Yesterday, the mail on sunday claims to have fresh evidence that the labour deputy leader did not correctly outline her tax arrangements. Outline her tax arrangements.

Im joined in the studio by former labour mp stephen pound. Stephen, thanks coming to stephen, thanks for coming to studio. My pleasure. I just recovered from seeing that picture of french guard that picture of the french guard republican into republican marching into buckingham republican marching into bucl ingham republican marching into bucl inghan dear oh lord, republican marching into bucl inghandear oh lord, what i mean, dear oh lord, what were we fighting for . The french have actually done something good. Ill come to that a bit. Lets get that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back miss rayner now, do you that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back thatiss rayner now, do you that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back that this ayner now, do you that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back that this would row, do you that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back that this would haveio you that in a bit. Okay. Lets get back that this would have gone| think that this would have gone away a long time ago if shed just said, you know what, it was a chaotic period of my life. We all have chaotic lives. I made all have chaotic lives. I made a mistake. Heres the tax bill instead. Is the cover up or whatever is the conversation around it making it worse . Well, this is i mean, Alastair Campbells rule, if you remember, was if its still news after nine days, youre in trouble. I think the problem with and i think the problem with this the are in this is the tories are in a fairly dire place at the moment, so on anything to so theyll seize on anything to have pop, think, defend have a pop, i think, to defend angela saying that, Angela Rayner by saying that, you because shes you know, its because shes a northern i think thats northern lass. I think thats a fairly reality is she at the reality is she was at that particular was that particular time she was moving present moving in with her present husband, got two kids. It husband, got the two kids. It was time, but as was a complicated time, but as far i can if simply far as i can see, if she simply says, here evidence of says, here is the evidence of the advice i was given. The advice i given was wrong. Hands up £1,500. Here you are. If the advice i was given was correct, then lets forget about it and move on. But at the moment, the more we talk about it, know, kind of it, the more you know, kind of defensiveness there is then the deeper and, you know, deeper were in and, you know, she maintains her innocence, that shes done nothing wrong. That shes done nothing wrong. Is this also, though, stephen, of double stephen, a question of double standards has been standards because she has been in the in the past, very quick to you a mistake, to say if you make a mistake, you should resign, particularly around now around Boris Johnson. And now shes of put out there shes been kind of put out there in spotlight its in the spotlight herself. Its almost rules apply. Well, im not entirely sure that a read across that theres a read across between johnson got between what Boris Johnson got up what Angela Rayner up to and what Angela Rayner is accused think thats accused of doing. I think thats accused of doing. I think thats a fairly degrees of a fairly different degrees of importance a fairly different degrees of importathe accountability and but the accountability and taking no account for your actions. Precisely so, which is why i think firstly, it think two things. Firstly, if it was that, you know, was deliberate that, you know, she was somehow trying to fiddle £1,500, then i think im amazed that shes actually gone down this route. And i just dont think, know, denies think, you know, she denies doing, which. Doing, of course, which. Yeah, absolutely. Simply absolutely. And i just simply dont happening. Dont see that happening. If it is, that was given is, you know, that she was given wrong wrong wrong information and wrong advice it. You advice, then lets see it. You know, move on from know, lets just move on from that. The moment its not that. But at the moment its not necessarily tempest necessarily a tempest in a teapot a but what it teapot or a teacup, but what it is, its just something that the tories are desperately trying to grab anything. And theyll grab on to anything. And theyll take of course they will. Take this. Of course they will. And the fact that and i think that the fact that in past, and, you in the past, angela, and, you know, generally, weve know, the party generally, weve been fairly when been fairly, fairly robust when it outing it comes to actually outing people does rather people for their does rather bounce back at us. Do you think it will come back bite the party on back to bite the labour party on the behind, there such the behind, or is there such momentum now behind change in the country . Will just kind the country . It will just kind of blow away until the election. Martin, honestly dont martin, i honestly dont believe that theres parliamentary seats up and down the going to flip the land which are going to flip back tories because of back to the tories because of this. Simply going this. There simply aint going to spent of to happen. Yeah, i spent most of my time on the doorstep. My time out on the doorstep. I mean, you know, the insists mean, you know, the wife insists i out house and do it, i get out the house and do it, but dont detect any of but and i dont detect any of this. The people this. I mean, most of the people im this actually still im saying this actually still see is see angela for what she is absolutely authentic, genuine person. Shes not a tax accountant, you know, shes not accountant, you know, shes not a shes a financial adviser. Shes a simple working woman whos simple a working woman whos buying a house, and shes moving simple a working woman whos buwith a house, and shes moving simple a working woman whos buwith her use, and shes moving simple a working woman whos buwith her presentd shes moving simple a working woman whos buwith her present husband.

Pension rises today by 8. 5. And thats an extra £900 a year for some as the governments triple lock commitment kicks in. But heres the catch. This comes as an estimated 2 million pensioners are dragged into paying pensioners are dragged into paying more income tax due to the governments stealth tax freeze. So our pensioners really better off. Well, we know a man who will know the answer because here to break it down, its gb news economics editor Liam Halligan money. Halligan with on the money. Maam, always a joy to have you on on this happy monday. So pensioners are they really any better off or is that dread of fiscal drag going to punish them . Quite a lot going on here today . Martin its the start of the new fiscal year, the new tax year as we say, and so the basic state pension is going up. And its worth saying that the triple lock is in place and is holding. So what does that mean in terms of the actual numbers. Lets have a quick look here. And on the money it and on the money graphic it wouldnt same without wouldnt be the same without one. Some information one. So here is some information about pension. About the basic state pension. The triple apply. The the triple lock does apply. The triple the tory slash triple lock was the tory slash Lib Dem Coalition policy that came in between 2010 and 2015. It says that the basic state pension goes up each year by the increase in earnings across the economy. On average, the increase in prices , or 2. 5, increase in prices, or 2. 5, whichever is higher. This year, we have an 8. 5 increase in the bafic we have an 8. 5 increase in the basic state pension from today, because thats how much earnings went up. Thats on top of last years 10. 1 went up. Thats on top of last years10. 1 increase. Okay. Im sorry, Liam Halligan, we have to interrupt and cross now to sentencing.

She then very movingly talks about codys little brother , who not only little brother, who not only lost his brother, but part of lost his brother, but a part of his mum. She said no remorse was shown in court and she believes this sentence will not stop. Knives justice will never be done, she said. She asked for harsher sentencing. She called people who carried knives weak, pathetic, cowards, somebody else in there. I believe that was father. He used used some language which id like to apologise for if that offended you. But clearly very, very you. But clearly hes very, very moved he said, moved and emotional. He said, dont knife. Live to dont carry a knife. Live to fight again another day. But dont be scared to live life. And then he said , this has and then he said, this has killed me. And they turned away and they left very, very emotional response there.

