is democracy dead? nana x says democracy dead? nana on x says democracy has been dead for a long time now. it's time we accept it. a bit defeatist that nona, i think good run on x says democracy isn't dead yet. we just need real politicians with a moral compass courage who really compass and courage who really know what democracy means and who committed to serving the
9:33 pm
who are committed to serving the people this once great people of this once great nation. says. we don't nation. jan says. we don't really democracy. really have democracy. if we did, the boats would be stopped. we'd the echr and we'd be out of the echr and brexit would be complete. look, your 90% you your verdict is in 90% of you agree that democracy is now dead after sir lindsay hoyle caved to extremists over gaza, 10% of you disagree and say that it isn't. look, up as a tory mp look, coming up as a tory mp finds migration is making the housing crisis worse with 67% of privately rented households in london headed by someone born abroad should british homes be prioritised for british people? but no nonsense former minister ann widdecombe has her say on that, and of course she weighs in on the lindsay hoyle issue. but up next, extraordinary interview. this a backbench mp today slammed political extremism that has wormed its way into westminster . way into westminster. >> for months i've been standing up here talking about the people on our streets demanding death to jews, demanding jihad , to jews, demanding jihad, demanding intifadas. >> i caught up with andrew percy earlier on. he has an astonishingly stark warning for
9:34 pm
the future of democracy in britain and actually reveals some home truths that maybe would have been quite enlightening during that last discussion as well, about the impact fact that mob is impact fact that the mob is having our politicians. he's having on our politicians. he's up patrick up next. this is patrick christys tonight. only on
9:35 pm
9:36 pm
9:37 pm
monday to thursday from 6:00 till 930. >> well, coming up, no nonsense former minister ann widdecombe on the impact that migration is having on britain's housing crisis. but first, the commons
9:38 pm
was left reeling today as jewish mp andrew percy gave a moving speech reminding us of the fear that british jews are currently living under a months. >> i've been standing up here talking about the people on our streets demanding death to jews , streets demanding death to jews, demanding jihad, demanding intifada orders as the police stand by and allow that to happen. last night, a genocidal call for from the river to the sea, palestine will be free was projected onto this building. that that message says no jew is welcome in the state of israel or in that land . or in that land. >> and here is the projection that percy mentioned. if you're watching us on tv or online lighting up the home of british democracy with the infamous phrase from the river to the sea, let remind you that since hamas's invasion of israel back in october, anti—semitic abuse has risen a shocking 589. earlier today , i caught up with earlier today, i caught up with andrew percy himself to find out what parliament can do to stand up to extreme ism. the
9:39 pm
parliament is caved in to islamist extremism , i think to islamist extremism, i think to a certain extent, yes , and also to certain extent, yes, and also to hard left . hard left extremism. >> so there are members of the house of commons at the moment who have said me they're not who have said to me they're not prepared to vote as would prepared to vote as they would like issue . and like to on this issue. and because they fear the retribution, they feel the retaliation and they fear the threats that coming in threats that are coming in to them. can't have them. and we can't have a situation where democracy, situation where in a democracy, democratically elected , you democratically elected, you know, representatives are not able to vote they wish for able to vote as they wish for fear of violence. i mean, it's completely unacceptable . so, completely unacceptable. so, yes, we caved. you made an yes, we have caved. you made an incredibly strong point in the house of commons earlier today. >> whether or >> i just wonder whether or not it's to that the jewish it's fair to say that the jewish community of the community is kind of like the canary coal a little canary in the coal mine a little bit, actually, at the moment canary in the coal mine a little bit, canaries at the moment canary in the coal mine a little bit, canaries gasping|oment canary in the coal mine a little bit, canaries gasping for ent canary in the coal mine a little bit, canaries gasping for air, that canaries gasping for air, trying to warn us about the problems that are facing us. >> true, >> yeah, i mean, that is true, right? mean, know , the right? i mean, you know, the problem we allow this problem is if we allow this behaviour here continue, it's behaviour here to continue, it's not going this not just going to be on this issue, it'll the next issue issue, it'll be the next issue and it'll be another issue. it'll be different who it'll be a different group who will targeted .
