last night for the precedent it set at home and for other countries, and how we respond to the most vulnerable. well i have long suspected archbishop welby is pro complete open borders. so it comes as no surprise that he wouldn't want other nations to enforce theirs in this way, either . he continues. this either. he continues. this includes victims of modern slavery and children wrongly assessed as adults whom we have assessed as adults whom we have a duty to protect. data shows that between 2016 and december 2022, there were 7900 asylum cases where the age was disputed, 49% of them were found to be adults. welby goes on we know with sadness and concern the rise in hostility towards those who come to these islands, seeking refuge and the way in which the treatment of the refugee and asylum seeker has been used as a political football. okay, what rise in hostility? where is the evidence for that? take the bibby stockholm barge as an example. there are numerous different groups there , working together groups there, working together

with teams of lawyers to do all they to can welcome these people and allow them to stay in britain. what there are, however, are people who are concerned about national security and the safety of vulnerable people, not least women and girls and people who are worried about their house pnces are worried about their house prices plummeting because they now live within 100 yards of a migrant hotel, something that welby doesn't have to worry about himself. he continues , we about himself. he continues, we are disappointed that the kindness and support offered by churches and charities to the people at the heart of this debate those fleeing war, persecution and violence trying to find a place of safety has been unjustly maligned by some for political reasons. right, mr welby knows that the issue is with economic migrants and that there is no war in france. the archbishop hit out at people who dared to suggest that the church of england had been, quote, deliberately facilitating false asylum claims. now, this is a very grey area , isn't it, mr very grey area, isn't it, mr welby? because, as he knows, it's very difficult for people

like me to know exactly what is going on inside a member of the clergy's head when they are helping someone with their asylum claim . but we can have asylum claim. but we can have a look at some facts, can't we? the c of e was accused of running an asylum seeker baptism conveyor belt. they strenuously denied this. they called it nonsense. but then quietly , a nonsense. but then quietly, a couple of months later, they decided to launch an urgent review . well, why would you feel review. well, why would you feel the need to launch an urgent review if you thought that there wasn't even just the possibility of a problem there? mr welby then sought to vindicate himself by saying when asked, neither the home secretary nor officials could provide evidence to support the allegation of widespread abuse. note the use of the word widespread there. okay, so what? there might have been just a bit of abuse, a smidgen of abuse. judges have raised concerns about it being generous, really , and saying generous, really, and saying that well—meaning vicars are being misled . we've had cases being misled. we've had cases like an iranian migrant who didn't know that jesus was born

in bethlehem when he was asked in bethlehem when he was asked in a religion test, the 42 year old didn't attend church and hadnt old didn't attend church and hadn't been baptised. so those are some of the people we're deaung are some of the people we're dealing with here now. the bishop of chelmsford is admitting that the c of e may have been duped by some asylum seekers. i mean, a few months ago we unearthed this document, didn't we? which is how members of the clergy can support asylum seekers letters of support, finding legal advice. there is a rizla paper here between well—meaning, naive vicars who've been conned or people who were wilfully lying and fudging asylum applications so we can identify a pattern, but we can't prove an underlying motive . and prove an underlying motive. and while we know that, doesn't he? welby knows that whether he likes it or not, in my view, it is clear that human traffickers, lawyers and illegal immigration fixers have seen the church of england and other churches not just the c of e and other churches, as an open door into britain. but this is the crucial point for me, welby said this,

like so many in this country, we seek to support a system that shows compassion, justice, transparency and speed in its decisions. we grieve the appalling loss of life in the channel today. he made those comments yesterday. the archbishop has done everything possible to block the rwanda bill, to block the deterrent, adding to the backlog. now, yesterday people died again in the channel. okay listen to these channel migrants when they find out about the rwanda plan, how i'm very stressed, he tells me. >> i don't know what to do. all i can think about is this letter and rwanda . and rwanda. >> rwanda is not a safe place. >> rwanda is not a safe place. >> does it make you regret coming to the uk? >> yeah. if you know , before >> yeah. if you know, before i came here, you said that, you know, the same to me in rwanda. inever know, the same to me in rwanda. i never come here. >> i never come here. does the archbishop not think that maybe, just maybe, if flights to rwanda

had taken off a couple of years ago, that those people who sadly died in the channel would actually be alive today. but let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i am joined by the director of popular conservatives , mark littlewood. conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks, and of course we've got the author and journalist rebecca reid. mark, i'll start with you. i mean, really, i just found that was quite disingenuous. some of that stuff from welby , it's pretty extraordinary. >> look, i accept that there are left wing political campaigners who want britain to have basically an open borders policy , but justin welby is not supposed to be a left wing political campaigner in a slightly silly outfit. he's supposed to be the head of the established church in the united kingdom, in england at least. and i don't think he should be making these political points. so whilst patrick, i probably agree with your take down of his actual policies, he shouldn't be

making these sort of observations he's describing the government as using asylum policy as a political football. you'll have to refer me to which gospel jesus talked about political footballs. if the church of england wants to remain an established church with 20 odd bishops in the house of lords, they need to talk a little bit more about christianity and good faith and a little less about left wing politics. are you a churchgoer, mark? >> no, i'm not. so part of church is the gospel and learning about what's in the bible. but in every portion of the church of england church, they give a sermon. and that has historically , since the church historically, since the church has existed, been them giving a political view . i think they political view. i think they should that is, i think that is a just establish, but is a huge , a just establish, but is a huge, important tenet of being a religious leader that is left wing, campaigning 100% throughout my entire life i have sat and listened to them. i don't mind give political opinions. they are supposed to. >> i don't mind left wing campaigners getting together and heanng campaigners getting together and hearing a sermon. i do mind them automatically getting the status

of having 20 or so bishops in the house of lords if they want to pronounce those surnames as legislation is going through. >> but we have a church of england because it's our it's our national. >> my view is we should just establish it. i don't think it should have pride of place, particularly given the clear political agenda. the church of england now has. they're entitled to have it, but not as an established. they have always had a political agenda. this isn't and they shouldn't. so i'm saying entitled to your opinion establishment of the church? >> no, i think can i just ask, given the fact that church attendances are plummeting , do attendances are plummeting, do you really think that not actually, it's not a dramatic . actually, it's not a dramatic. people have been talking about it plummeting 90s. >> yeah. they they have lost. this is right off the top of my head now because i did this a few weeks ago. but they have lost about half a million people since the coronavirus pandemic started. >> people didn't come back necessarily after church up, but that doesn't count. that is literally just sunday worship. that's not evensong, that is not christmas and easter. all right, all right. >> this guy really gets under my skin. i mean, i'm not a religious figure. so, you know, this this archbishop of wokery

just doesn't stop getting involved in politics. it he's a romanian that lives in an ivory tower that isn't affected by what these migrants are doing in towns and cities across the uk. ispeak towns and cities across the uk. i speak to worried parents that have got migrant hotels near their their child's school. i've seen migrants walking up and down the town called epping, just just a few miles from me, causing mayhem, going into council offices, demanding things from council staff. why is he getting involved ? at the is he getting involved? at the end of the day he's a remainer, a remainer . end of the day he's a remainer, a remainer. eu countries have got detention camps. they some of the countries deport en masse. yet he never says anything about that. why does people like justin welby always paint this country as the bogeyman? why are we the church of england? >> so it would be odd for him to be commenting on what we or we do. >> so much more for these migrants than most countries.

yet we're painted in such a bad light it is a disgrace. >> potentially a little bit of an irony really, which is that he is content, it seems, anyway, for the overwhelming importation of people from muslim countries as the head of the church of england, i'm not really sure how that marries up again. >> so liaison between different faiths, including, including islam, has always been a really important part of the church of england. and it's how you have a harmonious community sense and that's always been. so i grew up going to church, and absolutely we would go on visits to mosques. it's important to keep that communication going. that's part of his job. >> look, look, if justin welby was clearly just a left wing campaigner in a slightly silly outfit, rather than the head of the established church, clearly disrespectful to people's faith to call it a silly outfit. well, i think it is a silly outfit. so. but he is a left wing campaigner and he is using political terms. >> he's not using christians as he always has. they are christians. so i think people get confused. people think it's like the bbc. it is not an apolitical establishment. >> can i also just ask as well?

