Welcome along. Its 9 05. Im Patrick Christys now. Keir starmer will be willing to sell this country out to the extremists if it gets him a few more votes. In my view, it hasnt taken long for the mask to slip. Its worth remembering that the labour party is only the second Political Party to be found to have acted unlawfully by the equality and human rights commission, the other being the bnp. Keir starmer says its changed well it hasnt. The mask supped changed well it hasnt. The mask slipped when wes streeting tweeted this about conservative voters, didnt he. 7 a tweeted this about conservative voters, didnt he . A win for susan hall and the conservatives is a win for racists, White Supremacists and islamophobes the world over. Starmer stayed silent. Why did he stay silent . Are yes. Well, could it be because wes streeting is quite possibly going to lose his seat to an independent, pro palestine candidate . Thats exactly what i think could happen. His majority is 5218, the size of the Muslim Population in his seat, 25,743. Thatis population in his seat, 25,743. That is 27. 3 of his electorate. That is 27. 3 of his electorate. Goodbye, wes. So starmer cant condemn his comments. Its weak. In london, starmer kept his mouth shut when sadiq khan launched another dogwhistle attack on the chief rabbi. He said that the reason the rabbi had called him out for his Gaza Ceasefire stance was essentially because he was a muslim, saying that the rabbi didnt call out andy burnham because hes not called ahmed bahraini. Hes now apologised , but starmer didnt apologised, but starmer didnt condemn it. Why not . Because he wants to win. Keir starmer has got Jess Phillips piping up now, saying shes worried about losing her seat because of the partys stance on gaza. Shes got a majority , apparently of got a majority, apparently of over 10,000, in birmingham, yardley. But the percentage of yardley. But the percentage of the muslim vote in her constituency is a whopping 37. 4. Thats around 32,000 people. So what happens . Are the newly what happens . Are the newly elected mayor for palestine . Sorry sorry West Midlands. Yeah thats right. Immediately tweets an Israeli Offensive in rafah must not go ahead. Immediate ceasefire. Theres some other stuff on there as well. I mean look Birmingham Council has just gone bankrupt. But yet you focus on the important local stuff. Mayor, youve got nutters like this all in great horton , this all in great horton, manningham, heating city ward, ankola. Im trying to tell you something here. This is a clear message to starmer. Bradford has rejected labour. Its rejected zionism. And this is a message zionism. And this is a message to you. Nashar and imran hussain, we are coming for you in the general election anyway. In the general election anyway. Hes got anyone that stands with zionism. Were coming after you. Zionism. Were coming after you. Free palestine, free palestine. Free palestine, free palestine. I wonder if he knows what day of the week the local bin collection is. But anyway, keir starmer will do whatever it takes in order to win him and people like him back. And if you dont believe me, just look at what hes been willing to do with natalie. Elphicke. This woman is essentially to the right of genghis khan, okay . Shes been criticised for slamming her husbands sex assault victims. Shes also been told to f off by the shadow chancellor. Shes been absolutely caning starmer, his party. Every labour mp and everything theyve ever done. And yet just to try to score a cheap point against rishi sunak, starmer was willing to throw his arms around her, welcome her in and then send out the swivel eyed Anneliese Dodds onto the media round today to say how elphicke is a good fit for the labour party. I mean, heres the nationals front page. Hes there you go. Look, look. Laboun there you go. Look, look. Labour. Labour values being suspended from the commons for trying to influence a judge in her ex husbands Sexual Assault trial, backing johnson and truss, supporting israels bombardment of gaza , attacking bombardment of gaza, attacking trade unions over p o firing scandal, scaremongering about vulnerable Asylum Seekers and finally blaming rashfords mess on Free School Meals campaign. Its interesting, isnt it, that starmer was willing to just allow someone with those views into his party . Starmer has already turned a blind eye to sectarianism in rochdale. He had sectarianism in rochdale. He had no qualms sending out his shadow cabinet to go into bat for their candidate , after he claimed that candidate, after he claimed that israel had allowed the october seven attacks. Keir starmer has no problems standing idly by while his lot throw around fake islamophobia claims. Call normal people White Supremacists and flirt with anti semitism at the pro palestine rallies. I dont think hed have any problem selling britain down the river for a few more votes, which, by the way, he doesnt even need. And i think that makes it even worse, doesnt it . But lets get the thoughts on my panel this evening. I am joined by the Daily Telegraph columnist allison pearson. Weve got conservative peer lord shaun bailey and ex labour Party Adviser matthew larzer. Allison. Should we be worried about keir starmer being prepared to embrace sectarianism . Yeah i think we should be very worried. I think we could be looking at the gradual islamification of our country. We do not want a bunch of muslim councillors dictating