We need to face facts. There is no problem with some of the rhetoric being pumped out in mosques in great britain. A new generation of hardline islamist extremists are ready to take violent action. If you insult their religion. Remarkably, the their religion. Remarkably, the taxpayer is paying arguably for the radicalised action of some people. Lewisham Islamic Centre in south london, for example, is chief imam. Reportedly shakeel begg once called on young muslims to go to palestine and fight the zionists, was given 540 grand by the taxpayer between 2015 and 2020.

Activists are anti blasphemy. Activists are aspiring anti blasphemy. Activists are aspiring to make blasphemy a central concern for british muslims. Tehreek e labbaik , an muslims. Tehreek e labbaik, an anti blasphemy Political Party in pakistan , appears to be in pakistan, appears to be developing a uk presence. Islamist terrorist groups continue to call for violent reprisals for instances of blasphemy. Now we have had a flashpoint and the report suggests that tehreek e labbaik, that group, has been at the centre of most of them. Batley Grammar School a teacher shows a picture to the Prophet Muhammad of the Prophet Muhammad. To some kids, massive protest. Here is one man outside the school gates clearly calling for blasphemy laws. The incident from monday 22nd of march must also be investigated from a criminal perspective. Yes, given that it was a clear attempt to stir up religious hatred, we also use this opportunity to call upon the entire British Muslim Community to review the materials being taught in their childrens schools. There were protests in birmingham and many other places over the screening of that film. The lady in heaven was depicted muhammads daughter. People mobbed up and cinemas caved in. Cineworld sent an employee out with a microphone to apologise , with a microphone to apologise, confirming that we have cancelled this film and will not be showing it again. Be showing it again. We value you as customers. We we value you as customers. We value you all as our customers within the heart of this community at a local level. It wasnt our decision to show this film, it came from above. We totally agree with what youre saying and we are not prepared at this cinema to show this film i roshan saleh, the editor for the News Platform five pillars, wrote a review for the site describing the film as pure, unadulterated, sectarian filth. They wanted it banned because it offended muslims. It was blasphemous. In wakefield , an blasphemous. In wakefield, an autistic boy scuffed a copy of the quran. The local mosque demanded his mother and the police turned up to apologise. They put this on social they even put this on social media. Theyre saying, oh, the matters finished. But matters not quite finished. But then today it emerged the man in then today it emerged the man in the running to be the governments anti hate tsar, governments anti hate tsar, fiyaz quit governments anti hate tsar, fiyaz quit before fiyaz mughal, has quit before hes even started. Why . Well, he does blame pushback from some far right extremists, but he also makes this very revealing comment. He says, i am angry because the government has been saying for decades, where are the british muslims speaking out . When we speak out, we are left our own the left to our own devices. The impact on our personal and professional enormous. Professional lives is enormous. Well, why is that . Could it be that there is a problem within aspects of the Muslim Community that deems any pushback on islamist extremism to be blasphemous and punishable with extreme violence . He goes on to say, its infiltrated our Civil Service as well. He says they have Civil Servants who have sympathies groups. Sympathies with these groups. Look, are these some look, the facts are these some mosques are platforming and spreading radical material. Mosques are platforming and spreading radical material. An spreading radical material. An extreme anti blasphemy group is operating in the uk, and we have seen anti blasphemy movements with our own eyes, and extremists are threatening people who try to call this out and stop it. There people who try to call this out and stop it. There is people who try to call this out and stop it. There is another, and stop it. There is another, more damning fact though, isnt there . Our politicians and our police are far too weak to do anything about it. Theyre too scared. Lets get the thoughts scared. Lets get the thoughts now of my panel. I have the wonderful columnist Carole Malone. Ive got trade unionist Andy Mcdonald and the Political Editor at the daily express. Editor at the daily express. Its sam lister. Carole, ill start with you. Blasphemy laws start with you. Blasphemy laws in the uk. I mean, how long is it seriously, before these are genuinely written into law . We need to root this out, dont we . Yeah we do. I mean, we have blasphemy laws here until 2008 and thank god they were abolished god that they were abolished then. That was a victory for then. And that was a victory for thought. Freedom and speech freedom. And it was good that it happened. But whats happening now, that group that you mentioned that in pakistan , that mentioned that in pakistan, that Group Advocates mob beheadings of and those people of blasphemous and those people are being given members of that party in the uk group are being given a platform in mosques in this country. Thats that radicalises people that in turn causes terrible terrorism. We cannot have one religion in this country. Britain is a secular country. Britain is a secular country. We cannot have one religion that escapes criticism or censure. And thats what i think a lot of these extremist muslims are asking for. And you alluded to it in your in your monologue there where you said that we have cops who are scared to do anything about it. You mentioned kids. There were mentioned some kids. There were four i think, were four kids, i think, who were suspended in suspended from a school in kettlethorpe, had just kettlethorpe, and they had just scuffed the pages of a quran. My god, the fuss that was made over that. The local muslim a that. The local muslim mp, a labour mp , called it the labour mp, called it the desecration of the quran. It was not the desecration and the mosques had had to be explained to the local mosques that the quran hadnt been destroyed, that it was okay. Then the cops got involved, then the four kids were suspended. Have you ever seen that kind of reaction over a being damaged or the a bible being damaged or the torah being damaged . No you havent. So one religion is already being its been its been allowed to do and say what it wants without censure. And to threaten our own mps. Do you think that we need to have a bit of an investigation into whats going on in some mosques . Mosques . Well, id say, yeah, particularly if its taxpayers money to fund money thats being used to fund these, know, thats directly these, you know, thats directly unked these, you know, thats directly linked us directly our linked to us and directly in our interest. But know, interest. But you know, weve had secretaries the had five home secretaries in the last clearly, this last five years. Clearly, this government taking any government is not taking any domestic seriously domestic issue seriously because, the because, you know, the government have been on government should have been on top if deemed top of this if its deemed extreme pakistan, is extreme in pakistan, which is a muslim country. You know, muslim country. Yes. You know, imagine how extreme well find it as non muslim country. Its it as a non muslim country. Its absolutely there. Yeah, exactly. Its that its ridiculous that the government have allowed this to happen and its gone under the radar. You think the Security Services you services or someone in, you know, large whitehall know, the large whitehall security machine would have seen this coming . Security machine would have seen this corridiculous. I think its its ridiculous. I think its fair. Do think its fair. Sam, do you think its that fear of being called islamophobic . Maybe. Islamophobic . Maybe. I think this is a big problem. And actually, was problem. And actually, i was thinking back, blasphemy has been an been thrown around as an accusation by all types of faith for many, many years. You only to go back to you only have to go back to the life of brian, example. The life of brian, for example. And a huge uproar then and there was a huge uproar then i going see jerry i remember going to see jerry spnnger i remember going to see Jerry Springer about springer the opera about 20 years was a protest years ago. There was a protest outside that theatre, but the difference was the protest was then. Nobody who went to that theatre felt under threat. Nobody had to go into hiding as a result of any of these actions. Its a very actions. And so its a very different climate now. And i think actually all its understandable that nobody , understandable that nobody, anybody of faith, they dont want their religion mocked or insulted. But actually the great insulted. But actually the great thing about britain is that everybody is open to mockery, everybody is open to mockery, everybody is open to mockery, everybody is open to being offended. That is the point of britain. Its the point of a free speech nation that nobody should be protected from being mocked or from being offended. And i think this is the big problem weve got now. And its the rush to violence as well, is the thing. There is a rush of violence and weve seen it, you know, with of these protests, with some of these protests, weve our weve seen that obviously our own threatened. Own mps have been threatened. You has now you know, the government has now had multi millions to had to give multi millions to have threatened. And have our mps threatened. And they scared tell us they even too scared to tell us what the are in case what the threats are in case they so we cant have they realise. So we cant have this, this kind climate where this, this kind of climate where this, this kind of climate where this and sam is right. This happens. And sam is right. No i no religion should be mocked. I mean, was also thinking, i mean, but i was also thinking, i was thinking, know, was thinking, you know, weve all once workplace have all seen once a workplace have been to remove a crucifix. Been asked to remove a crucifix. Can you imagine would can you imagine what would happen asked a woman to happen if you asked a woman to remove a hijab . I mean, that would be regarded as a gross insult. Well, why is more insult. Well, why is it more insulting than than asking insulting than other than asking a take off his or a catholic to take off his or her crucifix . Think and her crucifix . So i think and i think a lot of people are angry now because think now because they think exceptions being and exceptions are being made, and that be the case. That cant be the case. Know this individual who i know this individual who was supposedly going to be the governments tsar has quit governments hate tsar has quit before even begun. Before hes even