We cant be confident that we know the full picture because ministers are refusing to pubush ministers are refusing to publish the full list of school affected. Affected. Its a scandal that parents are being left in the dark just at the point of the new school term. Starting ministers need to be upfront publish list and upfront publish that list and get grip. We its vital get a grip. We think its vital that government that the government publishes the schools the full list of schools affected. They to get affected. They need to get a grip of this situation, but if they refuse to do so, well force a vote in the house of commons and make commons this week and make it happen so that parents arent left in the dark. Speak to well, lets speak to education
Journalist School
founder top , laura founder of teacher top,
Laura Mcinerney
, with this one this mcinerney, with this one this morning. Laura you know where do we begin with this . Lets go to the chancellor first of all, i see one headline in express leeds today with hunt vows. Well spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools. Then we hear it has to come from existing budgets, budgets that pay for classroom assistance , budgets classroom assistance, budgets that pay for equipment, budgets that pay for equipment, budgets that pay for goodness knows what. But they werent designed to pay for crumbling buildings. To pay for crumbling buildings. No. And also, those budgets have been cut a lot in the past 13 years. I mean, the spend on caphal 13 years. I mean, the spend on capital. So thats the building themselves across the
School Estate
is about 50 lower over the past 13 years. And heads have repeatedly said that the more that you cut our budgets, the less likely we are to be able to maintain our ceilings, our now are the our walls and now those are the exact of the buildings exact parts of the buildings which theyre starting worry which theyre starting to worry about. How we got to this point how have we got to this point , laura . I mean, weve known about crumbling concrete. About this crumbling concrete. Theres been warnings about it. But years, has it but over 30 years, how has it come the end of this six week come to the end of this six week holiday . Still holiday . And parents still arent for if the school arent sure for if the school that theyre sending their children is a is a safe children to is a is a
Safe Building
. Building . I i think theres i mean, i think theres a long term and short term long term and a short term answer that. Long term answer to that. The long term answer to that. The long term answer that in the mid 90s, answer is that in the mid 90s, it was clear that there was going to be about 14,000 schools in position. And so the in this position. And so the
Labour Government
in late
Labour Government
in the late 90s spent a lot of 90s and the 2000 spent a lot of money. This huge list of money. It had this huge list of schools it was essentially schools and it was essentially going through and rebuilding them other. In them one after the other. In 2010, cameron , then 2010, david cameron, then the prime that
Prime Minister
, decided that what going do was stop what he was going to do was stop that and severely that programme and severely limit course the plan limit it. And of course the plan was austerity. Austerity would mean now thered lots mean that by now thered be lots more money. Unfortunately, there isnt money the roofs isnt any money and the roofs are caving in. And so this is the situation we find ourselves in, why its taken until now, im clear, and im not entirely clear, and i dont well find out for dont think well find out for a little while, but i suspect that there information there has been new information over summer or more alarming over the summer or more alarming information means that information which means that they want to the concern they want to raise the concern levels these 150 levels on these particular 150 schools and no one schools for now. And no one wants to be in the position, of course, where they would have to sit television explain sit on television and explain why happened. So why this has happened. So i think are being cautious , think they are being cautious, and thats a very good thing. Its shame come so its just a shame its come so late. Theres a few them that late. Theres a few of them that are going to be on television today. Are going to be on television tod laura to explain that laura having to explain that that thing. And none of it that very thing. And none of it seems to ring true. They did know about it and they chose not to investigate it and spend on it. And now theyre pretending that childrens safety is priority. They. Priority. They. Thats right. And i think thats right. And i think its i think its a shame that were in a situation in where the chancellor is pretending that there is going to be extra cash for this when there isnt. I mean, i think its one thing to be honest, in a dreadful situation we shouldnt be in, but i think to be dishonest or at least misleading at best in these situations is really going to upset teachers and bear to upset the teachers and bear in this isnt just well in mind, this isnt just as well about concrete in this about the concrete in this particular we know particular circumstance. We know from surveyed 10,000 from teachers we surveyed 10,000 teachers day, around 40 of teachers each day, around 40 of schools say that theyve got a bucket somewhere their
School Bucket
somewhere in their school because leaking roof. Because theres a leaking roof. Its about that we its also about the fact that we think 12 of teachers are saying theres at least one room in their already cant their school. They already cant use the of use because of the lack of maintenance and safety is the number thats the number one concern. Thats the absolute worst of this and absolute worst part of this and has to be dealt with first. But also, who wants to be sending their children schools where their children to schools where there this is there are leaking roofs . This is something need something that does need investment the investment investment for the long its long term because its investment childrens investment in childrens futures. Thats what we hear futures. And thats what we hear teachers constantly. Futures. And thats what we hear teawell, constantly. Futures. And thats what we hear teawell, this constantly. Futures. And thats what we hear teawell, this is constantly. Futures. And thats what we hear teawell, this is consissue, well, this is the issue, isnt a much wider one isnt it . It is a much wider one than just the concrete. I mean, in some of the papers this morning, that morning, its remarking that official from the official figures from the
Department Education
2019 department of education 2019 says asbestos is present in says the asbestos is present in england schools. Four out of five schools. So it just makes you think, doesnt it, if youre looking at the concrete, if that works, being done well, we could have a real asbestos issue have a real big asbestos issue as well. And this could take months to fix. Thats right. And there are claims every year for compensation on on schools because of the fact that there are people who end up with mesothelioma , which is the mesothelioma, which is the cancer related to asbestos in schools because they happen to be where it gets be somewhere where it gets disturbed. Whether thats a kid kicking a football into one of the ceiling panels and then the next you know, it falls next thing you know, it falls down. This something we down. This is something we reported i was the reported on when i was the editor schools in editor of schools week back in 2016, and as you say, 2016, 2017. And as you say, were now many years further forwards. Of course, forwards. Of course, theres been pandemic the middle, been a pandemic in the middle, but cant away the but we cant get away from the fact that are some big fact that there are some big issues
School Buildings
fact that there are some big issuehave
School Buildings
fact that there are some big issuehave been ool buildings fact that there are some big issuehave been goingildings fact that there are some big issuehave been goingildi|some that have been going for some time. And had we continued that programme there programme of rebuilding, there would not would be fewer of them. Not saying there wouldnt be any, but be fewer. And but thered be fewer. And unfortunately, in unfortunately, now were in a circumstance going circumstance where this is going to dealt with quickly circumstance where this is going t absolutely, laura. Absolutely. Broke. Absolutely. The countrys broke. Theres the cupboard, theres nothing in the cupboard, nothing theres nothing anywhere. Theres nothing anywhere. Theres nothing doctors nothing for the for the doctors , nurses, the train drivers. , the nurses, the train drivers. They could go on and on and on. Theres nothing for anybody, least of all schools. But there least of all schools. But there is a massive foreign aid budget. Surely weve got to get to a stage where someone says is look after your own first aid. I think theres always complicated issues around this. Complicated issues around this. And one of the things with the foreign aid is that in the end, if we dont spend money on foreign aid, then you actually end up having to intervene again later down the line. So youll often a bit like with the often see a bit like with the
School Building
you know,
School Building
issue, you know, its easy to say, lets cut its very easy to say, lets cut that now. But in ten time, that now. But in ten years time, if investment in if we dont have investment in
Foreign Countries
or there hasnt support and help, hasnt been support and help, you worse you can end up with worse situations in countries. Situations in those countries. Ten the line. That ten years down the line. That ends up costing country even ends up costing the country even more. Think what would be more. I do think what would be goodisif more. I do think what would be good is if we had on both sides of the political agenda people trying out where we trying to work out where we where could innovative where we could do innovative things. A lot things. Now, theres a lot of criticism and the criticism for it. And in the past, perhaps wasnt done past, perhaps it wasnt done perfectly. The late 90s, perfectly. But in the late 90s, gordon brown did look at the private initiatives for private finance initiatives for schools. Way schools. That was a way of getting to help fund getting businesses to help fund school they werent
School Buildings
as they werent perfectly set up. And have perfectly set up. And there have been issues, but theres been some issues, but theres got to be more innovative ways. What dont hear the what we dont really hear at the moment politicians coming up moment is politicians coming up with new ideas. Often very, with new ideas. Its often very, very basic. Theyre just saying with new ideas. Its often very, very ba not theyre just saying with new ideas. Its often very, very banot goinge just saying with new ideas. Its often very, very banot going to jst saying with new ideas. Its often very, very banot going to do saying with new ideas. Its often very, very banot going to do anything theyre not going to do anything or were trying to cotton pinch around the side. Weve got to think how we raise more cash. Laura got to leave it there. Really appreciate your take on things. And as i say, weve got a of interviews which a number of interviews which i think reflect the of think will reflect the sort of things youve had to say things that youve had to say today. Laura mcinerney the today. Laura mcinerney is the co founder teacher tap and co founder of teacher tap and she is an education journalist. Appreciate your take, laura. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. And its just a mess , isnt it . Mess, isnt it . Were talking about a mess. When you were at school, was there ever anybody smelly in your class . Your class . Yeah, there was actually. Come to think of it, yes. Why . Well, we used to give them all sorts of horrible nicknames and everything, which im not going to repeat now, but more pupils schools are likely to arise at the new term being dirty, dirty clothes , unbrushed dirty, dirty clothes, unbrushed teeth leaving them isolated and depressed. This is teachers reporting on this. They say 72. Thats nearly this. They say 72. Thats nearly three quarters of staff believe there has been an increase in hygiene, poverty in their schools over the past year or 500
School Workers
who said they were aware of pupils affected by the issue. 71 expect the problem to have become worse and smellier as the
Academic Year
begins. So things like people begins. So things like people who never watch wash their pe kits , you know, so they go and kits, you know, so they go and they play in the rain and things and then they roll them up in a ball, they play on a monday and then they take them out in the thursday to play them again and theyre in fungus and theyre covered in fungus and things that. But the amount things like that. But the amount of dont wash their of pupils who dont wash their hair, teeth, hair, dont brush their teeth, dont with all sorts of dont deal with all sorts of things, really sad. And things, thats really sad. And i think it is sad. People cant afford to wash clothing give their
Kids Clothing
or give their kids a wash. But thats what it is. Is it affordability . Well, it affordability . Well, is it affordability . Its mother used say soap its my mother used to say soap and costs very and water costs costs very little. Going to say little. And i was going to say that you know, can people not smell urine . Or worse . Yes. Smell urine . Or worse . Yes. Yeah. You know, in their homes. I mean, what is going on . Why why are our kids getting dirtier, filthier and smellier at school . So poor pupil hygiene at school . So poor pupil hygiene is set to get worse in the year ahead. And i would have thought young people today themselves are a bit more aware of their own hygiene than they were in my day. Wow. You think we had a very smelly class . Isnt there . Isnt there . Particularly in
Primary School
money class . Yes. And the teacher used to have a we had a fire in our fire
Dougie Beattie
in a burning fire that you warmed yourself. Yeah. Stove that they used to have a rack with with underpants drying on them. Constant see what your teacher would have to clean all these. Well they did well i dont know. Id happened but they used to have little pants drying out there all the time, all lined up. All lined up. Oh, gb views views of gbnews. Com have you got smelly memories . Let us know. Gb views. How do you fix it . Like you said. So from water doesnt cost a lot, does it . They shouldnt really be an excuse should there, for dirty kids at school. Now the migration mayhem, it continues. 872 migrants were continues. 872 migrants were detected crossing the channel on saturday, making it the highest number on a single day seen this year. Number on a single day seen this year. And the timing couldnt be year. And the timing couldnt be worse for rishi sunak as mps returned to westminster from summer recess today, expecting not only that huge spike in migration, but a large number of angry parents too. Lets go to madeline grant. Madeline is a columnist and a parliamentary sketchwriter at the telegraph for more on this. Back to school in the classroom and in parliament. Yeah, and its a wonder how many smelly pants there are there. Well, i think i think the there.

I mean normally, you know, the media cycle kind of eases into the return to westminster, but there have been a number of very damaging stories. The

Its mother used say soap its my mother used to say soap and costs very and water costs costs very little. Going to say little. And i was going to say that you know, can people not smell urine . Or worse . Yes. Smell urine . Or worse . Yes. Yeah. You know, in their homes. I mean, what is going on . Why why are our kids getting dirtier, filthier and smellier at school . So poor pupil hygiene at school . So poor pupil hygiene is set to get worse in the year ahead. And i would have thought young people today themselves are a bit more aware of their own hygiene than they were in my day. Wow. You think we had a very smelly class . Isnt there . Isnt there . Particularly in
Primary School<\/a> money class . Yes. And the teacher used to have a we had a fire in our fire
Dougie Beattie<\/a> in a burning fire that you warmed yourself. Yeah. Stove that they used to have a rack with with underpants drying on them. Constant see what your teacher would have to clean all these. Well they did well i dont know. Id happened but they used to have little pants drying out there all the time, all lined up. All lined up. Oh, gb views views of gbnews. Com have you got smelly memories . Let us know. Gb views. How do you fix it . Like you said. So from water doesnt cost a lot, does it . They shouldnt really be an excuse should there, for dirty kids at school. Now the migration mayhem, it continues. 872 migrants were continues. 872 migrants were detected crossing the channel on saturday, making it the highest number on a single day seen this year. Number on a single day seen this year. And the timing couldnt be year. And the timing couldnt be worse for rishi sunak as mps returned to westminster from summer recess today, expecting not only that huge spike in migration, but a large number of angry parents too. Lets go to madeline grant. Madeline is a columnist and a parliamentary sketchwriter at the telegraph for more on this. Back to school in the classroom and in parliament. Yeah, and its a wonder how many smelly pants there are there. Well, i think i think the there. Well, i think i think the rot is more kind of internal than external with mps perhaps, but yeah , it couldnt have but yeah, it couldnt have started worse. I mean normally, you know, the media cycle kind of eases into the return to westminster, but there have been a number of very damaging stories. The
School Closures<\/a> story, which is, you know, exactly the kind of issue that i think could be doubly damaging for the government because its the of thing parents the sort of thing that parents do at the school do talk about at the school gates people about on gates and people talk about on mumsnet. Kind of issue mumsnet. Its the kind of issue that cuts through in that immediately cuts through in a way that something more technocratic might as technocratic might not. And as for i mean, for the migrants, i mean, i think this has the think this this has the potential be exceptionally potential to be exceptionally damaging because the prime damaging also because the
Prime Minister<\/a> for months line has minister for months the line has been that that crossings are down on last year and this has to do with the pms own policies rather than suggestions that it was because of less seasonal weather. And now on saturday we had the single biggest number all year round that really puts paid to the
Prime Minister<\/a>s line on this. Line on this. Tell you what, youve got good weather this week. No reason to expect that those figures will go down this week. Precisely. Yes precisely. Its been, you know, unseasonably warm and looks to be into , you know, be so going into, you know, early mid september. So you know, this could this could just be the start of more i mean, the papers saying that for rishi papers are saying that for rishi sunak, this make or break now sunak, this is make or break now on small boats. On the small boats. I mean, this is one of his five pledges. He has almost made himself of a hostage to himself a bit of a hostage to destiny those five pledges, destiny with those five pledges, it seem. Yes completely agree. Especially because the especially because on on the issue the migrants, you know, issue of the migrants, you know, it really does feel like that while bound by un while we remain bound by
Un Convention<\/a> and while were no longer part of the dublin agreement that we were in the eu by which we were able to send some migrants back to france , some migrants back to france, that actually, you know, the hands are tied, theres not much that the that the government appears to be able to do right now. You know, once migrants get in a dinghy and if they make that journey safely, theyre effectively uk. And there that journey safely, theyre ef you vely uk. And there that journey safely, theyre ef you know, uk. And there that journey safely, theyre ef you know, cantand there that journey safely, theyre ef you know, cant send here that journey safely, theyre ef you know, cant send them is you know, we cant send them back theres nowhere back because theres nowhere we can them. Can send them. Madeleine, they could have done something this done something about this concrete though, in concrete situation, though, in schools. How on earth concrete situation, though, in schools. How on earth has it come to this that it is so last minute that we wait till the end of the
Summer Holidays<\/a> as classrooms are coming back , but classrooms are coming back, but yet theyre not coming back . It wasnt as if they havent known yet theyre not coming back . It wasntthisf they havent known yet theyre not coming back . It wasntthis foriey havent known yet theyre not coming back . It wasntthis for ten1avent known yet theyre not coming back . It wasntthis for ten years. Known yet theyre not coming back . It wasntthis for ten years. 20 own about this for ten years. 20 years, 30 years. Yeah. I mean , it just it yeah. I mean, it just it seems like the sort of thing thats been just put on the back burner for a very long time and no one has expected, i think the comparison with the cladding scandal was interesting, one that your guest made earlier, that your guest made earlier, that the kind of that that this is the kind of issue really thinks issue that no one really thinks about neglected by about and its neglected by various different groups in society, by local authorities , society, by local authorities, by ministers, perhaps by schools. And then suddenly it all flares up in a really drastic way. And it requires immediate action, but it isnt going to get immediate action. You see, the thing that really blood boil, you really makes my blood boil, you get hunt , the chancellor, get jeremy hunt, the chancellor, he goes on television hes he goes on television and hes got hes very good at got this. Hes very good at pious very i am a sensible pious looks very i am a sensible aduu pious looks very i am a sensible adult in the room here. I vow we will what it takes to fix will spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools. Lie, lie, lie , unsafe schools. Lie, lie, lie, lie. This is coming from existing budgets and it was already allocated for classroom assistance or equipment or whatever. It happens to be. Its just. Just a terrible feeling in responsibility. Well all especially, as you know, in the last week or so, the ons forecast for the uk economy have been significantly revised upwards. Suggests that they were being way too pessimistic and governments were our government was basing its projections on projections that were themselves faulty. But there is clearly a bit more in the system than people had bargained for. Bit more in the system than people had bargained for. So bit people had bargained for. So bit of wriggle room. Yeah, but they want to bring taxes down, dont they . In terms before the next election, which is also important because i mean, i think that one of the things that the fact that those forecasts were so off the mark suggests is that actually raising taxes over the last year was perhaps unnecessary and that they were being too overcautious, they were being too treasury brained more than they needed to be. Okay. Madeline grant really good to see you this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. But what i would like to know is there was to an is if there was to be an accident in schools accident in some schools somewhere land with this accident in some schools someconcrete land with this accident in some schools someconcrete , land with this accident in some schools someconcrete , surelyj with this accident in some schools someconcrete , surely thath this accident in some schools someconcrete , surely that is his rack, concrete, surely that is criminal irresponsibility on behalf of the government. Surely someone deserves to go to jail knowing that they know there is a problem with this concrete and yet theyre saying, well, look, well carry on until something happens. Yeah, well, i mean, you know, i would imagine it might well be, you know, a situation akin to the cladding scandal where theres various different parties involved and they all blame other and we never blame each other and we never get to the bottom of it. And of course, its the kids that suffer. And particularly particularly in suffer. And particularly paropinion, in suffer. And particularly paropinion, after in suffer. And particularly paropinion, after all in suffer. And particularly paropinion, after all the in my opinion, after all the disruption of lockdown the last few years, the thought that there might not be there was kids that might not be going back to school this week is just, know, beyond appalling. But madeleine, this is not just talking just schools. Were talking about. Civil service about. These are
Civil Service<\/a> buildings. Buildings buildings. These are buildings that been converted from that have been converted from offices to domestic accommodate. And these are what else are we talking about . Police stations, hospital walls. Yeah. So many types of buildings. So many people at risk from all of this. And it has been known for 40 years this stuff had a sell by date. It was it was building on the cheap. And it was only ever supposed to last 30 years. And now that its lasted 50 years and 60 years, its is absolutely scandalous. It is. They know the price of everything in the value of nothing. And this applies of course, to successive governments on this one. But i think particularly the conservatives, while in part they knew there a big they knew there was a big problem with this they have problem with this and they have done nothing about it, and you know, so for the chancellor to say we will spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools, i put it to fix unsafe schools, i put it to you today is a lie. It is an absolute lie. And well be putting that to government ministers throughout the programme this morning. Madeleine, thank madeleine, for the moment, thank you much indeed. You very much indeed. Perhaps youre a and perhaps youre a grandparent a parent grandparent or a parent of a child who cannot go to school today. Are learning today. Perhaps you are learning from just like in from home today, just like in the lockdown. Do us the covid lockdown. Do let us know that you. That know if that affects you. That story gbviews gbnews.

