politically? was it a little nightmare? yeah but, you know, some of that stuff because we were talking the other week, weren't we? about you know, pineapple and cheese on sticks at parties and acas oliver laurence. >> they're all coming back. >> they're all coming back. >> it's all coming back. so maybe we need to buy creamer for our coffees as well. >> yeah, i wouldn't be up for that personally. no. would you? >> no, i don't like it. i don't like it. no, it's too creamy for me. i don't really have milk in my coffee anyway. oh, no, your oats. milk. i have almond, almond, almond. >> we're discussing this morning how we say that word. oh yeah. almond or almond ? almond. i'd almond or almond? almond. i'd say almond, yeah. >> so if we say nugget rather than nougat , we always got very than nougat, we always got very confused when there was an advert for a chocolate bar and no nugget filled with nougat. like, what's that? >> no, no chicken nuggets or golden nuggets would be the only thing that is a nugget. >> i never thought of it like that. yeah a nougat is something totally different. >> that's what you get in a mars

bar, right? >> well, look, i'm being educated this morning. quite right too, anyway, keep your thoughts coming through if you want to return to the 1970s. maybe it feels. it feels like we need to at the minute. gbnews.com/yoursay >> right now, is it time up for prime minister rishi sunak? well, it's been a miserable weekend for him so far. first of all, sadiq khan won his third term as london mayor yesterday afternoon . afternoon. >> it's londoners who inspire me every day to continue our mission of building a fairer, safer and greener london and in what i hope will be a year of great change. a future labour government led by keir starmer, working with us in city hall will mean we can go much further and accomplish so much more. >> well, just a few hours later , >> well, just a few hours later, the conservative andy street lost the west midlands mayoralty, which he'd been expected to retain to labour's richard parker by 1508 votes.

>> well, joining us now is the former lib dem mp mark oaten. really good to see you this morning mark. thank you so much for your company. what's your assessment of what we've seen over the weekend so far , good over the weekend so far, good morning to you both. i think it's probably what all the three parties expected privately, the labour party would have expected to do as well as this. they would have underplayed it before these results came out. the conservatives worst nightmare was they'd lose half their seats. will they have done? and the lib dems would have hoped that they could make breakthroughs in the seats they're targeting in the next general election, and it looks like they have done so. probably it's exactly what we expected at this time. it would have been a shock, frankly, if the conservatives could have done better than the polls predicted, and it would have been a shock also, if labour had underperformed. so it's broadly where i would have expected us to be this time out of a general election. >> yeah, but what's interesting , >> yeah, but what's interesting, i think, and because, look, we

knew it was going to be bad for the conservatives and it has been, but i think it's whether there's been dealt a, a killer blow in all of this. and i reckon losing andy street might be because it's such a shock . be because it's such a shock. >> i think that was the tipping point of disaster for them. in many ways. that was the one hope they were going to hold to . on they were going to hold to. on by they were going to hold to. on by all accounts, street was a popular mayor and if a popular conservative gets defeated in these circumstances , that will these circumstances, that will send a shiver through many, many conservative mps up and down the country because a lot of them will think, look, i do a good job locally. people like me, i hope i've got some personal votes. what the street result shows is that a personal vote just ain't going to save you in this political climate. there will be a lot of tory mps waking up very concerned this morning. >> i mean, does that result with andy street suggest that the challenge facing the conservative party is even greater than first thought? i think it probably does, i don't

know if i was a conservative party strategist. what i do next, bluntly, and that's always frightening because in these circumstances you can think, well, i could maybe change a policy, you know, throw the electorate some tax cuts. well, they've tried that. that hasn't worked . they might think, well, worked. they might think, well, let's throw in a new leader. well i think they've done that 3 or 4 times now. that hasn't worked. and the bluntly just comes an inevitability in the electoral cycle where everything you try and do is not hitting home. and i think the conservatives have bluntly got to that point. now, their best strategy will be to minimise the losses when it comes to the general election . general election. >> is the labour party offering anything apart from not being conservatives ? conservatives? >> i think that's what starmer has done very cleverly. he's not offered much and in doing so he shut down the opportunity for attack on policies. now i can remember back when i won my seat in 1997 for the lib dems , there in 1997 for the lib dems, there was huge enthusiasm about tony

blair. people really wanted that change. what i don't see with starmer and labour is that kind of enthusiasm , so the conclusion of enthusiasm, so the conclusion i think we draw is that, look, their best placed to get rid of this unpopular conservative party but there's no massive enthusiasm for labour either. but i think starmer will be happy for that. he's a safe player and he'll say to his party, look, you know, i've kept it calm, i've kept it quiet. i've not exposed us to new policies . steady as she goes. policies. steady as she goes. and he seems cautious. but that cautious approach at the moment seems to be paying off. mark as you were just describing. >> it's difficult to see how the tories are going to move forward from this as a party. do you think the results over the weekend may have changed the timing and rishi sunak mind of when he might call a general election? there's been talk, hasn't there, about october, november and going as long as possible . well, do you think he possible. well, do you think he may now call an early general election and as you say, focus now on minimising the losses ? now on minimising the losses? >> absolutely not. it's my view.

i mean, when you know you're going to get wiped out, why call an election? it's the classic turkey voting for an early christmas. his best hope. and it's his only hope, is that interest rates eventually start to fall, that the inflation comes down. and he can have a narrative with the public which says, look, it's been really tough. it's been bad. we've seen you through covid, we've seen you through covid, we've seen you through covid, we've seen you through ukraine. but look, the signs are here. the economy is recovering . i think that's is recovering. i think that's his best hope. the problem is that the interest rates aren't coming down, and so he'll want to play it long in the hope that by, i believe, something like mid—november , the bank of mid—november, the bank of england will have cut those interest rates. the economy might be looking stronger. and to do that he needs time . so to do that he needs time. so i believe he'll go as long as he possibly can. >> all right. so we've got a lot to wait for in all of this, seeing as you were a lib dem. can i ask you about what the lib dems are doing at the moment, i just don't know if it's falling on deaf ears. really. they're doing a lot of ed davey is doing

a lot of stunts , are they paying a lot of stunts, are they paying off or not? >> well, i think the results from the local elections would satisfy ed davey. i think the party would say they are doing enough. i mean, look, if you look at those results, they've actually come second ahead of the conservatives in the seats won . and that's a, you know, won. and that's a, you know, a pretty remarkable effort. but what you're not going to see from the lib dems is this big national campaign in a much more focused. they have their eyes on maybe 40, 50, 60 seats. the general election and they are going to be absolutely targeting those, putting resources , money, those, putting resources, money, stuffing leaflets through people's doors in those individual seats. so it might not actually have an impact on the global national radar, but all they care about is winning those particular target seats. and they would say the results the other night show they're on target to do that . target to do that. >> but in terms of national, i mean, in local politics, lib dems have always been strong. i wonder if in national politics, they're focusing on a small

number of seats, what are the predictions? i saw based on the local results said, well, they may get an additional eight seats and take them to 38 or whatever the number is. i mean, they're basically acknowledging aren't they, that they will be nothing more than a protest party, a protest vote, and some, like me, would argue that maybe the party needs to be a little bit more ambitious and to, to argue for stronger things nationally about what they can achieve. >> but they were very, very concerned by what happened when one of their previous leaders, jo swinson , said, my name is jo jo swinson, said, my name is jo swinson, i'm going to be prime minister. and it was ridiculed . minister. and it was ridiculed. so i think they're very cautious about making grand claims. personally, i think they're heading for maybe 50, 60, 70 seats. they would never say that publicly, but if you look at the individual results from constituencies up and down the country where the lib dems are second, local people know that if they want to get rid of the tories, they vote for the party who's in second place. and in many seats that is the lib dems. so i think quietly behind the

scenes, they'll be confident that they can have quite a big breakthrough at the next election. is it exciting? is it hitting the headlines? no it's not. will it be effective come the general election? probably yes okay. >> oh interesting. mark oaten really good to see you. thanks very much indeed. >> thank you. lots of you getting in touch this morning john andrews morning to you says morning you two. today the tories need to be held to the fire. no more pretending they still have a chance at the next election. they lost the mayor in the west midlands, andy street. that's shown the tories everything. they will now lose the red wall. we need to be realistic, he says. many tory voters will now move over to reform. if nigel comes out of retirement, that's a big if. >> that's the big if, i mean, heck, he's just not saying anything at the moment, is there? >> yeah, i think he'll he'll leave it as long as he can. i think, that's my prediction. but yeah, do keep those views coming in on what we've seen over the weekend. what are your thoughts? >> gbnews.com/yoursay now, donald trump's hush money trial enters its third week in new

york tomorrow. >> yes. the former president is accused of falsifying business records over hush money payments made to the adult actress stormy daniels in order to cover up their alleged affair. >> well, he's denied all wrongdoing as we know. let's talk to professor scott lucas, professor of us politics at university college london, good to see you this morning. i have to see you this morning. i have to say, i don't really know much about what's been going on in the trial because the headlines certainly over here have all been sort of contempt of court and gag orders and all this sort of thing . of thing. >> oh, absolutely. i mean, you know, all the drama has been that trump has been fined $9,000 because he continues to insult the proceedings , insulting the the proceedings, insulting the judge, insulting the prosecutors, insult , saying the prosecutors, insult, saying the judge's family, the judge's clerk. but it's been really important these two weeks in terms of setting up, where we go with the substance of this trial, which , of course, is trial, which, of course, is about falsifying business

records as part of an interference in the 2016 election. and i think you just heard from mark oaten that in politics, sometimes it's quite good to be quiet but effective . good to be quiet but effective. the same is true in trials. what the prosecution has been doing , the prosecution has been doing, because this is their term in court, has been laying out the evidence, which is i think is pretty clear, that that the trump team were very worried about his , sexual encounters and about his, sexual encounters and his affair , his affair with his affair, his affair with karen mcdougal, his sexual encounter with the porn star stormy daniels, that there was motive there to try to keep stormy daniels quiet, that the money was paid to her in october of 2016, and the next week, they'll probably then get to the substance of. yes, and then the business records were falsified, to cover up that payment where the defence is going to go when it comes their turn. i don't think they can really knock back that evidence . i think what they that evidence. i think what they do is they'll go after the witnesses, they'll go after the character of the witnesses, especially stormy daniels and

mike, donald trump's former fixer, michael cohen . fixer, michael cohen. >> and how do you think this is actually affecting donald trump himself? because we've seen, haven't we, scott lucas in previous trials that this actually helps him a lot in the polls is, it feeds into his narrative, doesn't it, of him versus the establishment. but actually, i think for the first time in this trial, we have seen him getting somewhat frustrated . him getting somewhat frustrated. do you think that's because it's been such a long trial so far? >> well, i think it was always a bit of a myth. more it was a spin line by the trumpists that the trials always help him . you the trials always help him. you know, they kind of say that because it's like, oh, don't put him on trial or else he'll win, i don't think it helped him. for example, when he was found guilty of defamation and sexual assault of e jean carroll the writer, it won't help him with women voters. in terms of this trial, what's compounded that is that trump is kind of limited in what he can say, because of course, he risked getting fined if he lashes out too much. and because practically he has to be in court rather than on the campaign trail. and for that

reason, he is getting frustrated. he is getting angry in court because trump doesn't really do procedure. he doesn't do evidence. he doesn't even do. dare i say it, the legal process. he does big speeches. he does loud and bigly. and he can't do that, while this trial goes on into a third week or fourth week and a second month. >> okay, scott , good to see you >> okay, scott, good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. well, we'll see what happens tomorrow when it all kicks off again. thank you what happens tomorrow when it >> now at 6:16, let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom. >> the family of daniel anjorin say they're devastated after he was killed walking to school in london on tuesday . the 14 year london on tuesday. the 14 year old, who had been described as loving and precious, attacked by a man with a sword in hainault. four other people, including two police officers, were injured and marcus monzo, a spanish brazilian , was charged with brazilian, was charged with murdering the teenager and appeared in court earlier this

week. >> more than 20 dogs have been seized after police raided a suspected illegal xl bully breeding farm in sheffield. 16 of the animals are being looked after in police kennels after they were discovered in what officers described as appalling conditions. six other dogs were so unwell they had to be put to sleep. the breed was added to a banned list, but campaigners argue that the ban is unlawful and irrational. >> and if you've seen snakes on a plane, well, almost a reality actually. after a man tried to board a flight with two of the reptiles stored, let's just say somewhere they shouldn't have been. according to airport officers in miami, he was stopped at security, and after they discovered the snakes smuggled in his trousers , well, smuggled in his trousers, well, that's his underpants. it would seem officials posted pictures of the of the snakes on social media, and reassured followers that they were handed over to experts .

experts. >> well, it gives me the heebie jeebies . jeebies. >> i mean, why would you want to put a little tiny? i mean, anything could happen. >> you don't like it at all. don't like seeing the pictures. >> i mean, it's bad enough when you got ferrets down your trousers. they nibble, they do nibble. you've got to tie the you've got to tie the bottom of your trousers. otherwise they fall out. >> oh no. awful terrible. oh no. it's my skin crawl . it's my skin crawl. >> yeah. king charles takes on about 300 new patronages. pat, you say that word. >> patronages . it's a struggle >> patronages. it's a struggle with a difficult one. it is patronages, patronages . let's patronages, patronages. let's just say it quickly. >> can't get me to my truck anyway, you know what i mean? anyway, some of which are thought to be very close to his mother's heart. >> well, that's his critics fear that a royal row is ensuing over prince andrew's home, royal lodge in windsor, which is in desperate need of repair, with some questioning whether he should indeed be living there at all. >> all right, let's talk to former butler to king charles grant, harold, who joins us now

from somewhere exotic, probably because you always seem to be away somewhere exotic at the moment. grant first and foremost, you're taking on these new roles. i don't know how much you have to do within each role, but it seems at a time when i'm a bit surprised he's done it, at a bit surprised he's done it, at a time when his health is still obviously a little bit fragile, good morning to you both from tokyo , as you said, they have, tokyo, as you said, they have, you know, he's taken on these passages. i think it's to show us all that even though he's obviously got these health battles that he's , obviously battles that he's, obviously fighting cancer. but at the same time, as we know, recently he started to talk about increasing his engagements. and i think taking these on is very much to show the country all of us, if not the world, that it's kind of almost, almost back to business as normal. because as i've said before , he's somebody that does before, he's somebody that does not like just to sit down and do nothing. so if anything, as soon as the doctors may have given him a bit of, obviously hope that things are going well , he's that things are going well, he's decided that he wants to increase what he already does ,

increase what he already does, which doesn't surprise me, because that's exactly the kind of character he is. as i said, he's not somebody that likes to just sit back and do nothing. it's a complete opposite. and i think that's why he's probably quite happy to be able to do this. and again, it's things that were close to the late queen, which he is obviously, as now king, he's keen to continue a lot of her work, should we talk about prince andrew? because it's the front page of the sunday mirror this morning? apparently the estate at royal lodge in windsor is in a state of disrepair, and there's questions about whether he should be living there at all, i mean, as you know, this this is a former home of the late queen elizabeth the queen mother. and of course, he obviously has lived there for a few years. there's been debates in the past about whether he should have that property. it's quite a substantial sized house. i think it's between eight and ten bedrooms. obviously, it needs repairs done. i think it's regardless of who's living there, the what, we still have to be done to that property because again, as one of the royal properties, it's somewhere that they've got to kind of look after and undertake its kind of

care, whether that's been paid for by, let's say, the king or whether that's paid for by him, that's very much down to what the agreement is between them all. i know from a personal point of view, when i used to live in royal properties, that that was something that i would, depending on what had to be done. you know, if it's something that had to be done, then it was done by the estate. if it was something i wanted done, then i would do it. so that's what it comes down to. so if these are general kind of repairs that have to be done, then technically it's probably then technically it's probably the estate that should when it should be covering it, can i ask you about i mean, i don't know if you if you've, you've cottoned on to this on the other side of the world, grant, as you are, but republic, who obviously are, but republic, who obviously are not a fan of the royal family and they've declared the 5th of may national. how are they phrasing it? national repubuc they phrasing it? national republic day, first ever this year there's going to be a big eventin year there's going to be a big event in trafalgar square. apparently what are we to make of that? i mean, it's people have got a right, of course, to

