Gary lineker has spoken out on the conflict in gaza this this divisive figure is making a mockery of so called bbc neutrality. Ill be dealing with the organised nations biggest star in a special take at ten. So lots to get through. Gary lineker at 10 00. But next up is five years of starmer really the answer for britain . Really the answer for britain . Well, my answer is coming after the headlines with Aaron Armstrong. Armstrong. Very good evening to you. Im Aaron Armstrong in the gb newsroom. Angela rayner is newsroom. Angela rayner is expected to be interviewed under caution as part of a council tax investigation. The deputy labour leader is understood to have been contacted by Manchester Police concerning the sale of her house in 2015, amid claims she might not have paid the right amount of tax and that she may have made a false declaration about her primary residence on the electoral register. Reports in a number of newspapers say shell be invited to attend a Police Station voluntarily, rather than being arrested. Ms rayner has said arrested. Ms rayner has said shes confident the rules have been followed at all times. The uk says it would support palestine gaining full member status in the United Nations when the time is right. The comments by the Deputy Foreign secretary come as israel has launched fresh attacks on northern gaza in an effort to prevent hamas from regrouping. Its three months since the idf claimed it had taken control of the area. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of palestinians continue to flee rafah in the south as israel prepares to launch a major offensive. Launch a major offensive. Earlier, hamas posted a video claiming the british israeli hostage Nadav Popplewell has died after being injured in an airstrike last month. The government says its urgently seeking more information. Deputy foreign secretary Andrew Mitchell told gb news its not unfeasible to suggest a palestinian vote in the un could happen before the conflict is resolved. Resolved. It is right to recognise palestine as a state at the United Nations, at the right time, and that doesnt have to be at the end of the process for peace, it could be as part of those negotiations. And britain will support palestine becoming a state at the un when we feel the time is right. That isnt now , but it may, as i say, be now, but it may, as i say, be before the end of the peace piocess. Process. At least seven people have been killed and 17 injured, including two children, after an apartment block collapsed in russia, state media says fragments of a Ukrainian Missile , which were downed by russias air defence systems, landed on the building in the city of belgorod. Ukraines regularly targeted that region. Its just 20 miles from the border between the countries. Rescue efforts the countries. Rescue efforts were hampered when the roof also collapsed, with rubble covering emergency crews. Meanwhile Vladimir Putin is set to replace his defence minister with the ukraine war into its third year. The russian president has proposed removing longtime ally Sergey Shoygu after 12 years in the role. Hes to be replaced by andrei belousov, a former deputy Prime Minister who specialises in economics. In a surprise shake up a sergey lavrov, the countrys veteran foreign minister, though, will remain in his job. Thousands more parents in england will be able to apply for 15 hours Free Childcare from today. Parents of children who are older than nine months from september can now apply for support.

Parents must earn a minimum of the equivalent of 16 hours a week at minimum wage, but less than £100,000 a year to apply. And two skydivers have apply. And two skydivers have become the first to navigate their way through tower bridge wearing wingsuits. Their way through tower bridge wearing wingsuits. While some wearing wingsuits.

