Stephen Shrimpton

Jessica Baker
also died in the crash. And four other children were taken to hospital, including a 14 year old boy whose injuries are said to be life changing. The chancellor life changing. The chancellor says reforming the benefits system and
Public Services
could help end the vicious circle of ever rising taxes. In an interview with the times, jeremy hunt indicated the welfare budget could be hit to pave the way for future tax cuts. His comments come on the eve of the tory
Party Conference
, where prominent backbenchers are expected to lower expected to demand lower taxation with dozens including former
Prime Minister
liz truss, pledging they wont support any plan leads to overall plan that leads to overall rises. Former
Party Chairman
sir jake berry , who organised the jake berry, who organised the pledge, says it will hold the chancellor to his word. Chancellor to his word. All too often we have seen these promises and pledges made by mps across the political divide that havent materialised thatis divide that havent materialised that is why this tax pledge is different. It isnt connected to the conservative party. It is a direct pledge from me and my constituents in rossendale and dannen and to the british people that i will not vote to put taxes up. Its for keeps. It is a pledge that i will stick to as long as i am a member of parliament. Meanwhile, the
Prime Minister
has vowed to focus on policies that stem the relentless attack on motorists. Rishi sunaks arrived in manchester ahead of the
Party Conference
, where he is expected to address the issue this week. He told the sun he is to slam the brakes on harebrained schemes such as blanket, 20 mile an hour speed limits and low traffic neighbourhoods. The department for transport says guidance will be reviewed to prevent their blanket use in england. Todays blanket use in england. Todays train strike in england, which caused major disruption across the country, was for industrial rather than political reasons. Rather than political reasons. Thats the view of aslefs general secretary mick whelan as drivers from 16 operators in england walked out. Another strike is planned for wednesday, coinciding with the beginning and end of the tory
Party Conference
. Transport secretary mark harper says the current offer on the table is reasonable. In many parts of the country had no service at all and those that did run finished earlier than usual and hundreds of demonstrators have staged a protest against the rosebank offshore development. They were rallying in
Central London
demanding the government ricans consider approval for the

Horgan Wallace
and chloe dobbs. Here you go. And chloe dobbs. Here you go. What a sight for sore eyes. Tonight, ill be asking the pundits on the eve of their annual conference. Are the tories still the nasty party . A phrase coined by theresa may and as the cost of living bites is aldi , the new waitrose plus the aldi, the new waitrose plus the most important part of the show. Your emails as they come straight to this. My laptop mark at gbnews. Com. And this show has at gbnews. Com. And this show has a golden rule. A very strict golden rule. What is that rule . Golden rule. What is that rule . Absolutely right. Thats right. Absolutely right. Thats right. We dont do boring. Not on my we dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. So watch. I just wont have it. So a big two hours to come. We start with my big opinion. Piece start with my big opinion. Piece peter kay, who i think we can all agree is an extraordinary comic genius. And the man behind phoenix nights and car share, as well as those stand up tours which break attendance records every time they happen. Well like a canary in the coal mine , like a canary in the coal mine, he has flagged up genuine concerns about the stifling
Political Correctness
which is infecting the world of comedy and beyond. With this bold and beyond. With this bold interview version, he demonstrates that hes not only funny but brave too. Most of the big name stars in comedy wont speak out as they dont want to lose any gigs. Theyd rather lose any gigs. Theyd rather turn a blind eye to the increasingly soviet levels of censorship that weve got that creative people now face. And the reason why these big names dont speak out is because they want to keep their tv shows, their book deals, their corporate appearances and their stadium filling tours. The number of comedians with the to call out this hellish woke assault on their craft. It is assault on their craft. It is few and far between. In french few and far between. In french and saunders. Theyve spoken out john cleese, jemmy carr and ricky gervais. Thats all weve ricky gervais. Thats all weve got , though ricky gervais. Thats all weve got, though millionaire funnyman
Graham Norton
went the other way and framed cancel culture as worthy punishment for wrong speak. Worthy punishment for wrong speak. He called it speak. He called it accountability or something. Jemmy carr , who i hugely admire jemmy carr, who i hugely admire , even has a part in his new show where he tells the jokes that he wont be allowed to tell in ten years time. This is progress, is it . How dare this country call itself the home of intellectual freedom . Do me a favour comedy in britain is getting so woke its starting to make north korea look like the home of free speech in an article in todays mail newspaper , peter kay is quoted newspaper, peter kay is quoted as defending
Little Britain
, for example. Well come to the clown world, by the way, of 2023, where you have to defend and speak up for a show that was watched and enjoyed by millions people of all backgrounds, of all races, creeds and colours , all races, creeds and colours, but now pathetically, the bbc seem to be ashamed of
Little Britain
. It was a show that britain. It was a show that reflected diverse britain and sent up anyone and everyone. But apparently thats not allowed anymore. Some communities need to need to be shielded from this dangerous comedy. If you think dangerous comedy. If you think about it, a satirical takedown of
British Society
should be universal. And to say, oh, you cant joke about this group or that group is surely the ultimate prejudice , the ultimate ultimate prejudice, the ultimate bigotry. Well come to woke. So bigotry. Well come to woke. So its okay to dress up as characters like lazy, welfare dependent vicky pollard, the pretend disabled andy pipkin, or the welsh gay character daffyd. But no one else. Wouldnt that be diverse city if you took the piss of everyone and had a comic portrait of our entire diverse country . Be too much for the country . Be too much for the woke taliban who
Love Division
and exclusion , then make it make and exclusion, then make it make sense. And exclusion, then make it make sense. Peter kay actually sense. Peter kay actually appeared in
Little Britain
defending it. He said it was far from being politically correct, but thats what made it funny. He goes on to say probably that show wouldnt get made now , the show wouldnt get made now, the shows creators, he says , have shows creators, he says, have taken a lot of flak in the past few years for the work they did, and that is a shame to right it is. He added that comedy is now such a minefield and says that
Political Correctness
is changing all the time. He insisted that whilst sometimes good comes from being pc, most of the time its a hindrance. There are still a few gems out there like peter kay and the very un pc
Comedian Dave Chappelle
in the
United States
who are pushing back on this. But there are not enough of them. Have you noticed how bonng them. Have you noticed how boring modern comedy is . Why have the viewing figures for programmes like live at the apollo plummeted . And why do sitcoms feel more like a lecture than a laugh these days . Comedy is supposed to be edgy. Its supposed to be naughty. Its there to make people uncomfortable. Comedy is the art of saying things out loud so that youre not supposed to say andits that youre not supposed to say and its supposed to be funny. Which is why these censorious thugs must not prevail. Comedy thugs must not prevail. Comedy is the ultimate barometer of a free society, and im afraid in this country, famous for its comedy, life is getting less funny by the day. At which funny by the day. At which point, whats the point of life without humour if there isnt one . The tedious and troubling woke takeover of comedy is no laughing matter. What do you think , mark at gb what do you think, mark at gb news talks . Im delighted that news talks . Im delighted that peter kay has the cajones to call out this issue the terrible censorship in the world of comedy. But what do you think . Comedy. But what do you think . Do you enjoy modern comedy . Does it make you laugh . Mark it make you laugh . Mark gbnews. Com lets hear from my top pundits tonight. Gbnews. Com lets hear from my top pundits tonight. Chloe top pundits tonight. Chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator. We have former labour mp
Simon Danczuk
and
Television Personality
ashlyn horgan. Wallace let me start horgan. Wallace let me start with you, if i may. Simon ive had enough of woke comedy. What do you think . Oh, well, i think peter kay is exactly right. Im a big fan of peter kay. Ive seen him live. Were both from lancashire. We followed the same diet. So and what he says is diet. And so and what he says is right, red garlic bread. Absolutely. He does he tells absolutely. And he does he tells jokes about lancashire people and how they live their lives , and how they live their lives, you know, is highly popular. But this about the this is all about the intelligentsia that run the bbc and elsewhere. I dont believe that the public are intelligent enough to get the difference between whats funny , whats between whats funny, whats racist everything else. So racist and everything else. So they that they have to they believe that they have to filter in some way. Its filter it in some way. Its completely unacceptable that the general intelligent general public are intelligent enough to whats funny, enough to gauge whats funny, what they appreciate, and how they it. And its not they appreciate it. And its not for the bbc or anybody else to limit that in some way. Thats the problem. And also, is it not an prejudice to have an act of prejudice to have a comedy show about britain and not include people of colour . In thats the because in a way, thats the logic of the criticism of
Little Britain
its the characters britain is its the characters of colour, which apparently now have badly, but surely have aged so badly, but surely if youre going to lampoon the country, you lampoon everyone. Yeah , absolutely. I think yeah, absolutely. I think youre right to make youre exactly right to make that why is acceptable that point. Why is it acceptable to joke about disabled people or welsh people . But you cant do welsh people . But you cant do it in terms of ethnic city. Its just not acceptable. As you say. Lets have fun about everybody involved in this country, not just limited groups of people. Chloe, youll be aware of the character in the simpsons called apu, the friendly indian shopkeepen do apu, the friendly indian shopkeeper. Do you know . Shopkeeper. Do you know . Yes, that rings a bell. I havent watched it for many years, but i do vaguely remember charming character. Actually, apu, great guy, actually, apu, a great guy, excellent man, runs excellent family man, runs a successful business and hes. Successful business and hes. Hes well, hes been hes asian. Well, hes been cancelled by the simpsons because apparently that is a stereotype of an asian man. So is that progress . Is that progress . No, its not what i really dont get is why is it so hard for people to understand that when comedians make a joke, theyre actually joking. They dont what they say. I dont mean what they say. I mean, thats just so simple and its such a shame. Britain i think, has had some of the best comedy in the world as one thing that we should be very proud of as brits. And now we see
Little Britain
and
Amazing Things
being taken then taken off the internet. And then
Matt Lucas David Walliams
matt lucas and
David Walliams
being apologise. I being forced to apologise. I went to the first
Live Performance
of ricky gervaiss supernature tour and it was just so refreshing. He just said, whatever he wanted and didnt care. I havent seen the netflix version to see what they cut out, but in the real raw version, it was just so refreshing thing was it un pc oh, it was so un pc but you just dont see that anymore in the comedy that you see online. Its bonng comedy that you see online. Its boring now. Boring now. I mean, ashlene there is a flip side to this program makers. Comedians are thinking that the world has changed and youve got to be very sensitive about certain groups in society. Many people would argue that the
Little Britain
characters that were of colour was effectively blackface and could be deeply offensive. I mean , perhaps , maybe, yes. I mean, perhaps, maybe, yes. But i just think people need to just chill out and be able to laugh at themselves because if we cant laugh at ourselves, why else have we got . The worlds a very serious place as it is. Like comedy saves so much mental health, so i dont know the worry ive got ashlene and i certainly noticed this in emails to the show and as i go about my life, that its not only comedians that are self censoring and worried about what jokes make. Jokes they make. Ive got viewers and listeners are afraid to listeners that are afraid to make work or even make a remark at work or even around the dinner table. Make a remark at work or even around the dinner table. Yeah, around the dinner table. Yeah, because, you might because, you know, you might make off remark in make an off colour remark in a meeting at work and then get a disciplinary well , thats what i disciplinary well, thats what i mean. Everyones just so afraid of what to say , what they can say what to say, what they can say and what they cant say. Even me. I am. Im like, oh god, i dont want to offend this. This this lot of people or that lot of is that any way to live your life . No, its not. But its the way the world right now, way of the world right now, isnt it . What are supposed isnt it . What are we supposed to of. Youve got to do . You kind of. Youve got to do . You kind of. Youve got to fight against it. Rage against go with to fight against it. Rage against it go with to fight against it. Rage against it was go with to fight against it. Rage against it was simon. Go with it. Was it was simon. Was a professor was an there was a professor was an academic, and he was in a
Department Store
with some other colleagues. And they were going up to floor. It was some up to the top floor. It was some work related thing. Someone work related thing. And someone got said, got into the lift and said, anyone me to sort of anyone wants me to sort of choose a floor. He said, choose a floor. And he said, yeah, take me the lingerie yeah, take me to the