not like the royal family or to not like the royal family or to not like the royal family or to not like what the royal family stands for. do you think there is a growing appetite for that sort of thing or not? >> do you know, it's interesting, stephen? i mean, you know , it's a free country. you know, it's a free country. we're allowed to protest. we're allowed to kind of speak our mind. that's that's what's great about our country. and there's people that love the royal family. there's people that don't, and there's also people, i'm actually on a on a queen elizabeth's ship and i've been talking to a lot of the guests who i've been here, and it was interesting. some of them were saying to me, they love the royal family, but they don't always agree with the way things are done. they don't agree with certain members of the family. so it's very much, can i say a marmite situation? sometimes but with republic, of course, you know, they've got every right to kind of voice how they feel about it. there's always people that do feel strongly about it. but i always think, you know, if you look at what the alternative is, you know, we are i feel personally, you know, my view is i love our royal family. it was an ambition from a youngster to get to meet the late queen and let alone work for the family,

and you know, we only we've only got this one royal family and if we got rid of them, then that's it.then we got rid of them, then that's it. then what makes us unique? i feel that our royal family does make us quite unique and special and without going into it, you know what it costs each of us is it's still very little in the big scheme of things, and, and just very briefly, because i did want to end on some happier news, which is, of course, the royal windsor horse show, which was near windsor castle yesterday. >> we saw some beautiful pictures of the duchess of edinburgh, the duke of edinburgh and their children yesterday, which was just wonderful to see. >> absolutely. and again, they've taken on other engagements again, which the late queen would have done. i'm sure you remember the late queen loved to attend that. and of course, horses animals were one of her greatest passions. so it's quite nice that obviously her son and as you know, the duchess of edinburgh was somewhat was very close to the late queen. it's quite nice to see them both there, continuing to enjoy this with their children. and i'm sure remembering, his late mother at the same time . the same time. >> grant, really good to see you

this morning. it >> grant, really good to see you this morning . it looks like this morning. it looks like you're touring the world on that lovely boat as a fitness guru. what's going on, i have to. i have to say, if you, have you got a new health regime ? got a new health regime? >> i've actually, discovered a personal trainer, so i've ended up losing a little bit of weight and having a bit of a makeover. >> that's what happens when you're on a ship. >> you look great, grant. you look really good. yeah, good on you. >> thank you very much. good to see you this morning. thank you. >> oh, he looks really well. tokyo suits him. >> he does look really well. he does? oh, maybe i need to get personal. >> no , don't be nasty to yourself. >> no no no, no, but, you know, room for improvement. >> would you be. >> would you be. >> i don't think i cope with the personal trainer very well. >> no, i wouldn't think i would really. >> but they boss you about. >> but they boss you about. >> i mean, he's looking great. >> i mean, he's looking great. >> he is looking great. >> he is looking great. >> maybe that's the trick. >> maybe that's the trick. >> oh, dear. i'll have a think about it as we look at the weather with kathy. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on .

go out to shop. and i was just listening earlier to your forecasts for this weekend. it's quite nice and bright here in southwest london right now, but tomorrow is meant to be pretty bad . so if people were intending bad. so if people were intending to go and shop, on monday, then they probably won't do it. if it's very, very wet. and i think that has affected monthly sales as well. so here we are, the beginning of may, when people are looking forward to the summer and the retailers are saying we actually are not selling enough. if you look at some of the data for march, for example, which is an official figure. so no change at all in volumes in sales. we've just had the cbi distributive, trade, indicators coming out which suggest a fall in april. so a lot of retailers are now putting a lot of emphasis on what's going to happen this weekend. >> you mentioned some initial deals, are they the ones to look for rather than your sort of ten, 15% off? >> well, this is really interesting because when you look at some of the suggestions

that people are making, see newspaper articles, magazines sort of suggesting whether it's and also, some of the, the websites, there's a lot of 10% discounts if you spend a little bit more, you may get 15. if you spend a little bit more than that, say over £200 or even £1,000, you may get 20. well, it becomes more interesting, of course, at that level. but in reality there is a serious concern that retailers put their pnces concern that retailers put their prices up a little bit before the sales. so you haven't noficed the sales. so you haven't noticed maybe that they've been creeping up a little bit and then they are able to say, right, we're reducing this now by 10. there are people who who watch this, who track prices through the year. and when the pnces through the year. and when the prices come down, like for example, this weekend, then they buy in bulk the things that they need, particularly cosmetics, is what i've been hearing people buy because they're very expensive. and if you want to buy creams and so on, then you might as well wait for some real offer. and they last usually for the year, if that's what you want to do. but really, what you should be going for is the bigger offers, which just shows

that retailers really want to get rid of something. and if it happens to be the type of thing you want, or there is a real promotion, on an electronic gadgets because they haven't sold all that much, or there's something new coming on that they really want to encourage you to buy, then that is where some of the bargains might be. so 10% watch it. if it's considerably bigger, nevertheless , even then go back nevertheless, even then go back and check if you can track the price and see how it's moved through through the past year. and the consumers, of course, know that, you know, inflation is coming down and goods, inflation is practically zero right now. so you're doing really well if you're able to get an extra, let's say, 20% or 25% discount on what you wanted to buy. >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> sounds good to me. yeah it does, vicky, really good to see you.thank does, vicky, really good to see you. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. and on on the topic of finances money, di reid has been in touch. thank you. di saying money coming out of your ears. ellie, is the phrase. that's what i meant to say. not spending out of your ears. money coming out of your

ears. money coming out of your ears. and it actually means you've got too much money if money's coming out of your ears. so i have the opposite problem. money is going into my ears, not out. wish it was. i am going to enter the euromillions. >> yes and it's all your paintings. i'm very old. i just see you going into one of those, chip and pin machines or coins being slotted into my head. >> i need something, so euromillions is this week. i think, so i'll be entering that. yes. anyway, thank you for your help. di yeah. should we look at the sport? >> i think we better have, morning. >> good morning to you both. morning. only one place to start today. >> town? >> town? >> absolutely . i mean you in the >> absolutely. i mean you in the blue and white of ipswich. royal blue and white of ipswich. royal blue as well. look like you to have. >> no. we're big fans of the occasion actually. >> but yeah. there you go. sensational. yesterday they look theyit sensational. yesterday they look they it was in their hands. they had to beat huddersfield town who were all but relegated apart from barring a freak mathematical, you know, run in their favour. but they won two nil. it's not always easy. and when the pressure's on, when you've not been in the premier league for 22 years as well. one of the goal scorers, george hirst, thrilled for him to get

to the premier league. his father, david hirst, played for sheffield wednesday, suffered a horrific injury in his premier league period back in the 90s and never really got back to his absolute best, so i'm hoping his son can do the business there. kieran mckenna, the manager we mentioned yesterday, 37 years old, links with manchester united. he served as number two to jose mourinho. he served as number two to jose to ole gunnar solskjaer. more recent, more recently he took over ipswich even when they were 12th in league one. so that's two divisions below the premier league. they've achieved two promotions in two years, surely? surely, sir james ratcliffe has surely, sirjames ratcliffe has got to be looking at this guy, he said yesterday. bring on man united. i've got an association with this club. he's not stepping away from these links with manchester united. they need fresh blood. man united's owners are the sort of people who look at young, up and coming coaches and think to themselves, actually, maybe their time with our statistical model, maybe there's time with our marginal gains model. so don't be surprised if he's linked again later in the summer. should they decide to dispense with erik ten hag, but nonetheless should should they? >> well, come on, he's gone. you think they will? yeah. >> oh, god. yeah, i think they

will as well. i have to admit, he looks rather beleaguered, isn't he? but if you look at ipswich, just. i don't want to take any, any shine away from what they've achieved yesterday because it really is monumental. but if you think about it now, i mean, they're going to be massive celebrations now over the next few years. they've got some huge pedigree. i mean, you know, this is a, this is a club that's lived in the shadow of norwich city over the last few years. actually, norwich have beenin years. actually, norwich have been in the premier league four times since ipswich were last in it and when ipswich were last in it and when ipswich were last in it they were really good. i mean they got relegated, but the season before that they competed in the uefa cup, had some excellent players and obviously the managers back in year decades gone by. sir alf ramsey went on to manage england and win the 66 world cup. and of course, bobby robson, who was famous as manager of during the italia 90. >> the other end of the table, though, things are really heating up. >> yes, they are indeed. so look, huddersfield have gone, have gone down but i just want to touch on leeds because it doesn't finish there. no, because i'll tell you why. because just because leeds have gone to the front page of the sun on sunday, today i'm going to hold it up to camera eight if

i can, because elf will buys into leeds. now will ferrell and i mentioned leeds because leeds missed out yesterday on account of ipswich winning. so if you take a look at that for a second, you'll see that will ferrell is he has bought a stake in leeds united i see. yes he has indeed. in leeds united i see. yes he hasindeed.so in leeds united i see. yes he has indeed. so he's bought a stake in 40 niners enterprises who bought leeds last last june. leeds on account of ipswich winning promotion yesterday have to compete in. they could have gone up yesterday if it was such a one. and leeds and all these americans mind you. >> well i mean old ryan, ryan reynolds, canadian but even so well it is but i mean i think that there's, there's a real cachet towards these historical football clubs. >> not so much wrexham because they've really made it into something there, but they've said will ferrell's spokesperson . spokespeople have said that there's no plans to do a fly on there's no plans to do a fly on the wall documentary for netflix or anything like that, but he's wowed by the club. he's been introduced to a few football clubs in the last couple of years, so you can see he's been speculating, but he's bought a stake in the holding company that owned leeds united. as i say, they got into into the club last june. huge disappointment for them yesterday . they missed for them yesterday. they missed out. they're going into the playoffs. they lost to southampton at home. who are also in the play offs. and leeds will play norwich next next

thursday. but you know when you go into the play offs, steven you want to be in some kind of form. leeds lost four nil at qpr last week, two one at home to southampton yesterday. you need to be in good form going in it. you need to be in a positive frame of mind. the only positives at the moment is will ferrell on the front of the sun on sunday. oh should we talk about the title race heating up between man city and arsenal. yeah, this is interesting because erling haaland scored four goals yesterday as as wolves responded to arsenal's three nil win over bournemouth by beating wolves at home five one. and this is interesting because roy keane had had had been criticising haaland recently for being a league two striker when it comes to playing outside the box, there's history between the two families. roy keane injured erling haaland's father and ended his career back in 2001 and when he was presented with this, with with this comment yesterday by roy keane, saying, oh, he says you're a league two striker, he said he said, well that's fine. i don't care about that man. their disdain is absolutely obvious and they want to play out in that episode because you can be sure that roy keane will respond at some point. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> well, shall we talk about snooker? >> yes. why not? we've got interesting final today. it's

jack jones got there having beaten stuart bingham and kyren wilson beat david gilbert. now the only thing i would say was that although although the story is interesting, jack jones is a qualifier, they're not names that we're really, we really know. no but but this is the whole point, isn't it? >> you got a new talent. look at luke littler. >> yeah, that's true, that's true, that's true. yeah, but he's 17. i true, that's true. yeah, but he's17. i mean, well going going on 45 i'd say. but but there's no mark selby. no, no ronnie o'sullivan. no judd trump, no john higgins. now just sometimes think that they had their time i think sometimes think that they had theirtime i think i sometimes think that they had their time i think i think o'sullivan had another one i do, but this is the thing. maybe this is why it needs to get to saudi arabia, because they need to make stars out of these players. you remember when barry hearn had the snooker back in the back in the 80s? he was more involved in it. there were household names. you had dennis taylor with his glasses upside down. yeah but there was nothing else to watch on telly. >> that's the other thing. do you reckon? >> yeah, actually. well, definitely not 1:00 in the morning when they're the world champion. the world title in 85, watched by 22 million people saturday afternoons or whenever it was on, there was nothing else on my nanny's, my nanny's to watch it with, with a cup of

tea. >> three channels, no. from 82 onwards we had we had four, didn't we, 82. >> yeah, but it was november 80th. i remember brookside before that, but it just wasn't that much. i didn't have chance. >> i know there's a lot. there's a lot more, a lot more to compete. but come on, there were more personalities then, weren't they? in snooker? well, you know, you see steve davis, steve davis was the exception because he was boring. everyone else was interesting. you had terry griffiths, the welsh postman, you had john parrott, the or you had you had, jemmy white, jemmy white, the crafty cockney. well it was the same name as eric bristow in darts, actually. but if you look at darts 20 years ago, it allowed itself to be commercial and it allowed itself to be razzmatazz, if you like. snooker is just a little bit more stuffy with all their waistcoats and bow ties and stuff hasn't allowed itself to go that way, i think. i think it might have to. if it goes to saudi arabia, it needs to be more. >> razzmatazz does indeed. >> razzmatazz does indeed. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> heard it here first. >> heard it here first. >> aidan. forward. >> aidan. forward. >> ellie, thank you very much. >> ellie, thank you very much. >> all right. we've got the papers heading our way in. just a couple of minutes with andy jones

>> welcome back to breakfast. should we look at some of the newspaper front pages today? >> better had sunday mirror leads with chris andrews crumbling royal lodge that he could be evicted from the mail on sunday leads with the king receiving a major boost in pubuc receiving a major boost in public confidence. >> as a new poll shows . brits >> as a new poll shows. brits think he's doing a great job. >> the observer has sir keir starmer's call on rishi sunak to call an election without delay. >> the sunday telegraph leads with labour winning the mayoral elections in west midlands and london. >> sunday times has middling and boosting starmer's hopes of number 10. >> well, joining us now to go through the papers this morning is andy jones. and emma burnell really good to see you both this morning. and emma should we start with you and the observer front page this morning. this is sir keir starmer. yeah. kiss. >> calling for a general election. you would expect no

less after the weekend that he's had , although labour have been had, although labour have been calling for a general election for quite some time now. right. >> four and a half years. well, yes . yes. >> i mean it's the opposition's job. >> really. well, yes. >> really. well, yes. >> yes , and after the results of >> yes, and after the results of the, the mayoralties, sunak was pushing very, very hard. the line that he would retain both ben houchen in tees valley and andy street in the west midlands. >> i mean, the andy street thing is i think is the biggest shock of this whole election. >> absolutely. i didn't expect that. i'll be completely honest. i'm wearing my partisan colours today. i'm, you know, i'm a labour supporter . today. i'm, you know, i'm a labour supporter. i today. i'm, you know, i'm a labour supporter . i always have labour supporter. i always have been, i did my leafleting for sadiq and clearly it was me. what won it, why, sadiq? >> because, i mean, obviously the issue with maybe it's just politics, but the issue a lot of londoners seem to have with sadiq just shows that he is a divisive character. well people

say london need more of unifier. >> i mean, one of the things that sadiq has done, particularly in terms of where the labour party was 4 or 5 years ago, is really reach out across faith communities. he is across faith communities. he is a devout muslim man, but he is actually very well respected in the jewish community. for example, for all the work that he's done to try to bring those communities together, and particularly in the last six months, that's been incredibly hard with everything that's going on. so people say he's a divisive character. i would say that if we'd had his chief opponent, susan hall, i would say she's a considerably more divisive character and we would not have seen a bringing together of londoners under any mayoralty that she may have run. now, there were very, very odd rumours flying around on. i think it was friday night that susan hall might have won it. in fact, sorry. sadiq khan, increase least the percentage majority that he won by i mean

that was very odd because i mean all all the briefings were it was on a knife edge. >> she may have just taken it. >> she may have just taken it. >> i think it suits everyone. when the, when the, the people are going out to vote and just afterwards to say it's been very, very close. labour want people to get out and vote. >> the conservatives lost the vote. >> no, no, i understand that. but they were saying it was a lot closer as as we were going through the week, it was a very strange thing, but i think it was taken from sort of 2 or 3 quotes from different people. i don't think it was a universal thing. you see a lot of this repetition in the media where someone says it's close, and then that goes absolutely everywhere, and it's where it takes so long to count. >> what what caused that was that the turnout in the outer london boroughs was was , had london boroughs was was, had gone up, and turnout in inner london boroughs had gone down. yeah. and there's still this sense, this hangover sense in many ways that the outer london votes tory and in a london votes laboun votes tory and in a london votes labour. but actually we've seen a massive dispersal of labour votes out to the outer boroughs , votes out to the outer boroughs, out to the home counties. and