i mean, they have launched an urgent review supposedly into these allegations, which they convey about they're trying to get it right. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> but the statement that i that he put pen to paper on there, which, by the way, was not just the church of england, it was other other churches as well. i read that as them completely absolving himself from, from any of that stuff. and i really think i really think that's very disingenuous. yes. >> but they haven't they haven't done the proper they haven't done the proper they haven't done a proper analysis of this. if the c of e was talking about when asylum seekers arrive here, you know, whether it's within the law or not, we will provide them shelter and housing and food and the rest of it. i think i would understand, even though i'm not a christian myself, i would understand the christian teaching there. this is something that could have been sent out as a press release by the labour party. >> it would be counter to the word of the bible to refuse somebody a baptism if they're asking for it, just like justin welby is going against the majority of this country, not his 48. >> no . >> no. >> no. >> 48 rhetoric on this. >> 48 rhetoric on this. >> the majority of people are angry or worried about illegal

immigration, 48 we do not want our taxpayers money being wasted on these illegal immigrants. they're economic migrants. they're economic migrants. they're not asylum seekers. we've got horrific crimes being committed by some of them. god knows who we're importing. you know, terrorist gangsters, rapists. we do not know. it's a national security problem. and it's got to stop. >> points out that we need a faster, better system is facilitating it. >> we wouldn't have had the alkaline attacker if he hadn't been converted to christianity. yeah, yeah. >> okay. well fair enough . >> okay. well fair enough. >> okay. well fair enough. >> but he was from he was from afghanistan. >> he was baptist. but i tell you, he was from afghanistan. i take your point. he was from afghanistan. yeah, yeah. so we have so we automatically took everybody from afghanistan. >> and we all agree that like ukraine, that was correct. he was cruz was correct. >> state okay. >> state okay. >> all right. okay. well, look, there we go. thank you very much for another lively start. it's good to be back. still to come as the french come under fire for yesterday's migrant drownings is david cameron wrong to suggest that leaving the echr would not help solve the small

boat crisis ? lee anderson takes boat crisis? lee anderson takes david cameron to task. he's up shortly. but up next, tory mp james sunderland goes head to head with former labour minister bill rammell on whether or not rishi sunak is actually played. a bit of a blinder here over defence. has he torpedoed keir starmer on that crucial election issue of defence spending? this issue of defence spending? this is patrick christys tonight. we're only on

gb news. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. only on gb news now. still to come. lee anderson hits back at foreign secretary david cameron, who insists that leaving the echr would not help stop the small boats crisis . but stop the small boats crisis. but first, has sunak beaten starmer on that crucial election issue of defence spending? it's time for tonight's head to head . so for tonight's head to head. so rishi sunak this week announced bold plans to increase britain's defence spending by £75 billion over the next six years, bringing britain's annual defence budget up to £87 billion by 2030. this will make us comfortably the biggest spenders on defence in nato after the us. of course, now, as recently as yesterday, labour were pledging to match the tories on defence spending. >> yes, 2.5% by 2030 2.5% as the target we need to get to because thatis target we need to get to because that is part of our obligations 2030, that is part of our obugafions 2030, that is part of our obligations as a member of nato.

>> so that is what labour would be working towards. >> do you want to match that? >> do you want to match that? >> would you do it by 2030? >> would you do it by 2030? >> yes. labour would want to match that. >> labour would want to match that. >> labour would want to match that . but then >> labour would want to match that. but then this morning, emily thornberry was wheeled out to perform another screeching labour u—turn. >> keir said several weeks ago that we wanted to move towards spending 2.5% on defence and indeed when we were in power last, that was about the amount of money that we were spending. but we will do it as as circumstances allow , as circumstances allow, as circumstances allow, as circumstances allow, as circumstances allow, while the labour party once again goes back on the word, sunak is actually doing something significant now to keep the country safe. >> he's been in germany today to deepening defence ties with europe as the war in ukraine rumbles on. so tonight i'm asking as labour u—turn on their defence spending pledge has sunak torpedoed starmer on that crucial election issue of defence? let me know your thoughts. you can go to gbnews.com/yoursay or tweet me @gbnews. while you're there, make sure you go and vote in our

poll. the results will follow shortly. look, going head to head on this now. our tory mp james sunderland and former labour minister of the armed forces, bill rammell shapps. thank you very much. great to have you both on the show, james, look, i'll start with you really here. i mean, it looked a little bit last week anyway. like maybe you'd been outmanoeuvred by by, keir starmer. and i do think that now actually , it looks as though actually, it looks as though rishi sunak is, to quote an op ed in the sun today, saved all of our lives. >> well , the answer is quite >> well, the answer is quite simple. defence of the realm is the primary function of government. this is non—discretionary activity. the decision has been taken to go to 2.5% of gdp. as a commitment, i welcome that commitment, but it's a reflection of the fact that the world is a dangerous place, the fact that our foes are emboldened and the fact that the threats are multiple and that we have to spend more on defence in order to safeguard british interests . british interests. >> well, i'll bring you in now, bill. i mean, it does appear as

though that was just a skin deep policy announcement by labour, wasn't it? you were always going to have to just look under the bonnet of the finances, ben wallace said, oh, this is what you'll do. you'll say that you need to look at the finances. you'll have a look at the finances, you'll order some kind of review, and we'll be 2 or 3 years down the line under a labour government, and there'll still be no whopping great big increase in defence. he was right, wasn't he ? right, wasn't he? >> no. because fiscal credibility and responsibility matters to the labour party. and we've we've said consistently we want to get to 2.5% of gdp. but as resources allow. but you know what sunak has committed to in terms of a specific timetable is wholly lacking in credibility. 14 years in power, having crashed the economy, having cut the army by 40,000 soldiers, having reduced defence spending from 2.5% of gdp as it was under the last labour government. now, in the dying days of this

administration, they commit to the biggest defence transformation in generations. and on top of that, he says today they want more tax cuts. it's liz truss with knobs on and it would bankrupt our public services and bankrupt the economy in terms of a specific timetable. >> okay, all right. but look james, i will put it to you. is there a whiff of what happened to the police here, where you cut 20,000 police officers out of money? it was. and now you expect a round of applause for, you know, redeploying them? >> no, not at all. we've seen a peace dividend since the second world war and the cold war, threats of change. responsible governments adapt to circumstances . and the circumstances. and the announcement today is reflective of that exact priority, and of course, it's interesting . listen course, it's interesting. listen to labour, of course, because three of the current cabinet, their shadow cabinet voted against trident, too not long ago. so labour can't be trusted on defence whatsoever , this is a on defence whatsoever, this is a clear commitment, labour are all at sea over this. it was embarrassing watching labour

today. embarrassing watching labour today . their backbenchers were today. their backbenchers were outflanking their frontbench on shadow defence, and it was actually quite amusing to see the fact that the tories have stolen a march on this. the tories are doing the right thing. the tories are investing in defence and security, quite rightly because of the world that we are living in, and labour has no answer but to snipe from the sidelines. >> all right. look, bill, you've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory here. the labour party. okay it all looked very rosy a couple of weeks ago now under the tories, we rishi sunak we have a vow to boost uk defence spending to 2.5% of gdp by 2030. and actually we don't know what labour would do. do we? >> look, if sunak was serious about that, he would have put this commitment in the budget . this commitment in the budget. he didn't. >> do we know what labour would do, bill? >> yeah, yeah this is pure electioneering. look at the scale of the commitment. it's more than the whole of the national schools budget. if you look at the future tory public spending commitments, there are 17% cuts in non—protected areas.