And what i would say , as yes. And what i would say, as you say, is of the bbc intelligentsia make this up, making this up often. If you making this up often. If you actually ask the people that youre saying the group that youre saying are the group that need protecting, thats what they know they actually dont care. I know this comedy, at this isnt about comedy, but at my
University Oxford<\/a> , we had my university in oxford, we had the union rule that the
Student Union<\/a> rule that clapping was now banned at
Oxford University<\/a> because its triggering to disabled people. Triggering to disabled people. Right . And then someone actually separately did a vote solely with disabled students. And it was a unanimous no to the ban. None of the disabled students actually cared about the clapping. Thats just goes to clapping. So thats just goes to obviously its not comedy, but its principle. Right. Its the same principle. Right. And thats what were seeing. Ask the people we need to ask the people that theyre discussing, that group they really group of people if they really they want to live their they just want to live in their own bubble virtue own little bubble and virtue signal.

Political Correctness<\/a>. He said its a minefield. Now thats the its a minefield. Now thats the topic of my big opinion, which will be on twitter shortly. But the emails are coming in thick and fast. Mark at gbnews. Com and and fast. Mark at gbnews. Com and we will start with a very wise email from william. Good email from william. Good evening, william. First email of the of the show so far comedy is self regulating , says william self regulating, says william low. Attendance yes. And then the show is cancelled , but the show is cancelled, but original comedy is high attendance. Even the beeb has to introduce canned laughter now because there is no comedy. William i do agree. I think comedy is dying, william i do agree. I think comedy is dying , kathy says, hi comedy is dying, kathy says, hi mark thank goodness. I grew up in the 70s and the 80s when comedy was comedy. Nothing was pc and
Bernard Manning<\/a> was king. The amazing
Fawlty Towers<\/a> would never be made now , and its never be made now, and its a loss to weep over as a woman of a certain age, if comedy doesnt make me wish id worn my tenor lady, then its not funny enough. Well, we might have entered the realms of much entered the realms of too much information there, kathy, but thank for that. And three thank you for that. And three kisses. Honestly, im. Kisses. I mean, honestly, im. Im rotten. Last but not im spoilt rotten. Last but not least, on this one, dawn says mark in the carry on films they did not actually say anything offensive. It was our dirty minds that interpreted everything in a rude and hilarious way. The wonderfully hilarious way. The wonderfully funny films dawn , youre so funny films dawn, youre so right.