this is why there are places that are going labour that weren't traditionally labour for many, many years because the, you know, the cost of living and the cost of living in zones one, two and even three, london is so increased that people who are in traditional sort of, you know, labour positions, labour families, you see them moving down those train lines out along the tube lines out to those outer boroughs. and i think the demographics are really changing and that's something to watch . and that's something to watch. certainly at the general election, there's a number of seats in the home counties in those outer boroughs. one of the ones that i've got my eye on, not least because my parents live there, is chingford and woodford green, where ian duncan smith is the representative, which is really quite high on. >> and a lot of the conservative voters are moving out, aren't they, as well. so you've got you've got sort of the younger people moving out and then the conservatives moving even further out. yeah, i think it's quite interesting, but we're i thought we'd have a lot more punchy quote from conservative ministers this morning, but it's almost like they've given up

them as well. it's almost like nobody, nobody even wants to change the leader, because no one wants to be the leader, because no one wants the general election defeat that's coming up on their cv. >> well, it was quite interesting what james cleverly had to say, if i can find it now, but he essentially was saying, look, it was tough. there's no point in pretending otherwise. but he says voters that have drifted away, as he describes it, will come back to us in time for the general election. so he's he's making out a lot of time for them to come back. >> i think i think it was really interesting that andy street lost. i mean, andy street campaigned with, without mentioning conservatives at all on any of his literature. he was broadly pretty popular in the midlands. >> so what happened there, do you think? >> i think it's a push back nationally. i think andy street was was i don't know how close he was to quitting over the hs2 debacle. that's impacted the midlands, but i think he was universally seen as i mean, the, the obviously the incoming labour mayor was very, very complimentary about him. i know they were obliged to say nice things, but he did seem genuine. >> he went further than you would traditionally . it was

would traditionally. it was really classy on both of their parts. >> i think he was he was reasonably seen as a decent guy and whatever you thought of him, he was tremendously hard working . oh yeah, but he vanquished any mention of conservatives on his on his literature, and he was still beaten. and the whole the other interesting thing as well, i think the issue of that a lot of people who were very pro—palestine were supposed to be voting against labour because of, obviously, keir starmer's more neutral stance . and i don't more neutral stance. and i don't think that's happened. well, the people are more take i think 60,000 votes. >> yeah. i mean that that is quite a lot. >> i don't think it was the seismic thing that we were expecting. i'm talking nationally, but i think it was a seismic thing that we're expecting. sadiq khan was expected to lose a lot of votes because of keir starmer stance, and i think it's important and interesting that people are still voting on british lines rather than international ones. >> yeah, let's have a look at the sunday times. andy. headteachers are wanting a clamp down on bad behaviour, but not from pupils. >> no. >> no. >> we're getting and anyone who knows teachers will know that this is becoming an increasing problem. where where parents perhaps are very, very

protective of their children in a way that goes beyond what is acceptable with parents being abusive, parents being aggressive parents turning up at the schools, parents sending in in both terms of online communications and literature, but it's almost this view that that parents now think that teachers are supposed to parent their kids for them. and they almost and kids, we hear now, you know, we hear a lot of discussion that kids are that they don't respond well to discipline, but parents won't even let you discipline their children in terms of telling them off. why is my boy being told off? what have you said about my daughter? this is unacceptable and it's become an aggressive, almost problematic thing. and the national association of head teachers conference yesterday , conference yesterday, intimidating behaviour is almost commonplace. and they want national action of it. they're going to have a sort of a movement to have a campaign about it. no abuse. be respectful to teachers. and it's becoming harder and harder to get , becoming harder and harder to get, certainly in certain types of teaching as well, in certain age groups and certain,

subjects, it's becoming harder and harder to get to. >> i mean, this is the thing if the parents doing it. yeah. what on earth are the kids learning? >> well, that's exactly it. >> well, that's exactly it. >> i mean, when i was a kid, if you got in trouble in school, which i didn't very often, but every now and again, all the time, a bit of a detention. yeah. yeah. you were terrified to tell your parents because your parents were. would take the teacher's side. yes. you shouldn't have done that. you are getting the punishment you deserve. if the parents are saying to teachers you shouldn't be punishing my kid for misbehaving in school, that's that's that's not good parenting . it's not good parenting to not instil that sense of discipline instil that sense of discipline in your children and say, this person with authority has the right to enforce that authority. >> yeah, there has to be universal positive reinforcement, i think, with discipline. and the other thing is, if you're a teacher and you know that, you know, 1 or 2 bad kids in your class can, can, can ruin your life and then if you have a couple of parents as well who are waiting at the gates,

they're trying to get in to see you. they're they're being offensive and aggressive. it can completely destroy your happiness at work. respect. you've got to have some respect. and also, there's so much literature now for parents to read that they think, oh, well, no, my child's been wronged here. or, you know, they think they've got an amateur psychology degree or they think they can teach better. and there's so much reinforcing literature that makes you think that you're being victimised at school. and adesso . there are school. and adesso. there are bad teachers, and parents do have to occasionally come in and have to occasionally come in and have words and stand up for their kids. but but i think we're seeing this sort of there are ways of doing it. >> absolutely. there are ways of doing it, emma, this links somewhat, doesn't it? free school meals, tell us a bit more about this. >> so, there is an awful lot of bureaucracy apparently that parents on universal credit have to go through in to order get the free school meals, so what they're calling for is for this to be automatic. if you're on universal credit, your children get free school meals as part of the package of support that you get on universal credit, it seems like a no brainer to me. i

mean, we're constantly complaining that there's too much bureaucracy, too much administration, and if you just make that automatic, that would seem like a sensible move , you seem like a sensible move, you know, these these kids are entitled to it. it's just that they're not getting it because they're not getting it because the applying for it is so hard , the applying for it is so hard, well, there you go. well, if that's the case, then . no, it that's the case, then. no, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, does it? i guess i hate to say it. there will be concern about cost. you know, i don't know who funds it. does it have to come out of the school budget? does it come out of their local education authority budget or what? >> well, most schools aren't now connected to local authorities because they are academies. >> oh heck yeah, i forgot about that. >> so yeah, it's always fascinates me how obsessed we are with the national curriculum, which is not actually applicable to academies. so isn't it? no no, they lots of them do take it up, but they don't have to, so you know, we constantly go on and on about what's in or not in the national curriculum, whereas

actually we need to be thinking actually we need to be thinking a lot more about what's being taughtin a lot more about what's being taught in schools that it doesn't apply to, and the same is true of free school meals, you know, we need to make sure that this is happening across the piece, whether it's a local authority run school or whether it's an academy. and that's why i think universal credit being the automatic qualifier would make sense . make sense. >> if you would think so, wouldn't you? >> yeah. you'd think if you've done the expansive discussion of universal credit and you've been signed off for that, that free meals would be part of that . but meals would be part of that. but the bureaucracy is very, very difficult. obviously there's language issues and i think there's questions about, you know, whether or not people should be able to speak english and etc, but i think but also universal credit is so open to fraud, isn't it ? we universal credit is so open to fraud, isn't it? we had that case in north london where that one family had taken £54 million in fraudulent universal credit. >> yeah, well yeah. well we that's, that's our responsibility or government responsibility or government responsibility to, to make sure it's being dished out properly. but also. yeah. no just stop you

now andy. oh, you're so right. chatty cathy this morning. >> thank you. thank you very much indeed. >> we'll see you later. >> we'll see you later. >> let's have a look at the weather with catherine. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello, and welcome to your gb news forecast, brought to you by the met office. a mixed picture on sunday. sunny spells in the south. cloudier in the north. but where we do see the sunshine it is going to be feeling rather warm. so the best of the sunshine is parts of northern wales, central england and also down towards the south—east of england. cloudier skies persisting across northern ireland, much of scotland, with some outbreaks of rain here. but in the south—west we have got a weather system and that's bringing some more outbreaks of showery outbreaks of rain pushing its way northwards. but where we do see the sunshine, temperatures are going to be on the rise. we're going to see highs of around 18 or possibly up to 20 degrees in the southeast through the rest of

respect. yeah. whoever's in charge. yeah. >> and trusting the teacher and the job they're doing . because the job they're doing. because it's a tough one, daniel has beenin it's a tough one, daniel has been in touch saying morning . been in touch saying morning. ian's love seeing you too on gb. happy orthodox easter to those celebrating today . of course. celebrating today. of course. >> orthodox easter. >> orthodox easter. >> i didn't realise it was if you're greek orthodox, you are celebrating easter today and you get the red eggs, don't you? >> and you do. >> and you do. >> you knock them together? >> you knock them together? >> i'm not aware of that in russian orthodox as well on that as just greek, i'm going to say, i don't know. >> hang on, i don't know much about the sort of orthodox church . church. >> yes it is. »- >> yes it is. >> well done. >> well done. >> thank you. yeah. >> thank you. yeah. >> very good, yeah. orthodox russians and greeks are celebrating easter this weekend, so happy easter if you're celebrating. >> yes. oh, now, janet mcgrady's beenin >> yes. oh, now, janet mcgrady's been in touch on consumer spending. she says people aren't spending. she says people aren't spending . my friends and myself spending. my friends and myself are between 75 and 80. we like . are between 75 and 80. we like. oh, there you go. after your own heart. she likes clothes , shoes heart. she likes clothes, shoes and sandals. yeah. we can't see

anything that we like . we go out anything that we like. we go out shopping, come back with nothing . not everyone wants want dresses that go out in tears as. oh, look at the style. yeah. what would you call that ? what would you call that? >> a tear dress. yeah, a tear dress or ted maxi or something. i know what you mean, janet. i don't want to encourage you, but onune don't want to encourage you, but online shopping is way forward. if you can't find anything on the high street, you just type in what you want and it's. you can find it. but it's a dangerous game. it is. it's too to easy find it. >> the trouble is, i never know about the quality with that sort of thing. >> and that's the thing you can't try on high street is best. i think. i like to feel fabncs best. i think. i like to feel fabrics and things and try on. yeah but no, if you are struggling online is the way to go. if you want something in particular and there's also a message here from max socials and he is talking about the west midlands results in the mayoral election there. andy street perhaps the shock result of the weekend actually losing to laboun weekend actually losing to labour. he says i've met andy street , he's a sharp

labour. he says i've met andy street, he's a sharp minded businessman. he ran john lewis, he knows how to balance economies with the needs for services . so economies with the needs for services. so many economies with the needs for services . so many people are services. so many people are really shocked. he was a popular figure there, wasn't he? >> yeah, but the why that's such bad news for the prime minister is that he was a very popular figure, and it was a very close run thing and say, even though i haven't seen the speech , but haven't seen the speech, but even the person, the labour candidate who's beaten him was, was very, very nice to him. in his speech . but it just shows his speech. but it just shows that there is a general overwhelming, you know, feeling either towards labour against the conservatives, depending on how you view it, which shows they're on the ascendancy and properly on the ascendancy . properly on the ascendancy. yeah, the same with london actually. whereas all this talk about it being tight and then what happens ? sadiq khan what happens? sadiq khan actually increases his majority . actually increases his majority. it's hard for that to be ignored. now it's going to be interesting to see what number 10 actually does about it all. yeah. >> and where do you move forward

and how do you unite the party behind that and getting them geared up for a general election? it's going to be very difficult, very, very challenging. jane mardell on orthodox easter that we are discussing i'm in crete working on a happy easter sunday. there were loads of fireworks at midnight last night. oh, i imagine that was beautiful in crete. i hope you're having a lovely time, jane. >> yeah , i'm actually, we could >> yeah, i'm actually, we could do with a holiday. >> i know, i'm just saying. >> i know, i'm just saying. >> i'm just dropping. i'm just dropping that in this time, though . wasn't the weather though. wasn't the weather lovely yesterday? and apparently going to be nice today as well? i thought someone told us recently it was going to be a really horrible bank holiday weekend. >> yes, that turned out and it turned out to be really lovely, though apparently maybe a bit wet tomorrow. >> that's happening quite often at the moment for us. i feel like we just have to believe the opposite . we're told it's going opposite. we're told it's going to rain and then it's lovely weekend and we're also told a few weekends ago it's going to be lovely and sunny and hailed for three days straight. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> anyway, well, it's a tough job forecasting things. >> well it is, that's true. and

i didn't see any of it yesterday. i was asleep so . yesterday. i was asleep so. >> yeah. oh. >> yeah. oh. >> did you see your lovely garden a little bit. >> we're going, we're going to have a fire pit tonight. >> or are you like the love island villa? sit around the fire pit. >> i've never seen that. >> i've never seen that. >> oh well. so i don't know. >> oh well. so i don't know. >> the reference is lost on you, but it is. they have a fire pit that they sit around and you have one as well. all right. >> there you go, right. let's talk politics. because it's been a miserable weekend for the prime minister no two ways about it. whatever they say at number 10, it's been a disaster. sadiq khan won his third term as london mayor yesterday afternoon i >> -- >> oh, it's londoners who inspire me every day to continue our mission of building a fairer , safer and greener london and in what i hope will be a year of great change, a future labour government led by keir starmer . government led by keir starmer. working with us in city hall will mean we can go much further

and accomplish so much more . and accomplish so much more. >> well, just a few hours later, conservative andy street lost the west midlands mayoralty , the west midlands mayoralty, which he had been expected to retain to labour's richard parker by 1508 votes. >> yeah, very tight indeed. >> yeah, very tight indeed. >> let's talk to former labour mp steve pound. i didn't i'll be honest, i hadn't realised you'd left. stephen. >> oh, stephen. what? you've never left, have you, yeah. no, no i did. i sloped off, just after the last election. did you really into the shadows ? really into the shadows? >> oh, well, possibly. possibly for the best. stephen look, what do you. what do you make of it? >> judy? enough. that's what the prime minister said. >> do you wish you were still in now that labour seems to be on the ascendancy? >> no, not really, labour isn't. so i'm still, you know, part of the labour party. i'm still quite happy to, to enjoy that. but i'm quite glad i'm not in that snake pit of the commons at the moment where people are doing things that, you know, if i had any hair, it would be curling. when i see what mps are

up to at the present time. but the interesting thing about the moment is that, the results last night, which you quite rightly said were pretty brilliant for laboun said were pretty brilliant for labour, have actually caused absolute panic in labour hq, because everybody is now saying, oh my lord, it's the complacency word. we're absolutely terrified that people are going to walk around saying, oh, labour are going to win. we don't have to worry about this. that and the other. and you know, the famous analogy, i think it was one of yours about, you know, at this time, you know, politicians are like people carrying a ming vase across a polished floor while they're wearing socks. you're just terrified you're going to drop it. you see, labour has a great tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. we've done it brilliantly over so many times. and the real fear at the moment, the absolute gut wrenching panic, is that we'll look at those results and think job done, because the job is done. no way. yeah of course the other. finally, the other interesting thing about yesterday's results is no scotland. no. that would have been much, much more interesting because scotland is going to be a key northern ireland to a certain extent. but not nearly so much. i'd love to have seen

what the voting would have been like had we had votes in scotland. i think you would have . stephen. so? so what do you think the conversations are being had? stephen in labour hq what do you think the best stance is now for the labour party? i mean, as you say, complacency is dangerous at this stage of the game. but is their best strength right now that they are just simply not the tories? >> well, there's a certain amount of that. i mean , amount of that. i mean, famously, you know, people say, you know, politicians don't win elections , the other lot lose elections, the other lot lose them. there's a certain extent of that, which is why i think you'll now see. look, here's the conundrum, everybody says, where's your policy? you know, let's let's see them on the table . let's see what we're table. let's see what we're going to vote for. but the reality is you don't actually say what you're going to do until pretty close to the election. however, now a days in this sort of retail politics world where people actually want to see the menu before they order the meal, the labour party is having to actually flesh out its policies, particularly the reverse, onto public ownership of utilities like like water, now that those are real clear blue water between us and the

conservatives and i think a lot of people in the labour party would have been quite happy to say, look, we'll show you our policies on the evening before the election. but in reality, we can't now do that because people will say, look, you are in effect, a government in waiting. let's see what you're going to put on the table. so that's what will be everybody will be thinking about at the moment in, labour party hq. they'll also be thinking, you know, i wonder, wonder whether this is this issue that appeared in rochdale, in oldham and few of the other places where we seem to have lost that connection with a large body of voters. how significant is that? will that survive? you know, will the galloway effect actually continue to inject poison into the body politic ? there's a lot the body politic? there's a lot of questions to be asked. but and also why did why did ben houchen do so well in the tees valley , even admittedly, the valley, even admittedly, the only person on the platform not wearing a party colour rosette and distance himself a long, long way from the conservatives. but why did he do so well there? because that is a very interesting one. the personality