9:40 pm
will be targeted. >> do you think sir keir starmer was from was maybe safe from being confronted reality of confronted by the reality of what his own ideology has created last night, what created last night, with what lindsay well i think lindsay hoyle did? well i think it look, it was incredibly it was look, it was incredibly unhelpful it was look, it was incredibly uniwhatl did yesterday. it put >> what he did yesterday. it put conservative particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra ative particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk . particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk . so particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk . so we particular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk . so we were :ular, >> what he did yesterday. it put co extra risk . so we were told at extra risk. so we were told it to protect , um, you know, it was to protect, um, you know, members parliament safety. members of parliament safety. but it appears that the safety of some mps more important of some mps is more important than because it did of some mps is more important tharthrow because it did of some mps is more important tharthrow us ecause it did of some mps is more important tharthrow us on use it did of some mps is more important tharthrow us on the it did of some mps is more important tharthrow us on the government was throw us on the government benches completely the benches completely under the bus. think, sir keir bus. and i think, sir keir starmer reflect that. starmer should reflect on that. but should also reflect on but he should also reflect on the fact what some of his the fact that what some of his mps saying this mps have been saying on this subject, reflect about subject, he should reflect about how mps have been how some of his mps have been attending some of these marches, speaking marches where speaking at these marches where there is open hate and that there is open jew hate and that and members are still and those members are still sitting on his benches . sitting there on his benches. >> mhm. yeah. and for you personally . yeah. how bad is personally. yeah. how bad is this . yeah. what kind of this. yeah. what kind of examples of, of you got of yourself and others who are facing up to this now. >> i mean the problem you have on this issue is lots of us don't like to talk about what what comes our way. because when
9:41 pm
you about of it you talk about it, more of it comes your way. but you know, my stuff i get has because i've been very vocal you been very vocal on this. you know, i get called a zionist. i get i leave the get told i should leave the country, i bags, people country, i pack my bags, people telling i should be dragged telling me i should be dragged into the streets and flogged. uh, know, somebody uh, you know, somebody telling me children, me i don't have any children, but hope but telling me that they hope that things happen to that their bad things happen to my you know, that that their bad things happen to my other you know, that that their bad things happen to my other acts you know, that that their bad things happen to my other acts of you know, that that their bad things happen to my other acts of violence iv, that and other acts of violence should be committed. and that's happening and mps happening to mps. and some mps have worse than, have had it even worse than, than than i have lots of than than than i have lots of particularly female mps get it particularly female mps get it particularly . and you particularly badly. and you know, it's but it's grim stuff and, you know, it's and that is as i say, it's affecting how people perform their duties as members of parliament and democracy cannot sustain this. you know , if we'd had a vote you know, if we'd had a vote yesterday , it wouldn't actually yesterday, it wouldn't actually have been reflective of the will of the house of commons because people would have stayed away from some from the vote or in some cases voted against own personal voted against their own personal views consciences. just to voted against their own personal vievthese consciences. just to voted against their own personal vievthese peopleznces. just to voted against their own personal vievthese people offes. just to voted against their own personal vievthese people off their;t to get these people off their backs. that's insane. it's completely and utterly mad. but we've known about it and it's
9:42 pm
been happening for a while now, and only going to and it's only going to get worse. and seeing it worse. and we're seeing it across, know, western across, you know, western democracies . this is democracies. this is inconsistent with democracy. the behaviour we're seeing it. but these people are given succour, right. because when they're allowed week after week to take right. because when they're al|therd week after week to take right. because when they're al|the streets after week to take right. because when they're al|the streets of ter week to take right. because when they're al|the streets of london, to take right. because when they're al|the streets of london, and ake to the streets of london, and despite the fact that week after week , members the jewish week, members of the jewish community point out community and others point out the are being they the signs that are being they point intifada is point out that intifada is continued to be allowed. you know, forjihad , continued to be allowed. you know, for jihad , or know, the calls for jihad, or they call for people to open support houthis. is support for the houthis. this is this, emboldens these this, you know, emboldens these people then to take social people to then to take social media, to their , uh, email media, to their, uh, email accounts, to, to send us all sorts of abuse because they see it's acceptable. all so it's not being stopped. it's being stopped. of course, it's only worse. i was only going to get worse. i was going to say, oh, do you think this be a watershed moment? >> but how many watershed moments know, moments can we have? you know, i mean, amess is the obvious mean, david amess is the obvious example. recently example. mike freer recently again. both of again. and, you know, both of those up being those things ended up being contorted about online contorted to be about online hate. and as opposed to real hate. and as opposed to the real issue. yeah >> well, this the problem >> well, this is the problem that know, we've had lots of that you know, we've had lots of warnings about this. we've
9:43 pm
warnings about about this. we've seen other issues where seen this on other issues where we've, know, had , you know, we've, you know, had, you know, you've had headteachers who've had to hiding. you've had to go into hiding. you've had to go into hiding. you've had you know, schools targeted, um , you know, and as i say, it's um, you know, and as i say, it's this strange of, of this strange mix of, of, of individuals and ideologies, um , individuals and ideologies, um, and you know, we know it's happening and everybody calls it out. and this is my frustration in commons we all in the commons today. we can all keep it's not acceptable. keep saying it's not acceptable. we all keep saying, oh, we can all keep saying, oh, isn't we mustn't isn't it awful? and we mustn't allow to happen. but the allow this to happen. but at the end mps have to go end of the day, mps have to go home they're in london and home or they're in london and they their families at they leave their families at home and have to go to home and they have to go to their houses where they are unprotected know, don't unprotected. you know, we don't have police on our have police officers on our front doors. and you have to think getting think as you're getting into your night , think as you're getting into your night, it's easy to your bed at night, it's easy to figure out where an lives. your bed at night, it's easy to figu know where an lives. your bed at night, it's easy to figu know what's an lives. your bed at night, it's easy to figu know what's going lives. your bed at night, it's easy to figu know what's going to ves. your bed at night, it's easy to figu know what's going to happen you know what's going to happen to me. >> lindsay hoyle has been >> sir lindsay hoyle has been very vocal as he was last very vocal today, as he was last night well, saying, look, he night as well, saying, look, he felt had the best felt as though he had the best intentions for mps and that he feared threats . okay. so feared threats. okay. so realistically , what was he
