released. it is absolutely damning. he should never , ever damning. he should never, ever have been a police officer. multiple failings spanning multiple years and multiple forces. so let me ask you now, do you trust that things will actually be different going forward? also rishi sunak says mob rule is replacing democracy. prime minister, you don't say , prime minister, you don't say, where have you been? all sorts of nights removing non—dom status is a speciality of the labour party. but hang on a second, because today there's a rumour that the tories are going

to be scrapping that in the budget next month. so i'm asking you, that the right decision you, is that the right decision or not? and would scrapping or not? and what would scrapping mean the labour party and mean to the labour party and i got to confess everybody, i hear some absolutely ridiculous things in this job. but today takes the biscuit because a school has now apparently changed its uniform policy to allow students to wear fake eyelashes to school. this is because some of were taking because some of them were taking time go and get their time off to go and get their eyelashes put on, and off and apparently saying not being able to wear them affects their mental health. viewers, i promise you, i've had it. mental health. viewers, i promise you, i've had it . all. promise you, i've had it. all. indeed, that is all to come . but indeed, that is all to come. but before we get stuck in, let's cross live to polly middlehurst for tonight's latest news headunes. headlines. >> michelle, thank you and good evening to you. well, the home secretary has today told mps that police officers will be

automatically suspended if they're charged with certain criminal offences. the comments come after the sarah everard inquiry found wayne couzens should never have been a police officer. he killed the 33 year old in south london in march 2021, and her family says she died because she would never have got into a stranger's car if he hadn't been a police officer . if he hadn't been a police officer. inquiry chair elish angiolini has warned that without a radical overhaul of policing practices and culture, there's still nothing to stop. another cousins operating in plain sight. met police commissioner sir mark rowley says the force is trying to learn from its mistakes. >> what this report does, it paints a deeply disturbing picture of a starting from an astonishingly low base and that's what we're moving on from. and we have made progress. yes. but i'm not going to sit here and spout numbers and give a false impression that we're nearly at the finishing line. this is a massive piece of work to do. i think what lady alice

has done really powerfully is lay out this is what the gold standard looks like. this is what you've got to aim at, and we will collectively work on what will take for policing what it will take for policing to there as quickly as is to get there as quickly as is practically possible. >> mark rowley, now >> sir mark rowley, now supermarket giant sainsbury's, has announced around 1500 jobs will be cut as part of a major plan to reduce costs. the supermarket is trying to save around £1 billion a year over the next three years, the chief executive saying he's making difficult but necessary decisions as the company moves into the next phase of its so—called strategy. meanwhile jobs at the contact centre in widnes in cheshire, and its in—store bakeries will all be affected . hotels is housing affected. hotels is housing asylum seekers are costing the taxpayer £15 million a day, with labour accusing the government of blowing its £1 billion budget. treasury figures suggest the home office spent 4.3 billion more than budgeted on asylum accommodation last year.

there was 146,477 health and care visas . that was up 91. uh care visas. that was up 91. uh 280. almost thousand dependent visas. that was up, uh, 80% as well . el cor visas. that was up, uh, 80% as well. el cor blimey. visas. that was up, uh, 80% as well. el cor blimey . um, and well. el cor blimey. um, and just by the way, i've got to talk about the asylum claims as well, because 62,336 that's was the number, uh, of asylum claims that were granted that was up apparently 242. i mean, this is not looking good for the tories. kelvin is it? >> no. and but it also doesn't look very good for our country, doesn't it, that we have literally millions of people who claim that they're sick or on long terms, sick and yet we can't get people to go into the health and care business. the other the other number there, other the other number in there, which me, was which really astonished me, was that the number of dependents that the number of dependents that came in with people who had been granted. now, why don't we do what they do in the middle

east, for instance, which is actually they take the single person who's going to do the job and they can send their money back, but they don't take in the whole of the and whole of the family. and so, honestly , i wouldn't mind if our honestly, i wouldn't mind if our country was very wealthy and nor would i mind if we didn't have people to do these jobs. but is this going to be a problem simply for rishi sunak, or is this a problem for the uk? i suspect it's a problem for the uk, and the minute that starmer comes in, he will have even bigger problems than we've got already . the idea that it is a already. the idea that it is a political issue is that what we don't have is politicians who are prepared to do something tough about it. now, there may be 1001 reasons why they won't do something tough about it, but the idea that it's either a it's a tory problem or it's a reform problem, or it's a labour problem, or it's a labour problem, it seems to me ridiculous . we don't have people ridiculous. we don't have people , people who want to do the right thing . i'm afraid it's a right thing. i'm afraid it's a shocker, an absolute shocker. i

don't know why. >> and of course the government will say, oh, you know, we've tried. we're making all these changes and that hasn't filtered through these stats through to some of these stats yet. that's what they yet. i'm sure that's what they would say if they were sitting yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but( if they were sitting yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but tom,ey were sitting yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but tom, what re sitting yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but tom, what do sitting yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but tom, what do yomg yet. i'm sure that's what they woul(but tom, what do you make here. but tom, what do you make to it. >> well, corbyn says it's not necessarily a party political point, but the fact is, since brexit, government did get brexit, this government did get control borders so control of our borders in so far as migration. i mean, as legal migration. i mean, those are 91% increase those figures are 91% increase in health and social care visas . in health and social care visas. you're right. for every one of those workers coming in, there's three dependents that's coming in off the back of those visas. although the government from the 11th of march is actually going to clamping down on your to be clamping down on your point workers point there about workers bringing family dependents. but i think for me, the real point here is that the government's failing twice. it's failing to ensure a proper managed migration system where these numbers are coming down, point numbers are coming down, point number one, point number two, it's failing as an employer because the vast majority of these workers visas are in the health and social care sector.

