Weve got tomorrows front pages at 1030 with three top pundits who havent been told what to say and who dont follow the script tonight, Paul Richards, David Oldroyd bolt and Jasmine Birtles. Plus, the most important part of the show, your emails, they come straight to my laptop. Gbnews. Com. This show has a strict golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. My reaction to boris at ten. But first my big opinion. A Labour Government is coming. Be Labour Government is coming. Be careful what you wish for. The cervix free leader of the opposition keir starmer, isnt even in number 10 yet, but his party are in the throes of an all out civil war. There are rumours of possible resignations from the shadow cabinet and over 250 Labour Council chairs have signed a letter challenging starmers position on israel, which he says has a right to defend itself. Although there seems to be a difference between what he told Lbcs Nick Ferrari and what he told itv news hours later here. Im very clear israel must have that does have that right to defend herself and hamas bears responsibility. Bears responsibility. A siege is appropriate. Cutting off power, cutting off water, secure. I think that israel does have that right. That right. Okay. Right so israel has a right to defend itself. Or does right to defend itself. Or does it . Heres what starmer told itv news shortly after i was saying israel had the right to self defence. Self defence. And when i said that right, it was that right to self defence. I was not saying that israel had the right to cut off water, food , food, fuel or off water, food, food, fuel or medicines. Medicines. So according to starmer , so according to starmer, viewers and listeners misheard what he meant. Did we or maybe were just stupid. Lets play it again. Siege is appropriate. It siege is appropriate. It cutting off power, cutting off water secure. I think that israel does have that right. That right. Hm. Ill let you decide. Hm. Ill let you decide. Guardian columnist owen jones, furiously labelled starmer a liar. I shouldnt seek to use such unparliamentary language myself, but it tells you that far from being strong and stable , steady and sir keir starmer is a political accident, waiting to happen. Dont take my word for it. Labour backbenchers berated our would be Prime Ministers position for what they called israeli war crimes. And to make matters worse , the labour mayor matters worse, the labour mayor for london, who seems unbothered by spiralling levels of crime in the capital, choosing to focus his attention on the middle east. Take a listen. I joined the International Community in calling for a ceasefire it would stop the killing and would allow vital aid supplies to reach those those who need it. In gaza , those who need it. In gaza, were calling for an end to violence is a bit rich from mayor khan. I suspect many londoners would like a ceasefire from the relentless knife crime in his city. And this talk of ceasefire is effectively asking israel to be a sitting duck to terror. A ceasefire is snake oil language. Its double speak for israel. Suckit its double speak for israel. Suck it up. If you thought october the seventh was bad, you dont think hamas a planning worse. They have only one objective genocide. And in the objective genocide. And in the face of this rebadged ism, youll continue to see starmer and his party tie themselves in knots over this important issue. This is off the back of the labour supporting unions , labour supporting unions, furious with starmers push for net zero, which they believe will harm industry. See labour will harm industry. See labour is split on woke issues too, having seen what happened to Nicola Sturgeon in scotland , Nicola Sturgeon in scotland, starmer wants to limit peoples ability to self id their agenda. That means deciding from one day to the next that youre now a woman rather a bloke. A woman rather than a bloke. A sensitive and sensible move from starmer, but causing unrest among progressive backbenchers who think there are 100 genders. And then theres trouble brewing over labours spending pledges. The left of the party want him to splash the cash, but he says theres no money promising to use the office for budget responsibility as a fig leaf for his prudent investment plans. Starmers strategy is to say as little as possible and to be more silent than charlie chaplin. But starmers leadership is starting to look like a silent comedy itself , like a silent comedy itself, with more pratfalls than the famous film tramp could ever dream of. Whenever he does open dream of. Whenever he does open his mouth and makes a plan, such as calling for closer alignment with europe, scrapping oil and gas licences, or cancelling the rwanda plan. Even if it works , rwanda plan. Even if it works, starmer gets himself into immediate hot water and now, after having more positions on israel than the kama sutra , israel than the kama sutra, starmer once again gets found out. When tested, theres a war in the middle east, but an existential conflict is playing out on those opposition benches too. Its my fear that with a slim majority labour as the governing party will frankly b ungovernable reesey bickering among tories will look like the Queens Garden party by comparison , an starmers not comparison, an starmers not even in yet, but he already looks like a cucumber sandwich. This guy always gets himself in a pickle. A pickle. And your reaction, mark at gbnews. Com let me know your thoughts. Ill get to your emails very, very presently. But tonights top pundits, former labour special adviser Paul Richards, broadcaster and historian David Oldroyd bolt, and journalist, author and presenter Jasmine Birtles, jasmine , i think that the split jasmine, i think that the split over israel is the tip of the iceberg for labour. Whats your view . Well, it could be, but if youre honest, we could say the same. Frankly, for the