Anyway, i remember him sitting there and then the pool that would then move out everybody would move out from everybody would move out from everybody would move out. When hed done that, we used to think was only we used to think it was only about then hes saying, about four. Then hes saying, come on, come on within. You aint smelt nothing like the. And then wed put his name in right. In there. Right. Rhyme with mighty quinn. Well anyway, the back well anyway, anyway, the back pages. At those today pages. Lets look at those today. Priceless. The mirror says arsenal signing declan rice \u00a3105 million. They spent on him. A bargain after he sank my new hearts , including my own in hearts, including my own in their 3 1 stealing win yesterday. Civil war in manchester telegraph says red devils winger jadon sancho thinks hes been scapegoated by erik ten hag i think thats going to develop into an interesting story. I dont know where that will end up. Guardian also picks up in the gunners win but theres also focus on this weeks
Rugby World Cup<\/a> match for england. Steve cup match for england. Steve borthwick, manager facing borthwick, the manager facing a host of injury, concerns ahead of saturdays match against argentina. And you and i were argentina. And you and i were texting each other during the match yesterday. Yeah first fan and a
Manchester United<\/a> fan watching arsenal win. That was an interesting one. Well, i thought well, a couple of things i want to say here. I thought we had that one in time. Added on. Right. Of course. Var thought otherwise. As yeah. We not all a bit as yeah. Are we not all a bit fed up . Dont know about you, fed up . I dont know about you, but wasting time as part of the game my vineyard. I dont game in my vineyard. I dont want 90 minutes. I just want my full 90 minutes. I just want my full 90 minutes. I just want tactics come play. Want tactics come into play. People time, people to people to waste time, people to do whatever to win do whatever it takes to win a game. I dont care. I dont want my money that i play. My value for money that i play. 11 minutes extra time at the end. Thats just me. Would say that now, you would say that now, though. But mean, come two though. But i mean, come on. Two goals injury time. Yeah. If goals in injury time. Yeah. If it had been the other way round. I mean, look at fergie. Time for crying mean, you had crying out loud. I mean, you had a of time time was a lot of time where time was added which helped, didnt added on, which helped, didnt it, in the day. It, back in the day. Yeah, but come on, nine minutes. Ten minutes. Come in as regular. Added so. Regular. Added on time. So. So. Right. All right. All right. I think its well, i think its a legitimate part of the game to waste 30s or so. Do you not think that but do you not think that its good for the crowd to even think that we get a full game because the ball is out of play for so much . So therefore you can make up for that and get 90 minutes of a game of nothing should be more than 90 minutes. Pantomime be more no pantomime should be more than minutes, movie should than 90 minutes, no movie should be than 90 minutes. Things be more than 90 minutes. Things bore more than 90 bore me if theyre more than 90 minutes. Right. This show, which apart from this show, which i stick with the whole way. By the way. Good. Listen, ive got way. Very good. Listen, ive got to tell you, though, the i was the same as you especially so it was a great goal, wasnt it, from marcus rashford, one nil up then. Then arsenal go and score within a minute. Great goal as well. It was a very good goal. So 88th minute garnacho goes through. Go crazy . And it through. Do you go crazy . And it looked it was to going be a looked like it was to going be a
Manchester United<\/a> now var
Manchester United<\/a> win. Now var if look at it one way, if if you look at it one way, if var says it was offside by a millimetre by millimetre , but a millimetre by millimetre, but a millimetre by millimetre, but a millimetre a metre. Yeah you know its still offside. Erik ten hag is saying hes blaming the angles of the camera, but it was offside, which is very unfortunate. And then declan unfortunate. And then declan rice comes through and then scores right into into added time , which by the way time, which by the way everybodys amazed. Amazing. If everybodys amazed. Amazing. If it hadnt hit jonny evans, it wouldnt have gone in. It wouldnt have gone in. It wouldnt have gone in. It was just going back. I think hes a great player. I think hes a great buy. Oh, he is a great hes a hes a player i would have liked to have seen. Hes a terrific dude. Youve got jonny evans and youve got harry i youve got harry maguire. I mean, theyre pairing there mean, theyre the pairing there at back. Theyre older than at the back. Theyre older than we are. Eamonn i think we probably done it. Probably could have done it. Yeah, yeah. This manchester no\ufb01ced yeah, yeah. This manchester noticed jadon. Noticed situation with jadon. Sancho reports sancho i mean, there are reports that have taken the that the glazers have taken the club off the market are looking \u00a310 for this and we have \u00a310 billion for this and we have to sale of players to fire sale a lot of players for financial play fair play rulings. Elanga being one of them scored for forest on saturday and now youve got jadon sancho saying, hey , just jadon sancho saying, hey, just give me a break. Well and hes hes not been picked. He wasnt picked yesterday. He wasnt on the bench either. Yesterday i mean this is what, \u00a375
Million Player<\/a> comes over and he was brilliant over in germany erik ten hag had said that he had dropped him. The reason because of his reason for because of his performance in training. We did not select him was what erik ten hag said. Yeah. Normally hag said. Yeah. So normally a player say nothing. Now player would say nothing. Now this it kicking this is when it starts kicking off because sancho then off because jadon sancho then went media, said, went on social media, said, i wont allow people to saying things are completely things that are completely untrue. Ive conducted myself untrue. Ive conducted myself very well in training this week. I believe are other i believe there are other reasons this matter. I wont reasons for this matter. I wont go into. Ive been a scapegoat for a long time, which isnt fair. And like you say, this can there can only be one winner in this, and i dont think its to going jadon sancho. Weve got going be jadon sancho. Weve got you know, we look at other people taken erik people that have taken on erik ten look ronaldo. He ten hag. Look at ronaldo. He came second against him. So came out second against him. So where this is to where this is going to go, i dont know. Its wise decision. Very its a wise decision. Very interesting to what happens. Interesting to see what happens. I would be useless in training as well. Its like tv. I hate rehearsals. Yeah. Yeah not as well. Its like tv. I hate rehe rehearsalah. Yeah not as well. Its like tv. I hate rehe rehearsal. 1.

You very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Paul stay with us. Paul coyte, do you stay with us. Still all of the top still to come, all of the top stories from the papers with channel welcome back. Its papers channel welcome back. Its papers time. Lets bring you up to date , lets bring you up to date, shall we . And on the front page of the eye hunt vows to make schools safe at any cost. But the treasury say the government shouldnt expect new money any time soon. So how is it going to do that . Okay, councils allow staff to work from the beach front page of the daily mail. Okay this is the number of local authority employees log on to their day jobs from some sunny destinations is on the up. Its into its hundreds i think seven 108 or so jobs you can get with your local council, but you can work from anywhere abroad and independent. Thatd be very nice as independent leeds with thousands of babies facing hospitalisation life threatening virus this winter as the government delays a vaccine in the telegraph this morning, the
Prime Minister<\/a> will cave in, overturning the ban on onshore wind farms to stave off a rebellion in. Well, joining us to go through the papers in more detail this morning is olympian
Kriss Akabusi<\/a> and former editor of the daily star dawn neesom. So what does that mean . So what does that mean . They dont. They theyre going to ban onshore wind farms, is that right . Is that right . Well, ive only just delved into it, but but, yeah, apparently hes going to face a rebellion from within his party about the onshore wind farms and the opposition also so poised to join it in. Really, its the everyones back to work and we are ramping up to the election and you can see right now that the
Prime Minister<\/a> is going to be staving off all sorts of rebellions so everybody can get what they want. What they want. I just want to know what difference does it make if ive got a wind farm out in the water or in a
Farmers Field<\/a> behind basically this story is since 2015, its been enshrined in law that if one person in an area complains to the local council about an onshore wind farm, then its off. Well, thats guaranteed , isnt it . Guaranteed, isnt it . Exactly. So what theyve done is theyre relaxing that rule. This is what the amendments are that theyre theyre talking about the relaxing , that rule. About the relaxing, that rule. So it takes more than that. Just one person complaining. So thats the basis of this. But are we for or against onshore wind farms then . I live in the centre of london, so its not going to affect me personally. Personally. Yeah, its but as chris was pointed out, this is just more electioneering, isnt it . Its like rishi sunak trying to keep as many tories on side as he possibly can to get this amendment through. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, right. Okay. Now lets talk about this
School Situation<\/a> and of
School Concrete<\/a> situation and of course, it affects
Civil Service<\/a> buildings and hospitals and police stations and all sorts of things. And i put it to you that when i hear and im not going to stop about this today, when i hear the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, saying, well what it to fix well spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools , he is lying. Unsafe schools, he is lying. Well, this has been a well, look, this has been a ticking time bomb. Its these rack. Can i just
Say Something<\/a> . Can i just
Say Something<\/a> . Were talking about ticking time bomb, something is bombed. Somethings ticked and gone off. Because why have they just suddenly decided this weekend to do this . I put it to you. Do this . I put it to you. Something has happened and were not told it. Not being told about it. Well, something thats been on the burner has. But on the back burner that has. But you weekend before you just dont weekend before the go back to school, the kids go back to school, suddenly say, and suddenly say, oh, and incidentally, weve been working on concrete business. Incidentally, weve been working on so concrete business. Incidentally, weve been working on so lets rete business. Incidentally, weve been working on so lets closeiusiness. Incidentally, weve been working on so lets close 100 ess. Incidentally, weve been working on so lets close 100 schools. So lets close 100 schools. Yeah, but maybe whats whats happening is that the opposition is going make good old play is going to make a good old play on and they realise right now on it and they realise right now that the last 30 years that over the last 30 years where i say we the
Political Class<\/a>, because parties have class, because both parties have been the last 30 been in power over the last 30 years, the
Political Class<\/a> have not of high enough not deemed this of high enough priority. Is about this is priority. This is about this is classic short termism. All im interested is my short term interested in is my short term interested in is my short term in office and its been kicked down the road and now the chickens come to roost chickens have come home to roost because right now, right here, right now, the 30 year out of life expense of these buildings has come where it is very possible that a building could collapse. Now were being assured that its not that desperate at this moment in time, but these aviator programs only got 30 year life, 30 year life span span. And were at it. Were right at the zenith. So i suspect that, again,
Political Capital<\/a> can be made out of this by the opposition , bearing in by the opposition, bearing in mind that blairism was there over the whole period and austerity measures were taken after the
Global Financial<\/a> crisis meant also it was kicked down the road and knock knock looked at education was not a budget was held back. Where are we going to get the money from . Right here, right now, ive got no clue. Youre right, chris. I mean, this isnt just the conservative government. This has been known about ones done about since 1994. No ones done anything it since then. Anything about it since then. Were , as say, it is a were aware, as you say, it is a ticking time bomb and listened ticking time bomb and i listened to countless interviews with various the various ministers over the weekend to explain this. Weekend trying to explain this. You point out even why suddenly, two before the go back two days before the kids go back to suddenly an to school, its suddenly an issue. Have no idea issue. And i still have no idea what the actual answer is. It what the actual answer is. It seems to be, oh, there was a new report done over the summer penod report done over the summer period and we realised it was more dangerous than we thought. It one it was very fudgy. No one actually given me a straight actually has given me a straight answer yet. If someone out there listening watching over listening or watching over the weekend let weekend has got the answer, let us because i couldnt get us know because i couldnt get to the bottom of why suddenly this is issue. Weve known this is an issue. Weve known about since 1994. I remember about it since 1994. I remember sitting 80s sitting in schools in the 80s with of concrete falling with bits of concrete falling off and being shifted out to prefab were prefab because schools were dangerous. Its dangerous back then. Its astonishing just now astonishing and its just now scramble, isnt it, for parent s out there who had to find childcare for kids that are sitting at home today . Exactly. That suddenly, you know, and parents are worried. Is it safe . I mean, what what schools need to do now or what the government needs to do is get
Structural Engineers<\/a> into all of these schools and reassure parents who are worried that this school in question safe. Are worried that this school in queyeah safe. Are worried that this school in queyeah , safe. Are worried that this school in queyeah , well,. Are worried that this school in queyeah , well, and look, there yeah, well, and look, there was 15,000 schools that were built with this. And at the moment, weve identified 156. So and they still havent got the full list, have we . No, thats still to come. No, thats still to come. So theres a lot to be done. And as has already stated, and as has already been stated, its not just schools, its government buildings, military establishments. Government buildings, military est. Because nts. Government buildings, military est. Because ntzwas cheap, it was because it was cheap, it was cheap concrete at the time. Yeah. Talk, dawn, about yeah. Lets talk, dawn, about shoplifting right. Theres a shoplifting. Right. So theres a big about this tescos big story about this tescos over the weekend talking about the increase in this and the abuse their staff have. Which is which is awful. Its a terrible position to be put in, but i put it to you , im going to say it to you, im going to
Say Something<\/a> controversial now. I something controversial now. I think when it comes to tesco and sainsburys and waitrose and aldi and whoever else is out there , that it is not a police there, that it is not a police problem. I think they should pay for their own security because theyre making enough money out of this crisis at the moment. There is a lot of profiteering going on in supermarket. Its i completely agree with you on that one. However there is that really the fault of the actual workers on the shop floor who are facing. But just saying its no, but im just saying its not my problem either for if tesco are making, you know 50 profit something or whatever profit on something or whatever. Just think there is a cost. I just think there is a cost of living crisis out there. There making enough money that they can handle the risks that go with that is what im saying. Yeah. Yeah. Well, i mean police well, i mean the police listen, theres saying listen, theres no point saying i heard saying where i heard somebody saying where theres cctv footage. The police have an obligation to investigate whatever it is. Why say that when they dont have the manpower to do that . Well, this is the problem. I mean, theres an interview in here. This isnt the metro as well, with a chap called richard inglis, who three co op inglis, who runs three co op stores in hampshire, and hes been told by the police in been told by the local police in that there would only that area that there would only come along and investigate shoplifting, value shoplifting, theft if the value was well was more than \u00a3200. Well basically its giving
Carte Blanche<\/a> shoplifters in blanche to shoplifters to go in free only abuse his free for all, not only abuse his staff, but also just walk out with, you know, if its less than \u00a3200, youre fine. Get away with it. And this with it. And this is actually and for me, this is actually a much bigger, wider problem. This a societal this is this is a societal problem. Its not a tescos problem. Its not a tescos problem remember few problem. You remember a few weeks ago there was all this missy guy and his who missy guy and his tribe who would run in and they would announce that they were running in. They kicked the doors in and just run riot. Yeah. And my challenge this is a challenge is that this is a direct result of the defenestration of the mail, the male figure, the male figure in the home, the male figure in society where young men are releasing this unbridled power where because theyve never experienced the force of a man at home, 4 of families are not up with single single parent families. Its not the fault of mum at home whos doing her best. But if you havent got a man at home, say no. And really raising his voice to that young kid. So the young kid kid. So the young kid understands power , power and understands power, power and authority. Youve got young 14 year olds, 18 year olds going in there with their unbridled power. Never, ever have. And i know this is not what were doing these days. Having a clip around the ear, the afl or the dad going, no, but chris but chris, everything youve shouted at, everything youve said there , be people saying , there will be people saying youve an abusive youve just acted in an abusive way and that is not, not acceptable. That is what im acceptable. That is what im saying about the defenestration of the male power. You need male authority. You need to , to authority. You need to, to understand that with the your own personal rights becomes a responsibility to be a civil citizen. And i think that young citizen. And i think that young men these days have been brought up over the last 30, 40 years without the power of the male
Authority Figure<\/a> at home and at school. School. Well, its interesting you say that, but, you well, its interesting you say that, but , you know, my say that, but, you know, my father was the ultimate deterrent. It never got to my father because we were always too scared of my mother. Really. So. Really. So. Really. So. So five boys in the house. And she was the one that laid down the law, it had to be said. She shouted. She shouted. Yes, of course. She would shout. I mean, she would say to me, you mean she died last november 90 . And she would say to me, dont you think youre old . Dont you think youre too old . Or for me to slap you around the head . She would would say head . She would she would say that, know, and would that, you know, and she would mean that, you know, and she would me she would do it. I mean , we she would do it. I mean, we had i know you cant do this had and i know you cant do this now, but we had it was never used. But there was a stick in the cupboard and like your mum mama bamboo any chance. Bamboo by any chance. I think last year and my mother used to start the school holidays. Go down hardware you go down to the hardware shop get a bamboo cane. Shop and get a bamboo cane. It was never used, but the threat was there. Misused. Yeah. And i think chris so right and i think chris is so right though. Think there lack though. I think there is a lack of discipline whether its of discipline now, whether its from or your dad. But from your mom or your dad. But i think strong male role model, think a strong male role model, male, female. Male, male or female. No, no , ho, male, male or female. No, no , no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. m no, no, no, no, no, no. In particular male. I saw a picture on the tv where these young kids were kicking the door in the tescos with a woman on the other side. Now would you do that to your mother, your sister, daughter . No. But sister, your daughter . No. But these have got these young kids have got absolutely fear of kicking absolutely no fear of kicking the door down and slapping down a woman. So if you had go on, chris, you served obviously in the military. Chris, you served obviously in the solitary. Chris, you served obviously in the so litary. Was a story earlier so there was a story earlier in the week about bringing
National Service<\/a> would you
National Service<\/a> back. Would you support you say support that then when you say