of politics. and is that an issue for the future? so there's a lot to mull over, but there's also a fair bit of sleep to be caught up on because believe you me, most of my colleagues haven't had any kip for a few or three. few days now. >> yeah, well, i'll tell you what, stephen. a lot of people who who get in touch with us here, often, often sort of raised the question about, well, it's one thing to sort of say, yeah, let's vote for keir starmer. let's vote for what we effectively see on the frontbench. but what's happening behind the scenes , what's going behind the scenes, what's going on with momentum, and that that very left wing part of the party and people are worried that, you know, if keir starmer gets into number 10, suddenly there's going to be this momentum resurgence. so in that sense, we don't really know what we'd be getting from stephen, stephen, stephen, you know, so much better than that. >> i mean, you know, you've you've been around for a bit for one so young, you know, that's absolutely not true. if there's one thing keir has absolutely defined himself on is that he is

the person who actually managed to kick momentum off the national executive committee out of any positions of power. they are , as you know, they are are, as you know, they are leeches on the body politic. they have no policies except opposition and as sort of, you know, rather, sort of south american, nicaraguan corbyn ite, you know, cuban dream that look, every , every day, what's the every, every day, what's the remnants of momentum are putting stuff out saying, oh, this is their calling keir starmer, keith. and they're saying he's got no policies. he's a horrible person. well you know, i'm quite happy with that because momentum actually caused huge amounts of problems to the labour party. keir starmer is just about as anti momentum as you can get. famously people say you know the labour party spends more time with internal fights and fighting the tories. well i think the internal fight has been won. if you look at the composition of the leadership of the labour party now, there are no momentum figures in it. and to suggest that this is the old, remember that horrible thing about david steel and david owen , about one was in the other's pocket. and, you know, as soon as the election's over, one pops up. well, believe you me, you know, a bunch of student

politicians wearing keffiyehs and waving palestinian flags aren't going to suddenly emerge out of the shadows and say, you know, we are now the secret labour frontbench, stephen, that ain't going to happen. >> stephen, whilst we've got you, you just want to. we are running out of time. but i did want to ask you about the shock results in the west midlands. perhaps the most shocking result of the weekend. actually, andy street being unseated. he was a very popular, character there, seen as the golden boy for the tories in the west midlands. but the fact that he's been unseated . and does that suggest that the tories are facing a much greater challenge than than first thought? >> you're right to concentrate on this. a couple of very interesting things about this, basically, richard parker was extremely gracious in his comments. i think it's interesting how sadiq, in his acceptance speech, didn't actually you know, congratulate the other people who had stood which is and i think obviously he's in a hurry one thing and another. but richard parker recognised that a great deal of the work that andy street had done and andy street was another

non—politician politician. you know, he comes from john lewis, you know, he's very friendly with certain labour, with tory politicians. but, you know, he was a man who actually placed himself outside the tory party. he also did a great deal of good work. but the key thing about andy street and richard parker is the muslim vote in birmingham and the chaos and the crisis, the financial crisis in birmingham city council. most of us thought, in all honesty, it would be very , very difficult to would be very, very difficult to sell labour in the west midlands on the doorstep . most of us on the doorstep. most of us thought that with the very, very high concentration of muslim voters, it was going to be pretty difficult to win. we have won, which means that the actual strength, the bedrock of labour vote, is a lot stronger than we thought it was. you know, that rather cheers me up on this gorgeous sunny sunday morning. >> stephen, as always, it's good to see you. >> and he's got his gb news mug. >> and he's got his gb news mug. >> very good. thanks, stephen. >> very good. thanks, stephen. >> cheers . >> cheers. >> cheers. >> yeah, it were interesting, interesting. and as we often say, it's when you get politicians who are out of politics then and you can get a

real sort of sense of what they actually think, rather than having to toe the party line. it's good. >> a very interesting the best analysis isn't it? >> someone who's been there, done that, got the t shirt and can now look at it from the outside. >> yeah. interesting interesting whether you agree with him or not let us know. gb news. com slash your say now at 7:16. >> let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. well the family of daniel anjorin say they're devastated after he was killed walking to school in london on tuesday. >> he was described as loving and precious . as we know he was and precious. as we know he was attacked by a man with a sword in hainault. four other people were also injured . were also injured. >> more than 20 dogs have been seized after police raided a suspected illegal xl bully breeding farm in sheffield. 16 of the animals are being looked after in police kennels after they were discovered. in what officers are describing as appalling conditions. six other

dogs were so unwell they had to be put to sleep . the breed was be put to sleep. the breed was added to the banned list, but campaigners argue that the ban is unlawful and irrational. >> and here's one to make you squirm. if you've seen snakes on a plane, well, it almost became a plane, well, it almost became a reality with these little ones anyway. this after a man tried to board a flight with two snakes in his underpants , he was snakes in his underpants, he was stopped, thankfully, at security in miami, and the little fellas have been handed over to experts max social says thanks to shout out stephen and ellie enjoy the bank holiday! i'm working tomorrow too. there's no rest for the wonderful, no rest for the wonderful. >> i like that one. >> i like that one. >> well, we'll use that again. >> well, we'll use that again. >> very good. if only it were true. >> all right, let's see what the weather is going to do for us

the closing time if listening or watching on demand. good luck . watching on demand. good luck. >> yes, good luck indeed. >> yes, good luck indeed. >> oh yes. now still to come for you. we're looking at special needs schools apparently in crisis. we'll find out more in just

- i 7:24. now we're being warned of a crisis in special needs education for children in england. >> yes, it's being blamed on shortages and funding cuts in both mainstream and special schools. >> well, a survey of 1000 school leaders by the national association of head teachers showed that 78% said they'd cut back on support staff like teaching assistants within the last three years, 84% plan to do so by 2027. >> well, bobby seagull is a

teacher and broadcaster and he joins us now. good to see you this morning, bobby. and what's going on here. >> yeah. so again, what the sort of facts behind this are that per pupil funding for special needs children within special schools has been £10,000 since 2013. so that's about when i joined the teaching profession in 2014. and it's been frozen for the last decade, but on the other side , we've seen students other side, we've seen students with something known as fhc p's. these are education, health and care plans gone up . so if you've care plans gone up. so if you've got, per pupil funding, frozen , got, per pupil funding, frozen, but, the number of students rising. so we're finding actually the overall situation is becoming untenable and what the impact is, is that schools, as you said, are reducing the number of teaching assistants or they're freezing or reducing their hours and teaching assistants. for my experience in schools, they really provide such support for these special needs students because special needs students because special needs students, again, their complex needs, these , teaching complex needs, these, teaching assistants, they understand

them. they work with them really closely . and as a classroom closely. and as a classroom teacher, these people, these tas are critical to the development of these. send students. and what it means is that schools are unable to keep children and staff safe . and what i feel is staff safe. and what i feel is there's almost a symptom of there's almost a symptom of there's under—resourced services and health, social services and schools are being sort of asked to take on the burden of this. and again, i always think this is such a tragedy because these young people are the most vulnerable in our society. >> so i don't get why do you say you can't keep people , pupils you can't keep people, pupils and teachers safe? what's the safety issue. >> yeah, some of these students again because they're complex needs. they sometimes again i've seen some my schools i teach at they sometimes will try and hit teachers again. it's not because they're, you know, badly intentioned, but they they find it hard to keep their hands in the same place. so they all run around the school, and for that

to be sort of kept managed and these children to be educated, you need these staff, these individual tas to keep them in place and support them. so there is a safety issue as well as a working teacher, bobby, just how vital are tas in the classroom to you ? i think again, the they to you? i think again, the they are massively underrated. again everyone talks about again as a teacher. obviously teachers are incredibly important . we are incredibly important. we are trained to provide the education, for our students intellectually, but the teaching assistants they provide, i would say almost like a pastoral role and support because imagine i've got again, i'm trying to think i've got a class of 30 students and i've got a couple of students with, smd. so special educational needs and disabilities, if they're in the class and we're trying to keep them integrated as much as we can within the mainstream environment, these tas will sit beside the students and help monitor them. so if i'm teaching a lesson, let's say on pythagoras, and the rest of the class are getting on these two students, maybe because they've got behavioural issues, they need an additional support to look after them and if they

haven't, then i'm spending my time looking at one the student and therefore neglecting the needs of the rest of the class. >> but actually, i mean, it's a it's a different topic, but it has been raised as a real concern that what you're seeing in a lot of mainstream schools now is teachers, jobs are ineffectively, effectively being filled by teaching assistants, which is a real concern because they don't have they might have a tremendous skill. it might be a tremendous skill. it might be a very important job in its own right. but they're not teachers . right. but they're not teachers. >> yes, you're completely right, stephen. and again, i've seen this even in the staff room when ispeak this even in the staff room when i speak to the teaching assistants, sometimes they'll say to me, oh, mrs. seagull, god, they ask me to teach pythagoras and trigonometry , and pythagoras and trigonometry, and i. and they're not maths teachers. so there is a issue where sometimes schools put the burden on these teaching assistants to deliver these lessons when that's not their specialism and sort of the wider point i think is and again, i know about funding, it's tight, but politics is all about choices. and there's unlimited ones, whether there's healthcare, transport, legal, they're all saying over the last

ten, 15 years we need money. but what i feel is if and this is actually the head of the nhc, which is a the sort of, association of head teachers, the general secretary has said that schools are being treated like sidelines compared to the headune like sidelines compared to the headline grabbing issues, like whether it's immigration or the polarised views on trans rights or removing the right to protest . and also there's all important. but schools are almost like, here's a little side issue, but i think parents voters are noticing that schools are being neglected. and of course, money is always , always course, money is always, always going to be tight. but i think in terms of like a bigger morality point, how society treats its most vulnerable, whether it's this children , the whether it's this children, the ill or elderly, i think is a measure of our humanity and i think we're undermining our humanity by not looking after these most vulnerable children. >> okay, bobby seagull good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. thank you. thank you. >> that's an interesting point. i mean , schools should be a i mean, schools should be a priority. teaching should be a sort of priority job, and parents should be looking in the papers who've been who are

misbehaving , mistreating misbehaving, mistreating teachers. teachers need to be really reprimanded. yeah. you know, we need to start bringing that respect back into schools and respect for the people doing the job. it's a hard job. >> has respect been lost for that profession ? that profession? >> i think so maybe it has. >> i think so maybe it has. >> i think it's been lost for a lot of things. respect for the police has gone out the window . police has gone out the window. nurses respect for the elderly. yeah that's true i think. i think that's all part of it as well. i mean, heck, you always used to really look up to your elders and that just seems to have seems to have gone. >> maybe we're just losing respect in society, losing respect in society, losing respect for each other. that's where it's going . where it's going. >> it's not healthy, but i don't i don't know how you get it back. >> no, i don't know. >> no, i don't know. >> but teachers do have it tough. they do. they have a lot tough. they do. they have a lot to deal with. i've got friends that are teachers now, and they're saying half their work they're saying half their work they feel is social work. yeah having to deal with with the issues in the classroom as well as trying to teach young minds. it's very difficult. do get in touch with your thoughts on that

story. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> all right. aiden's going to be here in just a minute with all your sport. morning, sir. >> good morning. as well as all the action from the premier league and the championship, we'll be hearing about a hollywood superstar who's bought a stake in leeds united. more after the .

break. >> welcome back to breakfast. aidan magee is with us. we're talking about the sport and lots of other things, aren't we this morning? shall we start with the title race? >> a wide ranging discussion? >> a wide ranging discussion? >> yes. >> yes. >> wide ranging indeed. >> wide ranging indeed. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the title race. that's wide ranging as well. i mean. well, not wide ranging as it was a few weeks ago. we had liverpool involved, didn't he. now we think it's going to be down to manchester city and arsenal. there aren't really any other contenders. arsenal first out of the blocks yesterday, dispatching bournemouth at the emirates quite comfortably by three goals to nil. but then manchester city stepped into gean manchester city stepped into gear. five one winners over wolverhampton wanderers . now

wolverhampton wanderers. now declan rice, the arsenal midfielder, sort of said after that after he heard that that they need a miracle really ? oh they need a miracle really? oh really to win it. >> i don't necessarily think they got a game in hand. >> city have got a game in hand. so although they're second now. erling haaland burst into form yesterday, he's not probably been as good this season as he was as he was this time last yeah was as he was this time last year. nonetheless, he's ahead in the golden boot race. he's scored 25 league goals, four goals yesterday. i'll tell you something that was interesting was that a few weeks ago? roy keane is great. the great family nemesis never short of an opinion, is he? he told him the family nemesis because erling haaland's erling haaland's father, alf—inge haaland, was signed as nottingham forest replacement for roy keane when he went for manchester united. oh, a two year. four years later, haaland moved to lee. haaland's father had moved to leeds. that's why erling haaland was born in leeds, because his father was playing there at the time. back in the late 90s, and roy keane suffered an almost career ending injury in september 97th. in a in a tackle with alf—inge haaland . i think

with alf—inge haaland. i think haaland stood over him and said get up and shouted a stuff at him. yeah, stuff at him. yeah, let's put it that way. four years later, roy keane had had his name and his little black book and he took some horrific revenge. he revenge . he, he went revenge. he revenge. he, he went in knee high in a fixture. by this time, haaland was on playing was was playing for manchester city. and so there has been a family feud ever since. he's not often commented on that that regularly. roy keane, but he said that eventually an opinion a couple of weeks ago, he said outside the box he plays like a league two player. he's only in the box when it comes alive. i thought it was fair criticism, but one of the interviewers yesterday put that to erling haaland yesterday and he said, quite bluntly and quite coldly, he said that's okay. i don't care about that, man. but it's a family thing. >> honestly. these sort of long revenge things, family feuds and all that. what's the point? >> well, if roy keane had a four year black book, i mean, erling haaland's black book goes back to 2001. so that's a hell of a black book, isn't it? yeah. you know, but anyway, that's what it was about. city chasing down arsenal though. arsenal doing their bits to stay ahead. four

goals yesterday for haaland. they're looking in good. nick has to be said talking about leeds. >> there's a story on the front of the sun on sunday. >> really fun actually. and it's true as well. it's absolutely true. true. leeds missed out on promotion yesterday and automatic promotion because ipswich won and i could see you wearing ipswich colours today. for our viewers we have, we have all purpose. we do have a few ipswich viewers actually. none of them have contacted me this morning on social media. so hello to all of those. but they commented on your on your colours as well. >> we did it. >> we did it. >> we did it. >> we did it for you. it was intentional. >> they're known as the tractor boys. so they'll be they'll be bringing some agricultural football to the premier league next season. but leeds missed out yesterday. now the story on the front of the sun on sunday captivated me because this is the latest in a in a flurry of hollywood interest in english football clubs. will ferrell has bought into the holding company that owns leeds united, which means automatically gains a stake in the club. now, leeds united has long been i mean, it's been in the premier league recently, but it's a very big club. it's a very big city as anybody from the north of england can attest. but they're one of the biggest one club

cities in the whole of europe, bigger than newcastle, all probably on a par with someone like marseille down in the south of france there. so i can understand from a commercial point of view why he's got in there. but they're in the playoffs now, so they have a chance to get in the premier league. still though, they're not in good condition because they won, so they lost rather two one at home to southampton yesterday and four nil at qpr last week. you don't want to be going into that lottery of the play going into that lottery of the play offs in bad form. you don't. you want to be going into it on as good as fettle as possible. and they missed a big chance yesterday, even though ipswich won and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. but he's bought into it. will ferrell he's been touring around football clubs recently having a look around. he's met david beckham, he's met ryan reynolds, who you mentioned earlier for wrexham fame. there's no plans for a fly on the wall documentary, but apparently he's now a leeds fan and he's, he would be now. yeah, but he has no choice. >> he's got a vested interest. >> he's got a vested interest. >> does he put in do you know? no. >> he's worth 127 million, according to the forbes forbes most recent list. like you similar, similar. you're about five obe a&e money. so we don't know how much he's put in. but you know what? it could be worth a lot more if leeds were to go

up to the premier league, it automatically becomes worth more because a franchise in the premier league, i hate that word. franchise is a very americanised term that's entered football in the last few years, but if the team or the club gets into the premier league, it automatically becomes worth a hell of a lot more because you've got the bloating of the tv deal, which is worth. >> and then you'd be selling it again. selling his stake? >> possibly. yeah possibly. we don't know. >> right? we're out of time. >> right? we're out of time. >> i'm sorry . aiden. no, but >> i'm sorry. aiden. no, but you'll be back. >> we'll continue those wide ranging discussions. >> we will. >> we will. >> i don't know if we dare . >> i don't know if we dare. they're definitely not for broadcast. >> no . comes outwith. yes >> no. comes outwith. yes >> no. comes outwith. yes >> i mean, i'm shocked. i know should we go to a break? >> probably for the best. when we return , aiden will be gone. we return, aiden will be gone. and we'll be joined by andy jones and emma burnell instead to go through the papers. see you .