9:44 pm
realistically, what was he supposed to have done? you know, if he's been told he'll have blood on his hands here, what should he have done? do you think so? >> i think look, i like lindsay. lindsay's been personally very good me over the years, and good to me over the years, and i genuinely cares about genuinely believe he cares about the know believes and the well, i know he believes and cares about the welfare of members of parliament. and he doubtless. mean , you know, doubtless. i mean, you know, does care about the threats that labour mps have faced, just as all of us have faced , um, what all of us have faced, um, what was was this these was unacceptable was this these reports of pressure being put on him, and it's helped to get keir starmer out of a particular bind with own but as i've with his own party. but as i've said , i'm sure even we take said, i'm sure even if we take those threats of whether, you know, have a job or not in know, he'd have a job or not in the future out of it, even if the future out of it, even if the intention protect the intention was to protect members sadly the members of parliament. sadly the decision through other members of parliament completely under the we currently have the bus, we currently have members of parliament voting against their own free will because they are scared from a radical mob. >> yeah, we potentially have the leader of the opposition exerting pressure onto the
9:45 pm
speaker of the house of commons in order to try to mask certain divisions within his own party and this problem you think is going to get worse before it gets better ? yes. gets better? yes. >> i don't see how it doesn't, because, you know, and that's exactly what's happening . you exactly what's happening. you have parliament who have members of parliament who wouldn't up to wouldn't have turned up to the vote yesterday purely because they scared of what would they were scared of what would happenif they were scared of what would happen if they voted against particular motion and amendments that were down. i mean , that were down. i mean, democracy can't survive that . we democracy can't survive that. we cannot survive that. and you know, we're all condemning it. and everybody's saying it's wrong, actually to wrong, but actually we have to do something prevent more do something to prevent it. more than words . than words. >> well, you very much. to >> well, thank you very much. to andrew percy mp , who was andrew percy mp, who was incredibly brave for speaking out about all of this in such frank terms. it's important to say , obviously, that sir keir say, obviously, that sir keir starmer and lindsay hoyle both deny the idea that there was any kind of deal that took place, or that leaning on that there was any leaning on anybody coming up as prevent anybody but coming up as prevent whistleblowers, sir william shawcross that not enough shawcross says that not enough is being done to tackle islamist
9:46 pm
extremism. it's political correctness helping terrorists slip the net. will slip through the net. i will tackle that at 10 pm. as well as speaking with former immigration minister robert jenrick , who's been incredibly jenrick, who's been incredibly vocal about this today in the house of commons. but next, with new showing that 67% of new research showing that 67% of privately rented homes in london are born are headed by somebody born overseas , is migration overseas, is migration worsening? our housing crisis? and should the speaker of the commons, lindsay hoyle, resign ? commons, lindsay hoyle, resign? obviously we've to ask obviously we've got to ask former minister ann former tory minister ann widdecombe about that. she former tory minister ann widdeherrbe about that. she former tory minister ann widdeher unfiltered)ut that. she former tory minister ann widdeher unfiltered take|at. she former tory minister ann widdeher unfiltered take afterhe gives her unfiltered take after this very , very short break. this very, very short break. don't miss a sukh
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
9:49 pm
welcome back to patrick christys tonight . we're only on gb news tonight. we're only on gb news now. coming up, it's political correctness helping terrorists slip through the net. but first a astonishing analysis by former levelling up minister and tory mp neil o'brien has revealed that migration has exacerbated the uk's housing crisis,
9:50 pm
especially in london, where a whopping 67% of privately rented houses were headed up by someone born overseas. but this is very much not simply a london issue. it's happening everywhere. there's analysis also revealed that the number of migrants arriving in the capital since 2011 far outstripped the 2011 has far outstripped the number of new homes being built. it after government it comes after the government announced plans last month to prioritise british homes for british people . well, i'm joined british people. well, i'm joined now by former conservative minister widdecombe. now by former conservative ministyou widdecombe. now by former conservative ministyou very iddecombe. now by former conservative ministyou very muchimbe. now by former conservative ministyou very much .1be. now by former conservative ministyou very much . well, it is thank you very much. well, it is migration to blame for the housing crisis , do you think? housing crisis, do you think? well look, i mean, it stands to , well look, i mean, it stands to, to reason that if you have a huge surge in the population , huge surge in the population, which is what you get when you get extensive migration, then it's going to put a strain on the infrastructure and not only on housing. >> it's going to put strain on >> it's going to put a strain on education health services , education and health services, transport, to transport, anything you care to mention . uh, because there is mention. uh, because there is more demand than there is supply. so yes , of course supply. so yes, of course migration is contributing to the housing crisis. i mean , i can't
9:51 pm
housing crisis. i mean, i can't see that any reasonable person could claim otherwise . okay. could claim otherwise. okay. >> so look what needs to be done about it because we are not going to build the amount of homes that we need to cope with the growth that homes that we need to cope with the about growth that homes that we need to cope with the about to growth that homes that we need to cope with the about to see. growth that homes that we need to cope with the about to see. and wth that homes that we need to cope with the about to see. and if:h that homes that we need to cope with the about to see. and if itthat homes that we need to cope with the about to see. and if it isat we're about to see. and if it is the case that 67% of homes, certainly around the london area rental sector are now going to people who were born overseas . i people who were born overseas. i mean, do we have to have some kind of law genuinely where landlords have to actually prioritise british tenants? i think that's too far down the line . line. >> uh, you know, what we've got to do is control migration in the first place, not say that when we've got out of control migration, then it will deal. what about it? and what should we do about it? and should we reserve this for home grown whatever grown britain or whatever that that that's dodging issue that that's dodging the issue and the that is really and the issue that is really significant and has been significant and has been significant now for years. it's nothing new is that the government and indeed successive governments have not managed to control migration, be it in
9:52 pm
