This is outspoken episode number 417 and breaking right now.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Braintree erupts as Tommy Robinson vows the British uprising is now happening after an emotional encounter with the family of the young English mother, Riannon White, who was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver by the illegal den magic who had been in the country, 11 weeks. It's not just my daughter, my family that have suffered this, there's other families, poor girls being raped. And people don't know their names either. No, exactly. There's not been enough attention. The government don't care.
Starting point is 00:01:13 They do not care, Tommy, that's the thing. They just push it into the carpet because clearly this is a state this country's in now. But for me, to stand here and watch this, I can tell you, you know, people think it's something happening, it's happening, okay? When we get to summer this year, watch it happen at an accelerated rate. Meanwhile, Tommy clashes with Woke ITV, whose producers stop filming him the moment he mentions Muslims. The reason citizen journalists are here is because of your failure.
Starting point is 00:01:45 The reason that I have become such a recognised journalist is because of your failures. It's because when you come to places on this and you report, I checked your reporting on issues yesterday, you label all these people as far right. I've checked. Far-right demonstrations. What's far-right about a nana or a mother or a daughter wanting safety?
Starting point is 00:02:02 What's far right about that? I've not called anyone far-right, Mrs. I'm not here to call anyone anything. It's the mainstream media. Your job is to warn the British public about danger. Well, you need to be warning them. Because every one of these countries, you know, 99% of Muslims in Afghanistan want Sharia law. Yeah, he mentioned Muslims run.
Starting point is 00:02:22 He mentioned Muslims run. And independent journalist, A.Y. Audits, is arrested as Montgomery Tom's, targeted by cops again for donning the St. George's flag and the latest authoritarian crackdown on free speech by our authorities who ignore the outrageous hate marches. Four nations, one thing. So I turn up, I walked through 10th, St. George's Cross, and four police officers run up behind me. So I'm going to what you're doing here. I'm walking down the centre of capital city of my country. No wonder the frustrations of the nation are boiling over in Gorton and Denton. and the most hotly contested and unpredictable by-election in history, where Labour has picked a Greek woman as its candidate,
Starting point is 00:03:41 while going on the attack against Matt Goodwin and Tommy Robinson, who last I checked isn't on the ballot. There is a city united. We are rejecting division. I am so looking forward to going out on the doorstep and winning this for Labour. Tommy Robinson, far-right activist and former head of his, is backing reforms candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election. But a new flank of the Civil War on the right has been opened up with Advance UK,
Starting point is 00:04:14 selecting the brilliant Nick Buckley to contest the by-election. My name is Nick Buckley, and I'm standing in the by-election in Gawthand-Denton for Advance UK. There's been a lot of criticism of that move, so to respond today and reveal why he's fighting in Manchester, advance UK leader Ben Habib is here. Also coming up on today's show, Jeremy Clarkson turns on Reform UK as he warns Nigel Farage is not the answer
Starting point is 00:04:46 in a scathing takedown. Sharon Osborne reveals she might be running for politics in Birmingham to stop a convicted terrorist being elected. And GB News is the latest to censor Holly Valance. ironically, on their show called Free Speech Nation. She called them out for it. Then, very special edition of the Royal Uncanceled After Show today. Royals in Crisis, as we analyse the repercussions on the British monarchy from the latest release of the Epstein Files,
Starting point is 00:05:19 which significantly features Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor and Sarah Ferguson in a devastating blow for King Charles that has left Prince William, I Can Reveal, Hopping Mad. So we're going to give you the coverage you won't get from the MSM as we team up with the Royal News Network and Lauren the Insider. And today, because this show is of such national and international significance, we will be as a one-off broadcasting on YouTube as a special premiere immediately after today's main show. So make sure you do stay tuned for that. We'll also reveal a brand new Greatest Britain and Union Jackass at the end of the show. you still choose the winner. You can vote right now in the live chat on YouTube, but our guest, Ben Habib, has nominated who he thinks the worst Britain in the world today is. And here are Ben's
Starting point is 00:06:15 nominations, Lord Mandelson over the Epstein Files, David Lammy for his U-turn on jury trials, and an honorary nomination for Billy Eilish for that really annoying Grammy's speech where she said there's no such thing as illegals. And Ben Habib, look, right now, Peter Mandelson is being reported to the police by the SNP, no less. And I have looked at these emails, Ben Habib, that he was sending to Jeffrey Epstein, about government policy, about Gordon Brown resigning. I mean, I believe he did break the law, Ben Habib. There needs to be a police investigation into this. That's before you get to these types of shady photos. Yeah, I mean, it's even worse than I think than you say, Dan, because the security services, I understand, warned the Prime Minister when he was considering Mandelson
Starting point is 00:07:10 as ambassador to the US that Mandelson was dodgy, that he should steer clear of him because he had been guilty of passing these secrets over to Epstein, which are then being used effectively by American bankers to try and pressure the government into reversing their tax policy on bankers, back in, I think it was 2008, when Alistair Darling was threatening to increase taxes on them, which then did take place. But Mandelson was colluding with these people behind the scenes, breaching state secrets and bringing pressure to bear on the Chancellor. This is very, very serious stuff, and it looks like Starmer knew about it. So the Epstein files, whilst they might be revealing Mandelson and rightly so, they also are serious questions now of Stama.
Starting point is 00:07:59 What did he know? And Morgan McSweeney, who's his number one advisor, absolutely. So look, there are your nominees, Lord Mandelson, David Lammy, Billy Eilish, get voting. And of course, Ben Habib, do stand by because we've got a lot to ask you about your choice and the Gorton and Denton by-election. What's going on with these talks with Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain? Ben Habib with me for the entire show today. So now, let's go. This weekend, the British Uprising began in Braintree, Essex, in a local movement that will soon,
Starting point is 00:08:37 I believe, spread across the entire country. The brutal murder of the young English mother Riannon White, who was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver by the illegal dead magic, who had been in the country just 11 weeks, and was seen dancing immediately after the the sickening attack has to be our red line moment. Local communities will no longer put up with hundreds of invading rapists, murderers and terrorists putting the safety of our girls at risk. This is Adam Brooks. I'm here in Braintree where thousands of people have come to the streets to say no, no to these illegal immigrants and asylum seekers being dumped on our towns.
Starting point is 00:09:23 we've seen rapes, we've seen sexual assaults, we've seen murders and yet we have a human rights lawyer as our Prime Minister that doesn't seem to care. Well let me tell you now, the majority cares and enough is enough. Now Tommy Robinson was at this protest against the 600 illegals now housed at RAF Weathersfield. He actually spoke
Starting point is 00:09:52 and was inspired by Rihanna's mother, Chavonne White, outside Coventry Crown Court the day before. Watch. As a family, you've been locked by this, and the lives are never going to be the same. For any politician who's watching this, what message you've been to give to the politician? Put the system out.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Get them out. If they're documented, like I said to you earlier, that's fine. Undocumented, put them somewhere, vet them, and send them back. They don't deserve to be here. It's not just my daughter, my family that have suffered this. There's other families, poor girls being raped. And people don't know their name, see. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:34 There's not been enough attention. The government don't care. They do not care to me. That's the thing. They just push it into the carpet. Because clearly, this is the state, this country's in there. They care. It's not happening to them.