begun. He did mention threats hed received from far right extremists , as from far right extremists, as well as, islamist extremists. I mean , he did devote i think its mean, he did devote i think its important to say a lot more time to the threats from islamist extremists, which i think does imply vast majority of imply why the vast majority of the coming from the threats are coming from them. You know, there is them. But, you know, there is a concern there, isnt there, that we just as a country now we are just as a country now getting extreme. Whilst getting more extreme. And whilst im absolutely not, im definitely to excuse im absolutely not, im defi kind to excuse im absolutely not, im defi kind of to excuse im absolutely not, im defi kind of behaviour excuse im absolutely not, im defi kind of behaviour whatsoever any kind of behaviour whatsoever. When people do see things like batley what batley grammar, like what happenedin batley grammar, like what happened in wakefield, like whats the whats maybe going out on the streets every single saturday, etc. I worry that that is fuelling the far right. Yeah, i mean yeah, it gives them kind of a thing to brandish and go, oh look, you know, even when probably 99 of british muslims are good, honest , hard muslims are good, honest, hard working people, theyll cling on to this 1. Theyll go, oh, well, theyre like that. And its theyre all like that. And its absolutely, its absolutely, you know, its terrible. But, you know, on the terrible. But, you know, on the advisor, should have an advisor, we should have an islamophobic national islamophobia adviser. Weve got a anti semitism advisor a National Anti semitism advisor , lord john mann. Dont see , lord john mann. I dont see a reason we shouldnt have reason why we shouldnt have a other one for islam. That guy had a point there when he said that hes not looked after. You know that a lot muslims speak out lot of muslims who speak out arent taken of. And arent taken care of. And i think is true. You know, if think that is true. You know, if a muslim condemns it, a terrorist attack by by islamists, they are in trouble in their community. Do you think that theres a chance that this country is currently bullied by currently being bullied by islamists . You cant islamists . You know, you cant speak particularly speak out about it, particularly because never your because its never worth your while. Politicians while. Weve had politicians try and it, and they always end and do it, and they always end up then quitting up apologising and then quitting at some point. I think thats the i mean, i think thats the problem, isnt it . Actually, problem, isnt it . And actually, this phrase, islamophobia is a phrase governments phrase that the governments reluctant engage reluctant to kind of engage with. To it with. They want to call it anti muslim i think anti muslim hate. And i think thats it to thats because they want it to be racism, rather than be about racism, rather than about the faith itself. And about the faith itself. And actually, you should be free to criticise a faith. There are aspects of islam that it is perfectly legitimate to criticise and it should not be given a special status in this country. That that in a way implies that there are 2a2 tier system for citizenship. And system for citizenship. And actually were all equal before the law. So it shouldnt be this special status for just the law. So it shouldnt be this special status forjust People Special status for just people of islam. People just going to say the french have actually banned the word islamophobia because they say means cant say that means you cant criticise them , which criticise them, which makes total sense. Absolutely. Watch yeah, absolutely. Well, watch this course, there this space. Of course, there was a reports out a series of reports out recently, latest which recently, the latest of which was which that was today, which was that hardline basically hardline islamists are basically trying to impose blasphemy laws on us here in britain , look, on us here in britain, look, were just going to whiz you through now to something completely different because spnng completely different because spring is in the air so is spring is in the air and so is your chance to win a garden gadget package.

Still to come, Lee Andersons bombshell switch from the tories to reform uk has sent shockwaves through westminster. So is this a new dawn in british politics that finally blows apart the conservative labour rule . Well, the man himself joins me live in this very studio at 10 pm. But before that , tory mp daniel before that, tory mp Daniel Kawczynski gives his reaction. Kawczynski gives his reaction. What are the tories doing about this . But up next, in the head to head, as five of the worlds biggest picture agencies recall, the princess of wales, now Infamous Mothers day infamous and edited mothers day photograph more photograph and even more conspiracy theories are swirling over is it time for over her health, is it time for Kensington Palace to just come clean and tell us all about kate King Charless former butler, Grant Harrold and journalist Sarah Robertson do battle in that in just a tick. Its Patrick Christys tonight. Were only on gb news. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight on gb news. Now coming up, tory mp Daniel Kawczynski gives me his verdict on Lee Andersons shock defection to reform fm. How worried are the tories . But first, its time for our head to head. So the our head to head. So the princess of wales was last seen in public at sandringham on Christmas Day before Kensington Palace made the shock announcement on the 17th of january that shed undergone planned Abdominal Surgery and wouldnt be back on public duty until after easter. But in response to rampant internet speculation , Kensington Palace speculation, Kensington Palace reiterated on the 29th of february that the princess was, quote, doing well and that there would no longer be regular updates on her recovery. Now fast forward to yesterday and a beaming Family Picture of the princess of wales and her children released to mark mothers day. It was supposed to put an end to all this speculation, but instead the picture has plunged the royal family into crisis. After multiple News Agencies killed the image over claims had the image over claims it had been digitally manipulated. Indeed, its been pointed out that of princess that part of princess charlottes wrist is missing. Theres an inconsistency with the zip on kates jacket and there it is. And the patterns on prince louis jumper dont seem to line up. Oh, gosh. Scandal scandal. And in a tweet earlier today, the princess of wales came clean. She said like many amateur photographers , i do amateur photographers, i do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion. The family photograph we shared yesterday has caused. But after fuelling more wild fuelling yet more wild conspiracy theories tonight im asking is it time for the palace to tell all about kate . Let me to tell all about kate . Let me know your thoughts. Email me gb views or gb news. Com tweet me out gb news. While youre there, go vote in our poll. Ill go and vote in our poll. Ill bnng go and vote in our poll. Ill bring the results shortly. Bring you the results shortly. But going head to head on this, i joined by the former i am joined now by the former royal butler, grand herald and royal commentator royal journalist and commentator sarah both of sarah roberts. And both of you. Thank very much, thank you very, very much, sarah. You. Sarah. Ill start with you. Should the palace come clean about kate . Long overdue, about kate . Coming long overdue, about kate . Coming clean,ng overdue, about kate . Coming clean, patrick, ue, about coming clean, patrick, about coming clean, patrick, about going on with about whats going on with princess catherine. This has been short of a pr been nothing short of a pr disaster, which has actually turned into something rather sinister. Turned into something rather sinister. The conspiracy theories that have been rolling now on the internet ever since the palace released that first statement to say that princess catherine was having Abdominal Surgery have just blown out of all proportion. And then yesterday we saw the palace. Well, kate herself released this image of herself. It was a Beautiful Image of her smiling with the children. It was very happy. With the children. It was very happy i with the children. It was very happy. I looked at it, glimpsed at it very quickly, thought it was lovely. And, you know, she did that thinking it was going to sort of do enough to deter the naysayers. But however, you cant professional photo cant fool professional photo agencies and people who are working in that governing body because all these mistakes on further scrutiny were shown up. I think there was nearly 17 mistakes that were shown, which looked to be the case of photoshop, but very, very heavily doctored photoshop. And what i would say is, do we really remote believe that princess catherine did this herself and released it in all innocence without Kensington Palace ever having seen it . No, i dont theres a lot more to this than what were being told. And this is why they need to come and say what is going on, because yet again, as a result of this, it absolutely smacks of a cover up, as youve said. And as a result of this, the conspiracy theories are even worse. Im not going to repeat them, but theres some really, really vindictive, vicious and perfidious things that are going around on the internet right now , not by the press, but by social media. And the palace could not have done a worse pr job they tried than this , if job if they tried than this, if theyve just fed these trolls completely. Thats why they completely. And thats why they need to do something now to put a it. A stop to it. Ill come back to you. Look, grant, theres Something Weird going there . Going on, isnt there . Sarah is right. It is i mean, sarah is right. It is going to cause more questions than answers. I think whats than the answers. I think whats difficult , as ive said the way difficult, as ive said the way along the way, the palace work is obviously they do like to keep things secretive, but weve seen recently with the king actually admitting and talking about his health issues. Obviously with cancer, i thought, is a great turning thought, this is a great turning point and obviously weve point. And then obviously weve now situation where it now got this situation where it appears that catherine obviously has had surgery, which we know about, but theres obviously Something Else going on that were not being told about. And i think whats difficult is blaming catherine. I remember they private. They they they are very private. They they take their privacy seriously and they do not like sharing things. They do not like sharing things. But i think the difficult thing is youre the i know, is when youre the i know, senior , very senior members of senior, very senior members of the family, mean, the royal family, i mean, theyre hes the next theyre the next, hes the next king shell be queen one king and