And tonight, rumours are swirling that king charles is keen to hit the reset button and reconcile with prince harry amid reports that the us based prince is looking to return to the uk. That the us based prince is looking to return to the uk. In recent years the tension has heightened within the royal family following comments made by prince harry in both his memoir, spare and the duke and duchesss netflix docu series harry and meghan. So he is a palace peace deal in the offing. Lets speak to top royal insider
Lady Victoria<\/a> harvey. Victoria,
Lady Victoria<\/a> harvey. Victoria, great to have you on the show. Do you think that there is hope for this relationship up . For this relationship up . Um, yes. I mean, i do. At the um, yes. I mean, i do. At the end of the day, he is seeking son. He is the second son in line to the throne. I mean, after williams children. And its very important, i think, that they make amends if that was going to happen soon, i dont know. Um would harry move back . Would meghan agree to move back . Would meghan agree to move back . I dont really see that back . I dont really see that likely. But anything is possible i yes. I mean, victoria to is a reconciliation option possible while harry and meghan are still married , im not hearing the married, im not hearing the volume. Oh, dear. We need to. I volume. Oh, dear. We need to. I could shout if you like. Victoria i think its a fascinating debate. This i would absolutely love to see the king and harry to reconcile as victoria just said, they are father and son, so not only is this drama bad news for their relationship ship and emotionally painful , its also emotionally painful, its also bad news for the monarchy. And its a headache for the king. It is a political and personal problem. And i do think its probably charless greatest challenge. But i probably charless greatest challenge. Buti do probably charless greatest challenge. But i do see two stumbling blocks. I think one, the other half, she who must be obeyed, are indoors. Meghan obeyed, are indoors. Meghan markle, i wont call her woke mono because thats on pc. But theres another stumbling block i think and its
Prince William<\/a> i think and its
Prince William<\/a> i think and its
Prince William<\/a> i think
Prince William<\/a> could be anissue i think
Prince William<\/a> could be an issue because he is reported to be boiling with rage about about harrys behaviour in the last few years. Well, im last few years. Well, im delighted to say victoria is back online and weve put \u00a30. 10 in the metre victoria , do you in the metre victoria, do you think that william could be a barrier to reconciliation because youve told me in the past that he is known to be furious with his brother . Well, i think spare really hasnt helped a lot of things between their relationship , you between their relationship, you know, william and harry, everything that he kind of put out about william , he didnt out about william, he didnt really appreciate any of that. So i think its going to be quite challenging for sure. I dont think its going to be an easy ride for harry at all. Do you know how much emotion and turmoil charles has been through in regards to harry . Because he is fond of his son . Is he . This is not only an issue of concern for the monarchy, the institution. This is a father institution. This is a father that has suffered and at the end of the day, you know , like like of the day, you know, like like i said, hes his father. But he has to also play the role of the monarch. Now and he has to be it has to be sort of tough love as well. But, you know , everyone is going to be know, everyone is going to be looking at are they capable of bringing back, you know, this the unity in the family , which the unity in the family, which is so important, which has really been lacking. We saw that really been lacking. We saw that dunng really been lacking. We saw that during the coronation and jubilee and, you know, just even seeing the balcony looking very empty. I seeing the balcony looking very empty. I think a lot of seeing the balcony looking very empty. I think a lot of people empty. I think a lot of people have noticed that and would rather see the family unified and together again. And together again. Well, look, we do hope they can patch things up. But listen, lets talk about
David Beckham<\/a> now. Victoria, if we can. An he, of course, wants so much with manchester united. He was at one point englands tallies manic captain a new
Netflix Series<\/a> is about to drop about his life and career. Do you think that hes a true british icon. In look , he true british icon. In look, he is he is a massive icon, not justin is he is a massive icon, not just in football, but he is a he is one of the biggest icons. Um , of sport. And um, you um, of sport. And um, you know, its been kind of a long time coming, i think he has been wanting to have this knighthood. And theres been talk about it for the last two decades. Um as far as ive, ive heard. So you know, i think he does deserve it. And and i hope he gets it this time. This time. Yeah. Do you know david . Did weve met. You know weve met sort of on the scene in and just always seems like very pleasant kind of person and i think you know what hes done with charities, with everything that hes done in his life. I think its sort of at this point in his career, like ten years after he left the game. And its sort of like the right timing, i think, to be knighted. Yes, of course, we know that a big aspect of his life is his family and that marriage, i mean, thats the bedrock of his brand, isnt it, as well as his life. Yeah, i think what is it, 26 years . They have been married, which is very impressive, actually , for a couple to be in actually, for a couple to be in the spotlight like they are. But the spotlight like they are. But they complement each other and its sort of like its their brand. You know, becks , its the brand. You know, becks, its the posh and becks brand. And i posh and becks brand. And i think without each other, they are not as powerful. Are not as powerful. Well, indeed. So and it seems to be a happy marriage after what was a hard time early in their marriage. And of course, their marriage. And of course, the affair with rebecca loos. Well, well publicised. Do you think hes kept the trouser snake in order since i have no idea. But i think look, a lot of a lot of men have affairs busted. You know , it was just a little you know, it was just a little unfortunate and for men in the pubuc unfortunate and for men in the public eye like that, it its very daring, i would say, for them to even try and embark on any kind of affair. Yeah, no, indeed. I happen to know from
Good Authority<\/a> hes hes the ultimate family man. So good luck to him. And lastly , good luck to him. And lastly, what about the future for posh and beckham will be will we be talking about them in ten, 20 years time . Years time . I think they will still be going. I think theyll still be the posh and becks, 70. You can see it right. Itll still be see it right. Itll still be a brutal theyll have the grandchildren by then and i just think theyd like one of the most iconic couples that we have in england. In england. Well, look , good luck to the well, look, good luck to the pair of them. I must say, im a great admirer of both of them. As am i of you, victoria. We as am i of you, victoria.

It is time to stop the award of these irrelevant titles. Dear mark says. Peter in cumbria. When it is revealed cumbria. When it is revealed that the beckhams promote and fundraise for transgenderism and child trafficking, what excuse will the media come up with . Well, peter, i have no evidence thats what they do. But of course, youre entitled to your view. Okay, well, look, lets. View. Okay, well, look, lets. Oh, this is quite a good one, william. Not william, of course, william.

Have you forgotten winger back. Have you forgotten spare already . And definitely spare already . And definitely not meghan. I could not watch not meghan. I could not watch your defence of the young prince. Well, thank you for that. Its all about opinions. Keep them coming. Mark at gbnews. Com. Reacting to the big stories day, have stories of the day, we have chloe dobbs ,
Simon Danczuk<\/a> and chloe dobbs,
Simon Danczuk<\/a> and ashlynn
Horgan Wallace<\/a>. Okay, ashlynn
Horgan Wallace<\/a>. Okay, well, look, the concern natives are gathering for their conference, which is happening starting this weekend. Starting tomorrow. Its the eve tonight and rishi sunak has a spring in his step. Hes rethought net his step. Hes rethought net zero. Hes defending drivers and has definitely struck a more popular tone. But of course, theresa may a few years ago famously said the tories are the nasty party. So are they still chloe dobbs i think that they definitely will continue to be known as the nasty party, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. The tory party showing a bit of bravery lately with
Suella Braverman<\/a> for example, standing up against the migrant crisis and saying, you know what, just because you say youre gay doesnt mean youre automatically allowed in the country. Thats going to mean. And with and also, of course, with the rwanda theyre to rwanda plan, theyre going to get called racist for that. Rishi clamping down on rishi sunak clamping down on that zero is going to be called anti climate. The nasty party. Weve now also got questions about welfare payments , maybe about welfare payments, maybe some reform to that. Of course, there will be called the tories that dont care about the poor. Theyll be known as a nasty party. But i think they will get more they actually show more votes if they actually show that and that theyre doing something and have bravery. Have got a bit of bravery. Will have been in simon you will have been in parliament when theresa may made that think it was at that remark, i think it was at conference she was home conference when she was the home secretary. She trying to secretary. She was trying to lance the boil and address the image is it image the tories had. Is it still the nasty party . No, dont think theyve no, i dont think theyve ever nasty and ever been the nasty party and i think is thats come about think that is thats come about from somebody like theresa may, who on the left within the who is on the left within the conservative party. Shes a conservative of wet, as you would them. Would call them. And she announced herself as woke ago. Yeah, absolutely. Well, it confirms and so well, it confirms it. And so thats left within the thats the left within the conservative cow conservative party trying to cow the right within the party and thats why its got itself in such a state as it is now, because the right havent been able to usurp themselves, assert themselves within the party. So theyve been weak on getting economically inactive back into work. Theyve been weak on immigration and theyve been weak on housebuilding. And if weak on housebuilding. And if theyd been more to the right, theyd been more to the right, they had greater they would have had greater appeal public. But appeal to the public. But theyve more liberal theyve been more liberal democrat in actual fact, because they followed people like theresa and thats got them theresa may. And thats got them in the state that theyre in today. Tories the are the tories still the nasty party . Ashley well, if we were, we wouldnt in power. Wouldnt be in power. I say we oops, i just let yeah, we wouldnt, we wouldnt have won the vote, would we . And we won majority up we and we won the majority up north, which used to be labour. So cant be that nasty. We so we cant be that nasty. We must something right. Must be doing something right. You go. Well, look, so there you go. Well, look, its opinions. Do its all about opinions.