From even standing at the next general election. But now, to a shock poll into attitudes among british muslims and less than a quarter believe hamas committed murder and rape in israel on october the 7th, and here are the Main Findings of a survey of 1000 people. And the headline figure is that just 24 of people think hamas carried out those despicable acts. Six months ago. Today is the anniversary. 46 of those the anniversary. 46 of those polled feel sympathy towards hamas, and 52 want to make it illegal to show a picture of the prophet mohammed. Of course, thats what drove the Batley Grammar School teacher into hiding over three years ago. And now by doctor taj now im joined by doctor taj hodge, whos the founder of the Oxford Institute for british islam. Welcome to the show. Thanks for joining islam. Welcome to the show. Thanks forjoining us, doctor hodge. What do these what do these findings say to you . It seemed to indicate a british Muslim Population with views that are simply out of touch, completely with those of the rest of the British Public . Yeah, that is a very dreadful news, not not only is it distressing and disturbing, but its also very dangerous. And the point here is that, you know , this poll, if you take you know, this poll, if you take it to be accurate , its a, its it to be accurate, its a, its been done by, it has consulted british muslims , mostly born in british muslims, mostly born in this country. Now, if they are born in this country , educated in this country, educated in this country, educated in this country, how could have country, how could they have such view now . Such a view now . Doesnt matter on which side of aisle you on. Come. Of the aisle you come on. Come. Regarding, the israel palestine question, the point here is when innocent civilians are killed from either side , isnt it right from either side, isnt it right that one should condemn and denounce this . This is the issue. This is the issue. And i think this is, this is a wake up call for muslims. But remember , in, with 9 11, there remember, in, with 9 11, there was the same issue , we find that was the same issue, we find that muslims , didnt want to believe muslims, didnt want to believe it. This type of Blind Loyalty to their own, perspectives. And i think its important that , i think its important that, muslims should be called out for this. And its important also that, the general public should help muslims understand that they should be prepared to condemn what is wrong, a wrong can never be made a right. What hamas did is unspeakable. Its atrocious. Its a savagery. Its brutality. Its barbarism. And brutality. Its barbarism. And we should label it as such. But by the same token, we should also look at the other side of the coin. This country has for the coin. This country has for years and years just given israel a blank check. And we israel a blank check. And we really need to take stock of this. Even the really need to take stock of this. Even the foreign really need to take stock of this. Even the foreign secretary this. Even the foreign secretary has said british support shouldnt be unconditional. And i think this is a wake up call as well for the general public that we should try to be honest brokers in palestine and israel and not just support one side, unthinkingly, uncritically. Unthinkingly, uncritically. Okay, okay. Bringing it back to british shores. Very concerning that 52 of british muslims feel its not acceptable. They want to make it illegal. In fact , to show a illegal. In fact, to show a cartoon of the prophet muhammad. Cartoon of the prophet muhammad. That, of course, is what drove the Batley Grammar School teacher into hiding, where he remains three years to this day in fear of his and his familys life. We have rules in this country around freedom of expression. Why are 52 of the Muslim Population accepting that . Absolutely and thats why, for example, were having a big conference in at Oxford University in july on islam for liberty and free speech. So this idea that you cant show the prophet muhammads photo or image of him is nowhere to be found in the quran this comes like many other crazy, rules and regulations from the sharia. And the sharia is not divine law. Sharia. Shana is not divine law. Sharia. Sharia is medieval opinion masquerading as divine law. But most muslims are not aware of this, so they have no clue that the quran itself doesnt, ban this stuff. And why should we, in this country not be advocates and proponents of free speech if theres no free speech in this country , then what future is country, then what future is there for all of us . Because you and i are free to express our opinion, as long as its not a hateful and inciting of inciting violence and that is the cornerstone of british democracy. And if these muslims, my co religionists, if they wish to live in this country, they need to abide by the laws of this country , including free this country, including free speech and including if someone wants show a photo of the wants to show a photo of the prophet muhammad, someone wants to that, you do not to do this or that, you do not run them of town. You do run them out of town. You do not, condemn them, and so forth. Whats also important is that that muslims need to understand that muslims need to understand that they cannot bring their import theology from pakistan, saudi arabia, egypt, or whatever and think that they can impose and think that they can impose and implement it in this society. Thats why our organisation, our institute is promoting something called british islam. We want an islam thats rooted in and relevant in this society. It should be integrated, it should be inclusive and it should be inclusive and it should be inclusive and it should be indigenous. It should be part and parcel of this landscape. Its not some sort of a foreign import. And thats why its very important that we should speak out against what is happening currently, both in palestine and also in this society. Doctor hodge, i think a lot of people will agree with that. Sounds very laudable, but is that practical . It says in the same body of research here that only 23 of british muslims, islam, should be declared or say its undesirable to have islam as the national religion. Presumably that means that the vast majority think islam should be the dominant religion in the uk. Yeah, because they have been brainwashed program and conditioned by the islamic clergy that they cant be a separation between state and church, between state and religion. And this is not what islam is about. Islam talks about freedom and pluralism and inclusivity and democracy. The mullahs, the bearded priests , mullahs, the bearded priests, they talk about intolerance. And, and all types of fascist, interpretations of the faith. Okay. Thank you very much. Excellent dose of common sense, doctor taj hargey, whos the founder of the Oxford Institute for british islam. Thanks for joining us on the show. Now, another day, another train strike. Yes drivers who are demanding yet more money are causing yet more misery for the general public. Today well be live from Waterloo Station. Im Martin Daubney on gb welcome back. Its 351.

An estimated around 158,000 people go through this station every single day. Now we can see people going in and out of the station. Thats because a south station.

But you further but if you live further afield , there are no trains afield, there are no trains going that way. And the last train, if youre going that direction, just 5 00.

Theyve been doing walkouts here and there throughout the yean here and there throughout the year, affecting commuters all across the country wanting to get to work and others wanting to seize the opportunity. This week is school this week it is School Holidays for many children across the country, but the question is should they continue taking strike action . Ive been speaking to some of those who have been using the services here today. I havent been impacted, but if extra money, its if they need extra money, its all about the money, isnt it . If they need extra money, its all soyut the money, isnt it . If they need extra money, its all so . T the money, isnt it . So . So . So . So its right that theyre still striking . I think so if they think they deserve then yeah, deserve more then yeah, definitely know. Definitely i dont know. Know what theyre see i dont know what theyre actually striking for. Like i dont they more dont know if they want more money and but money or this and that, but its, pretty annoying. Its its, its pretty annoying. Its very annoying. See, im not a trained driver, so i dont know what, it requires to be a train driver , but if the tracks are driver, but if the tracks are already set up for me and i just got operate this 59 k sounds pretty good, but. But got operate this 59 k sounds pretty good, but. But im got operate this 59 k sounds pretty good, but. But im not got operate this 59 k sounds pretty good, but. But im not a train driver. I dont know that i cant go on strike. Loads of people, loads of me would like to increase their money. They cant because theyre stuck in a job or they cant go on strike, or they dont want to go on strike. But, thats it really. Aslef Union Members were offered 4. 4 last year. April for a pay rise two years in a row, which they rejected. Meanwhile , the department for meanwhile, the department for transport say the offer remains on the table. But the general secretary for aslef says we will continue striking if our members are vote in favour for strike action. Okay, thank you very much. Theo chikomba live from Waterloo Station.

