There's something else here now, something new.
Starting point is 00:00:32 From exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch.

Starting point is 00:01:00 No spin, no bias, no censorship. I'm Dan Wooden. This is outspoken episode number 473. Three massive stories as we come on air today. Slippery Stam are on the brink imminently. A special message and TV address from the sick king to the nation. But first, Epsom explodes over the alleged police cover-up surrounding a reported gang rape that local citizens. was committed by migrants, with riot cops being sent in to battle the native population for another night as the upmarket Surrey town turns into a tinderbox. Look at them all protecting the absolute wrong ones. Oh! It's a woman! Levi! That's it. An attempt by Surrey police to host a dialogue
Starting point is 00:02:01 with locals soon descended into chaos as the cover-up, the police cover-up over key facts continued. Was it arrest made? Was it arrest made? Yes or no? No. Right. Next question. Right. Was the privacy preserved and taped off at the time and what investigations have you completed? Yes or no? I'll answer that question.
Starting point is 00:02:26 No, answer it. Oh, it's too much. No. No. Okay, so the police actually stormed out of their own briefing. It was extraordinary what happened next. I'm going to show you all of the shocking footage. Meanwhile, the focus of authorities continues to be on censorship, with top American critic of Islam, Valentina Gomez,
Starting point is 00:02:56 following Kanye West and being banned by Shabana Mahmood from entering Britain where she was due to speak at Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom Rally. But she's not taking this lying down. I just got banned from England because I'm not coming to rape or kill little girls. Plan A is for airplane, and since that's no longer an option, we're going to plan B. And plan B is for boats. So I'm going to do exactly what the rapist pedophile Muslims do. I'm going to hop on a boat.
Starting point is 00:03:23 But where the slippery stama even remains Prime Minister by the time of UTK is now an open question. After his major allies, including Good Morning Britain leftist Kevin Maguire and cabinet colleague Mad Miliband finally withdrew support from the... failing Labour liar. I want to say one thing about this, which is Peter Mandelson was a very familiar figure in the sort of 30-year history of Labour Party. And it's almost like that familiarity kind of meant that people sort of, it's almost like his flaws and so on just got almost sort of faded into the background.
Starting point is 00:03:59 And that was obviously wrong. But this is all over the damning evidence from sacked blob leader, Olly Robbins at Westminster today. Morgan McSweeney, the Chief of Staff, rang Sir Philip and said in terms stronger than those that I can use before the watershed. I think you should. Well, I'll just say that it was just to prove it with terms stronger than that. Does that accord with your impression? Just fucking approve it.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Extraordinary scenes. So, we are hot on both of these major developing stories today with Raif Hedle Mancoo, the historian. YouTube sensation and fellow at the new cultural forum he is with us for the entire show. Also coming up today, the sick king's message to the nation sparks controversy. This is only the third time outside of his Christmas messages that the king has actually spoken directly to us. So we will bring you that entire address. And ITV's plot to sack Lorraine Kelly after over four decades.
Starting point is 00:05:07 has been exposed. We'll finish the show with that today. Then in the Royal Uncanceled Aftershow, over on Sop Sack, a bombshell, new expose into the troubled lives of Prince Harry and Megan Markle reveal that the couple of blown Princess Diana's inheritance already. Honestly, this is really shocking. We're going to get into it all with Link Lauren State Side. Here's the host of the brilliant spot-on podcast. You can sign up to watch www. outspoken. Live. We'll also be revealing the worst Britain in the world today at the end of the show. Here are your nominees. has gone for Sir Khaer Stama for proving he is either a liar or incompetent or most likely both. He's also nominated Helen Maguire for her utterly shameful decision to brand her own terrified constituents as right-wing activists,
Starting point is 00:05:54 showing the staggering arrogance of your typical Lib Dem MP who would rather lecture and silence the public than address the horrific crime that has rocked the community. and I've gone for Kevin McGuire because even though the GMB and Daily Mirror figure has finally turned on slippery Starma, in my opinion, it's too little too late. Do keep your comments coming in during the show too. You can vote, by the way, on the live chat on YouTube. I'll get alerted to your super chats as we go. You'll also pop up on screen and I'll read out the best at the end of the show. So now, let's go. Okay, so this situation in Epsom is unexecutive. acceptable and unsustainable. As the upmarket Surrey town remains a Tinderbox as we come on air after the reported gang rape of a native woman outside the local Methodist church allegedly
Starting point is 00:06:49 by a group of migrants, which the police now appeared to be suggesting may not have happened at all. After years of establishment cover-ups and missing evidence, how on earth can we expect our authorities to tell us the truth. When we know that their priority remains this so-called community cohesion at almost any cost. So last night, Tommy Robinson reported there is trouble flaring in Epsom as locals were left with news of a gang rape outside a church followed by silence, then all of a sudden told nothing happened. People who had a suspected HMO housing unvetted migrant men before police drag them away. Watch. We've got six. We've got six vans. Six vans blocking this road off.
Starting point is 00:07:46 We've got six vans blocking this road off. Some of them have got their helmets on. Tommy's reporting went on. There are a chance of get them out, ringing around Epsom tonight as locals hit a hotel housing invaders at the taxpayer's expense. This is off the back of a reported gang rate. Police released no info then went on to say it never happened, leaving locals confused. watch. Now, the scenes were extraordinary. I mean, you'll remember, riots in Clapham by young kids. Nothing. No riot police. But they arrived almost immediately in Epsom, with inevitable West reporting,
Starting point is 00:08:35 the state has deployed hundreds and hundreds of riot police to shut down a peaceful protest in Epsom. Six riot vans. This is absolutely insane. Well, here's the scene at Epson tonight. Multiple arrests. At least eight vans, lots of eggs being thrown at the HMO. It's started to kick off a lot of riot police. There's a lot of people. Always on your speaker.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The police were effectively forming a ring of steel and Queen Natalie spoke for many of us when she posted as usual the police are protecting the invaders instead of the native. It's a smoke. I nearly grabbed them. Kick it back. Kick it back. So you can see the environment in Epsom.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And we understand. Because again, we're not being told. This is just like after Southport. With Axel Ruda-Gabana, we are not being told. But eventually a senior female police officer agreed to meet the locals. However, there were disastrous consequences. The Q&A with the police started reasonably. I think the frustrated locals were asking perfectly normal and sensible questions,
Starting point is 00:10:46 just asking for clarity about what exactly is going on. Watch. You also mentioned that multiple potential witnesses had been interviewed. This leads us to ask, did you not manage to get any evidence from anyone or from your house-to-house inquiries? Additionally, we are concerned that no parents... close friend or relative has come forward publicly. This raises further questions about the circumstances surrounding the case. If there is an implication that the allegation may be false, then it is reasonable to ask if action has been taken in relation to making false statements
Starting point is 00:11:33 or wasting police time. Clarity on this point would help address public concern. We have also received reports from local residents. One individual living near the church described hearing a girl screaming for help, prompting them to contact the police. Another person has stated they saw a distressed young girl in A&E, reportedly saying she had been followed
Starting point is 00:12:01 and ran to the church as a place of safety. These accounts, while anecdotal, add to the need for transparency. Okay, so what is going on then? Let's just think about that for one second. Locals heard a girl screaming outside the church, where the gang rape is believed to have taken place, was then witnessed in A&E.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Are the police really saying that this was all made up? If so, they must, must, must make that clear, especially given this footage of a furious local woman went viral last week. How did you know that? No, no, just tell me, just tell me. How'd you know? Someone's told me there was four migrants, raided her for two hours.
Starting point is 00:12:49 They've got them on this, pink ladies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the pink ladies. They have got CCTV, but they will not release it. There you go. There you go. And she knows the family. So there we go. There's the reason why they're not telling you, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Press the button, press the button. Okay, so. Given that is what locals believe, that is what locals are being told, surely the police must respond when asked the question directly. But look at what happened. Arrest made. Was arrest made? Yes or no? No. No. Right. Next question.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Right. Was the crime scene preserved and taped off at the time and what investigations have you completed? Yes or no. Answer that question. No answer it. Oh, it's too much. Fine, I've got nine of two minutes.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Every once you say we'll get it. Every time you move, I've got to move this way. Yeah, well, I've got people. I've got people. I'm talking to our meeting on Thursday. Hold you microphone to the plan. Inquiries have been conducted for the area, as have forensic inquiries and as have a number of house to house inquiries,
Starting point is 00:14:02 which I'm sure as a community you are aware of and would have assisted her officers in that investigation. So do you believe a young girl was right? I've given the answer on that. Yes or not? Yes or no? You haven't? Yes or no?