Get into scrapes as a child . No. My father was a stunt man , so i sort of more or less fell into it as the which is quite a bit of a pun, but its true. I bit of a pun, but its true. I mean, my dad, he was an actor when he came out of the army and he joined the film business and done a few punch ups and a few bits and pieces and become a stuntman. And there wasnt stuntman. And there wasnt a stuntman. And there wasnt a stuntman around. And he went on stuntman around.

But and as i jumped, it blows up right. But what and as i jumped, it blows up right. But what happened was right. But what happened was i got to the edge and it blew up. In other words, the special effects lit it and it actually blew. They went early it blew. They went early and it wasnt as bad as wasnt supposed to be as bad as that i gone. So i was wasnt supposed to be as bad as that i gone. So i was in that until i gone. So i was in the middle of getting burnt on the middle of getting burnt on the way down. I did get burned. The real injury was was actually the flames rather than the fall. Yes, i see. Yes, i see. But then how did you come to damage your spine . Because fell on to the because i fell on to the ground. Oh sorry. Yeah, i hit one side of the boxes and this side hit the ground. And thats it came up because. Because there was more fire than anticipated. See where the i couldnt see where the boxes were. Yeah, couldnt where yeah, i couldnt see where the boxes. Knew there. I knew they were there. I knew they were there. You leapt the air hoping you leapt into the air hoping you would land on boxes. Youve got it. Because knew youve got it. Because i knew where i if where they were. I was. If you look dont know if you look at it, i dont know if you can see it, but you see me looking around like that. Looking go. And looking where to go. And i realised is realised that over there is my exit. Ran, put my fist up exit. So i ran, put my fist up like that through the flames came out and im falling down into but im not in into the boxes, but im not in the middle them. You have to the middle of them. You have to fall middle. The fall in the middle. Im to the left. What happened . Left. And what happened . My right hand side hit boxes. Right hand side hit the boxes. My hit the ground my left hand side hit the ground and broke my spine. And how bad was the pain and how afraid were you . God, it was crucifying. It was in i was in agony for days. For days. And did you after that, you made a recovery . I did. It took eight i did. It took me eight weeks, eight weeks. The fear, were you left with the fear, though . Diminish though . Did it diminish your courage . Is courage . The answer to that is no. No. Quite amazing. No, i dont know i mean, i still know why. I mean, i still i still do job again , if still do the job again, if youre the stunt double for roger moore or sean connery, which you were, do you develop a relationship with them . So. Very much so. Very much so. I love roger sean was i love roger and sean was a lovely too. I mean, but lovely man, too. I mean, but rogenl lovely man, too. I mean, but roger, i did most of the saints with him. Yeah. And all them. With him. Yeah. And all them. The. Mission impossible , not the. The mission impossible, not mission impossible. What do you call it with tony curtis protectors . Protectors . Oh, the persuaders persuaders i you got it . Yeah, i did a lot of dabbling for him on those. So, tony curtis, sean connery and they must appreciate the work you do because you do the jobs they want to. Jobs they dont want to. Theres always a question. Theres always a question. Can they . Cant they . The answer is if they get hurt. Yeah, the films finished. If i get hurt , they replace rocky get hurt, they replace rocky taylor. So theres quite a simple answer. I dont know simple answer. I dont know whether they can do it or want to do it, but theyre not going to do it, but theyre not going to do it in case they get hurt. And thats the bottom line of it all, is being a stuntman acting . Yes, i presume. It is. Yes, i presume. I think it is. Id like to be a of an actor id like to be a bit of an actor or daddy was, you know. So. Or like daddy was, you know. So. Yeah but they dont seem to want to give stuntman acting roles anymore. I to give stuntman acting roles anymore. I dont to give stuntman acting roles anymore. I dont know why. Anymore. I dont know why. No, i think it was
Quentin Tarantino<\/a> that had a woman stunt performer that wound up fronting one of his films. I forget the name now, but its quite rare that you stay in, stay in the shadows, have cgi and special effects diminished the art of being a stunt man . Being a stunt man . I hate cgi, to be honest with you. I mean, we have to have it. You mean you get an arrow going in your accountant hates cgi, you get an arrow going in there and comes out. You know, and blood comes out. You know, theyve cgi. Yeah, theyve got to cgi. Yeah, because do for because you cant do that for real. We know that. And you get shot. The arm and eyes. Shot.

Was 3000 foot because i, i can go a long get it as long as they want. Its quite remarkable. Im not a its quite remarkable. Im not a lover of cgi , but i presume we lover of cgi, but i presume we have to have it in this modern day. Although whats good is that there seems to be a sort of resurgence of actual stunt men and stunt women and the things are getting more realistic. Again including tom cruise, whos famous. Tom, i just funnily enough, ive just finished the
Tom Cruise Mission<\/a> impossible. One, two. I started to do the strike. The actors strike, right. They stopped making number two, so i only did one. When you say one, you mean part one of the new.