Well, the top story from the gb newsroom today is that the killers of 23 year old cody fisher have been jailed for life with a minimum tum to serve of 26 and 25 years, respectively. The semi professional footballer was stabbed during a fight on the dance floor of a birmingham nightclub on boxing day in 2022, a jury at Birmingham Crown court found 23 year old remi gordon and 22 year old cammy carpenter guilty of his murder. The sentence passed is somewhat a blessing that they are no longer on our streets and hopefully go somewhat to try and eradicate this awful epidemic that is ruining so many lives. Sadly not all have been brought to account, but they know who they are or for us as a family. Cody will still not come home and will still not come home and will forever live in the shadow of a senseless murder. That was, codys mother, tracy, speaking outside Birmingham Crown court. Well in another story today, a 28 year old man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife in march last year, Nicholas Metson stabbed 26 year old Holly Bramley at least four times. Lincoln crown court heard he attempted to conceal his crime by buying cleaning supplies and paying by buying cleaning supplies and paying his School Friend £50 to help dump his wifes body parts in a river.

Now the labour partys headquarters has been targeted by pro Palestinian Protesters as the group, known as youth demand , sprayed both as youth demand, sprayed both the inside and the outside of the inside and the outside of the building in red paint. The protesters claim the party are complicit in, quote, the murder of Palestinian Jews in the ongoing israel hamas conflict. Ongoing israel hamas conflict. It comes after the labour leader, sir keir starmer, reiterated his call for the government to publish advice received on whether israel is violating International Humanitarian law, and the labour leader says the nhs is on its knees today. He also promised a modernise the Health Service if his party wins the next general election. It is hoped that a plan to digitise Childrens Health records, the records , Health Records, the records, known as the red book, will boost vaccination rates and improve access to health care. It would see parents receive automatic notifications for appointments and Health Information via the nhs app, while sir keir starmer says the plan will bring the nhs into the future. Everybody has that. Red book knows that it can get lost, it can get forgotten. All the details have to be re entered. It wastes a huge amount of time and this is an example of the sort of reform that we want in the nhs. Obviously everybody will know the nhs is absolutely on knees if were elected on its knees if were elected into government, if were privileged enough to come into government, well have to pick the nhs up, put it on its feet. But we also need to make it fit for future. Thats where for the future. And thats where the comes in. The reform comes in.

Now we start with two stories that sum up the state of lawless britain. In a moment, the latest on the hunt for a man wanted in connection with the murder of a woman with a baby in a pram in bradford on saturday afternoon. But we start with the sentencing of two men for the murder of footballer cody fisher, rempe gordon and cami carpenter have been jailed for life today. Cody was killed in a pre planned attack in a birmingham nightclub on boxing day 2022. Well gb news, West Midlands reporter jack carson is outside Birmingham Crown court. Jack carson is outside Birmingham Crown court. Jack, Birmingham Crown court. Jack, welcome to the show. A case that absolutely moved the nation and indeed codys mother, tracy gave an incredibly moving statement. A short while ago. Whats the latest . Latest . Yeah, well, those statements from the family that weve heard outside Birmingham Crown court upon the sentencing of cody fishers killers, really driving home, how just how tragic this killing was. Of course, cody fisher was a 23 year old semi professional footballer for local teams here around the birmingham area. He was also a p. E. Birmingham area. He was also a pe. Teacher at a local school. P. E. Teacher at a local school. But on boxing day in 2022, remi gordon and cami carpenter were found by a jury here at Birmingham Crown court to have killed cody fisher in what was called a pre planned act of retribution. The court heard retribution. The court heard today meant that the two engaged in significant planning in to order carry out a sustained group attack in which cody fisher was killed after a knife was stabbed into his chest and killed him. After the knife penetrated a valve in his heart. Now, cami carpenter is the man which the court heard throughout this trial, and today he was the one that delivered the blow to cody fishers chest. He, as well cody fishers chest. He, as well as remi gordon, who was the group leader described in this attack, both received life sentences. As for the murder of sentences. As for the murder of cody fisher, remi gordon receiving a minimum of 26 years. But of course, as long as hes remaining of course on licence , remaining of course on licence, depending on what the parole board decides, it could well still be a life sentence. That 26 years, of course, is still a minimum. And the same for cami minimum. And the same for cami carpenter, who was given a 25 year minimum sentence. And after year minimum sentence. And after the sentencing, the mother of cody fisher , tracy fisher, gave cody fisher, tracy fisher, gave her thoughts on that sentencing to the press here. Well, you always knew in our broken hearts what the conclusion would be without any doubt that our Beautiful Boy had lost his life down to knife crime no reason at all. The crime for no reason at all. The sentence passed is somewhat a blessing, that they are no longer on our streets and hopefully go somewhat to try and eradicate this awful epidemic thatis eradicate this awful epidemic that is ruining so many lives. Sadly, not all have been brought to account, but they know who they are. For us as a family, they are. For us as a family, cody will still not come home and we will forever live in the shadow of his senseless murder. I know that our grief will go on and we will continue with our life sentence, missing our child each i will each and every day. I will mention with many thanks the police and the legal team for their determination during the investigation and for apprehending responsible. Apprehending those responsible. Yeah, really interesting comments from tracy fisher there, particularly the point that she said about, sadly that not all of those involved have been brought to account and they know who they are. That refers to that during this to the fact that during this trial , to the fact that during this trial, Birmingham Crown court heard remi as heard how remi gordon, as the group leader of this attack and the group leader of his friends, was constantly messaging a group chat over that Christmas Period on how exactly he could go about getting that what was called an act of retribution and an act of revenge. This all started two revenge. This all started two days on Christmas Eve, when cody fisher accidentally bumped into remi gordon in another nightclub in solihull, and what led from that was obviously the act of retribution that weve seen. Unfortunately, in very tragically, take place. The judge here, judge farage kc, saying when he was sentencing carpenter in particularly saying that the choice of weapon, which we heard in court today was a zombie knife. The judge said, led me to conclude that you intended to kill so very clear from the judge there what he summed up the intentions of these two men to be, as were hearing, theyre just the impact really , of codys death. The really, of codys death. The fact that , as tracy fisher was fact that, as tracy fisher was saying, that she is she and of course, codys father now feel like they are living a life sentence without their son and in particular, the victim impact statement we heard from jessica chatwin, who is the who was the girlfriend of cody that really particularly powerful because she was there at the time of the attack. She was one of the witnesses that spoke in court dunng witnesses that spoke in court during the trial, saying that just before the attack happened, cody turned round and gave her a smile, which she said was full of love and happiness, and she now wonders whether that was his laugh last goodbye. But here is the tragic case and the story of cody fishers death. Play by play. This is the moment remi gordon was arrested by police just two days after murdering 23 year old cody fisher in a nightclub in birmingham. Fisher was a talented footballer, having played for Stratford Town and bromsgrove sporting, and was enjoying a night out on boxing day in 2022 when he was fatally stabbed in the chest. His murderers , remi gordon and cammy murderers, remi gordon and cammy carpenter, killed cody in a pre planned act of revenge on the dance floor of the crane nightclub in digbeth, birmingham, two days before his death. Cody fisher was out with friends on Christmas Eve in a different nightclub when he accidentally bumped into gordons cctv footage gordons back. This cctv footage shows the two in conversation fisher believed hed done nothing wrong, but was threatened with violence after the confrontation, remi gordon found a picture of cody online and asked his friends to help identify him. Seen here messaging a group chat only 45 minutes after the initial incident , gordon says hes due incident, gordon says hes due to shank him up. Codys simple mistake would turn out to be the catalyst for his murder. Fast forward to boxing day and cody fisher can be seen in this footage arriving at the crane nightclub a few hours later, his murderers remy gordon and cammy carpenter turn up and smuggle a weapon through security. Gordon weapon through security. Gordon had found out from friends in the hours before cody was going to be there. Just before midnight, cctv shows violence breaking out. Its at this moment, fisher is fatally stabbed in the chest with the knife penetrating a valve in his heart. Hes later pronounced dead at the scene. West Midlands Police detective inspector Michelle Thurgood led the investigation, getting a call to say somebodys been murdered in a nightclub in the dark that has over 2000 people, is a challenge in itself. However, with the assistance of cctv and then from the appeal that we put out to the public, we were able in the preceding days to piece together who are potential suspects and then in terms of the suspects with absolute minutia detail, all watch, watch and rewatch the cctv, which was a process that took months , not days. Took months, not days.