soon. >> 743. let's have a look at some of the newspapers for you this morning. and the sunday mirror leads with prince andrew's crumbling royal lodge. it's the one he's desperate to stay in by the way, the king wanted to evict him, at the mail on sunday. leads with the king receiving a major boost in pubuc receiving a major boost in public confidence as new poll shows that brits think he's doing a great job. >> the observer has keir starmer's call on rishi sunak to hold a general election without delay. >> the sunday telegraph leads with labour winning the mayoral elections in the west midlands and london. >> sunday times has middle england boosting keir starmer's hopes of getting the keys to number 10. >> well, joining us to go through the papers this morning is emma burnell and andy jones. good to see you both. this morning emma. let's start with you and boris johnson back in the corridors of power. but not like we think. >> no, boris johnson like we think. >> no, borisjohnson has like we think. >> no, boris johnson has agreed to front an advert for paddy power during the euros, and

paddy power are known for their slightly edgy advertising, boris johnson is known for being slightly edgy, so in some ways it's quite a good partnership, but it just feels a little tacky to have the former prime minister, who, by the way, was was instrumental in trying to remove gambling companies from football shirts , advertising football shirts, advertising gambling during the euros. it's just, you know, you were once in charge of the country, mate. have some dignity, raise the money. >> so. >> so. >> well, this is it. but, you know, surely . i mean, he earns know, surely. i mean, he earns so much on the speaking circuit. i think there was a report the earn 1.8 million for six speeches. he doesn't have to do this. >> well , i bet this. >> well, i bet you it's very lucrative. i'm sure it is . i lucrative. i'm sure it is. i mean, shelling out. >> i'm sure there are limits, aren't there? i mean , how much aren't there? i mean, how much money should it for take him to be satisfied? >> yeah. james heale. the spectator friend of the show was

saying that boris has earned £8 million since he left his role as prime minister and again, how much is money? enough i know he's got a lot of, considerations with his family network and things he has to pay for. but again, anybody knows that you you don't damage your own brand. i know you might say he's got no brand left, but you have the prestige of prime minister on your cv. have the prestige of prime minister on your cv . you at minister on your cv. you at least want to do things that have a vague level of prestige. and this paddy power advert, as much as i like a bet, it's not. it's going to be a very silly, ridiculous , attention seeking ridiculous, attention seeking advert. it's not going to cast him in a particularly professional or light of integrity. and of course he wanted to ban naming rights on the fa cup. he wanted to remove, betting sponsorship from football shirts. as you were saying, this was one of his campaigning issues. and yet now he's out of office. he's like, yeah, give me some of that money that i didn't want. those football clubs, football teams to have. >> and there are lots of tories who are saying, bring back boris, we need boris back. and the more he does things like this, the further away he seems

from someone who could be taken seriously again as a politician. well, let's know what you think. >> yeah, andy, let's have a look at the mail on sunday, shall we? the front page at the king receiving a major vote of confidence from the british public. >> yeah. i always think the term vote of confidence. i don't know if it's because i've watched too much football. it sounds like a football manager is about to be sacked. but, our king is very much in, in prestige with his , much in, in prestige with his, his subjects, at 20, only 25% of the uk want want a republic . the uk want want a republic. this is a survey done by the mail on sunday to mark a year since the coronation. obviously, he's had a very turbulent time. obviously, the death of his mother, the queen, and also his own health scares and health scares within his family, the most popular royals were william and kate, who have topped the poll with the most popular support . and prince is still support. and prince is still incredibly 1 in 8 still support prince andrew. 1 in 8. i think

that's incredibly high, really ? that's incredibly high, really? >> yeah, i find that quite interesting because today is , interesting because today is, national republic day. >> is it ? >> is it? >> is it? >> it's the first ever national repubuc >> it's the first ever national republic day . republic day. >> i know that, i don't know republican. >> i don't know that it's going to take off. look, they're having a big rally in trafalgar square. get yourself down there today. >> i'm on my way. i'm sort of. >> there'll be. there'll be least 20 or 30, at least. >> yeah. no, look, i am part of that 1 in 4, but >> yeah. no, look, i am part of that1 in 4, but i'm a realistic that 1 in 4, but i'm a realistic part of that 1 in 4. if you're part of that 1 in 4. if you're part of that 1 in 4. if you're part of 1 in 4 and you're a democrat, you know that you ain't going to win the argument yet. look, i don't think charles has done anything wrong since he's been king, you know, he hasn't messed up in any spectacular way. there were concerns, given that he had been very outspoken whilst being prince of wales for so long that he might interfere in the politics of the nation, which is not a good thing for our , not a good thing for our, constitutional monarch. yes, but very much a sort of decorative constitutional monarch rather than an actual political actor.

but he hasn't done that to be fair. he's been completely, you know, straight faced during things like the king's speech and he's had health issues. and i think , you know, let's face i think, you know, let's face it, the british public are reasonably generous, reasonably nice people who aren't going to kick a man when he's down. yeah and even i as a, you know, someone who doesn't believe that we should have a constitutional monarchy, have nothing big to criticise him on. >> yeah. even even the things that he was previously outspoken about were things to do with the natural world protecting our environment, protecting our heritage, and also protecting the union . these aren't the union. these aren't necessarily i know that there are people who are against the union, but i don't think he was ever particularly foaming at the mouth about anything. these were things that were general concerns for the general public, but it's the second, the second least popular royal in the mail on sunday survey and of course it is a mail survey was meghan markle, i don't really think of her as being a royal andrzej duda really? >> well, they've sort of retired from being royals, haven't they? they don't get royal money or any anything anymore.

>> they're making jam these days. >> yeah, making jam people that important humanitarian mission that they left to take up making jam and podcasts. yeah. well there you go. >> emma, can we have a look at this? because it's always the number of politicians i've talked to recently. and you and ihave talked to recently. and you and i have to say, i know a lot of you watching and listening because you get in touch. the ones you get in touch seem to like reform a lot . and i've said like reform a lot. and i've said to a lot of reform people, isn't it the middle ground you've got to go for? and they said, no , to go for? and they said, no, it's shifting, it's all changing. and certainly there is a shift to the right for those people who are who are backing reform . but the sunday times, reform. but the sunday times, looking at middle england, if you like, and how that is affecting the current race for number 10. yeah, absolutely , i number 10. yeah, absolutely, i think labour have done something rather clever, which is redistribute where their vote sits, in 2017 when labour did better than expected and in

2019, when labour fell back considerably, they were piling up votes in safe labour seats in inner cities. so they got quite high levels of votes , but they high levels of votes, but they just weren't efficiently distributed. what we've seen in these local elections is that these local elections is that the labour vote has been much more efficiently distributed across the country and across those middle england constituencies, where they need to win. and i think what you're seeing, yes , there is a reform seeing, yes, there is a reform problem for the tories because they do eat into their vote. but they do eat into their vote. but the more that the tories move towards trying to win those reform votes back, the more they move away from those middle england voters who have been traditionally soft tories happy to vote conservative when the conservatives were seeming reasonable. and the more unreasonable they seem to those voters, the more that they are losing where the public actually is. >> i mean, is.— >> i mean, it's is. >> i mean, it's swing it . it's >> i mean, it's swing it. it's the floating voters. exactly. >> those are the people who

decide elections. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and far too many of these groups that they we had the mondeo man didn't we, in tesco mum and all these sort of things. unfortunately far too many. these identities, these cliched identities are painted on huge parts of britain by focus groups and think tanks that are created in london. and then you sort of aiming at these people without ever meeting them and talking to them. and there needs to be far more unifying policies. there are many things i don't care what political parties, what part of the political spectrum you want. there are many things in this country that we're in absolute agreement on that have to happen , and this government isn't seriously interested in attacking those and just segwaying into another story. we're talking about banning zombie knives, banning machetes. we have had a position where this government has been talking now for four different home secretaries about banning zombie knives, banning machetes. they still haven't done it. and as yvette cooper points out, the samurai sword that killed daniel anjorin that was the 14 year old was killed in hainault by that.

that guy that was running around the streets attacking me with the streets attacking me with the sword. that still isn't illegal. >> how are we? >> how are we? >> this is i mean, it's the most ridiculous thing i think i've seen, labour saying it's not a criticism of labour, but saying we will ban the sword that killed daniel. >> why is he banned already? >> why is he banned already? >> how is this sword not banned? >> how is this sword not banned? >> well, you're quite right, but it isn't . what? labour are it isn't. what? labour are offering amendments to the criminal justice bill that would ban these types of weapons. but you're quite right, andy. we've been going around and around the houses on this home secretary talking tough and acting weak for the secretaries. >> this is this is an entirely unifying policy . there isn't unifying policy. there isn't anyone out there that wouldn't say, oh, no, actually, we really need what we really need in our home is samurai swords. there is no there is no civic reason for any human being in our country to own a zombie knife. we had a case where a 16 year old was stabbed to death with a sword in the street in wolverhampton, in a case of mistaken identity by some yobbo that owned 25 of these blades, and he was 17

years old. he ordered them onune years old. he ordered them online and was able to go and collect them from the post office, all entirely legally. why on earth has our government been doing four separate home secretaries the moment these samurai sword incident happened in london earlier on in the week, i went online and you can buy all of these weapons, illegal weapons, perfectly legally. get them to deliver to your house kids bedrooms without parents even knowing. zombie knives , crossbows, swords, knives, crossbows, swords, ceremonial daggers . it's ceremonial daggers. it's absolutely chaotic. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and the more children that see these cases every weekend, we see these cases on friday nights and saturday nights. and the more children see these being carried, the more they carry them for their own protection. and so and so on it goes.i protection. and so and so on it goes. i can tell you something, 50,000 cases in the last year, which is a 60% increase, 50,000 cases involving crimes involving knives, 60% increase since 2016. our government has done absolutely nothing about banning these blades. it's a disgrace . these blades. it's a disgrace. >> anecdotally, i can tell you something very frightening. so

last year i was in a play and we needed a fake knife for the play. so i went on and one of those distributional sites that you can find online, and looked up fake knife for, you know, to, to, to buy the prop that i needed. ever since then, i've been being pushed real knives through that. yeah >> through that same service. >> through that same service. >> you might like this insane cane knife. and i'm like, no, that's absolutely not what i was looking for. >> yeah, it's actually being offered up to you. >> exactly the same. >> exactly the same. >> i'm glad you brought that up since i clicked on it. i'm also chased around the internet by these same knives and also offer me a stab proof vest. >> yeah, so that needs to be looked at, doesn't it? i mean, i think everybody across the board, whatever your unifying policy, get it done. >> what are they doing? yeah, it's enforcement as well isn't it. >> it's all about banning something, but it's enforcing that you can buy this from major retailers. >> i know, but we've got to we've got to leave it there. andy, i think you made your point very well, though, andy.

emma. thank you. we'll see you a little bit later on. >> thank you very much indeed. let's take a look at the weather now, shall we, with catherine. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news forecast, brought to you by the met office. a mixed picture on sunday. sunny spells in the south. cloudier in the north. but where we do see the sunshine it is going to be feeling rather warm. so the best of the sunshine is parts of northern wales, central england and also down towards the south—east of england . cloudier skies england. cloudier skies persisting across northern ireland, much of scotland with some outbreaks of rain here but in the south—west we have got a weather system and that's bringing some more outbreaks of showery outbreaks of rain pushing its way northwards. but where we do see the sunshine, temperatures are going to be on the rise. we're going to see highs of around 18 or possibly up to 20 degrees in the southeast , but up to 20 degrees in the southeast, but through the rest of the afternoon and evening time, cloud generally moving its

way northward to parts of northern wales and also into the southeast of england, with some heavier outbreaks of rain pushing in here, cloudier conditions still remaining across northern ireland and parts of scotland still, with some showery outbreaks of rain across eastern parts. otherwise temperatures with a lot of cloud around, temperatures still staying a little bit up for the time of year. and then as we go through starting monday morning, cloudy picture for bank holiday monday across southeastern england with heavy outbreaks of rain here. some brighter spells are going to be mixed in with that, but many places are seeing outbreaks of rain or showers, but also some sunny spells. and where you do see the sunshine, it is going to be feeling warm with highs of 17 or 18 degrees. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on .

are building a fairer, safer and greener london and in what i hope will be a year of great change. a future labour government led by keir starmer, working with us in city hall, will mean we can go much further and accomplish so much more . and accomplish so much more. >> well, more misery for rishi sunakin >> well, more misery for rishi sunak in the west midlands is. andy street suffers a shock loss to labour in their mayoral race. >> it's been a catastrophic weekend for the conservatives, with the loss of andy street as salt in the wound. how long can rishi sunak now cling . on

rishi sunak now cling. on >> donald trump scheduled to return to court tomorrow for his hush money trial. we'll take a look ahead. >> the king's return to royal life as he takes on around 300 new patronages, including some that were close to his mother's heart . as prince harry prepares heart. as prince harry prepares to return to the uk . to return to the uk. >> and with bank holiday weekend upon us, is this the time that you could really grab a deal? >> ipswich are back in the big time after a 22 year absence at the expense of leeds, who miss out on automatic promotion. we'll be looking ahead also to the world snooker championship final and the miami grand prix. >> the mixed picture for the rest of the bank holiday weekend, with sunny spells for some, but also some outbreaks of rain and also some showers. i'll have all the details coming up sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm eddie costello, and this is breakfast on .