legal or be it legal. control migration, be it in legal or be it legal . and that legal or be it legal. and that is what is causing problems. so that's what you've got to tackle , not ask yourself what you do when it's already happened. um and presumably as well it is now ramping up rental prices . ramping up rental prices. >> and this is happening everywhere. it's happening in manchester, in birmingham, in liverpool, single major manchester, in birmingham, in liverokay. single major manchester, in birmingham, in liverokay. it's single major manchester, in birmingham, in liverokay. it's not single major manchester, in birmingham, in liverokay. it's not just le major manchester, in birmingham, in liverokay. it's not just a major city. okay. it's not just a london thing. this where because of demand, massively outstripping supply, we are now seeing people having to pay way over the odds and i just feel like that sucks the aspiration out of people, doesn't it? well it certainly can do that. >> yes. and particularly given, you know, that it's very difficult at the moment to afford buy, uh, you know, you afford to buy, uh, you know, you look to rent, uh, certainly to tide you over until you can afford to maybe for even afford to buy, maybe for even longer than that . and, of longer tum than that. and, of course, mean, any student of course, i mean, any student of economics , uh, in the economics will learn, uh, in the first week of their course , uh, first week of their course, uh, that demand and supply by, um, are what determines the market. and if there is too little
9:53 pm
supply and too much demand, of course, prices go up because there's no other way of regulating thing. >> i just wonder how much data people are going to need, whether gps, whether it's whether it's gps, whether it's housing, anything housing, whether it's anything else before they to wake else before they start to wake up. seriously they just up. seriously before they just start wake up to but and start to wake up to it. but and can you a bit about can i ask you a bit about speaker lindsay hoyle? i'm speaker sir lindsay hoyle? i'm very get your views on very keen to get your views on this. i was trying predict this. i was trying to predict earlier i think earlier on how i think you're going question. going to answer this question. i'm 100% sure. do you think i'm not 100% sure. do you think he to go? no i think it he has to go? no i think it would be wrong several levels. >> the first is, uh, you know, we have a very chaotic, you know , anything goes wrong. sunak. and immediately, you know, people are asking sunak people like you are asking sunak have go . uh, that doesn't have to go. uh, that doesn't matter so much. but the fact is that are then saying , you that mps are then saying, you know, does sunak have to go now ? know, does sunak have to go now? something's gone badly wrong for the and and the speaker. and it has. and everybody's saying, oh , well, everybody's saying, oh, well, the that get of the answer to that is get rid of the answer to that is get rid of the of course it isn't. the speaker. of course it isn't. everybody should calm down. i think he made an error of judgement, but it's one that i can understand , and i can

10:06 pm
forgiveness from a load of enraged seven enraged anglicans? no seven seven borough market. the manchester arena bombing fishmongers hall, westminster bridge we had to live with this while our politicians banged on about being kind and inclusive and calling anyone who disagreed with them far right . we have with them far right. we have been at the coalface and the jewish community is the canary in the coal mine, and that canary is currently gasping for air and desperately trying to tell us that things are dangerously of control . this dangerously out of control. this is what former home secretary suella braverman has written in the tonight . this is the telegraph tonight. this is just is longer just landed. this is no longer the country. i knew the great country. i knew islamists are bullying britain into submission this isn't just about colleagues in about my colleagues in parliament. our values and freedoms attack in all freedoms are under attack in all walks of life . or finally, the walks of life. or finally, the penny starting to drop among walks of life. or finally, the pennyparliamentariansip among walks of life. or finally, the pennyparliamentarians asimong walks of life. or finally, the pennyparliamentarians as wellg walks of life. or finally, the pennyparliamentarians as well . other parliamentarians as well. plus an investigation into prevent our terror watchdog has revealed what even stevie wonder can see. we have not dealt with islamist extremism. we are not doing enough to deal with it. now we have focussed too heavily
10:07 pm
on the far right, as bad as that is, and i want to make very is, and i want to make that very clear gets my clear before anybody gets on my back over this far right extremism terrible also extremism is terrible and also needs stamped out. m15 needs to be stamped out. m15 data shows that 75% of its caseload was focussed on islamist threats. yet the latest figures for referrals to the prevent programme show just 11% related to islamist terrorism. how can that be now? yes william shawcross, who conducted the review into prevent, revealed that the fear of being called islamophobic has led up to this. well, yesterday, an anti—semitic slogan was physically beamed onto big ben , while the leader onto big ben, while the leader of the house of commons drove a coach and horses through our democratic system to appease a load of radicals who have been threatening violence death threatening violence and death upon elected officials . wake upon our elected officials. wake up. i would take lindsay hoyle more seriously if he'd have properly called out islamist extremism when his own colleague was slaughtered by a jihadi, i would take more seriously would take him more seriously if he'd islamism . when he'd called out islamism. when one of his colleagues quit over death threats recently. now
10:08 pm
labour for, in my view, through their arms around people with a radical ideology who have now turned against them, a lot of them , and now they're running them, and now they're running scared. well, now you know how it feels. don't you? there is a tactic being used on the doorstep at the moment by radicals as they go around looking to drum up votes in some densely populated muslim areas. and i think this is a shameful tactic. they try to convince ordinary, well—meaning members of the muslim community who really aren't radical at all, to take a more hard line approach by saying, how are you going to answer on the judgement day? well i would like to say to our mps , how are you going to look mps, how are you going to look your grandchildren in the eye and explain to them you and explain to them that you allowed into britain, allowed a problem into britain, you fester, you you allowed it to fester, you allowed take and that allowed it to take over and that you time and time again too you were time and time again too afraid to speak up about it as cowards . a home office cowards. a home office spokesperson has said we have made significant progress to deliver a strengthened prevent,
10:09 pm
which placed tackling terrorist ideologies at its core . the ideologies at its core. the government agrees that extremism is ideology that presents the greatest uk and greatest threat to the uk and has moved swiftly to update, prevent guidance and prevent duty, guidance and training to make that clear. well, very pleased say training to make that clear. weljoinedlery pleased say training to make that clear. weljoined now3leased say training to make that clear. weljoined now byased say training to make that clear. weljoined now by former say i'm joined now by former immigration minister mp immigration minister and tory mp robert out in robert jenrick, who spoke out in parliament today the parliament today about the dangers extremists dangers of letting extremists intimidate why do intimidate mps. robert why do you feel so strongly about this? how bad is it ? how bad is it? >> well good evening patrick. i think it's very bad. and this is an urgent situation that finally needs to be grasped by the government and by all of us in parliament. but as you set out brilliantly in your introductory remarks, what we saw in parliament this week was a disgrace. it was a dark day for democracy , because you had the democracy, because you had the speaker of the of commons speaker of the house of commons encouraged , uh, cajoled by the encouraged, uh, cajoled by the leader of the opposition , leader of the opposition, changing the procedures in our own parliament. the mother of parliaments, because of threats and extremism . and you had and extremism. and you had precious few members of