Starting point is 00:10:45 It's not happening to them. If it's affecting them. If it's affecting them, it would be a complete different sort of. The government does not care. chilling words, but entirely accurate. Riannon's family have been snubbed by Sipri Stummer. It was interesting to note Chavon praising Tommy on GB News this morning, a channel that has banned him from appearing.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I'm not sure if you're aware that Tommy Robinson turned up on Friday and it was a lovely surprise and he didn't make it about himself, he made it about him. And he was right. Where is the support of our women and children? Where is it? On stage, Tommy then vowed that the British uprising is happening. He believes this summer will change everything.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But what you're seeing is ordinary people stepping up. And that's why I stand here encouraged. I felt inspired listening to each one of them. These sorts of gatherings didn't happen for a decade unless we're. organised them as a movement. We don't need to organise them and it's fabulous that this wasn't organised by groups nationally. It's fabulous that it's organic. It's fabulous that it's locals. It's fabulous to see them, whether it be here, whether it be in Epping, whether it be in Chelmsford, whether it be the lad mentioned four Scottish cities. That's what's needed. It's needed that it's
Starting point is 00:12:18 organic, that it's community-based, that you're building and getting to know each other, that you're coming together. Obviously, we put up on a national event, September 13th was fabulous. I hope many are coming on May 16th. But for me, to stand here and watch this, I can tell you, you know, people think it's something happening. It's happening, okay? When we get to summer this year, watch it happen at an accelerated rate.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Now, it's happening because of people like Shell. It's happening because of groups like the pink ladies. And it's fabulous to watch. Of course, the MSM and Deep State are going to try and do every. everything to stop that from happening, including an increasingly deranged bid to shut down Britain's growing independent media. At the Braintree protest, police even arrested Ayy Audits, a new media force who has appeared here on outspoken and is doing great work for violent disorder. Four nations, wanting to... He's not a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:27 AY has been arrested before a violent disease. No, so there is, is there? I don't know, you can't tell me? No. No. My understanding is you're wanted currently for violent disorder. Violent disorder? Do I put you under a school? You don't have to say.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It's been in the defence, not any protection, something at least filing court, anything to be here, maybe good at the rest of the court. For when? All the circumstances. No need for cuff. No, I know if I said this right? Yeah, no problem.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Okay. Okay. Good luck, Haywires. Remember the pot noodles, you told me that. I don't take the blue back, I don't take the pot noodles. I've been at migrant hotels, yeah, and I've been standing there, I've been assaulted, I've been attacked, yeah, on camera, I've shown it to the police officers, and the police officers ain't done nothing. They've let them go. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Do you know what I mean? What station, two-grin protest, that's that site? What do you want the thing? No. It's just like the most British way of getting arrested. Very peaceful, very calm. So we've got AY now who's been taken inside of the meat wagon. And there you are.
Starting point is 00:14:41 We've got my wallet. Where's the outrage about that? It's non-existent, of course, because the legacy media, the MSM have an agenda. So Tommy Robinson then decided to specifically target woke ITV in Braintree, starting with its painfully leftist Anglia reporter Barnaby Papadopoulos. Hey, let me ask you. You're saying that women don't feel safe. Should they feel safe?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Should women feel safe for you? Of course women should feel safe. So do you think it's right that undocumented men that we know nothing about are bust into town centre in their hundreds every week? Do you think that's right? I'm not here to answer your question. Do you think it's right? Do you think it's right? As a man, as a British man, you're speaking to scared women, should they be scared?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Is it right they're scared in their own town? My question to you is why are you choosing to focus? I'm asking you a question. Why don't you ask you a question? I'm asking you a question. Is it right that mothers, grandmothers and children are scared in this town centre? Is it right that anyone feels scared? My question to you is why choose to focus on 600 people in Weathersfield Asylum Centre rather than the thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:15:54 and the thousands of people every day who are convicted of sexual events. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you this about violence against women and girls not the same as... It's what you're talking about, is what you're talking about, these men are from Sudan, legal age from marriage 11. These men are from nations like Afghanistan, 99% of them want Sharia law. That means they want to subjugate women.
Starting point is 00:16:11 99% of you want to real law. Where do you get that? That's the pure research. What do you mean pure research? Pew research. PEW, the biggest research and most recognised research there is. There is... 99% of Afghans in Afghanistan. What's Sharia law? When they come here, do know what Sharia law is?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Do you know what Sharia law is? Do you think all of the Afghan interpreters who worked with the British military wanted Sharia law? 99% of them would have done it? 99% of the Afghans. I'm telling you. You fought for British soldiers in Afghanistan, want Sharia law. Can I ask you, you, you're a journalist. What do you know about Islam?
Starting point is 00:16:43 I'm not here to ask you. Have you read the Quran? I'm not here to answer. I'm not here to answer. So you're going to do is you can discuss the... I appreciate you speaking to us. Okay. Now, every time Tommy shames the MSM, by their total lack of knowledge,
Starting point is 00:16:56 Wokai TV, though, is especially guilty. What do you know about Afghanistan and how they think? Have you looked into how they think on women? What do you know about Afghanistan? I just told you what they think. No, I've told me 99% of Afghans, as you call. Wantshury-a-law, without any evidence without fact. At all.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You've not been to Afghanistan, it's on a straw pot. I'm not a straw. Hey, don't waste your time with you. No, okay, well, we can add this in. Let me ask you here. I appreciate you speaking to us, but you worry. Can I give you some advice? Because you're failing, you're losing viewers.
Starting point is 00:17:30 The reason citizen journalists are here is because of your failure, yeah? The reason that I have become such a recognised journalist is because of your failures. It's because when you come to places like this and you report, I checked your reporting on issues yesterday. You label all these people as far right. I've checked. Far right demonstrations. What's far right about a nana or a mother or a daughter wanting safety? What's far right about that?
Starting point is 00:17:50 Everyone start moving back. What's far right about? I've not called anyone far right, Ms. Rosson. I'm not here to call anyone anything. ITV, your news, you're from ITV, you brand these people as far right on these demonstrations. So I'm going to ask you again. Mr. Robinson, I'm not going to answer your question.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You can't answer. I've asked you why you're here. I'm here as a journalist. I'm here as a journalist to do the job that you don't. That's why I'm here. Gutless, I totally gutless. He also then encountered the top producer for Wokey TV's national news watch.
Starting point is 00:18:23 But we hear about so much about human rights. What about their human rights? What about that family in there who've just lost their daughter? What about that little baby who's got no mum? What about his rights? What about his rights to have a mother? What about their right to a family life? Have you heard?
Starting point is 00:18:36 I just heard from that family who, the other cousin has had to take, their son hasn't been at school for a year because migrants have been put in the hotel next to the school and they're terrorising the school. This is going on across the whole country in every single town and city. So you're about to see a political revolution in this country with reform coming in 12 months
Starting point is 00:18:52 and winning the election. Why? Why across Europe are right wing what you'd call far right? You're probably going to describe me as far right. Can I ask you, am I far right? That's not for me to say. Okay, but you will say it, you do say it, your channel says it. In fact, let's have a look. I'll bring it up now. ITV, Tommy Robinson, I bet it says far right. And then I'll ask you, because you're the reporter for ITV. Please tell me which one of my policies make me far right. I'm not reporter. I'm a producer. I said you're the producer. Which one of my policies make me far right? Please. Please. No, you're not into me.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Can I tell you, but why I'm a journalist, I'm interviewing you. Now, her derision for Tommy was clear, but what was most shocking, and I want you to watch closely here, is that the moment Tommy raises the issue of Muslims, she's scarpers. What one of my policies make me far right? I'm not answering that. Do you know what you do as a journalist? You know what you do as a media? Charlie Kirk, you done it to, yeah? I'm not saying you individually, so I'm sorry if I'm having to go at you.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I'm on about the broader channel, the mainstream media, the globalist corporate media. You put a target on Charlie Kirk. You called him fascist, you called him extreme. He was a liberal, he was a moderate. He's been murdered. You put a target on us. Individual people, while I walk down the street, because the lies told in your newspapers and your channels,
Starting point is 00:20:00 they think we're far right. They think we're racist. There's nothing racist matters. There's nothing far right about us. None of my views are far right. In fact, my views are liberal in the reasons I oppose the Islamization in this country, the subjugation, the violence.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Do you know what the legal age for sex is a marriage? A legal age for marriages in Sudan. So this scumbag who just murdered her, do you know, in his country, how old you have to be to be married? 10 years old, 10 years old or 11 years old. So these men are marrying 11 year old and then the next week they're next to our schools. They're next to our schools.