breakfast on. gb news. one from lee drake. >> oh, god. oh. lee's irregular. >> oh, god. oh. lee's irregular. >> he is saying. are you guys on tomorrow? tomorrow morning? because it's bank holiday. i hope so, yes we are, we are from 6 am. please do join us if you can, and gary parker has been in touch saying morning, can, and gary parker has been in touch saying morning , stephen touch saying morning, stephen and ellie. i believe scotland will be key at the next general election. the implosion of the snp will see labour increased from around 2 to 25 seats. this will mean the difference between a hung parliament and a small labour majority . labour majority. >> there you go. is a zoologist? >> there you go. is a zoologist? >> yeah. very good. >> yeah. very good. >> yeah. very good. >> yeah. well it's interesting, isn't it, because the collapse of the snp is not going to naturally lead votes to labour is it. to, to the tories. i beg your pardon. they are going to head. they are going to head to labour if they go anywhere. but perhaps john swinney when he's crowned, which looks like as a new first minister, maybe he'll

swing the snp support back up. i don't know . but it's interesting don't know. but it's interesting of course, because it's, it's that strange thing, obviously, that strange thing, obviously, that because we don't get parliamentary elections in holyrood till 2026, it's just all about those westminster seats in scotland rather than the holyrood seats. it gets very confusing. >> it's very confusing, but as stephen pound was saying a little bit earlier on, it would be very interesting if scotland was part of these results this weekend, do let us know what you think. gb news you'll say, well, if you're a tory supporter and then it's been a bit of a miserable weekend for you so far. >> sadiq khan. of course, yesterday won his third term as london mayor. perhaps not surprisingly, though, the gossip had been that it was actually very, very close. turned out that was not the case. >> it's londoners who inspire me every day to continue our mission of building a fairer , mission of building a fairer, safer and greener london and in

what i hope will be a year of great change a future labour government led by keir starmer . government led by keir starmer. working with us in city hall will mean we can go much further and accomplish so much more . and accomplish so much more. >> well, just a few hours later, conservative andy street lost the west midlands mayoralty, which he had been expected to retain to labour's richard parker by 1508 votes. >> let's talk to our political correspondent. olivia utley is time running out, olivia, for the prime minister to either go or call an election ? or call an election? >> well, it feels hard to downplay the importance of losing andy street in the west midlands . andy street is an midlands. andy street is an incredibly popular, hard working , experienced politician. everyone who knows him thinks that he's done a very, very good job in the west midlands and actually during his campaign, he pretty much wiped the conservative party from all of

his campaign literature. he was essentially almost running as an independent, but the very name conservative managed to make him lose in the west midlands last night, only by just over a thousand votes. it was very, very tight indeed. but that is a real, real morale blow for the conservatives. it was a miserable weekend in the local elections and the idea of hanging on to the tees valley and the west midlands was the only thing that were keeping the conservatives going. yes, they did manage to hang on to tees valley all with it, with a very reduced majority . but losing reduced majority. but losing andy street in the west midlands is, is a real massive blow. how long can rishi sunak cling on? well, that is the million dollar question as far as i'm reading it. there are a number of conservative mps who would like to see him gone, but they're not sure if it's worth moving. just yet. we are a few months away from a general election . there from a general election. there isn't anyone who would naturally step into his shoes. the only

real possibility is penny mordaunt, and looking at the polling at the moment, penny mordaunt looks quite likely to lose her seat at the next general election. and obviously it would be hugely, hugely embarrassing for the conservative party if they were to if their leader were to lose their seat of the prime minister, were to lose her seat at a general election. so most mps seem to be keeping their counsel for now. but it could get increasing difficult over the coming days and weeks. one aspect of these shattering local election defeats is that the conservative party is going to lose all sorts of volunteers, those all important people who go and knock on the doorsteps , go and knock on the doorsteps, go and knock on the doorsteps, go and knock on the doorsteps, go and deliver the pamphlets, etc. quite a lot, quite a lot of them are local councillors, and a lot of those councillors have now lost their seats and are feeling pretty disillusioned with the conservative party as a whole. i think it will be also be really interesting to see what andy street does next. he was furious with rishi sunak and the conservative government in westminster for cancelling hs2, and he almost decided to step aside as a conservative

candidate at that point. last night he delivered a very gracious resignation speech. but in the days to come, it could be that he turns on the prime minister and the conservative government and it might be at that moment that could be the straw that broke the camel's back. there are plenty of conservative mps who want rishi sunak gone, but i think they're going to need a push in that direction, whether it whether from street or from someone else. it feels like there is a camel with a very bad back, and there just needs to be one straw to break it. >> and olivia, should we talk about the situation in london because you were at city hall yesterday, weren't you, when sadiq khan got his third term as london mayor but we had a very strange briefing, didn't we, on kind of friday evening, saturday morning that actually that race was going to be very, very close between sadiq khan and the conservative candidate, susan hall. it turns out that that wasn't actually the case. >> no, i mean, it really wasn't very close at all. i sadiq khan won by ten points, which is,

pretty phenomenal, really. i mean, it was closer, perhaps , mean, it was closer, perhaps, than other contests in the rest of the country . but no, there of the country. but no, there was no chance at all that susan hall was going to win. the fact that sadiq khan is a bit less popular than the labour party as a whole, and the labour party as a whole, and the labour party as a whole, and the labour party as a whole is polling about 26 points ahead as whereas khan only won with ten points, suggests to some conservatives that maybe if they'd put up a better candidate in london, it is possible that maybe they could have won or at least given sadiq khan a real run for his money. susan hall's campaign was pretty gaffe prone. she's not a particularly experienced politician, and there are plenty of conservative activists who are now very, very annoyed that she was the one who was put up as the candidate. there are rumours that richard holden, the chairman of the conservative party might have to stand aside as oliver dowden, the former chair , did in 2022 after the chair, did in 2022 after the last set of bad local election results. so that rumour

absolutely turned into nothing at all. sadiq khan stormed to a pretty spectacular victory. i was there in city hall as he stood up for his victory speech and the dislike between him and susan hall was quite something to behold. there was a moment where he wouldn't even shake her hand. this was a pretty nasty campaign, very difficult campaign. and yes , sadiq khan campaign. and yes, sadiq khan has won it fair and square in the end. okay, olivia, thanks very much indeed. >> let's talk to former lib dem minister norman baker, who joins us now. what's your assessment, norman? >> well , excuse me, we expect me >> well, excuse me, we expect me to mention lib dems first, wouldn't you? because the bbc certainly haven't. the fact is, the lib dems came second in number of councils elected ahead of the conservatives and won 12 councils opposed to six for the conservatives and i think because labour didn't perform quite as well as they might have done, they did quite well. i think we're in line for a hung parliament and, people ought to be concentrating on that prospect now in terms of the in

terms of the other result, i mean, clearly andy street was a good mayor. he did a lot for the west midlands, ben houchen has done quite a lot for the north east, but any any suggestion that the conservatives can take comfort from them is misplaced because they were personal votes. they won despite the conservative party label, not because of it , so you conservative party label, not because of it, so you you mentioned a hung parliament and look, some, some of this the sort of forecasts and sort of indicate that but it doesn't include scotland . that's the include scotland. that's the that's going to be the problem for the lib dems, isn't it. who could potentially be the kingmakers? >> well, i mean, certainly it's a case that i think stephen pound said earlier on in the programme, that if the snp, collapsed, as they might do , collapsed, as they might do, then most of those seats would go to labour. but around the celtic fringes in the north, on the west, even in aberdeenshire, down in edinburgh , you know, a down in edinburgh, you know, a lot of the seats used to be lib dem seats and they could easily revert to lib dem. so it's not

simply a one way street. >> what do you make of what we saw in the west midlands? and perhaps the biggest shock result really of the weekend and andy street, losing his mayoralty there. >> well, i think it's as your reporter says , i mean, andy reporter says, i mean, andy street was a very competent mayor and he did a lot for the west midlands. and i think a lot of people would have voted for him because of his personality and his record, rather than simply because he was a conservative. i think the conservative. i think the conservative label will probably put them off and he was very angry. as has been reported over the cancellation of hs2, he's been working with andy burnham, the manchester mayor, to try to resurrect something. but i mean, the rug was pulled from under him by his own government and, i think he he'll be very upset about that. and he, you know, downing street lost the lost the mayoralty for him. that's the reality of it . reality of it. >> it has to be said it it now feels like we're on this unstoppable train, towards this general election and a result that most people are expecting, which is a labour victory, as you say, perhaps a perhaps a

hung parliament. is it ridiculous to keep saying from the labour perspective and indeed from ed davis's perspective? you know, we've got to have the election now, because as much as we might want to sort of get it out of the way and they want to get on with it, it's the last thing any prime minister in this position would do, isn't it? >> well, no, it isn't actually, stephen, because, i mean, look at the results. it was abc, anyone but conservatives at the weekend, and the reality is, if you go back to other situations in the past where the government of the day has been on the rope and they've sought to carry on to the last bit of moment and hope something turns up, to the last bit of moment and hope something turns up , they've hope something turns up, they've always come off worse than they had. they gone at this point. jim callaghan in 1979. john major 97, gordon brown 2010. he would all have done better. they would all have done better. they would still have lost, by the way, but they would all have done better had they gone earlier. i think the public at large has made up its mind. the tories have to go. they are toast to sadiq khan. i think in

his speech. was quite right about that, the prime minister, about that, the prime minister, a dead man walking, i'm afraid. and, the reality is that , if the and, the reality is that, if the tories have an election tomorrow, they will lose. if they have an election in october, november, they'll lose even more heavily . even more heavily. >> do you do you think that rishi sunak can hang on as leader? because he's been quite fierce in his rhetoric. so far, from what we've heard. he said he's going to continue to put the fight to labour. and james cleverly, writing in the telegraph today, says yes, the results have been tough. there's no point pretending otherwise. but he says the voters that have drifted away will come back to us in time for a general election. he he appears to suggest that this has just been protest votes at local elections. >> he's whistling in the wind, i think, and most conservatives you speak to will tell you that the game is up, you speak to will tell you that the game is up , that the last the game is up, that the last line of defence local councils have gone . it's the mps next have gone. it's the mps next into the threshing machine , and into the threshing machine, and there's no way back. and i think people want to keep rishi sukh sunak. they're not because they

think he's doing a good job, but because there isn't an obvious alternative, it would look absurd to replace yet another prime minister within this parliament. and also, there's some tory mps who want to make sure that when the results come out, the general election, they are terrible. rishi sunak carries the can for it, okay, norman, good to see you. thank you very much indeed . i you very much indeed. i appreciate that analysis. i know, obviously you can't keep everyone happy all the time , everyone happy all the time, this is a democracy. you know, we're all going to vote for different parties, and it's just whoever gets the most. karen, karen has been in touch. morning, karen. she says, gb news, it seems, likes to keep reporting how well labour has done and how bad it's going for the conservatives but we know the conservatives but we know the like and or dislike karen. but what what do you want us to do? that's all going very well. so i'm very well for rishi sunak. we've got to tell you what's happening. got to give you the truth. there's no point

spinning it . you know, these are spinning it. you know, these are this is what is going on in the country, and there's no getting away from it. and what is interesting actually, is , is interesting actually, is, is james cleverly can say what he likes in the sunday telegraph and he can say what he likes if he wants to appear on our programme, you talk to mps if you ever have the privilege of going into parliament or meeting mps out and about, you talk to them privately. these tory mps and they do say we've had it, we've lost it, we know we've lost it, they have to say they say something else in public, but that is what they're saying in private, you know, so we're just you know, we're not can't spin you a line. we've got to tell you the truth . tell you the truth. >> i mean, i think the timing of a general election is going to be very, very interesting now because perhaps the tories are thinking today and this week, after their bank holiday is oven after their bank holiday is over, perhaps now the focus needs to be minimising the losses. perhaps then you're better. maybe get the flights off to rwanda as promised by rishi sunak, and then go with that summer election, go for a

summer election. you can say, look, we said we'd get those flights off. they've gone. maybe that's the best hand that they've got the best, the best car that they can play. i don't know, it's going to be go as long as you can and hope interest rates come down. >> i remember saying ages ago that i thought the longer the longer you leave it, the more desperate you seem, because you know, it's because we're just waiting for things to get better. will they get better? just don't know. it's a heck of a gamble. >> it is a gamble. yeah. >> it is a gamble. yeah. >> and in the meantime, you're called things like a zombie parliament, aren't you? and say you're squatters in number 10, that's going to continue that rhetoric . rhetoric. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think we're approaching a point where rishi sunak would just say, right, point where rishi sunak would just say, right , let's point where rishi sunak would just say, right, let's go. yeah, let's get on with it. i think it'll be after flights to rwanda, i think they'll have to have that because that's what he's he's made his flagship policy, hasn't he? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that's not what you think. we can all sit here and predict, can't we? but none of us know.

only one man in this country knows. and that is rishi sunak. >> this is true. >> this is true. >> gbnews.com/yoursay. now donald trump's hush money trial enters its third week in new york tomorrow. yes, the former president is accused of falsifying business records over hush money payments made to the aduu hush money payments made to the adult actress stormy daniels to cover up their alleged affair. >> well, of course, he's denied all wrongdoing . well, earlier we all wrongdoing. well, earlier we spoke to professor scott lucas , spoke to professor scott lucas, who's professor of us politics at ucl . at ucl. >> the drama has been that trump has been fined $9,000 because he continues to insult the proceedings, insulting the judge, insulting the prosecutors, insulting the judge's family , the judge's judge's family, the judge's clerk. but it's been really important. these two weeks in terms of setting up, where we go with the substance of this trial, which, of course is about falsifying business records as part of an interference in the 2016 election. and i think you just heard from mark oaten that in politics, sometimes it's quite good to be quiet but effective. the same is true in trials. what the prosecution has

been doing, because this is their term in court, has been laying out the evidence, which is i think is pretty clear, that the trump team were very worried about his, sexual encounters and his affair, his affair with karen mcdougal, his sexual encounter with the porn star stormy daniels, that there was motive there to try to keep stormy daniels quiet, that the money was paid to her in october of 2016, and the next week , of 2016, and the next week, they'll probably then get to the substance of. yes. and then the business records were falsified, to cover up that payment. where the defence is going to go when it comes their turn. i don't think they can really knock back that evidence. i think what they do is they'll go after the witnesses. they'll go after the character of the witnesses, especially stormy daniels and mike, donald trump's former fixer, michael cohen. >> and how do you think this is actually affecting donald trump himself? because we've seen , himself? because we've seen, haven't we, scott lucas in previous trials that this

actually helps him a lot in the polls , it feeds into his polls, it feeds into his narrative, doesn't it, of him versus the establishment. but actually, i think for the first time in this trial, we have seen him getting somewhat frustrated. do you think that's because it's been such a long trial so far ? been such a long trial so far? >> well, i think he was always a bit of a myth. more it was a spin line by the trumpist that the trials always help him. you know, they kind of say that because it's like, oh, don't put him on trial or else he'll win , him on trial or else he'll win, i don't think it helped him. for example, when he was found guilty of defamation and sexual assault of e jean carroll the writer, it won't help him with women voters. in terms of this trial, what's compounded that is that trump is kind of limited in what he can say, because of course, he risked getting fined if he lashes out too much, and because practically he has to be in court rather than on the campaign trail. and for that reason, he is getting frustrated. he is getting angry in court because trump doesn't really do procedure. he doesn't do evidence. he doesn't even do, dare i say it, the legal

process. he does big speeches. he does loud and bigly, and he can't do that, while this trial goes on into a third week or fourth week and a second month, professor scott lucas speaking to us a little bit earlier on in the program . the program. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> dear me, yeah, that one to watch. sorry, i'm just engrossed in all your thoughts. >> gb news .com/ your say about politics over here. >> and i get it. a lot of you aren't very happy, but it's like, what? what do you do? it's what i mean, this is, this is the point with the democracy, isn't it, that in essence, if you break it, if you do it in very simple terms, every time there's an election, 50% of the population are unhappy, 50% are happy. you know, it's , but happy. you know, it's, but you've got to i guess the point is, you've got to be able to live with that and say, right, we'll have another go in four years. yeah, or five years, because what else do you do if you then suddenly start saying,

actually someone has commented, oh, well , it's actually someone has commented, oh, well, it's all it's all actually someone has commented, oh, well , it's all it's all been oh, well, it's all it's all been rigged. well, you can't go if you don't get the result you want. you can't then say, well , want. you can't then say, well, we need to do it all again. i mean, look, a lot of you would say that because that's what thatis say that because that's what that is what they try to do with brexit. you know, a massive referendum, biggest sort of pubuc referendum, biggest sort of public vote i think, in history. and people said, leave the eu. and people said, leave the eu. and then the ones who didn't want to leave said, oh, it wasn't right, let's make it best of three. whatever it was, you know, it's and you can't. and you were outraged by that and understandably so. but then we have to apply the same rules that we had with that we have to apply to this and accept what's going on, whether we like it or not, interestingly, though, see, we're very diplomatic, aren't we? >> we are. we're trying to be, cagey in cumbria, said you two are being overly diplomatic and are being overly diplomatic and a bit naive. >> if the country is screwed, he says , no. says, no. >> damn. well, i hope not. well ihope