Starting point is 00:14:15 You haven't? At the quiet, you have a young girl been raped? Yes or no? You just be in louder? Please be down to see the cameras and you say there's no cameras? I've been done, John T. You can speak louder as well? Yeah, please you can't.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Let's ask the questions that we've got here and then afterwards we don't know. She said she's answered it. She said she's answered. We want to know, has someone been raped? Yes or no. Okay, so no wonder, the locals are very confused because it seems like they were saying
Starting point is 00:14:53 there was no evidence of crime had taken place, but then, and I'm about to show you this, they admitted that there was a victim. So how on earth can there be a victim if there was no crime? And then you're not going to believe what happened. that senior police woman, when the going got tough, just stormed off.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And that made things explode even more. You confirmed on Thursday a crime did take place. However, you don't have enough evidence, information. We presume the girl was medically assessed. Can you clarify this publicly? Speaking to the mic before. Yeah, so to be clear, we did not, on Thursday, confirmed that a crime had taken place.
Starting point is 00:15:36 We confirmed that an investigation is in progress and that the evidence recovered so far does not show evidence of the offence as it reported. Well, so apparently there is the fucking investigation for those that can't fucking hear. What was your deal? Yeah, the second part of that question related to the victim, it would not be right for the victim. I'm sure you can all agree to discuss with you or anything. There's a victim.
Starting point is 00:16:01 There's a victim. There's someone's daughter. That's an admittal. That's an mitigation. As far as I'm concerned, that's a mitigation. Fucking useless. Fucking useless, cuck! They're useless, babe.
Starting point is 00:16:22 So they've just taken to the side question. Fucking useless, man. They just ran away from the question time. I get it. Obviously, everyone was hounded with questions. I knew the hostility was going to come. What a miss.
Starting point is 00:16:45 So what did the Surrey police do? Send in the riot police to arrest locals. Here comes the police. Here they come. Here they come. Oh, they've dragged him off the doorstep. Whoa, whoa, wow. He's going to cause a riot.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's provocation. It's provocation. Don't fall for it. Blimey. Wow. I'm going to accept you in a shit dog. I'm not going to come past this one. As Joe McCain then reported the people of Epsom have had enough.
Starting point is 00:17:48 arrested the woman's son, and they won't let her near him. Yep, it kicked off. You look after your fucking home. He didn't even do nothing wrong. How dare you? How dare you? He didn't even do nothing wrong, and you can't manhand, you understand. A fucking boy, that's her fucking reason. And reach those no, go to your corner. Hey, can't you do anything in you, get you, no, that's her son. That's her son. You're not free to come on to.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Why? That's, that's, that's how son. He even, he even, he needs. Anything wrong either, mate? On the fucking pavement. Gov, it's her son. Let her just sit or let her be about someone, he's knocked the ball. Look at them all protecting the absolute wrong uns. Oh, oh shit, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Wait, it's a woman, man. Oh. It's a woman? So I want to thank UK Splush and all the other independent journalists who were on the scene in Epson, providing us that incredible footage, because the mainstream media, you may have noticed, are just ignoring this story. Today, and you know I will always give you both sides, the police released another statement. It was pretty nondescript.
Starting point is 00:19:30 They announced an increased policing present will remain in Epsom town centre following a protest, and subsequent disorder. The organised protest started at 5pm outside Epsom train station before escalating to public disorder when individuals targeted local hotels and residential properties with claims that these were housing people seeking asylum. This is not the case and is wholly inaccurate information. The escalating behaviour of some of the protesters and the threat to officer safety, including missiles being thrown at them, required officers to put on full protective public order uniform. Four people remain in police custody
Starting point is 00:20:03 after being arrested on suspicion of offences, including criminal damage and assaulting an emergency worker during the disorder. We recognise that this will have had an impact on local residents and businesses and neighbourhood offices will continue to engage with our communities over the coming days. While we respect the right to lawful protest, criminal offences and public disorder will not be tolerated, robust action will be taken against anyone who commits a criminal offence. We will continue to review footage of this evening's incident to identify those responsible for any further criminal offences and take appropriate action against them.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Okay, okay. But what about the migrant gang rape? Where's your focus on that? What do we know about that? The problem is, those in power in the disunited kingdom are now simply focused on ending debate. And as I say, this is all down to community cohesion.
Starting point is 00:20:58 And we've seen that with another story today, connected to Tommy Robinson, the United Kingdom Organiser, announcing that ahead of the rally, Pakistani Muslim Shibana MacMood has banned Valentina Gomez from Britain. He says the borders remain wide open to third world invaders, yet anyone speaking against the regime and a certain cult are banned. The Daily Telegraph reported she had been barred from entering the UK using the same grounds as Kanye West. Well, within hours, Gomez had announced she would still be coming to England, but she'd be doing so on a small boat.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I just got Ben from England because I'm not coming to rape or kill little girls. Plan A is for airplane, and since that's no longer an option, we're going to plan B. And plan B is for boats. So I'm going to do exactly what the rapist, pedophile Muslims do. I'm going to hop on a boat, get free, luxury accommodation, deliver my beautiful speech, and if they dare to arrest me, I guarantee you that the White House will get involved. because I'm not just coming with Jesus Christ. I'm coming with current and former soldiers of the United States military.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And if they really want to deny my entry, well, they're just going to have to stop the boats. Don't forget. England belongs to the English. See all on May 16th. Gomez then posted directly to MacMood. I expect this warm welcome when I hop off the boat. Bring me some fish and chips. Don't forget the bacon.
Starting point is 00:22:25 And she attached this video. where boats have been coming in all day around 30 boats have arrived already today there's a couple of charitable organisations on the ground here one of whom is offering immediate medical assistance many of the people are coming off obviously very cold very wet and some are in shop and there's also another organisation here who are offering food and water to the people coming off the boats before they make their way up a little way up the road from here to a camp where they can stop the processing registration process. Yeah, so that's our Home Secretary.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Footage I've used a lot. But before she pretend to be tough on the borders, she used to go to Europe to welcome illegal migrants. Some really bad people are celebrating this ban as a huge win for British Muslims, like Bushra Sheikh, who dishonestly described UTK as a Tommy Robinson hate march. So it turns out that that that, absolute wretch of a woman, Valentina Gomez, has had access denied to come to the UK. She was so excited, wasn't she, when she said, oh, look, I've got my visa.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And then our home office said, no, sorry, we don't want hateful individuals entering our country. Huge win for British Muslims, huge win for the UK. I'm not even going to pretend that I'm not happy about it. She is a cretin, absolute scumbag of an individual because she just spreads hatred wherever she goes about Muslims. There's women that you're really going to despise them Valentina Gomez. It's top tier on that list, I'd say. She was excited, wasn't she, to come to the hate march? Tommy Robinson's hate march.
Starting point is 00:24:10 She's excited for it. Let's see she really turns up on a boat. You know, if she's going to dare to take some of the perilous routes and journeys that refugees, and migrants are forced to take because people like Valentina Gomez are warmongers as well themselves. They love bombing Muslim countries and Muslims and then they cry about refugees afterwards.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Stuff you, Valentina Gomez. Now, you don't have to agree with Valentina Gomez. You might find her language gauche even, but we cannot be in a situation where this corrupted government continues to ban people who they disagree with for entering the country. And I look very closely today,
Starting point is 00:24:54 but I can tell you that weak source reform UK has not spoken up at all on this issue, even though they are attempting to win the deportation war ahead of the election next month. When Basil the Great, reported Reform UK announced they will only deport five years of illegal migrants. This means only illegal migrants that arrive after July 2024 will be deported, but all those before will not be included, absolute letdown.
Starting point is 00:25:19 The UK responded officially writing, this is just more fake news. As per Nigel Farage's tweet, our announcement is on top of the 600,000 illegals we will already deport. Perhaps you should learn to read. This new policy is solely about those who have already been granted asylum. And what is clear is that Farage, ahead of the vote, is upping his rhetoric. You say migrants in hotels should be deported. Where should they be deported to if their country isn't safe? if another country were except them. I'm sorry, I've had enough of this. If you come from Afghanistan,
Starting point is 00:25:53 you go back to Afghanistan. End of. This idea we can't send people to certain countries, all the false claims that people make about their own personal lives. I'm sorry, we're done. We're done. We've had enough. Enough. As Rob Esk put it, I may disagree with Restore Britain potentially splitting the right-wing vote, but I can tell you, with 100% certainty, that Nigel Farage would not be saying this, were it not for Rupert Lowe's movement. And of course, that is horrifying. the leftist crazies like Green Party member the only thing reform have got because they're becoming more and more desperate
Starting point is 00:26:27 because they're losing in the polls. Now all they've got is, oh, look over there. There's a foreigner. Let's blame them. Oh, let's deport an immigrant. That's all they've got. They've got nothing else. And they've come out with this figure of 400,000.