Starting point is 00:20:29 And as the mainstream media, your job is to warn the British public about danger. Well, you need to be warning them because every one of these countries, you know, 99% of Muslims in Afghanistan want Sharia law. Yeah, he mentioned Muslims run. He mentioned Muslims run. Look, she literally, literally the moment he mentioned it, she walked away. because the MSM and the elite class continue to look the other way.
Starting point is 00:20:53 This weekend, pro-PALs march through London chanting say it clear, say it loud, Kamani makes us proud. Nigel Farage responded, when people in Britain are chanting support for the thuggish regime in Iran, we are in serious trouble as a nation. Watch for yourself. By contrast, Nick Tangone's March for Jesus was banned by the Met Police from taking place in White. chapel but look how peaceful it was. Holy Eucharist, through my joys, through thy glory.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Lamb of God, who takeest away the sins of the world, spare us, O Jesus. Lamb of God who takeest away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Jesus. Lamb of God who takeest away the sins of the world. Now, that was bad. That march was bad. by the police. Yet crime in London is so out of control that a raid on a Richmond jewelry store took place audaciously in broad daylight on the same weekend. Oh, the chulis are in there. They're in there.
Starting point is 00:22:53 They're not. They're left towards the arms. Broad daylight. Broad daylight. Broad daylight, daylight robbery. But what are our police? But what are our police focused on? Threatening free speech advocate Montgomery Thoms
Starting point is 00:23:30 for daring to wear a St George's cross outside Downing Street. Well, the process has ended. Is it? I don't even know. I accidentally got on a train to Birmingham today, and I'm late to the protest. But my intention was to go and speak to people about free speech. Okay. That's totally fine.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Is it part of a YouTube video or social media or... Why does it matter? You don't have to tell me, I'm just asked a question. Yeah, just to point out, and I'm not being at all antagonistic. That's fine, mate. Four police officers to ask me if I'm, why I'm wearing a union, well, but I didn't ask that, did I? No, but let's be real. That's one of the reasons you've come over.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I asked you a question, obviously, the reason why you walked through there, and obviously you've pointed out that is because it's your Union Jack. Well, yeah, St George's Cross, but, yeah, so I made the same error. Yeah, I'm just talking about you said. So obviously, you've got, I'm just saying you just got off the wrong train. You got off the wrong... No, basically, I was men have come here much of. earlier so I could go and speak to everyone.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Okay. But I accidentally got on a... Three months. That process or... I'm not part of any process. I'm just sort of turn up and speak to people. No, always, right. I always do that.
Starting point is 00:24:36 No, that's why... You might recognise, mate, I do it. I've done it before. I don't recognise you. I don't know who you are. And actually, yeah. It doesn't matter. I was just going to be eager to...
Starting point is 00:24:44 No, no, I appreciate you and keep me in full. I'm going to the pub now. Enjoy it. That one for me. We'll do. Cheers, mate. Thank you. Right, so I turn up, I walked through
Starting point is 00:24:54 10 past 10 Downing Street, when in St George's Cross and four police officers run up behind me. So excuse me, mate, excuse me, can I ask, you know, what you're doing here? I'm walking down the center capital city of my country. And one event in particular that the MSM are bound to look the other way about is the launch of Rupert Lowe's very, very important rape gang inquiry. Today, at its opening, the survivor, my good friend Sammy Woodhouse, delivered this powerful address.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Children were degraded. They were humiliated. They were controlled through violence, threats, drugs, alcohol and terror. Children forced to carry weapons, sell drugs and commit murder. They were forced to dig their own graves. Petrol pod over there. and set on fire. Scriptures from the Quran read out
Starting point is 00:25:59 whilst they were being gang raped. Young children placed inside microwaves, ovens and freezers in an attempt to murder them. So no wonder the frustrations of the nation are now boiling over in Gorton and Denton in the most hotly contested and unpredictable by-election
Starting point is 00:26:17 in British history. Labour, not reading the room again, has been lambasting reform UK for picking Matt Goodwin, who they claim is not local. But their candidate until very recently was describing herself as Greek. She wrote it was a great honour as a Greek to attend the official opening of the Greek consulate general in Manchester. Here's her pitch pretending to be local. I'm really and excited and I want to thank everyone who came to the Hastings. I am a proud
Starting point is 00:26:52 Mancunian woman. I have walked the streets of this constituency. This is about Manchester. Manchester is a city united. We are rejecting division. I am so looking forward to going out on the doorstep and winning this for Labour. They could have had Andy Burnham. I've got the Greek woman. The green candidate Hannah Spencer, she hates the Union Jack Flag. Of course. So these flags, I'll say this, that took effort. Those flags go for miles. They're all evenly spaced.
Starting point is 00:27:34 They're all the same height. And I know from working up a ladder like fitting gutters and boilers and bluepilers and whatnot, like that is not easy. And so if you're using your time and your tools and your practical skills because you want your country back, please come and join the rest of us who are actually trying to get our country back. Reforms flag bearer Matt Goodwin brought Nigel Farage along to campaign. Barbershot, small businesses, just like the one that Nigel and I were in just now,
Starting point is 00:28:01 local small businesses getting absolutely clobbered with big taxes, big regulation, business rates. We're the party that will put Gorton and Denton first. Have you noticed, Labour are more interested in trying to save themselves than actually speaking up for this area. The Greens are more interested in talking about Gaza. than the people of Gorton and Denton. We are the only people who will put this seat, these towns, communities first.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I'm here every minute of the campaign every day. Yeah, desperate labour attempting to destroy Matt Goodwin by linking him to Tommy Robinson, not knowing that that I think will only increase his support. I've met Tommy Robinson a couple of times, and with similar age, so in some respects, we're quite similar. So I understand where he's come from. So the cat is out of the bag.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Tommy Robinson, the far-right activist and former head of EDL, is backing reforms candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Tommy Robinson's views have got no place here in Manchester, and I know that people around here will be as horrified as I am to hear that he's backing Matt Goodwin. So if Matt wants people to know that he doesn't share Tommy Robinson's views, then he must come out immediately and denounce him and reject his support.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Otherwise, he'll leave people with no alternative but to draw the conclusion that he shares them. Even the Prime Minister himself, Wadden, from China, saying in an interview, it is very much and very clearly now a by-election between Labour and Reform on key principles. I see that Tommy Robinson has just come out in support of Matt Goodwin.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That tells you everything about the politics they intend to inject into this by-election, the politics of poisonous division, so we can see exactly where that's going. Now, as only she can, Katie Hopkins summed up the three main parties' candidates, lariously. Oh, you caught me. Look at the state of me. My name's Hannah Spencer. And I'm cosplaying as a builder and a plumber and a plasterer to get the green vote in Manchester. Because we've got a leader that's cosplaying as a green party leader, whereas in fact, is run there Dave.
Starting point is 00:30:16 And he's running as a Trojan horse for the Islamist. I know. And people who want to vote for me will vote for me because I look like I'm working class, whereas in fact I live in the posh bit of Manchester. But vote for me. My name's Hannah and I'm a plumber. I've never plumbed a fucking thing ever laugh. My name is Angelica Stodja. I'm the Labour candidate and a proud Mancunian Roman. I look forward to being on the streets because no one else wanted to represent Labour because we know we cannot win now. Oh hi, Matt Goodwin, candidate for reform here in Manchester, known as the academic, spelt with a hard K, if you don't mind. I'm also the trans candidate, because I transitioned from being a leftist guardian writing, to actually quite a decent bloke for reform.