why are we not paying enough to our domestic health and social care workers? why are they going off and working in supermarkets rather than in our hospitals and in our care settings, because the lousy and they the wages are lousy and they know exploit people know they can exploit people coming abroad cheap coming from abroad with cheap wages. coming from abroad with cheap wagand forget, i will >> and don't forget, i will never you never forget. actually, you remember thousands of remember tens of thousands of people that sector . they were people in that sector. they were given the old heave because given the old heave ho because they refused. um to have a vaccine, something that they didn't want. well, where's all those people gone? why have those people gone? why have those people gone? why have those people not been brought back into the fold? i suspect some would have told some of them would have told them where to put some of them would have told theshall where to put some of them would have told theshall we where to put some of them would have told theshall we say. where to put it. shall we say. >> but it's almost impossible now to hire uk worker into now to hire a uk worker into those industries . not least of those industries. not least of all because under this , under all because under this, under this system, and you i don't i don't particularly blame the, the care industry for it. they are allowed to pay 20% less to somebody from overseas to come and work for them, rather than a uk employee . now i know about uk employee. now i know about

within my own wider family. i know an example of somebody who appued know an example of somebody who applied for a job the other day and was told, absolutely, you know , you've got no chance. know, you've got no chance. >> yeah, you're on calvin's all about the skills. uh shortage occupation list where basically you can hire from abroad abroad essentially at a discounted rate . we do seem to not value caring though in this country. so i cannot get my head around why we regard caring as essentially a minimum wage vocation. and i know there'll be people at home screaming at the telly going, uh, minimum wage. michel, give me a break. have you seen the carer's allowance for example, chancellor, be a fine thing to get minimum why don't get minimum wage. but why don't we value carers more? well because we've allowed that to happen over recent decades. >> reason why we've >> and the reason why we've allowed to happen is allowed that to happen is because treasury , we like because the treasury, we like the orthodoxy of the the economic orthodoxy of the treasury, keep on adding treasury, is to keep on adding to labour supply because it to the labour supply because it boosts the overall size of the economic cake. gdp, meanwhile , economic cake. gdp, meanwhile, what we've seen in the last 15

years is stagnating wages, not just of the health and social care sector, actually across many sectors of economy, many sectors of the economy, secular stagnation is what economists call it. but the point is our living standards are being driven down by this obsession the treasury to obsession of the treasury to keep on adding to labour supply. just size of the just to grow the size of the cake. gdp instead actually cake. gdp instead of actually wrestling the real wrestling with the real structural problems in our labour market, which is it's a race to the bottom many race to the bottom in too many sectors and health and social care is classic example care is a classic example of, well, suella braverman. >> she's, course, up >> she's, of course, piped up today. so she took to twitter saying million were saying 1.4 million people were granted here last year. granted visas here last year. asylum approvals high asylum approvals at record high work and student visa numbers , work and student visa numbers, including dependents, are including many dependents, are appalling. go we appalling. this cannot go on. we don't appalling. this cannot go on. we dont enough gps appalling. this cannot go on. we don't enough gps or don't have enough homes, gps or schools to support this level. she goes on say that the pm she goes on to say that the pm must adopt policies that i push for prevented for that would have prevented this disaster. need this national disaster. we need a on overall numbers. and a cap on overall numbers. and then she ends by saying britain will unrecognisable if this will be unrecognisable if this carries on. it's not what the british people, including me, voted for and that figure, by

the way, i don't know if you heard him polly middlehurst uh, briefing there, the news bulletin, £15 million a day on things like the hotel costs . i things like the hotel costs. i mean, that is so insulting to british people, kelvin, that go to work , that pay their taxes, to work, that pay their taxes, that can't afford to put their own heating on, that are scrimping and saving in their own lives, that perhaps miss meals , etc, that can't get into meals, etc, that can't get into doctors know that their tax doctors to know that their tax is going on. in some cases, things like four star hotels, it has been. it is a damn insult to them. >> it is. i mean, one of the issues that she raised there was that we are challenged as we all know. you know, not enough schools outside london, actually, strangely actually, which is actually shutting down as everybody takes flight . a as everybody takes flight. a gp's , uh, you know, not enough gp's, uh, you know, not enough homes being built. actually, to be truthful , there is enough. be truthful, there is enough. there is enough work. but we fill them up as you were correctly saying, tom, actually, with people from , uh, from other with people from, uh, from other other nations around the world. so our issue is that point