what are labour's commitments to defence bill go on. yeah. our our commitments is to get back to the amount of money we spent on defence as a proportion of gdp, but as resources allow, we've had the wish fulfilment from the tories. we saw how unfunded commitments can crash the economy as we had under liz truss and we're not going to repeat that. >> so it's not a policy bill, is it? look, with respect bill. it's not is it. it's well we'll look to do this as resources allow one day. bill i'd like to buy a maserati. when resources allow. that's not a commitment, is it, bill? >> well, but sorry if you make commitments that you don't have a credible means of delivering you one, then you imperil the economy . two, you break people's economy. two, you break people's trust in the process of politics and government. that's what we've seen over the last 14 years under the tories. we're not going to do that as a responsible and credible labour party. and you know , this is party. and you know, this is about pure electioneering. the

tories have made this commitment at the fag end of their time in office. they know that it will have to be delivered by the next government, almost certainly a labour government. it's a scorched earth strategy so that they can then criticise the labour party in power. it's not serious and responsible government. >> look, james rishi sunak is adamant that this is fully costed. is it? can you prove that? >> yeah, it's fully costed because the figures have been released, if you look at the obr forecasts and the way in which the money will be found, to 2030, i think it's pretty clear from the documents that came out . but it's conservative fiscal pragmatism that currently is resulting in inflation falling interest rates will fall, mortgage rates will fall. costs are thankfully coming down in many areas. and of course, the economy will grow and continue to grow and therefore it's imperative that we use the, the benefit that we derive from increased income , from higher increased income, from higher wages, from higher taxation ,

wages, from higher taxation, which is a function of a improving economy to invest where we need to. >> so with respect, james, then bill is right. you're going to tax us more so that we can boost our defence more. is that just the truth of it ? the truth of it? >> no, not at all. i mean, taxes will ultimately come down. but don't forget the take for the treasury will go up with an improving economy. that's the point i'm making. and it is imperative right now , if you imperative right now, if you look at what's happening in the world, you know, labour can talk about, you know, when fiscal conditions allow. but the fact is we got the russians now who have invaded ukraine. ukraine is not too far away . we have a not too far away. we have a non—discretionary commitment to counter that threat with increased nato spending. that is what's happening . we've got what's happening. we've got instability in the middle east. we've got the houthi firing on british ships, we've got iranian instability in the middle east. it is imperative that the british government that a responsible british government protects its people. >> look, both of you top stuff. thank you very, very much. again, we could have just carried that on for another hour or so, but we've got to we've

got to rattle through. so thank you. that was tory mp james sunderland, former labour minister as well of the armed forces bill rammell. look who do you agree with. so as sunak now beaten starmer on that crucial issue of defence spending, your verdict is in. interesting. this is 69% of you agree that sunak has beaten starmer on that crucial issue of defence. 31% of you say that he hasn't. yeah, interesting isn't it? i suppose it's that cast iron commitment from rishi sunak. it all looked great for labour a couple of weeks ago. and then they decided to row back and go, well we'll have to look under the bonnet of the finances. and you think, well, you probably will, but actually does that mean you'll ever do it? so anyway, coming up, meghan markle bullying rumours are resurfacing years after palace staff first spoke out. so could the dam be about to burst? former royal correspondent for the bbc, michael cole gives his unrivalled insight. but next david cameron has contradicted his boss, appearing to rule out leaving the echr to solve the small boats crisis. but can the rwanda bill really save britain's borders? lee anderson tees off on lord cameron right

after this break. don't miss

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight on gb news. look coming up, former royal correspondent for the bbc, michael cole, sheds more light on the meghan markle bullying rumours that are threatening to resurface. but first, it's time for reform uk's lee anderson mp. five illegal migrants, including one young child. tragically died

while crossing the channel yesterday in a shockingly overcrowded dinghy that french authorities had waved off from the beach with no real resistance whatsoever. this comes just hours after the safety of rwanda bill, designed to stop the small boats, was finally passed in parliament, and then , in an apparent and then, in an apparent contradiction of the prime minister's position, david cameron has today come out with us, i would say is we have to make sure we deal with illegal immigration. >> that comes first. i don't think it's necessary to leave the echr. i don't think that is needs to happen to make this policy work. but i know what matters. the most. it's being able to say to the british public, we've got a fair immigration system, we've got a strong immigration system, and we're not putting up with illegal migration. it must be for britain to say who can come and who can't come, rather than anybody else. >> well, meanwhile, starmer seems sure that everyone to plan won't work at all. >> the government has lost control of the borders, but this rwanda gimmick is not the way to

stop it. it cost an absolute fortune . £300 million already fortune. £300 million already another 50 million either this week or next to remove a few hundred people. that's a drop in the ocean . the ocean. >> okay, well, lee, welcome to the show. now, is david cameron right? that leaving the echr wouldn't help solve the small boats crisis. he also really kind of blamed our migrant crisis on brexit, didn't he? >> i don't think that's really he shouldn't be saying that, to be honest with you, patrick. actually, you know, the fault of this problem we've got at the moment, the migrant crisis is that we've got a weak government that's not prepared to do the right thing . and the right thing right thing. and the right thing is, is turn backs in the english channel. we know that works. other countries have done it. it's succeeded in the past. and to be really brave when these illegal migrants let's get it right, patrick. they are illegal migrants. they're not genuine asylum seekers. once they get to this country, stick them on a boat and send them straight back to france. it needs political will. it needs a courageous government to do this. and we can do it. >> is he right then, though,

that we don't need to leave the echr? >> i don't think we do. i mean, i would sooner leave the echr just ignore it. take these people back. these people are breaking into our country and we're seeing the awful news yesterday. patrick. five people dying, people rushing these, these dinghies on the french beaches, jumping on and creating my own people, you know, being thrown into the sea, little children dying. it's disgusting. and actually parliament, where i work has got blood on its hands. this should be stopped. >> what have you made of david cameron? you know, when you were in the tories. he's a. >> to be fair. i mean, he's only elected. i mean , me and several elected. i mean, me and several colleagues and probably most of ashfield weren't very happy that a bloke just turns up and gets a lordship and becomes foreign secretary. every other mp in that place, you know, regardless of what part you're in, patrick has had to fight to be elected. i've had to fight for votes. i've had to fight for votes. i've had to campaign. i've had to knock on doors. iraq's hope is, you know, is given a place in the house of lords, become foreign secretary, not

accountable . we can't question accountable. we can't question him in the house of commons. we have to do it through other ministers, but he was blaming brexit because what is the thing? because he was saying he was saying that, you know, when we were in the european union, we were in the european union, we could have had this returns agreement with france and now we don't, don't have it. what do you make of that? >> well, if he's blaming brexit then he needs to have a look at himself in the mirror because it was him in his reminded. it was him that gave us the referendum that ultimately left for us to, to leave the european union. so if he's going to blame anybody, blame himself. but i don't i don't swallow that at all. again, patrick, i go back, you know, it's political will. you know, it's political will. you know, if we'd had some of the leaders in charge of this country like we've had in the past, like a churchill or a maggie in charge, this nonsense would not be happening. >> okay . all right, now i'm just >> okay. all right, now i'm just going to shift it on a bit because there's sort of a story this morning, i thought you'd be quite good to get your take on this. so rishi sunak is urging big businesses to employ prison leavers to solve britain's labour shortage, with free courses on a range of skills including forklift truck driving, gardening and furniture

painting. now look, lee, is this a clever solution to rehabilitation or actually, frankly, a disaster waiting to happen ? happen? >> well, i've always said that i always believe in giving people second chances. patrick, i think there's a lot of people in prison that need a second chance. obviously, there's some that you can give them two, three, four chances and they will recommit offences. but we have in this country probably about 90,000 people in prison at the moment. and i know for a fact we all know that we've got probably 80 odd thousand vacancies in, you know, picking fruit, picking vegetables in agriculture sector. that for me has always been a simple solution . i've said it in the solution. i've said it in the past, but look, we have prisoners coming out of prison now. they've got nowhere to live, they've got no job, they've got no skills. the chances of them are reoffending are pretty high. i say give them are pretty high. i say give them a chance, learn them a trade, get them that , get them into get them that, get them into that habit of getting up in the morning, going to work and being respectful and learning those life skills and those work skills. they need to get back into the employment market. give them a chance. >> yeah, look, i'm all for that. i am all for that. my concern would be a situation where a