Now some tories are accusing downing street of blocking people from the right of the party, from even standing as candidates at the next general election, and well speak to one of them shortly. Im Martin Daubney on news im Martin Daubney on gb news is britains channel welcome back. Its 324. Im Martin Daubney , and this is gb news daubney, and this is gb news now. Still to come, labour party hq has been vandalised with red paint. And here are the shots. Paint. And here are the shots. Live in South East London. On your screen now you can see red handprints , red paint sprayed handprints, red paint sprayed from a fire extinguisher. Both outside and inside. They got inside hq and they blasted it with paint called youth demand and they certainly are making their demands. Well have an update live at the scene later in the show. Now we all know in the show. Now we all know just how divided the tory party is at the moment, but now some people on the right of the party are claiming that downing street is blocking them from even standing at the next general election. Well, im joined in our westminster studio now by our westminster studio now by our Political Correspondents, catherine fourth. Catherine, i read this over the weekend and the claims are Maggie Thatcher wouldnt even be selected as a candidate these days because the theory being rishi sunak wants to load the party with the wets , to load the party with the wets, as you may, unsavoury call them those from the more, one nation side of the to party ensure they cant be a right wing takeover. Is there any merit, or is this sour grapes from those who havent made the grade . Havent made the grade . Well, it absolutely depends on youre talking to, what on who youre talking to, what response you will get to that question. Now, the some feeling question. Now, the some feeling very bruised by this saying effectively that cchq wants to put in what theyre calling yellow tories. In other words , yellow tories. In other words, not very far away from the lib dems. They want to stack it basically so that after the, they lose the next election as they lose the next election as they expect to do , theyll make they expect to do, theyll make sure that therell be some sort of centrist one nation candidate who takes the leadership up, whereas theres plenty of, of people that have been rejected or from the right who feel that , or from the right who feel that, you know, this is this is a stitch up. Now cchq, i think its worth saying have said that this has no basis in fact, but then goes on to say, obviously a bit difficult for candidates who attack the party leader to be selected , given that they will selected, given that they will be asking constituents to cast their votes for him to be pm. So on the one hand, theyre saying theres no basis in fact , but theres no basis in fact, but they are also admitting basically, if you have been publicly not very nice about the Prime Minister then dont expect to be selected for a seat , i to be selected for a seat, i dont think thats entirely surprising. I mean , for example, surprising. I mean, for example, lord david frost is very keen to stand. Hes hes happy to relinquish his seat in the house of lords, but he has been extremely critical of rishi sunak. Now are they really going to want to give him the chance to want to give him the chance to , to get in as an mp and to, to get in as an mp and potentially in influence the outcome of the next leadership election . I suspect theyre not. Okay. Well, lets speak to one of the people who says hes being blocked from standing, and thats David Campbell bannerman, who, is the former who, of course, is the former mep for the conservative party. Welcome to the show , david. So welcome to the show, david. So youve been pretty outspoken in your condemnation of this. You think its a fix . Tell us more. Think its a fix . Tell us more. Well, it is a fix, im afraid. Central office has far too much power over candidates. It really should be down to local associations to choose their candidate. Their candidate. S and what you have is a sort of whole system that the first people. Im the third at the moment. Im the third at the moment. Im the third at the moment. I can apply anywhere but nowhere because im deferred and im not the only one. Theres some senior people, and this is often because number 10 interferes with candidates and they sit on the candidates committee. We know who they are allegedly vie, who get involved in this, but its not right to fix it. You know, there is a process, quite rightly , to process, quite rightly, to ensure that you have decent candidates. You know , and theyre not you know, and theyre not bankrupt or corrupt or whatever. Bankrupt or corrupt or whatever. But, you know, when it comes down to it, it really should be down to it, it really should be down to it, it really should be down to local associations. That used to be the case before William Hague changed the constitution back in 98, and david in a report i read over the weekend, leaked from inside some of those candidate interviews. The questions werent about low taxation, werent about your positions on brexit, but instead candidates are being asked their take on diversity. It doesnt take on diversity. It doesnt sound like the conservative party to me. Well , you know, the point is, well, you know, the point is, in the actual constitution , in the actual constitution, theres nothing about conservative values. What were meant to believe in. And that is a major problem. Now, im afraid i dont think we know what sunak believes in or what the administration believes in, and that is turning people away. And its all part of the bigger picture. But no, those values is really what people should be interviewed about because you dont want to find out after theyre elected that theyre actually closet lib dems. Theyre not really true tories, and they dont actually believe in a lot of conservative policies. And that is whats going on at the moment. And im afraid it does go back to cameron and before cameron, its been for a long time, and been fixed for a long time, and you just have to read Nadine Dorries book the plot to see whats going on. And theres a lot of reality in that. Its not fiction. Fiction. Okay, david, weve got a question here. Katherine forster. Our Political Correspondent is in the studio. I would like to ask you a question. Hey, catherine. Hello, david. Hello, david, i was at a dinner back at Party Conference where conference last year where i think you suggested. You basically said that were so basically said that you were so fed up with the conservatives, the track that theyre going down that you suggested that members actually stopped paying their fees. And can you really be surprised . Im afraid i have to stop you there because we can cross out of bradford, where police are making a statement on the search for the man suspected of killing a over the weekend. A young mother over the weekend. I would like you to thank you all taking time to be all for taking the time to be here afternoon and for here this afternoon and for sharing support and sharing the your support and sharing the your support and sharing our updates and appeals.