so our, our issue is that point that she makes is our country will become , um, uh, not will become, um, uh, not recognisable all strangely. that's kind of heading towards kind of enoch powell area . kind of enoch powell area. right. and but however , if, if right. and but however, if, if i noficed right. and but however, if, if i noticed on my own twitter that most people are piling in against suella bravo and saying were you were the blinking home secretary, how come you didn't do anything it? and of do anything about it? and of course, in truth, course, eventually, in truth, she was slung out because she wanted about wanted to do something about it. but that expression but that that expression unrecognisable. honestly, if you carried out piece research carried out a piece of research now, guessing here. i'm now, i'm just guessing here. i'm the right? i the poll of one, right? i suspect there would be quite a few people who would who would chime in that thought pi'ocess. >> process. >> but that's why there has to be democratic consent for the managed migration system we have, which i do believe has got out of control in more recent years. there are one off years. yes, there are one off factors. no one's saying we should, uh, return ukrainians fleeing a war in europe. no one's saying that we shouldn't offer refuge to hong kong .

offer refuge to hong kong. british nationals who have come here. they make up for a large amount of the figure. but where? i absolutely disagree with bravermans right wing rhetoric on this, which does, as you say, have these overtones of enoch powell, are other powell, and there are other conservative commentators who are and flirting are equally dancing and flirting with kind of rhetoric. it's with that kind of rhetoric. it's back to your at back to your point. at the start, . regardless of start, kelvin. regardless of who's in power , this is a who's in power, this is a country with an ageing population . ian. we're going to population. ian. we're going to need migration point number one. second point is obviously the government's got to sort out its own sector, like health and social care, where the vast majority these worker visas majority of these worker visas are that we are going to make sure that we value the sector more. and one good way of doing that is by paying good way of doing that is by paying our social care workers. and that might mean , by way, and that might mean, by the way, a and social care a new health and social care levy. i would get rid of national insurance because it's just another form of income tax. we this country we need a debate in this country about we actually fund long about how we actually fund long terme, health and social terme, our health and social care system. >> do you you think, though, >> do you do you think, though, that you think that is that do you think that this is this is really about money this is not really about money because very lucky. we're

because we are very lucky. we're in lifetime. gone down in my lifetime. we've gone down from number three in the world, down number 6 or 7 down to about number 6 or 7 in the world. so, we are the world. even so, we are wealthy, right? we are creating the world. even so, we are wlot:hy, right? we are creating the world. even so, we are wlot of. right? we are creating the world. even so, we are wlot of money,we are creating the world. even so, we are wlot of money, ae are creating the world. even so, we are wlot of money, a portioneating the world. even so, we are wlot of money, a portion ining a lot of money, a portion in caphal a lot of money, a portion in capital, which is a private eqtu capital, which is a private equity kind of expression. god knows what it's doing in this debate. right? right is the job of the government right . so what of the government right. so what is that is going slightly is it that is going slightly wrong? is it that people actually everybody's got their hand out. nobody wants to work. they've all got mental health difficulties, we're difficulties, which we're going to with on in the difficulties, which we're going to i with on in the difficulties, which we're going to i think. on in the difficulties, which we're going to i think. right. in the difficulties, which we're going to i think. right. or the difficulties, which we're going to i think. right. or ore difficulties, which we're going to i think. right. or or or show. i think. right. or or or is it that it is impossible in a democracy to supply bad news? is, is it have we got to the point where anybody who turns around and says we are going to do this, for instance, we're going to push back anybody who comes on a boat crosses into us. we're literally going to turn their back. and if some people die, then we're prepared to take the hit on that. would anybody ever that? no. right. ever say that? no. right. and yet how in that case we have yet how on in that case we have to accept the consequences and i

would argue, actually, that one of the reasons that none of the politicians have got the chops to that, the media to be able to do that, the media plays a quite a crucial role in all of this. >> because if you imagine, like being this day being a politician in this day and i do not envy these and age, i do not envy these people. it's easy to criticise them, you know, they come them, but, you know, they come up an they whatever up with an idea, they whatever change it. the second that they're something they're then amend something they're then amend something they piled doing a they piled on for doing a u—turn. they're getting u—turn. so they're getting absolutely battered by the press. try and change press. if they try and change their . if politician their course. if any politician at you wouldn't even at the i mean, you wouldn't even be able to get sentence out. be able to get the sentence out. as politician, we're going to as a politician, we're going to consider turn backs. you wouldn't get that sentence in its out because you its entirety out because you would every single would be called every single name under the name under the sun. the politicians panic. their politicians would panic. their 12 advisors would 12 year old advisors would panic, they would be panic, and they would be changing course quicker than a quick from quickly . quick thing from quickly. >> what? so what the >> and so what? so what is the answer, tom? mean, tom, you're answer, tom? i mean, tom, you're you're you're to the left of me. come on. you must have an answer. >> nuance and complex debate. but absolutely thing but there's absolutely one thing that should doing. that parliament should be doing. and view, setting and that is, in my view, setting annual quotas for these worker visas because that way mps can't