National Service<\/a>, it doesnt have be in the military, but have to be in the military, but certainly do believe, certainly i do believe, again, this ritual of right this is the ritual of the right of passage. Young males in particular need a right of passage. And so, yes, if we had 18 months where you served society, you were the
Authority Figure<\/a>. You were doing
Authority Figure<\/a>. You were doing the security at tescos and for 18 months you worked at minimum pay 18 months you worked at minimum pay to do the security. We on pay to do the security. We oh yes, join the military, whatever. But you need to
Serve Society<\/a> so that you dont kick the doors down of society when you get into your early 20s. No, you know, men and women came before you and built the society and you and built the society and you cant destroy it just like that. You need a clip around the ear, son. All right. Well have a view on that at home. Do you agree with chris gb views at. Com about if you agree or not or disagree . Everyones. Everyones. Everyones. No, no, no. The point is its all talk again, its all smoke and mirrors. There are not the
Police Authorities<\/a> there to implement fines and the
Court Systems<\/a> bunged up. Theres not enough
Police Officers<\/a> there to do it. So why pretend theyre going to investigate everything theyre not going to investigate everything. So there has to be another way of looking at this. I dont i dont know what way that whether its private that is, whether its private security or but what are security firms or but what are they going to do . Security firms or but what are the eamonn o do . Security firms or but what are the eamonn o dif security firms or but what are the eamonn o dif a bunch of eamonn so if a bunch of youths come into there, are you going to shoot them . No so what are you going to with these are you going to do with these young right now who do not young kids right now who do not respect authority . Yeah, but you can am trying to say . Guard armed guards, that there are, for instance, a private can you private company can slap you with a for parking your car with a fine for parking your car in the wrong place. Right. So why private company why cant the private company slap shoplifting because slap you for shoplifting because of tesco . Of tesco . Man, you and i, if, if, if the
Authority Figure<\/a> says youre going to pay your fine, you pay your because been your fine because youve been youve up that way. Youve been brought up that way. Correct . Exactly. Correct . Exactly. But this young kid who is 18 doesnt give a flying faeces about your
Authority Figure<\/a>. So if you are a guard, hes to going come in and try and slap you. And if you grab hold of him and you hurt his little finger, youre the one whos going to get done. Not kid. Youve, get done. Not that kid. Youve, youve undue force and youve just undue force and attention on that kid. This attention on that kid. So this is the problem. This what im trying to say is that actually he of the kids have he and some of the kids have never experienced thing. Never experienced that thing. Oh, sorry, sir. I oh, okay. Yes. Sorry, sir. I would never, ever shout out a policeman. I would never you know, authority was important to me growing up. These young kids have got no sense of authority and their role in society. Yeah , yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Dawn and chris, lets talk about this. During the daily express, weve been talking about it this morning as poor pupil hygiene is set to get worse this year, its going to be more smelly kids at school apart. Sad, actually. Apart. Its quite sad, actually. On. This story find come on. This story i find very, very annoying. Why . Well, because need to because its. You dont need to because its. You dont need to be rich to have a wash or clean your teeth. Correct. Good
Old Fashioned<\/a> soap and water does the trick. This is poor the trick. This is poor parenting. Correct . Nothing more. And the kids are the ones that are suffering. Yeah, i agree with that. That are suffering. Yeah, i agryeah,h that. That are suffering. Yeah, i agryeah, totally. Yeah, totally. Yeah, totally. I agree. I agree. With you. However i agree with you.

Its 7 00 on monday, the 4th of september. This is breakfast on gb news with eamonn and ellie. Heres whats leading the news this morning as students across the country are set to return to class this week, the government is under pressure to reveal the exact number of schools at risk of collapse. This as jeremy hunt says, there will be no extra cash for schools as affected by the crisis elsewhere. And as the crisis elsewhere. And as parliament returns from a six week recess, the
Prime Minister<\/a> has been warned that its make or break on small boats as the home office recorded the highest daily number of crossings in the channel. So far this year. Meanwhile, sir keir starmer says there will be no income tax rises if labour wins power. The labour leader vowed to kick the economy out of the doom loop of low growth and high taxes. Low growth and high taxes. And well bring you your latest forecast with
Jonathan Vautrey<\/a>. Vautrey. Temperatures are on the rise this week and we could reach 30 c for the
First Time Since<\/a> the start of july. Join me later the start of july. Join me later for all the weather details. For all the weather details. To our top story now and the chancellor says there will be no extra cash for schools affected by the concrete crisis. With repair costs coming from the existing education budget. Existing education budget. Jeremy hunts comments come amid a growing demand for ministers to release the full list of buildings affected and when knew parents are being when they knew parents are being left dark. Millions of left in the dark. Millions of pupils returning to school just this week. Well, the shadow
Education Minister<\/a>,
Bridget Phillipson<\/a>, says labour will force a vote this week if the government do not publish the full information i we cant be confident that we know the full picture because ministers are refusing to pubush ministers are refusing to publish the full list of school affected affected. Its a scandal that parents are being left in the just at the left in the dark just at the point the new school term point of the new school term starting need to be starting ministers need to be upfront list and upfront publish that list and get we think its vital get a grip. We think its vital that the government publishes the full list of schools affected. They need to get a grip situation, if grip of this situation, but if they refuse to do so, well force a vote in the house of commons this week and make it happen parents arent happen so that parents arent left dark. Left in the dark. You know, as a result, a lot of you are just incredulous as to why this wasnt until to why this wasnt known until this weekend. And we just want these ministers to come, come clean, say it straight. I mean, clean, say it straight. I mean, i put it to someone earlier this morning in education, an expert. We have got the money for this. People say there is no money to repair these schools. Weve foreign aid budget weve got a foreign aid budget like surely that foreign aid budget shouldnt be foreign anymore. Should be an anymore. It just should be an aid budget for what we need in these countries as well. It needs clearing up, doesnt it . Because as we were told that the teachers increasing salary, the teachers increasing salary, the were asking the pay rise, they were asking for, werent going to get for, they werent going to get it pre existing it out of those pre existing budgets. Now 156 school budgets. But now 156
School Buildings<\/a> are going to be rebuilt with those budgets. It doesnt make sense , does it . It isnt just like there is a cash kyrees sitting there that we can dip into and suddenly find this money to do all this. The money doesnt exist anyway. The money doesnt exist anyway. The money doesnt exist anyway. The money has been allocated. The money has been allocated. And if youre going to start repairing your classrooms, then you havent got a classroom assistant or you havent got books or you havent got facilities for that class. School goodness knows school trips are goodness knows what so the education what else. So the
Education Career<\/a> culum will suffer as a result and the children will suffer as well. Well, our
National Reporter<\/a>
Theo Chikomba<\/a> is out side. One of the schools affected for us now, is
Honywood School<\/a> in now, this is
Honywood School<\/a> in coggeshall essex. Good coggeshall in essex. Good morning to you. So back to school for so many pupils and school for so many pupils up and down the country today, but not at the school that youre at. Thats right. Well, at this school its just one of many that we heard in that announcement last week. In that announcement last week. Many parents would have undoubtedly been preparing for their children to come back to
School Following<\/a> almost six weeks off during the summer. And of course, this now means they have to try and find alternative plans. But of course, the schools are working hard to ensure that the children dont miss out on their education. In this school here in honeywood in essex honeywood school , should essex honeywood school, should i say in essex, is just one of those which has been affected. Those which has been affected. And fortunately we are kindly joined by the headteacher this morning. Thank you so much for your time. James its been its been one of those things. Its not something you would expect a few days before school. What was it like when you first heard about this issue following the surveys . Well, it was quite last minute. We got we were informed on thursday afternoon when i was at home at the time. So at home at the time. So i quickly contacted some of the
Leadership Team<\/a> and said, weve got a bit of a problem here. Can you get in in the morning . And yeah, they were all pretty shocked i when shocked actually, when i when i first them. But first informed them. But actually weve weve spent friday putting a plan together. Weve lot of work to weve still got a lot of work to do. Priority was to get do. But the priority was to get some out our some information out to our families as possible, families as soon as possible, which which we have done. So what is the scale of the issue, particularly at your
School Moment<\/a> . Issue, particularly at your sch so moment . Issue, particularly at your sch so 22 moment . Issue, particularly at your sch so 22 of moment . Issue, particularly at your sch so 22 of our ment . Issue, particularly at your sch so 22 of our classrooms are so 22 of our classrooms are affected, all in our affected, which are all in our main. So its main main block. So its two main corridors and 22
Additional Office<\/a> spaces and other rooms. Office spaces and other rooms. That equates to about half of the school. So theres no way we the school. So theres no way we can get all the children into the
School Without<\/a> doing something and finding alternative accommodation. Weve heard about the cost of this. Heard about the cost of this. Has there been any indication of how much this will cost them . What facilities will you need temporarily at the moment as well . Well, i dont know how much its going to cost in the long term, but i have met with both our trust and our dfe caseworker and have been assured that itll all be paid for. So weve set up the mechanisms to basically go and do whatever we need to do and do whatever we need to do and then the cost and then recoup the cost afterwards. The main thing that afterwards. The main thing that were going need is some form were going to need is some form of teaching space. What we really want is something on site. We dont really want to be busing other places busing children to other places because just think that because we just dont think that thats going to work as effectively and not keep them as part community. So we part of our community. So we need classrooms basically to need 22 classrooms basically to get the school up and running. Get the school up and running. And for parents, of course, what are some of the concerns that theyve had . Undoubtedly, that theyve had . Undoubtedly, they have needed go they would have needed to go back sorting out back to work sorting out logistics like that. Logistics and things like that. So are you doing to kind of so what are you doing to kind of reassure and say youre reassure them and say youre putting things in place as well to that children to ensure that their children can their education . Can still get their education . I mean, no solution is yeah, i mean, no solution is going to be perfect at the moment that got, weve put moment that weve got, weve put out one communication to families on friday, quite detailed and we got quite positive response from that. I positive response from that. I think the key worry for them is that if youve got children at particular points, say theyre doing exams or theyve just got here or they were the children that were affected the most by the pandemic , the worry is the pandemic, the worry is theres another thing thats going to hit them and disrupt their education and its going to be a balancing act for us in terms of trying to manage getting as many children into the as possible , but the building as possible, but also making that done as a as equitably possible. Equitably as possible. Brilliant. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Well, heard him, well, as you heard from him, this something that theyre this is something that theyre having around , working having to work around, working with staff, working with those who work with the school and ensuring that parents understand and what they can do to help their children during this time. And, of course, but its an unwelcomed message for many parents, but something theyre going to have to work around in the next few days and weeks. Absolutely. Theo, a last minute scramble for parents up and down country, especially and down the country, especially at that youre at at that school that youre at now. You so much for now. Thank you so much for bringing that us this bringing that to us this morning. Astounding morning. And astounding that headteacher found headteacher saying they found out on thursday out about this on thursday afternoon. Afternoon. More trouble, meanwhile, for the minister the
Prime Minister<\/a> as he deals with crumbling schools and a spike in migration. Parliament is back today. Lets go to madeline grant. My columnist and parliamentary sketchwriter at the telegraph joins us for all things politics on that one today. Well, a busy agenda. We expect the education secretary to be making an address. Gillian to be making an address. Gillian keegan will make a statement in the commons today. Hopeful detailing the exact amount of schools that are affected by this. And ellies already this. And ellies already outlined the concerns. Why so late . Why now . Why, why announce this night . Yeah, exactly. And its the kind of issue which, you know, politically we labour have already been exceptionally vocal on this, but i think its unlike many issues that get discussed in the commons where it will be the kind of thing that people will be discussing in their everyday parents at the everyday lives. Parents at the school talking school gates will be talking about the fear that about it now. The fear that after much disruption during after so much disruption during lockdown, that will once lockdown, that kids will once again potentially be out again potentially be missing out on days school that on valuable days of school that will i think, hit home will really, i think, hit home in a way that not every political issue does. Its so important, isnt and its so important, isnt it, because it is about childrens safety. At school, you risk the roof you couldnt risk the roof collapsing. And yeah, you know, the worst happening. It could be an tragedy. But the an absolute tragedy. But the reality is theres warnings reality is theres been warnings about 30 years. Were about this for 30 years. Were talking about this in 1994. Why has come to the thursday has it come to the thursday before term . We heard that before term . We just heard that headteacher finding out headteacher there finding out that of his
School Building<\/a> that half of his
School Building<\/a> is unsafe two days before term is unsafe two days before term is meant to start. I mean, its absolutely unbelievable. I think part of the reason that that were here is that there has just been a lot of terrible infrastructure and very poor
Building Work<\/a> terrible infrastructure and very poor gone
Building Work<\/a> terrible infrastructure and very poor gone onrilding work terrible infrastructure and very poor gone onrilcthiswork terrible infrastructure and very poor gone onrilcthis country thats gone on in this country over and over previous decades. And i think government would just think that government would just look the scale that and look at the scale of that and say, know, well, thats not say, you know, well, thats not my know, its my fault. You know, its something someone else to something for someone else to figure out. But of course, the compound mess of every single responsible essentially compound mess of every single responsibletheir essentially compound mess of every single responsibletheir responseally abdicating their response ability means that it all comes to a head right now in such a dramatic and without any dramatic way and without any kind of, know, planning or kind of, you know, planning or provisions for how you deal provisions made for how you deal with whole system is with that, our whole system is rotten. Its crumbling as much as the concrete. You know , i can concrete. But, you know, i can accept mistake and i can accept all sorts of problems. What i cant accept is weasel words from politicians and them treating us all like idiots, as if were supposed to accept what they say. Oh, we want to find out about this on friday. And we let you know straight away. No, you didnt. Let you know straight away. No, you didnt. It was like, you know, after the
Second World War<\/a> and bombing all over britain, there were a lot of homes built that were called prefab abs, and they were corrugated iron constructions. And believe me, i remember them. I remember seeing them well into the 60s and maybe, maybe beyond. They maybe, maybe beyond. They werent supposed to. We were only supposed to last a few months or so. And in schools as well, they were very common schools. Were very common in schools. Once they. Yeah. Its the same situation and its the same situation here. If they brought in cost here. If they brought in a cost saving measure that was supposed to 20 years, how to last 15, 20 years, how come it lasted 40 or 50 years in terms of this . This is the really sad, awful thing about this. And you look at police this. And you look at police stations which are then transformed into restaurants and bars and apartments and all sorts of things. There are more buildings than we know about which have this danger with them. So its not just schools. Were talking about hospitals,
Civil Service<\/a> buildings, whatever. All all of which are dangerous. Its fascinating, isnt it, how we are just were just living amongst the ruins of the good infrastructure that was left to us by the victorians. Basically, they built things high quality. Were still using the sewers, were still the same sewers, were still using many of the same municipal buildings have stood buildings and they have stood the time. Know, it the test of time. You know, it is possible do it properly is possible to do it properly and doing high quality and without these cutting of without all of these cutting of corners. And i mean i think your economics editor
Liam Halligan<\/a> is so fantastic on this about how one of the causes of the housing crisis is that over the years, the smaller builders have been completely taken the been completely taken out of the market and its often left to these company is that these big company is that i think are much more likely to cut where they can and cut corners where they can and do things in a very kind of identikit uniform to the shareholders. Exactly. Exactly. And i think that, you know and so i think that, you know , a perfect storm in , its a its a perfect storm in some ways. I think perhaps some ways. And i think perhaps after the war, there was a lot of building stuff on the cheap and perhaps were paying the price now. Price for that now. If were threaten maybe if we were to threaten corporate manslaughter charges, if came about with if something came about with this, because as you were saying, i keep thinking of the aberfan disaster in the 60s where the coal slag came down, the hill and you know, we think, oh, my gosh, this could never happen again or shouldnt be allowed to happen again. But you could have
Something Like<\/a> that happening again if a roof in on a school and roof caved in on a school and someone to held someone has to be held responsible for it. Its to me, i think its a resigning issue. If i was a minister, i think id be saying, wait a minute, you didnt tell me. I mean,
Gillian Keegan<\/a>s the education secretary has her job a year. Has been in herjob a year. I wonder when arrived and she wonder when she arrived and she was the brief of was given the brief of education, did someone say, oh, and incidentally, got and incidentally, weve got a couple hundred schools around couple of hundred schools around the and the may the country and the roofs may fall in, could set collapse. Collapse. m collapse. Did anybody tell i wonder, did anybody tell her that . Her that . No. You wouldnt want no. And you wouldnt want that your hands. Youre that on your hands. Youre right. You certainly you certainly would. And if did find out if and if you did find out if you not for you can you said not for me, you can have job back unless you have this job back unless you make all this sort of thing public. I think its frightening. What think . Frightening. What do you think . Think and i think i think it is. And i think that much like with the cladding scandal, think scandal, ultimately, i think that to be some that the issue has to be in some ways depoliticised. Has to ways depoliticised. It has to become needs to be kind of become it needs to be kind of maybe like