British Foreign policy. Thats thats the thats the basic fact. And what we saw, the basic fact. And what we saw, as you said, lots of local elections , muslims, cross with elections, muslims, cross with labour for starmer not taking a more anti israeli line defect to the greens. I think its a lovely fat patrick that all the hard line muslims are in the green party, plus the trans women. So were very much looking forward to that party conference, arent we . Oh yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Should be should be a meeting of minds. But well be there by the way. But basically i want to see that with my own eyes. Youll be in there. Youll be in there. But this guy, im not sure youll be allowed in. Patrick i predict youll be banned. This guy moeen ali wins east leeds, where people are concerned about what people are concerned about what people are concerned about what people are concerned about in every local area in the country. Potholes, planning permission, you know, dust bin collection. But no. Mr dust bin collection. But no. Mr ali wins. Shouts allahu akbar , ali wins. Shouts allahu akbar, god is great and then says this win is for gaza. You know, do win is for gaza. You know, do the people, the people of leeds think rafa might be the tennis player . They certainly dont know where it is in the gaza strip. So yes, im very, very worried. And i think starmer has said, oh, you know, we must regain trust. What does that mean . Bending to the bending to the will of people who are using now their voting muscle to affect us. So, matthew, youre furiously shaking your head there. I mean, where was starmer on, you know, sadiq khans latest outburst at the chief rabbi or wes streeting calling a load of people white supremacist . He keeps quiet because he needs the votes, doesnt he . Well, i mean, patrick, im a bit confused because youre trying to have your cake and eat it. Youre trying to simultaneously claim that labour is in hock to islamist extremists. On the one hand. And yet youre criticising the defection of Natalie Elphicke, on the other hand, whos many things im saying. Hes got no principle. Im saying that hes willing to do whatever it takes to get votes. And those two go hand in hand. Its absolutely not true. I mean, the footage you saw there of the guy in bradford, his whole point was that he was opposing the labour party. He was nothing to do with the labour party because he was criticising the labour party. Weve seen this week, this group, this group issue a muslim vote, issue a list of 18 demands. And you say will, will keir starmer give in to them . The answer is no. And youve seen that already because his response is i spoke, ive spoken to keirs office and their response is absolutely clear. Yes, of course, always have conversations with people from communities of all different types , but no to giving in to types, but no to giving in to demands, you know, engaging. Yes being held to ransom . No. Well, i mean, keir starmer hasnt personally addressed the 18 demands because hes had other things to talk about. I mean, if somebody asks you, im sure he will. But sean, you know, he also didnt address wes streeting tweet about susan hall. He also didnt address sadiq khans comments there about the chief rabbi. Also didnt really address for quite a while. Far too late anyway, what was going on in rochdale and i just wonder really whether or not he would be willing to embrace sectarianism if it meant that he got votes. Well, thats a problem. He didnt he didnt, he didnt. He didnt he didnt, he didnt. He didnt step up and answer them. And if youre a neutral, youll be sat there thinking, okay, if you dont embrace these things, ineed you dont embrace these things, i need to hear it from you, not from your office. Youre trying to be the Prime Minister of the country. I think what were seeing now is palestine in particular, has become a double edged sword for labour. They were theyre very pro that and thats good. They, they want to see a ceasefire, dont want to see a ceasefire, dont want to see people hurt. And we all agree that i certainly do. But because theyve rebelled and wobbled certainly on a local level now people are saying we reject you. And whats important about what that councillor said. Its not that he doesnt want to have anything to do with the labour party. He said hes rejected them. So he thought that labour were going to do a particular thing around it and theyre not. And i dont know why he thought that, because theres never been any indication. Ill tell you why. Because they havent been clear. They havent been clear. Theres been lots. Weve been so clear, sean. Weve lost 70,000 votes in the West Midlands. We nearly lost a morality against it. And youre saying, susan, lets remind ourselves, susan hall got hammered last week. Sean. Matthew, thats your candidate lost. Thats different. The public have been clear. Hes community been clear about what they want. The labour party has not. Theyve tried to absolutely clear sean. Thats why thats why they lost tried to play both sides. Its a desperate attempt to smear the fact. The fact he got hammered last week. Your candidate got hammered. She did worse than you did. Changing the subject. What . Youre talking about is that community there. Were not talking about susan hall. That man said. Were not talking about her because she was a total failure. That man said his community have rejected the labour party because of what they have or