run away from the accountability we are now own our migration system . our mps need to be system. our mps need to be accountable for it . accountable for it. >> well, of course, but isn't that i mean, this whole quotas and this just such that i mean, this whole quotas and kind this just such that i mean, this whole quotas and kind of this just such that i mean, this whole quotas and kind of commont such that i mean, this whole quotas and kind of common sense? if basic kind of common sense? if you enable people to just ad infinitum recruit cheaper labour from overseas, well, why wouldn't they do that? we was talking the other day about fruit pick and whatnot, how many people got in touch and said, michelle, i used to do fruit picking, but now a lot of these farms, they have these caravans on there now. so you have of on there now. so you have all of this workers at a lower this foreign workers at a lower reduced wage, in caravans reduced wage, living in caravans on site. so how earth are you on site. so how on earth are you going change all of get going to change all of that? get in touch and let me know your thoughts. wayne thoughts. coming up next wayne couzens. absolute couzens. what an absolute scumbag. shall be talking scumbag. we shall be talking about went about the failings that went wrong and i wrong there. and crucially, i want know you trust want to know do you trust actually anyone really has actually that anyone really has learnt and all this learnt lessons and all this stuff? wouldn't actually happen again? in two.

>> in 2024, gb news is britain's election channel, so join me tom harwood for the rochdale by—election results from midnight through to 6 am. we'll discover the twists and turns of the most unpredictable by—election in a long time . by—election in a long time. >> you should be celebrated. i slept during it, you know, and from 6 am. friday, join michael portillo on gb news breakfast for his take on the results. >> gb news britain's election . >> gb news britain's election. channel hi . there, i'm michelle channel hi. there, i'm michelle dewberry with you till 7:00 tonight. >> the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie, and the visiting professor at staffordshire university, tom buick, remain alongside um, buick, remain alongside me. um, you people are you know, so many people are getting about why do getting in touch about why we do it. value and respect care workers in this country. jeff says, well, my partner works in care. she only gets minimum

wage, but there's also things like, not allowed. like, um, she's not allowed. she's allowed to eat she's only allowed to eat microwaved because she's microwaved meals because she's not client's not allowed to use the client's oven. understand , jeff oven. i don't understand, jeff said. she microwaves her meals in the client's kitchens, but she can't use the oven. i need i need a further explanation on that one. um, clive, he's got a theory. he says wages are depressing the social care sector because people like rishi sunak as, i quote, sunak regard it as, i quote, woman's and therefore feel woman's work and therefore feel that they can pay them less than men . i'm not sure that that's men. i'm not sure that that's the case, actually. of course, men get paid the same wage for doing that job as well. uh, a couple of people saying people don't do that job, don't want to do that job, michelle. it's backbreaking work don't want to do that job, mt'selle. it's backbreaking work don't want to do that job, mt's very it's backbreaking work don't want to do that job, mt's very kind ackbreaking work don't want to do that job, mt's very kind aciintimate work don't want to do that job, mt's very kind aciintimate andk . it's very kind of intimate and all the rest of it. the all the rest of it. so the attention and the attraction and the those kind of the appeal for those kind of roles isn't there. keep roles perhaps, isn't there. keep your in. uh, for your thoughts coming in. uh, for now, let's talk. sarah now, though, let's talk. sarah everard's he's everard's killer. i mean, he's absolutely disgusting. this person. you all know name by person. you all know his name by now. he obviously now. wayne cousins, he obviously spending rest of his life in spending the rest of his life in prison. good good. i'm going to

set loads of people now, but honestly, sometimes i think if there's ever a call for things like a return to the death penalty, that fella for me would be right up there the front be right up there in the front of queue because he didn't of the queue because he didn't just kill, uh, everard just kill, uh, sarah everard dodi, undermined the whole dodi, he undermined the whole kind of, um, sector, you kind of, um, sector, if you like, of policing now, because so many women in particular, when see police officer when you see a police officer now you've got something the now you've got something in the back of your mind that would make you think, do i trust that person? trust that person? do i trust that individual and what they're telling me and all the rest of it? he so much harm . uh, it? so he did so much harm. uh, much, much more beyond his crime. but anyway, let's just remind because this remind ourselves, because this is first of three, uh, is the first part of three, uh, this report that's today. this report that's out today. uh, and . here is the inquiry uh, and. here is the inquiry chairwoman lady. uh, eilish. uh, and erdely, i think that's how you pronounce it. let's have a listen to what she had to say. crucial >> the report shows how police recruitment and vetting failed to spot red flags about cousin's unsuitability . red flags were unsuitability. red flags were repeatedly ignored, meaning he

was granted the privilege of serving in three separate police forces . there is nothing to stop forces. there is nothing to stop another wing cousin's operating in plain sight, lady angelini, that was. >> let's also listen to james cleverly. he responded to tragically , the report tragically, the report identifies that cousins was completely unsuitable to serve as a police officer and were still that there were multiple occasions where this should could have been recognised . and could have been recognised. and you know what? let's make it a hat trick as well. let's listen to mark rowley and what he had to mark rowley and what he had to say in response. >> this report does. it paints a deeply disturbing picture of a starting from an astonishingly low base. i think what lady eilish has done really powerfully is lay out. this is what the gold standard looks like. this is what you've got to aim at, and we will collectively work on what it will take for