Starting point is 00:31:08 This is the cardboard box that my grandfather grew up in in the middle of Toogood in Manchester. He made steel from his own spleen. Vote for me, Matt Goodwin, you'll never meet a more working-class mancuni than me. Well, Matt Goodwin actually replied to that from Katie Hopkins, so he'll probably be booted out of reform before you know it for engaging with someone on the far right. But look, the war on the right of British politics had kerosy. Chucked all over it this weekend when Ben Habib's fast-growing advance UK party of which Tommy Robinson is a member, remember,
Starting point is 00:31:44 announced they would be standing a candidate in that Manchester by election. and not just any candidate, but the extremely talented and well-liked Manchester local, Nick Buckley. My name's Nick Buckley, and I'm standing in the by-election in Gorton and Denton for Advance UK. I lived in Gorton as a baby and as an adult. I pounded those streets with greater Manchester Police when I worked for Manchester Council,
Starting point is 00:32:13 and when I set my charity up, I based it in Gorton. I've worked across Denton. and Gorton. With my charity, I ran youth clubs, I was based in schools, I worked with primary schools, I know the area well. My schools were there. I went to Stanley Grove Primary School and then I went to Central High School where Bellevue is. I know the area. I know the people. And if you want an MP to represent you, and let's be honest, to disrupt Parliament, to get them doing what they should be doing, then I'm the man. for you. On why he's running even though it could harm Farage's party, Nick said Reform
Starting point is 00:32:54 UK have now officially become a member of the Uni Party and part of the establishment. Once the party tells others who should not stand in an election, we know they think those votes belong to them. Arrogance, entitlement, dictator, everything the Tory said about them has now been recycled and said against me. No wonder really, reform are full of the same Tories. And as the criticism from Farragis like June Slater grew over the weekend. He added sarcastically, I can't believe Advance UK is standing a candidate in a by-election. What sort of political party do they think they are? I'm canceling my membership because I only pretended to want change. And to explain his decision, I'm delighted to be joined now by Advance UK leader Ben Habib.
Starting point is 00:33:44 So Ben Habib, I mean, it really did kick off this weekend. Look at this from Councillor Natalie Oliver, for example, who said, shame on you, Ben, Habib. You clearly have no regard for this nation. You're nothing more than a petty egomaniac endangering everything for all. Ben, your response. Well, just the first thing to say, and I'm sure this won't surprise any of your viewers, whoever wins the by-election in Gorton and Denton won't make a blind bit of difference to how this country is governed at a national level.
Starting point is 00:34:29 This is not a pivotal by-election from a national perspective because the Labour Party has a thumping majority in Parliament at the moment, and it will continue to have a thumping majority after the Gorton and Denton by-election. So this is no pivotal moment the way it's being described by reform. Reform simply want to shut Advance UK out because they've woken up to the fact that actually we are becoming quite a potent political force. You might have seen that during the course of January, we've taken a number of councillors,
Starting point is 00:35:00 people whom I campaigned with whom I knew very well before Farage came back as leader of reform, people who, in my mind, the salt of the earth, true reformers, not the sort that Farage has now infected the party with. And they're leaving Reform UK and joining us in droves. And Reform therefore know that we pose an electoral threat to them. And I also happen to know that Farage and senior members of Reform
Starting point is 00:35:30 have set their attack dogs on advance. All that media, social media attacks on us that took place was under instruction from the very top people in reform. They don't want us to get traction. And the easiest and best way for an insurgent new party to get traction is to stand in by-elections. It's the only way to do it. And they want to shut us out, make sure that there's no opportunity for people to look at who we are, for us to gain traction as a political force with the electorate.
Starting point is 00:36:02 They want to shut us down as much as possible. And as you rightly say, Dan, it's cheeky in the extreme, because again, when I was deputy leader of reform, we faced exactly the same threats and attack dog kind of approach on social media from the Tories that at the time, reform used to rightfully denounce because democracy was being denied. And the other massive bit of hypocrisy here is that Farage and his cohort are busy denouncing the Labour Party for shutting down elections across the country, local council elections, while at the same time trying to shut us out of standing in an election. But my answer is basically Nick Buckley's answer.
Starting point is 00:36:45 You know, what did they expect us to be doing as a political party? Just to stand by and allow reform, which is Tory 2.0, to have a clear run at it. Absolutely not. We will have a complete full swing at this by-election. And we will do well, Dan. I can tell you that we're going to do well because we've got Nick Buckley. There are other people like Nikki who are. saying, let me show you this. In the interest of full transparency, I am a fully paid up
Starting point is 00:37:17 Tory, but I am also a realist. Nick Buckley will be a much more relatable candidate in Gorton and Denton than Matt Goodwin, more local too. So definitely the right was divided. Can I just check something specifically with you though, Ben, because I've seen crazy reports from both sides of this argument over the past 24 hours. Some people are claiming that advance has seen mass resignations from your membership and that up to 25% of the membership have gone. Others are claiming that actually your membership has increased. What's the truth? Has anyone been quizzing over this?
Starting point is 00:37:51 No, we have had 60 new members since we announced Nick Bucky as candidate. It's absolute bollocks using a professional term to describe this nonsense that people are putting out. But this is reformed. So 25% of the membership has not quit. No, we've gone up in membership. We've gone up in membership over the weekend. and we will continue to go up.
Starting point is 00:38:12 This is reform attack dogs put on to us by Farage. Exactly the same tactics that Farage himself denounces. And while we're on, denunciations of people, isn't it interesting that no one in reform has denounced Tommy Robinson's endorsement of Matt Goodwin? Farage is on the airwaves, non-stop denouncing Tommy Robinson, accusing him of having beaten women up, which is wholly untrue, using any line of attack that he can against Tommy Robinson. The minute he endorses their candidate, Matt Goodwin, there's complete radio silence from reform
Starting point is 00:38:47 because actually they know that the people are with the movement. The people want dramatic change. And they will slyly ally themselves to the extent that they can with Tommy Robinson when it suits them. But when it doesn't suit them, when the true colors of Farage and his cohort come out, they will throw everything they've got at people like Tommy Robinson. Were you disappointed that Tommy endorsed Matt Goodwin? It was before the announcement of Nick Buckley as your candidate.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Not at all. Tommy Robinson is a member of the party. He's entitled to do exactly what he wishes. He didn't know, of course, at that point, because he is only a member that we were about to stand our own candidate. And I hope, but of course this is a matter for Tommy Robinson, I hope that having seen Nick Buckley entering the race, that he will change his endorsement.
Starting point is 00:39:38 But, you know, that is purely down to Tommy to decide, you know, who he supports. There is also a huge amount of criticism coming towards Reform UK, including from the right. And it was really interesting because Jeremy Clarkson got involved in quite spectacular fashion saying that Reform UK and Nigel Farage will solve nothing, that Reform UK voters will be sorely disappointed. And this was all in a column for the Sun newspaper, headline, do you know what reforms policies are? Neither do I. So here's why voting for Farage won't solve any of your problems. And he went on, I've got my crystal ball out. And here's what it's telling me. If and when reform win the next election, the army of people who voted for them
Starting point is 00:40:33 are going to end up sorely disappointed. Bear with me on this. You're not. voting reform because you like the sound of their economic policies. You don't know what their economic policies are. No one does. And it's the same story with their policies on transport, agriculture, education, potholes, health and smoking in pubs. You know what Nigel Farage thinks about China? Me neither. And all they've told us is that they're going to do something about immigration. And for a huge number of people, that's enough. On that one policy alone, millions will put their ex in Farage's box. In the morning after he gets the keys to number 10, they'll expect to wake up and find themselves in an Enid Blighton picture book.
