00:00Ben Habib, former deputy leader of reform, how I am, honestly, this week, Ben, I don't think I've been more
00:06embarrassed to be British, and I hate to even contemplate saying that.
00:11Yeah, well, it's not the first thought that comes from, I'm embarrassed by our ineptitude, by our government's ineptitude.
00:19You know, if you cast your mind back to 1991, the first Gulf War, which was a just war, a
00:25war to liberate Kuwait,
00:26the British Armed Forces were spectacular.
00:32No!
00:33You know, we did bombing runs, which the Americans couldn't undertake.
00:37I completely agree, you cut out there, sorry mate, you cut out for a second there.
00:42When you look at Starmer's response, when you consider the way he's acted, how do we look internationally, Ben?
00:51We look weak, and it's not just a matter of how he reacted,
00:55it's the fact that we are incapable of getting our act together.
01:00As you've rightly pointed out, that destroyer is still in the British harbour.
01:04It hasn't even left port yet, perhaps it's leaving today, but it hasn't even left port yet.
01:11We, you know, we rule the waves.
01:14We now can't get a flipping ship out to a war zone in under two weeks.
01:19It is absolutely pathetic.
01:21And then when he says the route to de-escalation is for Iran to disarm, well, what's he been smoking?
01:27There is no chance.
01:29What's he been smoking?
01:30There's no chance of Iran disarming.
01:33No.
01:33Then look at the Mullahs, after 50 years of being belligerent, creating proxy wars across the Middle East,
01:40perpetrating terrorism across the West, why would they suddenly say, well, OK, folks, we relent, we're just going to disarm,
01:47we're going to become nice guys, we're going to give up our nuclear programme, you can now trust us,
01:52let's all sit around and kumbaya, I'm sorry about that, that was 47 years of mistakes.
01:57It's absolutely absurd.
01:59It is absurd, and actually, and I want to go back to this, because I think this is the point
02:06that is the most important,
02:07and we've got such a stellar line-up today to discuss this.
02:11This is not me being, advocating we should have been in that first wave, right?
02:17That's irrelevant to me now.
02:19I'll bring it back to what I said to you before, the job of any prime minister in this country,
02:22male or female,
02:23whatever political persuasion or party, is to defend this country and defend its people.
02:28This man, this is the thing for me, is patently unqualified, morally, psychologically, ethically,
02:37whichever way you want to describe, to lead the British people right now.
02:40It turns out he was in favour of supporting the Americans,
02:43but Red Ed Miliband and the Cabinet cohorts, who have never done a day's job in their lives,
02:51decided that it wouldn't look great, and I would respectfully ask you this question,
02:55because Ian Duncan-Smith answered it unequivocally on Wednesday.
02:59I think that this government is guilty of putting their own political survival
03:05before the national interest of the United Kingdom,
03:08and that, for me, is the worst thing about this, Ben.
03:11Dreadful.
03:12I think they are putting their own political ideologies, which is basically anti-British,
03:19ahead of our national interest.
03:21They stand against this country.
03:23Ed Miliband stands against an energy-independent, low-energy, pro-industrial United Kingdom.
03:30He stands against that.
03:31Keir Starmer wants to take our borders down, hand the UK back to the European Union.
03:36That's what he's doing.
03:37All this shuttling between Brussels and London at the moment
03:40is effectively giving back the United Kingdom to the European Union.
03:43This time, we won't even have any representation.
03:46At the same time, they're making our military incapable.
03:49And, of course, we've got this continued assault on the United Kingdom
03:54by people coming across in dinghies.
03:56The US can sink an Iranian destroyer in the Indian Ocean.
03:59They argue it's the first one that's sunk by a torpedo since World War II.
04:03And we can't stop a flipping dinghy in the channel.
04:06That is the extent to which this country has sunk.
04:10And it is putting a sign on our foreheads that we are vulnerable to any enemy action
04:17that wishes to take the United Kingdom.
04:19We are a complete basket case of a country.
04:23We've forgotten what it means to be a country.
04:26We don't have borders.
04:27We don't defend ourselves.
04:28We don't make decisions in the national interest.
04:30We are hijacked by ideologies which stand against our people and our country.
04:35And that is what the Labour government are giving succor to.
04:38And they're stuck on this bandwagon and they will not get off it.
04:41And I think the starkest reminder of how absolutely stupid our Prime Minister is,
04:48inviting a number of Muslims to the Great Hall in Westminster a few days ago
04:54to an iftar party and then addressing them and saying, I'm with you, I'm not bombing Iran.
05:00So he knows there are constituencies in this country who, for their own religious and ideological reasons,
05:07are against us attacking Iran.
05:09And he is giving them the decision on whether or not this country does what's right for this country.
05:15I actually think we should have been part of that first wave.