policing to get there as quickly as is practically possible . as is practically possible. >> i mean, i sit here honestly, can i say something about that, about mark rowley, that was a shocking, shocking thing he said there. >> absolutely shocking he is. where did he think she'd get all that scramble from? been that scramble from? he's been around all his around the met now all his career. he knows. he knows for sure . you're right. right from sure. you're right. right from the minute he came into it that there were wrong in there. there were wrong uns in there. right? done absolutely right? he has done absolutely sweet f.a. about the vetting procedure, which actually, if you look at this report, which is a shocking, you look at this report, which is a shocking , shocking is a shocking, shocking document, right . it basically document, right. it basically says from the moment he came into police force, whether into the police force, whether it was kent, that civil it was at kent, that civil nuclear area or it was the met, he could he should have failed every, every area, including apparently flash three times from about 2015. look and yet you get somebody like rowley coming on. oh this is where we want to get to. this is where we want to get to. this is where we want to get to. this is where we want to get to. in a funny way, it's the same issue about migration, because somebody won't stand up and simply say,

if scrap that now, what that if we scrap that now, what that may the way, if they may mean, by the way, if they have vetting high standard, have vetting of a high standard, do you know what happen? do you know what will happen? yeah, have no police yeah, we'll have no police officers actually many officers because actually many officers because actually many of the police officers, i suspect might fail. some of those areas and some of other people who are attracted to the police may not then go into it ehhen police may not then go into it either. it's a it's a massive problem. tom >> what i find disturbing is that nobody's resigned today or taken accountability for what is an absolutely shocking report, 360 pages, as you say, calvin , 360 pages, as you say, calvin, there were at least three attempts, uh, that at this individual made in terms of applications to the police service and was rejected and came back into the police service via this um, uh, special constable volunteering route. and it's just worth , you know, and it's just worth, you know, for our viewers. michelle, just reading out something else, actually, on six of the actually, on page six of the report had those report that had those responsible for police vetting not allowed, the process to usurp their independent thought and curiosity can concerns may

not have held the office cousins. i should say would not have held the office of police constable. i mean, how damning is that of the whole recruitment process? in other words, it was probably, you know, taking the knee to these hr processes that so many leaders and managers now are expected to do instead of actually, as they did on some occasions, trust their gut instinct and say, this guy's a wrong'un. he shouldn't be in the police service, but no one's been held to account. >> what about what about anybody who's police force now ? i who's in the police force now? i mean, one of the issues that we face in our country is that, as far as i do not know, police officers, do you know police officers? >> i do not know . i officers? >> i do not know. i don't personally. tom, i do, and personally. okay tom, i do, and most of them are really good. >> and how do you know them as neighbours or as as neighbours and also as friends. >> and i can tell you most police officers understand that not only do we have a system of policing in this country by the public's consent, but also they need to act in the public

interest and what was really concerning when i did read the angelini report as well, is that there were some officers within there were some officers within the met police who were advancing a theory about wayne couzens, that a bad couzens, that he was a bad apple. you know, the bad apple theory. well, he used to call him rapist. well, that was him the rapist. well, that was his called that. him the rapist. well, that was his in called that. him the rapist. well, that was his in the called that. him the rapist. well, that was his in the same:alled that. him the rapist. well, that was his in the same unitj that. him the rapist. well, that was his in the same unit thatt. but in in the same unit that cousins served in david carrick, who's also been by the way, investigated by this inquiry, the extra parts. >> yeah >> yes. yeah >> yes. yeah >> he was convicted of 49 >> he he was convicted of 49 crimes, including rape. so how in any way can this be seen as a bad apple? >> so let's address that . the >> so let's address that. the police themselves , colleagues police themselves, colleagues know that that that that when they mean bad apple they mean a criminal, a serious criminal who is carrying out , who is carrying is carrying out, who is carrying out the very crimes which they are arresting other people for. so why is it within the police force ? it's quite clear within force? it's quite clear within the met. why is it that they don't do anything about it? what is stopping? i'm a great admirer of the cops. i love seeing them. if see them at waterloo if i see them at waterloo station heart, go like

station. my heart, i go like that. but what is it about being a police officer that stops them acting against their own? what is it? well, do you know that? >> i can tell you now. actually, i know some audience and i know some of my audience and i know that i have great deal of know that i have a great deal of serving police officers, retired police officers, former police officers. so answer that question , if you will. uh, did question, if you will. uh, did you know ever that there was a wrong'un among your kind of, uh, colleagues ? and did you do colleagues? and did you do anything about it ? one of the anything about it? one of the things that i find quite interesting is when you interesting is that when you look when literally look at when cousins, literally just days before he went just a few days before he went on to do that appalling act of sarah everard, he'd apparently flashed again, i think this was like the third time now going through they through a drive through, they knew. they had his car knew. right? so they had his car registration. this is how registration. and this is how blatant he is. i can't even it's so disgusting. he went in his own car, flashing , paid for his own car, flashing, paid for his meal on his own credit card. he knew that nobody was going to do anything about it and there is this thing in society where there um , attacks, um, and