>> damn. well, i hope not. well i hope not. >> we hope not, josh fitzgerald has been in touch. good morning to you. saying russia should just call the election tomorrow . just call the election tomorrow. stop holding the country to ransom. we don't want you. you weren't elected. give us the democratic vote that we need and that it will be. and it will be called at some point this year, the second half of the year, we've been told that's all we know. so far. i wonder if the results this weekend will affect what rishi sunak thinks in terms of going to the polls. will he play of going to the polls. will he play the long game or will he just say let's minimise losses and hedge, hedge the polls. >> yeah, i don't know. get on with it. yeah. >> let's get on with it all right. >> shall we get on with the weather shall we. >> with catherine. >> with catherine. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news forecast, brought to you by the met office. a mixed picture on sunday. sunny spells in the south. cloudy in the north. but

channel. >> loads of you getting in touch. keith devlin got in touch and has said what scares me about labour winning power at the next general election is militant tendencies have been laying very low, so they don't rock the boat. but once labour win power, they will take over once again. do you know what, keith? i put that very point to stephen pound, former labour mp, earlier on this morning. he said no, there's no sort of momentum on the national executive anymore. he was he was very clear on his position on that, saying it would not happen. it's worth having a look at the interview earlier on. it was in the 7:00 hour top of the 7:00, i think. so have a scroll back on youtube or on the app and have a look at that and see if that changes your mind. it may not, but it's a valid question to ask, because a lot of people, do wonder whether that is the case. but anyway, he says no . so you

but anyway, he says no. so you make your own mind up on that gb news .com/ your say. now king charles is taking on about 300 new charities, some of which are thought to be close to his mother's heart. but that's as critics fear. a royal row is ensuing over. prince andrew's home. that's royal lodge, which is in desperate need of repair. so should it be living there at all? earlier, we spoke to a former royal butler, grant harrold , former taking on these harrold, former taking on these new roles . i don't know how much new roles. i don't know how much you have to do within each role, but it seems at a time i'm a bit surprised he's done it at a time when his health is still obviously a little bit fragile. good morning to you both from tokyo, as you said, they have, you know, he's taken on these passages. i think it's to show us all that even though he's obviously got these health battles that he's, obviously fighting cancer. but at the same time, as we know, recently he started to talk about increasing

his engagements. and i think taking these on is very much to show the country, all of us, if not the world, that it's kind of almost, almost back to business as normal. because as i've said before, he's somebody that does not like just to sit down and do nothing. so if anything, as soon as the doctors may have given him a bit of, obviously hope that things are going well, he's decided that he wants to increase what he already does , increase what he already does, which doesn't surprise me, because that's exactly the kind of character he is. as i said, he's not somebody that likes to just sit back and do nothing. it's a complete opposite. and i think that's why he's probably quite happy to be able to do this. and again, it's things that are close to the late queen, which he is obviously, as now king, he's keen to continue a lot of her work, should we talk about prince andrew because it's the front page of the sunday mirror this morning? apparently the estate at royal lodge in windsor is in a state of disrepair, and there's questions about whether he should be living there at all, i mean, as you know, this this is

a former home of the late queen elizabeth the queen mother. and of course, he obviously has lived there for a few years. there's been debates in the past about whether he should have that property. it's quite a substantial sized house. i think it's between 8 and 10 bedrooms. obviously, it needs repairs done.i obviously, it needs repairs done. i think it's regardless of who's living there, the what, we still have to be done to that property because again, as one of the royal properties, it's somewhere that they've got to kind of look after and undertake its kind of care whether that's been paid for by, let's say, the king or whether it's paid for by him, that's very much down to what the agreement is between them all. i know from a personal point of view, when i used to live in royal properties, that that was something that i would, depending on what had to be done. you know, if it's something that had to be done, then it was done by the estate. if it was something i wanted done, then i would do it. so that's what it comes down to. so if these are general kind of repairs that have to be done, then technically it's probably then technically it's probably the estate that should when it should be covering it. >> that's grant howard speaking to us a little bit earlier on in the programme.

>> yeah. we've got sport heading your way in just a moment. aidan's here. >> yes, indeed. well, the tractor boys of ipswich town have ploughed their way back into the premier league after a wait of 22 years. we'll hear how they did it after this .

break. >> welcome back to breakfast. it's time to go through all the sport now with aidan. all. morning, aidan. >> good morning to you both. can we start with ipswich? given that you're wearing ipswich town? yes, yes. well, they had a momentous day yesterday. they had to beat huddersfield town or at least get a point actually to secure promotion back to the premier league. 22 years they've waited to get back to the big time. it's so, so tough when a club, even a decent club like ipswich, one with a bit history behind it, has been without parachute payments from the premier league, from relegation in recent years to try and

rebuild your club and get it over the line against these juggernaut sides like southampton, like leeds, like norwich, like leicester city, who've got promoted last week, but they've accomplished it back to back promotions . but they've accomplished it back to back promotions. this young lad, ipswich, aged 37 years old, has accomplished something really, really special. he was a number two to jose mourinho at manchester united, number two to ole gunnar solskjaer. he's gone to ipswich, he's kind of ploughed his own furrow. if we're going to go down the tractor boys route, that's that's took me a while to come up with that one. it almost is almost as little time as it took ipswich to get back to the big time. but look don't be surprised now if you see the noise linking kieran mckenna with a return to manchester united growing throughout the summer, the new owners at united need a new manager. we said we discussed it earlier on. i think erik ten hag is his goose is cooked at manchester at old trafford. i think he's going to be out on his ear this summer and i think they'll be looking for somebody young and dynamic. yes, you'll say, okay, it's the

biggest club in the world. he's only managing ipswich. can he really make that step up? but i think that he'll be he'll be right in the running when they're considering those, those names, because they like his methodical approach to running a football club with the players respect him. >> that's being 37. >> that's being 37. >> that's being 37. >> that's a really good question. i don't think the age is a problem, but he's not managed really big players, he's managed really big players, he's managed players at league one and then championship level. often it's felt that british managers now have to earn their rights in the premier league by taking the club into it. maybe he at least needs to give it one yearin he at least needs to give it one year in the premier league if he keeps ipswich up and plays well and performs well over the next 12 months or so, then who knows? you could go absolutely anywhere because that's going to be a tough job keeping them in the division next year. but you know what? if man united come calling at any time in your life, you just have to go. it's as simple as that. yeah. >> should we talk about leeds? >> should we talk about leeds? >> yes. why not. yeah. well they were the ones who. they were the four guys yesterday. they had to beat southampton to have any chance of overhauling ipswich. but it didn't matter in the end because ipswich were obviously beat huddersfield, who got relegated and leeds didn't beat

southampton. they lost two one at home. unfortunately for them, will ferrell we've seen on the front of the sun this morning buying into leeds united. he's bought into 40 niners enterprises. we don't know how much but we believe it's a significant stake in the club. so we'll see how that plays out. but there is a move among hollywood stars to try and get involved with football clubs this year. and look, leeds are in the play offs. they can still get promoted to the premier league. they're not in great shape right now because they've lost their last two games. they've fallen away as they tend to do, but if they get into the premier league overnight, will ferrell's steak and the steak of the american owners who bought the american owners who bought the club last june goes up incrementally as of august, or even as of the week after next, if they get to the playoff final and win. yeah good time to buy a couple of shares myself. we'll get on there. get on there now. get on it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> agent, we're out of time. good to see you. thank you. >> see you this weekend. >> see you this weekend. >> thank you very much indeed. do stay with us now. we're going to be going through the papers with andy jones

next. welcome back to breakfast. go through the papers now, aren't we? oh, yes, we are with emma burnell and andy jones. good to see you both this morning. >> just having a look down the list to see what was sort of slightly different from all the stuff we've covered so far. what's this in the mail on sunday? emma about, 31,000 homes without water for a third day. >> yeah, there's been a burst drain pipe down on the south coast and a number of households have had no water. they've had to deliver bottled water to 6000 vulnerable homes, and plenty of restaurants and pubs and a unable to open because they just haven't got any water, three daysis haven't got any water, three days is just far too long for this to be, to be fixed, but there's this pipe burst in dense woodland. >> well, let me see.

logistically there is a problem here. >> yeah, but come on, like , >> yeah, but come on, like, maybe i could see that in the amazon, but this is, you know, dense woodland in england is not that far from a road. >> no, no . >> no, no. >> no, no. >> and the billions of pounds in income and the billions of pounds that these companies are giving in dividends and bonuses could have been spent on, you know, a bit of projection about how we will cope with a link in a in dense woodland. i mean, the only thing dense is the people that run these companies , as far that run these companies, as far as i'm concerned. i mean, we don't have any control over our electric here. we don't have any control over our water. we don't have any control over our utilities. britain is now a lodger in its own home. we are owned by foreign businesses who pretend to look after us. and again, a lot of these companies. how many reservoirs have they built? absolutely none. >> not one. 51 years. >> not one. 51 years. >> exactly, exactly . no >> exactly, exactly. no provision for this kind of thing, andy, tell us about this story in the mail online. it's about hadrian's wall. >> yes. so taxpayers are to fund a £475 a day, £500 a day. expert

to decolonise parts of hadrian's wall. >> what a deal. colonise it. >> what a deal. colonise it. >> well, i mean, well, decolonise you know, make us aware of its colonial history. >> but anyone who knows anything about hadrian's wall will know that it was built, you know, sort of a couple of hundred ad, it's significant technically, by colonising. >> well, they were roman. >> well, they were roman. >> it was. it was built before we went anywhere. and it was also built by romans who came into britain and killed around 750,000 people. a multinational army of romans from all over the world. so the idea that we need to spend 5700 for 12 days work in tyne and wear, of all places, you know, tyne and wear, they've got some of the worst deprivations, some of the lowest wages , some of the lowest wages, some of the lowest growth. and to be spending £5,700 on 12 days work. this is the archives and museum association in tyne, tyne and wear, who were given 4 million grant from the arts council of england by all means let us know about history. the bloody side

of it, the horrible side of it. i think it's important that we learn all sides of our history, but decolonising an area of hadrian's wall that isn't anything to do with colonialism and is in fact the absolute reverse, is completely plenty of things that you could see that have a colonial history in that area, you know, huge industrial areas that, you know, we know that there was aspects of colonialism and slavery as well, which not the same thing, but are connected in some areas that you could probably do quite a lot of really good historical education on. >> i don't know that hadrian's wall, as you say, given that it pre—exists any of our any british colonialism , it is the british colonialism, it is the place to spend that money. yes. no. >> and it also is it's going to it's going to address our colonial past and our systemic racism. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, i'm really not surprised that there was systemic racism in 100 ad. or whatever. >> well, yes, as i say, i mean, the people who were building that wall, i mean, it was all

foreigners coming in, building them. wall. >> well, there you go , but what >> well, there you go, but what are they going to do for 12 days?! are they going to do for 12 days? i mean, what on earth are they going to find up there? >> £500 a day ever done for us? that's what i want to know. >> well, as one historian in the article says, these colonisers, they're a third rate historian on a gravy train of public money and i. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> they're making good money, aren't they ? aren't they? >> i just don't understand why you would ever want to do that. no, i just it's beyond me. >> i don't get it. >> i don't get it. >> i don't get it. >> i mean, i'm, i'm usually the voice of woke on this channel, but this one i think is beyond me. >> hadrian's wall. that says something. >> yeah, emma, let's have a look at the daily mail, shall we? page three, this is a great story, isn't it? >> it's daniel rooney story. >> it's daniel rooney story. >> daniel rooney, who was playing in a hotel bar, when word, reached , i think it was, word, reached, i think it was, ross kempsell at the sun. who who, found out that olly murs had was stuck in london. now there's a whole nother thing to be talked about in terms of our appalling transport system,

causing so many problems for people trying to get to their jobs, but he couldn't make it to support take that, in their gig that they were, that they were playing, gary barlow. so ross kempsell heard that this had happened with olly mars, texted gary barlow, gary barlow sort of jokingly texted back, do you know anyone who could do it? he was in a hotel bar watching this lad play his, cover version. he said, well, this guy's pretty good, let's get him on stage. and so he got he went from this hotel bar to playing at this massive arena in support of take that, which is just one of those lovely. there's a film to be made about. >> oh, it's the stuff of dreams, isn't it. >> absolutely. wonderful story. yeah fantastic. >> all right, take that. >> all right, take that. >> apparently. yeah. apparently the audience loved it. i'm a big, big take. that fan have been since i was 16 years old, so i. and you a bit unusual for me because i'm usually an indie kid, but. yeah, they got to me. so i think it's just another example of take that being lovely. yeah. >> and i bet they were so behind him as well. i mean, what a

great story. just to step up to the plate like that and yeah, save the show really well, exactly. >> we've had all sorts of shows called off for all sorts of reasons around the country. the disaster at the co—op stage, at co—op live, of course. >> take that one. >> take that one. >> yeah, they were meant to be at the co—op and they pulled it. and how they got another venue. >> well, impressive to get another venue on that short notice. obviously someone was in between acts, but thank goodness they were for the take that fans. yeah yeah. >> wow. good on them, i think that's really nice. i hope he does really well. i'd rather see that sort of thing than some of these celeb, you know, ex factory style things. really, now emily blunt fine actress. yes. a&e. but thank heavens that you're not her leading man. >> me because she will be me. >> me because she will be me. >> i she she wouldn't brush my teeth. >> i'm. i'm perfectly good for kissing . we're talking about kissing. we're talking about kissing. we're talking about kissing emily blunt kissing some stars makes me feel sick. what a thing to admit. this is emily's london born actress, emily blunt talking on howard stern's radio

show show. he obviously always asks the naughtiest questions, she says that sometimes she she always tries to find something attractive about the person she's kissed, kissing, and she's kissed everyone from robert downey jr , the rock, tom cruise, downey jr, the rock, tom cruise, matt damon, cillian murphy , oh. matt damon, cillian murphy, oh. actually, i think different people. but she says sometimes chemistry is a strange thing. you can't really bottle it or sell it. it's either there or it's not. and sometimes she says that kissing the wrong person, she won't name who, but she says she won't name who, but she says she just can't get on board with it. >> and why would you want to get on board with it? >> it's so interesting because on most of the time when actors talk about love scenes, oh no, no, there's no you know, it's no attraction there. it's just a job we're just doing, you know, we're faking it. we're doing our acting job. so it's interesting that she's kind of revealing the behind the curtains. you have to have a little bit of chemistry there. >> yes , i agree i'd be if i was >> yes, i agree i'd be if i was i don't know if she's married or she's married to john krasinski,

who's john krasinski. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they're married. yeah. >> they're married. yeah. >> he's a good he's the one who does the jack ryan stuff on amazon, isn't he? >> he's beefcake. >> he's beefcake. >> you spend a lot of time on stage, don't you? i do. have you ever had to kiss people in a kiss? >> i haven't written myself a part where i get to snog the leading man. maybe i should do this the way if you're writing the stuff, why not. >> but no, the only time i've actually. mostly i'm behind the stage. i'm a writer. but i was in my last show. but it was very much not a kissing part. oh, i can imagine. >> it's really, really awkward. >> it's really, really awkward. >> well, my first play, which i directed, had the two actors did have to kiss. yeah. and it is very, very interesting. they. i took them out. we didn't rehearse the kiss until day three. so they knew each other. they were comfortable in each other's presence by that point. took them out for a glass of wine for lunch and then we went and rehearsed the kiss after that. so everyone was very relaxed, you have to be really conscious as a director, not to put them in too awkward a situation, but there was a kiss in the script, and they both knew that when they signed on. >> if you're a director actor,

i'm surprised you're not staging 50 shades of grey, can't put that on. >> put that, put that on and enjoy yourself. >> i've read 50 shades of grey. you are very badly written, if you're interested. >> emily blunt says she's now she's such a great actor. she can now create chemistry with anything. >> he now kiss anyone, even a water bottle. >> there's a boat, even a water bottle. >> so it gives me hope, she says. you can create chemistry because she's an actress with almost anything. she can make herself believe it. and so it gives me a sign. i mean, it's not that hard. >> it's not like any of the guys that she's kissing are, you know, mingers. i mean, they're all bloody hollywood actors. they've got a little bit of something about them. >> yeah, or those people i said she'd kissed earlier. they're just listed as her friends, but i am sure she has actually kissed lots of famous and attractive. >> it must be so interesting as an actress turning up to something like the oscars, and you've kissed all the men in the room and you're there with your husband. yeah, i know they're actresses. that's part of their job. >> i mean, i've been to parties like that, but that's a whole nother story, right? >> you two, thank you very much

indeed. it's been good to see you. this morning. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> really good to see you. yep. >> really good to see you. yep. >> i could never do that. >> i could never do that. >> what? >> what? >> kiss all the actors in hollywood. i just i don't think it's in your job description, so it's in yourjob description, so i think you're going to be all right. should we look at the weather with catherine? >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello, and welcome to your. gb news forecast, brought to you by the met office. a mixed picture on sunday. sunny spells in the south. cloudier in the north. but where we do see the sunshine it is going to be feeling rather warm. so the best of the sunshine is parts of northern wales, central england and also down towards the south—east of england. cloudier skies persisting across northern ireland, much of scotland with some outbreaks of rain here. but in the south—west we have got a weather system and this bringing some more outbreaks of showery outbreaks of rain pushing its way northwards. but where we do see the sunshine, temperatures are going to be on the rise. we're going to see highs of around 18 or possibly up to 20

terrified because he was on the tube or walking down the tube platform and an old bloke walked through a wall. oh he walked through. is he sure? yeah he is. >> you sure? he hadn't just had a few pints. >> he walked through a brick wall. a scruffy old bloke in 19405 wall. a scruffy old bloke in 1940s clothing vanished through a wall as the singer walked behind him. oh, i don't want to say, considering his biggest song was here in my car. i feel safest of all. i can lock all my doors. it's the only way to live in cars. you shouldn't have been on the tube gary. >> well, that's a fantastic point. yes what station was this? >> i don't know, piccadilly circus . circus. >> i think maybe he might have just had a few drinks. i'm not sure if i believe in that. >> never know. do you believe in ghosts? >> i don't know, i wouldn't say no , but i'm not convinced. no, but i'm not convinced. i don't know. >> no, i'm not sure either. >> no, i'm not sure either. >> echoes of something. oh, it's possible he could have seen it.