Ill have plenty more to bring you on that in just a moment, so please dont welcome back. Its 443. Im Martin Daubney , and this is gb Martin Daubney, and this is gb news. Now, later in the show, ill tell you all about an historic moment involving the french at Buckingham Palace today. But before that, the state pension rises today by 8. 5. As the triple lock pension commitment finally kicks in. And the government says the increase will provide a meaningful difference for those reliant on this pension. But is this right . How does todays pension increase actually impact you . Well, here to break it down, its gb news economics editor Liam Halligan with on the money reporter. Liam halligan with on the money reporter. Liam, Liam Halligan with on the money reporter. Liam, welcome back to reporter. Liam, welcome back to the show. So is this a happy monday for pensioners or is a dread of fiscal drag going to eradicate all of these increases . 7 its a bit 7 its a bit of 7 its a bit of both. Martin, im sorry, i cant give you a straight answer, but thats economics, isnt it . Quite a lot of time. Give me a one of the time. Give me a one handed economist. Napoleon handed economist. As napoleon said , because they always say on said, because they always say on the one hand, but then on the other, a lot going the one hand, but then on the otihere. A lot going the one hand, but then on the otihere. This a lot going the one hand, but then on the otihere. This is a lot going the one hand, but then on the otihere. This is thea lot going the one hand, but then on the oti here. This is the start going the one hand, but then on the otihere. This is the start ofing on here. This is the start of the fiscal year. Monday the 8th of lets do an on the of april. Lets do an on the money graphic, because money graphic, martin, because i know it wouldnt the same know it wouldnt be the same without headline is without one. The headline is that the triple lock applies. The triple lock is the law that was introduced by that tory Lib Dem Coalition from 2010 onwards, that the basic state pension goes up each year by either earnings , prices or 2. 5, earnings, prices or 2. 5, whichever is the greater. Now weve got a rise this year of 8. 5 from today, from april the 8th in the basic state pension. 8th in the basic state pension. Thats on top of last years 10. 1 rise. So these are big chunky increases, even though as many pensioners will tell you and there are 12 Million People in the uk getting the basic state pension, as many of them will tell you that our basic state pension is actually quite low international standards, low by international standards, but of is 8. 1 higher. But as of today is 8. 1 higher. Lets have a look at those numbers. So the basic state pension is £221. 20. Thats up from £203. 85. Thats per week. And thats for those whove qualified for the basic state pension since april 2016. Those who qualified before that. So who qualified before that. So that means that they are older, theyre getting £169 a week, £169. 50, up from £156. 20. And thats if you qualify for the bafic thats if you qualify for the basic state pension before april 2016. Look, these are quite chunky increases there, you know, six 700, £900 a month in some cases. And pensioners should be quite pleased about that. Certainly a lot of younger people think the triple lock is unfair because they say all pensioners, theyve got all the houses and they havent got mortgages. That is the case in some cases. On the other hand, martin, theres also quite a lot of pensioner in this of pensioner poverty in this country. A lot of pensioners country. A lot of pensioners would say the basic state pension because pension isnt a benefit because theyve paid for all their theyve paid for it all their lives have, through lives and they have, through National Contributions lives and they have, through national and contributions lives and they have, through national and yalsoibutions lives and they have, through national and also say ons , of course. And id also say that it , of course. And id also say thatitis , of course. And id also say that it is quite low by international standards. And theres also this little extra tax thingy going on. Okay. Superb. So as ever, Liam Halligan always on the money. Thanks for joining Liam Halligan always on the money. Thanks forjoining us on money. Thanks for joining us on the show. Now is the uk prepared for war . Well, well be discussing this next. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel welcome back. Its 450 now. Weve got more on a breaking news story we brought you a short while ago, and its this. The labour headquarters has been vandalised and spray painted by an Extremist Group called youth demand. And they hope from their actions, this will help impose an arms embargo on israel. And lets speak now on israel. And lets speak now to our reporter, charlie peters, whos outside that vandalised labour party hq. Charlie. Well come to the show. So theres come to the show. So theres a scene of devastation behind you there. Charlie, whats whats there. Charlie, whats whats the latest . And what do we know about this group . About this group . So 11 people have been arrested here at labour hq in Central London. Its a group called youth demand. We revealed last week on thursday that they were set to take action in Central London this week. We also revealed that they are joining forces with Palestine Action youth demand is a spin off of Just Stop Oil. Its Environmentalist Group thats focused typically on oil and gas issues, but it has joined with Palestine Action for some planned collaboration later this week on the wednesday. But today is their first demonstration. A group of 70 protesters from the group of 70 protesters from the group set off from victoria embankment in Central London, marching towards parliament square. We understand that several members of that protest were threatened with arrest under new powers given to the police last year in the public order act, but were not arrested. Although one member was searched. However, at the same time, concurrently, 11 people were arrested here for spraying labour headquarters in Central London with red paint. We also understand that three protesters made it inside the building. Now this group, youth building. Now this group, youth demand they are focusing on a mixture of pro palestinian and environmentalist messages. They environmentalist messages. They believe that a genocide is being caused by oil and gas licences, and another one is being caused by the arms sales to israel, allowing them to conduct that war against hamas in the gaza strip. This is the start of several protests they have planned for this week, and there are fears that that protest level could escalate as the week goes on, in particular with this collaboration with Palestine Action, because that group has conducted rather more severe means for their protests beyond just paint , theyve been known just paint, theyve been known to smash up windows, infiltrate factories linked to israel and engagein factories linked to israel and engage in more violent means to get their message across. But get their message across. But youth demand here, 11 arrests in their first of several demonstrations this week. Demonstrations this week. Well, charlie peters, indeed it was you who broke the exclusive story that they were teaming up with Palestine Action, and they said they meant business and theyve proven it very. Very quickly. Yes, absolutely. And at the yes, absolutely. And at the time, policing minister chris philp did say that he was extremely concerned by this new alliance. But he said that the police would not stand by to allow anyone, any group to cross the line. Lord walney, the governments independent adviser on Political Violence and disruption , said that these new disruption, said that these new links were an unholy alliance between militant gaza protesters and environmental ists. Youth demands say that democracy has failed , and the only way they failed, and the only way they can prevent what they say is a genocide is direct action. Like this. This. Okay. Thank you. Charlie peters live there in South East London outside the labour party hq. Charlie peters, to remind you the story last week you broke the story last week that youth demand were teaming up with Palestine Action to step up with Palestine Action to step up hostilities. And they proven that today 11 arrests at labour party hq, 70 protesters marched towards hq, three made it inside and with makeshift fire extinguishers full of red fluid, sprayed it across the inside and the outside of the labour party hq. And what happens to them now remains to be seen. They werent obviously stopped from getting inside , or they took the labour inside, or they took the labour party hq totally by surprise. As party hq totally by surprise. As you can see the footage there, theyre spraying the paint and it sort of Just Stop Oil manner, but than this is but rather than orange, this is red, presumably to signify blood. They want arms blood. They want an arms embargo. They want the uk to stop selling arms to israel. Now. Love all the latest in just a moment on that story.

Now, in other news, today, 11 people have been arrested following a pro palestinian protest at the labour partys headquarters. The group, known as youth demand, sprayed both the inside and outside of the building in red paint. The protesters claimed that the party is complicit in what theyve described as the murder of palestinians in israels conflict with hamas. The terror group. And it comes after sir keir starmer reiterated his call this morning for the government to publish its advice on whether israel is violating International Humanitarian law in gaza. Meanwhile, the labour leader says the nhs is on its knees and hes promised to modernise it if his party wins the next election. Its hoped that a plan to digitise the red book of Health Records that parents receive when a baby is born will boost vaccination rates and improve access to health care. It would access to health care. It would see parents receive automatic notifications for appointments and Health Information via the nhs app. Sir keir starmer says the plan will make the nhs fit for the future. Everybody has that. Red book knows that it can get lost, it can get forgotten. All the details have to be re entered. It wastes a huge amount of time and this is an example of the sort of reform that we want in the nhs. Obviously everybody the nhs. And obviously everybody will at will know the nhs is at absolutely on its knees if were elected into government, absolutely on its knees if were elected into government , if elected into government, if were privileged enough to come into government, well have to pick up , put it into government, well have to pick up, put it on its pick the nhs up, put it on its feet. Also need to make feet. But we also need to make it and it fit for the future. And thats reform comes in. Sir keir starmer now in the united states, donald trump says that a womans right to an abortion should be decided on a state by state basis. Polls show that the majority of americans believe terminating a pregnancy should be legal, with about 1 believe terminating a pregnancy should be legal, with about1 in should be legal, with about 1 in 8 saying that its the most important issue for them at the next us election. The former next us election. The former president , whos running again this year, said the overturning of the historic roe v wade ruling actually means choice is returning to the american people. Many states will be different. Many will have a different. Many will have a Different Number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others. And thats what they will be at the end of the day. This is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your heart or in many cases, your or your faith.