there are, um, attacks, um, and assaults and all the rest of it on women. and i don't think they are taken seriously because somebody , somewhere is just somebody, somewhere is just sitting there. they're going, oh yeah, there's this fella, you know, he's got his bits out for a woman, like put it as a low priority. but actually a lot of these that's how they these people that's how they start. they don't wake up one day just become mass day and just become a mass murderer. gradually. murderer. they start gradually. and think how and it makes me think how important is. i'm going important it is. i'm going on a random tangent, but it's linked. the other day when i saw that trans was a man that trans person that was a man that had murdered another man , and had murdered another man, and all media, they're all going all the media, they're all going around about around in circles talking about all woman has done this to all this woman has done this to this man. i'm scared , beaming at this man. i'm scared, beaming at the television. like, the television. and i'm like, it's woman. it was a man it's not a woman. it was a man that murdered another man . and that murdered another man. and it's so important for me. tom because actually, you need to be accurate when you're collecting crime statistics so that you have a proper picture about male to violence. what are men to female violence. what are men getting up to in society and when and i don't mean to be rude because i know you're all men, so don't worry. i'm playing

so don't worry. i'm not playing all when you start all men. but when you start lying being dishonest and lying and being dishonest and saying you know, you're calling saying, you know, you're calling an actual man woman, then an actual man a woman, and then you're tracking and you're tracking things and logging things as though it's a female to of female getting up to some of these you're asking for these things. you're asking for trouble. the these things. you're asking for troubleare the these things. you're asking for troubleare to the these things. you're asking for troubleare to blame. the media are to blame. >> the media are to blame. sky news was referring to that. that particular as she. right. particular killer as she. right. she what is wrong with sky news? it's a massive corporation . it's it's a massive corporation. it's part of a big company. don't they know the difference between a male killer and a jk rowling was right and what about that guardian writer ? she she quit. guardian writer? she she quit. she quit over it and you know, and virtually the guardian paid lip service to changing the fifth paragraph and change the word woman out of it. there is something wrong with our media in this country. you know what it is? it's because they're scared losing the scared of losing the advertising, right? if they start being the wrong side of start being on the wrong side of those to those arguments coming back to this report today, if this shocking report today, if you don't mind, i'm going to avoid the transgender. >> why media hole. why? well not

because i don't have a problem with biological and with biological sex and scientific facts. it's just that, you know, i think this is a really, really important report because actually, we don't to to any don't want this to happen to any young again, do we? and young woman again, do we? and the actually the fact is, something actually that said today, that yvette cooper said today, the shadow home secretary, she's sick and tired. i think the country is sick tired of country is sick and tired of these systemic failings . we have these systemic failings. we have these systemic failings. we have these we umpteen these reports. we have umpteen recommendations. we have the likes of sir mark rowley that turns up our screens and turns up on our tv screens and says, we're going to go for says, oh, we're going to go for gold standard. is never gold standard. this is never going to happen again. and then months later find that young months later we find that young women going out and women cannot enjoy going out and find those safe spaces. and all the rest of it. and i, you know, i don't want to put anybody off their tea or their dinner. this evening, michelle. but actually, their tea or their dinner. this evenieilishichelle. but actually, their tea or their dinner. this evenieilish does e. but actually, their tea or their dinner. this evenieilish does address:tually, their tea or their dinner. this evenieilish does address your.y, lady eilish does address your point about what is it about these predatory men the these predatory men who show the signs very early on? you know, they're predators, that signs very early on? you know, theytalks predators, that signs very early on? you know, theytalks about redators, that signs very early on? you know, theytalks about things s, that signs very early on? you know, theytalks about things like, it signs very early on? you know, theytalks about things like, uh, she talks about things like, uh, you know, mass debauchery, indecency and how we need to get training into the national police college to even

understand what that is and to take action against it. >> i mean, what do you really need to go to some kind of in—depth college course to realise that when a man, i mean, we had a case, um, in holland, many of you will be familiar with, uh, libby squire. she was murdered again an awful way. murdered again in an awful way. and when you trace the guy back, that it, was going up to that did it, he was going up to people's windows and he was doing things. i'll let use doing things. i'll let you use your because it's your imagination because it's teatime watching. teatime and kids are watching. he things , and he got he was doing things, and he got away with and up and up and away with it and up and up and momentum and they momentum gains. and then they pushed and then pushed the boundaries. and then they to get their in they need to get their kicks in different ways. disgusting. different ways. it's disgusting. >> this. former police >> and so is this. former police officer. point. officer. but that's the point. where the training, where is where is the training, where is the understanding. but importantly, happened the understanding. but importedrive happened the understanding. but importedrive through happened the understanding. but importedrive through restauranted to that drive through restaurant and a police officer fired and a police officer was fired as of it, that case was as a result of it, that case was reported that indecency several days happened to i days before. what happened to i know. completely know. so it was completely avoidable. is my tragic death. >> but this is my tragic death. that was so you tell me at home because it absolutely was avoidable . so question that avoidable. so the question that i've all at home, do i've got for you all at home, do you changes will be

you trust that changes will be made that this of thing made and that this kind of thing will not happen again? i don't trust i wrong ? if so, trust that. am i wrong? if so, tell me why after the break. let's talk non—doms is it time to scrap the non—dom tax status in this country or not? see you then.