Royal Commission<\/a> or maybe like a
Royal Commission<\/a> or something people take something where people can take a cogent but a big cogent look. But ultimately, you know, the government to have to government is going to have to stump up the money for this because, know, its the kind because, you know, its the kind of even of issue where you could even justify to justify further borrowing to sort it out, because if this is long term infrastructure, long term shoddy infrastructure, its maybe lets get its not so much maybe lets get the apportioning blame out of the apportioning of blame out of it, this needs be fixed it, but this needs to be fixed and quickly, because you cannot have kids in crumbling schools. 50 years ago so somebody 40, 50 years ago decided , yeah, its bit too decided, yeah, its a bit too expensive to make real good , expensive to make real good, strong concrete. So what well do is well make something that looks like an aero bar. Basically, well pump it full of holes or whatever , and somehow holes or whatever, and somehow this is cheaper. Id to this is cheaper. Id love to know cheaper it was know how much cheaper it was than the than the real thing. The thing is, it only last the thing is, it can only last 20 years, years maximum. But 20 years, 30 years maximum. But weve had it lasting 40 years, 50 years. Weve had warnings about we knew when it was about this. We knew when it was installed, it had a limited shelf yet no one has acted shelf life, yet no one has acted upon it. Shelf life, yet no one has acted uponit. Then shelf life, yet no one has acted upon it. Then we have the chancellor of the exchequer going on television yesterday, lying absolutely lying and lying, absolutely lying and saying we will spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools. And takes to fix unsafe schools. And thatis takes to fix unsafe schools. And that is not the case. Then hes the boss of the treasury. And the boss of the treasury. And the treasury said , oh, no, we the treasury said, oh, no, we havent we havent got any money for this. As you said, if anything warrants more borrowing, this is it. If anything warrants scrapping of foreign aid, budget and spending it at home, surely this is it as well. Madeline grant thank you very much indeed for your thoughts, your views welcome.

Aside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news and airbnbs , have you ever and airbnbs, have you ever stayed in an airbnb . Yes, i stay there all the time. Ive got one booked for next weekend oh, and so a nice youre not a hotel person. What are the advantages you find with airbnb checking when you like . You can cook because theres usually kitchen, its more usually a kitchen, so its more like a home. Its like a home. Yeah. Holiday home dont to holiday home dont need to leave it cleaned or anything. You can just stay all day. Its quite nice. Have you used it . Nope. No, but somebody spare room and the norfolk broads could prime holiday could now be a prime holiday destined just as long as destined nation. Just as long as you can along with the you can get along with the current residents. The mp for nonh current residents. The mp for north is urging the north devon is urging the government to do more to stop airbnbs to kerb the rise in short term property. Lets because he says what its doing is that its somehow decimating local communities know more than half of all rental properties have switched to short term. Lets meaning many devon residents are having to move out of the county just to find home. Well, there you go. Well, our south west of england reporter jeff moody has the story. A rare sunny day in devon. 6 million of us headed down to the west country last weekend alone , piling into airbnbs and alone, piling into airbnbs and houday alone, piling into airbnbs and holiday lets and theres more accommodation than ever. Good news for the tourists. Not so good for locals looking for somewhere to live north devons mp selaine saxby, says its a problem of balance. So whilst we warmly welcome those businesses up here that are renting out rooms to tourists and we need our tourists to come , we also our tourists to come, we also need them to be able to go to the pub to be able to go out to a restaurant for and those restaurants to have staff to work in them. And the situation for housing here severe that we here is now so severe that we have numbers of vacancies here is now so severe that we ha our numbers of vacancies here is now so severe that we ha our hospital1bers of vacancies here is now so severe that we ha our hospital iners of vacancies here is now so severe that we haour hospital in socialacancies here is now so severe that we haour hospital in social care, ies at our hospital in social care, our public services. There are holiday homes there are 1800 holiday homes in north devon, almost exactly the number of households currently on the waiting list for home in beach for an affordable home in beach resorts 1 in 4 houses are registered on airbnb. And thats registered on airbnb. And thats the problem. For
Sam Richardson<\/a> the problem. For
Sam Richardson<\/a> is a musician from saint agnes in cornwall. Hes written a song about the way second homes and houday about the way second homes and holiday lets have destroyed his community. I caught up with him on the road. On the road. It seems like hes on a pretty constant trajectory of more and more properties being bought up by developers. Bought up by developers. Sometimes theyre flipped, sometimes theyre, you know, full time holiday lets , um , full time holiday lets, um, again theres, theres planning permission for a few
Affordable Homes<\/a> as they say, but theyre never really seemed to be particularly affordable. In a statement, airbnb told gb news we welcome regulation and have long led calls for the introduction of a host register to give authorities the information they need. The information they need. The typical uk host rents their space for just three nights typical uk host rents their space forjust three nights a space for just three nights a month and we want to work with policy makers to support everyday hosts and clamp down on speculators that drive local concern lines. But those concerns arent going away. My concern is that cornwall or the whole of cornwall will end up with just sort of like a big holiday park. To be honest with you, i mean, its a beautiful county. Weve got some really great people. Theres a really great people. Theres a really interesting history and culture be a bit culture down here. Id be a bit afraid that stuff kind of afraid of that stuff kind of falling by the wayside. Afraid of that stuff kind of fallag by the wayside. Afraid of that stuff kind of fallag byto e wayside. Afraid of that stuff kind of fallag byto give yside. Afraid of that stuff kind of fallag byto give local a bill to give local authorities the power to require licences for the conversion of
Domestic Properties<\/a> into short term and holiday. Let accommodation is making its way through parliament. Its had its second reading, but that was last december. Since then, progress has been slow and the problem isnt going away. Jeff moody gb news. Thank you for geoff, helping us understand that. But were going to have a debate on this. But one of our guests , this is but one of our guests, this is this is how this school thing affects people. And he basically affects people. And he basically brought his kids to school today and found out that they couldnt go to school. So hes had to go out and collect them again because of the concrete situation. So the school was suddenly closed today or closed because of it. So but we have got kath nevin. Kath is the got kath nevin. Kath is the founder of first, not second homes. And after seeing that report, kath, theyre basically you would agree with all of that and you see the dangers in this and you see the dangers in this and you see the dangers in this and you think, look, it may be convenient, it may be fantastic for some people, but its not going to solve the, the home crisis is it . Crisis is it . Yeah. Good morning. No, its not. And the sad thing is that the alongside the issues that with concrete with schools weve got say for instance polzeath on the north coast which to summers ago was writing to parents to say were actually reducing teacher numbers because of and its cited specifically because we have a lack of
Affordable Housing<\/a> housing for local families. So it, you know, infrastructure is being affected and it affects young lives. Young people need stability and they need a home to be able to thrive. And currently weve got 23,000 people in cornwall alone that dont have that access to safe, secure,
Affordable Housing<\/a>. Kath, you are speaking to us from cornwall this morning. How from cornwall this morning. How has airbnb affected your local area . Area . So the street that i live on in centre in recent years weve had as with any population, weve had people moving out. The reasons for sale are many and varied. You know, kind of people varied. You know, kind of people passing away and for family members need to access those , members need to access those, the funds from those properties. Somebody cant buy someone else out. So inevitably it goes to sale and the natural thing with as with anyone is that youre going to sell that property for the maximum amount of money we hear a lot about, oh, its the locals fault. Theyre selling it. But if youre if you need to access the funds from an inherited property, instance, youre property, for instance, youre going to maximise that sale and currently the maximum, you know, the way that people are making money out of properties in cornwall is you get far more money from a short term. Let now if we have these regulations where we know how many short term lets there are, where we know the impact on local industry and what its doing to communities in terms of we dont have enough hospital staff here to run the facilities that we need. We dont have enough staff to adequately educate our children. We dont have enough children. We dont have enough property for people to live in. People are being housed externally. I know they spoke externally. I know they spoke about people not being able to stay in devon, but the reality is you lose your job, you lose your the children lose the stability, your emotions network, your family, people are being shipped away once they get to that other property, its not a magic. Oh, yeah, weve got somewhere to live and its all fixed. Theyve got to start again and that kind of instability and a
Young Persons<\/a> life, if you want to talk, you know, bring alex back into the debate that young person immediately is going through the kind of stress we all know how stressful it is to move. Theyre stressful it is to move. Theyre going through that stress. They going through that stress. They know that their family are stressed. They know their stressed. They know their parents are stressed. If its immediately sets them back up for life in some cases, it affects their lives for the rest of their life. Well, although youre campaigning, cath , im getting campaigning, cath, im getting the sense that its up to a bigger authority than you, a bigger authority than you, a bigger power than you. Someone else has got to step in and say , look, weve got to regulate this because what this woman is warning about could see the decimation of whole communities i absolutely. And we have a absolutely. And we have a harsh reality city, the centre for cities org have done some studies. Theyve the un have done some some studies recently. And what they believe is the estimation it would. Take estimation it would. Take 442,000 houses being built a year for 25 years to sort the level of housing crisis. Thats level of housing crisis. Thats the trajectory that were on to be able to sort that out over the next 25 years, to be able to house everyone adequately and make sure that our communities are continuing to run efficiently, that we dont we cant build our way out of this crisis basically. We just cant. Crisis basically. We just cant. Its been a creeping problem since 1947. I know that a lot of people talk about the 1980s and the, um, the right to buy scheme being, you know, laying at that d00h being, you know, laying at that door. But it actually started in 1940 seven inches terms of growth and social housing. There was a reduction in growth from 2 to 1. 2. Thats almost 50. Weve got a deficit of 4. 3 million homes in social housing. And so we need thats something we cant just magic that out of the air. No amount of speedy construction is going to be able to sort that out. So its a harsh reality. But i would rather and you can say what you like , but i would rather that like, but i would rather that harsh reality was that somebody had to make their living from long term, letting than somebody went without a home and weve got people that have been i know somebody whos been in emergency housing for 18 months, fully qualified midwife. She cant qualified midwife. She cant work because of the situation that shes found herself in and shes been living in in charity housing, which she found herself because she doesnt fit the criteria for vulnerability in terms of getting to the top of the list. The council wouldnt help her. And, you know, you look that woman in the face and say, we cant be bothered to find out how many short term lets we cant bother lets there are. We cant bother to regulate this industry. Cath , thank you for cath, thank you for explaining the story so well and putting the other side of the coin. Of course its very attractive proposition for a lot of people heading off a of people heading off in a weekend holiday or weekend or a holiday or whatever, but that is the, the price of an er b b cath navin there founder of first not second homes thanks for explaining that cath thank you very much indeed. Very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you. And do let us know do you use airbnb or perhaps you live in a part of the country like cath in cornwall thats been decimated by the use of second homes and airbnb . Will definitely have airbnb . You will definitely have an that. An opinion on that. Vaiews gbnews. Com but do stay with us. Theres lots more to come, including all of the top stories from the papers with
Chris Akabusi<\/a> dawn neesom,
Chris Akabusi<\/a> and dawn neesom, including beach nomads as councils hundreds
Staff Councils<\/a> allow hundreds of staff to work from the beaches. That must thats next well, a lot of people have been guilty consciences about airbnb bees , do you dont know. Airbnb bees, do you dont know. You do. I do. You do . Yeah. Next weekend . Yeah judy says she. Shes an airbnb user, and she says she felt awful when it hit me. What were doing to the residents of villages and beautiful places as well. And. Well. And. Well, its fine if you go and treat the place with respect. Treat the place with respect. Thats fine, isnt it . But you can imagine all the groups that go and just. But its still not getting anybody, you know, she was talking nurses and talking there about nurses and whatever. Midwives. Yeah. Whatever. Midwives. Yeah. Midwives trying to get accommodation long term rental or whatever in certain areas. It just doesnt happen. But i mean, it is scandalous. I mean, basically acas was telling us theres a deficit of 4. 5 million social houses in this country, a deficit 4. 5 million. Thats not going to be fixed overnight, is it . No, its not going to be fixed with it all. Going to airbnb. Is it the problem . This is the aerated concrete mark says, wheres the money coming from to solve this . How about starting by going back to the companies that built the buildings with it . Most of most of those will be large corporations. Make them pay first of all, and then make their shareholders, those who have profited cough up the money. But the thing is, the concrete came with a warning that it would last 20, 30 years. So why is it their fault . Its governments who didnt replace it. Then governments who didnt replace it. Then take the rest of the money from the foreign aid budget. Then if there isnt enough, take from mps enough, take it from mps expenses wages. Expenses and wages. Mean, we knew this was i mean, we knew this was going last 20 or 30 years. Going to last 20 or 30 years. There are so many questions. Were on 50, 60 years now. How did get this point . I did did it get to this point . I did it. Makes very interesting it. Roy makes a very interesting point. He says the first to point. It he says the first to no\ufb01ce point. It he says the first to notice crumbling, crumbling concrete would the head concrete would be the head teachers they enough teachers did they make enough noise did they tell noise about this . Did they tell their councils . They their
Borough Councils<\/a> . Did they tell their councils . Lib dem labour and tory, have they made the
Education Department<\/a> aware . And the education and then what did the
Education Minister<\/a>s
Everyone Wants<\/a> to ministers do . Everyone wants to blame else, does blame everyone else, but it does start with the school itself. Start with the school itself. But to be fair to you, roy, and ive been on on picket lines with teachers lot the past with teachers a lot in the past yeah with teachers a lot in the past year. Have been making year. They have been making a lot of noise about the state of our schools, especially the state of our
School Buildings<\/a>. One of the reasons why they were out in the year out on strike in the past year or so. Perhaps they would say or so. So perhaps they would say they have been making these noises a very, long noises for a very, very long time theyve ignored on time and theyve been ignored on this subject. This subject. Weve got
Kriss Akabusi<\/a>. Weve got dawn neesom. Theyve got the papers are got high the papers are reflecting stories such as this and don , we to the sun and and don, we go to the sun and they have outraged. They have outraged that the education secretary, we are secretary, who we are interviewing in the next hour or so, shes been spending money. But not on aerated concrete. But not on aerated concrete. Whats she been doing . Excellent. You should ask her this question then. Is page this question then. This is page 13, sun. Today school 13, the sun. Today school ministers, 34 million on her own headquarters as education secretary. Gillian keegan. Shes blown 34 million of our money. Remember taxpayers money revamping the offices that she works in. This involves stripping out the 1990s interior over four floors of her departments westminster hq and its going to focus on sensory , its going to focus on sensory, physical or developmental developmental depher cant
Talk Straight<\/a> this morning. Need special needs, basic. Its going to be sort of like a mind full office, but it is actually it. On the face of it, its a lot of money being spent on a government building basically paid for by us. On the face of it, you think it is outrageous when afford repair when we cant afford to repair our schools. But on the other hand, its like this is a government building that needs repairing and were repairing it now. Were talking about need repairing. Well, i mean, according to this , according to according to this, according to the home office , as it does. But the home office, as it does. But thats the big debate, isnt it . So on one hand, were saying we havent got money to repair our schools, quite rightly so. And theyre spending money on this. But on the other hand, this. But on the other hand, this building does need repair and were spending money on repairing it. So its theres a two sides to this argument that you can you can see. You can see. Good, does n you can see. Good, does i mean, good, though, does it i mean, it doesnt look, its not reading the room. Not reading the its not reading the crumbling , is it . Its crumbling room, is it . Its really saying really not. But theyre saying the was initiated in the project was initiated in 2019 and was significantly reduce the annual maintenance costs of the building, which needs repair. But could a couple but that could do up a couple of schools, couldnt it . 34 million could. Could certainly do up it could certainly do up a lot of schools. But going back more importantly, it could save lives. Well, exactly. Well, exactly. Its honestly, i still cant get why has this taken get ask her why has this taken until now . Yeah. Well ask her about that. No ones answered the question. Why has it taken until now like two days for the kids, go back to school. And keir c yeah. And keir starmer c answering questions. Chris front page the mirror. Answering questions. Chris front page the mirror. And hes page the mirror. And hes talking about what is his promise to workers, which is we reported on this no income tax rises. So again, as i said in the last review, this is a very clear election footing. The ministers are back to work today and
Starmer Keir Starmer<\/a> keir starmer is giving an interview to the mirror and hes no basic rate of income tax also bearing in mind that theres no wealth tax. So the question that we need to ask around all of this hype and rhetoric is how are you going to fund all of the things that need to be done over your penod that need to be done over your period of government, assuming you get in within the next year. So its clear hes trying to win the middle ground. Hes trying to alleviate any idea that traditional labour , which is traditional labour, which is a tax and spend from our own past, were not going to be anything like that. Were going to be more akin, i suspect, to a blairism than traditional labouh blairism than traditional labour. Hes saying in the interview that weve had 30 years of tory auster verity kicking off with the
Global Financial<\/a> crisis in 2008 and we are left with absolutely no money in the coffers. It was interesting to see that he echoes