shell be queen one day. The are worried. Day. And the public are worried. I i think the problem with i think i think the problem with this situation people this whole situation is people are getting are actually genuinely getting worried. Phone worried. Im getting phone calls, from friends, calls, messages from friends, family , journalists. Can say family, journalists. Can i say what happening . What is whats happening . Because lot of because its caused a lot of concern. And if only there was something do. Again, something they could do. Again, as sarah that picture, i as sarah said, that picture, i thought same. I thought, thought the same. I thought, this is great. This is actually showing that shes, showing that shes shes, you know, great. With know, looking great. Shes with her but now this has her family. But now this has turned complete disaster turned into a complete disaster for think theyve for them. And i think theyve got be really careful with got to be really careful with this they want it this because they dont want it spiralling control more spiralling out of control more than has, because it than it already has, because it will. Will cause more will. It will cause more problems them. Will. It will cause more pro sarah, them. Will. It will cause more pro sarah, whatam. Will. It will cause more pro sarah, what would you to sarah, what would you say to people who go, just back people who go, look, just back off, this morbid off, stop this morbid fascination kate. Shes fascination with kate. Shes obviously leave her be. Its not the press thats doing this. The press always gets unfairly blamed. This is people on social media themselves. This people on social media themselves. This is this could be one of your colleagues. This is what people are talking about is what people are talking about is those water cooler moments. Theyre all the theyre talking about it all the time. I was in the news time. When i was in the news agency this morning, some chinese came in and agency this morning, some chin why the agencies, the photo agencies pulled the picture last night because they werent getting a response from the palace. Patrick. They were getting no information. There was communication. They were was no communication. They were left floundering all night. So they know if this photo they didnt know if this photo was a deep fake photo. Because of the number of the amount of photoshopping and editing that had been done to it, theyd never seen Something Like that before. So because of that, they had to pull the picture because they picture they thought, this picture is fake. Has actually put fake. It has actually been put out the palace, but its out not by the palace, but its been altered with and we cant put out. Reputations put that out. Our reputations are at stake. They have to be seen be professional and seen to be professional and honest and trustworthy and have integrity. Are integrity. But those are the very things that the palace is meant doing, is to be seen meant to be doing, is to be seen as trustworthy integrity. At the end theyre public end of the day, theyre public servants. Serve us. Im servants. They serve us. Im a huge fan of the royals. Im a massive royalist. This is this is a warning that they need is just a warning that they need to it carefully and more to play it carefully and more safely going forward. In the times that were living in right now, and that means being more accountable and getting the trust back of the public, because the public now arent being fed , believing whats being fed, believing whats being fed, believing whats being fed, believing whats being fed from the palace. Theyre not believing it. They want to see with their own eyes, and thats why they need to release the original photograph and just what was the and show just what was the original photograph. Do you think they should release it . Thats interesting. You think just just just release the i mean, the original . Yes. I mean, i mean, there hide, patrick . W whats there to hide . Whats there to hide . There you go, grant. Well, there you go, grant. Ill throw it your way. Now, on this. I mean, what i cant understand is there would be a massive outpouring of love and support for kate if she did come out and say exactly what was wrong with her. Understand wrong with her. I can understand initially not . But we are initially why not . But we are where are now and this where we are now and this absolute mess happened, absolute mess has happened, hasnt you know, hasnt it . And so, you know, this implies me that theres this implies to me that theres something bit sinister something a little bit sinister going what could going on, you know, what could it that would be it possibly be that would be holding this back . She would get nothing but love if she came out now said what was actually now and said what was actually going on. This is what i dont surely this is what i dont get. And interestingly, i actually what was actually agree with what was just about cant they just said about why cant they release original photograph . Release the original photograph . Because that would rid because that would just get rid of these kind of theories. Of all these kind of theories. You if they gave you know, if they actually gave the is obviously the image, there is obviously something think we something going on. I think we all agree that. But what that all agree on that. But what that is, nobody and id like is, nobody knows. And id like to think that the modern royal family actually want family would actually want everyone to kind of know. I get they obviously want to have privacy. Of course i understand. I we all agree that i think we all agree that everyone entitled that , everyone is entitled to that, but i were all aware that but i think were all aware that something and to something is wrong. And just to give of give us a bit more of information, said, people information, as you said, people would, her. You would, would support her. You know, going know, everyones going to be there support and there wanting to support her and whatever and to help her whatever it is and to help her get through that. I think get through that. And i think this whats difficult is its this is whats difficult is its a that they dont feel a shame that they dont feel they that because they want to do that because she is thanking everyone for their continued shes continued support. Shes shes aware of that. And, you know, the theyll be aware the of course theyll be aware of being said. And its of whats being said. And its also quite hurtful also going to be quite hurtful because will also read the because they will also read the negative as well. And negative comments as well. And so know its them. I so i dont know if its them. I dont know if its the palace because, know, know because, you know, we all know what palace be like. And what the palace can be like. And when shut down, the palace when they shut down, the palace shut could that shut down so it could be that theyve palace theyve been told by the palace not information, not not to give the information, not to anything. This is the to say anything. This is the problem. Dont actually problem. We dont actually know where actually coming where where its actually coming from. The potential so theres the potential there that they are maybe being blocked from higher up. The royal. Absolutely. Royal food chain. Absolutely. Yeah. Mean is the yeah. Yeah. I mean it is the mind boggles both of you. Thank you very, very much. Really informative stuff. So look who do with . Erica. Is do you agree with . Erica. Is it time the to tell all time for the palace to tell all about on x says its about k . Genie on x says its none of our business. It was a photograph she touched up. Its not she shared state not like she shared state secrets says. Say secrets. Khan says. Cant say i really care. But it seems that really care. But it seems that not telling all is doing more damage and fuelling more speculation than simply coming clean. So probably. Yeah, sean says its time for kate to tell us about kate, not the palace. Us about kate, not the palace. Well, your verdict is in all, 33 of you think its time for the palace to tell all about kate, 67 of you say its not really fascinating results. That, isnt it . You know, it is one of those things. When these things come out, though, you know, and you look at the mistakes are happening mistakes that are happening and very situation, very very unfortunate situation, very unfortunate situation, we have to with the to contrast it with the debateable oversharing with our king compared to the under sharing of kate. But look, coming up as labour hire the former bank of England Governor Mark carney, who joins their ranks alongside former Civil Service chief sue gray is this proof that the deep state is alive and kicking in britain . Fleet street legend Kelvin Mackenzie gives his assessment on that and asks why the media shy Angela Rayner has been hiding amid her Council House scandal. Shes been branded all scandal. Shes been branded all sorts by her former neighbour, but first, its the biggest transfer since becks left united for madrid. In a way. New reform uk mp lee anderson is live in the studio at 10 pm. For an exclusive interview that you wont want to miss, but his old colleague, conservative mp Daniel Kawczynski, gives his take on a tough okay. Welcome back to Patrick Christys. Tonight. Were only on gb news. Fleet street legend Kelvin Mackenzie is waiting in the wings to, well, pick apart numerous different labour scandals. Numerous different labour scandals. But numerous different labour scandals. But first, former scandals. But first, former deputy chair of the conservatives lee anderson, has sensationally defected to the reform party. This confirmed reform party. This confirmed weeks of speculation that he would turn his back on the tories after his controversial suspension, which he branded earlier today as unpalatable and a stifling of free speech. Ive had to do a lot of soul searching about, you know, where i am, what im, what im doing, and when i find myself suspended, having the whip suspended, having the whip suspended for speaking my mind. Suspended for speaking my mind. And by the way, speaking up on behalf of millions of people up and down the country who agree with me that me is with me that for me is unpalatable. Its a shocker if im honest. I cannot be a part of an organisation which stifles free speech. So reform uk is just five points behind the conservatives in the latest polls. Labour mp and shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth said this to gb news what i think this reveals is the sheer chaos in the conservative party, a government divided from top to bottom and rishi sunak too weak to exert any authority and a divided government cannot govern in the interests of the country. I think people have had enough of this, and after 14 years of failure, this proves once again that it is time for change. Well, im delighted to welcome tory mp Daniel Kawczynski so how much damage does Lee Andersons defection cause . Your party then . Well, hes. He was an extremely popular conservative