hard working school leaver who's done nothing wrong in their life, finds themselves in a situation where they're being bumped down a queue because someone who's just left prison, you know, a prolific shoplifter or whatever, he's been trained to drive a forklift truck for free instead of them. we can't have that. >> no, i understand that argument, patrick. but then again, you know, to keep a prisoner in prison is probably a thousand £2,000 a week to keep these people in prison . it's these people in prison. it's much cheaper and it's better for the country if we can get these people. some of them had a bad start in life. we know that i've worked with some of these people in the past. give them a chance, give them a chance to work and contribute towards our society. if they can't, if they're going to be complete nuisances and re—offend, then get them back inside and lock them up as far as i'm concerned. >> all right. now you mark saint george's day yesterday in your own unique style. just a little reminder to people. i'm. i'm going to be, getting stuck right in, actually, to what i thought was absolutely disgraceful scenes , yesterday, really scenes, yesterday, really disgraceful scenes from our police who, although they might

deny this, i thought seemed incredibly ready to want to really, really go on the offensive against just patriotic englishmen and women. but lee, like i was saying, you had your own unique style when you were marking saint george's day. you have a little look on, please. >> there. look. flag of saint george. it's saint george's day to day, and this country of ours has been a gift to the world. look at the industrial revolution . culture, arts, revolution. culture, arts, music, sports . everywhere you music, sports. everywhere you look on this planet, you see some of that . some of that. >> so not everyone was feeling as patriotic as you . it's fair as patriotic as you. it's fair to say one, one twitter user said here we go. classic was this saint george was born in cappadocia, turkey, the 27th biggest producer of avocados. he's also the patron saint of catalunya, which celebrates ladeira de sant jordi today and of other nations. if he arrived in the uk. this is the classic line. if he arrived in the uk shores, right wingers like you

would deport him to rwanda, well, i mean, look, it'd take a bit more than that to dampen your patriotism. what do you make of these people who are so ready to just, well, urinate on your chips? >> well, i mean, these people, i mean, it's completely wrong. whoever this person is about being deported to rwanda, they'd probably get put in saint george would probably get put him in a four star hotel. he'd probably put a dodgy asylum claim in, go to the local church and claim is a christian, get baptised and then do whatever he wants to do. but this is nonsense. you know, whenever i put something on social media, patrick, that is seen as patriotic, you get these lunatics, these nutters coming out, just dissing our country. and i, quite frankly, i've always said it. if you're not happy with our history, our heritage, our culture, our way of life and things like saint george's day, then clear off and go and live in another country. >> what did you make of some of the police response? we're going to talk about this a little bit later on. it's been a big issue. what do you make of some of the police response? >> well, it's funny you should say that, patrick, because where my office is in, in in

parliament, it's literally 50 yards away from, from downing street. and i've been there for the past four years. i've seen the past four years. i've seen the blm riots, which was scary. i've seen the pro—palestinian marches , the hamas supporters up marches, the hamas supporters up and down whitehall on an almost weekly basis. and yesterday i saw the saint george rally there, and it's the first time i've ever seen the police get stuck in. and all the other times when we've had some really scary scenes, when, as mps , scary scenes, when, as mps, we've been scared to go out, they've done nothing. i wasn't scared to go out yesterday it was 150 lads with saint george's cross a bit, a bit boisterous lad, but they weren't causing trouble from what i could see. >> yeah, i mean no, i've got some quite damning clips actually. ready to play you shortly anyway, which just compares and contrasts the difference in police reaction to the kind of things that lee was just talking about there and the kind of reaction that we saw yesterday. i get your views coming in, though, of course, lee, look, thank you very, very much. yeah. like i was saying, so was the heavy handed police response to saint george's day

crowds yesterday another sinister example of two tier policing? to be honest , sinister example of two tier policing? to be honest, i actually wonder if it went a bit further than that. you know, is it now becoming illegal to be a white english patriot in this country? i give my take at ten. but next, allegations of bullying made against meghan markle are bubbling to the surface. once again. but could former staffers be ready to expose all? is the dam about to burst? the bbc's former royal correspondent michael cole reveals all

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. still to come . after tonight. still to come. after police fought with saint george's day crowds in the heart of the capital yesterday. why aren't they so heavy handed with pro—palestine protesters? i'll give you my take at ten. but first, we welcome former royal correspondent for the bbc, michael cole, for the royal dispatch. so bullying rumours

are swirling around about meghan markle wants a game with esteemed royal biographer tom bower claiming that the dam of silence has finally broken. there's a trickle predicted to soon become a stream. rumours of meghan bullying aides at the palace first broke back in 2020 after the sussexes former communications secretary jason knauf, raised a complaint. fast forward a few years time and meghan's former senior royal officer samantha cohen has now revealed to an australian news outlet that she was one of the staff interviewed in the subsequent bullying investigation by the palace. well, the investigation was triggered by several resignations from meghan's team, with one staffer said they'd been left feeling sick after a tirade from the duchess. others says i feel terrified and i can't stop shaking. after tantrums from meghan over issues as significant as the wrong shade of red being chosen for gas blankets at a lavish shooting weekend. this is all according to reports, of course,

bower believes that now one of the staffers involved in the bullying investigation has spoken out. plenty more will soon follow. michael, welcome to the show. look, is the dam about to break, do you think, on meghan markle's bullying allegations are actually if she's done nothing wrong? >> good evening . patrick, in >> good evening. patrick, in buckingham palace. patrick there is a big safe. and inside that safe is the equivalent of an unexploded bomb that is the report that was drafted by the lawyer who was asked by buckingham palace to look into these allegations of bullying, which apparently allegedly took place after meghan markle joined the royal family in 2017. now, the royal family in 2017. now, the lawyer, spoke to ten witnesses and i'm sure guided by employment law and codes of conduct for the civil service, he drafted his report and he presented it and it went in the

safe and i'm sure that the key to that safe is in the pocket of the king's private secretary. and what has happened is nothing. the ten witnesses who gave their time and gave their testimony do not know what the contents of that report is, let alone the rest of us. and it hasn't been made public. so one hasn't been made public. so one has to ask why it hasn't been made public. and perhaps that is a decision that the king will take in due course. but obviously he has to balance it. what is going to be the effect depending upon the content of that report ? now, as you just so that report? now, as you just so rightly said , witnesses, some of rightly said, witnesses, some of them said that they were shaking with fear that they were in tears. they felt physically sick. and it is worth noting , sick. and it is worth noting, saying that, since we've been taking an interest in meghan markle 17, i repeat, the number 17 close members of staff have

left the employ of the duke and duchess of sussex . duchess of sussex. >> i mean, it's a lot, isn't it? i mean, it is. it is a lot. and obviously this could be for a variety of different reasons. you know, they do a lot of different projects that might have all been, you know, just short termism and people using them for a leg up, whatever. it could be a variety of different things, but i think it does raise some serious questions, doesn't it? and once one person comes forward, others can. and the thing that normally does for people is hypocrisy. and if meghan markle is on record, which i believe she is saying that she felt hurt and bullied, etc, then that kind of stuff tends to come back to bite you, doesn't it? >> do you know what i think it is? it's a cultural difference in this country. we tend to say if we're talking to the waiter or someone serving us in the shop, may i have, could i possibly have something in america? they say , can i get can america? they say, can i get can i get a cheeseburger ? it's so i get a cheeseburger? it's so very different. and that is

absolutely accentuated in hollywood, where people are given orders, particularly even if you're the sixth person on the call sheet for a show called suits , you order people around. suits, you order people around. it's peremptory . and of course, it's peremptory. and of course, if you've got blue eyes, do you have the right shade of blue eyes? because if you don't, you're out on your ear. there's no none of the civility, none of the politeness, none of the things that we take for granted in this country or certainly used to. so i think it is a cultural difference, perhaps , cultural difference, perhaps, because when you have to struggle to the top in hollywood, you can bet your life you've had to tread on a few fingers on the way there. and that has been accentuated by, i think, a lack of understanding. that said, certainly you mentioned samantha cohen was called , samantha the panther for called, samantha the panther for her straightforward ways when she was working for 20 years and very closely with the queen, she apparently said or raised the