Starting point is 00:26:38 They don't even know the exact figure. They haven't even accounted for the costs or how they're going to deport 400,000 people who've been granted refugee status, but we're going to get rid of them. Actually, the vast majority of Brits, do not want Trump-style ice-style politics in this country where they're going to be dragging people out their beds,
Starting point is 00:26:55 dragging people out there, workplaces, and actually putting them in some kind of barracks and flying them back out. Who's going to pay for that, Zia? And using language like invasion, and it's just one-trick ponies. You've got nothing else. And at this stage, it's actually quite embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I'm embarrassed for you. But the Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe is clear that despite the outrage from the open borders lobbyists, Farage is still not going far enough, backing Elon Musk's claim yesterday that the Reform UK boss is now controlled opposition. So low posted, Farage can't hide behind pathetic accusations of racism to defend his choice to stand a Bangladeshi migrant in Portsmouth. I'm sure Adi Asad Duserman is a great bloke and I wish him well in his election if that election is in Bangladesh. English elections for British people. I want to make Restore Britain's
Starting point is 00:27:49 position on illegal migrants abundantly clear. Every single one would go. If you've come here illegally or stayed here illegally, you will be deported. And yes, that includes women and children. Other parties are too scared to mention them. Reform have said they won't deport women, not part of our plan for the next government, Farage says, that is a mistake. They all need to go. It won't be particularly pleasant viewing, but it needs to happen. Restore Britain has produced and released the most comprehensive policy on mass deportations ever devised in British history. A version for legal immigration is currently being worked on setting out our vision for the red list. What we are recommending to implement is an unprecedented level of removal, along with our changes to legal immigration,
Starting point is 00:28:33 millions will go. When I first started talking about this in Parliament, it was heresy. I was insulted and abused. Reform tried to put me in prison because of it. My home was late-night raided by police because Farage didn't like the fact I wanted to deport Pakistani rapists. I stand by every single word I said. Millions must go. Under a restore Britain government, millions will go. I promise you that. For analysis, let me bring in Rafe Hadle Mancoo. Rafe, I want to turn immediately to this absolutely shocking situation that we've now got in Epson. You know, quite an upmarket town in Surrey, which is currently being totally torn apart as the police seem to be suggesting that this reported gang rape outside of the Methodist Church may have been made up. But, Rafe, none of this
Starting point is 00:29:31 made sense last night, because at the same time, the police officer is referring to the woman in question as a victim. What do you think is going on here, Raif, and do you understand why locals are convinced that there is a cover-up at play. Yeah, I mean, if you wanted a casebook scenario of how not to handle a situation and how to actually inflame the community, this is exactly it. This situation has been created by Surrey police and their silence at first, and then what they have said after that, and it's completely eroded public trust. But let's look at this use of the term victim, because when the police use the term
Starting point is 00:30:07 victim, it doesn't mean there is a victim. Any person who claims to be raped is immediately described as a victim, even if there's no evidence or proof of this. In fact, men's rights activists have long campaigned against this, saying it's not fair to call someone who's alleging rape a victim when actually they could be making up the case. And women do make up rape allegations, right? There's a very recent story we had a few weeks or months ago of a very nice good Samaritan who saw a woman stranded in the rain. He gave her a lift home. She was drunk. She began making advances on him, which he declined very politely, dropped her off,
Starting point is 00:30:44 and then she made a rape allegation because I guess she was outraged by this. Luckily, he had a camera in the car, and the whole thing was recorded. So this stuff does happen. But we don't know whether that was the case here, whether there was no rape, whether this was a drunk woman who made it up, or whether the police have covered up. Because the police have been silent, which raises questions, and they've been evasive in their answers. Look, we live in an era where there is,
Starting point is 00:31:09 much CCTV it's impossible for there not to be footage and evidence of this you know whenever there's a murder investigation the next day normally you have images of people the police looking for this suspect so to go so long without anything here means either there's nothing happening or they don't want to reveal the footage the only way they can really clear this up is by having a press conference and showing the CCTV footage from outside the church this is supposed to have happened between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. That's the quietest part of the evening. So it should be easy to identify anybody walking on that street and seeing this. And, you know, just two hours. You can put it on fast forward. There's no excuse for actually not showing this now to the public, to restore trust
Starting point is 00:31:54 in the public. And the police are there also apologize and say, look, no information is worse than transparency. This leads to things like Southport. We're sorry. We've done it again. Here is the evidence. A hundred percent. A hundred percent because the problem is, Raif, there is very good reason for us to not trust the police when it comes to these scenarios in terms of trying to protect specific communities. I mean, we've seen it with the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs on an almost industrial scale. But Rafe, I also actually want to talk to you about the policing decisions which Surrey police are making. Because again, this looks to me, Raif, as another example of two-tier police see. We literally see in Clapham and I know they're different forces. We've got the Metroval
Starting point is 00:32:40 and Police, the Surrey Police, but you literally see these young hood rats running riot in Clapham with virtually no police officers there night after night. Yet in the case of Epsom, we have riot police being sent in in six vans. And I would argue, Rafe, that this type of heavy-handed approach is actually inflaming the tensions in Epsom? That's precisely what it's doing. It's absolutely inflaming the tensions and eroding police trust. But this is what we see time and time again,
Starting point is 00:33:19 two-tier policing, wholly in action. When you get riots, as we had 10 years ago, the Tottenham riots, when you've got what's happening in Clapham, what is it due to? It's due to poverty. Oh, we have to understand the reasons. This is what the politicians say. We have to find the reasons.
Starting point is 00:33:35 for people to act this way and riot. There are no youth clubs around, that's why it is. I'm sorry, when people are rioting for real reasons, that they're not trying on different pairs of shoes and shops, when real rioting for actual political reasons has a motivation, there's not to basically go window shopping quite literally by breaking windows. But when well-meaning people protest, as in Southport, as in Epsom, suddenly they are far-right thugs.
Starting point is 00:34:00 There's no attempt from the political class to say, well, we must understand the root causes of this. Why? Because the root causes of this are mass immigration. They would have to admit that there's a problem in our society, a problem that was created by the very same political class that still want to address it. And the reason that you've got the right police, and the reason you're having attempts to silence people and silence people on social media and elsewhere,
Starting point is 00:34:27 is because the political class believe that the only way you can stop this country kicking off is by silencing the truth tellers. That's why we're having our tweets silenced. That's why there are riot police trying to shut down, rightful, lawful protest because they're scared of people standing up and pointing out
Starting point is 00:34:45 that the emperor has no clothes, that diversity has been an unmitigated disaster, the sorts of super diversity we see today, and they're scared that if things do kick off, that Britain is such a tinderbox waiting to go off, they won't be able to handle it. So only by silencing us can they hope to keep this multicultural band
Starting point is 00:35:02 wagon on the road. Because, Rafe, you saw what happened when that senior police officer from the Surrey police was actually asked the type of questions that I would ask. So did the rape take place? What do you mean that you're saying there's a victim? Is there CCTV footage? She walked off. And look, I do understand, Rafe, that some of the language being used, and you know, I can be a little bit sweary when I'm angry, so I'm hardly one to criticize. But yeah, some of the language being used, maybe in a discussion with the police, Rafe, might not be the type of language that you advocate in a civil society,
Starting point is 00:35:35 but people are angry. And the problem is, Rafe, the moment that she walked off, what we saw happen was the tension got much greater. And there was a risk of violence. Why could she not keep engaging, Rafe? I think she should have.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I'll tell you why. This is all because of political correctness. This is what happens when political correctness meets reality. She's so trained into calling rape claimants victims at the outset, before there's even been any proof of it, that they can't get out of that mentality. But using the word victim has suddenly enraged the audience into saying, well, that's proof. There was a victim.
Starting point is 00:36:17 So obviously there's a cover-up. And then they ask her, was there actually a rape? Now, for all we know, there was no rape. And the policewoman, I don't know, I don't know if there was a rape or not, but let's say there was no rape. The policewoman knows there wasn't a rape, but out of political correctness, can't actually say, I don't think there really was a rape, because that's not doing justice to this alleged victim who could have been a fraudulent, a ledger. So rather than get into a situation where you've now demonized this woman for perhaps making up this allegation, she has refused to answer the question. If they do think it was a vexatious claim of rape, they need to come out pretty fast and say it now, because community tensions,
Starting point is 00:36:57 should take priority over this. You have an entire region, entire city, being inflamed over this, and it's a place that's normally so placid and quiet. If you can enrage the people of Epsom, my God, you've really gone too far. Exactly, exactly right. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:37:14 If it is a vexatious claim, that's a crime. That is a crime. And I am someone who doesn't do two-tier justice. If the police really believe that someone has made this up, then follow through. Do you know what I mean? Follow through.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You go the whole way and you prove to us that this is some type of Carl Beach scenario. Because I'm with you, people can make things up. But, Rafe, I'm also looking at the facts on the ground. And I'm listening to the locals saying that they actually heard screams outside the church. I'm listening to locals say that they actually saw the victim inside A&E. And for me... It seems very surprising. It seems very, very surprising.