Starting point is 00:41:08 So this is really interesting, Ben Habib, because Jeremy Clarkson is one of those populists, I mean, indeed a lot of people are saying, including me, are saying, God, could Clarkson actually be the Donald Trump type figure of British politics? You know, he's hinted he might run against Ed Miliband, that sort of thing. And this really was an indictment of Farage,
Starting point is 00:41:30 which will be quite devastating, given that Murdoch's son newspaper in which this column appeared have increasingly appeared to move from the Labour Party which they shamefully endorsed at the last election to backing Farage. I presume you agree with Clarkson's analysis here. So Clarkson is a really interesting figure to me. You know, he voted Remain. So he's obviously not from the same historic political disposition as I am.
Starting point is 00:41:58 But I think having become a farmer, he has realized really how dramatically disastrous EU regulations are for farming, how dramatically disastrous net zero is, and how high taxation, which is effectively the EU model, including pertinently IHT applied to farms, is so damaging for the farming industry. I think Clarkson is on his own political journey. And on the way, I think he'll probably wake up to the fact that he should have voted
Starting point is 00:42:27 to leave the EU and that actually we've got to reject this. highly regulated, socialized model of governance. But what he's woken up to on this journey is something that many people, I think, are now waking up to, and that is that on the key issues, actually farage and reform don't have a political philosophy. You know, let's just take immigration. Immigration is the salient issue at the moment. 80% of, when you do a poll, 80% of people put immigration as their top concern. We are now nearly two years in to reform getting its five seats in Parliament. Now they've got eight seats, I know, through defections from the Tories,
Starting point is 00:43:10 but getting their five seats in Parliament. And we still don't have an immigration policy from reform. Yes, reluctantly, they came out and they gave us a half-baked mass deportation policy under pressure a few months ago. But we don't have an immigration policy. Advance, on the other hand, has got its first major national event coming up this weekend, and we will have an immigration policy. And that's the difference between reform and the serious party that advances.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And I think Clarkson waking up to the fact that reform is just a circus, it's designed to soak up political capital, but it actually doesn't offer solutions. He, as a farmer, wants solutions. How are you going to save the farming industry? He doesn't want Farage up on a stage trying to absorb Jeremy Clarkson's political popularity. He wants solutions from Farage, but we don't have a farming policy from Farage.
Starting point is 00:44:07 We don't have a policy on energy from Farage, which would get rid of net zero and be so beneficial to the farms. We don't have any indication of the economic direction of travel from Farage because he denounced all the economic policies put forward in the 2024 general election. We have nothing from reform. He's all over the place. So Clarkson is absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:44:27 He has rumbled Farage. On his own political journey, he has rumbled farage and reform. Would you like him as a member of Advance UK? You're going to be calling Jeremy Clarkson? I know he's a long-time Tory, but you never know. Yeah, no, I welcome all British citizens into Advance UK as members. Of course, to represent the party is a different position. That would require, you know, interviews.
Starting point is 00:44:53 And I do want to ask about that because, Ben, one of the main questions that people have been asking me now for the past fortnight is what's going on between Ben Habib and Rupert Lowe. You appeared on outspoken. You then made your video really inviting Rupert Lowe to consider some sort of merger or relationship or something between Advanced UK and his political. Movement Restore Britain. Now, obviously, we do need to point out that today, and it will be ignored by the mainstream media, and we will not ignore it, Rupert Lowe is opening his very important
Starting point is 00:45:33 independent rape gang inquiry that many of you would have supported with Sammy Woodhouse, giving that very powerful address that we played earlier in the Digest. Now, of course, a lot of these sessions are going to be held in private, and that is to protect the anonymity of the victims, but we will be talking about it in the weeks to come. And I know that is Rupert Lowe's focus at the moment. At the same time, Ben, Habib, I have been told that there have been some private talks between yourself and Rupert Lowe. Is that true? And can you give us any sort of update on where those talks have ended up? So Rupert and I are political allies. You know, we see, we joined reform on the same day.
Starting point is 00:46:20 We share many of the same views and we have, as I say, a very similar political philosophy. And as you know, I'm sure, and many viewers will know, Advance UK was really set up with Rupert Lowe's leader in mind. And that didn't work out. Rupert decided to set up his own movement. Rupert remains fully welcome in advance. We have, when we continue to have exchanges of texts and, you know, from time to time. But Rupert is still going on with his movement. I don't think he's interested
Starting point is 00:46:57 in joining any political party at the moment. You would need to ask Rupert his views. But I personally can't see any genuine saving of the United Kingdom, any real tilt at saving the UK coming out of a movement. You have to do what we're doing. And you can see what we're doing. In other words, you know, having a political force challenging the other parties at the ballot box, you can already see the impact that's having on reform and others because of the social media outcry as a result of us standing a candidate in Gordon and Denton. So what I would say to Rupert is continue the brilliant work you're doing if and when you decide to join a political party advances there with open arms for you.
Starting point is 00:47:45 So at the moment, some type of merger. I mean, I know Restore Britain is not a political party yet. It is a movement. But I do think people like the idea, Ben, of Advance UK and Restore Britain coming together. At the moment, you're saying that's not on the table? No, I think Rupert's running his movement and I'm running my party. I think Restore Britain is running out of road. if it were to wish to convert to a party.
Starting point is 00:48:17 There's no suggestion, I don't think, from Rupert that he wants to convert, restore Britain to a party. But it's running out of the road. We're only three and a half years out from 2029, and the general election may come early. And what we're doing in Advanced UK is the hard graft of making sure
Starting point is 00:48:32 we've got a campaigning army across the country. However brilliant one might be in Parliament or on social media, at the end of the day, you've got to have members across the country able to campaign for, you, hit the roads, drop leaflets, campaign locally and so on. And that can only happen through being a political party. So at some point, if Rupert decides he wants to get into a political
Starting point is 00:48:59 party, I think Advance UK will be the natural home for him. Okay, but you're seeming to suggest that it wouldn't be some type of merger between the organisations, but effectively there's an invite for Rupert to join at Vant. how that takes place, the mechanism by which that might take place. So you are open? I'm totally, I'm, listen, whatever people might say, the only reason I'm in politics, the only reason I set up advance,
Starting point is 00:49:27 the only reason I'm leader of advance is because I want to save the United Kingdom. And I will take any steps required in order to ensure that end result. And I will be completely open to all ideas to achieve that goal. Because obviously the big strength is that Rupert lowers in Parliament.
Starting point is 00:49:45 You've obviously got these 40,000 members. I think there's quite a lot of hope that James McDowoc, who was also screwed over so terribly by Reform UK, would join Rupert. And all of a sudden, you've got a bit of a force there. But, okay, we will watch this space. I mean, I guess you can understand, Ben, that Rupert's focus this month is on the rape gang in the choir.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Absolutely, of course. Yeah, of course. And, you know, we might just have our own MP on the 20th. of February. Do not discount anything. The electorate is very febrile. It's going to be quite a split vote in Gorton and Denton. And I think Nick Buckley would be an absolutely first-class MP. And think about the political implications of advance within seven months of becoming a political, of launching itself, within two months of becoming a registered political party, getting its first MP. So you're in this to win it. I'm in it to win it. And that will do much.
Starting point is 00:50:42 much more for the betterment of our political discourse than Matt Goodwin winning. Nick Buckley winning will send a seismic shock right through the political establishment. Everyone will wake up. The British people would have spoken much more clearly through advance. They don't even speak about advance. They don't even speak about advance. So I do think that's why you've got to go into this. I mean, it's interesting looking at the pollings.