question of whether meghan ever intended to be a member of the royal family. but her sights were already set on california and going back to where she felt most comfortable . one thing most comfortable. one thing that, has been quoted, is that meghan said that it is not my job to coddle these people. well, you can coddle eggs and you can throw people. so we don't know . but what i think it don't know. but what i think it would be very, very interesting to see what is in that book. now, the king has got to make a judgement. if this judgement is very negative , and let it be very negative, and let it be said that duke and duchess of sussex have strenuously denied that she was ever a bully . yeah, that she was ever a bully. yeah, yeah, but if this lawyer who wrote the report and interviewed ten people, if he decides otherwise, and if it is damning or highly critical, then what would the reaction of the sussexes in california be? would there be more bile? would there be more accusations? would there be more accusations? would there be more accusations? would there be more unpleasantness? so it's

a difficult situation. the answers are all inside that safe. and the key, as i say , is safe. and the key, as i say, is in the pocket of the king's private secretary. well watch this space. >> watch this safe, michael. thank you very, very much. that is the wonderful michael cole there. all the best. take it easy now. coming up as military horses escape wreaking havoc across london. is it animal cruelty to use horses in the military in 2024? animal risings co—founder dan kirby goes up against lieutenant colonel stuart crawford . we're debating stuart crawford. we're debating that one. but next, after riot cops clashed with saint george's day crowds in central london yesterday is this another example of blatant two tier policing? i'm actually going one step further than that. i'm asking whether or not it is becoming illegal to be white, patriotic and english in england. i have my say and that's next. this is patrick christys. tonight we are only on gb news and now it's your weather with alex deakin .

weather with alex deakin. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hi there and welcome to the gb news forecast from the met office. it's going to be chilly overnight through the next 24 hours. however, increasing cloud will bring further showers by the end of thursday . we've got the end of thursday. we've got higher pressure ebbing away towards the west and this increased influence from low pressure to the east in between some clear spells overnight and a chilly northerly airflow. that means temperatures will fall quickly under any clear spells in rural sheltered spots. temperatures will dip below freezing, generally in urban areas 4 to 6 celsius, and there'll be variable amounts of cloud first thing as well. there'll also be increasing amounts of showery rain moving through northern ireland. parts of wales, northern and central england, as well as the north east of scotland. the showery rain will become more widespread

so they tweeted this . a number so they tweeted this. a number of people have been seen in the area wearing masks . a section 60 area wearing masks. a section 60 aa order giving officers the power to require the removal of face coverings is now in force . face coverings is now in force. what? you mean face coverings like these do you? that's interesting. that guy there as well who seemed free to wear a mask while brandishing what looks a lot like the al—qaeda flag . yeah, there we go. there's flag. yeah, there we go. there's people there covering their faces as well. no, no dispersal order there is there? that's interesting. okay. all right. well, there were these scenes of people in a pub chanting things like , i'm england till i die. like, i'm england till i die. and, you know, the old ten german bombers in the air song . german bombers in the air song. braverman ashlee good bucha . braverman ashlee good bucha. >> mbappe aurora borealis . >> mbappe aurora borealis. >> mbappe aurora borealis. >> here's how the police responded . trouble in the state.

responded. trouble in the state. >> trouble in the pub . bibby >> trouble in the pub. bibby stockholm. sunny virk. really? >> some people may find those chants unsavoury. all right. but may i remind everybody that this was allowed a genocidal slogan on big ben? from the river to the sea can be heard every other saturday, right across the capital city. and probably in a town or city near you as well. chants in support of the houthi rebels. and of course, this stuff about actual jihad are sabina nessa . sabina nessa. >> neil kinnock. >> neil kinnock. >> well, there's a marked difference, isn't there, in how heavy handed the police are when

it comes to people waving the flag of saint george as opposed to the now incredibly fashionable palestinian flag? there we go . there we go. >> wow, children. >> wow, children. >> all right, so you got to look at that. now, i've looked at this. not a police officer in sight . there, was there really? sight. there, was there really? seriously? could you see one? i couldn't see one. but when you can't see the police officers, what do they actually do? look at this. place for fact, i

cannot believe. >> don't do that. >> don't do that. >> you guys are taking this well. >> not a huge amount. that's the right kind of protest . we're not right kind of protest. we're not going to get involved in that kind of protest. oh, the other one wasn't even a protest, by the way. it's a celebration now. before the usual types start up at me. yes, i know there may be not everyone at the gathering for saint george's day was a saint themselves. i know, like in any crowd , there might be in any crowd, there might be a few unsavoury characters. fine. but look, when you compare this. to this ? yeah, it's right up. to this? yeah, it's right up. >> often i wrote unbelievable . >> often i wrote unbelievable. >> often i wrote unbelievable. >> why is it that our police force in england decided to take

batons and horses to ones waving the england flag, and not those who, in my view, all too often hate this country and everything we for . stand let's get the we for. stand let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks and author and journalist rebecca reid . and journalist rebecca reid. mark, i'll start with you. the police . they're taking, in my police. they're taking, in my view, in my view, an unforgivable approach to people just out celebrating saint george's day . george's day. >> it's a pretty staggering selection of clips that you've got there. patrick and i was trying to look through look , i trying to look through look, i wasn't at the coalface at any of these events, but i was trying to look through on the news reports about what was done wrong. the crowd sang england til i die joined in with songs including sweet caroline and take me home, country roads, something i'm guilty of myself many times over recent years, i've heard you do it. the only thing that i can find, which i

found a bit weird, was laurence fox said he was afraid to walk the streets of the capital city because the met police is run by the most corrupt dictator the world has ever seen . i'm no fan world has ever seen. i'm no fan of sadiq khan, but that might be an overstatement. here's the problem though, right? it's not just whether justice is problem though, right? it's not just whetherjustice is being just whether justice is being done or policing is being done, it's whether it's seen to be fair. yeah. and if there is any suggestion , and i think you have suggestion, and i think you have raised a very fair suggestion with those clips that policing is different. one type of the community for the other, we saw the gideon falter case with somebody who was openly jewish being treated apparently differently . once that happens, differently. once that happens, faith in policing breaks down, even if they're going to say an awful lot happened that you don't know about. but if the perception breaks down, i'm afraid faith in the police force breaks down. that's a disaster. >> i think it appears to me out of anyway, at the moment we have a police force in our capital city who sees quite often blokes with bald heads draped in this flag of saint george as a

threat. but people carrying the al—qaeda flag as people who can just crack on with their lives. >> i'll tell you what is. it's political policing. this is two tier policing . so for me, the tier policing. so for me, the you can't always blame these officers. this comes from the top. we've got a woke police commissioner. we've got sadiq khan , who's the worst mayor we khan, who's the worst mayor we could have at this time at the end of the day, i believe the met hierarchy , give the orders met hierarchy, give the orders to allow certain things because they are scared of the backlash . they are scared of the backlash. if they are seen to be batting in pro—palestinian , protesters in pro—palestinian, protesters or blm protesters , they're or blm protesters, they're scared that they're going to be labelled. we see this with the rotherham grooming gangs. police were told from downing street to ignore certain things in case it inflamed social tensions, in case they were labelled as racist. this is what is happening with the met police. they are scared to do their job

and actually enact the law and thatis and actually enact the law and that is scary times. >> why was there even a problem about so this is this is this is early doors. this this is before things were, you know, the police presence there kettling people for in what, you know, other protesters seemingly allowed to go wherever they go. that's not a protest, actually. sorry. even it's not even a protest. so what am i talking about? it's a celebration of saint george's day, right? so, yeah, it's just people out there having a few pints. granted, probably . but why are the police probably. but why are the police getting the horses are coming in? what for? >> i think the argument that it's two tier policing falls down when you look at the treatment of the women at the sarah everard vigil, there is a real problem with the way that police deal with events in this country, whether they are demonstrations or or vigils or celebrations. i am not a fan of the police and i think that they are badly trained and badly equipped to handle this situation. there are some men scrapping in that, and i they're not. i doubt they got the permits and permissions they perhaps needed, but those men are clearly not terrorists. they're clearly not here to try and hurt anybody. and the police