have not done. Why is keir starmer responsible for what that guy says . What some random person says . What some random person says . Because lets deal with the labour party. Sean palestine is a very big issue for the labour party because of the way in which they played it. Lets bring alison back into it now, because, you know, there are aspects of this where Jess Phillips is piping up now saying, you know, im absolutely bricking. Im paraphrasing, obviously, im absolutely bricking it over my seat because of gaza. She tweeted that, and, and what does the mayor of the West Midlands do straight away . Oh, right. Ceasefire now. Ceasefire on gaza, ceasefire. You know, sadiq khan again, one of the first things after his re election, a ceasefire on gaza, thats the governments policy to not the mayor for those particular not the mayors for palestine, are they . Yeah, i think matthew is being disingenuous. Yes. In extreme muslim growing muslim numbers who have been labour supporters, theyve been counted on as a bloc vote for labour, and now theyre kicking off on certain aspects of things. And i think we are going to see labour mps, even very good and honourable ones, under pressure to bend to certain policies, absolutely under pressure, inimical to the will of the majority of british people under pressure. Pressure. But theres no evidence that they are doing the bending. Youre absolutely right. Of course. Its a very serious issue. I course. Its a very serious issue. I totally agree with you, alison. Can i just put under pressure if he is willing to allow someone into his party who, by the way, i have, apart from the fact that shes just done this bonkers defection, im really got a massive issue with Natalie Elphicke at all. I mean, you know, i thought i thought she was relatively sound until quite recently, actually, but, you know, you might let you in, patrick, if you want to. Yeah, yeah, im not sure i can get that through. The national executive, but if hes willing to forego all of his principles and let her in at the cost of, by the way, quite a few of his own mps, then what is there to guarantee he hasnt all of a sudden you end up with this ranting and raving allahu akbar guy with a with a labour rosette. I dont understand what principle hes changed. Natalie elphicke in Natalie Elphicke has been absolutely Natalie Elphicke made a speech in the house of commons ten days ago about housing, where she criticised the government completely for its retreat on the landlords bill. Thats the thing shes going to be advising the party on, okay . He hasnt changed. He hasnt changed one policy because of Natalie Elphicke. Her politics have have changed because she sees what a failure the conservative government is. And the rats are leaving the tory sinking ship. Can i can i Say Something right. Most people in the country are not going to say, oh, well done, natalie, you know a lot about housing. Thats the right thing to do. What theyre going to say is keir starmer should have shown a bit of class and said, thank you for your support. But no, because youre very, very, very far away from where we are and where were going. But the reason he didnt say that, because he doesnt have one particular direction of travel, thats the difference. Matthew, most people are not sat at home with a, with a with an excel sheet looking at policy. What theyre looking at is how does this feel, what these people say. And she has been 100 miles away from where what shes doneis miles away from where what shes done is what shes major done. Sean is the complete and total failure of this government total failure of this government to stop the boats, her constituencies in dover, her constituents are paying the price for 14 years of government failure and migration, which has seen the small boats crisis get worse, not better. Saying its all about her that i saying its all about her thati can saying its all about her that i can accept. No, im saying that she thinks the government failed on the small boats crisis and that she has got a plan keir starmer. She just said thank you natalie, but no support us from over there. A year ago, Natalie Elphicke wrote an article for the daily mail complaining about that starmer was was weak on the small boats, so shes changed her tune, hasnt it . Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. And people do change their mind. And were going to discuss later that labours next step on its plan to stop the small boats, which im sure shes going to endorse. So any surprise about natalie is that shes far to the right of most of the people sitting on the conservative benches. I mean, theres at least 50. There are far more left wing than she is, arent they . No, there arent more like 300 of us. I think, you know, we hear all too often, dont we . That silence is violence. And i think we have to consider that when we think about how silent keir starmer has been on some of the, i would say, filth, what wes streeting tweeted was filth. I think about how basically people who want to vote for conservatives are white. Didnt quite say that. Didnt quite say that. Well, what did he say . He well, what did he say . He said a victory for susan hall would be a victory for White Supremacists and racists. And susan hall endorsed donald, endorsed donald trump, and she liked islamophobia. She liked islamophobic posts on facebook, he said. And thats why she got hammered, you know, because because the people of london, of all