05:18I think we should have had the RAF standing shoulder to shoulder with the Americans
05:23and bombing Iran and making it utterly clear that the West is united
05:28and that we will not tolerate this terroristic theocracy any longer.
05:33But the Americans didn't even inform us that they were going to attack.
05:37That's how much respect they've lost for us.
05:40They told the Poles, they didn't tell us.
05:42We are losing the plot.
05:44We need to change the way this country is governed.
05:47We've got to do it quickly.
05:48It's really interesting.
05:49And it's about leadership.
05:50And I concur with everything you've said.
05:53Leadership is not easy.
05:54Leadership is about making decisions that sometimes you perhaps wouldn't make,
05:58but you have to stand tall.
06:00I use Maggie as an example.
06:01She was the most unpa...
06:03Charlie really played an interesting game earlier.
06:04He was saying, you know, you are the most useless Prime Minister.
06:07Your poll rating is lower than anybody.
06:09There is not a cat in hell's chance of you being re-elected.
06:12And some way, you'd sit in 10 Downing Street, you'd think about Thatcher before the Falklands.
06:16I'm not saying you used the war, but she showed what Britain was capable of
06:20by saying to those people on the Falklands, the 850 of them who were Brits,
06:24we're going to be there for you.
06:26Starmer could have turned it, but no, no.
06:27When I watch him, on the one hand, I think this is all about party politics.
06:32I am absolutely convinced every single day he is utterly, utterly out of his depth.
06:39And for the people who go, oh, you're just, you know, you're being anti...
06:43No, no, no, no, no.
06:44This is us.
06:45This is now.
06:45This is the real world.
06:47I don't have to agree, Ben, with everything Donald Trump says or does.
06:51But we are a laughing stock.
06:53The mail is right.
06:54I've just...
06:55This is brilliant.
06:55This is...
06:56Listen to this.
06:57This is somebody who's gone to work this morning and he's gone, he's gone...
07:01He said, he said, I live in Cyprus, I feel safe, but I cannot believe that my government
07:10hasn't done something for me.
07:12Luxembourg is landlocked, Ben Habib, for Christ's sake, and they've sent a boat.
07:17We can't do it.
07:19We've lost the ability to do it.
07:21Have we all the will?
07:22The ability or the will?
07:24Well, the will went and then the ability followed.
07:27And, you know, you look at our...
07:30You look at the...
07:31There's a photograph of the British Navy in 1953 at the coronation of the Queen.
07:35And it stretches out as far as the eye can see.
07:38This was after World War II, after we'd been through a hell of a lot of trouble.
07:42We still had a formidable military, as evidenced by Margaret Thatcher's ability to go all the
07:47way across the world to the Falklands to defend 3,000 British citizens and 10,000 sheep.
07:53And now we can't even get...
07:56And now we can't even get a flipping boat out of our docks.
08:00I mean, it's just so depressing.
08:02It's so depressing.
08:03We've got the Indian Air Force training RAF pilots.
08:08Indian Air Force training RAF pilots.
08:10How the hell did that happen?
08:11Can I just say to people tuning in, because Ben and I are right on one this morning, we've
08:17got the former Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace.
08:19We've got the former Commander-in-Chief of UK Land Forces, General Sir Nick Parker.
08:22We've got Sir Simon Mayer, who was the British Army General in charge as well.
08:26We've got loads.
08:27Ben, I'm going to ask people in Alarm Clock Britain to take a breath, because that's bad
08:33enough.
08:33But what I read on page 10 of the Mail this morning has left people deranged with madness.
08:40Um, did you know that if you break into this country illegally, and you live here in a
08:45hotel with your family or without, and you get given money not to work, and you probably
08:51don't speak English, that the Labour Party, under Shabana Mahmood's leadership here in
08:56the Home Office, have come up with a fantastic answer, ladies and gentlemen.
08:59And there it is, on page 10 of the Daily Mail.
09:03Failed asylum families will be paid £40,000 tax-free cash to leave this country.
09:09So to every working Brit who got up this morning or has done a night shift and pays
09:14tax, don't bother.
09:16And do you know the saddest thing, Ben?
09:18I've had thousands of people already saying, I'll leave, give me £40,000 and I'll sod off
09:23out of England right now.
09:25That is, I mean, that's another thing that sends me over the edge, man.
09:30It is absolutely absurd.
09:32What they should be doing is repealing the Human Rights Act, kicking the European Convention
09:36of Human Rights in its court out of the fabric of British legislation, and enforcing our borders,
09:42refusing entry to these dinghies, removing all benefits.
09:45Anyone here illegally should be arrested, put incarcerated and then held incarcerated until
09:50either they voluntarily go home or they're deported.
09:53It's as simple as that.
09:55You don't meet a threat by trying to bargain with it and incentivise it.
10:01You meet a threat by force, head-on force.
