Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]Um, and let's have Keir Starmer introduce it because Keir Starmer yesterday was walking up Downing Street and this was not staged at all. He walked across and started talking to the press. Have a look.

[00:00:11]Good morning.

[00:00:13]Very pleased to see the migration figures this morning come down significantly.

[00:00:19]Um, and that's obviously on the top of the news about waiting lists last week where we had a record drop in waiting lists. And of course the news about growth, the money we've got in our economy, the fastest growing economy in the G7. So that's all really good news within about a week or so.

[00:00:35]And of course today we're announcing cost of living package for the summer for families. So I'm really proud that we're getting on and delivering. Thank you very much.

[00:00:43]>> Is it all too little, too late do you think, Prime Minister?

[00:00:44]>> is really good delivery. This is really significant. So I'm very, very pleased.

[00:00:47]All of those figures are good news.

[00:00:49]Taken together, they're a very strong package.

[00:00:51]>> you willing to take on Andy Burnham in the leadership contest?

[00:00:55]Do you think your time as Prime Minister is over, Keir Starmer? Never. He's like a right? I know that that's not what you're supposed to say.

[00:01:02]>> Don't say that. But I Well, listen, I can say it because it's in the independent channel. He's there walking up, you know, obviously it's it's it's a staged thing, right? He's So his PR's come out and gone, right, the Prime Minister's going to be walking up the street.

[00:01:14]>> out for a stroll to buy a pint of milk.

[00:01:17]>> Yeah, been out to Whitehall, you know, just wandering about.

[00:01:20]>> Yeah, gone to that Tesco's on the corner, >> [laughter] >> by Westminster station.

[00:01:23]>> Get across one for Lady Victoria.

[00:01:26]>> one for Lady Vic. Oh, no, she's not here.

[00:01:28]She hasn't been seen for some time. Um, I love it. And then he goes, he's really happy that we've stopped migration. Now, hang on a minute, surely to God >> Yeah. migration is our strength. We like diversity. We want more people to come here because we need them to work in the NHS. We need them to come here and fill the jobs that people in Britain don't want to do. So why are they celebrating the fact that they've now managed to stop loads of people coming, which in fact isn't true anyway, because any reason that we know that the the figures have gone down is because more and more people are actually leaving. And all over the papers today >> 167 >> Brits have left.

[00:02:01]>> Yes. And all over the papers today as well, or inside the papers, is the story about young people more and more fleeing broken Britain for better lives abroad, better jobs abroad, better pay, >> Yeah. sunnier climes, people going to Australia, people just going to work abroad and living well.

[00:02:16]>> hell out. Because guess what? Britain's been turned into an absolute and utter nightmare thanks to people like him who have brought many cultures to Britain.

[00:02:24]It's The The country has changed and I love Britain and it's changed out of all recognition and it's in such a bad state.

[00:02:30]>> isn't it?

[00:02:31]>> And that's in summer. It's in such a bad state.

[00:02:33]>> But how can they be so hypocritical?

[00:02:34]This is This is similar. Reminds me >> all along, "Oh, migration is a problem."

[00:02:37]No, no, no, migration is good. Migration is good.

[00:02:40]>> All refugees welcome. All borders open.

[00:02:42]Now they're saying it's good and they're not saying that way. Shabana Mahmood, did you see her posters yesterday? You will be If you come to our country, you will not be welcome if you commit crime here. Right.

[00:02:53]>> can come, but not Try not to commit any crime. Well, how about you've already committed a crime by coming here illegally? That's already a crime. So, you should be arresting them as soon as they get off the bleeding boat, you stupid woman, you know? I mean, it's just ridiculous. But here's the other thing. Um we've had, you know, decade after decade now of this ridiculous mantra that you know, we can't exist without immigration, you know, immigrants built Britain and you know, all Who do you expect to look after you in the NHS?

[00:03:18]>> Yeah, the Windrush generation built everything, you know, before the Windrush generation Britain didn't exist. Do me a favor, would you? For heaven's sake, you know, it's just complete and utter cobblers. And Starmer there, I I mean, I I I I don't think I could hate him even more, but I actually now do hate him even more than I did.