Well have more on that throughout the show as any fresh details emerge. And in other news, two men were today jailed for life for the murder of footballer cody fisher. Rempe gordon and cammy carpenter killed cody in a pre planned attack in a birmingham nightclub on boxing day 2022 or gb news. West Midlands Reporter jack carson is outside Birmingham Crown court. Jack, welcome to the show , a case which greatly the show, a case which greatly moved the entire nation at the time and indeed today, jack codys mother , tracy fisher, codys mother, tracy fisher, gave an incredibly moving statement after sentence was passed. Bring us up to speed. Passed. Bring us up to speed. Yeah, well, tracy fisher, the mum of, 23 year old cody, who, of course, was killed in the nightclub here in birmingham on boxing day in 2022, called in her statement after sentencing here, she said that anyone who carries a knife is a pathetic coward. Strong words, of course. And shes still dealing with the tragic loss of her son, cody fisher. The events of his death started actually on Christmas Eve, two days before his murder, when he accidentally bumped into, remi gordon in a nightclub into, remi gordon in a nightclub in solihull. Then over the following 22 hours, gordon collaborated with cami carpenter and others in a group chat in order and working out how to act on his revenge. The court on his revenge. The court heanng on his revenge. The Court Hearing over the trial and in the sentencing here. About this pre planned what was called an act of retribution. So remi act of retribution. So remi gordon, who was called the group leader of this attack, was given a life sentence today, 26 years minimum. Cami carpenter, who this court heard was the one who actually stabbed cody in the chest during that group attack. Chest during that group attack. Hes been sentenced to a minimum of 25 years, and given life, of course, in prison. Now, both of course, in prison. Now, both of them have already served well over a year , of course, in over a year, of course, in custody since this investigation and trial has been taking place. And so that will be deducted from , their sentences. But the from, their sentences. But the tragedy and the impact of cody fishers death has really been felt here, particularly the victim impact statements read out in court, not only from tracy fisher, but also, of course, jessica chatwin, who was the girlfriend of cody fisher, was there on the in the crane nightclub in digbeth on the nightclub in digbeth on the night of his death, witnessed, his death , and the impact of her his death, and the impact of her really pushed today because she said that he was the love of my life. She called him her soulmate. She says my life has stopped. Stopped that day, and i will never have get to have a fun loving christmas again. And that, she says she has to deal with the horrific events of that night, not only witnessing the attack, but also holding him in her arms as he took her last breath. Also speaking outside the court on sentencing was tracy fisher, the mum of cody, and heres what she told us. We always knew in our broken hearts what the conclusion would be, without any doubt that our Beautiful Boy had lost his life down to knife crime for no reason at all. The sentence passed is somewhat a blessing that they are no longer on our streets and hopefully go somewhat to try and eradicate this awful epidemic that is ruining so many lives. Sadly, not all have been brought to account , but they know who they account, but they know who they are. For us as a family, cody will still not come home and well forever live in the shadow of his senseless murder. I know that our grief will go on and we will continue with our life sentence missing our child each and every day. I will mention with many thanks the police and the their the legal team for their determination during the investigation and for apprehending responsible. Apprehending those responsible. Yeah, really important point to pick up on from from tracy fisher there feeling that not all justice in her eyes has been done, particularly around feeling that not everyone who might well have involved in might well have been involved in this so called senseless murder of her son has been brought to justice. We know, of course, and we heard during the trial that remi gordon messaged just 45 minutes after cody fisher bumped into him accidentally in a nightclub. 45 minutes later, he was messaging a group chat with his friends, asking that he asking how he could find out who exactly the person was. There was a picture of cody fisher put in that group chat, asking people to help and try and identify what he called a pip squeeze. And then after the photo was sent, remi gordon put in that chat , photo was sent, remi gordon put in that chat, allegedly that he was due to shank him up. Then as i was saying, over the next 22 hours, more planning took place between gordon and also carpenter in how to go about, of course, as we heard this act of retribution, this act of revenge. And it was the conversation between friends that they realised that cody fisher would be in the nightclub on the in the crane on boxing day night. And then they went, of course, to their smuggling a weapon through security. The weapon through security. The judge in the sentencing here saying that gordon and carpenter were subject to inadequate checks on the door. Now, since of course, this case, this murder happened , the license of murder happened, the license of the crane has been permanently refused, rejected by Birmingham City council and removed. They are no longer a licensed club. Are no longer a licensed club. But of course, after the sad death of her and tragic death of her son, tracy fisher, now moving towards what she wants to be called, codys law , which be called, codys law, which includes the increased security around nightclubs and also the introduction of bleed kits to try and help stop these tragic killings in the future. Jack carson thank you for that summary. And indeed, tracy fishers testimony was so profoundly moving. She said no remorse has been shown by the killers. Around this sentence. And this will not stop knives. And this will not stop knives. She talked very movingly about how codys little brother not only lost his brother, but also a part of his mum. That day. Only lost his brother, but also a part of his mum. That day. Are a part of his mum. That day. Are okay on a change of pace, its time now for our biggest ever giveaway of the year so far.