10:04You make it a hostile environment for that threat in the country, and you prevent that
10:09threat from manifesting itself.
10:10That's how you do it.
10:11It's basic.
10:12It's basic.
10:14I'm going to play your voice note while you and I quietly seethe.
10:17Boz, good morning.
10:19Morning, JK.
10:20Breakfast team travelling.
10:20Morning, Boz here.
10:21So, 40 grand.
10:22So, everyone breaks in.
10:24It's a hotel for about four months.
10:26Brings their family as well.
10:27Has dental care.
10:28Has an operation, maybe, on the national wealth.
10:32And then gets 40 grand to go back.
10:34Fantastic.
10:35And then it's like a relay team.
10:37The next lot come in.
10:38It's ridiculous.
10:39Just shut the borders down completely.
10:41If you've got no documents, you're not allowed in.
10:44Okay?
10:44You arrive at an airport.
10:46You ain't got a document.
10:46You're not allowed in.
10:47Let's get some common sense here.
10:50Hey?
10:50Ben, when I do this and people, I come off and they go, you're very angry.
10:55I don't even understand how a person with no brain cells thinks that you are going to sell to the
11:01British people right now that you'll give 40 grand tax-free to a family who have broken into our country
11:08illegally.
11:09For all those people who today will work and pay tax, whose food bills, whose energy bills, whose general life
11:16has gone through.
11:16It is an absolute pee take.
11:19I don't...
11:19It's beyond my comprehension, mate.
11:21I don't get it.
11:22I mean, for the average Britain, that's having to earn 70,000 or 80,000 quid to get the 40
11:29grand.
11:29Yeah.
11:29I mean, and it's just having broken into the country illegally and having had it determined that they shouldn't be
11:35here, that they should leave.
11:37These are failed asylum applicants.
11:40No, the whole thing is a joke.
11:42The whole...
11:42We're just living in some kind of dystopian nightmare where the United Kingdom is being dissembled in front of our
11:49eyes on purpose.
11:51Do you think, on a serious note, to finish, because we can rail all day, I mean, listen to this
11:55quickly, right?
11:56Michael, 40 grade would have covered my tuition fees at medical school instead of a lifetime of debt.
12:00But clearly, these people who break into our country with no right to be here are more deserving than the
12:05indigenous population.
12:06That sums it up.
12:07Do you think that this ideology, and it's a great...
12:10Oh, God, I've just seen Lammy on the sky.
12:12That's going to turn my stomach as well.
12:13Do you think that this will ever change?
12:16Do you think that the groundswell of, can we please talk common sense, will return?
12:22It will change.
12:23It has to change.
12:25What I'm hoping is that it changes peacefully at the ballot box, because at some point, the British people will
12:31rise up.
12:32And what we've got to do as politicians, our job is to ensure that we act before that happens, that
12:39we deliver for the British people.
12:40Starmer, you talked about his political survival.
12:43If he wants to survive, he needs to change his party's ideology.
12:46He needs to listen to what he's being told.
12:48The polls mark him down at 17, 18 percent, because they hate what...
12:53The British people hate what he's doing.
12:54If he wants to be popular and survive, it's simple.
12:58I can give him five points he needs to adopt, and if he adopts them, his popularity would soar.
13:04He would see off every other political party.
13:07Five things.
13:08Get rid of the Human Rights Act, get rid of the Equalities Act, cut welfare back, cut taxes, and make
13:15us energy...
13:15Ditch net zero and make us energy independent again.
13:18Those five things.
13:19And the British and the United Kingdom would be saved.
13:21Like that.
13:22And his popularity would go through the roof.
13:24He hasn't got the courage to do it because he's surrounded by a bunch of idiots.
13:27Excuse my French.
13:28I don't think he can fart without asking the Cabinet anymore, or the Parliamentary Labour Party.
13:32He wanted to cut five billion off a welfare bill that needs tens of billions cut, and in the end
13:37it was nothing.
13:38The man...
13:38I mean, allegedly, the other day, he wanted to support the Americans, and Red Ed Miliband led a Cabinet revolt
13:43against it.
13:44He is utterly...
13:46Apart from being incompetent, he can't do anything, Ben, and as we sit and watch, it gets worse and worse.
13:52It's lovely to have you on because it makes me realise that I'm not going mad alone, because it's quite
13:57a sad life at the moment, because I sit here, apart from the listeners, thinking, is any day going to...
14:02Because it's worrying, mate, right?
14:03It's worrying.
14:04It is very worrying.
14:06It is very worrying.
14:07And there will come a time where peace in this country ceases to be.
14:10And we've got to make sure it's politic.
14:12We've got to make sure that doesn't happen.
14:14We've got to deliver for the country before the people start removing us forcefully.
14:19Ben, an absolute pleasure as ever.
14:21We love having you on.
14:22Leader of Advance UK, Ben Habib, thank you very much.