10:10 pm
parliament having the guts to stand up and say that the root cause of this is islamist extremism . and it's not about extremism. and it's not about being nice to each other. it's not about the quality of discourse on social media, though . those things are though. those things are important as well. it is about fighting extremism everywhere we find it with all that we've got, how do we do that, robert? >> now, how do we do that? do you think ? you think? >> well, there are some things we could do straight away and would have the most immediate effect . one would be to throw effect. one would be to throw out of the country all of those people who are here on visas , people who are here on visas, who are extremists. i started doing that as immigration minister, and i want to see that done much more because a visa is a privilege . it's not a right. a privilege. it's not a right. and if you are engaging in extremist activities or anti—semitism , um, you've got no anti—semitism, um, you've got no right to be here. secondly, we should be taking prevent much more seriously and implementing the reforms in full as quickly as possible . that suella
10:11 pm
as possible. that suella braverman set out as home secretary to do exactly as you've just said, ensure that those people who are being tracked by our security services and 75% of them today are islamist extremists. a similar percentage of people on the prevent programme are also islamist extremists. at the moment , as islamist extremists. at the moment, as william islamist extremists. at the moment , as william shawcross islamist extremists. at the moment, as william shawcross has set out , it is completely out of set out, it is completely out of sync with reality , probably sync with reality, probably because many of those behind the programme are fearful of being wrongly labelled as , uh, as wrongly labelled as, uh, as islamophobes. wrongly labelled as, uh, as islamophobes . and thirdly, we've islamophobes. and thirdly, we've got to slow down the pace of legal migration because that is a major issue facing our country andifs a major issue facing our country and it's leading to the country changing fast, too fast and too difficult to properly integrate people into our country. the other thing, of course, which goes without saying, is the police should be enforcing a zero tolerance approach wherever they see these problems. and we know that isn't happening. as
10:12 pm
you just said on our own parliament tonight, this week and anti—semitic trope from the river to the sea was being projected. that is a criminal offence. it could be tackled. i want the police to stand up and say that they have arrested those individuals and this cannot stand. >> okay . robert, can i thank you >> okay. robert, can i thank you very much your time this very much for your time this evening. former immigration minister robert minister and tory mp robert jenrick , who spoke out in jenrick, who spoke out in parliament today . and a lot of parliament today. and a lot of people are very grateful that he did. thank you very much. look, let's the thoughts from my let's get the thoughts from my panel let's get the thoughts from my panel. i've telegraph panel. now i've got telegraph columnist parliamentary columnist and parliamentary sketchwriter columnist and parliamentary sketchw conservative lord i've got conservative peer lord bailey and former labour party adviser laser. uh adviser matthew laser. uh madeline, what robert jenrick was saying there, why? i was saying as well, is that we need to just call this out for what it is now. and at what point do you think we're going to draw line? >> well, i think calling it out is one thing, but i'm interested in what the authorities are actually to do in concrete actually going to do in concrete terms to keep of the
10:13 pm
terms to keep members of the pubuc terms to keep members of the public safe, to make sure that parliamentarians can go about their business, to make sure that, for example , the concerns that, for example, the concerns raised william shawcross , raised by william shawcross, that all of are then acted that all of these are then acted on taken on board the on and taken on board in the review of the prevent scheme. i mean, pretty devastating , mean, it's pretty devastating, isn't that, you know, within isn't it, that, you know, within hours shawcross isn't it, that, you know, within hours these shawcross isn't it, that, you know, within hours these reservationsis making these reservations public, you know , we've had yet public, you know, we've had yet more evidence of this going on in very , very open way. in very, very open way. broadcast genocidal calls on on to the houses of parliament. i mean, we really couldn't for a long time. it's been becoming clear that there isn't , firstly, clear that there isn't, firstly, an asymmetry in the way that the policing happens . um, the met policing happens. um, the met police have been ignoring some truly flagrant anti—semitism that clearly breaks the law. they've just been ignoring that . they've just been ignoring that. um, meanwhile, you know, there was that woman who was arrested for private prayer near an abortion clinic. i mean, it's very obvious what's going on here. i think calling it out is very obvious what's going on herething,1k calling it out is very obvious what's going on herething, butalling it out is very obvious what's going on herething, but iling it out is very obvious what's going on herething, but i wantt out is very obvious what's going on herething, but i want tout is very obvious what's going on herething, but i want to hear one thing, but i want to hear about some concrete action. >> to you next, matthew, >> i'll go to you next, matthew, on and the prevent review ,
10:14 pm
on this and the prevent review, as it were, showed that we are to afraid of being called islamophobia phobic to actually act on this. i mean, would you buy that, do you think or not? >> well, look, i mean, i think it's important that we remember that the threat does come from various quarters. i think you were acknowledge that, were right to acknowledge that, patrick, , uh, were right to acknowledge that, patrick, , uh, far were right to acknowledge that, patri(attacks , uh, far were right to acknowledge that, patri(attacks on , uh, far were right to acknowledge that, patri(attacks on , th,ar were right to acknowledge that, patri(attacks on , th, my right attacks on mps. uh, my friend jo cox was murdered by a, um, a far right extremist. uh, we have seen other instances, including with rosie cooper, who was sort of forced out of parliament because a guy was sent neo—nazi, for sent to jail, a neo—nazi, for conspiracy to murder, i think was the charge. so, look, it comes from it comes from all areas. but should we take it? we should take all of the threats seriously, all of the seriously, and all of the threats followed up, threats should be followed up, no they come from. no matter where they come from. so be any kind no matter where they come from. so bar be any kind no matter where they come from. so bar of be any kind no matter where they come from. so bar of political be any kind no matter where they come from. so bar of political correctness,i of bar of political correctness, as it were , to examining those as it were, to examining those threats. but i mean, you know, i think we can't emphasise enough how this is a very small minority of the muslim community. and, you know, i've i've said before, i think i'm
10:15 pm