United Kingdom<\/a> and across the world. This is mark dolan tonight in my take at ten,
Suella Braverman<\/a> refuses a meeting about immigration with the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby. Shes absolutely right. Its the shes absolutely right. Its the government running the country , government running the country, not the woke church of england , not the woke church of england, as even the guardian gave up on him. Is it game over forjoe him. Is it game over for joe biden . And should he step aside in the race for the white house in the race for the white house in 2024 . Ill be speaking to a top political commentator live from the
United States<\/a>. Let me tell you, shes a character, sparks will fly. Plus tomorrows newspaper, front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonights top pundits. So a packed show, lots to get through. But first, the news. A good friend of mine, mr
Aaron Armstrong<\/a>. I thank you , mark. Armstrong. I thank you, mark. Im
Aaron Armstrong<\/a> in the newsroom. Lets get you up to newsroom. Lets get you up to date with the headlines. The family of the school coach driver who died in a crash on the wirral yesterday have described him loving described him as a loving husband say husband and father. They say
Stephen Shrimpton<\/a> suffered medical issues at the wheel of the. The 40 year old was the coach. The 40 year old was a father to two children, 15 year old
Jessica Baker<\/a> also died in the crash and four other children were taken hospital children were taken to hospital , including year old boy , including a 14 year old boy whose injuries are said be whose injuries are said to be life changing. The chancellor life changing. The chancellor says the reforming the benefit system and
Public Services<\/a> could help end the vicious circle of ever rising taxes. In an ever rising taxes. In an interview with the times, jeremy hunt indicated the welfare budget could be hit to pave the way for future tax cuts. His comments come on the eve of the tory
Party Conference<\/a>, where prominent backbenchers are expected to demand tax expected to demand lower tax ation with dozens, including former
Prime Minister<\/a> liz truss pledging they wont support any plan that leads to overall rises. Former
Party Chairman<\/a> sir jake berry , who organised the jake berry, who organised the pledge , says this time its pledge, says this time its a promise politicians will keep. Promise politicians will keep. All too often we have seen these promises and pledges made by mps across the political divide that havent materialised. That is why this tax pledge is different. It isnt connected to the conservative party. It is a conservative party. It is a direct pledge from me and my constituents in rossendale and dannen and to the british people that i will not vote to put taxes up. Its for keeps. It is a pledge that i will stick to as long as i am a member of parliament. Meanwhile, the
Prime Minister<\/a> , rishi sunak, has vowed to focus on policies that stem the relentless attack on motorists. Hes arrived in manchester ahead of the
Party Conference<\/a> where hes expected to address the issue this week. He told the sun earlier he is to slam the brakes on harebrained schemes such as the blanket. 20 mile an hour speed limits and ltns low traffic neighbourhoods. The department for transport says the guidance will be reviewed to prevent their blanket use in england. Prime minister aslef has denied that todays train strikes were politically motivated after the government said it was to coincide with the tory
Party Conference<\/a>. And thats the view of aslef general secretary mick whelan as drivers from 16 operators in england walked out. Another one is planned for wednesday , which planned for wednesday, which coincides with the end of the conference. Transport secretary mark harper says the current offer on the table is reasonable. While many parts of the country had no services as those that did run finished earlier and hundreds of demonstrators have been staging a protest against the rosebank offshore development in
Central London<\/a>. Theyre demanding the government reconsider approval for the
Controversial Oil<\/a> field. Its located 80 miles west of shetland and is the uks largest untapped field. Its thought to contain up to 300
Million Barrels<\/a> of oil. That is it for barrels of oil. That is it for the moment here on gb news. Ill be back with more a little later. But now it is back over to. Mark to. Mark thanks , aaron. It is saturday thanks, aaron. It is saturday night. Welcome to mark dolan. Tonight as even the guardian gave up on him. Is it game over gave up on him. Is it game over for joe biden . Should he step aside in the for race the white house in 2024 . Ill be speaking to a top political commentator later live from the
United States<\/a>. Plus, we will get states. Plus, we will get a professional verdict on his cognitive health. Plus, tomorrows newspaper front pages and live reaction in the studio from my top pundits this evening , former labour mp
Simon Danczuk<\/a> , freshly married. Look at that beaming grin of his. Weve also got the brilliant tv personality and entrepreneur ashlene
Horgan Wallace<\/a> and the brilliant chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator and tiktok broadcaster. She is the future. Broadcaster. She is the future. Theyll be nominating their headune theyll be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. And dont forget, those papers are coming. But first, my take. At ten. But first, my take. At ten. Jesus mary and joseph, the home secretary, were told, has ignored calls for talks over immigration policy from the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, who previously declared the governments rwanda policy to be against the judgement of god. Well im glad to know the two of them are still in touch. However, mrs. Braverman has , we however, mrs. Braverman has, we are told, so far refused a meeting. Ive got to say , i meeting. Ive got to say, i really dont blame her if i was invited to tea round at old welbys place, id have to tell him im washing my hair. Which, as you know , doesnt happen very as you know, doesnt happen very often. I know welby sits in the often. I know welby sits in the house of lords and hes allowed a political view. But these days he sounds like an actual politician and probably a labour one. Youd think he didnt have anything better to do. Like comment on the huge social and moral problems facing this country , i. E. The collapse of country, i. E. The collapse of the family, broken homes, children born out of wedlock and an explosion in crime and antisocial behaviour. Youd antisocial behaviour. Youd think hed be more focussed on a growing financial crisis within his own organisation as they consolidate parishes and try to save money, not helped, of course, by his decision to create a fund that will effectively pay reparations for the churchs debateable links to slavery. So whether its slavery slavery. So whether its slavery , reparations, immigration or his lust for net zero, it seems welby will stop at nothing to boost his woke credentials. His boost his woke credentials. His pronouncements on illegal immigration, hint towards a looser borders policy for the
United Kingdom<\/a>. No wonder braverman doesnt want to engage with him. In my view, hes yet another privileged celebrity insulated from the real world consequences of his virtuous pronouncements. I doubt that pronouncements. I doubt that welby struggles to get a gp appointment. His accommodation is lavish and with these comments he appears completely unaware of how small communities around the country have been impacted by thousands of people accommodated in local hotels at accommodated in local hotels at a cost of \u00a37 million a day. The illegal migrant crossings are tragic. They are an economic tragic. They are an
Economic National Security<\/a> and humanitarian disaster order. They are based on a cruel and criminal business model. People will have perished on those crossings and earlier this year, the mail reported that 19 suspected terrorists, including the mail reported that 19 five linked to isis, were living in taxpayer funded migrant hotels. Our terrorists morally hotels. Our terrorists morally unaccept mr welby if you look at the polling, welby appears to be dividing his flock. You wouldnt dividing his flock. You wouldnt know this if you only read the guardian, but a majority of the pubuc guardian, but a majority of the public want an end to these unedifying, chaotic, dangerous illegal crossings, and the pubuc illegal crossings, and the public want more sustainable levels of legal net migration in welby thinks that hes above the will of the people. What do you plebs know . He with a capital h is guided by a higher force. You is guided by a higher force. You might think that stop the boats is designed to put human traffickers out of business and stop people jumping the queue at the expense of those who genuinely deserve asylum. But welby would like to correct you on that. You are ungodly. Youre on that. You are ungodly. Youre a sinner. You can go to hell. Woke welby is out of touch, out of step and out of order. Suella dont bother with that invitation. Tell him youre invitation. Tell him youre washing your hair by pushing back on measures to tackle this problem and therefore unwittingly siding with people traffickers. Its actually welbys view , which is morally welbys view, which is morally unacceptable. Well, may god unacceptable. Well, may god forgive him. Whats your view, forgive him. Whats your view, mark . At cbnnews. Com. Now the church of england and mr welby himself, archbishop welby, would argue that he is a christian leader and he must speak up for any human being that faces privation, that faces the threat of death or torture. And thats of death or torture. And thats why he is so sympathetic to those struggling to get to this country. And of course, that is country. And of course, that is very consistent with his role as the leader of the church of england. So plenty would support his views. Do england. So plenty would support his views. Do you england. So plenty would support his views. Do you let england. So plenty would support his views. Do you let me england. So plenty would support his views. Do you let me know, his views. Do you let me know, mark, at gbnews. Com. The archbishop would argue that his entire approach is compassion. Entire approach is compassion. Ian and thats his job. But let me know what you think. Lets get the views of my top pundits. Chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator, former labour mp
Simon Danczuk<\/a> and
Television Personality<\/a> ashlyn
Horgan Wallace<\/a> let me start with you, if i can. Ashlyn we know that the archbishop is entitled to a political view , but is he political view, but is he becoming political . Becoming political . Well, i just i dont understand why he thinks hes got the right to sort of dictate to suella anything , because i to suella anything, because i came from a really religious background. And if youre studying the bible, the bible says you shouldnt be involved with politics. So if youre a person of god, dont be involved in politics. We wasnt allowed to vote when i was growing up or anything like that , so i dont anything like that, so i dont know where he gets and to know where he gets off. And to be what if suella wants be honest, what if suella wants to have meeting with to go and have a meeting with him him how run his him and tell him how to run his religion . Not going to religion . Its not going to happen. Its not his place. Happen. So its not his place. And finally, if she has and also finally, if she has a meeting with him, she needs to have a meeting with all of the heads of all of the faiths because were a multi faith country. Make it fair and country. So make it fair and make it make sense. Its not his make it make sense. Its not his place. Yes. I mean, chloe, the yes. I mean, chloe, the archbishop would argue that hes speaking up for people who are fleeing persecution in fleeing torture and fleeing potential death as well. Thats his to job speak up for those people. Well i mean, okay, look, he is lord. He is entitled to a political opinion as such. But to say that that
Suella Braverman<\/a> policies go against the judgement of god , that is just a step too far. Youre then making your religion something very political. Look, im an atheist, but i have utmost respect for christians and people of other faiths and i think it is extremely damaging to these faiths. Credibility that theyre now being taken over by politics and is often becoming very woke as well. Now, becoming very woke as well. Now, i dont know if youve seen the sparkle decreed that went sparkle decreed that was went viral from a church in america where suddenly rewrite the where they suddenly rewrite the bible say that jesus is bible and say that jesus is non binary and theyve got pride, all over the pride, flags all over the church. It is really damaging to their image and i think its a great shame. Um. Simon, its the government that run the country, not the church of england. Absolutely. And im all in favour of the house of lords as it but it needs reform. I it is, but it needs reform. I would of the church of would get rid of the church of england bishops the house england bishops from the house of think one of of lords. I think thats one of the reforms that you could make. Other religions dont have any representation in there and i think justin welby is justified in the of getting rid of in the idea of getting rid of them. I think he should concentrate more actually, on sorting england sorting the church of england out. Hes got fewer people attending his churches than ever before. Terrible before. Its got a terrible record in terms of climate change, and its got, im sorry to its got a very to say, its got a very bad record terms of managing record in terms of managing child abuse within the church, focusing those things i think focusing on those things i think are a key focus for him rather than dabble in in politics. Briefly , though, simon, the briefly, though, simon, the archbishop would argue that shipping