Starting point is 00:38:00 But what I am sick and tired of, and I completely agree with you on this raf, is a total lack of transparency when it comes to these types of crimes. We need the police to actually be telling us what's going on. I am sick of this. I am sick of this because nine times out of 10, the silence raf is used to shut us up for political reasons. Yeah, there's absolutely what's happening here. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I mean, look, I've got no more information than anybody else does. The police have to realize time and time again that silence is not the answer. In fact, you know, the police are obligated now. So the College of Policing has come out officially and said police forces need to immediately identify the race or ethnicity of alleged assailants or criminals in these sorts of cases. in order to precisely avoid scenes, as we're now seeing in Epsom and in Southport. Remember, in Southport, the police refused to do that. We were deliberately gaslit over Southport.
Starting point is 00:39:07 The police tried to describe Axel Ruda-Kubana as a Welsh choir boy to dispel any connection to the asylum. And the media took this up. The media remember said, oh, he's a Welsh choir boy. He was born here. This isn't linked to the asylum system. And that was used to immediately denigrate. the protesters saying that they're acting on misinformation. Well, no, he was the child of an asylum
Starting point is 00:39:31 seeker. And something I've been saying for years and years and years is that the children of asylum seekers are just as likely to commit violent sexual assault or terrorism or have mental health issues as their parents who are the real asylum seekers. So this attempt to try to disconnect him from the asylum system was completely wrong and was deliberately put forward by the police to try to dispel the situation. We are being gaslit. You know, asylum seekers and their children have been responsible for most of the terror attacks in this country over the last decade. And this is another attempt to gaslight, I would say, in silence debate, if it's proven, of course, that they do have images of these people. And the only way you can restore trust is to actually come out with a statement saying, look, we didn't believe this woman, but we have to launch an investigation against it.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And the proof is here, the CCTV evidence, which we can all show you now, and we'll put it on YouTube or whatever. and you can scroll through all two hours between two and four. Only that way, I think, can they hope to regain some sort of trust, although maybe it's too late. Taxi for Stama, not my words, although it is something I have said for months and months now, but rather from one of his closest allies in the mainstream media, Kevin McGuire, one of those cruttons from Good Morning Britain and the Daily Mirror
Starting point is 00:40:53 who pushed this traitor on our country. has now admitted that slippery Stammer just must go. That was after Olly Robbins' evidence today, which he said was utterly devastating. But after that post, I couldn't help but reply to Maguire, demanding he apologize and saying that this is on people like him. And people like Victoria Newton, the editor of the son, which endorsed Stammer knowing full well what he was like.
Starting point is 00:41:25 But Maguire really has now gone for Slippery Stama, saying looks like sitting behind Olly Robbins is the general secretary of the FDA civil service mandarin's union, Dave Penman. At this rate, it may be the PM, who most needs his trade union's legal services. But as Adam Brooks pointed out, will this make your front page? Then tomorrow, you've been extremely protective over the last five days, even today's front page backs for Stama. That's right, the Daily Mirror, really the last holdout,
Starting point is 00:41:50 given it is the Guardian, another Stama supporter, which first, broke this story. Kevin McGuire then revealed a message from a Labor MP watching Olly Robbins, who said he's fucked Kev, it's done. The he, of course, is Keir Stama. Now, what became clear this morning is that something is most certainly changing. The most senior figures within Labor are now deserting slippery Stama as Ed Miliband went on Woke ITV and then Sly News to throw the Prime Minister under the bus knowing full well that he is now unsackable. My argument isn't that it was rushed. My argument is that Kirstama knew this stuff before, right?
Starting point is 00:42:36 We knew that Maldson had been sacked twice. We knew that he had a relationship with a convicted paedophile. We knew that he had a lobbying company with links to Chinese firms, right? We knew this stuff. So you're saying you should never have been appointed? Yeah. And I agree with you. But that's Kirstama's fault, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:51 Not. Well, yeah, and he said that. But look, he's lost their jobs, right? The Chief of Staff has lost the job. Ollie Robbins has lost his job. The head of the civil servants has lost his job. The Director of Communications has lost his job. Should Kirstama lose his job?
Starting point is 00:43:06 He was the one who made the error, as you admit? Well, I don't think so, no. Obviously, I don't, because I think Prime Ministers make errors. Prime Ministers are fallible. Prime Minister is a human. You know, as you know, I steered well clear of Peter Mandelson when I became Labour leader in 2010. But people make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:43:32 And, you know, the point about a mistake is, do you fess up to it and say, yeah, I made an error? And he couldn't have been, you know, he's been clear on a number of occasions, including yesterday in the House of Commons. But look, I don't want to say to your viewers, this isn't damaging. Or, you know, we've got most of the war in Iran. We've got everything else going on. I'm trying to protect both our energy supplies and prices. Which we will get to.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Which we'll get to. But, you know, so I'm not coming on here and pretending it's all fine or it's not damaging. Of course it's damaging. You said that that you stayed clear of Peter Anderson when you were a legal leader. What went through your mind when you saw it had been appointed as US ambassador? Well, that it could blow up. That it could go wrong. Did you say that to anyone?
Starting point is 00:44:19 I had a conversation with David Lammy about it before the appointment. and I said I was worried about it. I do not to say one thing, though, which is... What did David Lame say then? Well, I think he was worried about it too. The rats are deserting the sinking ship. As Dan Hodges, the Labour columnist for the Mail on Sunday, post after watching that interview,
Starting point is 00:44:44 there appears to be something going on this morning. Labor MPs are starting the process of uncircling the wagons. Then we come to Ollie Robbins, And I watched every second of this evidence to the select committee so you didn't have to. And it was completely and utterly damning of Stama. Given he revealed the senior Mandarin running the foreign office revealed that it was not even ever a given that Mandelson would be vetted at all. I'm afraid I don't think at the point of his appointment and four days thereafter it was actually a given that he would be vetted. Again, if you look at the documents submitted under the Humble Address, there is no stipulation from Number 10 that he should be vetted.
Starting point is 00:45:34 The welcome that was sent to him immediately afterwards doesn't say welcome to the floor enough to subject to vetting. The announcement put out on the 20th of December says that he will be out early in the new year. It does not say subject to vetting. The contract does, though. The contract issued to him after he says. he was vetted, says that he must maintain his clearance. So did mine. Conservative Party leader Kemi Bainanoch immediately responded the evidence from Olli Robbins is devastating to Kirstama. It is clear that number 10 not only made the
Starting point is 00:46:06 appointment before vetting was completed, but that Mandelson was already acting as the ambassador before the vetting, even seeing highly classified documents. With this and the constant pressure number of 10 applied to the appointment and their dismissive attitude to vetting Mandelson, it is now absolutely clear that full due process was not followed Kier Stama has misled the house, but I responded to Baden Oxane, yes he did, but you've got to do the next thing, Kimmy. He's got to go. If he misleads the house, he's got to go. Robbins then spoke of this direct pressure which had come from number 10. Was there other pressure put on you or put on the foreign office? I think throughout January, honestly, my office, the Foreign Secretary's
Starting point is 00:46:52 office were under constant pressure. There was an atmosphere of constant chasing. Daily phone calls. I couldn't say for certain daily, but I mean certainly very frequent from private office to private office. Has this been delivered yet? Never any interest, as far as I recall in weather, but only an interest in when. So when you say private office to private office, you're saying private office of number 10? Yes, I am. I like the take from former Prime Minister Liz Truss. It's a blob, eat blob world.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Then one of the real bombshells, apologies for the language, but look at what he'd said. Look at what Morgan McSweeney had said. On behalf of Slippery Stama, watch. reported by, I think it's Sam Coates, that Morgan McSweeney, the chief of staff, rang Sir Philip and said in terms stronger than those that I can use before the watershed. I think you should. Well, I'll just say that it was just to prove it with terms stronger than that. Does that accord with your impression?
Starting point is 00:48:11 Does that fucking approve it? Does it accord with your impression when you took over from Sir Philip? I think I recall Philip saying to me, certainly Philip's handover to me has contributed to my strong sense that there was an atmosphere of pressure and a certain dismissiveness about this DV process, which I hope I've tried already to. Just fucking approve it. It got worse, though. Can you believe it? It got worse. I mean, Labour, if you can say one thing for lying labour, they look after their paedophile supporting mates.