Starting point is 00:51:06 I was looking at something from Data Marwan earlier who said that because of this vote splitting likely to go on, because remember you've also got George Galloway on the left, you might only need 25% of the vote to actually get an MP. Or less. It's all to play for. It's all to play for. And Nick, Nick, don't underestimate Nick Buckley as a political campaigner. He put reform into, I think, fourth place in the mayor of election in 2024. He stood as a mayoral candidate in 2019 got 7.9% or thereabouts on his own as an independent. I mean, the guy's phenomenal. Okay. Well, I do have a super chat on that to put to you, though, Ben, because you know I'm a big fan of Nick Buckley, but I'm not sure if you saw his comments over the weekend about women. And a lot
Starting point is 00:51:55 of people aren't happy about this, Ben. So this is literally a super chat that's come in live from Shaver to UK 150 who says, why would it once put up a man who speaks so dispersexual? barragee of women, do you want to alienate half your members? People are taking what he said about women out of context. He was basically saying that women are habitually bullied into taking the positions that they take and that feminism hasn't served women particularly well. That doesn't make him a misogynist. For goodness sake, this man got an MBE for charitable services in Manchester through his Mankunian way
Starting point is 00:52:34 charity. This man is no misogynist. He calls a spade a spade. He will speak out his mind, but to try and convert honest observations that he made with him being a misogynist is completely wrong. But Dan, we're going to get a lot of attacks over the next three weeks. You've seen how this is kicked off over the weekend against us. People try to shut down the democratic process because they're so fearful of advance. This is going to get worse. And I think we will be talking about Nick Buckley in greater detail going forward.
Starting point is 00:53:10 But remember also the bravery required now to go up against an establishment, which includes reform, the Tories, Labour, and the other parties who do not want us on the stage. This is a moment where advance is going to show its fortitude, and Nick Buckley is going to do that for us. There'll be many, many slurs. They're going to call us far right.
Starting point is 00:53:33 They're going to call us everything under the sun. I know it. Discount it. Disbelieve it. Don't buy it. Breaking today, grieving Sharon Osborne has revealed she's got the X-Factor for politics. And we'll be taking on a convicted terrorist. Yep.
Starting point is 00:53:52 You heard me. A convicted terrorist who was attempting to win a council seat in Birmingham. So this is Shahid Bhatt. And I mean, he really is the butt of humanity. He was jailed in Yemen after being found guilty of conspiring to attack the British consulate in Aden, an Anglican church and a hotel. Convictions he now claims were fabricated, alleging severe torture led to a conviction. Despite that and despite having previously served time in Birmingham prisons for violent offences in his youth too, but is now seeking public office. Running on a pro-gaza platform, of course, he is contesting the Spark Hill Ward.
Starting point is 00:54:37 But when Sharon Osborne, Mrs. O, learned of his bid, she said she's moving to Birmingham. And putting her name down on the ballot, it's absolutely extraordinary. John Cleese, who seems to have had another political reinvention, is supporting this now, saying, Good luck, Sharon. And let me take you through the conversation that all took place in public. On Instagram, Sharon Osborne wrote, This has nothing to do with racism. I think I'm going to move to Birmingham and put my name down for the ballot to be on the council.
Starting point is 00:55:12 When someone replied potentially facetiously, you've got my vote. Sharon replied, I'm serious. And this all took place on the account of Richard Donaldson, who you might know is currently running this bid for a national strike next week. and he posted, Sharon Osborne has commented on one of my videos that she is serious about running in the Birmingham elections here in the UK to save the city from Islamic terrorists. Then, of course, we come to that nefarious force in the British mainstream media, G.B. News, who he added, G.B. News blacklisted me, not asked, except for the fact they bitch and moan about the state of the country because outrage sells. And then the moment I offer a potential solution refused to take backhand deals from. reform, I'm cancelled. But now they're running stories from my comment section and doing all they can not to mention the National Strike. They are part of the establishment scumbag. So a lot to pick up on here
Starting point is 00:56:09 with Ben Habib, leader of Advance UK, who also remains banned by GV News. But Ben, let's kick off with Sharon Osborne, because doesn't this just show you that something is changing in this country? I mean, Sharon Osborne actually, until quite recently, was on the woke and the wet side. of British politics agreeing with Bill Maher that it's just racist if you even question the Islamist takeover. But the fact that we now have a convicted terrorist potentially about to be elected to counsel has been enough for Mrs. Owen. She's saying, I'm throwing my hat in the ring. Well, I mean, it's admirable. And as Tommy Robinson said in that little speech he made about the Braintree protesters, having organically come together to protest against the
Starting point is 00:56:58 illegal migrants being put in Weathersfield, you know, the former Air Force Base. People organically across the country are recognizing the threats that we're facing as a country. And they're coming forward to face those threats. And that is the British people doing what the British people historically have done so well, which is responding to the threats the country faces themselves. This is a very, very good thing. I think had 40 years of infantilizing the British people through the EU, this kind of a top-down form of governance, highly regulated, which I've touched on as well before,
Starting point is 00:57:36 people are waking up. We talked about how Jeremy Clarkson may be on his own political journey, Sharon Osborne, on her own political journey. And they are seeing the damage that's being done to the country through mass immigration, high taxation, high regulations, net zero. It's all different things, but they're all part of the same political, ideological bent that is so damaged this country. People are waking up to all of that, and they're coming forward to stand. And of course, without wishing to bring the discussion back to me in advance, we're part of that same reaction.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I exist, advance exists, because we're reacting to the threats the country faces. And Mrs. Osborne's done exactly the same thing. So I think all strength to Sharon Osbourne's elbow, I'm delighted that she feels strongly enough to actually put her head above the political parapet and have a go. And if she does, she will have our support. Absolutely. Good for her. It's funny, isn't it, Ben, how there is so much snobbery going on.
Starting point is 00:58:39 And one of the examples of that, I think, has been the reaction to Tom Skinner, the former apprentice contestant who recently joined Reform UK. but he has now been announced as a question time panelist. And of course, Narenda Kaur, in a move that Tommy Robinson described as being so embarrassing, has suggested that it's really disgusting. Just let's get your head around this one, Ben. It was really disgusting that Tom Skinner is booked because she, as a brown woman, has not been booked.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Watch. So Thomas Skinner has just tweeted me that he's, He's had an invite to be on BBC Question Time as a panellist. Like, good look to you, mate, Bosch. I've been boashed again. That's not the issue here. That's fine, good look to here. I messaged a producer on there.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I don't know a year ago. And I got goes, said, fine. I didn't talk about it. It's fine. That's up to them. They don't have to have me on. No one's obligated. But I want to know why you'll have on Thomas Skinner, you know, reform fan.
Starting point is 00:59:47 You'll have on that man last night who said that Rishi soon. I couldn't be English because he's a brown Hindu. So you're happy for them, but I don't know what your problem is with me. Genuinely, BBC, I stick up for you. I'm a fan of BBC, but you won't have me on. What is it about left-leaning, opinion? And just on a postcard. I mean, Ben, Habib, it's hilarious,
Starting point is 01:00:13 because I would say the British Bashian Corporation is full of left-leaning, opinionated brown woman. They host most of their TV shows these days. Well, absolutely. I mean, the DEI card runs deeply through, you know, the BBC. I don't know what Narenda's on a path there, frankly. I think Narenda is just keen to get on BBC question time by the sounds of it. Were you disappointed to see Thomas Skinner join Reform UK?
Starting point is 01:00:41 No, I think that there are essentially two kinds of politician. One that will do what's by their, act on their own principles, conviction politicians. there are very, very few of them. And there's a whole coterie people who think they've got a political philosophy, many of whom don't, and they follow momentum. And where were all these people for reform when reform wasn't doing well in the polls? They've all jumped on board, including the latest cohort of Tories, because they see momentum with reform.