And in a take at ten special in just one hours time , gary lineker one hours time, gary lineker has spoken out on the conflict in gaza. This divisive figure is making a mockery of so called bbc neutrality. Ill be dealing bbc neutrality. Ill be dealing with the organisations biggest star in no Uncertain Terms in a take ten special a reacting to those stories and lots more. Tonight we have Edwina Currie live in the studio, neil parish and Paul Richards. Plus the most important part of the show, your views , they come straight to my views, they come straight to my laptop. Gbnews. Com forward slash your say and this show has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. Lineker at ten. But we start with my big opinion. I start with my big opinion. I dont want to labour. The point , dont want to labour. The point, but sir keir starmer will likely be our next Prime Minister. And while the tories have made a horlicks of the last few years, and whilst i myself have voted labourin and whilst i myself have voted labour in the past and i dont rule out doing so in the future, let me tell you that five years of socialism is not the answer. Of socialism is not the answer. Take a look at just one policy. Labour was petty and spiteful. Plan to price poorer families out of an elite education by adding vat to private school fees. This disastrous and fees. This disastrous and damaging policy hasnt even begun, and yet its already doing damage. Begun, and yet its already doing damage. Mish. The times doing damage. Mish. The Times Newspaper report that the number of children joining private schools has dropped by the largest proportion in more than a decade, as parents make the judgement , they will no longer judgement, they will no longer be able to afford these higher fees. This exodus is expected to grow. Now, you could say that these people are in a decent income bracket, so tough luck. But heres the problem. Where are those kids going to go . These aspirational middle class families will instead buy properties in affluent areas and take up pupil places at high quality state schools in the pubuc quality state schools in the public sector. This will deprive poor kids whose families cannot afford to live in affluent areas, from going, for example, to a top grammar or selective school. Poorer kids who dont live nearby or who dont have access to expensive tutors to pass the entrance exams, will get shunted to their local bash street comprehensive of academic experts have also said that this cruel policy will lead to some private schools closing, at which point a flood of these children will need to be educated by the state. And this comes at a cost of almost £10,000 a year to the uk taxpayer per pupil. And what about the impact on little johnny or little jane being dragged out of their school and away from their friends and the School Community because of a shallow political policy designed to throw red meat to the left of starmers party, new state schools will likely need to be built at a cost of billions, which is why labours argument that somehow this will be a money spinner is hollower than an easter egg. Well, this ludicrous policy of taxing education is the brainchild of the leader of the opposition , the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, who, with a brass neck wider than mike tysons, said this week that he wanted to get away from gesture politics. Well he is the king of gesture politics with his ridiculous posturing during the pandemic, calling for lockdowns every ten minutes at his pretend press conferences where he tried to look statesmanlike with his endless u turns. This is a guy that has more positions than the kama sutra, with his mental gymnastics over whether only women have a cervix. And of course , most egregiously, when course, most egregiously, when he took the knee to the divisive and discredited cause that is black lives matter, his so called plan to stop the boats, announced on friday, is another empty gesture, putting starmer in charge of stopping the boats is like handing over the boats is like handing over the nations blood supplies to count dracula. This guys policy to crush the criminal gangs is really just a souped up version of a policy being pursued by the current government , of a policy being pursued by the current government, and one which is failing as it is on the continent , because starmer which is failing as it is on the continent, because starmer did not get the memo that these people traffickers are mobile, theyre ruthless and they have theyre ruthless and they have the internet. The king of the internet. The king of gesture politics will axe the rwanda plan, even if it works, even if it works. Wow. The brilliant andrew neil, formerly of this parish, writing in the mail newspaper this weekend, has dismissed labours plans as merely the creation of a new quango. He wrote a Government Agency to add to the plethora already dotted all over the place of British State bureaucracy. The people smugglers must be quaking in their shoes. The slow march to a their shoes. The slow march to a Labour Government with a potential landslide, which will give them the ability to permanently alter the fabric of this country, may be inevitable , this country, may be inevitable, but its regrettable too. The rwanda plan is already working. Ask the irish government. There ask the irish government. There is now momentum in the economy. Inflation is falling faster than harry kane in the penalty box. And according to the head of the office for National Statistics the economy is going and i quote gang busters. Weve got the gang busters. Weve got the highest growth in the whole of the g7 , ahead of the united the g7, ahead of the United States of italy , of france and states of italy, of france and of germany. What will labour do . Boost union power, which means more strikes . They will burden employers with extra costs and red tape and yield to the union barons. Inflation busting, unaffordable wage demands. The unaffordable wage demands. The tories have discredited themselves with Boris Johnson yielding to the prophets of doom at sage