[00:03:34]>> You've reminded me Watching that clip has reminded me, uh cuz I was thinking, well, I hate Miliband, greeting Burnham, Rayner. None of them. None of the above.

[00:03:42]Tick, tick, tick for my leadership vote, which I don't get. And then seeing that clip has reminded me And why you hate him.

[00:03:49]>> Thank you. it's brilliant, look at that.

[00:03:52]What a should we just Should we just read this out?

[00:03:54]>> read it.

[00:03:59]But but it has actually just reminded me that Starmer is the worst of all.

[00:04:02]And then he gets asked the question he doesn't want to answer, he just walks off.

[00:04:06]Oh. I know I know we don't have long, Mike, but I think we need to recur to two Fridays ago when we talked about that bet because I think he's >> the bet. Yes.

[00:04:15]I'm still confident that I Well, okay.

[00:04:17]So, lots of people have said to me, "Ooh, Mike's So So, for people who don't know, I want a tenner off you cuz Starmer's still in place, right?" Yes, cuz he didn't leave by the 8th of May.

[00:04:24]He didn't leave You said he'd be out after the local Well, originally you said he'd be out the day after the general election, and he wasn't.

[00:04:30]So, I think And we discussed this during the week. I think that with Pooj, we agreed that if he was still in place by cuz I say he'll still be in place by the summer.

[00:04:41]Who says So, if Starmer is still in place, it then becomes five to one. It's 50 quid then. Yeah. So, let's think about Mike's going to win his tenner back. A, I don't think so, but the tenner is still at home on the counter top waiting for you.

[00:04:56]All right. Secondly, >> [laughter] >> Sorry, go ahead. I was going to say the funniest story One of the funniest story, Mike fancies Emma. Of course I fancy Emma. Why wouldn't I? Um, you know, um, Starmer comes out yesterday and goes, Well, in that case, it's not five It's 50, it's 500. I'm coming up to I'm coming up to campaign on your behalf.

[00:05:14]>> Oh yeah.

[00:05:14]>> Which is pretty much going to finish Burnham off, isn't it? You know, the last thing he wants is Starmer, you know, like you know, actually campaigning for him.

[00:05:21]>> And does it benefit Starmer or like Which way around is this? It's now become such a psychodrama that Starmer campaigns for >> now wants to campaign for Burnham in order to to >> in order to to screw him up. Yeah, absolutely.

[00:05:32]>> To screw Oh, to screw up Burnham. To screw up Burnham, yeah. To keep his own place. Yeah, because otherwise, why you know, why is he going to campaign on behalf of somebody who wants to take his job?

[00:05:40]>> I know, it's crazy though. Right? So, anyway, it becomes a 50-pound a pot on On the 21st.

[00:05:47]Which probably >> The election though is on the 18th, right? Now, if Burnham wins, which I don't think he will, by the way, although he might, because they might fix the vote. They might just get Angela Rayner's mates in from Tameside and go, "You know, do you mind sending in about 50,000 postal votes, Mr. Mr. Mohammed Ali?" Yeah, that's fine. Thank you very much indeed. We'll do all that. Um But say, for example, he doesn't win.

[00:06:07]>> Yeah. Starmer then >> So, Makerfield's June the 18th.

[00:06:10]>> If Makerfield's June the 18th, if Starmer doesn't if if Burnham doesn't win, Starmer may have a bit longer in power than otherwise.

[00:06:18]>> I know. I know what you're trying to But if Burnham wins Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're trying to You're trying to muddy the waters. No. We've got an agreement, June the 21st. If [clears throat] Starmer is still the legal, not squatter, if you cuz I can imagine him just staying.

[00:06:30]>> [laughter] >> If he is still the legal resident of number 10 Right. Downing Street Yes. SW1 Yeah. then it's 50 pounds.

[00:06:39]>> listen, I'm not a shirker on the fact that >> to a charity of your choosing. Okay. How about me? The charity of my choosing.

[00:06:46]Cuz I need to have more money It'll be on the charity soon. on the business that the Red Tories are trying to steal everybody's money. I know. I know. And we nobody's got any left. I mean, that's the problem.