Now a shock poll has found that less than a quarter of muslims surveyed in britain believe that hamas committed murder and rape in israel on october 7th, because today is the sixth month anniversary. Astonishing findings , and ill speak to the findings, and ill speak to the Research Director from the Henry Jackson society next. Im Martin Daubney on gb news, britains news channel welcome back. Its 523. Im Martin Daubney, and this is gbh news. Now, later this is gbh news. Now, later this hour, ill speak to a senior Police Officer in scotland about the absolute chaos thats being caused by the snps controversial new hate crime law. But first, to a shock poll into attitudes among british muslims and less than a quarter believe hamas committed murder and rape in israel on october the 7th. And here are the Main Findings of a survey survey of 1000 people. The headune survey of 1000 people. The headline figure is that just 24 of people think hamas carried out those despicable acts six months ago today , 46 of those months ago today, 46 of those polled feel sympathy towards hamas and 52 want to make it illegal to show a picture of the prophet muhammad. Of course, thats what drove the Batley Grammar School teacher into hiding. Three years on, hes still there. And finally, 46 still there. And finally, 46 think jewish people have got too much power over uk government policy. Astonishing findings. Im joined now to discuss them by mark sidwell, who is the director of research at the Henry Jackson society, who commissioned this poll. Welcome commissioned this poll. Welcome to the show, mark. An astonishing set of findings that suggest to me certainly reading them, we have a British Muslim Society with a set of completely different views to those held by the majority of the nation. The majority of the nation. Thank you martin. Its great to be on. And of course we should. We should start by acknowledging that, you acknowledging that that, you know, millions of fellow know, we have millions of fellow citizens who are muslim in this country and theyre not monolithic. And, you know, they monolithic. And, you know, they make extremely positive contributions ways to contributions in many ways to our national life. But we commissioned poll because commissioned this poll because we important to talk we think its important to talk about there are about where there are differences and where differences of values and where there be quite worrying there seem to be quite worrying shifts. Think shifts. And certainly i think theres information in theres Important Information in this poll. And the thing that i think most worrying most think is most worrying and most striking is when we look at striking is that when we look at these see that these results, we see that actually some most actually some of the most extreme radical are extreme or radical opinions are actually held by the actually being held by the youngest generation, by sort of 18 to 35, and by the most educated, by those often whove been to university. Thats extremely worrying, because thats opposite of thats really the opposite of what you might expect. And people say, well, older people might say, well, older people might say, well, older people prejudiced than people are more prejudiced than the come along the new generations come along and university and and they go to university and theyre know, theyre more, you know, inculcated more inculcated into, into more liberal that the opposite liberal values that the opposite seems to be happening. And i think that should be a real cause for concern. We need to think about whats on to think about whats going on there. Problems there. Are there real problems in universities the in the universities and the attitudes theyre educating attitudes that theyre educating people and also perhaps people into . And also perhaps what the difference among what makes the difference among the young is it is it about onune the young is it is it about online misinformation . Is that online misinformation . Is that part of whats going on . Because perhaps the younger , more, more perhaps the younger, more, more onune perhaps the younger, more, more online older online than the older generations. Yeah , its generations. But, yeah, its very worrying trends. I totally agree. That really i totally agree. That really leapt out at me, mark. This this sense that the young , almost sense that the young, almost a counter narrative to our expectations are the more radicalised and as you say, what does that suggest about what theyre being taught on university campuses, wanting to elect to me as what elect out to me as what i mentioned in my intro, about 52 wanting to ban cartoons of all pictures of the prophet muhammad. And we spoke to somebody earlier from the Oxford Centre on islam who said, this isnt in the quran, this is a more modern shana the quran, this is a more modern sharia based interpretation. And sharia based interpretation. And of course, the Batley Grammar School teacher mark is still in hiding. We dont have blasphemy laws in this country, and yet 52 seem to be in favour of them i absolutely. We seem to be developing in some ways an informal one, and theres certainly a risk of falling into that thats being enforced by these these of that these, these sort of norms that that forming among some that are forming among some communities. As you say, it communities. As you say, it shouldnt be as something shouldnt be seen as something thats deep in in the thats sort of deep in in the religious background. Is religious background. This is actually a modern, trend. Actually quite a modern, trend. We did a paper on this last yean we did a paper on this last year, some other extremism think tanks have worked on it. Im pleased Say Commission pleased to say the commission for extremism, which for countering extremism, which is, sponsored by is, more closely sponsored by the government, just put out something on blasphemy related extremism earlier this year. Its a trend seems to be its a trend that seems to be developing out of some political strains, particularly of strains, particularly out of pakistan , and that that is pakistan, and that that is starting to inform, views inside the uk. And we need to think very seriously about how we counter that. You talk about, batley, theres wakefield as well. Theres, there was a film well. Theres, there was a film that, caused a lot of trouble. Its really its an important area to think about. Well, mark said, well, its a brave and its a vital piece of research. Theres so much more to go into on halal, on public prayer rooms, on on the dominant religion , of islam perhaps being religion, of islam perhaps being coming to the fore, the forefront in the uk. Mark sidwell, the director of research at the Henry Jackson society, thank you very much for joining today on gb news. Joining us today on gb news. Fantastic piece of work. Now, of course, still waiting to course, were still waiting to find out when the next general election be. And a gb news election will be. And a gb news poll over the weekend put labour an incredible points ahead of an incredible 26 points ahead of the and the bad the conservatives and the bad news for rishi sunak is that another poll out today says that even if the economy improves, by the time we go to polls , it the time we go to the polls, it would hardly make a difference to how intend to vote. To how people intend to vote. Well, joining me now is gb news senior political commentator, nigel nelson. Nigel welcome to the show. Well, as bill clinton said, its the economy, stupid. Thats what people always vote on. Seems like thats not the case because i think the tories were thinking that the longer the election goes on, the better the election goes on, the better the economy may improve. Therefore, the better their prospects. But but nigel, this prospects. But but nigel, this says, going to happen. Says, aint going to happen. No. Thats right. And i think that that the problem is the tories really have run out of road now and run out of time, so it would, it would require a huge improvement in the economy and people feeling much, much better than they do now before it would have any effect on the polls. I mean, people sort of decide to vote over a fairly long period of time. And the idea that you can just turn it round in a couple of months isnt really a goer. Round in a couple of months isnt really a goer. Also, isnt really a goer. Also, youre up against the one great election driver is time for change. That Margaret Thatcher lasted 13 years. New labour lasted 13 years. New labour lasted 13 years. Rishi. Rishi sunaks tories have been around now for 14 and that probably is a year two two. Many and nigel, you know historically the conservative party always put themselves forward at any rate as the party of low taxes. We have the highest taxes since world war two. So thats not happening. And what was curious about this report, nigel, is that 41 believe that taxes will rise if the tories win, but 49 if the labour party wins taxes will increase whatever the party that gets in. So perhaps thats the point. People just dont think theres much difference between theres much difference between the two parties, nigel, and they simply now want change. No, i think that that that sadly i mean, people think that , sadly i mean, people think that, high taxation is almost inevitable in inevitable no matter whos in government , which is inevitable no matter whos in government, which is a inevitable no matter whos in government , which is a pity, but government, which is a pity, but i mean, that thats the way, way it appears to have gone. Obviously, youve got to blame a bit on the aftermath of covid for this, but at the moment the tories are relying on things like, National Insurance cuts now, although that thats made , now, although that thats made, people a bit better off when you compare it with the tax thresholds being thrown or being frozen and the personal allowance frozen, that means 1 in 4 people are either paying more taxes or paying tax for the first time. So really, the cuts theyve done so farjust havent theyve done so far just havent made enough of a difference. And evenin made enough of a difference. And even in the economy will improve a little bit over over this year , you will probably see inflation getting down to 2. That will mean cheaper mortgages, but but its just not enough. And i think that that now sir john curtice the pollster, was absolutely right. The tories have got about a 1 chance actuallywinning. Chance of actually winning. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Thank you very much. And thats nigel nelson. So the economy wont make any difference. Will penny difference. But will the penny drop now drop in downing street now theres lots more still to come between now and 6 00. And ill tell why. The coldstream tell you why. The coldstream guards you guards were in paris today. You believe it. But i can tell you that we havent finally invaded france.

And thats the first time theyve been on the same field, if you like, since waterloo, together , so that was quite together, so that was quite a nice little bit, fortunately , nice little bit, fortunately, though the its only going to be the changing of the guard. Theyre not going to allow the french to guard the palace. Thatis the french to guard the palace. That is a right only reserved for the, you know, home grown troops and the commonwealth troops. And given theyre given the french record and not being able to stop people coming across from calais , im quite across from calais, im quite pleased that theyre not going to guard the palace otherwise , to guard the palace otherwise, we may end up with Illegal Immigrants each of the royal immigrants in each of the royal rooms there, martin. Yeah. Charles, i was i was wondering if youd get that a little bit in. But these these are moments. They are important. Are moments. They are important. They show the benefits of the royal family in our extension of soft power. And we could do with more relationships with france because, you know, we certainly do with their help, as say, do with their help, as you say, on a range measures, mainly on a range of measures, mainly protecting their own borders. Yes, yes. Absolutely yes, yes. Youre absolutely right. It is important. And relationships , with and relationships, with france have been, you know, a bit of seesaw over the, over the years with brexit and everything else. But really we are close relations.