Kwasi Kwarteng<\/a> and liz truss in the idea that were going to find money and raise money and were looking for, um, build the economy that were struggling, were going to strive and build the economy. But again , in the piece, thank but again, in the piece, thank you very much. You very much. Oh, the devils in the detail. There is no detail. There is no detail. There is no detail. Well, thats it. So all the rhetoric, no detail. And at some stage as said by jason biggs , stage as said by jason biggs, the head of politics in the in the head of politics in the in the mirror at some point will have to explain how you rebuild britain when the coffers are empty. Weve had covid spent. We have gfc spend. Weve got ukrainian spend, weve given lots of money away over the last 13 years. How are you going to ensure we get it back to do all the things that you want to do in your term of office . Well its easy. Anybody can cut money. Hardly anybody can generate money. But if you look at things that would like fracking , like oil drilling like fracking, like oil drilling or whatever, they seem to be morally done off the table. But exactly that. But exactly that. And its like, you know , and its like, you know, theres another story i think chris wants to discuss as well in the
Financial Times<\/a> about that. You know, how closely china and are working china and russia are working together if youre talking together and if youre talking about and we can about energy and ways we can generate in this country, generate money in this country, rather on buying stuff rather relying on buying stuff in, you know, the amount of stuff we buy in from china and russia , including sort of like russia, including sort of like energy supplies, is absolutely terrifying buying. And its like we dont seem to be, you know, once upon a time, mean we were a country that made things. What country that made things. What do actually make in this do we actually make in this country anymore . Industry. I think service industry. I think i cant think we make chinese cars and indian cars and french cars and indian cars and french cars and whatever, whatever. And whatever, whatever. But lets, lets develop what dawn talked about here. We go to the
Financial Times<\/a> for this one. Chris and dawn referenced there. How closely china and russia were working together. And these are the banks involved i absolutely. And, you know , absolutely. And, you know, again, i think this also shows the demise in west western global influences, influence and authority. So whatever side of the fence you are, russia invades ukraine and then the west give this edict that no work with russia. Work with russia. You know so theyre hit with sanctions. Absolutely smashed them with sanctions. Sanctions. So the idea is they go broke. Thank you very much. But what did they do now . Russia and chinese have got two different types of communism , different types of communism, but they go across the border and you fancy working and say, do you fancy working with and trying to with us . Russia and trying to go . Sure. And so for banks have quadrupled their work with with russia russia have had no effect of our our decided not to work with them and all of a sudden russia no longer have reserves in dollars or euros or the reserves are set up in. And i didnt know this language when rim sorry, renminbi. Im rim sorry, renminbi. Im assuming thats the chinese currency. So all of a sudden all currency. So all of a sudden all their reserves are there and its business as normal and were stuck. This idea weve got energy crisis. Yes, weve got energy crisis. Yes, weve got cost of living crisis , weve got cost of living crisis, weve got great grain and food crisis. And russia is working along with china hunky dory. So its a weve basically slapped herself in the face, havent we . Weve basically we whether we like it or not, but our leaders have given this edict. We are suffering all the stories weve had today about smelly kids, etcetera, etcetera. We are suffering as a result of the result of the dictates from our masters above and russia, china. Happily, if you remember mr trump went to china , china, trump went to china, china, china, china. Yeah , he had it right, didnt yeah, he had it right, didnt he . He knew that the influence of china across the world. Would. Would. China flu . China flu . Yes , exactly. Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. Everything came from china. And he knew. He knew that that influence of that massive area was going to impact us all. You know, you were talking about influence and people have an influence on us. If i dont start finding things to laugh at soon, i really am going. I know, i know. We have to. I mean, even i know. We have to. I mean, even today , laughing smelly kids, today, laughing at smelly kids, im but we just to laugh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have to find something. We have to find something. There is nothing to laugh at. There is nothing to laugh at. Whole ideas that were and the whole ideas that were made to feel miserable and angry every day and it brings out the worst in all of is by voltaire called candide. Called candide. And he travels around the world the best of all possible worlds. And he ends up coming back after experience. All of this devastation and pestilence. And he you have to tend and he says, you have to tend your garden. And that was a way your garden. And that was a way of saying, you know what . With all the macro stuff is going on, what really matters in life is you, your family and your garden that around that the intimate things around you. Thats where you find your you. Thats where you find your joy you. Thats where you find your joy interesting. Thats where joy interesting. Thats where you happiness. You find your happiness. God, tend your garden garden. I tell you what, i havent got a garden. What do i do not see . What do i do not see . I find. I find now even you cant even watch
Traditional Television<\/a> knows television because nobody knows what is on at. What time, anything is on at. And. And you know no one. Do you know dawn . No one know what i mean, dawn . No one sits and says dallas is on sits down and says dallas is on at 8 00 or whatever it is. And sit and watch it. You know, its it doesnt work like that. Thats my problem with the engush thats my problem with the
English League<\/a> football. Thats my problem with the eused1 league football. Thats my problem with the eused1 i league football. Thats my problem with the eused1 i usedre football. Thats my problem with the eused1 i used to football. Thats my problem with the eused1 i used to love all. I used to love. I used to love talking friday night, talking about friday night, saturday, monday saturday, sunday and monday nights, league nights, the premier league saturday, you saturday, wednesday. You knew youre watch it, youre going to go and watch it, right . Boom. Lot of right . Yeah. Boom. Lot of unbridled joy. But now, like you said, its all over the place. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money. Theres an money. But listen, theres an
Interesting Program<\/a> want
Interesting Program<\/a> i want to tell theyre tell you about. Theyre all depressing, them. Out depressing, all of them. But out on netflix, theres a program called painkillers. Painkiller, right . Right. If you started watching it. No, not yet. Well, no , its no, not yet. Well, no, its very, very interesting. Its about a drug. I dont know. Its an opioid. Im not going to name any drug in case i get it wrong. But its an opioid and it wasnt selling very well. And its like a lot of the fast food we eat is made to hit your sweet spot , right . So it appeals sweet spot, right . So it appeals to you that it makes you want more of them. It isnt very good for you, but you go yum yum, thats fantastic. So they made this tablet that will not this opioid tablet that will not cure your pain, but take your pain away, make you feel relatively happy, but keep you sick enough that youll need more tablets. Yes. More tablets. Yes. Right. Right. Okay. Right. Right. Okay. That makes absolute fascinating how big business works and advertising is the key. Advertising can lie at anything. And we were talking about this last week. The thing is, burgers always me as me when you go to queue up or you go through a drive in or whatever at a burger place and you see this fantastic savoury spongy thing that you want go, you thing that you want to go, you couldnt, couldnt even get my thing that you want to go, you couldn roundldnt even get my thing that you want to go, you couldn round that. Even get my mouth round that. So big and spongy that its so big and spongy that it comes out and its that thin. Its wafer thin. Oh, god, no its wafer thin. Oh, god, no problem with it. So its lies. Advertise is lie after lie after lie. And lie after lie after lie. And there is whats called the
Advertising Standards Authority<\/a> or whatever it is. But they still dont stop the lies p o killer painkiller. Im going to have to. Have to. Yeah. Make a point of watching that one.

Winchester maybe it okay. But the vinchesteh was chichester. Winchester maybe it okay. But the invention. Okay. But the invention includes section in the includes a smart section in the pathway which alerts you to when dogs poo.

And these affected these are schools affected by these are schools affected by the crisis with repair the concrete crisis with repair costs from the existing budget having to go to pay for anything i well, jeremy hunts comments come amid a growing demand for ministers to release the full list of buildings affected. List of buildings affected. Parents are being left in the dark as millions of pupils return to school this week. Return to school this week. Bridget phillipson is the shadow
Education Minister<\/a> and she labour force she says labour will force a vote will be this week if vote that will be this week if the government doesnt publish this information, which could be today. We cant be confident that we know the full picture because ministers are refusing to pubush ministers are refusing to publish the full list of school affected affected. Its a scandal that parents are being left in the dark just at the point the new school term point of the new school term starting need to be starting ministers need to be upfront publish list upfront publish that list and get grip. We think its vital get a grip. We think its vital that the government publishes the full list of schools affected. Get affected. They need to get a grip situation, but grip of this situation, but if they refuse to do so, well force a vote in the house of commons this week and make it happen parents arent happen so that parents arent left well lets get left in the dark. Well lets get analysis now. Heres political editor, heres our political editor,
Christopher Hope<\/a> on this one. This morning to this morning. Good morning to you. Friend. Back school. You. My friend. Back to school. Well, its back to school certainly for the mps. Were not sure about certain pupils around the land. Christopher. Thats right. Its been a six week break for mps, but of course many parents are currently putting up their children, getting ready for their make up their first day their make up of their first day back or first day at back at school or first day at school as the school term gets underway england. Problem underway in england. The problem theyve this theyve got is this rack, this aerated concrete. There were aerated concrete. There were 22,000 schools in england , 22,000 schools in england, eyman, only 90 of which have return ed questionnaires about the state of their concrete. The state of their concrete. Now, we know the early results are that 154 have problems with 104 were notified and cant open fully as of friday, but there could be as many as well. Hundreds more will find out about over the next few days and weeks. Its a problem at the moment for the government that appears to have no actual end. It started in the 80s and 90s with with cheaper concrete or even before that, cheaper concrete being used. But concrete being being used. But where end . Its where does it end . Its a political issue now with
Gillian Keegan<\/a>, the education secretary, set to give a statement to mps today. Set to give a statement to mps today. Labour rightly demanding today. Labour rightly demanding a list of all the 156 a full list of all the 156 affected. We were promised that on friday. It hasnt happened yet now and it just seems to be a complete mess , to be honest a complete mess, to be honest with you, chris. I mean, weve got jeremy hunt speaking to on television yesterday, saying hes to going pay yesterday, saying hes to going pay whatever it takes, whatever it costs, going to make it costs, hes going to make schools safe. But then youve got the treasury saying theres no new. Money no new. Money well, indeed. And the well, indeed. And the government, of course, i mean, labour rightly saying its 13 years of failure. If you want to have an almost a symbol of a of a of a tired and exhausted government, youve got crumbling pubuc government, youve got crumbling public of course public buildings. But of course the government did cut back on the government did cut back on the schools
Building Program<\/a> back that word, back in 2010. In that word, austerity. Ten years austerity. We that was ten years ago. Then, a war ago. Since then, weve had a war on. Had a covid crisis. On. Weve had a covid crisis. Other other drains on public expenditure. But i think, yeah, theyve got to get a grip with this and its a long term systemic, systemic problem. I mean, would bridget mean, what would
Bridget Phillipson<\/a> the shadow phillipson do . The shadow education secretary, were she in the dfe . Well, were not youre not sure yet. They ought to find the money somewhere. But today we have keir starmer saying theres no more money being raised income tax raised through any income tax increases. Is increases. So already labour is boxing in and what boxing themselves in and what can they can afford to pay for . Well, okay, christopher, thank you. Well leave it there. Chris is our head politics chris is our head of politics here at gb news as well. Happy birthday to google. Google is the most widely used
Search Engine<\/a> and its celebrating its 25th anniversary. So what im laughing at is we used to have books before google came along. Books before google came along. Encyclopaedias. Remember those . Those . Yeah, of course. You know, and thats how you know, i suppose somebody like myself is how your whole education was. You went to a book, but now you wouldnt even know. Now you dont even have to type in anything. You just speak. Its amazing, isnt it . Its amazing, isnt it . And it appears and its there. Well a co funded by university friends, larry page and sergey brin. Google has and sergey brin. Google has become an everyday essential in a lot of peoples lives. But has the
Search Engine<\/a> got better or worse over the years . And is our data safe under the internet giant . Well lets ask the futurist and author of the future of you, tracy, for close. Well, good morning to you, tracy. Very very good to see you this morning. And happy birthday to google. Turning 25 today. And one of the most remarkable things about google is it hasnt really changed in 25 years. It is almost the same as it was when it started. Yes. Good morning, ellie. Yeah, i think thats right. In terms of like the
User Experience<\/a>, when we use it as a search function, which obviously most people do , its the biggest most people do, its the biggest search function in the world, like 94 billion visits a month,
Something Like<\/a> that. But i think
Something Like<\/a> that. But i think the company has changed a lot. Even. I the company has changed a lot. Even. I mean, the company is now known as alphabet, and it has lots more smaller companies. Google just being one of them within the holding but within the holding company. But the
Actual Experience<\/a> the actual
User Experience<\/a> hasnt changed much. I hasnt changed that much. I think, you know , theres been think, you know, theres been changes in advertising. Changes in advertising. Obviously, lots of the advertising goes through google and facebook now. So the and facebook now. So the influence that google have on what they show you in terms of search results and obviously the
European Union<\/a> , the commission
European Union<\/a>, the commission has had something to say about the monopoly that google has on this in the past. You know, that probably has changed. And theres been a debate about what surfaced through the search results. Is it really what were looking for or is it what google would like to give us . And i think thats probably one of the debates thats going on today and how much do you think google has actually transformed the way that we live . I mean, eamonn, just mentioned dont even mentioned there, you dont even need itin mentioned there, you dont even need it in anymore. You need to type it in anymore. You can just speak to google. I mean, its so intelligent, but for many its like our for many of us, its like our right we wed be nowhere right arm. We wed be nowhere without it. Without it. Thats right. I mean , the thats right. I mean, the more information that you can give to google, to the
Search Engine<\/a> that can help optimise the search results , the better the search results, the better the search results, the better the results will be. So, for example , if you can use voice, example, if you can use voice, what google found was that people would ask longer questions and theyd probably have a location and theyd use other keywords in that request. Other keywords in that request. And so that was giving the
Search Engine<\/a> more information to optimise and personalise the search results that you would get. And of course the big move on now , and theres a question on now, and theres a question whether google missed the boat on promoting this. But the big question now is will the likes of gpt chat gpt, which i know youve heard of and everybody is kind of using and trialling at the moment , these generative pre the moment, these generative pre trained transformers, as theyre called , will that kind of ai called, will that kind of ai replace voice search . Because one is able to have more of a conversation with that al and it can take in more
Training Data<\/a> and it can give you better more personalised results. And thats, i think, the big move on now and the big challenge for google moving ahead. Google moving ahead. Yeah. Tracy, why does it have to listen to me . Well, thats to listen to me . Well, thats the thing i find invasive. I find all of this is very well and good and helpful, but where it crosses the line for me is if italk it crosses the line for me is if i talk about trainers or ties or whatever it is, suddenly all the adverts are there. And then adverts are there. And then i just get offended to think that that was a small conversation i had with my brother or whatever. Why is it listening to me that i completely agree . Im and theres lots of technology thats listening to us and we were told many, many times in the past that it wasnt listening to us. I remember when it was found that apple were listening to your private conversations that you were having with your gp. I dont know if you remember that from a few years ago. Thats really shocking people. I try shocking to people. What i try and is go into all of my and do is go into all of my technology and every time theres , i know theres an upgrade, i know theyre upgrading and signing me up to things that i dont necessarily want. I always like tv does this to me all the time. You know, theres a
Software Update<\/a>. Do the update update. Do the
Software Update<\/a> every it , it update. Do the
Software Update<\/a> every it, it opens every time they do it, it opens up permissions for it to up the permissions for it to listen to my voice. And every single time i try to go in and close i agree with you. Close it down, i agree with you. We shouldnt have to do that as consumers. But i think its worth always vigilant. Worth us always being vigilant. Every that happens, every time that happens, every time a change, know, time theres a change, you know, the sign up to at the terms that we sign up to at the terms that we sign up to at the allow to the beginning, allow them to update things. And we dont always we dont always realise simply we could we could opt in rather than opt out of, of those sort of things. Sort of things. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. I think theres. I think theres. Sorry ellie, i was just about to say at that point of vigilance that you just raised, its a really important one, isnt it . Its a really good message to people. Because you said earlier the more information google, the information you give google, the better give you. Better results it can give you. But do need to be aware of but we do need to be aware of the information that were giving to these
Companies Giving<\/a> out to these companies because a concern because that is a great concern for isnt it . Its data. For people, isnt it . Its data. It personal and we it is our personal data and we are handing it over are just handing it over to these companies for free. Yeah, this is the big crossover into the 21st century. The move from the industrialised sort of organisation to informal na\ufb01on sort of organisation to informal nation technology. And i would say were moving from
Information Technology<\/a> to
Information Technology<\/a> to information biology now. So theyre looking at our face to face. Theres facial recognition, theres biometrics, theres as eamonn says, voice, voice biometrics now. So our biology is now turned into data and thats information that is, you know, fuelling these tech companies. Now. Companies. Now. Tracy, fascinating to talk to you. Goodness knows who was listening to us, but but thank you. Thank listening to us, but but thank you. Thank you very much indeed. Tracy follows is a futurist and author of the future of you.