Starting point is 01:01:18 They think that they can get their bum most easily onto a green seat through reform. they were true conviction politicians, they wouldn't have joined reform. They would join a party like Advance, which is doing it over the high road with serious principal politics. But those are the two kinds of politicians. And what I firmly also believe, by the way, is that those who are seeking political momentum at the moment, the old political expedient way to get your backside onto a green seat, are going to find that the British people are not with them. The British people, have moved on. The British people, as we see with Sharon Osborne, Jeremy Clarkson and others, the British people want conviction. They want solutions. And so I think what we're going to
Starting point is 01:02:05 find is advanced increasing its momentum, increasing in popularity, and these same people then wishing to join us. And the challenge we'll have is to make sure that we don't take on people who don't have conviction, just because they want to get on our coattails. Indeed. And of course, you look at this Mandelson story today, Ben Habib, and it is fast developing. It is hugely shocking. I mean, the guy was literally leaking state secrets while working for Gordon Brown to the world's most prolific pedophile, then covered all of that up, covered up the fact that his fabled. was receiving money from Epstein, because of course the money was going to his husband, rather than to him directly, yet is still appointed by Slippery Stama as our top diplomat in the world in the United States of America.
Starting point is 01:03:07 An appointment, Ben, that I remind you, the elite class like John Sopal of the news agents, or the fake news agents, as I call them, were celebrating as some type of genius brainwave. And so to me, what's happening with the Epstein files, and I don't think enough people on the right bin are talking about the Epstein files because there's some nervousness that, you know, if you speak about the Epstein files, you're going against Donald Trump. No, no, this actually isn't about Donald Trump. It's about the total corruption, I believe, between the elite class and the mainstream media. And I think the Mandelson's story is so, so shocking. And there's going to be a lot to unravel here. So rightly, people have focused on the paedophilia, effectively, that was going on. But what was really going on with Epstein was, from a political perspective, was a billionaire who was pressing all the really abhorrent buttons which certain politicians like have and indeed members of the royalty in order to gain favor with them so that he could then push his own agenda. This is a classic example of the very rich people in this world,
Starting point is 01:04:23 getting together with the very powerful people in this world, and controlling the way countries are governed, the way effectively the globe is governed. And many, many people have woken up to the impact that the World Economic Forum has had right across Western governance as a result of the richest people in the world meeting the most powerful people in D. having meetings behind closed doors, sewing up deals with each other. That is fascism. Money combined with power, that is genuine far-right fascism. And Epstein was part of that and Mandelson was part of it. Peter Phileia and all the sexual stuff that they did was the mechanism they used, and including, of course, giving money over to DeSilver Mandelson's husband. Those were the mechanisms
Starting point is 01:05:13 they used to get control of these politicians. And we must remember this. We must remember that those who govern us are in bed with the richest people in the world. This is what's going on. There may not be some kind of blowfelt figure in the World Economic Forum that has a grand plan, but there are lots of very, very rich people,
Starting point is 01:05:35 extremely rich people, in bed with extremely powerful people, and they've got info and control of each other through the kind of stuff that Epstein was doing. And Mandelson, and what he was up to, was done in plain sight. We all know about Mandelson's early days. He was chucked out of the Labour Party at least once or twioled. He lost his position and then ennobled after all of that. And this time before he was appointed ambassador, the security services warned the Prime Minister that they should not be appointing Mandelson as ambassador. But Starboard took no notice and appointed him anyway.
Starting point is 01:06:14 We are riddled with corruption at the highest level. Yes, and that is what the Epstein files are about. It really, really is. Yeah. Now, I can't believe this. Holly Valance has just been silenced again. But this time by G.B. News, on a show, and this is what makes it so hysterical and hypocritical and weird, literally called Free Speech Nation.
Starting point is 01:06:42 So you know that I've been following this story of the former pop star and neighbours actress who is absolutely fighting for Britain, fighting against anti-woke politics, with a comeback version of her hit song Kiss Kiss Kiss, which is now called Kiss Kiss XX My Ass and was released as part of Pauline Hanson's brilliant anti-woke cinema movie.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Watch this. So, you know, I think it's hilarious. It was removed from the iTunes store. Then there was a campaign. Apple's put it back on. But actually, it's just got huge publicity for Holly, who appeared here on Outspoken last week. So G.B News decided to do what they always do and follow a few days later. But ludicrously, it was on their show called Free Speech Nation. Yet when Holly used the word retard, GB News host, Josh Howie, jumped down her throat prompting this hilariously ironic exchange. Watch. Because it feels to us from the UK that Australia has been particularly captured.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Yeah, I never really guessed it because during COVID was the big, like, tester to see how, like the retard meter. And Australia was quite high on that. And that was quite shocking. Sorry for using that word, but that's okay. But, uh, yeah, I think some people, unfortunately, might be offended. Hey, are we not in free speech nation over here? Where am I? You're right. You've got me there. You've got me there. With free speech nation, apart from that one word. Don't say them. No.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Watershed, watershed. But yes, so apart from that one word. Oh, Ben Habib, I cringe so hard. I cringe so hard. I just think GB News has to accept. It's not a free speech channel. It's got to stop going down this path. It's been completely coward by the off-communists.
Starting point is 01:10:02 No doubt Josh Howie had a producer screaming in his ear. I mean, I'm not blaming him personally. Totally. I mean, you're banned. You're banned altogether. So, I mean, how can they talk about free speech? They're taking the need to cancel culture. When you start prohibiting the use of words, however offensive you might find the word, that is cancel culture. That is the opposite of free speech. Banning me, actually, you know, I didn't even use any bad. I don't typically use abusive words or derogatory pejorative terms. I don't do it.
Starting point is 01:10:38 I wasn't ever homophobic or misogynistic or transgenderphobic or any of the other isms and issts on GB News, but they banned me simply because I challenge reform. The day I launched Advanced UK, GB News banned me. And I'm seeing increasingly, I'm sure you're seeing it as well, Dan, and viewers are. Increasingly on social media, or maybe it's just my algorithm, but increasingly on social media, people calling GB News reforms TV channels. Oh, no, they are. And that's not.
Starting point is 01:11:08 And that's not, it's not a good look for GB News. They need to, they need to wake up and discover, you know, what it means to be an independent journey. Well, that's always what it was. That's what upset me so much, Ben, because remember, I was the launch presenter on GB News. And the whole point of GB News was to be independent, to be independent of political parties. Because remember, we had a conservative government at that point, but G.B. News launched in the horror, the shadow of terrible lockdowns.
Starting point is 01:11:36 So even though I had personally voted and supported Boris Johnson in 2019, at the launch of GB News, I campaigned against Boris Johnson and the Conservative government every single damn day over lockdowns, over forced vaccinations. And I think it proved that we were an independent channel because a lot of people were expecting GB News to sort of be Tory propaganda. But unfortunately, something changed after the last election when Nigel Farage all of a sudden was elected and they decided to go. all in with him. But look, there's been another shocking example, I think, of the hypocrisy of the left. And this is with this guy, John Bishop, the comedian, who wants to boycott the World Cup, the Football World Cup, because of Donald Trump. But as Queen B put it, not a peep out of any of these smarmy fuckers when it was hosted in Qatar. Here is John Bishop making his pitch. My feeling is boycott it.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Really? Honestly, I think the World Cup is a joke. I think FIFA giving Donald Trump a big rosette and a peace prize has undermined everything that football's about. I think the fact that it's being played in a country that's threatening not to give visas to the players, to the staff, to the fans. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's a complete embarrassment.
Starting point is 01:13:03 That wasn't the answer you were expecting. It wasn't, but it's not what I entirely disagree with. There's not exactly three lines on your chest, but it is, I think the World Cup is now a joke. I don't think I'll be giving it any time. It's really undermined what football is all about. I mean, Ben Habib, no moral consistency, is it? It is Trump-derangement syndrome.
Starting point is 01:13:25 It's like, oh, let's not talk about politics. You know, when it's in Qatar, where they're literally killing the slaves who are building the stadiums. Yeah, and Qatar is a spokes, you know, is a conduit for Iran. Qatar has a lot of bad stuff going on in and around it. Qatar is a country we should be calling out. I've been saying this for a long, long time, which is presumably why Israel bombed it. You know, it was brought quickly back under control.