Now, this time last week we were talking all about scotlands controversial new hate crime law. It into hate crime law. It came into force on april fools day. Yes. Really . That was no joke. And as people protested outside the scottish parliament, there were fears that the police would be deluged with complaints. And sure enough, thats exactly whats happened. It said that 8000 complaints were made in the first week since it became law. First week since it became law. Well, im delighted to say im joined now by David Threadgold , joined now by David Threadgold, whos the chair of the Scottish Police federation. Thanks so much for joining police federation. Thanks so much forjoining us on the show, much for joining us on the show, david. David Police Officers must be pulling their hair out at this. Your job is hard enough at this. Yourjob is hard enough already. The boys and the girls in blue want to police the streets. Now, thanks to this , streets. Now, thanks to this, youre having to police peoples tweeze. Is it not a complete waste of Police Resource . Waste of Police Resource . Well, thats an entirely subjective view , martin. Subjective view, martin. Them. The role of the police in scotland is to enforce and, you know, to police the laws that do exist and many personal views on the relevance of this one, you know, are not for me to comment on, but youre absolutely correct in your introduction piece that, you know, been around know, there have been around 8000 Police Scotland 8000 calls, Police Scotland has gone public and said that they will investigate each and every one calls. And when you one of those calls. And when you consider that approximately a third i understand, third of them, i understand, have been made anonymously, it does emphasise the scale of the task. But also i would ask the pubuc task. But also i would ask the public whose support we need and whose trust we need, but what is your motivation and contacting the police and reporting hate crime . You know, an offence under the hate crime legislation 7 under the hate crime legislation . Because i just cannot accept that there were 8000 people who, on the 31st of march this year, felt like they were being the victims of hate crime. So theres real understanding of theres a real understanding of theres a real understanding of the consequences of tying up police in dealing this police time in dealing with this legislation impact that legislation and the impact that that might have later on this that might have later on in this calendar. Calendar year. But, david, in terms of the deployment of officers , of deployment of officers, of resource of overtime, you know, the to day basics of running the day to day basics of running a police force, this must have created a huge headache for you in terms of the deployment of resources. And i guess the greater concern is, does that mean that crime, crime mean that street crime, crime that impacts people directly . We know, example, a house is know, for example, a house is broken into every two hours in scotland, less than half crimes are solved and now you have to put officers on to this. It cannot help matters. No, youre right, it cant. No, youre right, it cant. The police, you know, are we are well under our budget at establishment in scotland at the moment. We had a recruitment freeze which took effect from september has only september 2023. That has only just weve only just recommenced recruiting Police Officers in scotland at the end of march. So any spike in the business of policing, such as we have seen in the last week , will have an in the last week, will have an impact. Now, what we are trying to as officers in to do as Police Officers in scotland and, you know, within my organisation is to my own organisation is to promote policing in a positive light, to that police light, to show that Police Officers scotland are officers across scotland are trying to do their best to deliver that in very deliver that service in very difficult circumstances. Uses difficult circumstances. Uses this amount drain on our this amount of drain on our resource only have one resource can only have one impact, and that will be on the delivery policing delivery of policing across scotland either other scotland, either in other aspects policing directly aspects of policing not directly related legislation. Related to this legislation. Community policing, policing of the network, for example, the roads network, for example, but also on the time taken to deal this type of call, deal with this type of call, which can only be increased because volume of calls because of the volume of calls that we are seeing. Yeah. And of course, david, you humza yousaf would you know, humza yousaf would no doubt a laudable doubt think its a laudable thing stamp down on hate thing to stamp down on hate crime. People support that notion. Youre the guys at notion. But youre the guys at the sharp end having to police the sharp end having to police the streets. And if youre unable to do that job because youre tired to computers, youre tired to computers, youre through paperwork, youre tired to computers, yourit through paperwork, youre tired to computers, yourit just through paperwork, youre tired to computers, yourit just doesnth paperwork, youre tired to computers, yourit just doesnt bode erwork, youre tired to computers, yourit just doesnt bode wellk, then it just doesnt bode well for keeping the streets safe , for keeping the streets safe, does it . I mean, what we want is, you know, if you talk about 8000 cases, theres a real risk potentially, that the genuine complainer, you know, that person scotland who is person in scotland who is genuinely the victim of this type of crime be missed. Type of crime could be missed. Now, humza yousaf is very keen to talk about Police Scotlands ability to deal vexatious ability to deal with vexatious complaints, ability to deal with vexatious comjwe nts, ability to deal with vexatious comjwe do, ability to deal with vexatious comjwe do it all the time and that we do it all the time and we do, but weve not seen anything like the scale of this. Certainly in my time in policing and there is a risk that will and there is a risk that we will miss genuine miss that genuine call in deaung miss that genuine call in dealing those calls that dealing with those calls that have either been made anonymously those, as i have anonymously or those, as i have been contacted today told been contacted today and told that made as that have only been made as a protest against the government in scotland. Now, its not my job to have political commentary on would again on this, but i would say again to the public, please, if you feel like you are a genuine victim of this type of crime , of victim of this type of crime, of course the police. But course contact the police. But if it a if youre doing it to make a political point or a personal point, or to try generate point, or to try and generate you know, point scoring because you know, point scoring because you support a different Football Team else, then team from someone else, then the impact from the impact of those actions from the pubuc impact of those actions from the public a real impact public will have a real impact on our ability to deliver policing later on in this calendar year, because budgets are tight and the money are so tight and the money required to deal with this aspect of policing at the moment will have to paid for later will have to be paid for later in and that will in the year, and that will have an impact. In the year, and that will have an andict. A new poll out and david, a new poll out today shows that 68. 6 of the scottish people would like to bin the hate crime law. Whats the mood amongst the rank and file officers whose job it is to police this . Police this . I mean, its only a week old, so, you know, its very new legislation. There is no context legislation. There is no context around, the, you know, around, lets say the, you know, the of crime thats been the volume of crime thats been reported the training reported to us, the training that as police that we received as Police Officers in scotland was far from ideal, i think, in the way it was delivered, but also the time frames that we were dealing with. Have to with. But i believe we have to move now and get move on from that now and get down business of actually down to the business of actually deaung down to the business of actually dealing goal, dealing with this goal, these goals, is word goals, confusion is one word thats to you thats been described to me. You know, basically having to know, we are basically having to sit set of sit with every set of circumstances is presented circumstances that is presented to us with those circumstances and decide and the legislation, and decide whether or not what has been presented to us fits the bill. If you like, quite literally. And decisions are and then decisions that are being the best of being made with the best of intentions are being criticised or commented on in the media. So we all have a role to play in sort of managing the expectations, not of expectations, not only of the public, politicians public, but what the politicians and this bill is actually likely to achieve.