tory party , weve got factions party, weve got factions everywhere , but certainly i everywhere, but certainly i think it is particularly obvious with labour because theyre trying to pull back from the what seemed to be overt anti semitism of the corbyn era. And semitism of the corbyn era. And i know from jewish friends of mine that they they absolutely would not vote labour. So would not vote labour. So i think this is what starmer is trying to do. Hes trying to be as, as conciliator as possible to the labour voters, the Jewish Voters , while at the same time voters, while at the same time keeping the muslim followers happy as well, which is frankly almost impossible , i would say. Almost impossible, i would say. Yeah. Paul labour are split on net zero, split on woke trans issues, split on the economy and split on israel. Split on israel. Well, i think your reporting that a Major Political party has got different views within it, but is that news really . I think it is because this party wants to be in power. If you look the conference that you look at the conference that labour liverpool , it was united. There was silence for the there was the silence for the dead of the massacre , the hamas dead of the massacre, the hamas massacre, starmer won all of the votes on the conference floor. Despite the unions that youve mentioned and all the others, he is of labour party is in charge of the labour party and course there are going and of course there are going to be noises off and people are unhappy that. People unhappy about that. And people who corbyn to come who would love corbyn to come back, happening. So back, but it aint happening. So hes charge. Hes in charge. Confidently yeah, well, you confidently say but the bottom line is say that, but the bottom line is youve backbenchers already youve got backbenchers already diluting israel, diluting his position on israel, talking about war crimes. That is a direct contradiction of the policy that hes on the issue. Contradiction of the policy that he well,on the issue. Contradiction of the policy that he well, every� issue. Contradiction of the policy that he well, every party�. Contradiction of the policy that he well, every party has those well, every party has those kinds of splits roots, kinds of splits and roots, doesnt mean, doesnt it . But i mean, the point they are off. Point is they are noises off. They are a minority. They are seeking to make mischief. Lets be. These are people be honest. These are people unreconciled to leadership unreconciled to his leadership in first place. They would in the first place. They would love back, it love to have corbyn back, but it aint happening them. And love to have corbyn back, but it ainiis appening them. And love to have corbyn back, but it ainiis app context them. And love to have corbyn back, but it ainiis app context forem. And love to have corbyn back, but it ainiis app context for this. \nd this is the context for this. Theyre making trouble. Theyre just making trouble. Okay. What do think about okay. What do you think about this, david . Okay. What do you think about thisdo avid . Okay. What do you think about thisdo you . Okay. What do you think about thisdo you think this do you think this demonstrates are in demonstrates that labour are in trouble before theyve even gone into it into power . I think it demonstrates that there is a significant problem within the labour you labour party of as you said, people to the people unreconciled to the change of leadership from mr corbyn to sir keir and the question i have is what about the Party Activists . What about the people seeking to labour mps at the to become labour mps at the next election . Do they represent election . Do they represent sir keir his to me more keir and his to me more reasonable well, do reasonable views . Well, how do we there is no test we know this . There is no test of other than there being of this other than there being in parliament and putting their views and views before the public. And i worry actually worry that actually the parliamentary its Parliamentary Party and its splits will be mirrored or in fact amplified in the labour party constituencies around the country and that labour mps to come at the next election will be of the more corbynite rather than right stance when than starmer right stance when it comes to this issue particularly, i tell you particularly, i can tell you weve of efforts to weve made a lot of efforts to make that isnt going to make sure that isnt going to happen. Have, but make sure that isnt going to hapselections have, but make sure that isnt going to hapselections beene, but make sure that isnt going to hap selections been decent our selections have been decent people selected for those margins. Dont think , for and you dont think, for example, net zero is going example, that net zero is going to be a sort of point of conflict when starmer gets into number 10 . After all the unions have number 10 . fithatall the unions have number 10 . fithatall � rush nions have number 10 . fithatall � rush nions tzero said that his rush to net zero will and hurt will destroy jobs and hurt industry. Industry. Well, you know how politics works. Is always works. You know, there is always going debate, going to be this ongoing debate, especially issues especially around huge issues like climate change, geopolitics and on, gender and all the and so on, gender and all the things mentioned. Things youve mentioned. Its just dominant just about whos the dominant voice, charge , who gets voice, whos in charge, who gets their their view through. And at their their view through. And at their their view through. And at the moment that is starmer. He has incredible leadership has shown incredible leadership for hes turned for two years now. Hes turned around worst ever around a position of worst ever defeat to brink of defeat to the brink of government. And hes a strong g