hi there, michelle dewberry , i'm hi there, michelle dewberry, i'm with you till seven. the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie and the visiting professor staffordshire professor at staffordshire university, , remain university, tom bullock, remain alongside me. jeff says i'm a retired police officer and i can tell you every single police force currently employ criminally convicted officers , criminally convicted officers, and that is in the here and now is in my day, you'd have been kicked straight out. paul says, michelle, what you've got to understand is the average copper is frightened of being called a

grass . and that's why some of grass. and that's why some of the wrong ones are not being called out . uh, doug says i'm called out. uh, doug says i'm a retired officer , and i can't retired officer, and i can't understand how so many rogues are being allowed in. uh, in the first place. he says, uh, when he joined back in the day, all the checks and balances were in place, and you basically wouldn't, um, have stepped foot over the door and been able to, uh, so many people . mike says uh, so many people. mike says the normal person is being failed by the police. dale we are, you know , i've got to say, are, you know, i've got to say, as a woman, uh, no offence to any officers, but if i was driving along and some police car pulled up and fella got car pulled up and some fella got out, officer got out and out, this officer got out and said to me, can you get out your car? i wouldn't, i wouldn't because i wouldn't trust that that person was a police officer. then what you do officer. so then what do you do with someone like me that with someone like me in that situation? answers a situation? uh, answers on a postcard, please. anyway, look, the chancellor, hunt, he the chancellor, jeremy hunt, he is scrapping or is now considering scrapping or scaling tax . i scaling back the non—dom tax. i found this absolutely fascinating , because this found this absolutely fascinating, because this is labour's kind of speciality dish, isn't it? this is the drum that they bang. so for the

tories to consider scrapping this be interesting. this, it will be interesting. but let's just kind of, um, let's just look what a non—dom is. by the way. it's when you, um, you're essentially resident somewhere else, but you're living here and it's all about whether or not you have to pay your tax on overseas earnings in this country or not. do you think we should scrap the non—dom? >> no, no, i don't actually. and uh, the idea that hunt who i have a massive question mark aboutis have a massive question mark about is our chancellor. anyway um, is so desperate in order to, in some odd way , try and find in some odd way, try and find thruppence down the back of the sofa that we're going to adopt some, some rather socialist. um, in fact it is. i mean, there are only two socialist policies as far as i know, in related finance, and this is one of them. right at the end of the day, these are very rich people, okay? they can go anywhere. they can anywhere off to monaco. can go anywhere off to monaco. i like them here. i like them buying houses . like them here. i like them buying houses. i like them buying big houses. i like them going expensive restaurants. buying big houses. i like them glike expensive restaurants. buying big houses. i like them glike them pensive restaurants. buying big houses. i like them glike them having restaurants.

i like them having big cars. i like having chauffeurs and like them having chauffeurs and butlers that kind of butlers and all that kind of thing. they can as as thing. they can have as much as they like, right? after all, the amount tax they will pay tax amount of tax they will pay tax in country because. because in this country because. because actually they're clever people and have earned and they will have earned something. are something. so actually, they are the people we want in the kind of people we want in our country. we've got enough of the we've got enough of the scum, we've got enough of the scum, we've got enough of the skint dim. i like the skint in the dim. i like having people. the fact having wealthy people. the fact that a life that you that they live a life that you can dream about. i don't can only dream about. i don't mind, not like this idea. mind, i do not like this idea. >> calvin, bless him, has >> so calvin, god bless him, has just the red tabloid just given the red top tabloid defence. he's rich people. they'll go somewhere else. yeah, no, they won't. they love their mayfair clubs too much. they love their big houses london mayfair clubs too much. they lovethe ir big houses london mayfair clubs too much. they lovethe southeast.es london and the southeast. >> them, they come here >> some of them, they come here for the creativity and the culture. >> and as you were saying there, michelle, the issue in michelle, the issue here is in terms of the non—dom status, it's who actually, for terms of the non—dom status, it'sintents who actually, for terms of the non—dom status, it's intents and actually, for terms of the non—dom status, it'sintents and purposes, for terms of the non—dom status, it's intents and purposes, they all intents and purposes, they live like do. live here just like you do. calvin at the moment. and i do, um , and millions of other people um, and millions of other people do the country. so why should do in the country. so why should they a special deal? do in the country. so why should they doctors, ecial deal? do in the country. so why should they doctors, those deal? do in the country. so why should they doctors, those nurses.? do in the country. so why should they doctors, those nurses , those doctors, those nurses, those social care workers, it's earnings they're not earning. >> come on. they they