Times Newspaper<\/a> in which writer poorna bell says theres too much stigma around body art. But were asking , does she have but were asking, does she have a point . Theres no point having any debate on anything. Just have to accept you can do what you want, how you want, when you want. Because if you object to anything a concern when anything or raise a concern when ino\ufb01ced anything or raise a concern when i noticed was womens i noticed it was womens football during world cup. Football during the world cup. On never noticed it that oh yeah. Never noticed it that much with women before, but my goodness me , footballers in goodness me, footballers in general, male or female . Well, general, male or female . Well, were not just talking about one tattoo or tattoos or tattoo or five tattoos or whatever. Were talking about body to bottom. Body top to bottom. Well, the female footballers. Yes. How did i miss that . Oh,. Yes. How did i miss that . Oh, are they all tattooed . They were sleeves or if they were short sleeves or you see it on their thighs or whatever . My colleague, my colleague will back me up on this paul coyte. I will back you up on that. Womens thighs. Womens thighs. Yeah. Yeah, i think. Ellie, you thought that it was clothing that they were wearing, but they were tattoos. Thats were actually tattoos. Thats probably i must probably what it was, i must say that hasnt struck me before. On well, year a yougov study well, last year a yougov study found a quarter of people found that a quarter of people now have tattoos. Thats in 4 of us. Their thats 1 in 4 of us. Their youre welcome to inspect my body to foot, but no body from head to foot, but no thanks. Body from head to foot, but no thanks. Theres none there right thanks. Theres none there right 7 thanks. Theres none there right . Should we judge people for tattoos . Zentropa entertainment tattoos . Zentropa entertainment journalist
Sarah Robertson<\/a> joins us now. Shes not a fan. Us now. Shes not a fan. Im not indeed. Eamonn i think we come into this world beautiful already. Masters of art, a masterpiece with gorgeous skin. You know, weve got this skin. You know, weve got this lovely blank canvas, beautiful skin. Why would you want to desecrate that and ruin it with with what really are quite ugly tattoos . Its like going up to tattoos . Its like going up to the mona lisa and then drawing a heart on the mona lisas shoulder. And it can never ruin a piece of art, would you . Well, the thing is, were all different people in our 20s, ellie, i think there we are in our than we are in our 40s. Our 30s than we are in our 40s. And whatever, whatever. And what you done in your 30s may you may get done in your 30s may not be you would want done not be what you would want done in your 60s and that would worry about that. And also worry about that. And id also worry about that. And id also worry about pain. About pain. Well, taste changes as well doesnt well doesnt it . I mean i, well i dont particularly like tattoos anyway, i couldnt choose anyway, but i couldnt choose something now in my 20s that i know like my 60s. Its know id like in my 60s. Its a risk isnt it . And theres a reason why its called a tramp stamp. The called a tramp stamp. Thats the nickname they are nickname given to them. They are just vulgar. Theyre just not classy well, classy things, are they . Well, and you see those in america and theyve got them all their theyve got them all over their faces and their necks. Theres i interviewed theres a man i interviewed once had his eyeballs. That once who had his eyeballs. That was his eyeballs. I said, tattooed. So how on earth can you even do that . Exactly. Its disgust thing. And its almost in a way, its quite a cliche, really saying, oh, ive got a tattoo because youre of join in youre trying to sort of join in with your favourite rock or with your favourite rock star or trying to rebellious, but who trying to be rebellious, but who are actually rebelling are you actually rebelling against . Understand against . I just dont understand why to harm you. Why you would want to harm you. I think. I its up w l i think its up to people if they want done. I mean, you they want it done. I mean, you look at paul coyte there, you dont know what hes got done and got it done. You and where hes got it done. You just know to at. Just dont know to look at. Youd never know, would you . Youd never know, would you . Its the quiet ones. Its the quiet ones. My full body inking. You would have a clue. You would never have a clue. You never have a clue. Crawford, doctor heres tom crawford, doctor tom says, no, do tom crawford, who says, no, do not people because not judge people because of these tattoos. And to plead your case for us, please, doctor. Case for us, please, doctor. Well, i just think people should be judged on their ability to do a job or whatever it is that you are interacting them for. The reason you are interacting with them. I think to judge somebody because they have decided to make a personal choice and get a tattoo, i think is incredibly
Old Fashioned<\/a> and very , very closed minded in very, very closed minded in general. So what i would say could i ask you because this is my biggest fear, worry they must hurt , particularly in sensitive hurt, particularly in sensitive parts of your body. There must be parts of your body that they hurt more than in other parts. Other parts. Absolutely. Yeah. No i, um, i actually have over a hundred different designs across my whole body , and. And i can whole body, and. And i can confirm. Yes any anything around the ribs or the stomach area is, is much more painful than, say, the arms. But thats a form of self harm in my eyes. You are harming your skin , you are harming your skin, arent you . Whats the difference of that then . Then then taking a knife and drawing it all over your skin. I wouldnt want anybody to interfere thighs. Interfere with my inner thighs. Absolutely no, absolutely not. No, absolutely not. Another places in pain dealt in pain with that. So is that attractive . Does carrick attractive . Does
David Carrick<\/a> beckham you beckham stay attractive to you or less attractive because of all . All of that . I mean,
David Beckham<\/a> is a very, handsome but very, very handsome man. But i have say, the tattoos, have to say, the tattoos, theres many now. They just. Theres too many now. They just. You think its like an addiction . Its like sailor. Addiction . Its like a sailor. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Theyre just like, yeah, he just doesnt look nice at all now them and its now with them and its interesting because victoria, now with them and its intewife ng because victoria, now with them and its intewife ,g because victoria, now with them and its intewife , she cause victoria, now with them and its intewife , she she;e victoria, now with them and its intewife , she she was ctoria, now with them and its intewife , she she was going down his wife, she she was going down the having quite a few. The road of having quite a few. Shes lot of hers erased shes had a lot of hers erased off. Lasered off. Shes had a lot of hers erased off. That red off. Shes had a lot of hers erased off. That must f. Shes had a lot of hers erased off. That must be painful too. That must be painful too. That must be painful too. Is it, you know. Well, this is it, you know. So shes all that to so shes caused all that to herself. Angelina jolie, for herself. And angelina jolie, for example, seen. I example, who weve just seen. I mean, all of that on the back of her skin with that beautiful dress at an oscars. Just dress at an oscars. It just ruins it. Its awful. Well, doctor, would you accept in any way that addictions in play here addictions could be in play here or people who are making some sort for help . Sort of cry for help . Theres potentially that um, theres potentially that element to it, but i dont think that that is linked specific physically to tattoos. I think physically to tattoos. I think that will be the case for for, some people, just as it would in any other situation. But i think thats actually, again, quite an
Old Fashioned<\/a> and sort of closed minded view. And there are lots of recent examples of people telling stories about how theyre sort of using tattoos as a way of taking ownership of their body once again and helping them to feel empowered. Taking ownership, i mean, you own your body. Youre born into taking ownership, i mean, you owwhatr body. Youre born into taking ownership, i mean, you owwhat are dy. Youre born into taking ownership, i mean, you owwhat are yououre born into taking ownership, i mean, you owwhat are you takingiorn into it. What are you taking ownership of . Ownership of . But for some people , again, but for some people, again, its not personally a reason why i am tattooed. I just find it quite a nice way of self expression. But i think for some people it is a way of sort of taking the ownership over their body. Its something they feel they have control over, that other people can not say you can cant do this. Its you can or cant do this. Its something they decide themselves that and that they want to do. And i think that it is important to remember that people have different making
Different Reasons<\/a> for making these decisions be tattooed. These decisions to be tattooed. And until you sort of thats art, id get that done, that cantona one, id get that done. Cantona one, id get that done. Do you remember when cheryl had mean, it just awful. Had i mean, it just looks awful. Do when cheryl had do you remember when cheryl had those roses tattooed all those awful roses tattooed all over bottom . Over her bottom . I do remember that. Yeah oh, i do remember that. Yeah i do remember that. That was controversial at the time. Tom, what judgement have yes, tom, what judgement have you faced . Yes, tom, what judgement have yoquiced . Yes, tom, what judgement have yoqu any, yes, tom, what judgement have yoqu any, for tattoos that if any, for the tattoos that youve got so i actually havent faced anything that i am openly aware of. Aware of. And i think the fact that i am now teaching maths at the university of oxford , which is university of oxford, which is seen, lets say, stereotype , seen, lets say, stereotype, typically seen as a very traditional role to have, i think thats actually quite powerful for people who have tattoos or are thinking about tattoos or are thinking about tattoos to see that its you can still sort of have any job in a sense, and you can still achieve what you want to achieve because as society has now moved to a position where we judge people based on their ability to do a job rather than what they look like. And i think tattoos falls into that. That category. Into that. That category. Tom, tom, tom, who did your job . Was it was it a
Primary School<\/a> kid or. Its a its very simplistic, the stuff that youve got. Youve got. Well, if you saw my back, damon, ive got a whole host. Of damon, ive got a whole host. Of cartoon designs and
Different Things<\/a> on my back, which i would argue look incredibly artistic and beautiful. Um and really quite beautiful. Um but yeah, youre right. The ones on arms pretty, pretty on my arms are pretty, a pretty basic, know, theres basic, you know, theres some straight few they
Straight Lines<\/a> and a few they have reasons behind have mathematical reasons behind them and actually to them and it actually leads to really interesting discussions with students with my students and my colleagues they want to colleagues as to they want to know they mean. And it know what they mean. And it actually has turned into a teaching tool, which i think enhances ability to actually enhances my ability to actually teach well. Teach these students well. I mean, to say, is it mean, i was going to say, is it not distracting if theyre not distracting them if theyre talking tattoos talking about your tattoos rather lessons that rather than the lessons that should learning . Well, again, should be learning . Well, again, a mine actually a lot of mine are actually mathematical. So, know, my mathematical. So, you know, my arm has quite lot of arm over here has quite a lot of numbers equations on. So numbers and equations on. So they tend to be the ones that theyre more interested in as theyre more interested in as theyre studying maths. Theyre already studying maths. So think it does so i actually think it does actually lead to some really interesting discussions that go beyond and, you know, the stuff theyre being taught and actually helps them to learn further of of math. Okay. Tom, youve been youve dr. Tom, youve been youve been very revealing and morad tahbaz than hes a tahbaz than one. Hes a mathematician at the university of oxford and obviously a tattoo lover there. Thank you very much indeed for your contribution. Ian and sarah, though , i mean, ian and sarah, though, i mean, whether you like them or not, what youve got to accept peoples right to do what they want with their body, have you not . You do. Yes. And i mean, i think if theyre hidden away and people go into work and theyre covered up. But if tom, for example, starts getting them on his face and where visible and then and where its visible and then complains to say if he gets turned down for you cant turned down for a job, you cant then expect to. To have a sort then expect to. To have a sort of counter argument was that is there there tattoo ism . There a is there a tattoo ism . Can you discriminate against people . I think you can in a way. I mean, would you feel like, you know, if you were interviewing somebody, you would have to be honest theyre representing honest that theyre representing you company whatever honest that theyre representing ychappens company whatever honest that theyre representing ychappens toympany whatever honest that theyre representing ychappens to be. Any whatever it happens to be. And i think people can only be honest about that why be honest about that as to why they would i mean, think they would see. I mean, i think its phases, you go its like phases, you go through, whether its clothes or haircuts pop music or haircuts or pop music or whatever, you change all whatever, but you can change all those you really change those you cant really change the tattoo. Thats what would say. So thats what i would say. So i think if youre going to have a tattoo its discreet you tattoo and its discreet and you know cover it up, then know you can cover it up, then fine. You do what you fine. You go and do what you want to do. But its when people start complaining, if you could have just a little thing have one, just a little thing would little teaser. Would be a little teaser. Is there anything something. Is there anything you well, could do you think, well, i could do that. I have to admit, that. I mean, i have to admit, i think about it and say, well, would on. No, would you put on. No, i wouldnt. I wouldnt want. I dont want have man, you know. No. Oh, no. No. Oh, no. Remember when can no. Oh, no. Remember remember when can no. Oh, no. Remember when nber when can no. Oh, no. Remember when johnnyien can no. Oh, no. Remember when johnny depp n you remember when johnny depp had winona forever. And then when split up, he had to when they split up, he had to have, yknow. Yknow forever. So he had to have the end. I can imagine you, the little crown something though. Crown or something though. A little, a little royal crown tiara queen sarah yeah, i think that would be nice. Think that would be do you think that would be nice. Do you think that would be nic i am interested though. Do you, you feel like tom broke you, did you feel like tom broke the mould there or broke stigma at because a professor at all . Because hes a professor at all . Because hes a professor at university of oxford . Yes at the university of oxford . Yes i have say, you dont i have to say, you dont expect but i was expect that. But i mean, i was at wedding a few years ago and at a wedding a few years ago and there a surgeon there who there was a surgeon there who was covered with as was covered with tattoos as well, really. And so. And she was covered with tattoos as wellbrighty. And so. And she was covered with tattoos as wellbright pinki so. And she was covered with tattoos as wellbright pink hair. And she was covered with tattoos as wellbright pink hair. Yeahihe was covered with tattoos as wellbright pink hair. Yeah and had bright pink hair. Yeah and so the last thing i was so that was the last thing i was expecting her to say, that she was she was surgeon. Yes, was a she was a surgeon. Yes, yes, yes. So i suppose it does challenge stereotype. Yes. Isnt it see people like that. But well, here we are. Dave says ive just turned 62 years of daughter and i got of age. My daughter and i got a tattoo together. Oh, i have never had tattoo. I never had a tattoo. However, i have a scottish thistle on my left arm. Well, its better than left arm. Well, its better than putting it on your bum. Might be. Might be a bit prickly to sit on if he gets sick of it. You cant see it on his bum, can maybe thats why cheryl can he . Maybe thats why cheryl had her bum because had it done on her bum because she thought well cant see. She thought well i cant see. Just ignore it. Yeah. Yeah. It then if its 5 it then if its on ignore it then if its on your arm, you have to sort of see it a bit more. Dont you. But he goes on to say, people who tattoos are narrow who hate tattoos are narrow minded. Then. Minded. Sarah oh, okay then. Right. What do you say to that . Well, i dont think im narrow but. Narrow minded, but. Got very delicate, and youve got very delicate, fair skin as well. I can sort of see. Dont want to desecrate it with horrible. I cani could. Yeah, i could think i could. Yeah, i could think itd be painful. And also i think its germs and do you if you and you never know do you if you go into a tattoo parlour, you dont 100 know that dont always 100 know that theyre clean. Theyre actually clean. Well, paul is old, paul says, but if get them but what about if you get them young old . Thats young and you get old . Thats the thing about the saggy the worst thing about the saggy skin. Yeah. Yeah. You know, things dont stay in place, do they . In the same place, do they . An elderly lady says we saw an elderly lady with elvis tattoo on her with an elvis tattoo on her back. Safe to say, its now a very wrinkly elvis. They fade as well and and they fade as well and tell us that you get dont look the same the end of the end the same at the end of the end of the i think its one, of the day. So i think its one, if you go in, have to go in if you go in, you have to go in knowing that its not going to look in 20 years and look like that in 20 years and youre to the same youre not going to be the same person years is what you person in 20 years is what you are when you first get them or if get someones name if you get someones name tattooed. What depp tattooed. Like what johnny depp did, not to did, and youre not going to stay them. Stay with them. Well, sarah oh, well, she is

Summer better late than never. Summer holidays may even hit 30 degrees later on this week. And of course, whats happened this week , all the children are back week, all the children are back at school when it could have beenin at school when it could have been in the garden. It could have been having barbecues , have been having barbecues, could have been at the beach, could have been at the beach, could been just enjoying could have been just enjoying themselves. Sporting the themselves. A sporting the venues. Then the sun comes venues. And then the sun comes out so better late than out. So its better late than never. Out. So its better late than never. Hopefully it still never. Hopefully it still will be next weekend. Be around for next weekend. According the daily well, according to the daily stars front its going to stars front page, its going to last halloween. Last until halloween. Would be nice, well, that would be nice, wouldnt it . Thats a long stretch , isnt it . Ill cope. Ill cope. No, well be fine with that woman. E e with that one, fully cope with that one, eamonn. Worry. Yeah yeah. Eamonn. Dont worry. Yeah yeah. You know, all feel but, you know, we all feel better the sun comes out. Better when the sun comes out. Whats an thats whats called an indian isnt indian summer, isnt it . Definitely an indian summer. How beautiful that sunset how beautiful is that sunset last we. Did catch last night. Did we. Did we catch that. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Orange. Orange. Yeah. Because i got a reflection of it on the buildings. Blocks buildings. The tower blocks opposite. Just more opposite. Beautiful. Just more of that. Again, didnt it . Again, didnt you do it . Again, didnt you do it . Yeah , yeah, yeah. Im so yeah, yeah, yeah. Im so boring. I do that every day. A story in the mail. Heres a story in the mail. Thats front page. The mail council to work council allows staff to work from the beach. Theyre saying its a tenfold rise in the number of local authorities who allow their employees to log on from wherever they want to their day jobs. This is this is such a typical daily mail story. They do this so well. Its one of those headlines where especially a lot of people are heading back to work and school today. Obviously after the