are, i think are lots of lots of times drunk on their own power. and they enjoy breaking up things so that they can. >> but but but not when it not when it comes. >> so let's just remember lots of other left wing causes have been and the openly jewish thing is the same thing. >> they are consistently bad at this . and that's not political. this. and that's not political. they're just bad at it. >> let's just remember we're not not anti—police here. i don't know, i am anti—police. well, you're anti—police . so at the you're anti—police. so at the end of the day, if someone breaks into your home, who do you call ? you call? >> they will do nothing. >> they will do nothing. >> no. if there was an intruder in your house, who do you call? >> oh, if i call somebody right now, you call the police. i honestly, i don't know if i would because they want to live harm. >> if we want to live in a civilised society, we need a police force that does its job and it doesn't do its job. and they have to do their job fairly. they're not doing that in london at the moment. >> across the country, the idea that you would, you would have people literally chanting, i mean, all sorts of obscene filth on a, you know, every other given saturday in london genocidal stuff, anti—semitic stuff. and you would conceivably

storm a pub because of ten german bombers in the air. yeah. i think come on. >> no, that's right. and i'm often adam and i agree on most things. i sometimes find you a little overstated , adam. but on little overstated, adam. but on this occasion, you've been understated to me. you have been understated. the problem is worse than you are suggesting, because i don't think it is a clear order coming from on high. i think it's a nudge and a wink and a suggestion. you don't think mark rowley is woke? >> i mean, he's he's a real old school . no pride. he tried to school. no pride. he tried to ban pride badges. he tried to ban pride badges. he tried to ban anything other than the bobby overall culture. >> he's weak . >> he's weak. >> he's weak. >> it's not. >> it's not. >> it's not. >> i think he's bad at his job, but he's not. >> right on in my view. it's not that an order has gone down to say, smash up the saint george's marches, but let the pro—palestinian marches happen. there won't be a piece of paper or a memo that said that it's worse, it's more insidious. it's a nudge and a wink. and are you going to get on and what's the right thing to do and what will it look like? and we've actually

just got to get back, actually back to the memos and the orders and the clear rules and procedures, because i've been looking through this and i can't distinguish by one was policing. >> let's remember , a lot of the >> let's remember, a lot of the mainstream media won't report it. but yesterday , tommy it. but yesterday, tommy robinson was cleared in court. in his case against the met police, the met police unlawfully banned him from london. from london, he was pepper sprayed . now has the pepper sprayed. now has the hierarchy then flex their muscles knowing that he's going to be in london and his friends are going to be in london, and supporters are maybe going to be in london and thought , oh, we're in london and thought, oh, we're going to send the message back. >> they weren't so strong when there were people who are members of a now banned terror group, hizb ut—tahrir. at the end of the day, that's the point. >> if someone says they want jihad on the streets of this, of this city, i want that person pred this city, i want that person ripped off forcefully and stuck in a van. but that doesn't happen. >> they were all right to say that. >> they were all right to say that . and the police issued a that. and the police issued a thing to say. i was context we needed. there was this context around the word jihad. jihad

does mean struggle. >> technically, it translates as struggle. >> come off it. you're not that naive that they're singing that for struggle. >> they're not. yes, i agree with that. they're not just saying i'm not there. >> i didn't hear it. i don't like to speculate about things that i haven't seen, but it does look like these are being treated differently and that is a problem. >> but they're not a problem. >> but they're not a problem. >> even if it looks like look at the eid celebrations. some of them were over policed. the sarah everard vigil was over. the police are just bad at their job. >> different places, riots at the end of eid. so how do you want to remember? >> overall question. women were being sat on by police officers and choked. >> how do you answer a similar point though? isn't it because they're still not members? there's not members of the pro—palestine, dare i say it, british muslim community. and there is a difference there in there is a difference there in the police response. and i think that's worth highlighting. and they're not in riot gear. >> then at the end of the day, i believe they dress up in riot gear for the sarah everard everard vigil. >> we've got a wrap. we've got to wrap people. but thank you, thank you, thank you. coming up, we reveal the trans supply teacher explaining gender identity to seven year olds in tonight's press pack. and another absolute corker, by the

way. it's it is, believe it or not, drag queens for palestine time. but next after household cavalry horses escaped today causing chaos across london is the use of horses by the military. actually animal cruelty . co—founder of military. actually animal cruelty. co—founder of animal rising, dan kirby goes up against lieutenant colonel stuart crawford. that's next. and it's on

this is patrick christys. tonight we're on gb news. coming

up, i will bring you the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. they are hot off the press with my top panel. but first. unbelievable scenes in the heart of london today as blood soaked horses. who has escaped from the household cavalry rampage through the streets . look . streets. look. well, after five horses broke free during a training exercise , they did training exercise, they did cause chaos. they smashed into vehicles and pedestrians and four people were being treated for injuries in hospital. but amazingly , two of the spooked amazingly, two of the spooked animals actually managed to get this right to gallop nearly six miles far into east london. i mean, seriously, it's quite the feat, actually . so all the feat, actually. so all the horses have since been recovered. thankfully they are receiving medical attention as well, but the incident has now raised questions about the safety and ethics of using animals in the military especially, i think it must be

said in very busy, built up areas like our capital city. i'm delighted now to welcome the co—founder of animal rising. he'd be and defence analyst lieutenant colonel stuart crawford . and both of you. thank crawford. and both of you. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. dan, i mean, i think i can guess your answer on this, but i mean , you know, do this, but i mean, you know, do you think that this is this is maybe the end of the line now for work? horses like this ? for work? horses like this? >> yeah. well, i mean, these have been on their way out for a long time now, really, haven't they?i long time now, really, haven't they? i mean, i think what i want to stress is that these were dramatic scenes that we saw seeing shocking scenes. and i'm sure many people sitting at home were highly distressed to see what was happening. but this is an out of the ordinary during william and kate's wedding, we saw horses breaking loose and bolting. we saw that happening. happening at the queen's funeral , a few years ago in hyde park, a horse got their leg caught in a horse got their leg caught in a gun carriage and broke their leg and then was killed by the military, so as much as this has been, you know, this has cut

through into the media today, we really want to stress this is this is common, common in this, unjust practice . unjust practice. >> okay? and obviously you'd ban it. i'm just going to ask you now, a lieutenant colonel stuart crawford. i mean, are these horses well looked after it was, i'll be honest with you, it was quite upsetting, really. i think today seeing, seeing, seeing those horses, you know, challenging the capital city obviously spooked one of them bleeding . bleeding. >> well, absolutely. i mean, i don't think anybody would be delighted to see, animals and distress , running about because distress, running about because obviously they've been spooked at. and it is i mean, it is quite shocking to see a white horse covered in blood running through the streets of our, of our capital city. i would just say that, and i and i do really, understand and i'm sympathetic with the arguments against the uses of horses, but they are purely for ceremonial purposes, and you only have to look at them, to realise how well looked

after they are in terms of how their house and trained and the veterinary services that they are provided for them. so i think that it's not quite a black and white issue, there are sort of, grey issues, if you like to to be, be dealt with here. but in the past, of course , horses have been a fundamental part of , the military part of, the military endeavours. and in the first world war, for example, britain alone , lost nearly 500,000 alone, lost nearly 500,000 horses killed in that conflict. but we must remember that we also lost nearly a million men in that conflict. so it's not quite cut and dried. >> okay. all right, dan, i mean, look, they are ceremonies . look, they are ceremonies. they've got a purpose and they are clearly, i would imagine , are clearly, i would imagine, for the most part, very, very well looked after. what would you do with them all. you know, they might not even have a life

if they if they weren't, weren't there for that purpose. >> yeah, well, i want to talk through, like, what it means to be a ceremonial horse, so these are, in unnatural environments for horses forced to do unnatural things. they have very rigid, highly controlled movements that these horses are forced to make. and how is it that that happens? well you have a rider sitting on their back holding reins, and those reins are attached to metal bits that go into their mouth and tongue very painfully, very severely at the horse's mouth, which forces them to then respond with the movements that the rider wants. so this is a very uncomfortable, painful, stressful experience for horses and you add into that the fact that they are surrounded by by onlookers, by people looking at what's happening. you know, horses are prey animals, like, small things that happen can spook them, can scare them. so you have the pain that they're experiencing, you know, the havoc off the streets andifs know, the havoc off the streets and it's clear that this just needs to stop happening .