very clear that we need to stop doing community politics in terms talking community terms of talking to community leaders, people, as you say, sort they they sort of saying that they they determine a blocks of voting. and we need to engage more individually across muslim individually across the muslim community who, frankly, whose interests and political aims are the everybody else's . the same as everybody else's. it's it's it's the health service, it's the it's housing. the economy. it's housing. >> okay, now, look, sean, for me, i saw the goings on me, when i saw the goings on there yesterday, i thought, yeah, obviously mps are under threat. terrible thing. it's a terrible thing. absolutely it is. but are they aware of how threatened and unsafe ordinary members of the public have been feeling for quite a while, when we being told go and we were being told to go and look over shoulders look over our shoulders at christmas, mark, you know, look over our shoulders at christmgoingark, you know, look over our shoulders at christm going ark, concerts know, look over our shoulders at christmgoingark,concerts in)w, people going to concerts in manchester, example. just manchester, for example. i just thought, know, you thought, you know, you can change that they change a vote a way that they would in parliament you would vote in parliament and you can and yourself safe can try and keep yourself safe and, and of that. what and, and do all of that. what about us? >> look, i'd argue that most mps do because they have they have their they their constituents that they speak will tell speak to regularly who will tell them of their fears. but want speak to regularly who will tell th
10:16 pm
back. how we got here was cancel culture. how many mps have not spoken out on things they believe many mps have changed the way they vote . i've spoken the way they vote. i've spoken to so many mps who will say things like, well, you can't say that publicly that's because that publicly and that's because of cancel culture for if you even mention an a doubt about trans, you are written off. if you say anything about race, even as a black person, you're accused of being racist. so mps have been herded in this direction over years. when you add on top of that, the vile attacks, the pilings that are organised online and i use the words organised online focusing on people who are primarily in politics, but also people in in pubuc politics, but also people in in public life. j.k. rowling for instance, would would, would be a great example . and then you a great example. and then you see we get here. and the see how we get here. and the worst thing is prominent news outlets have legitimised these people by taking their content by telling them that they're a victim and supporting them. so what's happened? mps have now got to a point where they just think, you know what? it isn't
10:17 pm
worth . mike would a worth it. mike freer would be a great example of that. and if we don't nip it in the bud now, it will get worse because we are legitimising people legitimising these people who are derail our are deliberately derail our democracy. well, maria cooksey , democracy. well, maria cooksey, you you i mean, you've got i mean, does it does it do you think there's any truth to the idea that maybe our politicians are now waking up to how a lot of us have actually felt for quite and the perceived quite a while, and the perceived threat there? threat that there is there? >> think that mps are often at >> i think that mps are often at the forefront of safety concerns because in addition to, you know, being prominent public figures , just, you know, if you figures, just, you know, if you talk to mps, the sheer amount of abuse that they receive, which is has only grown exponentially since the advent of social media, which i think is not only given people greater access to the mps, it's also created a culture in which people think that kind of subhuman that mps are kind of subhuman and not deserving of a private life. >> um, so i think they do. they do understand. makes do understand. but sean makes the so, well about cancel the point so, well about cancel culture people fearing to be culture and people fearing to be cowed. i think , honestly, the
10:18 pm
cowed. i think, honestly, the media has lot do with this media has a lot to do with this as well. um, and social media has to do with this has a lot to do with this because it makes it so easy to identify people for, for, for kind pylons stuff kind of pylons and stuff and people, perhaps part of people, i think perhaps part of the problem is that politicians are a bit too are a bit, maybe a bit too plugged things like plugged into things like twitter, worry about, twitter, where they worry about, you getting into trouble you know, getting into trouble for something said. for something they've said. >> i'm just going to >> yeah, well, i'm just going to give matthew the say on give matthew the final say on this because, you know, we've seen david amess yeah. and seen john, david amess yeah. and that was it became a debate about social media. mike freer , about social media. mike freer, i lindsay hoyle came out i mean, lindsay hoyle came out and said, oh, look, we've just got to be kinder to each other in the way that we talk and things. for not things. forgive me for not thinking our politicians thinking that our politicians have of islamist extremism threat of islamist extremism seriously. i think it's just to say that we all need to be nice to each other. >> was was reducing the issue from from what it is. i think we need to call call it out. the threats that they are, the threats that they are, the threats basically threats are basically from radical people on radical islam and from people on the right. both the radical far right. both threats be taken threats need to be taken seriously prevent program seriously to prevent program needs be made to work better,

10:21 pm
10:22 pm
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. i've got tomorrow's news. news. i've got tomorrow's newspaper front pages coming very soon and a moon landing as well . well. >> yes, that's true, but the fallout from yesterday's chaotic events in parliament rumbles on amid accusations that sir keir starmer pressured speaker sir lindsay hoyle into selecting laboun gaza lindsay hoyle into selecting labour. gaza ceasefire amendment so that he could avoid an absolutely massive rebellion . absolutely massive rebellion. here's what the labour leader had to say earlier today. tail between his legs . between his legs. >> i can categorically tell you that i did not threaten the speaker in any way whatsoever . i speaker in any way whatsoever. i simply urged him to ensure that we have the broadest possible
10:25 pm
debate and your mps, the broadest possible debate. um, so that actually the most important thing, which is what do we do about the awful situation in gaza , could be properly gaza, could be properly discussed by mps. >> i'm joined now by former labour minister for the middle east, bill rammell. labour minister for the middle east, bill rammell . bill, thank east, bill rammell. bill, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. great to be with you from the biggest you hours away from the biggest rebellion of keir starmer's leadership, he decided to intervene personally and go and meet with sir lindsay. then, lo and behold , we have a break of and behold, we have a break of convention, a massive break of convention. and here we are right now . has keir starmer right now. has keir starmer supposed man of integrity, thrown lindsay hoyle under the bus ? bus? >> emphatically not. >> emphatically not. >> um, leaders of parties, frontbenchers , senior frontbenchers, senior parliamentarians meet with the speaker every single week that parliament is sitting to make representations about particular issues or the conduct of
10:26 pm
business within the house of commons. it happens all the time . and what legitimately, keir starmer was making represents motions about was that he wanted labour mps to be given the opportunity to vote for the labour amendment and not be forced to choose between an snp amendment and a conserved party amendment, and i think most reasonable people watching this programme would say, well, of course mps should be given the opportunity to vote for their party's position. that's what it was about. additionally it was the snp's day, though bill is the snp's day, though bill is the snp's day, though bill is the snp's day. >> why are labour so special ? >> why are labour so special? >> why are labour so special? >> it's not that we're so special . this is a fundamentally special. this is a fundamentally important issue. i think, uh , as important issue. i think, uh, as lindsay hoyle said in his first statement, the standing orders standing order 31 is outdated , standing order 31 is outdated, is anachronistic in forcing a divide between one opposition party and the government . but divide between one opposition party and the government. but in such an important issue .