Summer Holidays<\/a> again. Oh, my god, how dare they . Theyre working for beaches. But basically freedom of basically its a freedom of information request. Town hall bosses granted more than bosses have granted more than 1350 requests to work from overseas. Right. So not just overseas. Right. So not just working from home. These include people who are working for uk companies from spain, australia, dubai , brazil, india, italy, dubai, brazil, india, italy, france , thailand, costa rica , france, thailand, costa rica, south africa, i mean all over the world. Basically so it sounds horrible, right . All of sounds horrible, right . All of these people working from beaches, how much can they concentrate . Et cetera. Et cetera. Theres to be so cetera. Theres going to be so many you many distractions. But when you drill down into it, as i want to do, this is only 1350 people working for local councils right there are 2. 24
Million People<\/a> who work for local councils. This is a tiny percentage of people who are actually working i i i still m i still feel envious for anybody who does so i just cannot. Could you trust yourself to not get distracted . No. No. Exactly that. I mean, i can only speak in my own my own situation and there would be too much of the dog, the amazon man arriving at the front door. Exactly. The the front door. Exactly. The fact think ill nip down and fact i think ill nip down and get something from the butchers for whatever. For dinner tonight. Whatever. Theres too risk. Theres too much risk. Temptation of looking after yourself rather than looking after your business. Also you said, i think it but also you said, i think it is also disingenuous because
Many Companies<\/a> have whats called middle east and africa. Called middle east and africa. They might be just calling in now to head to head office in the uk and you could be on a teams call, for example. And ive just come in off the beach for a team call. You could be managing your direct, direct line below. So many, many reasons why you could legitim only be on a holiday , say over only be on a holiday, say over the last six weeks and calling into the office extra time and not necessarily being paid for it, you know . So i wish you all the time i saying constantly, but thats all counted in these numbers. So, you know, you could be away, for example. But these arent people on holiday. Working. Theyre these are working. Theyre meant work time. Meant to be working work time. Well, it. No. Is it so well, is it. No. Is it so its not not you for example, being away and finding out , oh, being away and finding out, oh, youre going to be on gb news on monday saying, oh, what are the issues for me to. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. These are people that meant no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Th be are people that meant no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Th be working. le that meant no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Th be working. le that workingnt no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Thbtime, ing. le that workingnt no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Thbtime, 9|g. le that workingnt no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Thbtime, 9 toyle that workingnt no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Thbtime, 9 to 5. That workingnt full time, 9 to 5. Yeah. Can you work from the beach, you reckon . Do you beach, do you reckon . Do you think youd be productive . This would be like so, chris, this would be like you on course . You and i on the golf course . Not going happen not that thats going to happen in but like doing this in my case, but like doing this paper from golf course i but km a see, there are but you see, there are certain you could do this certain things you could do this newspaper from from, from most places, anywhere youre on places, from anywhere youre on a or wherever it is. But a zoom or wherever it is. But thats point. What were thats not the point. What were saying a dedicate, noted. Saying is a dedicate, noted. If you had to do 7. 5 hours, eight hours at an
Office Working<\/a> hours a day at an
Office Working<\/a> for an
Insurance Company<\/a> or the
Passport Office<\/a> or driving
Licence Office<\/a> or whatever it is you do, we all think that you should be dedicated to that job and have no distractions. I think were all agree, of course, and i would agree with that. I mean, and theres so much more youre at more going on when youre at work than the nuts and work than the actual nuts and bolts. Bolts. Exactly. Learning exactly. Its learning information. Information transfer. Theres mentoring. Theres mentoring. Theres mentoring. Yeah. And social skills. One of the companies that are urging people to get back to the office is zoom. Oh. Oh, dear. Oh. Oh, dear. Oh. Oh, dear. Whats the irony in that . Whats the irony in that . Exactly right. Exactly right. We havent got time for all of them, but the ai are printing 50 questions that the
Prime Minister<\/a> has to answer before an election. But he dodges them. Election. But he dodges them. Yeah, and actually i love i love this, but three that could appeal to both sides of the divide. So not just sunak but also sir keir starmer will you extend the 2030 deadline for the ban on sales of diesel and petrol cars . Its only seven petrol cars . Its only seven years away and he cant answer it. No, he cant. Well he wont answer it, but. But he should answer it, but. But he should answer it. But he wont answer it, and neither will the opposition leader. Can you guarantee the pension age will not be raised again . Weve got an ageing population. Let me ask you all politicians are afraid of answering questions in case its held against them. Am i alone in thinking that i would be forgiven if someone said, look, i dont have the answer to that. I dont have the answer to that. I only into this job two i only came into this job two months ago and i wasnt told about this, which is a sort of question going ask the question im going to ask the education secretary very shortly. But she knew about shortly. But when she knew about the situation why the concrete situation. But why cant of say , cant you just sort of say, nobody it and ill nobody told me about it and ill get you an answer this time tomorrow . Youre expecting . Youre expecting . Yeah, absolutely. I totally yeah, absolutely. I totally agree. I would have much more respect i was respect for any politician i was interviewing. If just interviewing. If they just turned around and said, im really than sort really sorry, rather than sort of like dance through it and of like tap dance through it and fudge just have the fudge it, i just dont have the answer to that one. But i will get to you. Id respect get back to you. Id respect someone for that. Get back to you. Id respect sonisnte for that. Get back to you. Id respect sonisnt thatthat. Get back to you. Id respect sonisnt that just such a normal isnt that just such a normal person though . Isnt that just such a normal peryeah, though . Isnt that just such a normal peryeah, we though . Isnt that just such a normal peryeah, we to though . Isnt that just such a normal peryeah, we to normal. . Isnt that just such a normal peryeah, we to normal. Yeah, thats. You still accuse them of dodging the issue because actually if its uncomfortable but youre still accepting. Dont you would. No, i dont think you would. No, i dont think you would. Theyve to i think theyve then got to face party and what face the
Party Machine<\/a> and what the the party is. For the line for the party is. For instance , think chancellor instance, i think the chancellor either looks stupid or as if he tells fibs. When yesterday he went on tv to say, well spend what it takes to fix unsafe schools. But then theyre not schools. But then theyre not going to spend what it takes. Going to spend what it takes. Theyre not. It comes out of existing budgets. Theres no money. So thats a lie. Yeah, but you know, politicians are economical with the actuality. Thats a lie. Its just. The actuality. Thats a lie. Itsjust. Im thats a lie. Its just. Im sorry. Why cant you say the country is broke . We havent got the money. Were going to have to do something drastic. So we either public either do without public swimming pools and fix the schools , or i. Schools, or i. We have got the money. When we want to because weve got the money for ukraine. Weve got the for money political. So yeah, if its political expedient , then its political expedient, then we will have the money. Thats thats why people are agitating for rises in wages because we know you dont care about me, but when youve got something for youll for it. For yourself, youll go for it. But the questions but one of the questions i wanted to say there is appropriate both. Does the fall appropriate both. Does the fall in donations to the conservative party show you already lost the confidence business and the confidence of business and the next can next election . Because can you do you want to appeal to the blue wall or do you want to appeal to the red wall . You cant appeal both. You know, cant appeal to both. You know, you two masters and, you cant serve two masters and, you cant serve two masters and, you of these guys are you know, both of these guys are trying to to everybody trying to appeal to everybody and say everybody for me. And say everybody vote for me. And again , its a lie. We and again, its a wee lie. We lie. We try. But weve got to say this is our segment of the community that were going for, but we dont do that. So we try to do sweeping stuff and appeal to do sweeping stuff and appeal to everybody. I think they either lie or theyre stupid or they think were stupid. They think were stupid, they do. And talking about john today in the times and its spells today, this particular day , the today, this particular day, the what is it, the 4th of september. It spells trouble for couples. Couples. Yeah. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The first monday september is when most people seek couples therapy or even go to see divorce lawyers. Now the thinking behind this is that its the end of the
Summer Holidays<\/a>. Youve spent that long, hot summer or cold summer in our case with your other half and the kids and youre thinking, i cant do this anymore. So you get back to anymore. So you get back to normality and you think, right, weve to do something about weve got to do something about it. Have it. So we either go and have therapy we get divorce. Not therapy or we get a divorce. Not a good not a happy. We get a lot of training for that with lockdowns and stuff. We your we have to live with your partner for a considerable penod partner for a considerable period of time and got nothing else four walls. Else but them in the four walls. Yeah, think that yeah, well, i think that probably happens a lot after lockdown probably happens a lot after lociand n other dangerous and the other dangerous penod and the other dangerous period straight the period is straight after the
Christmas New Year<\/a> break as well. Was about to say, it well. I was about to say, it sounds like january theyve got the monday . Sounds like january theyve got the blue monday . Sounds like january theyve got the blue monday. Ronday . Sounds like january theyve got the blue monday. The ay . Sounds like january theyve got the blue monday. The same. Yeah, blue monday. The same. Around doesnt and it rolls around doesnt it, in september. And the other thinking behind it you dont and the other thinking behind it to you dont and the other thinking behind it to upset you dont and the other thinking behind it to upset kids you dont and the other thinking behind it to upset kids or u dont and the other thinking behind it to upset kids or elderly want to upset kids or elderly relatives during the holidays by announcing youve got marital problems divorced problems and getting divorced. So do wait until september so you do wait until september when things back. Me you this. We live let me ask you this. We live in where hate it when in an age where i hate it when you me ask you, whats he you go let me ask you, whats he going say now . Ill tell you. Going to say now . Ill tell you. Im going you turn on going to say now . Ill tell you. Im tlnstagram you turn on going to say now . Ill tell you. Im tlnstagram orou turn on going to say now . Ill tell you. Im tlnstagram or whatevern going to say now . Ill tell you. Im tlnstagram or whatever and your instagram or whatever and your instagram or whatever and you get all these lovely thoughts which say empower, do whatever suits you, do whatever makes and you have to makes you happy. And you have to realise that nobody wants you to be happy. You have to suit other people. Thats true. Its true. They say , do what suits you. So they say, do what suits you. So say it suited you. Yeah. To to walk away from your husband, right. Im not suggesting. Im just saying say it suited you, but it wouldnt suit him. Might suit his family. He doesnt suit your neighbours. Your neighbours. You met my husbands family by any chance. What im trying to say is but what im trying to say is everybody opinion. Its everybody has an opinion. Its not do what you not about do what makes you happy. Chris im saying its very hard to do what makes you happy. Yeah, i mean, theres been atomisation of society and individual individualism an over cohesive of the nature of society. Dodi so is that possible . Ive been selfish. Well i guess so. But we have been inducted into selfishness, havent we . You know, weve got the power shoulders of the 80s and upwardly mobile people and the atomisation of the family. Where youve got double income in families. Go get what you want, you know, its your right to be happy and to do what you want. And unfortunately, its now embedded deeply inside each and everyone of us that my life, my body, my way. Do you think thats why the divorce rate is so high . Well that have 8 in this country. Do you think thats because we all focus too on ourselves and focus too much on ourselves and not more a couple, not any more as a as a couple, as a unit without a shadow of doubt . Yeah. I mean, marriage is marriage is not the beacon for us all to follow any longer. You know, we do look and were happy for women to be in powerful positions at work and dedicate themselves to work. Were happy for all of us to have the nice car and have the nice holiday and that seems the thing that we are actually for going as opposed to, you know , apple pie opposed to, you know, apple pie and crumble and cream and sitting around the nice house with a picket fence and a 2. 4 kids, which used to be the thing that we were all striving for. So when you left school, you knew straight away you had to go and get married. And so get and get married. And so get a job first and go and get married and start a family. Well, what what youngster now in 2022, 23 will ever think about getting married and having a family somewhere down the road , if at somewhere down the road, if at all. So its just different values and different ways of operating there. We are. Those are the wise words to dwell on or think on from our pastor today. Pastor its very good. Its very good. Thank you. But whether you agree, whether you disagree , fire and brimstone disagree, fire and brimstone this morning. Weve got to go to break up because weve got to bring you the weather and it is going to be good week. And then go to be a good week. And then go to the schools

So to our top story this morning, the chancellor says there will be no extra cash for schools affected by the concrete crisis, despite on the bbc yesterday saying he would not speculate on the potential cost of fixing the problem. But said we will spend what it takes to make sure children can go to school safely. Well , they wont. Well, they wont. Well, they wont. Well, they wont. Well, yeah , because it has to well, yeah, because it has to come out of existing budgets. Yeah. The treasury says theres going to be no more money, but jeremy come amid jeremy hunts comments come amid a growing demand for ministers to release the full list of buildings because buildings affected. Because as you its not just you said earlier, its not just schools, it . Its police schools, is it . Its police stations, its hospitals, its pubuc stations, its hospitals, its public buildings. But stations, its hospitals, its public buildings. But in the meantime, parents are being left in the dark as millions of pupils return to school this week. Week. Are going to hear now are you going to hear now from education from the shadow
Education Minister<\/a> . Thats
Bridget Phillipson<\/a> labour phillipson and she said labour are a vote this are going to force a vote this week if that information is not published. Published. We cant be confident that we know the full picture because ministers are refusing to pubush ministers are refusing to publish the full list of school affected affected. And affected affected. And its a scandal that parents being scandal that parents are being left just at the left in the dark just at the point the school term. Point of the new school term. Starting ministers need to be upfront publish list and upfront publish that list and get grip. We think vital get a grip. We think its vital that the government publishes the list schools the full list of schools affected. Get affected. They need to get a grip situation, but if grip of this situation, but if they do well they refuse to do so, well force a vote in the house of commons week and make it commons this week and make it happen so that parents arent commons this week and make it hapjini so that parents arent commons this week and make it hapjini so dark parents arent commons this week and make it hapjini so dark asrents arent commons this week and make it hapjini so dark as you. Arent commons this week and make it hapjini so dark as you cannt left in the dark as you can imagine, the education secretary very busy today. We have got her lined up to speak to her any time shortly in the meantime, were going to preview what
Andrew Pierce<\/a> is talking about come 9 30 andrew. Well , im talking about come 9 30 andrew. Well, im also going to talk a lot about schools. Its a huge story, isnt it, for parents . Yes. Here we go again. The nightmare of home tuition. In lockdown tuition. Kids back in lockdown again. And some some of these schools could be shut down or partially shut down until december. Theyre extraordinary. December. Theyre extraordinary. And andrew, sounds and andrew, it sounds calamitous. We had calamitous. I mean, we had a guest this morning said guest on this morning who said he kids to school this he took his kids to school this morning, had to turn back around and go back and it and go back home and how it could taken until the end could have taken until the end of week them to realise of last week for them to realise there a problem this there was a problem when this has around months and has been around for months and months and months. Ellie, it was in fact, ellie, it was identified first identified in 1999. Its been around for a very so as ever very long time. So kids as ever being let down. And if youre a mum or a dad, it must be a nightmare thinking. Andrew, the thing that but andrew, the thing that makes really despondent is makes me really despondent is you identify got an you can identify weve got an emergency. And an emergency emergency. And an emergency means dealing something means dealing with something here and and making sure it here and now and making sure it doesnt become catastrophic. And doesnt become catastrophic. And yet the government do not have a penny to pay towards this. Theyre basically saying, yes, well sort this, meaning they wont sort it. What theyre saying is theyre going back to headmasters and mistresses and saying now all that money you had classroom assistance and had for classroom assistance and school trips and whatever it is , that to pay for , you use that to pay for keeping the up. Keeping the roof up. Its extraordinary. And of course, its not just schools either its going to be either because its going to be hospitals stations either because its going to be hosjother stations either because its going to be hosjother public stations either because its going to be hosjother public buildings. Is and other public buildings. Extraordinary story. One of the papers today one hospital. Papers today about one hospital. They named it where they havent named it where obese people are allowed obese people are not allowed on a floor in case they a certain floor in case they come piling. Come piling. So im in trouble if youre thinking i think, you know, talking about people 1920 stone, i dont think thats you know they way you they way you see what youre going to be way is that then you may be a danger to the roof and all living occupants i mean were inside but but its a joke isnt it.