in order to destroy the country with those ruinous and failed lockdowns. And we all know about liz trusss mini budget and her short premiership, which failed to outlive a salad. But weve now finally got a decent Prime Minister who we are about to consign to the dustbin of political history. Something, political history. Something, mark my words, we will come to regret. Yes, the tories have regret. Yes, the tories have been awful, but replacing sunak with starmer is like replacing your less than perfect boyfriend with someone. Even worse, someone with tattoos , a someone with tattoos, a motorbike and who still lives with his mother. Britain motorbike and who still lives with his mother. Britain has got many problems, but the answer is not a starmer led Labour Government. I hate to break it to you, but history shows socialism doesnt work. Unfortunately, people have short memories. Your reaction memories. Your reaction gbnews. Com yoursay your say. Ill get to your thoughts in just a moment. But first, tonights top pundits. Former tonights top pundits. Former government minister Edwina Currie, ex tory tory mp and farmer neil parish. And last but farmer neil parish. And last but not least, top labour insider Paul Richards. Great to have all three of you with me, edwina. Ladies first. Welcome to the studio. Looking in very fine fettle. The countrys got fettle. The countrys got problems. Five years of labour is not the answer. I was delighted to hear the nice things that you at last said about rishi sunak. Well, yes, i think hes probably underrated. The bottom line is the tories have made a horlicks of running the country for the last few years. But finally theres a grown up in charge. Hes on his way out. My argument is be careful what you wish for. Well, thats absolutely right. And one of the key things that pops, you didnt put a lot of emphasis on is what of Labour Governments done in the past. And theyre still talking about doing lots of stuff about workers rights. You know, workers rights. You know, theres loads and loads and loads of workers rights and hardly any rights for employers. But what you will what we will find is that they will agree to any pay demand they will. Theyre going to abolish their contracts, which i think is a shame because it suits a lot of people to have them. And they will make sure that everybody is if theyre on strike, then they were going to get the money that they asked for. It doesnt actually improve the productivity issue that were facing as a country, and we will find that we look back and then we say, goodness me, its has cost us an awful lot more. Our taxes have gone up. What have we got for it . And the answer is zilch. Zilch. Paul richards, i will grant you that keir starmer is ten times better than Jeremy Corbyn, but starmer is no tony blair. Its a low bar. And of course, starmer campaigned for corbyn to be Prime Minister. The issue is that starmer is no tony blair. Hes not aspirational. Hes not going to have low taxes , hes not going to support business in the way that new labour did. Labour did. I dont think thats fair at all, actually. If you look at labours plans for business, theyre robust. Theyre saying pro worker but also pro union. And you can be that. Also pro union. And you can be that. And then also pro business that. And then also pro business as well. Hes talking about a very high level of growth in the economy, which will benefit business. What the growth weve got now i mean its working brilliantly. Lets keep this government very, very anaemic. Lets face it. I mean it. I mean , it. I mean , the it. I mean , the ons are i mean, the ons are predicting potentially 2. 5 of growth this year, which would be higher than america. Well, and youre suddenly believing all the experts from the ons, you know, after years of slagging them off. So, you know, well, theyve certainly always underestimated our potential havent they . I think its very anaemic. And you do need a kick start on growth. And thats one thing that labour is promising, but also investment in the Public Services as well. Everyone knows the nhs is on its knees. You cant get a dentist, you cant see a doctor. The roads are full of potholes, the trains dont work. You know, we do need a bit a kick start in some of those Public Services too. And thats what labour will offer. But most of all, i think people are just desperate for a change. Even if they think theyre going to just take a gamble on labour. It cant be any worse than the last few years. Okay, neil parish definitely a gamble, isnt it, on labour . Because what are we actually going to get because we. Edwina currie is quite right. All these employment laws, all this extra cost, especially Small Businesses that will hit them hugely, and also not being able to dismiss anybody , all of these to dismiss anybody, all of these things are horrendous. And you take the local elections a couple of weeks ago, yes, labour did pretty well and the tories did pretty well and the tories did badly, but they did nothing like as well as the opinion polls said they should. Theres no doubt theres an anti tory feeling out there. But in the local elections anybody voted anything but tory . They didnt particularly vote labour. And so i think youll find its not all oven i think youll find its not all over. The game is still there because the economy is improving. Theyve got a chance in september. If the economy has improved, Interest Rates will have reduced and there will be some tax reductions. And so therefore people will have perhaps a little bit more of a choice, because i think what theyve got to do is put the past behind them, because theres no doubt with the problems with boris, then with the when with the liz truss economic axe. That didnt quite work out, did they, at all. And then weve got now rishi sunak who, and jeremy hunt who have actually turned the economy round. And i think people perhaps will not jump in and say lets risk labour. Paul , i lets risk labour. Paul, i voted. Go on. You make your point. Thats great truth in that. Thats great truth in that. Actually, i do think the next election is a done de