Starting point is 00:48:46 because Matthew Doyle, remember, he's the other dude who supported a Labour paedophile and had to quit as communications chief for Slippery Stama, was nearly parachuted into a major foreign job behind the back of the Foreign Secretary. There were several discussions initiated by number 10 with me about potentially finding a head of mission opportunity for Matthew Doyle, who was then the Prime Minister's Director of Communications. And I was under strict instruction not to discuss that with the then Foreign Secretary, which was uncomfortable. But the context here, Mr. Morello, I was still in my early months in the job, but I'd already concluded, as indeed I think I gave evidence to this committee about not long afterwards, that the Foreign Office needed quite serious reform. I was in the process of talking to the top team about quite a profound restructuring, involving job law. and I was I found it very hard to think how I would explain to the office what the credentials of Matthew were to be in an important head of mission role when I was in danger of making very senior very experienced diplomats leave the office so I mean
Starting point is 00:50:07 after a couple of you know I did my duty I looked at the forward look of available jobs I I shared with number 10 what some of those might be it was to be honest hard to find something that I thought might be suitable but in but I also felt quite uncomfortable about it and I kept giving advice that I thought this was um this was this would be very hard for the office and was hard for me personally to defend so of your question obviously given what we're talking about today is about the interaction with vetting that didn't arise because Matthew was already in post labor columnist Dan Hodges was watching that and said it's hard to see how robin's evidence could be more devastating for
Starting point is 00:50:46 He's made clear beyond doubt. Number 10 decided Mandelson had to be appointed come what may. Everything Stama has said about due diligence in relation to the process of his appointment has been a lie. Stama told the house yesterday. If he'd known Mandelson had failed vetting, he would never had appointed him. We know the truth is number 10 were pushing to get him appointed without any proper vetting at all. He then published this column for the mail. It's time for Stama to read. realize the game is up, Olly Robbins has just destroyed his premiership with a smoking bazooker. And Freedom Fighter Lucy Connolly said, all joking aside, if Stama doesn't go after this morning's revelations that he's, then he's never going. And we're in this for the long haul.
Starting point is 00:51:32 If he does go today, after this then, husband, I expect a bottle of bolly on ice when I get home from work this evening, just saying, and look, there's loads of rumors. You know there's loads of rumours going around about comings and goings from number 10. My view is that Stama will hang on for dear life for as long as he possibly can. But the problem is what you can't deny now is that slippery Stama is a liar. And it's funny because I was thinking earlier, I mean, I never agree with Anna Sawa. You know, alongside whom's are useless, he was the guy who went into the Scottish Parliament and said, white, white, white, you know, he's an anti-white racist.
Starting point is 00:52:12 But he was completely correct when he earlier this year said Stama has to go and all of his colleagues bottled it and they are all traitors to our country as a result. And again, I find myself agreeing with Diane Abbott and now Zara Solana, the kooky madwoman from your party. Watch. He pointed him. He defended him. and now he claims to know nothing. He is gas-slicing the nation. So let's call this out for what it is. The Prime Minister is a bare-faced liar. And if you hadn't decency left. Order. Order. Order. Sit and leave. Leave now. I'll name you otherwise. I'd go now, if I were you.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Leave. I'm not, leave. I've been, I've no name. I've given the option to leave. I'd leave if I were you very quickly. Move before I read it and give me one option. Right. A minute. You have no duties. It's my duty to out and control this house. One chance. Do you want to leave no or not? Right. I name Zara Sultanah. Minister, I beg to move that the name, the said member, be suspended from the House. Mr. Speaker, call Jane Ketchum. I beg to move that Zara and Sotana be suspended from the service of the House. The question is that Zara Sultanah be named and leave this House. All those in favour?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Aye. Wait, I'm sorry you've done this. I really am. Right. Come on, really. I'm just reading our live chat, Kenny Evans, writing No Truth Aloud. And that's true, isn't it? Because Sultana was being completely accurate.
Starting point is 00:54:03 He is a liar. And the MSM, of course, is still trying to chill for Slippery Stimer even now. Look at Leander. being accused on sly news after he also was suspended from the House or had to leave the House for refusing to withdraw the fact that Stama is a liar. What evidence do you have that the Prime Minister lied? My inbox. That's all the evidence I need. My inbox is full of people absolutely furious with our Prime Minister.
Starting point is 00:54:35 They're saying that he's lying, is misleading the British public, is misleading in Parliament. And you know what? What evidence do you have? Well, listen. Well, listen. Oh, there was evidence on the front of the independent. Or believe. There was evidence on the front of the independent newspaper
Starting point is 00:54:49 about seven or eight months ago to say that Mandelson had failed the vetting procedure. Now, are you seriously telling me that the Prime Minister, his staff, his advisers, none of his MPs read that newspaper on that day? But he was given clearance.
Starting point is 00:55:05 He was subsequently given clearance. Yeah, well, that just shows how many problems they've got That's the point if you're talking about lie. I mean, he's saying he didn't know Mandelson failed vetting because the Foreign Office didn't tell him. He said he knew about the due diligence, but not about the security vetting.
Starting point is 00:55:23 It's absolute nonsense. The book stopped for the Prime Minister. If people aren't telling him, then he's in the wrong job. Okay, to Rafe Hedal-Manku now, Raif, if Slippery Stama has even one on-reux, bone in his body, given he has been completely exposed as a charlatan, as a fraud, as everything that he claimed to be against when he came into number 10 Downing Street and
Starting point is 00:55:55 promised to clean things up, if he had one honorable bone in his body, he would be a number 10 Downing Street right now, revealing that he's got to go. And there has been some speculation about that, but I do just wonder if it's wishful thinking, Rafe, because this is a man who I don't think does have one honourable bone in his body. I agree. He is the dishonourable, he's the right dishonourable, Kirste Stama. The problem is he has spent so long convincing himself that he is morally righteous, in fact, that he is morally superior to everybody else, that I actually think he hasn't, he believes he hasn't done anything wrong. I really think he has been, he His level of delusion and those around him is such that they think these progressive leftists
Starting point is 00:56:43 that they are basically whiter than Virgin Snow. But of course, he got elected promising to not be like the Tories and the Tory slees. Well, I'm sorry, everything he's done is a hundred times worse than Cake Gate, if you remember, everything he was saying about Boris Johnson having to resign because Boris walked into an office at 10 Downing Street where there was a surprise birthday for him. he lifted a piece of cake for 10 seconds, and for that he had to resign. Well, I'm sorry, the catalogue of offences that Stama has committed now and in the past far exceed all of that.
Starting point is 00:57:18 This is a Prime Minister who is fighting for his professional life. I did think, I do still think he will last until the May elections, and he will be got rid of after the May elections. I think the Labour Party don't want to get rid of a Prime Minister so soon to an election. But after Olli Robbins' testimony, well, I'm not. I'm not so sure whether he will last that long. I mean, this is the thing. Stama, Honourable Starer, said that he looks after his team.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Well, he's been firing and getting rid of anybody to save his own skin. He wanted Olly Robbins to be a sacrificial lamb. Instead, he created the worst possible witness, a man who has an acute attention to detail and who has delivered a damning indictment of a prime minister who was preoccupied by cronyism and who campaigned on integrity, and a man who was all about the process allegedly. Kirst Stahmer is all about the process. I was, you know, the former head of prosecutions.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Well, I'm sorry. Everything that Olly Robinson said is that Stama was trying to evade the process at all times, trying to sidestep the foreign office process. In fact, we now know that he did mislead Parliament because actually he had put confidential documents in front of Peter Mandelson ahead of being approved as the ambassador. So everything that he has done has actually been a violation of what he told Parliament and if you mislead Parliament, you have to resign. I don't see actually how he can get away with this in Parliament. He does have to resign, but I don't think the Labour Party are going to back it or back any vote of no confidence.
Starting point is 00:58:49 But of course, we also have the case that despite all this, he's also fully in another scandal about giving an ambassadorship to Matthew Doyle, his head of communications. This is in another new scandal to add on to the old one, a man who was given a Labour period, but now have the whip taken away because of his endorsement of a sex offender, I mean, it's all, the bodies are all piling up now. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And the thing is, I think for political reasons, most senior labour figures who want his job, so we're talking Mad Miliband, we're talking Red Rayner, the tax evader, we're talking weird streeting, want him to hang on, shoulder the responsibility for what is going to be a historic loss.