10:27 pm
such an important issue. >> but then he contradicted himself because he said, actually, i did it because i was made aware of threats . i mean, made aware of threats. i mean, do you not think that there's a chance that keir starmer played the you'll blood the old you'll have blood on your card here, massive your hands card here, massive pressure no, think, pressure that no, i don't think, uh, keir starmer did that. >> i do that, uh, keir starmer did that. >> i do that , uh, the >> i do think that, uh, the speaker does have a concern about of mps. about the safety of mps. i personally wouldn't have made that. the principal reason for making the decision that he had, because i think it's important that, you know, parliament is allowed and mps are allowed to make the decisions that they want. but is it right that labour mps should be able to vote for a labour amendment? i think most reasonable, reasonable people , uh, would say reasonable people, uh, would say that that is right and proper. and also , you know, i've been and also, you know, i've been watching your program, patrick, and the allegation is , uh, and and the allegation is, uh, and there's not a shred of evidence to back this up because the only people in the room were keir starmer and lindsay hoyle, that this is a stitch up because lindsay used to be a labour mp .
10:28 pm
lindsay used to be a labour mp. well, i mean, you know, you would not have the range of senior conservative mps coming out in support of lindsay hoyle if they thought that was to be the case. i think jacob recently , because they know that if they come publicly against him, come out publicly against him, he have on them he might not have a call on them at again. at pmqs again. >> no. well a number of them are ministers who automatically will be called. >> and, you know, you've had jacob rees—mogg, you've had edward leigh, you've had mark francois, you know , the francois, you know, the rottweiler european rottweiler for the european research group, vehemently backing the speaker. they wouldn't be doing that if they believed there was a all of this goes, look, all of this goes away, doesn't it? >> if keir starmer swears on the bible an inquiry and says bible at an inquiry and says exactly said to lindsay exactly what he said to lindsay hoyle, you're not hoyle, no, you know, you're not going to have a public inquiry for the decision of a speaker. >> boris had to stand on a bible and everyone had those memes of the bible into flames. the bible bursting into flames. >> well, why shouldn't keir starmer? away if he starmer? it all goes away if he does i think. does that, i think. >> i think he certainly didn't do the standards and do that for the standards and
10:29 pm
privileges , which do that for the standards and preventually , which do that for the standards and preventually what , which do that for the standards and preventually what got , which do that for the standards and preventually what got him1ich is eventually what got him booted out, uh, of the house of commons, you know, and there's also really partisan, petty politics going on here. the snp, which is driven by an existential loathing of the labour party because they know labour party because they know labouris labour party because they know labour is the only party that can effectively block an independent scotland deliberately crafted the resolution to try to divide the labour party . the outrage from labour party. the outrage from the snp last night was they didn't have an opportunity to vote on their resolution. well the only reason they didn't have that opportunity is because the conservative party at the very last minute, deliberate , last minute, deliberate, withdrew their amendment . had withdrew their amendment. had they not done that, the snp would have been able to vote uh on their motion. and you know what, patrick? the tragedy of this is that i actually think across the three parties, indeed across the three parties, indeed across all the parties in the house of commons, there's actually a clear majority in favour of a humanitarian ceasefire about the snp amendment that labour didn't agree with because it was just
10:30 pm
one dimension. uh it didn't make clear that israel has the right to self—defence . it didn't make to self—defence. it didn't make clear , uh, that, you know, clear, uh, that, you know, there's not an issue of collective punishment , uh, going collective punishment, uh, going on. it didn't make clear, uh, that. on. it didn't make clear, uh, that . 100 labour mp. that. 100 labour mp. >> look, bill, 100 labour mps supported it. we're going to vote for that, potentially. even some members of his shadow cabinet. okay. and the fact is that lindsay hoyle made that because lindsay hoyle made the decision made now , now, the decision made now, now, today, the headlines are not keir starmer has had the biggest rebellion ever in a general election year. and with respect , election year. and with respect, bill, you are asking us all to just believe that that behind closed doors meeting with keir starmer and a labour speaker is to be taken at complete face value, and we all, we all just have to move on, don't we? now know what keir was doing was exactly i've just explained. >> trying to opportunity >> trying to get the opportunity for labour mps to vote for a labour motion on what's happening in gaza and the need
10:31 pm
for a humanitarian ceasefire, and not be forced to choose between the snp and the conservative party. and i think that's absolutely a right and proper thing to do. it's also the case that there aren't any divisions on this issue in the labour party. there were a number of tory mps during the debate yesterday who spoke, spoke favour of an spoke out in favour of an immediate ceasefire. and i think thatis immediate ceasefire. and i think that is one of the reasons, one of reasons why the of the major reasons why the tories their amendment, tories withdrew their amendment, uh, because they didn't want the sight of divisions within the tory party. >> all right. look, bill, thank you. i say it is a pleasure you. i must say it is a pleasure having on. appreciated. having you on. much appreciated. it former labour it is the former labour minister, rammell. there minister, bill rammell. there putting that side of it up. okay so coming up, locals in so look coming up, locals in cumbria have reported a panther on the loose. do we have a big cat roaming in the british countryside? plus as reform uk simon danczuk prepares for next week's rochdale by—election, he was reportedly blocked from speaking at a community hustings tonight. there is video footage of that. find out more after the