member of parliament. I remember when he came to speak to my members in shrewsbury, it was a sell out. He reached , parts of the, of he reached, parts of the, of the electorate that many conservative mps have struggled to reach out to. So of course, its a tremendous loss for us, for him to leave the party and join reform. Theres no doubt about that. But what i would like to say is mr tice and mr farage, are doing Everything Possible ultimately to allow sir keir to become the next Prime Minister. I mean, they say theres no difference between the tories and labour. Really . So it doesnt matter. Oh, there are huge differences. And one thing that differences. And one thing that i was talking earlier this i was talking about earlier this evening to some of your other guests, we had to borrow 400 billion during pandemic. Billion during the pandemic. People have very short memories. They have already forgotten that to close down the worlds fifth largest economy for a year and a half cost £400 billion. And thats why we now have higher taxation than weve ever had over the last 70 years. So high taxation and socialist high taxation and socialist high taxation has been proved. Weve taxation has been proved. Weve just demonstrated that high taxation is very bad for the economy, very bad for people and their livelihoods. And so but you could have had lee anderson out making this point and now youve lost him. Well, you know, the reform party, take sufficient party, they will take sufficient votes from the conservative votes away from the conservative party to allow sir keir, if that is the case, to become the next Prime Minister. Do you think it is that serious . Do you think it is that serious . Do you think it is that serious that Lee Andersons defection, it casts categorically means the Labour Government . That i think he will i think that i think he will be the conservative mp. Be the only conservative mp. I make this i make this prediction that he will be the only conservative party to move to reform, but it is regrettable , reform, but it is regrettable, but what im trying to say to your viewers , mr tice and mr your viewers, mr tice and mr farage, much as i respect them, both are actually working in a very counterintuitive way because were going to have to face, if they are successful, we will be facing four years of a socialist government with even higher taxes, even higher regulation. Well, the argument against that not just be why didnt you just do the stuff that theyve been crying out for you to do and then we wouldnt have this problem, know, when it comes and then we wouldnt have this pr labour party and the lib dems have fought us all the way. We are making those incremental steps to deal with illegal migration, and the budget has demonstrated that last time, tuppence of national insurance, this time tuppence of national insurance. Jeremy this time tuppence of national insurance. Jeremy hunt is moving insurance. Jeremy hunt is moving in the right direction after a monumental global pandemic, which has resulted in massive tax increases. We are trying to reduce taxation in a sustainable way. Sir keir starmer, who was way. Sir keir starmer, who was part of Jeremy Corbyns shadow cabinet, the most left wing shadow cabinet in history, is determined to increase taxation , determined to increase taxation, spend more and increase regulation and reintroduce us to the european union. So many people in this country who voted conservative or who before and are tempted by reform, my messages were not going to have a reform government. Its either going to be a conservative government or a socialist government. And if you vote reform, going to end up reform, youre going to end up with keir starmer. With sir keir starmer. It a mistake to not only was it a mistake to not only take the whip off lee anderson for comments about sadiq for his comments about sadiq khan and about the general state of the situation there, but then to also follow it up with, you know , things like, you know, know, things like, you know, leading the budget with the statues muslim war veterans, statues of muslim war veterans, etc. Did it look bit like capitulation . Well, i have all sorts of things id like to say about sadiq khan , and nothing would sadiq khan, and nothing would give me more pleasure than sharing with you some of my own views about the mayor of london. But im afraid youve got to be as, as a, as an elected parliamentarian, which is a very privileged position. Youve got to be, im afraid, in the society and culture that we live in very circumspect at what you say to make sure that it cannot be misconstrued. And i very much regret the situation that occurred to lee anderson. I wish the whip had not been. Personally, i will go as far as to say that there are many tory mps who were concerned that the whip was withdrawn from him, so a of conservative mps were a lot of conservative mps were concerned that lee anderson was essentially i was certainly concerned and so were many of my members concerned that the whip was withdrawn. Im not going to contradict the decision of the conservative party. Its happened. I was concerned , and happened. I was concerned, and now lee decided to leave. Now lee has decided to leave. But i think hes made and but but i think hes made and i love him. We hugged as he came into the studio. Were very close friends, but i think hes made a mistake because hes playing into the hands of mr farage in not recognising that any vote away from the conservative party is a sure fire support for. Theres talk of theres talk of Boris Johnson now going out on the stump for the tories in the red wall seats. So youre going to end up with potentially bofis going to end up with potentially Boris Johnson versus lee anderson. Lee anderson, red anderson. Lee anderson, the red wall you wall made flesh. I mean do you think Boris Johnson should be making more of a comeback as well . Well, i think rishi sunak has brought back mr ashoori. I should lord cameron into the should say lord cameron into the cabinet. A former Prime Minister. If i think, i minister. I think if i think, i think this election is going to be so tough, we need all the support that we can and if support that we can get. And if bofisis support that we can get. And if boris is prepared to, to help in the Election Campaign, then great. Daniel, thank you very, very much for your time this evening. Much for your time this evening. That was Daniel Kawczynski mp. Well, look, coming up, the man himself, lee anderson, he joins me live in the studio shortly with a few minutes away with just a few minutes away from stay tuned. But from that. So stay tuned. But next, concept of the deep next, the concept of the deep state laughed by critics. State is laughed off by critics. But hires former bank but as labour hires former bank of chief brexit doomster of england chief brexit doomster mark to join starmer mark carney to join starmer alongside former Civil Service boss is it actually no boss sue gray is it actually no laughing matter . Kelvin mackenzie is live on that. Plus this now infamous picture which plunged the royals into a bizarre scandal that i doubt even former senator Kelvin Mackenzie has seen before. Although know thing or mackenzie has seen before. Althabout know thing or mackenzie has seen before. Alth about scandals now thing or mackenzie has seen before. Althabout scandals hes thing or next. Its Patrick Christys tonight on gb news. Coming up, im joined by the man of the moment, lee anderson. After he spectacularly defected to reform. But first, Keir Starmers chief of staff, sue gray, has been hard at work restructuring labours top team ahead of the next election with plans for a powerful new executive cabinet to make key decisions. So called gang of decisions. The so called gang of four will include shadow chancellor rachel reeves, angela raynen chancellor rachel reeves, Angela Rayner, and pat mcfadden. But at the weekend, reeves spelt out that there would be no quick fix for the uk economy. It is clear that the inheritance that a Labour Government would have if we do win the next election will be the worst since the Second World War i have to be honest that war and i have to be honest that were not going to be able to turn things around straight away. Work on away. But we will get to work on all of that. Hang on a minute. Theyve brought back this guy, mark carney, the anti Brexit Former Bank governor, has bank of england governor, has been by labour to help been hired by labour to help unlock billions pounds in unlock billions of pounds in private investment after the party was forced to abandon its £28 billion green pledge. So sue gray, carney headed two of gray, mark carney headed two of our impartial institutions. Now our impartial institutions. Now they work for keir starmer. As much as we mentioned the words deep state, you labelled a conspiracy theorist, but hang on a minute. Editor at the sun kelvin former i Kelvin Mackenzie, former i should give time, should say, give it time, kelvin. You very much. I kelvin. Thank you very much. I mean, this is pretty bonkers stuff, i mean, who stuff, isnt it . I mean, who else going to go for next . Well, so mark carney was known never wrong for long known as never wrong for long when bank of england when he was bank of england governor hopeless governor absolutely hopeless constantly. To constantly. He was trying to forecast what the markets were like. Markets arent there to be forecast by by people like the bank of england governor. Its a very his main will not be to very his main job will not be to attract. His main job attract investors. His main job will be to look at the ways taxes work and work out other ways so that he can, so they can get hold of taxation so that they can get extra money and invest it in daft ideas. So, wait, do you think the appointment of mark carney is bad news for anyone with a bit of in britain . Of money in britain . Honestly, appointments by honestly, all appointments by by the labour hierarchy will be very, very for good the skint and the dim and be shocking for the middle classes if they think taxes are bad now, wait until youve come up with some crackpot green schemes that need to be funded, because its going to be funded, because its going to be funded, because its going to be great for you, and then you will discover what real taxation looks like. We are in for a very, very difficult ride, and reeves already getting a retaliation in in first. This is shocking. This is shocking. This is shocking , right . Its shocking. This is shocking. This is shocking, right . Its going to get a lot, lot worse. I dont think people realise that the moment labour get in they will they will be the most disliked party within half an hour. That is the nature of politics in the world today. Thanks to social media. Talking of another labour figure, right. So the developments in the Angela Rayner Council House row, and i think this all feeds in really to whats going on. Rayners former neighbour branded her former neighbour has branded her an effing liar for claiming that she didnt live with her husband before an mp, and the before becoming an mp, and the labours