Starting point is 00:59:37 at the elections next month and then rebuild the party. But that's not good enough. That's not good enough to leave that type of credulous man in power for another day. It really cannot happen. Breaking today, the cancer-stricken and desperately ill, King Charles III, is about to make only the third address to the nation of his troubled reign outside of his Christmas messages to mark what is a bittersweet day, not just for the British royal family, but also the wider disunited kingdom. This day was meant to mark an unprecedented celebration, the 100th birthday
Starting point is 01:00:21 of our greatest ever monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Instead, a depleted frontline royal family reeling from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's arrest and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's seriously damaging fake royal tour of Australia gathered today to mark the event. And there was a full turnout of working royals at Buckingham Palace. There we see it. Where William and Catherine
Starting point is 01:00:48 honored other centenarians. And there was a delightful moment, actually, when the Royal's shining star, look at this, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, shared a very emotional, emotional moment with the 88-year-old George Cross hero, Tony Glead Hill, and look, she just guides his hands away away from her hips, which I do understand. He later told reporters that was delightful that his wife had recently died,
Starting point is 01:01:20 but had said to him beforehand that he must attend the palace event regardless. Now, some members of the royal family had earlier been at the British Museum for the unveiling of this statue of Queen Elizabeth II, which has become very controversial. We'll get into that shortly. I also want to show you before we get to Charles the official pictures, which have been released to Mark Queen Elizabeth II's incredible life. The Royal Family simply posted alongside four images showing the breadth of her reign, remembering her magic. Queen Elizabeth 2nd, 1926 to 2022. Meanwhile, Megan Markle today decided to send out crappy merchandise to her social media followers.
Starting point is 01:02:21 She can never just keep quiet, can you? Can she? But we are now standing by to hear from the king. Immediately afterwards, we will get analysis from royal historian Rafe Haidle-Manku. But what I can tell you about this address to the nation, as I say, only the third time that he has recorded something outside of the Christmas message as King. And this was pre-recorded at the library of Belmoral, a very special place, of course,
Starting point is 01:02:55 for the late King because of the connection to his mother. He was feeling very emotional. And he is clearly unwell during this video. You can see it. That is understandable, given his ongoing treatment for terminal cancer. Indeed, if you listen carefully, you will note that filming had to be paused several times. This has been covered up with images of the late queen, but they've done a very bad job with the audio. Because you can absolutely see that there are stops and starts.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Weirdly, none of this has been reported by the MSM or the Royal Rota. So, on what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday, let's now hear from King Charles III. It's been my beloved mother's 100th birthday. My family and I pause to reflect on the life and loss of a sovereign who meant so much to us all and to celebrate anew the many blessings of her memory. Queen Elizabeth's promise with destiny kept, shaped the world around her, and touched the lives of countless people across our nation, the Commonwealth and beyond. Her near century was one of remarkable change, and yet through each passing decade, through every transformation, she remained constant, steadfast, and wholly devoted.
Starting point is 01:04:32 to the people she served. Millions will remember her for moments of national significance, many others for a fleeting personal encounter, a smile, a kind word that lifted spirits, or for that marvellous twinkle of the eye when sharing a marmalade sandwich with Paddington Bear
Starting point is 01:04:59 in the final months of her life. Much about the times we now live in, I suspect, may have troubled her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail and that a brighter dawn is never far from the horizon. For, as a young Princess Elizabeth put it in her first ever public broadcast, age just 14, we can each play our power. to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place. It is a belief which I share with all my heart.
Starting point is 01:05:43 So, young or old, and whatever our differences, let us therefore seek to follow this example as we make today not the marking of a milestone felt by absence, but the celebration of a life well-lived. and a legacy of hope as we strive together towards a better, happier tomorrow, one rooted in peace, justice, prosperity and security. In this I renew my own solemn pledge of duty and service to you all. God bless you, darling, Mama.
Starting point is 01:06:29 You remain forever in our heart. and prayers. Okay, so that is King Charles the third's address to the nation, straight to Rafe Hadle-Manku. Okay, so the big news really at the end there, Rafe, King Charles making a solemn pledge
Starting point is 01:06:53 to duty and service. So anyone who was even countenance, and I know you've always been opposed to this, Rafe, we've discussed it, but you know there has been a lot of speculation about a potential abdication because of his ongoing health battle.
Starting point is 01:07:08 my reading of that rave is he is saying absolutely not. I will not abdicate no matter how unwell I'm going to be and I will continue serving just like my late mother did. That was my reading of the main newsline out of that rave. Do you think that is what the king is saying there? Absolutely. It's what I've been saying for months now. It's what I said on your channel and many other channels. For the king and for the queen, abdication is an impossibility.
Starting point is 01:07:38 doesn't exist in our constitution for a start. There was a brief aberration in 1936 with Edward VIII, but it's not part of our system. And for the queen and for the king, the coronation service was a deeply spiritual moment. The king is a deeply profound Christian. I know people have their own views, many of our views disagree, but there's no evidence.
Starting point is 01:07:59 You know, the Orthodox faith is the faith he will be more likely to convert to if he were ever to leave Anglicanism. He was madly in love with the Orthodox Christian faith, spends time at Monastery, and he regarded the coronation as a sacrament, like becoming a priest, the queen felt the same way. This is a job for life. And they regarded as a covenant, a covenant between God and the monarch, and between the monarch and the people. And you don't just break that on a whim. I do say abdication will become something of a norm in Britain with possibly the reign of King William. I think he will be
Starting point is 01:08:31 the first king to abdicate at around 70 or 75 to ensure that we have young monarchs coming to the throne rather than just a series of elderly monarchs. But no, the King, King Charles III, will not abdicate. Rave, the elephant in the room, of course, that the mainstream media doesn't talk about, and I know you feel deeply uncomfortable about it, is the King's health. But you can just see, Rave, that he's not a well man. Robert Jobson, who is the King's biographer, has revealed that he will be stopping his cancer treatment in order to travel. next week to the US for the state visit. Do you think it's right, Rafe, that there is this cone of silence in the mainstream media
Starting point is 01:09:17 where we can see the decline of this man. We know that he is going through regular cancer treatment, but it's just the elephant in the room that is not discussed. Well, I've actually had some soundings on this recently, and I've reached out to people who are more in the know than I am and who's spoken to be quite frankly and candidly. And what they've said is actually the king is stable. He looks tired.
Starting point is 01:09:41 He looks haggard. But that's just what you would expect someone to look like if they were going through this particularly rough treatment that he's going through. But that there is no reason for us to have any urgent worries or something imminent happening or anything like that. He's managing his care as best he can. And there's no reason for us to have any sort of undue alarm or concern. I can only go with the people who I trust as being more in the know than I am.
Starting point is 01:10:09 And actually the fact that he's willing to stop his treatment briefly to go to America rather supports that argument. Because if things were so dire, you wouldn't travel firstly so far and you wouldn't stop your treatment. Rave, is it really acceptable that the King did not mention anything to do with Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, the ongoing investigation, the police, the victims of Epstein. Is it correct that he did not say a thing about that, apart from alluding, and we'll come to this, but to the late Queen not being happy with the troubled, deeply troubling times that the world is in? Or would you say it would have been inappropriate for him to address that in any way?
Starting point is 01:10:57 Well, imagine someone is alive and you'll say, happy birthday. Well, congratulations on reaching 100. It's a shame about your perverted son, isn't it? You don't say things like that in a very nice tribute to a woman who's turned 100. I would have been amazed and it would have been just inconceivable that he would have mentioned anything negative by name in a tribute paid to a woman, of course, who served the country loyally for 70 years as monarch,
Starting point is 01:11:22 longer even if you consider her time as princess. It's one of the rare moments that the monarchy has had recently to have a good news story and celebrate something positive. The queen was obviously the greatest weapon in the monarchy's arsenal. And this wouldn't be an occasion when you want to have reminders of the less savoury and more appalling aspects of recent history. The other big controversial issue, and I'm just looking to what he specifically said here, because I just want to quote it correctly, Rafe. But he said much about the times we now live in, I suspect, may have troubled her,
Starting point is 01:12:01 referring to the late queen deeply. But I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail. Now, that has been a very controversial comment, Rafe, because the late Queen Elizabeth the second always stayed out of politics. And it was one of the reasons why her reign was so successful. What do you think the king is referring to? Is he referring to the Trump administration? Is he referring to the war in Iran? Is he referring to civil unrest here in the United What would be troubling? I mean, gosh, there's a lot that I'm troubled about. Of course, we're in troubled times. But this was a bit of an odd one to me, seeming to want to use his mother to make a political message to suggest the world is not in a good place.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Well, the world isn't in a good place. I mean, the one thing that unites the left and the right is that we both think the world is going to hell in a handbasket, albeit for very different reasons. But we're all unhappy. wherever you are with the political spectrum, we are in a very unhappy place. The words he chose were very deliberate. They were obviously not identifying anything in particular. And it's actually,
Starting point is 01:13:11 it's not out of keeping with what the Queen would say in her Christmas messages, which she herself wrote with her royal household. She would have used a term like that without being specific, because it's not overtly political. It's just acknowledging something. What do you think he's referring to?