10:40 pm
engineering loves the idea that h done engineering loves the idea that it done this. but the other it has done this. but the other part like, you could part of me is like, you could have this money on have spent this money on some hungry people the planet hungry people on the planet down here earth. the here on on planet earth. but the amazing thing about this, this has done by private company has been done by private company nasa is a client. and to get to the moon beforehand was a national experiment. you needed the weight of america to do it. the of russia, whether the weight of russia, whether and of where and it's a real show of where we're that private we're going that private companies are delivering these sort as to clients, sort of things. as to clients, it's strange . it's strange. >> saying, marty, >> people are saying, marty, that is actually that this is actually quite important because we might we might need to go to the moon, get out of here. yeah. to get away from. >> oh, i see there's like plan b, other candidates are available . available. >> candidates are available , >> candidates are available, other planets are available . the other planets are available. the planets are the kind of i mean , planets are the kind of i mean, what is this? does this float your boat? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, i think it's kind some think it's kind of sad in some ways that as , as supposedly ways that as, as supposedly technology improves, but often in day to day life , i feel like in day to day life, i feel like the only thing that really improves visible for us day to day of our day is the quality of our phones. you know, for example, all experience of is
10:41 pm
all the experience of flying is such one compared to such a miserable one compared to how to the glory how it used to be in the glory days. they haven't done a concorde 1990s. it was concorde since the 1990s. it was decided expensive. decided that was too expensive. um obviously no moon landings since 1972. um so we just have to play golf on dry land now. i mean, this is all quite. it's not inspiring. you know, it's nice to see people pushing the boundanes nice to see people pushing the boundaries fact that, as boundaries and the fact that, as sean out, it's happening boundaries and the fact that, as seanprivate out, it's happening boundaries and the fact that, as seanprivate enterprise�*nappening with private enterprise makes it even , more impressive. even more, more impressive. >> can i just i've been >> can i just say i've been enraged moon landing? enraged by this moon landing? right. because i was told initially it's definitely happening at 10:30. can take happening at 10:30. we can take it live on this show. this was, i promise you, not false advertising for viewers and listeners. it listeners. this show. then it moved to past nine. right. listeners. this show. then it moit's to past nine. right. listeners. this show. then it moit's all past nine. right. listeners. this show. then it moit's all great.ist nine. right. listeners. this show. then it moit's all great. okay|e. right. listeners. this show. then it moit's all great. okay wetight. listeners. this show. then it moit's all great. okay we gott. listeners. this show. then it moit's all great. okay we got a so it's all great. okay we got a couple of bites at this cherry. now i'm being told it's 11:30. now i'm being told it's11:30. to honest with you, mead to be honest with you, beth mead doesn't confidence doesn't fill me with confidence that thing's going to get there. >> the headliners will be >> oh, the headliners will be bringing moon. the moon bringing you the moon. the moon landing. i mean, my first reaction, initial instinct reaction, my initial instinct is, couldn't this is, as sean says, couldn't this money but money be better spent here? but there's point. this there's a serious point. this takes the war, takes us back to the cold war, when space race was at its when the space race was at its height. there was reason height. and there was a reason behind it's because , you
10:42 pm
behind that. it's because, you know space. can know who controls space. can trolls dot, dot. and so trolls dot, dot, dot. and so particularly know, thinking particularly, you know, thinking of in russia, of the front pages in russia, i think we need to keep our nose aheadin think we need to keep our nose ahead in satellite technology. one original 90s european one of the original 90s european satellites earth at the satellites came to earth at the end hs satellites came to earth at the end its life. uh, in the last end of its life. uh, in the last 24 hours. and reminds us just 24 hours. and it reminds us just how important they are. i mean, without this technology, we might a might even have to get the a to z where would be? z out. where would our gps be? but you know, there's obviously more military uses as more serious military uses as well. we keep well. so yes, we need to keep our nose ahead in the space race. >> i mean, china did it recently. >> w f“— e to space. yeah. >> you've been to space. yeah. but tell you what, it'd be an but i tell you what, it'd be an absolute disaster for mankind if we weapons and we had weapons in space and a disaster of which we disaster the likes of which we haven't . haven't seen. >> actually, >> interesting, actually, because there was a headline a few days ago, wasn't there? about space nuke. that's about putin's space nuke. that's right can't but wonder right. i can't help but wonder if all feeding into if this is all feeding into something but, but something now. but, um. but there we go. enough about there we go. that's enough about there we go. that's enough about the humanity. i is the end of humanity. i citri is a lovely we're a nice, lovely story. we're going. to the moon. going. we're going to the moon. and where are flipping and where are the flipping pictures? nasa? right . pictures? nasa? all right. anyway, uh, pictures? nasa? all right. anyway, uh, who came anyway, coming up, uh, who came out battle of out on top of the battle of labour versus the snp yesterday? was starmer or stephen