Starting point is 01:13:57 But Qatar is a malevolent force in the Middle East. And it's extraordinary to me that people like John, Bishop, a silent on Qatar. And what was the name of Gary Lineca? That's the one I was trying to scratch my head over. I know I shouldn't ever forget the name Gary Linneka, but I did there momentarily. If I think we could forget. And, you know, he was happy to go over to Qatar and take all their millions. And yet he talks about human rights incessantly and people justifiably leaving Syria and these other countries, which are in many cases in the trouble they're in because of the influence that Qatar has in the Middle East. You know, the reason Hamas is armed up is because
Starting point is 01:14:35 Iran puts money through to Hamas via Qatar. Qatar is not a good place. And yet they were quiet over Qatar, going to Qatar, watching the football. But they'll denounce it going to the United States of America because Trump is trying to get immigration back under control. Indeed. Now look, Ben Habib, we have feedback flying in from your parents, specifically in regards to this war, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:01 over Advance UK versus Reform UK. So I want to get to it. But jump in if there's anything you hear that, you know, very much offends you. 14 Barba, thank you for the super chat, by the way, 14 said we really need an advance UK government. But Lin Hoang said, don't split the vote, FFS. Advance isn't going to be in a position in the next few years. So the only one is reform. I don't particularly want to, but we can't afford the green Islam pact to get in anywhere.
Starting point is 01:15:32 But this is precisely the point in time where we must make our mark, because it makes no real difference to what happens in government. When the general election comes, what Advanced UK does will be critical. Right now, Advance UK needs to win the debate. We will only win the debate if we get traction with the British people. We have to stand in this by-election. Anyone who thinks reform is not true that reform is actually just 402.0 needs to recognize the need itself for advance to stand. If we don't stand now, we will never make our mark. We have to stand now and the country needs us to stand now. It's not about splitting the vote. It's about making
Starting point is 01:16:14 our mark. And by God, we're going to do it. Some people are annoyed about the fact that Tommy Robinson didn't know, or it seems like he didn't know that the announcement was coming. Asari and says, vote, Nick Buckley. Shame it wasn't announced before Tommy back to Goodwin. And Ian Murphy said, what an amateurish balls up. Tommy comes out for reform a day before advance announced. So can I just address that? Please. This by-election came out of the blue, and then the deadline of the 26th of February came doubly out of the blue, and we had to move like Greece lightning to get a candidate in place. And we got a first-class candidate in place, and the minute we could announce, Nick,
Starting point is 01:16:51 we announced him. These things happen. It's a dynamic environment. It's not about bad planning. But also, one last point, Tommy is a member. No members were informed about Nick Buckley standing before the world was informed. Why would they be? Lots of other comments too. Mandy Kumar says all the other parties are worried Advance UK will get ahead of them. So trying to shut them up about Nick standing. It's Nick's turf.
Starting point is 01:17:17 He did so much for this area. So tough shit. God is Love, 1015, says Ben Habibu of Advance UK is a lion. He has the political will, wisdom and ability. to restore the UK back to safety, security and prosperity. Vote for Advance or perish with the establishment parties. Although Mark Wise says, I wish the right would unite.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Splitting the vote worries me. Can't they sort their differences out and all pull in the same direction? Respect, Ben, always enjoy your honest and eloquent words. Cat Weasel 21 says, I had my doubts at first, but my support stays with Advance UK. Ford with the people, Mr. Habib, but she adds, I love Jeremy Clarkson, by the way. Puds, though, says,
Starting point is 01:17:56 Rupert Lowe is able to move the Overton window easier outside the confines of a party. He's doing that. Ben is building the bones. Okay, so Huds is sort of on board with what you're saying. And Tony Max says Matt Goodwin versus Nick Buckley, the local hero of Gorton, and decorated by our late queen versus a bloke who wrote the leftist handbook and recently converted to reform. No comparison. Vote Nick Buckley. I mean, that is worth me asking you, Ben, Habib, actually. Do you think that this Damascene conversion from Matt Goodwin is genuine?
Starting point is 01:18:31 Because, of course, he used to even work with hope not hate. You know, he's gone. Some people are on political journeys, and you have to accept it that they are on political journeys. I think Jeremy Clarkson is living and breathing, and we're watching that journey take place. Sharon Osborne, absolutely. She's coming into politics, being drawn into it by what she sees.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Matt Goodwin was a complete attack dog for the far left, absolutely wanting to hope. He was an ally with hope not hate, wanted to shut down any debate about immigration, the rapid change of our demography. He regarded all of that as abhorrent that debate. And now suddenly he's found himself having this conversion. I don't accept far left to right wing.
Starting point is 01:19:18 It doesn't happen. In the middle, people might wake up. and they may change from being a Remainer one day because they were for 40 years run by the EU and then realize actually Remain wasn't the right vote and realize that a sovereign independent United Kingdom is the way forward. I buy that. I do not buy far left allied with hope not hate becoming a reform member. And remember one thing about another thing about Matt Goodwin. He's a pollster. Yes. He is the ultimate in following political wins. And every debate I've ever had with Matt Goodwin, has turned on the fact that reform has momentum,
Starting point is 01:19:55 Ben, it has momentum. And I keep trying to remind him that it's about political philosophy and principle that we need to be concerned, not just momentum. He just follows momentum. Morality, indeed. Indeed. Okay, we'll look, very strong response.
Starting point is 01:20:10 But Ben Habib, stick around because we're going to reveal today's Union Jackass and Greatest Britain now. You provided the nominees, but of course the outspoken audience decide on the... winner. So here were Ben Habib's nominations for today. Billy Eilish, after that ludicrous Grammy speech where she said, you know, no one owns any land whatsoever, which means that no one can
Starting point is 01:20:33 be illegal. And, you know, the US is built on stolen land. Okay, then I'm sure you're going to give your $14 million mansion away, are you, Billy Eilish, to the Indians. David Lammy, he was nominated for his U-turn-on-Jury trials by Ben Habib and Lord Mandelson over the catastrophic revelations regarding him in the Epstein files. So Ben, the results are now in from the outspoken audience. In third position with 16% of the vote, Billy Eilish, the runner up with 27% of the vote, David Lammy, but with 58% of the vote. Today's union jackass, the worst Britain in the world today, Peter Mandelson. I mean, Ben, no surprise there, right? It had to be there. That was the right choice, yeah. The people got it right again. Again. And Ben's nomination for Greatest
Starting point is 01:21:21 Britain today, sticking with the theme, is Nick Buckley for standing in the by-election with close to no notice. And Ben, you will be pleased to know. I believe Nick Buckley will be here on outspoken later in the week. But let me tell you. I also asked Matt Goodwin. You know, I said, Matt, I'll travel to Manchester. You know, he's been on the show before, wasn't interested for a single second. And I just thought that actually, that's not about me. That shows such a disregard to the outspoken audience. He's nervous of you, Dan, because you might actually ask him some questions. Yes, well, you know I do.
Starting point is 01:21:59 You know I do. I always ask the tough questions. Even have you, Ben, Habib, but so brilliant to have you on Outspoken today. Good luck with the event at the weekend. I will be there covering it, of course. And coming up, we have a special Royal Uncanceled After Show, and we're going to host it right here on YouTube. Don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 01:22:17 What should happen is that immediately, when this edition, of the show ends, this live edition, we will immediately move over to the special Royals and Crisis edition of the show discussing and analysing the repercussions on the British monarchy from the latest release of the Epstein Files, which of course significantly feature Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. Standing by right now are the Royal News Network and Lauren the Insider. So as I say, just stay here, stay tuned here to watch that next video. but we will also be back with you, as usual, 5pm UK time tomorrow, midday Eastern, 9am Pacific.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Most importantly, I promise to keep fighting for you.