needs to stop happening. >> all right, look, stuart, do you think dan's been a bit soft there? stuart. pathetic. >> i'm sympathetic to what he's saying, but, it's a two way street, the horses have been part of, of co—existed with human beings for, centuries, thousands of years . and that thousands of years. and that will continue. and they're not exploited in the same way as they used to be, but they are extremely well looked at. i mean, i come back to my point. you only have to look at the horses. sorry, the horses that the household cavalry, rides in london and elsewhere in ceremonials to see how well looked after they are . and so looked after they are. and so i think that, we have to be cognisant of the fact that to a certain extent they are being exploited. but they're also extremely well looked after. >> yeah. okay i mean, dan, look, they're not they're not showjumping, okay? they are not racing in the grand national. they're not actually being

fidden they're not actually being ridden into battle . all right. ridden into battle. all right. i mean, for as far as you can tell, you know, these horses are surely absolutely fine, aren't they?i surely absolutely fine, aren't they? i mean, what they might enjoy it a bit more. they might have more stimulation than if you just put them out to pasture. >> well, these horses spend most of their lives, in very small stables, standing still, even as part of the military practice. they have to stand still for very long periods of time. you know, we've seen these horses today. they've ran. they've ran like 5 or 6 miles. horses, the image that we have of horses, that that, you know, that we are told in our storybooks of horses running in open fields , and, you running in open fields, and, you know, instead we're met with images like this. it's like, i think what we really need to do is take this quite shocking, dramatic incident and use it as an opportunity to really re—evaluate our relationship with animals and see what is it, what is the way that we do want to coexist with them. >> yeah. all right. stuart, if their only purpose really is ceremonial, then what's the point? i mean it's a living ornament. then isn't it. >> well, well yes it is. it's

part of the british tradition. and, and many people would say and a good thing too , i think and a good thing too, i think the more interesting question might be in the light of what's happenedin might be in the light of what's happened in london recently, is the use of horses by the police force to enforce law and order. yeah. where i think there is a great utility in using them. and of course, famously up here in scotland, they have been used on numerous occasions for crowd control at football matches between, our two rival glasgow , between, our two rival glasgow, football teams. so i think they have utility. i think they're useful, but i do think they're well looked after. and within the context of the fact that they are being used by humans for a purpose, i think basically we've got it more or less. right. >> yeah. okay all right, guys, look, good stuff. thank you very, very much. great to have you both on the show. that was the co—founder of animal rising, dan kipe there and defence analyst lieutenant colonel stuart crawford. how can i be honest with you? i'm unusually. i'm unusually split on this issue. unusually split on it. i really didn't like looking at that today with the horses

running through the city, i thought, but then i think, well, you know, it's part of tradition , i suppose. and they do they do serve a practical purpose. they're not just living ornaments, as i was saying there. but anyway, look, coming up, coming up. what do you dare get in a flying car? well one now exists and we're going to show it to you. but next i will bnng show it to you. but next i will bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages, hot off the press with tonight's panel of top pundits. and yes, it's exists. it's drag queens for palestine. stay

okay. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight we are on gb news. and i've got the very first look at tomorrow's front pages. let's do it . all right, pages. let's do it. all right, then we go in with the metro . then we go in with the metro. labour nationalised rail in five years. end of the line for failing train firms. election promise to axe franchises. but industry warns political plan will raise costs. well, of

course they would say that. anyway. let's go to the independents. sabre rattling sunak eu must spend more on nato to fight putin. the prime minister has challenged his european allies to match his increase in defence spending to counter axis of authoritarian states. yeah, interesting. he really is. he really is trying to lead the way on that, isn't he, right. the sun jude's going dutch. hey. good lad. footie superstar's new romance reveal jude bellingham scoring on and off the pitch. anyone? anyone no. all right. fine. sorry. so sorry. sorry exclusive royal tragedy. okay, beatrice acts in drug death. now we go to the i revealed labour plan to nationalise uk railways. so they're both going off on the old uk railways. labour will immediately start process of bringing rail system back under pubuc bringing rail system back under public control. for the first time in 30 years. the guardian. yep, same one here. labour pledges to nationalise rail network within five years and the era of peace in europe is

oven the era of peace in europe is over. kyiv warns the west. yes. and there's obviously a lot of pictures about galloping horses, which we have just covered here. now. i am, of course, joined by my fabulous panel. i have got the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks and author and journalist robert reid. i'm going to whistle you a couple of those front pages and get straight into this, because you think that the cass report would scare the gender ideologues away from our children, but it appears they're still at it . a appears they're still at it. a trans supply teacher at a church of england school revealed their gender identity in front of seven year old pupils, telling them, i'm so gorgeous because i've put makeup on and had a shave , but it doesn't end there. shave, but it doesn't end there. it was also revealed that a children's charity in scotland called puberty blockers wonderful at rebecca. are our children at risk here? seven year old kids from, you know, trans ideologues ? trans ideologues? >> no, i don't think they're at risk. i think that comment is taken out of context, and i can see exactly how it might have been a more, appropriate comment if you heard the whole thing.

and the mum who reported it was very nuanced about it, she just said, look, i don't think this person's evil or bad. i'm just confused at why this person in a classroom, fair question to ask. but the thing is, should it be said? i think the problem is seven year olds ask questions. so seven year olds will say things like, why doesn't that man have any arms? why is that woman's face look like that? and then you have to answer that question. so if a child said to the teacher, are you a man or a woman, they could reasonably be expected to say, i am a trans woman. >> you're making up a scenario to excuse, but in that, in that scenario, what what's the teacher? at the end of the day, he's got a beard. he's not gorgeous. come on, dave, have you seen the man? is there somebody who has a beard? >> have you seen pictures of this person? well he's had he's had a shave. so then they probably don't have a beard. >> okay. >> okay. >> the quote, the quote is this, isn't it? i mean, i'm assuming you weren't there. >> you weren't so gorgeous because i've put makeup on and had a shave. >> now to my mind , patrick, >> now to my mind, patrick, actually, this isn't especially actually, this isn't especially a trans issue. it's just an issue of inappropriateness. exactly. whether this was a straight white woman saying, i'm so gorgeous because i've put on

makeup in front of kids, or a straight man saying, you know, i'm so gorgeous, girls, because i'm so gorgeous, girls, because i work out in the gym. it's just not appropriate for seven year old kids. so to my mind, it's not really the trans issue. it's the appropriateness. this is what troubles me a bit here. i've had a look at what the head teacher has sent. i must call the head teacher, not headmaster. rebecca keeps correcting me on that moving forward, says jen johnson. moving forward, people always want to bury things, always time to move on. >> it's important to move and having spoken to the supply agency for this, was indeed a supply teacher. >> we have reaffirmed the school's expectations for what we expect supply teachers to deliver. well, if i was a parent of a kid at this school, i'd like to know what that is. i'm not saying you should be hung, drawn and quartered for this, but it's inappropriate. my kids some discipline. >> one supply issue. disrupt your whole child's education. >> take my kid out of that school until so sad. until that teacher is removed from the class supply teacher, they're going to remove themselves. >> that's the nature of the job. >> that's the nature of the job. >> do you agree? >> do you agree? >> the headteacher should not be in that school. >> the head should. should tell

parents what they do expect from supply teachers and whether i don't think the disciplinary action here should be career ending. but i think there should be some. and from what i've heard from the school, it's just sort of moving forward. time to move on. >> well, they're pushing the responsibility back on stage. >> i just say, is it not arguably worse than right, that it's gone from just maybe being, you know, a permanent teacher at the school or whatever to essentially a stranger who has been allowed to wander into a school fully dbs checked with a degree in education, just just plant that thing in lotus 70 year olds minds and then leave a fully trained teacher with a degree in inappropriate a full clean dbe enhanced pretending to be a woman trying to influence seven year old kids. >> but legally, transgender people have every right to be teachers. what are you going to do, fire somebody for being trashed? >> for being trashed? this is the thing, and keep their mouth shut about the gender ideology. >> but children, classroom children, children are then say to the children, i would expect to the children, i would expect to say, you know, that's not appropriate for me to answer

