Gloria Meets...

Pat McFadden has vowed to reform Britain' benefits system in his first interview since messages he sent to Peter Mandleson were published.Speaking to GB News, the Work and Pensions Secretary spoke on the private exchange with the New Labour architect over his frustrations with Labour’s welfare agenda.“Every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others'. They're asking the wrong questions,” Mr McFadden said to Lord Mandelson.The embarrassing messages were released on Monday as part of a second tranche of files relating to the disgraced peer's short-lived appointment as US ambassador and dealings with the Government.

Katie Lam has dismissed rumours she is set to defect to Reform, while launching a scathing attack on former colleague Robert Jenrick.In an exclusive interview with GB News, Ms Lam accused Mr Jenrick of dishonesty and said his departure from the party had revealed a side of his character she had not previously seen.Speaking to Gloria De Piero in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday afternoon, Ms Lam was asked about her relationship with Mr Jenrick, whom she had supported in the Conservative leadership race.She said: “We still don't talk. I haven't spoken to him. I haven't heard from him since he left the party. It's a funny combination of the political and the professional and the personal. It is sad, and it is hurtful when anybody, when any voter, when any councillor, an MP leaves the party to go anywhere else. It's particularly difficult when somebody is being quite dishonest for quite a long time. It is really difficult if, you know, when you've been at events and you've heard somebody say all of these things that clearly can't really have been true?”Ms Lam said the episode had left her questioning her own judgement.Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWSBecome a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend

ANAS Sarwar has urged people to vote Labour in Scotland, even if they don’t like Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves.In an exclusive GB News interview Mr Sarwar said he backed the Prime Minister, while admitting "things need to improve". But he said the upcoming Holyrood elections were not about the PM or the Chancellor: they were about the future of Scotland.And Mr Sarwar believes, despite the state of the polls, Labour will go on to win and depose the SNP after nearly two years in power, saying they’d mirror the fight shown by the Scottish football team.He also spoke out to praise the Home Secretary commending the way she is tackling the immigration crisis.Asked about Labour’s election chances he told Ms De Piero: “In six months’ time, the choice is not going to be about who the UK Labour government is.“The choice is not going to be about who the Prime Minister is. Keir Starmer is not standing to be First Minister. Rachel Reeves is not standing to be First Minister. Nigel Farage is not standing to be First Minister. Me and John Swinney are standing to be First Minister.“And the choice that people have in that election in six months is, do we have a third decade of the SNP in charge with record long NHS waiting lists, our schools falling down the international league tables, billions of pounds of lost and wasted money and the priorities and, for example, the cultural issues that the SNP continue to pursue, or are we going to take a different direction with me as First Minister?“That's the choice, and I'm really confident when that choice is put in front of people in Scotland, they'll vote for that new direction. “So we're kind of like the Scotland team qualifying for the World Cup. The underdog, always talked down but got over the line and made history, qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years. Labour is going to do the same, winning for the first time in 20 years in Scotland.”

Choking scenes in online pornography should be made illegal to help counter “an avalanche of violence” towards young women and girls, a Labour MP has said. Speaking exclusively to GB News, Jess Asato told how she will go to Parliament next week and call for a change in the law to ban the scenes, which are already outlawed in other forms of "offline" pornography. Ms Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, is also going to push for new laws which would help ensure girls aged under 18 aren’t being featured in X-rated films. She fears the use of underage girls in porn is opening up a “gateway” to abuse - and has demanded OFCOM imposes massive fines on those firms who fail to make proper checks, and clean up their act.