Starting point is 01:13:26 Well, you know, it's not for me to put words into the king's mouth. It could very well be the fact that the queen would have been upset to have war for the first time in Europe since the second world war, the longest war, rather, to have what's happening with Israel and Gaza probably, but with the Iranian situation as well. I've never known a more febrile and dangerous time in my life, which is now half a century I've been on this world. This is the most dangerous time. So we can speculate as much as we want. We simply don't know. And I'm not going to put words into the king's mouth.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Okay, Tina Brown, you know she is the very well-connected royal author. She has published a new substact with some very interesting detail ahead of the state visit to America yesterday, Rafe. I just wanted to run through some of the key parts of it with you. She writes, as the UK celebrates the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's birth this week, her pristine legacy might ultimately be seen as a steaming pile of gilded adieu that threatens to bury her descent. Her seven decades on the throne, three reigns worth of time, inevitably fossilised the monarchy and insulated it from change. Elizabeth II was flawless in conduct, dedicated to duty and marvellously untroubled by a mutinous inner life. But her aversion to conflict, known by her relatives as ostrichene, also means she left behind the punted problems of an infantile reprobate Prince Andrew, an opaque deep state of unreformed financial arrangements.
Starting point is 01:15:00 palatial properties and sealed wills that cry out for a constitutional cleanup and a successor King Charles III who inherited the throne so late his short reign will be a race to keep the lid on it all even as he bravely outruns cancer. There will be, and then she talks about next week and Charles's real real feelings about Trump, Rafe, and she says, there will be no whiff next week of how viscerally, I am told King Charles privately despises his presidential host. The king, a royal advisor told me, and she is very well connected, will be especially pained by Trump's attacks on Pope Leo. In his decades as Prince of Wales, interfaith understanding was always high on his priority list to the point that he wanted his monarch to be called defender of
Starting point is 01:15:51 faith, not the faith. So she's saying, Rafe, Tina, Brown is saying that a royal advisor, a serving royal advisor, working presumably for Buckingham Palace or that she doesn't clarify that, is openly saying that the king has a visceral hatred of Trump. That's days before the visit. Yeah. Well, I mean, everyone is entitled to their private views and everyone does have strong opinions on President Trump. I mean, you know, we know, we from the king's work as Prince of Wales where he stands on many other issues and we know where President Trump stands. The key point for us in having a monarch, which King Charles fully understands, is to be as neutral, is to be entirely neutral at all times and never to let know where, who,
Starting point is 01:16:48 what, we never knew who the Queen's favourite president was. We assume it was President Reagan and President Eisenhower, but we never knew about that. We didn't know who her favorite Prime Minister was officially. We're never going to know who the king really officially loved or hated in terms of those presidents he's met. Key point is Trump loves the monarchy. Trump really respects King Charles hugely. This is a great moment to show what an advantage it is to have a monarchy because imagine if we were a republic with President Stama, let alone at home, but of course Stama has burnt the special relationship with America and it takes King Charles and later in the year when we get the Prince of Printers of Wales going to America, only.
Starting point is 01:17:27 the king, William and Catherine, are able to pour oil on those troubled waters in the Atlantic. So it's to the great benefit that we have a very seasoned statesman and diplomat in the form of King Charles who can basically convene a meeting with President Trump, which will go undoubtedly swimmingly and help hopefully smooth some ruffled feathers. Now, Raph, I don't know who we can blame for this, presumably the government, our terrible government here in the disunited kingdom. But this statue, for question, Elizabeth the second, which was meant to be stunning, and she was meant to be like that. This is your vision of how it should have looked, Rafe, which I absolutely love.
Starting point is 01:18:10 But they haven't gone for something like that, have they? They've now unveiled it, and it's just a young queen, not on a horseback, but in her garter robes. And I don't know why they've done this, Rafe, but you are deeply disappointed. Huge disappointed. You know, we're talking about the longest reigning monarch in British history, second longest reigning monarch in world history. She needed to live one year and eight months longer
Starting point is 01:18:44 to become the world's longest reigning monarch in history. We needed an Elizabeth Memorial, which was just as grand as the Victoria Memorial in the Mal, just as grand as the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, if not grander. And what did we get? That's it. That's what it's going to be.
Starting point is 01:19:01 I mean, obviously a lot bigger, but that is it, Rave. That's it. And they've got some, of course, they have a monument to diversity also on the grounds that they've unveiled as well. There's some gardens and there's some weird modern art sculptures. But there's nothing awe-inspiring. There's nothing majestic about celebrating her majesty. The clue is in the name.
Starting point is 01:19:23 the Victorians and the Edwardians, they knew how to stir British hearts by designing triumphant grand monuments like the Victoria Memorial, like Admiralty Arch, like the Albert Memorial. Instead, we've got people now who have no understanding of what it means to be patriotic or proud, who are running our institutions. There's no ambition to build something grand or great in this country anymore. I often wonder if we can build something great, given that we can't build railway lines anymore. and so forth. And of course, who did they task to design all of this? Well, they went to a modern architect, Lord Foster, the man responsible for building glass cub uncles on lovely historic buildings. No surprise, therefore, that you're not going to get a vision that uplifts the soul and inspires one
Starting point is 01:20:10 to grand levels. You get something mundane, mundane and on the pedestrian level. One person said on Twitter, they've put a monopoly piece on top of a bollard. It is such a shame. It is such a shame. And do you know what's also a shame today? I'm just thinking about what this country desperately needs. And imagine the way that we would have come together today if we had been able to celebrate the 100th birthday of this great woman. And I will never forget being outside Buckingham Palace as the flag was lowered to half-mast and that announcement was made. And I do remember thinking this country just changed and it didn't change for the best. And unfortunately, a lot of the dark feelings that I had at that time about what life might be like here in Britain without her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, have unfortunately come true. But thank you for your service over all of that time. But my goodness, we miss you. My goodness, we do miss you. Breaking today after 40 years.
Starting point is 01:21:27 years, my former colleague Lorraine Kelly is now at risk of being sacked by Woke ITV as a plot has emerged to get rid permanently as a result of this budget-cutting decision to reduce Lorraine's show to just 22 minutes of content for a short part of the day. And I did warn, I did warn that this was coming because Wokey TV hired this dude called Andrew Dagnall to become the new head of news and he has an absolute visceral hatred of Lorraine Kelly, a visceral hatred and always vowed to get his revenge on the presenter who once told him on. when he questioned whether an American guest called Amanda Knox would be able to understand her broad Scottish accent. So his revenge is the fact that Lorraine's show has had all of its producers stripped. She now has no one actually working for her over these 22 minutes. She just has a pool of producers. And let's be honest, you don't need a 22-minute show at 9.30am. So actually, probably what Lorraine should have done is taking the hint and walked in a blaze of glory. But instead,
Starting point is 01:23:06 she's hanging on without any of her staff. And she's clearly sad about it as she announced the other day. Everybody, it's Lorraine here. I'm just on my way to do a bit of babysitting. But just found out that my show has been nominated for a BAFTA, which is very grown up and fantastic. Of course, it's all down to my amazing team, especially Victoria and Helen, Helen Addis, who was the inspiration behind our change and check campaign. And there's not a day it goes by that people don't stop me and say, thank you for that campaign that has saved so many lives. It's just amazing.
Starting point is 01:23:42 So thank you, BAFTA. Thank you to my great team. I love you all. And you've really cheered me up. But that was a real dig. Lorraine at ITV because of course that team have all been sacked that the two producers who she speaks about there Victoria Kennedy and Helen Addis were both sacked so here's the report and this is now a briefing campaign by the way ITV are directly briefing the media against Lorraine and Lorraine
Starting point is 01:24:07 unfortunately needs to know that the writing is on the wall and look I worked with her for a long time and we were very close and I don't take any joy in this but the game is up okay this this this show is over In fact, ITV daytime is over all of these shows will be gone soon because they're completely inauthentic. They gave in to the woke mob. They used to represent the working class people of this country and now they represent the elite class and as a result, people have switched off and they're coming to YouTube. They're coming to shows like this and I'm so grateful for that.