>> well, apparently they followed after him. followed after him. went about six foot and there was nothing there . it and there was nothing there. it was one of those tunnels that had been blocked up. oh ghosts living in the blocked up tunnel at piccadilly circus. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> which is probably what they used for during the blitz. yeah. wasn't it because it all capped out? >> i mean, it's a great story. >> i mean, it's a great story. >> yeah. i just don't know whether i believe in ghosts could. >> well, well who knows who knows. right. let's crack on with the politics this morning. it's been a tough old weekend for the conservative party in particular. of course, for the prime minister. also, the top toff yesterday with a couple of big losses . the first one was big losses. the first one was sadiq khan when he won his third term as london mayor yesterday. it's londoners who inspire me every day to continue our mission of building a fairer, safer , safer and greener london. safer, safer and greener london. >> and in what i hope will be a year of great change a future labour government led by keir

starmer . working with us in city starmer. working with us in city hall will mean we can go much further and accomplish so much more . more. >> well, just a few hours later, conservative andy street lost the west midlands mayoralty, which he had been expected to retain to labour's richard parker by 1508 votes. >> well, our west midlands reporter jack carson joins us now and it has to be said i mean, this was the real shock of this whole weekend, really . this whole weekend, really. >> oh, definitely. >> oh, definitely. >> that's definitely right. i mean, up until, the election last thursday, labour were seeing an increasing chance of taking the west midlands and were starting to divert more resources towards here, thinking that richard parker had a real chance of winning. and that's exactly what they managed to do now. during the campaign, andy street had tried to put himself and put him first rather than party. you know, he got criticised a lot during the campaign for calling for

essentially being brand a&e, but he was trying to put across to the people in this area just exactly what he's done as mayor over the two terms that he had in office. i mean, we've got things like the metro extension record funding into this area, billions of pounds. he was the first mayor here. so he's very much shaped the combined the way that this combined authority has become. but of course with the disgruntled old voters, particularly at the conservatives nationally , that conservatives nationally, that increase in the vote for the reform party in this region, as well as maybe some people, not particularly happy with everything that andy street has done, meant that labour's richard parker, with his promises particularly around trans sport, copying the likes of what we've seen in manchester with that bus network and the b network going into public ownership , that's was one of the ownership, that's was one of the things that richard parker wants to do. public transportation in this area is a big part of what matters to people's everyday lives. so standing on that kind of platform has meant that voters have made that switch.

but it was very , very close. i but it was very, very close. i mean, all throughout the night, on election night, it was always still too close to call. and in the end, richard parker winning by only 0.3% of the vote, just 1508 votes in it. afterwards andy street, you plainly admitted that he was devastated. of course , to lose that of course, to lose that election. but he says given the picture of the way that people are voting against the conservatives nationally to lose by just 1500 votes was something that he still said he could be proud of last night. that he still said he could be proud of last night . after that proud of last night. after that win, keir starmer also made a quick dash to the west midlands. here's him speaking after the result . result. >> but we haven't only won for our people and the labour members and labour councillors and labour mps in this region. we've won for all those people that have had their hopes and their livelihoods taken away and so badly damaged by this tory government and this tory mayor, and we will change it. it's time for a fresh start. we're working with the labour party. we'll deliver that and we start on monday. >> what a way to end the local

election in 2024. general election in 2024. general election year. we . we started in election year. we. we started in blackpool with a 26% swing and we've ended in the west midlands with our new mayor, richard parker, as the west midlands mayor >> well, of course there were so many nuances to this election as well. i mean, andy street almost quit the conservatives back at the conservative party conference because of course , of conference because of course, of hs2 and the plan to scrap that second leg, he'd already been working on a plan with andy burnham in greater manchester to try and revitalise that line with private investment. what is the future of that? we're still unsure now. there were some people that told andy street after, of course, the second leg of hs2 was cancelled, that if he'd run he should run as an independent, and perhaps if he had run as an independent without that conservative party behind him, he might well have retained this seat. but also the

fact of course, here in birmingham, labour run birmingham, labour run birmingham city council declared bankruptcy over the last year and really the votes here and the vote share in birmingham probably didn't switch and swing as much as maybe the conservatives thought it might do. still, a lot of people still putting trust in labour here, but also as well. interesting from the outcome of this election that the independent yaqoob here, particularly in birmingham, took 20% of the vote, tens of thousands of votes across the region. still playing, trouble really for labour on that idea of gaza and israel and palestine and that issue of course, a lot of muslim communities in and around the greater authority that decided to take away their vote from laboun to take away their vote from labour, that still wasn't enough, which were the concerns from labour. that might be enough that taking away those votes might be enough to not give them a chance. they've managed to survive that battle, and richard parker will now be the next mayor of the west midlands. >> okay, jack, for now, thanks very much indeed .

very much indeed. >> well, coming up at 930 is the camilla tominey show, and she joins us now. good to see you this morning, camilla. we just heard from jack carson there, didn't we, about the shock result of the weekend. really in the west midlands it has been a really tough weekend for the tories. and questions now about whether rishi sunak can cling on. i'm sure this is something going to be discussing in your programme. >> absolutely. well, i'll be speaking to the transport secretary, mark harper, who's got the hospital passed this morning of doing a broadcast round after the worst local election results in 40 years. funnily enough, people aren't necessarily talking about rishi sunak standing down. i don't think there is going to be that leadership challenge. got suella braverman writing in the sunday telegraph this morning that this isn't the time to replace the prime minister, but i think massive questions being asked of richard polden, the party chairman, who has presided over this. i think there's criticisms of the way that the conservative party have handled the mayoral race in london. we had paul scully, a tory mp, saying that

basically cchq were lacklustre in their support of susan hall and that's been responsible for her defeat there. andy street very well liked, very popular politician , obviously associated politician, obviously associated as well with his past at the helm of john lewis . i mean, helm of john lewis. i mean, that's a real blow. and it begs questions of where the party goes next. you've got andy street sort of suggesting that they must adopt a very moderate platform and not kowtow to the sort of reform pressures placed upon them. but if you look at the reform vote and how much it's eating into the conservative vote, and we know that people watching and listening to this programme are increasingly saying that they'd rather vote for reform than the tories as they currently stand. i'm going to be asking mark harper what is rishi sunak actually going to do to give a positive offering to people who are thinking to themselves they can't bear voting tory or actually and we've seen this with the very low turnout. they can't even be bothered to vote at all. >> yeah, it in terms of a general election, what do you

think? i mean, really quickly, what do you think this does? we're getting a mixed bag of views. camilla from people saying, look, this means he needs to wait and things could only get better sort of thing. or the other half saying , or the other half saying, actually, let's get on with it now. it can't get any worse. it's i think it would be disastrous for them to call a general election. >> now, even though when you translate what's happened in the locals to the national picture, it looks as if labour can't form a majority. they haven't got enough. a majority. they haven't got enough . but then that heralds in enough. but then that heralds in the prospect of doing deals with the prospect of doing deals with the lib dems, even the snp, labour will say and i've got pat mcfadden coming on the show and he's the man masterminding labour's general election campaign. he'll say, well, we're not counting scotland and that changes the picture entirely. i think it would be complete folly right now for rishi sunak to call general election. i'd expect it to happen in october or november. funnily enough, kwasi kwarteng, the former chancellor, made a really good

point about the idea of a november election that could actually go against the conservatives because it's coming at the same time as trump versus biden in america. and then there's the farage factor to consider. if trump is giving farage a load of publicity in his own campaign because of their very close relationship, that could then embolden reform even more in the face of the tories. so it's very, very difficult. i'd suggest that october might be the best time to go, but let's be honest . i to go, but let's be honest. i mean, the picture this morning is dire. rishi sunak. mean, the picture this morning is dire. rishi sunak . despite is dire. rishi sunak. despite everything and even having a quite good week last week with the whole standing off of the irish over the migrant crisis . irish over the migrant crisis. yes, he had quite a good week. it looks as if rwanda might be already proving to be a deterrent. and yet his five point plan hasn't moved the dial at all. so i'll be asking harper. and i'm also speaking to theresa villiers and robert buckland, two mps on sort of different sides of the party. what must the tories do to win back the electorate ? because at back the electorate? because at the moment they're facing a very

catastrophic defeat . catastrophic defeat. >> rac with the plan is what we keep being told. camilla well, the plan ain't working . yeah, the plan ain't working. yeah, well there are some people may agree with you on that one. all right, camilla, we'll see you a little bit later on. thank you . little bit later on. thank you. oh, dear. >> my voice is going yeah, get the tea down. >> the stress of this morning. >> the stress of this morning. >> i know there's a lot to unpack, isn't there? and it looks like a really good programme coming up with camilla at 930. so don't miss that. now summer is just around the corner and we want to make it sizzle for you, don't we? we do. with an incredible £20,000. get this tea up for grabs in our latest great british giveaway. it's our biggest cash prize to date and it could all be yours. here's how you could be a winner. >> the next great british giveaway winner could be you. with a massive £20,000 in tax free cash to won . be imagine how free cash to won. be imagine how you'd react getting that winning call from us. hi my name is philcox and i won the great british giveaway. >> i'd say why not? it's what? what is it? the price of a text

while the former president is accused of falsifying business records over hush money payments made to the adult actress stormy daniels to cover up their alleged affair. he, of course, has denied all wrongdoing. well earlier this morning we spoke to professor scott lucas at ucl in london. >> drama has been that trump has been fined $9,000 because he continues to insult the proceedings, insulting the judge, insulting the prosecutors, insulting the judge's family , the judge's judge's family, the judge's clerk. but it's been really important. these two weeks in terms of setting up where we go with the substance of this trial, which of course is about falsifying business records as part of an interference in the 2016 election. and i think you just heard from mark oaten that in politics, sometimes it's quite good to be quiet but effective. the same is true in trials. what the prosecution has been doing, because this is their term in court , has been their term in court, has been laying out the evidence, which is i think is pretty clear, that the trump team were very worried

about his, sexual encounters and his affair, his affair with karen mcdougal , his sexual karen mcdougal, his sexual encounter with the porn star stormy daniels, that there was motive there to try to keep stormy daniels quiet, that the money was paid to her in october of 2016, and the next week, they'll probably then get to the substance of. yes. and then the business records were falsified, to cover up that payment where the defence is going to go when it comes their turn . i don't it comes their turn. i don't think they can really knock back that evidence. i think what they do is they'll go after the witnesses. they'll go after the character of the witnesses, especially stormy daniels and mike. donald trump's former fixer, michael cohen . fixer, michael cohen. >> and how do you think this is actually affecting donald trump himself ? actually affecting donald trump himself? because actually affecting donald trump himself ? because we've seen, himself? because we've seen, haven't we, scott lucas in previous trials that this actually helps him a lot in the polls , it feeds into his polls, it feeds into his narrative, doesn't it, of him versus the establishment. but actually, i think for the first time in this trial, we have seen

him getting somewhat frustrated . him getting somewhat frustrated. do you think that's because it's been such a long trial so far ? been such a long trial so far? >> well, i think it was always a bit of a myth. more it was a spin line by the trumpists that the trials always help him. you know, they kind of say that because it's like, oh, don't put him on trial, or else he'll win, i don't think it helped him. for example, when he was found guilty of defamation and sexual assault of e jean carroll the writer, it won't help him with women voters in terms of this trial, what's compounded that is that trump is kind of limited in what he can say, because of course, he risked getting fined if he lashes out too much. and because practically he has to be in court rather than on the campaign trail. and for that reason, he is getting frustrated. he is getting angry in court because trump doesn't really do procedure. he doesn't do evidence he doesn't even do. dare i say it , the legal dare i say it, the legal process. he does big speeches. he does loud and bigly. and he can't do that, while this trial goes on into a third week or fourth week and a second month. >> yeah, it's going to be

interesting this week to see how that one develops. but it's that whole argument, isn't it, that the, you know, the more controversy it is, the more actually his base does seem to improve. just get more support feeds into that narrative, doesn't it? >> that it's him versus the establishment, look , do you stay establishment, look, do you stay with us? we're going to be getting the latest on the royal household from former butler to

next. >> now. king charles is taking on about 300 new charities. some of which are thought to be very close to his mother's heart. >> yes. >> yes. >> that's his. critics fear a royal row is ensuing over prince andrew's home, royal lodge in windsor, which is in desperate need of repair, with some questioning whether he should actually be living there at all. >> but earlier we spoke to the former royal butler, grant harrold .

harrold. >> they have, you know, he's taken on these passages. i think it's to show us all that even though he's obviously got these health battles that he's, obviously fighting cancer. but at the same time, as we know, recently he started to talk about increasing his engagements. and i think taking these on is very much to show these on is very much to show the country, all of us, if not the country, all of us, if not the world, that it's kind of almost, almost back to business as normal. because as i've said before, he's somebody that does not like just to sit down and do nothing. so if anything, as soon as the doctors may have given him a bit of, obviously hope that things are going well, he's decided that he wants to increase what he already does, which doesn't surprise me, because that's exactly the kind of character he is. as i said, he's not somebody that likes to just sit back and do nothing. it's a complete opposite and i think that's why he's probably quite happy to be able to do this. and again, it's things that were close to the late queen, which he is obviously , as queen, which he is obviously, as now king, he's keen to continue a lot of her work . should we a lot of her work. should we talk about prince andrew? because it's the front page of the sunday mirror this morning.

apparently the estate at royal lodge in windsor is in a state of disrepair, and there's questions about whether he should be living there at all, i mean, as you know, this this is a former home of the late queen elizabeth the queen mother. and of course, he obviously has lived there for a few years. there's been debates in the past about whether he should have that property. it's quite a substantial sized house. i think it's between eight and ten bedrooms. obviously, it needs repairs done. i think it's regardless of who's living there, the what, we still have to be done to that property because again, as one of the royal properties, it's somewhere that they've got to kind of look after and undertake its kind of care, whether that's been paid for by, let's say, the king or whether that's paid for by him, that's very much down to what the agreement is between them all. i know from a personal point of view, when i used to live in royal properties, that that was something that i would, depending on what had to be done. you know, if it's something that had to be done and it was done by the estate, if it was something i wanted

done, then i would do it. so that's what it comes down to. so these are general kind of repairs that have to be done. then technically it's probably the estate that should when it should be covering it . should be covering it. >> that's now looking very well. >> that's now looking very well. >> he is looking very well. >> he is looking very well. >> lots of you commenting on that actually. got a personal trainer apparently. yeah. that's what he was telling us, stephen brown's been in touch. morning to you. saying he thinks there's going to be letters of no confidence in rishi sunak flying in on tuesday. he said he never should have stabbed boris in the back. well, interesting you say that because suella braverman spoke to us a little bit earlier on. this is what she had to say. >> there's no time to change leaders. so the prime minister is going to be leading us into the next general election , the next general election, whether we like it or not. what he needs to do to salvage this dire situation is to accept the enormity of the problem, these terrible results, and quickly and urgently change course. so make sure that there are meaningful tax cuts that people can feel and benefit from. put a

cap on legal migration. take us out of the european convention on human rights so that we actually stop the boats and make sure that we reclaim our streets back from the extremists. those are just a flavour of the things that he should be doing. but we need big, we need bold, we need strong leadership and strong communication of those policies to convince those conservative supporters that there's a reason, that there's a good reason, that there's a good reason to vote for us again , reason to vote for us again, suella braverman speaking to us there we are back from 6:00 tomorrow morning, aren't we? >> oh, yes, we are. >> camilla tominey is up next. >> camilla tominey is up next. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> it's a mixed picture for the rest of the bank holiday weekend with sunny spells for some, but also some outbreaks of rain and also some outbreaks of rain and also some outbreaks of rain and also some showers. i'll have all the details coming up . soon. the details coming up. soon. >> that warm feeling inside from