Vulnerable People<\/a> , shipping
Vulnerable People<\/a>, flying
Vulnerable People<\/a> to rwanda is cruel and inhuman. Rwanda is cruel and inhuman. Well, not at all. Its a good place to be able to send people to. Thats the reality of it. I know that country very well. But if hes really concerned about this, ive been to lambeth palace on 1 or 2 occasions. I mean, its a vast estate in
Central London<\/a>. If hes that concerned, put some of the
Illegal Immigrants<\/a> up there that had solved some of the problem, wouldnt it . Fascinating debate. What is your view, mark gbnews. Com. Do your view, mark gbnews. Com. Do you want to speak up for the archbishop . Sure archbishop . Because im sure that flock would that half the flock would completely concern is completely agree. My concern is that the other half dont. And i dont that archbishops dont think that archbishops should be dividing the congregation. Rather bring them together as i try to do. Father together as i try to do. Father dolan in my dreams as even the guardian give up on him. Is it game over for joe biden . Should he step aside in the race for the white in 2024 . Ill be the white house in 2024 . Ill be speaking political speaking to a top political commentator from the united commentator live from the
United States<\/a>. Plus, ill getting states. Plus, ill be getting a professional on his professional verdict on his cognitive health. Just how unwell is he . Plus tomorrows papers. All of that well, they did. Emily and i appear on bbc shows. It would not have been hard for a producer from the to bbc call someone from. Gb news papers someone from. Gb news papers coming at 1030 in an exclusive mark dolan tonight peoples poll, weve been asking, are the tories still the nasty party, a term coined by theresa may . Well, the results are in and a minority of 41. 7 say yes they are. But a majority say no, they are. But a majority say no, they are not. 58. 3. The archbishop of canterbury is trying to get a meeting with
Suella Braverman<\/a> to discuss illegal immigration. Shes so far resisted his advances and now a big response on email. Mark gbnews. Com. Mick says mark, i suggest we ask mr welby to open the doors of all of the many churches and properties owned by church , properties owned by the church, and have hell of a lot and they have a hell of a lot and they have a hell of a lot and can allow illegal and they can allow
Illegal Immigrants<\/a> to move in open the doors to his lavish house as well and give it a month or two. He will soon change his woke views. As jerry says, welby views. As jerry says, welby lives in a warm, cosy bubble and usually swims against the tide. My support from the church has diminished , but since he became diminished, but since he became so verbose , boese says jerry , so verbose, boese says jerry, alan and jean have emailed in a joint email. Hello, how are you both . Hope youre enjoying the show and your saturday night. Theyve had to say the following. The worlds greatest needis following. The worlds greatest need is the lord jesus christ, and
Justin Welbys<\/a> role is to preach the gospel, something ive never , ever heard him do. Ive never, ever heard him do. And last but not least, and this is a good one from simon dear mark, archbishop welby should be devoting more time to managing the church of england, which is really struggling post covid. Congregations are dwindling rapidly and income is badly hit. The management of the c of e dunng the management of the c of e during covid was wrong. Closing churches was a poor decision. Rowan williams was brilliant. I wish he had stayed well. Simon. I completely agree. Early in the i completely agree. Early in the pandemic, i was very vocally critical of the churches for closing their doors to parishioners. Part of the parishioners. Part of the lockdown mass. This, at least in lockdown mass. This, at least in my view. Well, look, lots more my view. Well, look, lots more to get through. Its time for us to get through. Its time for us news and as dark clouds hover over the white house, even the left leaning
Guardian Newspaper<\/a> has called time on the current president with an opinion piece by
Timothy Garton<\/a> ash headlined unless joe biden stands aside, the world must prepare for
President Trump<\/a> 2. 0. So are the left deserting him or does he still have a chance of running for the white house in 2024 . Lets speak to top political commentator and the woman known as americas psychotherapist, dr. Carol lieberman. Dr. Carol, great to have you on the show. Has the left given up on joe biden . Well theyre actually poll numbers that are very confusing because on the one hand, yes, there are people who realise that day by day hes becoming more and more demand noted. I mean, you know that i said from the very beginning when he was running for president from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, r president from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that sident from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that he ant from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that he hadrom his basement, that he had encroaching dementia and anybody now can that it has been now can tell that it has been encroaching way too far already. He is past his sell by date , he is past his sell by date, past his expiration date. I past his expiration date. I think he needs to get out of the office, either by impeachment or the 25th amendment or by retirement, which, of course, he would never do. But on the one would never do. But on the one hand, are those people hand, there are those people there polls that say that there are polls that say that people realise that he is has some cognitive problem. Some kind of cognitive problem. But at the same time, there are polls that show that people are going to vote for him. So its because they dont feel like they its they have anybody else. And its really people who really that those people who would for him are would be voting for him are really voting against the repubuc really voting against the republic yes, i mean, republic because yes, i mean, ive been watching quite a lot of cnbc. Of cnn and cnbc. They started to be openly critical of joe biden, which was not the case a year or two ago. And even the ultra woke left wing late night us talk show hosts are joking about his. Hosts are joking about his. Health to. Well, yes. I mean, you know, well, yes. I mean, you know, its just so evident these days. There isnt a day that goes by that he doesnt do something. You forget something important or trip going up or down the plane or , you know, cant find plane or, you know, cant find his way unless he has the easter bunny. Bunny again to help him get to where hes supposed to go after he makes his talk. But the thing is , as much as there are thing is, as much as there are people who recognise his problems and realise he , problems and realise that he, you know, we shouldnt really have president any have him as president any longer, also on the longer, there is also on the other side there is obama who does want him to remain as president. And of course obama has a lot of power in the
Democrat Party<\/a> and he wants to keep biden because he knows that biden isnt all there. And that makes it a lot easier for obama to control him to be the puppet. The puppet master. You are the most high profile psychotherapist in the
United States<\/a>. You are known as americas psychotherapist. This americas psychotherapist. This is an appalling duty of care on joe biden, isnt it . Its this is cruel, too, for the republicans. Sorry, the
Democratic Party<\/a> to let this man still be president. Its unfair still be president. Its unfair on joe biden. On joe biden. Yes, it is. Although its hard to have much sympathy for him. He is running this country into the ground. You know you know, of course, trump says make
America Great<\/a> again. Biden is running on make america woke again or make america broke again or make america broke again. Not that not that america again. Not that not that america was completely broke or completely certainly not completely certainly not completely broke before, but he is just doing one thing. Hes spending money like a drunken sailor. He is the fact that he, through hunter biden, through his son, he is compromised because he feels beholden to certain countries like china or like ukraine because he doesnt want them telling the world the truth about how, you know, hes been paid millions, if not billions, and so he does their bidding. You know , he thats why bidding. You know, he thats why he keeps throwing more and more money to ukraine. Thats one of the main reasons really. And china also , thats why he gives china also, thats why he gives in to china in a lot of different ways. So he is compromising the security of america. Hes letting countless like were talking about like you were talking about before, people before, letting countless people in
America Cross<\/a> the border migrants and putting them up in in, you know, wherever and really destroying city upon city, especially new york. I mean, there are its just its just horrible for kids who are going to school. And now have a whole influx of migrant kids who many of them dont speak english. I mean, it ruins their education money. Of course, you know, there isnt enough money to take care of all these people. So one thing after another and then you know, recently on 9 11, hes the first president who didnt commemorate 9 11 at one of the sites of the 9 11 at one of the sites of the 9 11 attack, either ground zero in new york or the field in pennsylvania or the pentagon. He was in alaska. So he did a lot was in alaska. So he did a lot of other things to try to he keeps doing things to try to make us forget 9 11. So it is justitis make us forget 9 11. So it is just it is just one tragedy, really, after another every day carol. I understand that
Melania Trump<\/a> is reneging dating her prenuptial agreement with donald trump. What does this tell us about the state of their relationship . Do you think . Relationship . Do you think . Well, we both read the daily mail, i guess. I dont know if mail, i guess. I dont know if its true. Um i mean, we dont its true. Um i mean, we dont even know renegotiating it. In what way . I mean, the article said that she wants to make sure that her son has enough money, you know, if they get divorced or, you know, donald is put in pnson or, you know, donald is put in prison or whatever , i mean, prison or whatever, i mean, thats a reasonable thing for a mother thats what its mother to do if thats what its about. But its hard to believe. You there so many you know, there are so many things out that about things that come out that about the trumps that really or the trumps that really arent or that exaggerated any case. I mean, youre an expert yes. I mean, youre an expert on language as well. Do you on body language as well. Do you think that there in a solid marriage . Marriage . I think that they are. I mean, she has is she you know, there have been so many ups and downs in and i think that they are i think, you know, im sure he is not the easiest person to live with. But i do think that there is a lot of affection between the two of them. I think also wouldnt want to also that she wouldnt want to get divorced no matter who she was married to, she was married to, because she really about raising her really cares about raising her son keeping an intact son and about keeping an intact marriage for her son as well. I think its impressive that melania did not divorce donald trump after he ceased to be president. I think that was her escape route. She didnt take it. Carol which suggests that the two are rather happy together. Good luck to them. Can together. Good luck to them. Can donald trump, carol, survive all of these legal challenges . Do of these legal challenges . Do you think . You think . Oh, thats the 64,000 question in. Um, i certainly hope so, because a lot of them are trumped up charges , you are trumped up charges, you know, and the judges or the das the people involved in the cases are so unfair because you know, they we know from their history that they have given money to the democrats. I mean, theyre so they should really be recusing themselves because of their past , recusing themselves because of their past, of their obvious leanings against trump and for the democrats , carol, great to the democrats, carol, great to have you back on the show.