Starting point is 01:24:37 But here's the reporting from the Sun. The Lorraine show could face the axe after it was spotted that viewing figures in its time slot didn't drop significantly when it was taken off air recently. Host Lorraine Kelly sees her contract elapsed later this year around the same time the veteran presenter turned 67. A TV insider said, not having these shows on air has been something of a test of their popularity and ITV bosses have been watching the viewing figures. Good Morning Britain has just extended into the time slot occupied by Lorraine and they haven't suddenly seen the number of viewers drop off. In the last week that Lorraine aired on ITV, the show's peak number of viewers
Starting point is 01:25:09 hit an average of 627,000 a day compared to Good Morning Britain's average of 760,000 viewers that week. But I mean, when I was there, it would be a disaster if we got less than a million. So, you know, the viewers are going, and very soon they'll be well under 500,000. The following week when Lorraine was off air, GMB's ratings hardly dipped at all at 717,000 viewers despite the fact the show had extended into Lorraine's time slot. Now, why I know this is a coordinated campaign is it wasn't just the Sun doing this reporting. It was also this, fears for ITV's biggest stars as bosses under pressure to axe daytime favourites. Now whispering suggests there's angst over whether there are ongoing plans for both programmes Lorraine and Loose Women to be axed.
Starting point is 01:26:05 There are fears over the break becoming permanent, our ITV insider said. Although there was a huge reaction to the cuts internally, viewers have adapted to the change really well. It's been smooth sailing and obvious cutting. That's what has got ITV stars worrying. What have buses end up choosing to call Lorraine and Loose Women permanently after realizing they can do without both. I mean, look, it's going to happen. They're all going to be cold.
Starting point is 01:26:26 You're all going to be cold. Seriously, get a haircut, get a real job. You are over. Woke ITV will be gone soon. And that's just a reality. The Loose Women stars are worried too. Collie Nolan saying she's worried about paying her mortgage amid brutal loose women budget cuts.
Starting point is 01:26:46 She said on the one hand, it's nice to have a bit more time off, but on the business side, I think I've got a mortgage to pay. We get paid per show, and I'm filming fewer shows, but it has given me more incentive to do other TV work. She said of the new loose woman format, it will still be live, but there will be no audience, and I don't think they are having guests. I just feel like it will be a podcast, but on live television. But it could have been worse. They could have said, by the way, we're not recommissioning it, see you later, it's still here, it's still going. I love having the audience there. you know when you get all the feedback from the audience and the adrenaline from the audience,
Starting point is 01:27:16 so that's going to be really weird for us. TV is so different now, Colleen said. I mean, if you think of how many channels there are, the competition, I can't even count how many channels there are. It's a different era now to what it was 25 years ago. When I was a kid, there were three channels. That's how old I am when I did the Cliff Richard series when I was nine. That went out on Saturday night and there were 23 million every week watching that show.
Starting point is 01:27:37 To Rafe Hadle Mancoo fellow at the New Culture Forum, Rafe, look, it is certainly fair enough for the likes of Colleen Rooney to say that television has changed. Of course it has. There has been massive market fragmentation. But what's happening with woke ITV, Rafe is so much bigger than that because this channel gave in to the woke mob, to woke hysteria. These shows that used to represent our country, I mean, think of what Coronation Street was. It was the series about the working classes. We loved it because we saw ourselves in it. My family, who were all British, moved from Essex and Newcastle to New Zealand, 10 pound bombs after the World War.
Starting point is 01:28:13 But my God, Rafe, they never missed an episode of Corrie because they saw themselves in Coronation Street. Now, what happens now at the factory, Rafe, or at the Rovers? They're talking about trans issues. You know, ITV deserves to die, unfortunately, because it's. completely lost touch with its audience. Now, when it comes to Lorraine and Lou's women specifically, okay, in some ways you can feel sorry for those two shows, they are the ones that are on the chopping block, but eventually, Rafe, it will be this morning too, and it will be Good Morning Britain too.
Starting point is 01:28:49 All of these shows are going to have to realize that the legacy of ITV no longer means that they have a guaranteed audience, because people now can come to platforms like YouTube or Substack or podcast or Spotify, whatever it happens to be, and choose. what to watch and they are turning away from woke ITV. Yeah, it's funny we're talking about this because last week I was seated next to a very senior ITV executive at a dinner and I raised this issue. I said, how long is ITV going to last on terrestrial television before it needs to do what Sky is also thinking about doing, what talk has done and go online? And he said, well, they are having those discussions,
Starting point is 01:29:31 but they don't actually know when in the future that would be. But it is something that they are alive and alert to, but they are creators of their own downfall, as you correctly say, look, they're trying to appeal to the youth and migrants, right, these two new demographics who are woke and progressive. The reality is they aren't watching TV. All that they're doing with having the sort of programming
Starting point is 01:29:52 is turning off the very people. They should be trying their best to keep hold of. Because who's watching daytime TV? Well, it's the elderly. And the elderly are the last people in this world who want to hear about trans issues, who want to have ethnic minorities foisted into every conversation,
Starting point is 01:30:08 who need to have disabled character everywhere. They know these things turn them off. They are the most conservative demographic of all, and it's almost as if the BBC and ITV together are trying to put off their core viewing voters, so they're core viewers. So they deserve everything that they're getting, as far as I'm concerned.
Starting point is 01:30:27 The problem with the conservative outlets is that we aren't producing fictional stuff. Everything we do is news-based, discussions, I suppose, like Lorraine and Luce Women, but we're not making conservative soap operas. We're not making conservative dramas. We're not even conservative. We're not just making nice traditional neutral stuff like we used to do, right?
Starting point is 01:30:46 And the thing about Corration Street was it was funny as well. As far as I know, Corridor Street hasn't been funny for a long time. So just bring things back to the centre. Forget the right-wing politics. Forget the left-wing politics. Just entertain people, for goodness sake, without a lecture attached. 100%. I do think Hollywood's starting to realize it though, Rafe, because much more of the shows that I now see coming out of Trump's America don't have that blatantly woke political ideology connected to it.
Starting point is 01:31:15 Because if they do, do you know what? I switch it off. I switch it off immediately. But look, stand by Rafe, because you're about to reveal today's Union Jackass and Greatest Britain. But first, I just want to get to some feedback because so much coming in after everything that's gone down in Epsom and with Stama today, 9-945M says, what do you expect from the people of the UK to do, we have had enough. This government and the Muslim Brotherhood Private Security Services, oh, I mean the police. Georgina Burge says, this is in regards to Epsom. Surely they can't keep the victim and her family from speaking much longer. Can they? Will they always try? They always try to silence the victims.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Mob Bob 75 says every day we say it won't get any worse. Then depressingly, it gets worse. I lived through the tough 70s. In the 70s we had hope. I don't sense this today. Dogtagnan 3 says they won't answer the questions this is police because they would have to admit who did it and that they are doing nothing about it. And then on the political front, Zossozoid says as far as I'm concerned, there is only one way out of this mess. And that is to back Rupert Lowe. We need a full restore manifesto as the general election will be sooner than 2020. Okay, so a reminder of your union jackass nominees on this very busy day. Rafe went for Sirkeir Stama for proving he is either a liar or incompetent or most likely both.
Starting point is 01:32:42 This is his worst day without any doubt. He also went for the Liberal Democrat MP Helen Maguire for disgustingly branding her own terrified constituents as right-wing activists. I went for Kevin McGuire because it's all well and good now saying, oh yes, Stama's going to go. But what about taking some responsibility for the fact that you never did proper vetting on this guy? you knew he was a liar, but you were so desperate to get rid of the Tories that you were prepared to just forget that. Okay, the results are in. I'm going to be honest with you. I predicted this today. I haven't won. I haven't won. Put it that way. Helen McGuire in third place with three percent of the vote. I'm the runner up with Kevin McGuire and five percent of the vote. But today's Union
Starting point is 01:33:25 Jaggers, look at that. Look at that craft. With 92 percent of the vote is slippery. Stama and Raph, your choice for Greatest Britain is connected. Do you want to reveal who? Sir Olly Robbins, a man who deserves his knight with a second time, I think, or maybe a peerage for exposing Kirstama as being not only incompetent and a liar, but an outright hypocrite and unfit for high office in this country. Indeed, look, I have to say I've never agreed with what Sir Olly Robbins did, Rafe, for example, over the Brexit years where I think he was a dastardly anti-democratic force.
Starting point is 01:34:04 But having watched every minute of his evidence today, he did come across as, I would say, competent and believable. And it actually was in stark contrast to when you watch Slippery Stama on these matters. But look, we're going to keep across this, of course. Who knows what's going to go down in the next 24 hours? Does Stama find a way to hang on? Rief Hedlman-Koo, always adore having you here. He is, of course, the Royal Historian YouTube Sensation.
Starting point is 01:34:33 You have to follow his brilliant channel for all of his excellent videos. And also a fellow at the Excellent New Culture Forum. Ray, thank you so much.