that today. ask mummy and daddy. i think you could very reasonably say that that i'm gorgeous thing isn't fair. >> but you but it is perfectly reasonable for a teacher to say i am gay or i am trans not. and you should be too. or if you like barbies, you're trans. >> why would seven year olds be asking their teacher whether they're gay or straight? >> because children aren't. who do you live with? are you married? children ask questions, but they wouldn't do ask to ask a question about that. >> so i mean, look, it seems to be a sentence out of context. it wasn't in a class about what used to be called civics when i was at school. it wasn't an engush was at school. it wasn't an english class. it seems just to be a sentence at the beginning. i think they've got to clarify that. they've told this teacher that. they've told this teacher that they made an error, they made a misstep, and it mustn't happen again. i'm not quite as hardcore as adam on this. i wouldn't, but that hasn't yet happened. >> i wouldn't want him teaching my kids again. so the school must clarify whether he comes back in. all right, all right. >> well, would you let your child . you just wouldn't let child. you just wouldn't let your child be taught by a trans person? >> no, by a trans person that inappropriately puts , images or inappropriately puts, images or suggestions in my child's. >> okay. so if they're trans and they're not talking being trans,

that's fine. >> right. >> right. >> well, that's what he said basically. yeah. come on. >> no i'm asking are you listening to me or not? >> but if you'd be happy with the trans teacher, as long as they weren't using this kind of language, if they taught how they meant to teach. >> and don't put suggestions in my children's minds, then as long as it was just an english lesson right? >> great. >> great. >> fantastic. so trans people are welcome to. >> but this wasn't just all agree. i think we all agree trans people can be teachers. >> that's good. okay, right now, 75 year old music legend jean—michel jarre . me neither. jean—michel jarre. me neither. but maybe you do know that i don't know. became the world's first passenger riding this latest invention in slovakia. what do you get on this ? matthew what do you get on this? matthew laza . it was a. laza. it was a. >> strap. >> strap. >> okay, so this is klein visions . half plane hybrid. the

visions. half plane hybrid. the air car. it's the latest invention to turn the concept of flying cars into to a reality. the slovakian government revealed that they want flying taxis by 2030. i think i'll stick to aeroplanes. i've got to be honest with you. that to me, there doesn't seem to be a world of difference between that and plane. >> there is nothing that is, planes have wheels. you can drive a plane. >> planes do have wheels. i got on one last night and it had wheels. yeah. >> sorry. i'm calling. no >> sorry. i'm calling. no >> is it environmentally friendly? what is the emissions on that thing? i'm really worried for my kids future. >> it's a plane, adam. it's going to be the same as a plane, because. >> no, it's electric. it's got some electric greeny thing about it. oh. >> brilliant play. the un will be happy, but it's definitely a plane. >> yeah, i'm not having it. it's a plane. >> all right, well, there we go. look. coming up, coming up. the climax of tonight's show. yes. find out why benjamin butterworth features in our greatest britain and union jackass. but before that, we bnng jackass. but before that, we bring you more of tomorrow's front pages. as well as the boy who sounds just like a seagull.

stay tuned

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. it's time to give you even more of tomorrow's front pages. let's do it . i go front pages. let's do it. i go with the mirror. labour will nationalise rail in five years. okay, the daily mail schoolgirl stabs teacher in neck a year nine pupil held for the attempted murder over horrific flick. knife attack in playground at break. got the telegraph. starmer refuses to match the pm's defence budget. we've spoken about that already tonight . an interesting one. tonight. an interesting one. this child drinkers rise in generation lockdown. the number of children in england consuming alcohol has risen hugely. generation lockdown to reach record levels, international research shows. so we can have child alcoholism to the list of damages to lockdown now. sophie, well well done sending us all

skin and those all getting their mates to buy them from supermarkets. >> no, there's nothing wrong with a little glass of wine with dinner when you're a child, it's fine. >> teaches you to appreciate after the daily express, horror in the playground as teacher stabbed. >> yeah. the teacher was slashed across the neck. this is all allegedly and reportedly, of course, as she bravely tried to stop an alleged knife attack on a pupil. i would expect you're going to be hearing a heck of a lot more about that story on gb news tomorrow. let's go to the times. england worst in world for underage drinking. there we go. so this is hit two front pages, third of 11 year olds have had alcohol. a study says that middle class is normalised. harmful habits . that middle class is normalised. harmful habits. i didn't really know. i appreciate the irony of me saying this, by the way, but i don't know how uncommon it is for an 11 year old to have a sip. you know, the parents to have given him a sip of wine. yeah i started drinking when i was about 11. >> yeah, i was too. >> no, no, i lived above i lived above pubs when i was about 13. >> i lived above pubs. i used to sneak down and try it. try the been >> as long as it's in moderation, it's a problem.

>> i think that's the. that's that's the question though, isn't it? whether or not lockdown has had some more of an effect on this. right. okay. look, i'm joined as you are. i've already introduced him. you know, i've just seen him. there you go, my wonderful press pack. but now it's not just gender ideology being rammed down the throats of our children. are you ready for this? a drag queen decides to introduce middle east conflict into the mix. >> watch today what we're going to do is we're gonna shout free palestine! can i hear that? three mark steyn. if you're a drag queen and you know it shall free palestine . if you're a drag free palestine. if you're a drag queen and you know it and you really want to show it, you're a drag queen and you know it. shout free. excellent >> is it excellent? >> is it excellent? >> let's put him in gaza and see how long he survives, what even is it ? is it? >> that is a man dressed as a woman. woman. >> woman. >> no, but what is? >> no, but what is? >> it's a fella called. >> it's a fella called. >> about what? >> about what? >> well, well, so? so? so we have. >> well, well, so? so? so we have . so we have drag queen have. so we have drag queen story time. so i take my children on occasionally. well,

that's ridiculous, have you ever taken your kids to the pantomime, drag queen story hour is not pantomime. >> that is a man in a dress. just like in a pantomime. the same thing palestine. >> so free palestine. >> so free palestine. >> basically, if you get people who are worthy enough, they like to double up. so then we can't just hook up to story time. we have to also have a queen and a bit of ultra. so look, this is very this is very this is very lefty american performative parenting . but you know what? parenting. but you know what? when you have a kid and you're lonely in your board, you need somewhere to take your child. and for that it was advertised as being this. they all knew what they were getting into. nobody was forced to go to each their own. >> i get, yeah, indoctrinating kids again. >> what i like my drag queens. apolitical. >> no one is going on in the world. that is no one bizarre. >> just no one there. including that particular drag queen. not appreciate the irony of drag queens for palestine. >> yeah, the queens for palestine. go to gaza. >> you'll be on the 10th floor of a building in no time, flying towards the pavement , of a building in no time, flying towards the pavement, won't you? >> yeah. fair enough. i think the argument would be that

people are able to. >> virtue signalling. yeah it's virtue signalling. i said virtue signalling. >> virtual signalling. >> virtual signalling. >> you're not listening to me again. >> it's. do you not think, i don't know, a bit ridiculous? >> mark, i'm absolutely astonished . i can't i'm not a astonished. i can't i'm not a parent, but i cannot get my head around why anyone would think what you know. i've got to drop the kids off. want to, you know, stay with them, and, you know, i'm surprised you have to stay with it is drag queen, ultra lefty pro—palestine because it's fun. >> well, the drag queen bit is that it's fun. it's the same as pantomime. i don't like it when they're in skimpy clothing, but that's what it's pretty odd. it's fun. they sing songs. >> i think the drag queens get more out of this than the kids, and they're saying, my worry. >> all right, so, now different story also involving kids. so nine year old cooper wallace from chesterfield travelled all the way to belgium to partake in a competition to do this three, two, one. so that was young