[00:06:55]>> So, so that's the bet. So, good. I'm glad we got that clear. So, we've got that sorted out. Um one final question for you. Um if you go to the ladies um convenience, as it were, um and you see somebody in there who might look a bit trans, even though they're not supposed to be there, you're not allowed to ask them what their gender is.

[00:07:13]You know, I I know it's a funny one, but It's not funny, actually. This is really Mostly nowadays, unfortunately, toilets are sort of unisex. They have this unisex thing, which women hate. I know.

[00:07:22]Only because mostly men are quite messy in toilets.

[00:07:26]Women don't want unisex toilets, anyway.

[00:07:28]But if you have in your private space, in a women's toilet or the women's changing room, which is the thing that I see every day at the pool, if there was a man in there, cuz we walk around naked in the women's changing room, the women do, and >> the kids. Right. And if there was a full-grown man who walked into the women's changing room and claimed to be a woman, I would find that, and I'm not a shrinking violet, I would find that incredibly frightening. So, I think that we've got a way to go on working out exactly what we mean by trans and woman and man [laughter] and everything because >> what's the point of having a law if you don't actually have any ability to carry the law out? So, that if you are as a woman We know what the ruling was.

[00:08:07]Yeah. We know what the ruling was.

[00:08:08]>> It was biological gender.

[00:08:09]>> Biological women are the only people who can be called properly women, right? And so, they've actually even I mean, even Bridget Phillipson, God help us. I mean, she's an idiot, but even she has come out this week and said, "We will enforce it, right?" However, you can't enforce it if you're not allowed to ask people what their gender is. So, you can't go up to some guy waving his stuff around going, "Excuse me, um you would appear to be a man. Would you mind leaving?"

[00:08:32]You can't do that. So, what's the point of the law? Exactly. You know?

[00:08:35]>> we've gotten into a real mess over this, and women absolutely >> be this difficult.

[00:08:39]>> are not transphobic, but women and children are not safe when you have this kind of un- lack of clarity.

[00:08:45]>> Yeah. Exactly. Because the only people, frankly, who would want to use a women's toilet who are not women are not doing it for a good reason as far as I know.

[00:08:54]You know, I don't think they're kind of victims of of some kind of gender dysphoria. They are just people who want to be in a women's space when they shouldn't be.

[00:09:01]>> But the fact is, Mike, over the last few decades, we had we had men who dressed as women and lived their lives as women without claiming to be actual biological women. Um and and they managed, you know, they managed. I know it wasn't easy. I'm talking about sort of older men that that you would see sometimes in dresses and makeup, but they managed to live their lives without offending anyone or without claiming.

[00:09:20]>> It was just that they were seen as a bit different.

[00:09:22]>> they weren't insistent on being in that space, which I think they now seem to be. Yeah. Anyway, sorry to to to bore you with that because I know that's quite an important issue for a lot of people. Um bank holiday weekend though, um so, you're not going away or anything. You're not You didn't You're you're forward to >> Just steal it. No, it I I I am absolutely looking forward to every single moment with my precious child.

[00:09:41]It's just tough. It's just difficult.

[00:09:43]And we've only just come back from the Easter break. This is what's ridiculous.

[00:09:47]>> you can make it >> of mine said, who has five children, she said she said this has been the shortest half term back at school ever. Right. I mean now they're back off again.

[00:09:55]>> I know. And then, do you know what? In a minute, we've got the summer holidays, which are long, long, long. And it is tough, but of course it's glorious to spend every minute Look, the weather is going to be amazing.

[00:10:04]>> be hot though, isn't it?

[00:10:04]>> is going to be hotter than Barbados, hotter than the Hotter than the Seychelles. What's the cliche? Hotter than No, it's it's usually hotter than Mallorca or something.

[00:10:13]>> Seriously, I think the UK by Monday is going to be about 33°, so it is going to be amazing. Which will be nice. Don't forget to carry a bottle of water with you when you are on public transport.

[00:10:23]>> will help you. If you can find somebody who's actually working over the bank holiday, you know, good luck with that.

[00:10:28]Uh Emma, great to see you. Thank you very