hit labours deputy leader has hit back her spokesperson. Back through her spokesperson. They said gossip and hearsay does change the fact that does not change the fact that Angela Rayner maintained own Angela Rayner maintained her own Home Childcare home while sharing childcare responsibilities with her husband set husband at his property. She set out familys circumstances out her familys circumstances and expert tax and has taken expert tax and legal which confirms legal advice, which confirms that no Capital Gains tax was payable the sale of her home. Payable on the sale of her home. Rayner hasnt done a live interview since the allegations first emerged. Is she avoiding scrutiny . Scrutiny . Well, as guido fawkes pointed out in a rather good column today, its been 41 days since shes gone on television or radio. Really. Normally itd be 41 seconds before you could get her off the television. And the truth about the matter is, when a cabinet minister was in trouble, tory cabinet minister was trouble. She led the charge, was trouble. She led the charge, giving gob loads on it. On Breakfast Television and all the rest of it. Shed gone very, very quiet over, over what could be a serious tax issue. It its not for a lot of money, but the point about the matter is if, as this neighbour alleges, she hasnt been telling the truth, then unfortunately she will be running the country potentially in november. Running the country potentially in november. And if shes telling whoppers about her own private stuff, what else is she telling whoppers about . The deputy leader of the labour party embroiled in which she denies . Obviously, this capital got Capital Gains issue. Weve got the the labour party the leader of the labour party who embroiled in still who is embroiled in and still remains embroiled in the issue with speaker whether or with the speaker and whether or not issues to play at with the speaker and whether or not house. Issues to play at with the speaker and whether or not house. There|es to play at with the speaker and whether or not house. There youvelay at with the speaker and whether or not house. There youve got at with the speaker and whether or not house. There youve got the the house. There youve got the shadow culture secretary spending taxpayers spending 20 grand of taxpayers cash over the cash on arabic lessons over the course of years, and course of seven years, and obviously yet to see obviously were yet to see any evidence she actually evidence that she actually has learnt a word it, although learnt a word of it, although im sure has. And you look im sure she has. And you look at it all the round and you at it all in the round and you think, well, hang a minute, think, well, hang on a minute, you know, civil servant, you know, former civil servant, impartial, as chief impartial, now working as chief of party, of staff at the labour party, getting things getting away with things that, frankly, just frankly, the tories just cant, well, unfortunately, every time the anything, seems the tories do anything, it seems to up on them. To blow up on them. But is that because of this deep state issue, its because actually is always of actually the media is always of the and therefore anything the left and therefore anything that anybody on the right does is absolutely considered, disgusting and variously criminal. And so what we must hope is that there are more right leaning media as we go forward, whether thats possible under ofcom. Im unsure now, very finally and very quickly. Calvin, you and very quickly. Calvin, you were the editor of the sun for over a decade. You covered countless royal stories. Have you seen a pr disaster . The scale of what were dealing with with princess of waless with the princess of waless latest its true latest picture, its true because were in social because because were in social media, is media, everything is a conspiracy. Conspiracy. I love kate, the greatest person in to be part of the royal family in my lifetime. She royal family in my lifetime. She is carrying, almost carrying the royal family, almost on her own right. So i refuse to be massively critical. She tried to do the right thing. It turns out to be wrong. Our problem with it now is this is going to hang around the royal family now, potentially one way and another. Thanks to ai, thanks to conspiracy theorists hanging around in social media. It will be around us for a decade or so. I feel very, very upset. She doesnt deserve this and she definitely doesnt deserve it. While shes unwell, let her alone. She made the smallest of small mistakes and we should just move on from this. Move on. Well, we are we are moving on. Calvin. Thank you very, very much. Calvin mackenzie , the former editor at mackenzie, the former editor at the sun. Now coming up, the met police were the defensive police were on the defensive again at the weekend after arresting who holding arresting a man who was holding arresting a man who was holding a hamas terrorist sign at the palestine march in london.

And now if anybody wants pay anybody out there wants to pay for come and on for it, then come and knock on my ill about it. My door and ill think about it. Just think, hold so youre just think, hold off. Wait. Do you think there will a election, by the way . Well, we keep hearing these rumours, weve rumours, patrick. I know weve got about i think its another two before that. The two week before that. Thats the cut could be cut off date. But there could be a election, im not sure a may election, im not sure whether the conservative whether or not the conservative party november party will want a november election. Going have election. Were going to have another thousands of another summer of thousands of young crossing the channel another summer of thousands of youngsinglezrossing the channel another summer of thousands of youngsingle week g the channel another summer of thousands of youngsingle week. The channel another summer of thousands of youngsingle week. Thatslannel another summer of thousands of youngsingle week. Thats going every single week. Thats going to the up. That to wind the public up. Is that a vote winner . I think not. How did you tell rishi sunak . How did you tell rishi sunak . I didnt tell him, the news broke this morning on social media, and my phone was pinging from about 6 00 this morning. Ive had no contact from the party at all. And i thought at that stage, maybe somebody would have given me a call to say, hold on, lee, are you doing hold on, lee, what are you doing . Think about it. Nobody. . Have a think about it. Nobody. So at all. The only so nothing at all. The only contact ive had, in fact, ive not had no contact from the from the when i the the pm, even when i lost the whip. I mean , that came from the whip. I mean, that came from the chief whip. Didnt come from chief whip. It didnt come from the nothing at all. The pm, so nothing at all. Was a, a tweet that there was a, a tweet that went out earlier on that was from a Whatsapp Group, and its the Home Affairs Select committee, Whatsapp Group , which committee, Whatsapp Group, which i think it was James Sutherland apologised for getting the director there. It is James Sunderland there. My apologies for what ive been directed to do. And then James Sunderland removed lee anderson that to me indicates indicates a couple of things that, you know, hes clearly youve got support in the tory party. There are rumours that other people are going to jump ship to reform with you. Im not sure about that. I mean, but thats not the Home Affairs Select committee, Whatsapp Group. Thats probably the home affairs group. Which is separate things. Which is two separate things. Fair thats the fair enough, thats just the home affairs,. Yeah, yeah, there is a lot of support. Ive had a lot of, know, contact me lot of, you know, mps contact me some some cabinet members. Do you think other people will go and join reform . Then im not sure. Ive not had that conversation with anybody, if honest. Patrick but more if im honest. Patrick but more importantly, literally importantly, ive had literally hundreds members from and hundreds of members from up and down country me. Down the country support me. I know conservative posted a poll, this i think it was 75 this and i think it was 75 supported me, 25,000 signed a petition to get me, get the whip back. Theres a lot of support out there for what ive said. Could sunak have kept you . So, i mean, did a chat, so, i mean, we did a chat, didnt we, after the old sadiq khan issue , blew up and could khan issue, blew up and could they have kept you . I think they probably could. I mean, they could have tried to keep me, i think the problem is with with the pm. I think hes a good man. Think hes a decent good man. I think hes a decent man. Sometimes man. I think sometimes when youre its far too easy to sometimes its far too easy to pander to the to the baying mob. And try and make an example and come across as being strong and decisive. You know, i think keir decisive. You know, i think Keir Starmers tried to do it recently with some of his mps. I dont think it was the right decision, at the end the decision, but at the end of the day, hes pm. Day, hes the pm. The thing youve done a the thing is, youve done a lot party. Lot for the conservative party. I youve argue the i mean, youve got to argue the conservative has done conservative party has done quite you well. Quite a lot for you as well. Yeah it yeah it does. Yeah it has, yeah it does. Yeah it has, yeah it does. You i dont think many but you i dont think many members of the public necessarily recognise this. But you were lot of the time. You were out a lot of the time. You were, you were kind of you were, you were a kind of Golden Ticket for a lot of tory mps to their mps to go to their constituencies, their constituencies, to go to their conservative constituencies, to go to their cons up ative constituencies, to go to their cons upative red wall made turn up as the red wall made flesh, it were. Yeah. And flesh, as it were. Yeah. And deliver. Right. Theyve lost deliver. Right. And theyve lost that now havent they. And do you. Yeah. I mean like you just had kawczynski i had Daniel Kawczynski on i mean i his Association Six i went to his Association Six months raised , you know, a months ago, raised, you know, a couple thousand for him, couple of thousand quid for him, did members loved it. Did a speech members loved it. Ive been doing that for 18 months, two years, to about months, two years, been to about 100 different associations, raising of raising tens of thousands of pounds for conservative pounds for the conservative party speaking telling party and speaking and telling them wall journey. Them about my red wall journey. People might say, lee, but people might say, lee, youve now of youve been a member now of three different parties. Yeah do you have integrity . Yes, ive got lots of integrity. Patrick also wouldnt be on your show. Thats one thing. What will say about thing. But what i will say about being three different parties being in three different parties is politics havent is that my politics havent changed. All i want, patrick, is