Simon Danczuk<\/a> and ashlene
Horgan Wallace<\/a> right. Dobbs,
Simon Danczuk<\/a> and ashlene
Horgan Wallace<\/a> right. Where do
Horgan Wallace<\/a> right. Where do we start . Well, ive got to say, we start . Well, ive got to say, its the independent and its tories headed for election. Tories headed for election. Wipe out says top pollster. Are you having this simon were the were the pollsters right in your era . Not always. I have to say. Not always. I have to say. John curtis are very well respected. No doubt about that. But hes right to say that the big issue for the government is the economy. Its the economy, stupid, isnt it . That was the whole
Clinton Campaign<\/a> in whole bill
Clinton Campaign<\/a> in the us and it applies as much now. Hes the us and it applies as much now. Hes right to the us and it applies as much now. Hes right to focus on now. Hes right to focus on small boats. Hes right to focus on the nhs. But the big issue will be the economy getting inflation down, even cutting taxes perhaps would give them some some benefit. Well, yes. I mean , john curtis is right. I mean, john curtis is right. He was on the show last week very, very, you know, illustrious man and really the sage of all the pollsters. Sage of all the pollsters. He said that former tory voters, you know, those who lent bo\ufb01s voters, you know, those who lent
Boris Johnson<\/a> their support in 2019 are angry about the economy. As you say, the nhs and immigration on. But on what planet are labour the answer . Well , thats the big issue, well, thats the big issue, isnt it . And when they have come out, theyve come out with very few policies. They came out with immigration a week or two ago and then that was fraught with problems because they tied it to a european solution. And i would have thought that was the last thing that labour would have wanted to talk about. So have wanted to talk about. So that was a mistake. I yeah, the brussels are going to help us fix this. Yeah. And well agree to a quota. Yeah, absolutely. Why . He tied himself with tied himself up with that is beyond a big mistake on his beyond me. A big mistake on his part. They keep making mistakes like that. Wont winning like that. They wont be winning the general election. I the general election. Well, i got from sammy earlier got an email from sammy earlier who says , i like your ex labour who says, i like your ex labour mp guest. He actually talks sense unlike most of the labour woke front bench. Youre a special breed , arent you . I mean you breed, arent you . I mean you are an old school lefty, i suppose. Well, traditional, traditional , yeah. And thats traditional, yeah. And thats tough on illegal immigration, tough on illegal immigration, tough on illegal immigration, tough on benefit cheats. Tough on benefit cheats. Celebrate the royal family. Thats the labour partys moved away from me and its now all this sort of north london labour which is north london. Yeah well yeah but youre not labour. Yeah. And it sounds like youre going to, youre not, youre going to, youre not, youre not, youre not wokeist youll be chucked out eventually. Yeah. There will be, there will be a cull. God. Oh god. Oh god. Be rid of, yeah. Youll be rid of, youll be banned from gales patisserie. But, but this is patisserie. But but, but this is the dilemma for , for keir the dilemma for, for keir starmer and i dont understand if win the if the strategy is to win the next election why not next election, why hes not more robust on on migration, why hes not more robust on some of those cultural issues as well. Patriotism traditional values. Yeah. No, thats where i think hes getting it wrong and thats why i think labour could still lose the general election really incredibly true. Yeah, absolutely. Because those red absolutely. Because those red wall voters think very much like i do. They are up there in the north from where i come from, and theyre tough on immigration and theyre tough on immigration and tough on benefit cheats and starmer is not addressing that. What do you think . I mean, you are an out conservative supporter , arent you, chloe . Supporter, arent you, chloe . Its fair to say if i have to, it doesnt mean im happy with the tory party in its current state, but i probably will vote for them. You make of that what do you make of that headune what do you make of that headline headed for headline tories headed for election wipe out. Would with a pinch i would take it with a pinch of salt. Always say that the polls always say that theyre worse than theyre going to do worse than theyre going to do worse than they at last they will because at the last minute freak out minute people often freak out and go for what they think is the safe option. Even if earlier they would vote they said that they would vote laboun they said that they would vote labour. Think they are labour. But i think they are going to lose for sure. But youre quite right saying that focusing on the economy is what this person has got right. Its what actually affects peoples everyday lives. Most people are not that political, but they will vote on things that affect them every day when they go to them every day when they go to the supermarket and they cant afford buy what they need to afford to buy what they need to buy to feed their families. Thats what people care about. Buy to feed their families. Thaspeakingyeople care about. Buy to feed their families. Thaspeakingyeo which,e about. Buy to feed their families. Thaspeakingyeo which, ashlene speaking of which, ashlene cracking the sunday cracking headline in the sunday express. The prime express. I think the
Prime Minister<\/a> making all the right noises. \u00a31 billion lifeline for derelict high streets. Its not derelict high streets. Its not in the general scheme of things, a huge amount of money. I think their targeting 55 rundown town towns. But that will make towns. But that will make a world of a difference to those communities. Oh i love it because every local high street near me is just its just derelict. Its just its just like a ghost town. Its just everything shut down. Apart from food shops, chemists and second hand shops, chemists and second hand shops, thats all charities anymore. Yeah, charities and betting shops. Right. Thats about it. Shops. Right. Thats about it. Exactly thats about it. Exactly that. And its. Its heartbreaking. So many friends have lost their businesses. Its just really sad. Well, im just going to say. Well, im just going to say. But this is pork barrel politics. I suspect the 55 rundown towns are all concerned lviv constituencies or the vast majority of them are. And the real solution to this is not just giving some money away. Its sorting out
Business Rates<\/a>. You mentioned charity shops. They dont pay any
Business Rates<\/a> and thats an unfair competition compared to conventional retail. As small conventional retail. As small independent retailers,
Business Rates<\/a> is the big issue thats not being tackled well, definitely because you get these empty high streets and then you also have just these big brands, dont you . So its good news for the corporates, but not the smaller retailers such colour retailers who offer such colour to every community. Yeah, you dont want to go to another town andits dont want to go to another town and its just costa and not that theres anything wrong with those, but you know costa boots and i know you want to mix dont you an independent out a real flavour and diverse city two high streets yeah yeah so look theres another story about about the tories. A third of tory voters will switch poll exclusive. But what about this one . To really boil your blood ashlene nhs bands a useful anaesthetic to hit net zero target. So not only is net zero going to cost us a fortune, it might cost our life, but what is useful . What do they do . What do they do . Well, i think i think the idea is the nhs is banning an anaesthetic gas to meet net zero targets in a move that leading climate expert warned, experts warn lacks any scientific basis , the
Health Service<\/a> has said its decommissioned being a certain kind of gas which is produces an anaesthetic effect because of climate change. So i think basically i think its a simple way of knocking people out. But because of net zero, theyre going it anymore. Well, surely there must be an alternative somebody well, surely there must be an alhaving e somebody well, surely there must be an al having e operation, omebody well, surely there must be an alhaving e operation, theyrer is having an operation, theyre going get knocked out going to have to get knocked out. Getting knocked out. I love getting knocked out. I get having surgery get im always having surgery for something cosmetic. And for something cosmetic. And yeah, you have to get knocked out. So how are they to going which just tells me that this is the religion that is net zero. Now that know, surely you now that you know, surely you would prioritise what appears to be the reason why they obviously have this useful simple anaesthetic is its probably quick its cheap and its quick and its cheap and its uncomplicated and lets be honest, theyve been using gas in nhs for what, over 100 in the nhs for what, over 100 years . Probably so. So therefore. But it gets gets sacrificed at the altar of net zero. So it does seem a bit crazy, doesnt it . And the sort of rash decisions being made like this when more realistic view needs to be taken, you could imagine that that decision being revised and changed actually , chloe, and changed actually, chloe, this is one for you. Its a little bit intellectual, so strap yourself intellectual, so strap yourself in england, star gets his tackle out for romp but refuses to take off his not very romantic ankle warmers. So this this young man, this thriving youngster, probably in the premier league, has had a little sojourn with a young woman there, obviously clearly in love and will marry shortly. But he kept he kept his shortly. But he kept he kept his socks on throughout as the only person the pundits is probably there is actually in there is actually
Scientific Evidence<\/a> behind this. I cant remember the exact percentage, but theres actually a significantly higher chance of if you have your socks on because of how it cuts the blood flow. So this is actually a thing. So this is actually a thing. So this is actually a thing. This is a thing , i think both. Yeah, this is good to know. Simon you are freshly married. Spare the gory details because its a family show. But absolutely. Or socks absolutely. Socks on or socks off. Socks off. Off. Come on, socks off. Got. Every time. Yeah, ive got. Every time.