>> come on, come on. they they will they will, they will they will they will, they will they will have wealth that will have enough wealth that they creating wealth and they are creating wealth and creating employment in our country. absolute bunkum. >> i'll tell you what should >> and i'll tell you what should not well, look, i will not accuse. well, look, i will show where's the stats then. show you where's the stats then. >> where's the stats then let him tell go on. him tell you then go on. >> tom. >> tom. >> you would elm—- >> well, you would hardly accuse the of being the united states of being socialist. or socialist. communist or whatever. they have a policy in terms your tax return. terms of your annual tax return. it's why, by the way, boris johnson gave his us johnson gave up his us citizenship taxed citizenship where you are taxed on worldwide income, why on your worldwide income, why don't a policy here of don't we have a policy here of taxing on their worldwide taxing people on their worldwide income? we've got income? sure, because we've got double taxation treaties. you can choose which jurisdiction you want be taxed in. so for you want to be taxed in. so for example, rishi sunaks wife, she could taxed could choose to be taxed in india than taxed here in india rather than taxed here in the but the point is, we the uk. but the point is, we have just the that argument, that argument has no there's no scrutiny of that argument . scrutiny of that argument. >> it's worth anything. i wish we had the american tax system right. we'd have no inheritance tax you're making £20 tax unless you're making £20 million. actually tax million. and actually the tax system works. absolutely if system works. i absolutely if you're saying i have to give up

my non—dom view for the american tax system, no. fantastic i'll do that. >> tories now are going to bring it in the, the con socialists. >> well i certainly hope not. and that will be another reason why you know who why jeremy hunt you know who scout godalming november. scout at godalming in november. yeah. know who proposed >> well you know who proposed this it was george this move. it was george osborne. austerity. osborne. the austerity. well, exactly who want him. why exactly who would want him. why don't steal? don't you go and steal? >> who would want him? he's >> who? who would want him? he's trying he's trying to trying to. he's trying to persuade country that persuade the country that we should have. we should have a an arab daily arab dictatorship in the daily telegraph i'm pleased. i'm not in favour of george. >> raise £3.6 billion for schools, hospitals . schools, hospitals. >> they won't. they'll all leg it. it'll it'll, it'll raise three and ninepence. >> yeah. i've got to say that figure is disputed. and that figure is disputed. and that figure depends of figure also depends on all of those staying in this country. >> and many of them will well, some will. >> are you one of them, by the way, are there any random 70,000 of that are minted are of them that are minted are watching this, perhaps in a mayfair club? get in touch and tell tax change that tell me if this tax change that tom to see comes in, would tom wants to see comes in, would you stay or would you go? coming

up after the break? i promise you, of most you, it's one of the most ridiculous things that you will have in a time. and have heard in a long time. and that's friends, saying that's my friends, is saying something. you in two.

hello there. i'm michelle dewberry with you till 7:00 tonight. right alongside me. i've got tom buick and kelvin mackenzie . but strange things mackenzie. but strange things have happened in the break because kelvin has finally let loose and kelvin is in his place . hello? the false eyelashes are on. they are natural eyelashes for me. kelvin, look at that. everybody look at him. you could work as some kind of panto dame or something like that. >> yeah , well that may that may. >> yeah, well that may that may. you know, i'm always looking out for fresh venture ideas is what i've not told kelvin is that when we've applied these fake eyelashes to kelvin, we've done

so, uh, in glue that lasts a month. >> i'm not talking that bit yet. so you'll be seeing all his appearances with those things on his face. anyway, there's a serious reason that kelvin is donning his falsies tonight. everyone. because there is a school in kent , right? i everyone. because there is a school in kent, right? i promise you, this is so ridiculous. it's a letter has been sent to parents now basically saying , parents now basically saying, um, that for considerations of pupils mental health and the fact that so many students were taking time off to have eyelashes applied during school time, the school has now decided to allow false eyelashes to be worn at school . well, i have worn at school. well, i have very strong opinions on this, not least because i find it absurd. but kelvin, where are you on this? >> well, first of all, i. >> well, first of all, i. >> i wish you could all see him as close up as i could see him. go on. right, right. >> so. so the fundamental issue is this , this headteacher has is this, this headteacher has said that, that the, that his pupils are suffering from mental

health trauma because because they aren't allowed to wear it where is the proof of that. i mean if, if somebody says it to you, it doesn't mean to say it's true. and what do you do? go and get a psychiatrist or a counsellor to come and treat you. and secondly, now this head has said it. i don't know what the rules are in schools. it's all right for you. this is michelle. this is michelle, the bully, the she insisted bully, by the way. she insisted if i was to come on tonight, i had to wear these these false eyelashes. it's absolutely ludicrous. >> rang up. he went, oh, >> he rang me up. he went, oh, michelle, please not yet. please. can i wear my eyelashes? >> that is wholly untrue , though. >> no you can't, kelvin. and he said, but what about my mental health? and then i thought to myself, go on then, i'll myself, oh, go on then, i'll have let him do it. have to let him do it. >> okay, but but what's going to happen of the happen to the rest of the country now? because this this story appeared in times this story appeared in the times this morning a whole morning and i presume a whole load other teachers will load of other head teachers will read that they will read this. and that they will allow as well and doesn't it allow it as well and doesn't it play allow it as well and doesn't it play the argument that play to the argument that the mental is play is