to live in a country which is safe. Got police on the streets where we control our immigration, both legal and illegal, migration, a safe country for a hopefully if i ever have grandchildren for them to grow up into and to hopefully play my to grow up into and to hopefully play my part in making sure that happens. Play my part in making sure that happens. And at the moment, happens. And at the moment, i cant see the difference between the labour party and the conservative party. Like i said earlier today , i want my country earlier today, i want my country back. I earlier today, i want my country back. I think weve given the country away to people that dont like our country. We importing , we letting importing people, we letting people come into the country that accept adopt that dont accept or adopt a British Values dont like our way dont like our way of life, dont like our history , our heritage, history, our heritage, our culture. Just keeps culture. And it just keeps happening. And happening time and time again. And weve even seen youve seen it. Patrick, youve reported it on show many, reported it on your show many, many were getting asylum many times. Were getting Asylum Seekers in that to seekers come in that go on to commit horrific crimes in this country. And all we from country. And all we hear from politicians its unacceptable. Latest polling i saw from the latest polling i saw from ashfield has labour on about 47. Im im reform on about 17. Thats rubbish. You think because i was going to ask are you definitely going to stand in ashfield. Yes, definitely. Youve been up to ashfield patrick. You saw the you spoke to them. The locals, you spoke to them. You the, know, the you saw the, you know, the attitude had towards me to attitude they had towards me to suggest, dont know whos suggest, i dont know whos doing these must, must doing these polls. It must, must be its absolute nonsense. So youre tempted to go so youre not tempted to go for clacton for somewhere like clacton where, people might where, you know, people might think it . Think youd walk it . Applied to be a when i applied to be a candidate for the conservative party, get chance party, you get the chance to 6my party, you get the chance to apply for seats all over the country. For one country. I applied for one ashfield. I wanted to be the mp for not at all. For ashfield or not at all. Are you at all concerned that you might now be about to destroy the conservative party . No. My concerns is, is this country is being destroyed and its being destroyed by parliament and its , you know, i parliament and its, you know, i come into politics by accident. Really . I never a career really . I never wanted a career in politics. Became an mp sort in politics. I became an mp sort of accident. In politics. I became an mp sort of accident. Im in politics. I became an mp sort of accident. Im here now, of by accident. Im here now, and i feel ive got a job to do. And you know, i said this today. Its country first, then its a constituency, and then its your party. Now, if ive got a chance to make a difference and make this country a better place , you this country a better place, you know, im not big myself up, but im that ive got im in that place. Ive got a voice. And youve noticed today, patrick, social media through patrick, on social media through gb news, the emails that come in, weve seen the telegraphs done a i think i know the done a poll. I think i know the other newspapers on poll. Other newspapers on the poll. Theres of support out theres a lot of support out there ive got say, there for what ive got to say, but sometimes these out but sometimes these people out there in their millions, like their get shut down on their parents, get shut down on social media and they feel like theyve voice , but theyve not got a voice, but theyve not got a voice, but theyve a voice, theyve got theyve got a voice, theyve got gb and theyve me and gb news and theyve got me and just youre still not just finally, youre still not sorry the old sadiq sorry about the old Sadiq Khan Islamist comments . No, i will never apologise. I will never surrender. All right, lee anderson, thank you very, very much. That is the new mp for reform uk for ashfield, lee, thank you very much for joining ashfield, lee, thank you very much forjoining us here on gb news. Now, earlier today, i believe we went out and about to ashfield, i think, and, spoke to some people. So lets see what some people. So lets see what some of them had to say. Its probably doing it to save his own bacon, to be honest , because the people around here would vote for would probably vote for a reform. Probably all reform. So thats probably all he doing it. Speaks truth. He is doing it. It speaks truth. And thats a lot of people dont like that. So. Well, i think its very nice and i dont have any , issues and i dont have any, issues about him at all. Dont get on with him. Dont dont get on with him. Dont agree with him. Just swapping and changing. Dont agree with and changing. Dont agree with his views. Well, i mean, its not my prerogative what lee anderson does, but i think that it would suit his views more than the conservative party. And hes tried the labour party already. So yeah, i think, i think its for him, maybe not for ashfield, but yeah, i think its, thats his lane. His lane. Its reaction time now from my panel, daily express columnist Carole Malone , trade columnist Carole Malone, trade unionist Andy Mcdonald and the Political Editor at the express, sam. Carole, ill sam lister. Carole, ill start with lee anderson with you. Lee anderson defecting to. He says hes had, you to reform. He says hes had, you know, millions of people getting in with him, telling him in touch with him, telling him its idea. In touch with him, telling him its you idea. In touch with him, telling him its you know,3a. In touch with him, telling him its you know, im a big fan of you know, im a big fan of lees. Love the straight lees. I love the straight talking. I think he says lot talking. I think he says a lot of people to at of what people want to hear at the mean, a great the moment. I mean, a great quote, want my country back. Quote, i want my country back. So of people, however, so do a lot of people, however, i mean, i kind of wish i think, i mean, i kind of wish i think, i mean, i kind of wish i got the chance to ask him the question, you know, three parties years. Its a parties and 6 or 7 years. Its a lot. And i dont know how, i dont know, i dont know if people will trust his commitment, you to, commitment, you know, to, to this party when hes been in the tories and in the labour party, i think he will. Its interesting. Weve just been talking to him earlier. He says hes convinced going to win hes convinced hes going to win this the election, this seat come the election, which kind of good which is which is kind of good news, do think hes, you know , news, i do think hes, you know, he politicians have a moment, dont i think lee dont they . And i think lee anderson is in his moment, where hes where hes , you know, his hes where hes, you know, his fears resonate among the whole country. You know , his worries country. You know, his worries about immigration, his worries about immigration, his worries about government, apart about this government, apart from anything else. And from anything else. Yeah. And i think you know, but im think hes, you know, but im just not sure that going to reform is the answer. Reform is the answer. And do you think that the three parties in six years issue is actually an issue . I mean, an argument could be that maybe his views havent changed that much, but have. But the parties have. Was thrown well, i mean, he was thrown out parties, you know, out of two parties, you know, suspended party suspended from the labour party for anti social behaviour. And then the then he was suspended from the conservative party what was the labour thing aboutwas something around gypsy it was something around gypsy travellers. Hed made some nasty comments the comments about them. So the Labour Council labour group on Ashfield Council suspended know hes suspended him. Now you know hes made nasty comments made some nasty comments about sadiq the tory have sadiq khan, the tory party have suspended and hes suspended him and now hes joined i think he joined reform. So i think he must sleeper must have been a sleeper agent for all this for keir starmer for all this time. Bizarre, you time. Its very bizarre, you know, this year he was know, only this year he was saying, you know, a vote for reform a vote for the labour reform is a vote for the labour party. Know, what it . Party. You know, what was it . Richard tice reforms answer to party. You know, what was it . Richarabbott. 3forms answer to party. You know, what was it . Richarabbott. Thats answer to party. You know, what was it . Richarabbott. Thats notner to party. You know, what was it . Richarabbott. Thats not very diane abbott. Thats not very nice. I some those clips. So yeah. Look, i played some of those too. Of those clips too. You know, is you know, that is hypocritical know you hypocritical object. I know you get but it is hypocritical. Yeah. Mean, he obviously yeah. I mean, he obviously says, he just says, well, look, he was just it was playing politics was he was playing politics i suppose. He then why did he suppose. Was he then why did he go join blokes party go and join the blokes party i dont i dont know sam, dont know, i dont know sam, rishi sunak apparently didnt contact him about the old islamophobia stuff and hasnt contacted him today. Now. And lee anderson claims that he could potentially have been capped by the tories as rishi sunak scored a massive own goal here. I think it is a real shame and i think they could have actually kept lee in the party. I think its hes got very close friendships in the conservative party to party people are very upset to have as he said have lost him today. As he said himself, is a big voice. He himself, he is a big voice. He is a big voice. He speaks for a lot of people and its a its a real loss for the conservatives. And could and they could have they could have tried a little and they could have they could hav harder, tried a little and they could have they could hav harder, have tried a little and they could have they could hav harder, have kept a little and they could have they could havharder, have kept him. Ttle bit harder, have kept him. Absolutely certain so absolutely certain of that, so i think, i there is a, i think, i think there is a, i think, i think there is a, i think there was a kind of error in the way they handled this. But i think actually, if you if you look at it from their point of view because of what happened in rochdale, to speak in rochdale, they had to speak out the antics of the out about the antics of the labour candidate there, and that made very difficult for them made it very difficult for them to , keep lee if he didnt to then, keep lee if he didnt apologise for the comments he made. So i think it was made. So i think, i think it was difficult for them, it difficult for them, but it wasnt impossible theyd made difficult for them, but