Youve lived a life. I have. I have. Would you would you chuck out a that his socks on . A man that kept his socks on . Not all. No, not at all. No, not at all. A deal breaker you . A deal breaker for you . A deal breaker for you . Dont mind. I dont no, i dont mind. I dont really like feet. Well, like really like feet. Well, i like mine, so they can mine, but not men. So they can keep socks on. Fine. Keep their socks on. Fine. Im going on. Now, i going to keep mine on. Now, i know chloe really awful know that chloe really awful socks on. Thats interesting. Thats interesting. Im my socks god, im laughing my socks off this. My off listening to this.

Todays labour party are a bunch of charlatans. Its a shame theyre not all like

What a brilliant legend she is. I love this story, by the way, because we were just talking about how the nhs is going this special going to get rid of this special gas that puts you out because its bad for environment. Its bad for the environment. This from richard says, this from richard who says, mark, anaesthetic, mark, to save on anaesthetic, just every patient a copy just give every patient a copy of by prince harry and of spare by prince harry and they can read that before every operation.

Ajrally anyway. You dont need a knighthood should knighthood to do it. It should just natural thing that you just be a natural thing that you want not do it and want to do, not not do it and then a knighthood. Then get a knighthood. I think was but but i think he was captain of england. I mean, hes a ambassador, isnt he . A global ambassador, isnt he . Not fan. Yes. Im not a fan. Yes. Im not a fan. Ashlyns not having it. Ashlyns not having it. Why . Out interest , why are why . Out of interest, why are you a fan of him . You not a fan of him . See why he i just dont see why he should. Think theres other should.

Yeah, you go. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Briefly. David well, chloe, briefly. David beckham, sir david. I will admit do not okay, i will admit i do not care football at all. But, care about football at all. But, i mean, we have to ask, what is the purpose of a knighthood . Is it has, for it for someone who has, for example, of example, done loads of charitable work, or should you be knighthoods to
People Charitable<\/a> work, or should you be have knighthoods to
People Charitable<\/a> work, or should you be have , nighthoods to
People Charitable<\/a> work, or should you be have , say, thoods to

Im not completely sure what but maybe we what the answer is, but maybe we need to be clearer what need to be clearer on what knighthoods are for. Knighthoods really are for. Might be right. Im you might be right. Im surprised gunning surprised that im gunning for becks just becks in this way, but i just feel simon. Hes one the best known hes one of the best known brits in the world. I mean, hes one of the most famous men on the planet. Yeah, but thats not enough. I think it should be based around public service.