And yeah , in the 3rd of december i started my birthday. Your birthday . I thought it was. Thats why thats why. Thats why thats why. So the 3rd of december i left brisbane, my hometown in australia.

You know, we spend our health system, spend so much money on rehab. My focus is on, well, lets prevent that. Lets lets get people moving. And theres so many benefits of moving, not just physical, but emotional and
Mental Health<\/a> wise as well. So my message is just just move. Just get out. Whatever it is. Just move. But, tim, therell be people watching and listening you watching and listening to you this saying this this morning saying this is amazing, also amazing, but this is also bonkers. I amazing, but this is also bonkers. I mean, theres moving and running all the bonkers. I mean, theres moving and around running all the bonkers. I mean, theres moving and around the running all the bonkers. I mean, theres moving and around the world. Ig all the bonkers. I mean, theres moving and around the world. Whyl the bonkers. I mean, theres moving and around the world. Why go e way around the world. Why go that far . Quite literally. Yeah, that far . Quite literally. Yeah, that thats true. And its funny because one of my whole premises is sustainability. So i dont just sustainability. So i dont just go and do something silly and get injured or break down. But i met a gentleman back from back home in 2017 that had run around the world. And i was like, thats something that id love to do. Go see the world, combine and travel and what have you seen in the world . Saying, thats what seen in the world . Was saying, thats what seen in the world . Was teleconferencingts what i was teleconferencing telepathic. Yeah. Telepathic. Yeah. But you know what is there in the world . People would say to me, whats on your bucket list . Or what would you want to see in the world . What, what, what have you that you think, wow , you seen that you think, wow, id sort of break it into two categories. The first category is obviously geographic locations and ive always wanted to see patagonia to like south america. And the andes and my run actually took me up and over the andes. Its the altitude not affecting your breathing then running when youre running, then it probably did. But i didnt feel it. Not to a point where i was. Yeah, i was like struggling to move. That was amazing. And i must say, and i know im on a english tv show now, but the thames path was unbelievable. Well, see, unbelievable. Well, see, i wouldnt i wouldnt even know. Wouldnt i wouldnt even know. Yeah, you work here and you dont. Theres so much you dont see do thats. See or do thats. Thats the same with me back home theres so home in australia. Theres so much havent seen that much that i havent seen that tourists see. And tourists come and see. And i think whats own backyard i but listen, im a tourist right . So. But three years ago i was brisbane and i was up for was in brisbane and i was up for to report on the im a celebrity, get me out of here jungle thing. Right which is north of brisbane. Right. And going up the motorway i swear i have never seen so many fast food outlets and i dont know if its something you notice or not. And its a plague thats taken over the whole world and we get
Delivery Services<\/a> to home or whatever. And you talk about in 20s in yourself go in your 20s that in yourself go so let themselves so often people let themselves go cant get themselves go and they cant get themselves back. Go and they cant get themselves back. And i look at that back. And i look at that temptation , that food, that temptation, that fast food, that awfulness just was it was incredible. Ive never seen a density fast food outlets density of fast food outlets like it in my life. On your like it in my life. On your motorway, you may you may not notice, but i just. I just couldnt believe it. Anyway get in your life back. Literally. In your life back. Literally. You feel youre eating habits have changed or what . Most of all, just moving. Just moving. All, just moving. Just moving. Will you eat the same . Everything changed because i dont think. I dont think you dont think. I dont think you can make youve got to make a holistic change. I dont think you can just change one part and keep
Everything Else<\/a> and stay healthy so everything healthy. So everything changed. And 1 1, change and i think 1 1, change the movement, change led to me wanting to make other parts of my life better because without doing that, im not going to improve. So, tim, whats been improve. So, tim, whats been the most challenging part of this for you . Because it cant have all been easy and beautiful places and meeting beautiful people. It must be really tough out there. I was going to ask that question very insane. Brutal. Ive had it has been brutal. Ive had some really tough days some some really tough days physically. Got some some physically. I got some some injuries, sort of 70, 80 days in which which her just on my lower legs. But then unfortunately , legs. But then unfortunately, about three months ago, my father passed away. On im sorry to hear that. No, thank you. Thank you. Yeah it was. Yeah he just got he got terminal illness. Came on and rolled through him. Really quickly. So that was i saw how quickly motivation as well. Yeah, absolutely. You turned a negative into a positive for you. You turned a negative into a posi ive for you. You turned a negative into a posi got for you. You turned a negative into a posi got home. You turned a negative into a posi got home and i got a chance i got home and i got a chance to goodbye and he just said, to say goodbye and he just said, get back and finish that run. Here we are. So here we are. So here we are. I used to be a
Cross Country<\/a> runner and i really enjoyed running anyway. Not that its an excuse because then 40 years elapsed you do elapsed and you dont do anything sort thing. But anything sort of thing. But i got disc problems last year in my back, which i havent recovered from. And i cant run. Recovered from. And i cant run. I cant walk , i cant do i cant walk, i cant do anything except watch tv and eat andifs anything except watch tv and eat and its not good. Its not and its not good. Its not a good recipe, i have to say , good recipe, i have to say, youre a motivation with all of this. What would you say to people out there who just have not got that that motivation . You know what that feels like . What would you say to them . What would you say to them . Yeah, thats a great question, because even if you are motivated, motivation doesnt last forever. Cant, doesnt last forever. Cant, cant, cannot last forever. But cant, cannot last forever. But routine does habits do. So if routine does habits do. So if im back where i was 15, 20 years ago trying to start , its years ago trying to start, its that commitment to starting make that commitment to starting make that commitment to starting make that commitment to start and then build habits around it. Because motivation , own because motivation, own motivation wont last. So youre motivation wont last. So youre going to go dip and, you know, peaks and troughs about, yes, im ready. Im pumped, i want to do it. And other days youll be like, i couldnt a stuff. Like, i couldnt give a stuff. I just to eat hamburger and just want to eat a hamburger and go right. Thats go back to bed. Right. Thats just nature. But if you just human nature. But if you build in habits and to build in habits and stick to that then you that routine, then then you cant. Cant really lose. So youre, youre going to run rest of life, run for the rest of your life, arent you . Oh, 100. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah yeah. I and spoke i love it. And you spoke about the people. Ive met. The beautiful people. Ive met. Thats what does it for me. I mean, the most amazing, mean, the. The most amazing, generous people on this run, theyve fed me, accommodated me , you know, helped me out wherever i can. I had to. Unfortunately, my crew that was with me had to go home. I just put a call out over the social mediums and i had youre inundated with people , right . Inundated with people, right . I was going to say to you, how earn a living . How do how do you earn a living . How do you i dont know if you lead a life . I dont know if youve a partner, youve if youve got a partner, youve if youve got a partner, youve family or or youve got a family or or whatever, a lot of people whatever, but a lot of people whatever, but a lot of people what gets their way is work , what gets in their way is work, really.

And speak to editor, to our political editor, christopher been
Christopher Hope<\/a>, whos been speaking to the education secretary, on secretary,
Gillian Keegan<\/a>, on these crumbling schools. Well, these crumbling schools. Well, good morning to you again, chris. And what did
Gillian Keegan<\/a> say. Keegan have to say. Well, she said that there will be a list published very soon and of course the government is hoping mikes off. Can can you hear me now . Okay. Can can you hear me now . Okay. Sorry about that. But lets be sorry about that. But lets be technical issues. Gillian keegan technical issues. Gillian keegan was saying there that they will pubush was saying there that they will publish a list as soon as they can of the schools affected. Theyre delaying it because theyre trying to make sure they get schools first and get to the schools first and make theyve told parents. Make sure theyve told parents. Labours push pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll push pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try push pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try andyush pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try and 2101 pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try and do a pace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try and do a vote ace make sure theyve told parents. Labctheyll try and do a vote on and theyll try and do a vote on wednesday. We think to try and force the government release force the government to release the the 150 or so the list of the 150 or so schools this rack schools affected by this rack issue. Theres more than issue. But theres more than that, it that, im afraid, eamonn. It goes to 1500 more yet to goes up to 1500 more yet yet to report back on the condition of their concrete. And when that comes this number could comes back this number could grow but not grow and grow. But were not anywhere near the end of this issue. Now, course, course, not. Now, of course, were not. But what, chris . But but you know what, chris . Shell in the house today. Shell speak in the house today. Ill be interested to see what she but you say were not she says. But you say were not anywhere of it. Anywhere near the end of it. What to know when did what i want to know is when did it begin . Shes not in that job it begin . Shes not in that job a year. Well, it begin . Shes not in that job a year. Well, she it begin . Shes not in that job a year. Well, she arrived it begin . Shes not in that job a year. Well, she arrived in her office. Her newly refurbished office, and did anybody say minister , the secretary of minister, the secretary of state. Top of the list. Weve state. Top of the list. Weve got to you , theres 170 got to tell you, theres 170 schools that are going to fall down in britain if we dont do something about them. When i wonder when she was told, did you find that out . Well she said you find that out . Well she said they they they were aware of it. They sent out questionnaires in april last year and theyve got back a lot of them this summer. And then it was brought into sharp focus when there was a collapse school, a collapse in the school, i think was in kent. And that think it was in kent. And that meant that government had to meant that the government had to act i guess act suddenly because i guess in all government have all of government you have things things things theres always things might and might happen at any point and youre work out when youre trying to work out when youre trying to work out when you or not you have to take action or not take action. Tories are take action. The tories are saying to me today that these issues since the issues have been going since the 90s 99, 2002, two thousand 90s 97, 99, 2002, two thousand and seven. There are warnings the
Labour Government<\/a>, of course. Then the tories came in, they
Schools Programme<\/a> they cut the
Schools Programme<\/a> into in and then of course into in 2010 and then of course 2021. Rishi sunak as chancellor, according to a senior
Education Department<\/a> official today he cut spending on making some of these schools safe from safety critical spheres. So throughout over the past 30 years there have been politicians of all stripes avoiding this issue. But i think the chickens have come home to roost this summer with these questionnaires coming back. They say for 1500 are still to go and often the delay is caused by schools not filling them in academies. But i think them in academies. But i think the focus right now in westminster today is about getting these questionnaires back in, getting an idea on the scale of the problem, then deaung scale of the problem, then dealing with it. But course, dealing with it. But of course, theres competing demands theres always competing demands on and thats on spending money, and thats why its when becomes why its only when it becomes a big critical issue that money is spent properly. Spent properly. Thank youve got chris, thank you. Youve got the. We look forward the interview. We look forward to seeing that all day here on gb appreciate that. Were gb news. Appreciate that. Were going to be speaking to labour labours reaction after this short break we are just getting obviously a lot of political reaction as westminster wakes up today. Westminster wakes up today. Thangam debbonaire is the shadow leader of the house of commons. Were delighted to welcome her on this. The day the labour party is set for a reshuffle today. Party is set for a reshuffle today. Thangam morning today. Thangam good morning to you in a busy day. Good morning. Its back to school for you but hardly back to school for a lot of people in the country. And i just want to say, can you guysin and i just want to say, can you guys in the labour party, can you hold hands up and say you hold your hands up and say we are without sin on this concrete situation. Concrete situation. Absolutely. When the tory government in ended in 1997 and a
Labour Government<\/a> took over , a
Labour Government<\/a> took over, we put in place the building schools for the future programme and thats because we knew that there were 10,000 buildings that had been built before 1941 who were going to come to end of were going to come to the end of their by 2020 a their design life by 2020 and a further 14,000 that were built in 60s 70s and 80s that in the 60s and 70s and 80s that also needed to be refurbished, rebuilt or replaced 2020. Now rebuilt or replaced by 2020. Now the then came in in 2010 the tories then came in in 2010 with their lib dem partners and cancelled programme since cancelled that programme since which we have seen a which time we have seen a process of managed decline by successive tory governments failing to get a grip on this problem. Lurching from crisis to crisis. And we come then to the last few years in which rishi sunak then chancellor, halved the amount of
Building Maintenance<\/a> budget in 2020. Weve had a failure of gross excess rent to get a grip of the problem since then. In 2018, part of a
School Building<\/a> collapse because of the reinforce concrete that is five years ago. But even this year in may, the labour party pushed them to reveal the schools that were a problem. But the figures you mentioned are immense. Theyre absolutely immoral. Theyre absolutely immoral. All as well. Yes, but are you saying that the conservative government or the
Coalition Government<\/a> or the
Coalition Government<\/a> actually knew that there was a danger that some of these schools could disintegrate , fall down, come apart, whatever. Whatever. If they want to pretend that they didnt think it was a good idea, that they thought it was a goodidea idea, that they thought it was a good idea to cut
School Maintenance<\/a> thats on them. School ,
School School<\/a> rebuilding, school refurbishing school refurbishing and
School Maintenance<\/a> are absolute critical. Experts are critical. Building experts are there to advise government. The government has resources government has the resources of the service and building the
Civil Service<\/a> and building experts call on. They were experts to call on. They were warned in practical, real terms when a beam when a part of a school roof collapsed in 2018. In kent, theyve been warned by successive government reports. Successive government reports. The
National Audit<\/a> office has reported even this summer they could come clean, even this could have come clean, even this summer, the extent of the summer, about the extent of the damage. Weve damage. But what weve got instead day when instead is on a day when children excited and children should be excited and looking to getting back looking forward to getting back to learning. And looking forward to getting back to got learning. And looking forward to getting back to got childreniing. And looking forward to getting back to got children who and looking forward to getting back to got children who will have weve got children who will have got on their got dressed today, put on their school got their packed school uniform, got their packed lunch, then able lunch, and then not being able to now on the top to go to school. Now on the top of three that of the last three years that children had, i think children have had, i think thats because thats a disgrace because children the single children learning is the single best we make countrys best way we make our countrys future better. But also future better. But its also morally. There is morally important. There is a morally important. There is a moral imperative that we do the very best we can for our children. Thats why the last
Labour Government<\/a> the
Labour Government<\/a> had the building future building schools for the future programme the programme and thats why the next government be next
Labour Government<\/a> will be investing money into investing and putting money into our state schools to make sure that have best possible our state schools to make sure that in have best possible our state schools to make sure that in life e best possible our state schools to make sure that in life for best possible our state schools to make sure that in life for ourest possible our state schools to make sure that in life for our children ble our state schools to make sure that in life for our children. Le start in life for our children. Know youve got well, i know youve got a reshuffle to announce what may be the next
Labour Government<\/a> , be the next
Labour Government<\/a>, but im very sorry, but we are out of time on our programme to talk to you about that today.