it wbitt impossible theyd made difficult for them, but it wbit ofmpossible theyd made difficult for them, but it wbit of effort, ble theyd made difficult for them, but it wbit of effort, they theyd made difficult for them, but it wbit of effort, they could. I made a bit of effort, they could. The thing though, the the thing is though, the thing not even like he thing is its not even like he made an islamophobic comment. What wrong. He what he said was wrong. He didnt. Said was wrong. Didnt. What he said was wrong. Islamists control sadiq didnt. What he said was wrong. Islami hes control sadiq didnt. What he said was wrong. Islamihes not control sadiq didnt. What he said was wrong. Islamihes not matesol sadiq didnt. What he said was wrong. Islami hes not mates with diq khan. Hes not mates with islamists. Its not, know, islamists. Its not, you know, a sense of opinion. He wasnt talking his concerns about talking about his concerns about islamism. The islamism. He said that the islamists the islamists were in control of the mayor could have. Mayor of london. He could have. That untrue. That is objectively untrue. Have said. He could have said. He could have said. He didnt. But he didnt. But he didnt. He he he could have yeah, he he he could have said but did. Khan has said no, but he did. Khan has had uncomfortable moments. Had some uncomfortable moments. And what he what he yes. And what he what he absolutely say because he, absolutely did say because he, he that because he wrote back on that because what was what meant to what he said was what i meant to say khan lost say was sadiq khan has lost control have the control of london, as have the cops, absolutely true. Cops, which is absolutely true. We all know that. And so i was just going to say i think that that sam is absolutely right when she says, you know, the party should have kept him. We were out there were talking to him out there and he said that he was and he just said that he was told day one, you know, told on day one, you know, almost that he would be back quite well, just almost that he would be back quite so well, just almost that he would be back quite so slowly. Just if moved so slowly. You know, if you back whos going you want a guy back whos going to you the wall back and to get you the red wall back and is going get other people is going to get other people because need that wall because we need that red wall for the tories win the for the tories to win the election. They were too election. But they were too slow. Just ill just say slow. And i just ill just say that actually did. That actually he did. In original also in those original comments starmer. Comments mention keir starmer. Lets wasnt lets not forget that it wasnt only also not only starmer is also not controlled but he wasnt only controlled by but he wasnt only talking about. Of them are neither of them are controlled topic. draw line under topic. Draw line under this well draw a line under this for we will return to it for now. We will return to it though. Look, coming up, though. But look, coming up, this day pic this photoshop mothers day pic thats world thats left the world dumbfounded. Well investigate the saga the princess of wales saga alongside tomorrows first newspaper in my newspaper front pages in my press pack shortly. But next, britain erupted in fury over the weekend when this man holding a sign calling hamas terrorist was bundled to the floor by cops and arrested. I will ask human rights activist Shahid Beheshti , rights activist Shahid Beheshti, who was chased and threatened at a pro palestine march at knifepoint, what the hell is going on with our met police . Its patrick gb news. All right. Welcome back. Shortly. Ive got all of tomorrows newspaper front pages for you. But before that, here is the shocking moment. An is the shocking moment. An iranian niyak iranian counter protester Niyak Ghorbani arrested by the ghorbani was arrested by the metropolitan police while he displayed an anti hamas banner. Yes, yes. Wheres the police . Yes, yes. Wheres the police . Yeah, i mean, he was assaulted there, wasnt he . He was assaulted. He was dragged out of the crowd. Ghorbani was forcefully detained by multiple officers, one of whom appeared to as he to destroy the banner as he walks away. But in a statement walks away. But in a statement yesterday, metropolitan walks away. But in a statement yesterrsaid metropolitan walks away. But in a statement yesterrsaid a metropolitan walks away. But in a statement yesterrsaid a videoopolitan walks away. But in a statement yesterrsaid a video has. Itan walks away. But in a statement yesterrsaid a video has been police said a video has been posted alleging officers arrested a man for having an anti placard. This is not anti hamas placard. This is not accurate. He was arrested after an altercation was ongoing and officers intervened to prevent a breach peace. He was breach of the peace. He was arrested assault. Officers arrested for assault. Officers then reviewed the footage then fully reviewed the footage of the incident and he was later de arrested. Arrest was not de arrested. The arrest was not made relation to the placard. Made in relation to the placard. Still former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has slammed the force, accusing them of two tier policing. Well, im very pleased to say i am joined now by a chap whos at the front of the running away from of the pack running away from this lot. If you can see he was on or on youtube, hes a on telly or on youtube, hes a human rights called human rights activist called vahid now he was vahid beheshti. Now he was chased and attacked by a baying mob pro palestine supporters mob of pro palestine supporters at well. After at knifepoint as well. After carrying israeli flag through carrying an israeli flag through the streets of central london. Bearin the streets of central london. Bear in mind that was months ago, and still here we are with all of this taking place. Thank you very, very much. Do we have you very, very much. Do we have two tier policing in this country . What kind of threats are there against you and others , listen, i, lets put it this way. I think its better instead of, putting finger pointing on police and blaming police officers. There are out numbers, there are scared. We have to there are scared. We have to shift our focus to our decision makers, to our leaders, to our policies, our weak policies that we are having, which we are encouraging terror ism instead of sending a right signal to their, to their leaders, to these groups that we are determined to stop this kind of act, we are sending the actually completely opposite signal to them that we are not determined to do anything. Look, patrick, we have a big problem here. And our leaders, they are not willing to confess. We have a big problem of growing, extremism and fasciae ism in this country. And this is not the result of this year, last year or a few years. This is the result of 35 years of or inaction and investing of iranian regime. Irgc Islamic Revolutionary guard corps in this country in order to brainwash our youth for today. Let me put it this way. In 1976 or 1977, if somewhat somebody, told us in few years time we are going to witness public hanging in iran or flogging or stoning women for not wearing hijab in the streets of iran. No one would believe that actually, they were laughing at us and they were laughing at us and they were laughing at us and they were saying, you are out of your mind. But today , today we your mind. But today, today we are seeing this in iran. Few years after that, we saw that in iran. I am going to see, unfortunately, this give warning to my fellow british citizens and our leaders, my wife, mattie heaven, she said this 15 years ago in European Parliament today i say this if we are continue with this week policies and with the way that we are continuing , the way that we are continuing, we are we will witness in few years something in uk which now we cannot even imagine that thats terrible. Like what . Like what . Like what . Like what . Like public hanging. I am like public hanging. I am telling you, even look, the idea of creating a party which is called the public, the party of islam is taking us there, maybe was rejected by the electoral commission, but they rejected. But even the idea of that taking us in medieval times, when they mix religion and ideology with politics and governing the country, this is exactly what happenedin country, this is exactly what happened in 1979, which i dont call it a revolution. I call it islamist, occupation in iran. This is what happened. And this is this is the look , the growth is this is the look, the growth of and the nature of extremism is like this. Grow slowly, like a virus, when if infected, the whole society is too late to act tomorrow. Actually, i have a very important event in the parliament with doctor liam fox and lord polak focusing on extremism and about me being outside of Foreign Office for 385 days, a start with 72 days Hunger Strike in order to place the mother of terrorism, which is irgc, on the list of terrorist organisations. And i havent yet and i know a lot of people are very concerned. I know a lot of people are very concerned that we have been historically and continue to be very slow play. Very very slow to play. Some very dubious organisations on a terror suppose the terror watch list. I suppose the other of it is we dont other side of it is we dont tend to do huge amount with tend to do a huge amount with them they are on that them once they are on that terror but obviously terror watch list, but obviously we stay safe out we hope that you stay safe out on streets and that no harm on the streets and that no harm comes to you personally as well. And i know that you are very, very keen to point out and you are i think its worth just for the context of this well. You the context of this as well. You are a practising muslim, is that correct . Yes. Correct . Yes. Well, yes. And as a muslim, i am yes. And as a muslim, i am saying this and no one can blame me islamophobia because me with islamophobia because what are witnessing, the what we are witnessing, the growing of islamist fascism in this country has got nothing to do with islam. This is a different ideology, which i dont know. You know what we can dont know. You know what we can do with it, what we have to , you do with it, what we have to, you know, act before its too late because all our values, British Values, are in great danger. Okay, look, thank you very, very much for your time this evening. That is human rights activist , vahid beheshti. Evening. That is human rights activist, vahid beheshti. I will just say, obviously, look , it just say, obviously, look, it is, i think, a leap to say that we will end up with things like pubuc we will end up with things like public hangings in this country. But vahid has got his view and he that on, on what hes he bases that on, on what hes seen in another as well. Seen in another country as well. But coming up, the but look, coming up, the innocent mothers day snap that sparked biggest mystery innocent mothers day snap that sparkyshergar.

He did a great thing because, you know, historically, the have hidden the royals have hidden whats been them. Charles been wrong with them. Charles changed was a good changed that and it was a good change. Looked change. You know, if you looked at little statement that was at the little statement that was put the palace about put out from the palace about him, brief, but it was him, it was brief, but it was informative and it was all we needed know, think that needed to know, i think that kates recuperation been kates recuperation has been handled dont have a handled badly. We dont have a right i think right to know, but i think people want to know that people just want to know that shes to be okay. Shes going to be okay. Im going a little im going to play a little clip and ill get some reaction to of the to this. So a member of the pubuc to this. So a member of the public had bit public on twitter had a bit of fun tipping Sheridan Smith to play fun tipping Sheridan Smith to play the princess wales in an play the princess of wales in an itv drama called the lost princess. Okay, we can confirm for anyone confused that it was absolutely a joke , but it did absolutely a joke, but it did manage to hoodwink broadcaster gyles brandreth, who clearly fell for the fake news. Oh, there we go. Its a tweet of it. I think weve got a clip of it as well. There we go. Itv is doing the series now. Just announced with Sheridan Smith called the lost princess coming later the year. Coming later in the year. Sam ill start all right. Sam ill start with you on this. I mean, this is a now, isnt it . Does is a circus now, isnt it . Does everyone to leave do everyone need to leave off, do you think not . You think or not . Look, think the sad truth look, i think the sad truth is its obviously a very, very serious illness. Thats serious illness. I mean, thats just obvious, think the just obvious, but i think the palace. Well the palace is the pr machine is just not equipped for this kind of event. And its let it spiral completely out of control. I think they theyre so used to having everything on their own terms that they basically keep the at basically keep the press at arms length. They give arms length. They dont give them to anything, and them any access to anything, and then a crisis happens, then when a crisis happens, theyre not equipped theyre just not equipped to deal and i think deal with it. And i think actually the conspiracy theories that flooding internet , that are flooding the internet, the constant speculation, the reason so reason that everybody was so obsessed with this photo, they could put a stop to this. And yet they havent. And i think that mistake. That is a mistake. It made it worse. It made it worse. The made worse. It made it worse. You made worse. It made it worse. You know, ade worse. It made it worse. You know, this worse. It made it worse. You know, this wasyrse. It made it worse. You know, this was supposed to public republic to stop that public republic have jumped on as have jumped on it as well. You know, group who you know, the group who obviously abolition of obviously want the abolition of the monarchy. I mean, they are jumping this mean, jumping on this now. I mean, there was talk, wasnt there was even talk, wasnt there . Thought was quite there . Which i thought was quite disingenuous, there . Which i thought was quite disirfrom ous, saying, if was from people saying, well, if this woman , theyd this was any other woman, theyd be doing welfare check on her. Be doing a welfare check on her. Now wheres well, its not now wheres kate . Well, its not like mean, they like that. I mean, they have said ill. Shes obviously said shes ill. Shes obviously ill, its dont said shes ill. Shes obviously ill, anyones,ts dont said shes ill. Shes obviously ill, anyones,like,iont said shes ill. Shes obviously ill, anyones, like, thinks think anyones, like, thinks shes kept a basement shes being kept in a basement or you yeah. Or something. You know. Yeah. And its bold for the and i think its bold for the people saying that assume people saying that to assume that or whomever are that the police or whomever are not wherever shes not present wherever shes hanging but, you know, this hanging out. But, you know, this kind story, just like kind of story, its just like a simple release. Shes simple press release. Shes fine. Theres been fine. We know theres been speculation, mistakes made. Speculation, mistakes were made. Whatever. That chill whatever. I think that a chill out 80 of people on twitter or whatever called that whatever its called that doesnt. Its just it doesnt. I think its just it just says shes fine, just say shes fine, know . Shes fine, you know . Fine, clearly. But shes not fine, clearly. And the point, isnt it . And thats the point, isnt it . Thats conspiracy thats why the conspiracy theories happening. I dont theories are happening. I dont think 80 of people would say its what makes you its fine at all. What makes you think went through think i mean, she went through quite surgery. Think i mean, she went through quiobviously, surgery. Think i mean, she went through quiobviously, surg obviously, shes going to be like theres like ill, but theres no irregularities from the fallout from surgery. Not like from the surgery. Its not like she. Id assume so. She. Well, no, id assume so. Id so. Like, you know, id assume so. Like, you know, you know, always on it you know, im im always on it with charlie. Hes a good with charlie. Hes hes a good lad, no, i think just they lad, but. No, i think just they need clarify if shes if need to just clarify if shes if its going as planned or not, but think the kind but but i think the king kind of the is out of the the genie is half out of the bottle isnt it . Bottle now, isnt it . The king spoke, so it is. The king spoke, so publicly about his prostate problems. And then when he got problems. And then when he got cancen problems. And then when he got cancer, wrote, yes, kind cancer, he then wrote, yes, kind of went back into the kind of privacy mode. And obviously with, with kate, people want to know and you cant kind of do that half in, half out things they to know because, they want to know because, you know the we used to know, the queen, we all used to feel the queen was our rock feel like the queen was our rock in a way. We feel like kate is that, and just want to be reassured and we just want to be reassured that the rock is going to stick with latest picture. With the latest picture. You see i mean, you dont see anything but on anything serious, but its on the of daily mail the front of the daily mail anyway. Dont see anything at anyway. We dont see anything at all, but mean, all, really, but i mean, its like like proof of life, like its like proof of life, isnt its like literally isnt it . Its like literally its proof of photo, its a proof of life photo, right . We right . She is alive. There we go. Say. And i know go. I must say. And i know people going shouting people are going to be shouting at their Television Screens about i am over the about all of this. I am over the course of this show, i must say, ive come around ive increasingly come around to the that actually people do the idea that actually people do need a little bit need to leave off a little bit here, suspect there here, and i just suspect there is serious is something incredibly serious going all going on and, you know, all right, that. Right, maybe thats that. Anyway, coming dylan anyway, coming up, Dylan Mulvaney another stir mulvaney has caused another stir by gaga on by posing with lady gaga on international but International Womens day.

You all know who they are by now. So lets go to that bons by now. So lets go to that Boris Johnson story. The Prime Minister, minister, minister, former Prime Minister, looks to be deployed in looks set to be deployed in the red upcoming general red wall at the upcoming general election. Thinking was johnsons thinking that was interesting , isnt it . Told the interesting, isnt it . Told the times. If there is a way you can help, that is right for him and for the party, he will sunak will, of course be front and centre, but boris always wanted to take the fight to starmer, just as he always supported the conservative party he will do so now right. Conservative party he will do so now right. Ill start conservative party he will do so now right. Ill start with you now right. Ill start with you on this, sam, how do you think this is going to go down . Boris johnson in the red wall. This cannot be a coincidence that this is on the front of the times. On the same day that lee anderson, defector for. Dont think is yeah. I dont think it is a coincidence. And i think actually know actually express readers i know would boris would absolutely welcome Boris Johnson and the front line johnson back and the front line of politics, him of politics, they miss him greatly. Feel , they were greatly. They feel, they were very sad to lose him in the first place. A bit like lee anderson. Manages to to anderson. He manages to speak to people way that, most people in a way that, most politicians dont. He does not stick to the kind of robotic script that many do, he is a really effective communicator, and hes still very popular in a lot of the red wall. Okay. I mean, you now quaking in the red wall boots. I mean, im terrified, you know, im from the red wall originally. Im from the east midlands, and most people probably betrayed probably feel that hes betrayed them. He made all them. You know, he made all these promises during the these big promises during the 2016 referendum, in 2019 2016 eu referendum, in the 2019 general campaign. And general Election Campaign. And what achieve whilst he what did he achieve whilst he was minister . From 2019 was Prime Minister . From 2019 onwards . Covid obviously was Prime Minister .

He out because was he got kicked out because he was he lying. You know, he got caught lying. You know, i dont really i think this is quite reductive of peoples feelings the feelings in the midlands and the nonh north party. Not by people in youre not by the people in the wall. The red wall. Well, he hadnt well, maybe if he hadnt lied. I would actually politely suggest tories allowed lied. I would actually politely suggesto tories allowed lied. I would actually politely suggesto deposetories allowed lied. I would actually politely suggesto depose aries allowed lied. I would actually politely suggesto depose a massivelyed labour to depose a massively democratic elected Prime Minister and helped do it. One of what will go down, i think, is one of the greatest acts of political suicide that the country has ever seen completely. And i think its quite funny where whoever the Spokesman Says soonen where whoever the Spokesman Says sooner, of course, during the election, and election, will be front and centre and wont, not if centre and no, he wont, not if bons centre and no, he wont, not if boris on the election trail, boris is on the election trail, he will be. Will they . He will not be. What will they .

The he allowed in number 10. The point was reason why point is, there was a reason why labour to get of labour was so keen to get rid of bons labour was so keen to get rid of Boris Johnson. Labour was so keen to get rid of borand hnson. Labour was so keen to get rid of borand theres a reason why and theres a reason why rishi sunak is apparently so keen to him is keen to bring him back is because votes, and because he does win votes, and actually would be actually the tories would not be in anyway, right in this position anyway, right now very best canines have now the very best canines have been to paw the been going paw to paw at the crufts show, but its among the spectators was spectators where there was a Real International real dog fight.
