Joining me now is the shadow home

0:01

secretary Chris Phelp. Mr. Phelp, great

0:05

to see you this morning, but very

0:06

worrying scenes out of America. What's

0:09

your reaction to what's gone on

0:10

overnight?

0:14

>> Good morning, Camila. Yes, very worrying

0:16

indeed. Whenever democratically elected

0:19

leaders or people running for office get

0:21

attacked in the way that President Trump

0:24

was, uh, it's something that should

0:25

deeply deeply alarm all of us because it

0:27

was an attack not just on Donald Trump

0:30

as an individual, but an attack on the

0:31

entire democratic system itself.

0:34

Whenever elected politicians are

0:36

attacked in this way or are subject to

0:39

intimidation, it is undermining our

0:41

democratic system. That is why it is so

0:43

serious. I'm glad President Trump is

0:45

okay. I'm glad that they've rapidly

0:47

apprehended the person responsible and I

0:51

think the security services in America,

0:52

the Secret Service as they call it, need

0:55

to make sure the security around the

0:56

president and of course his majesty the

0:58

king who is flying out there is stepped

1:00

up.

1:01

>> How worried should we be about uh King

1:04

Charles and Queen Camila traveling out

1:06

to Washington? I thought it was

1:07

significant that in the prime minister's

1:09

statement he referenced the potential

1:11

for this being an attack on the freedom

1:13

of the press. We've got our two most

1:16

senior royals, the US president and

1:19

indeed a huge media presence all

1:22

together next week. Should we be worried

1:25

and should security be significantly

1:26

stepped up, Mr. Phil?

1:30

>> Well, I certainly think security should

1:31

be urgently reviewed to make sure there

1:33

are no loopholes. I mean, security

1:34

around the king is very high rightly

1:37

anyway, but it should be reviewed and if

1:39

necessary stepped up. We can't take any

1:41

risks at all. But I think it is

1:43

important the trip does go ahead because

1:45

we can't allow the actions of people who

1:48

commit acts of violence to stop our

1:50

political process and our diplomatic

1:52

process from going ahead. We can never

1:54

let violence prevail. And just as for

1:57

example Margaret Thatcher went ahead

1:59

with her speech uh in the 1980s after

2:01

that awful IRA bomb attack. We should

2:04

not allow these kind of attacks to

2:05

prevent or disrupt uh politics and

2:08

diplomacy continuing as usual.

2:11

Let's just move it back to domestic

2:13

matters. Mr. Phelp, the prime minister

2:16

this morning has given an interview to

2:17

the Sunday Times in which he claims he

2:20

will be around to fight the next general

2:23

election for Labor. What's your reaction

2:24

to that headline?

2:27

>> Well, I think it's laughable, frankly.

2:29

He's barely going to be around to fight

2:30

the local elections in a week and a

2:32

half, let alone the general election in

2:34

3 years time. Frankly, Kstarma should

2:38

resign straight away. Partly because he

2:40

had the misjudgment to appoint Peter

2:42

Mandlesson as US ambassador despite his

2:44

links to Russia and China and to Jeffrey

2:47

Epstein because he lied during the

2:49

general election campaign saying he

2:51

wouldn't put up taxes, but he's put up

2:52

taxes all over the place. So, frankly,

2:55

Star should resign. And if he doesn't

2:57

resign, Labour MPs and ministers should

3:00

have the backbone to get rid of him

3:02

because he is a catastrophic prime

3:04

minister who is seriously damaging our

3:06

national interest with every minute that

3:08

he remains in office.

3:10

>> Well, he's clearly not going to resign

3:11

because he's given that interview this

3:13

morning saying, "I intend to stick

3:14

around for the next general election."

3:16

>> Are you planning a trip this year? Well,

3:18

staying connected when traveling abroad

3:20

is the one thing everyone worries about,

3:23

and that's where Sy comes in, the

3:25

sponsor of this video. SLY is an app

3:28

that gives you instant mobile data in

3:30

200 destinations without ridiculous

3:32

roaming charges. There's no physical SIM

3:35

cards, no airport cues, and no dodgy

3:39

vending machines. Here's how it works.

3:41

Download the SY app, pick your country,

3:43

choose your data plan, and install the

3:46

eim once. Then when you land, it

3:48

activates instantly. You're online

3:51

straight away. Maps are working, Uber's

3:53

booked, and your photos are uploading.

3:56

And the best part, you only install the

3:58

eim once. On your next trip, just buy a

4:01

new plan and switch it back on. Some

4:03

have even found it's faster than hotel

4:05

Wi-Fi. Plus, there's ad blocking, 24/7

4:08

support, and a full refund if your phone

4:11

isn't compatible. Before your next trip,

4:28

>> Look, you're the official opposition.

4:30

Have you missed a trick here? You

4:32

haven't acted quickly enough. We've now

4:34

got Parliament being peroged on

4:36

Wednesday. The jury's out as to whether

4:38

there's going to be another PMQs, which

4:40

means that the prime minister will avoid

4:42

scrutiny. Shouldn't you have tabled a

4:44

motion of confidence last week? There's

4:47

no way either of you forcing him to

4:48

appear before the privileges committee.

4:50

So, you haven't been robust enough in

4:52

your opposition, have you, Mr. Phil?

4:56

>> Well, hang on a sec. It was the

4:57

Conservatives uh in the first place that

4:59

put down the motion that forced the

5:01

disclosure of all of the Mandlesson

5:03

documents. That was a conservative

5:05

motion in Parliament. If Kristama does

5:08

try and weasle his way out of Prime

5:10

Minister's questions in three days time

5:12

on Wednesday, that would be an act of

5:14

abject cowardice by Kama. Uh and I think

5:18

the public will judge him accordingly if

5:20

he's too frightened to turn up to PMQs

5:23

on Wednesday. I think there should be a

5:25

privileges committee inquiry into

5:27

whether he misled parliament because he

5:29

said due process had been followed. That

5:31

was not true because the cabinet

5:33

secretary Simon Casease told him to get

5:35

Mandlesson vetted in advance of the

5:37

appointment and Starmmer didn't do that.

5:40

Star also said in parliament last week I

5:42

think at PMQs in answer to Kem Badnock.

5:44

He said that no pressure was put on the

5:46

foreign office about the Mandlesson

5:48

vetting but the evidence given by Ollie

5:50

Robbins directly contradicted that. In

5:51

fact, Ollie Robbins said there was daily

5:53

pressure being put by number 10 on the

5:56

foreign office. So there's two examples

5:57

of where Karma misled parliament. This

5:59

is the man by the way. Let's not forget

6:01

who cloaked himself in a mantle of

6:04

superilious moral superiority and now it

6:07

turns out he's the man that appointed

6:08

Peter Mandlesson and has been it seems

6:10

to me misleading parliament. That's why

6:12

I think uh Starmmer should resign and if

6:14

he won't resign voluntarily and as you

6:16

say probably won't then Labour MPs and

6:18

ministers should kick him out.

6:21

>> Well, Labour in opposition have managed

6:22

to force out three prime ministers.

6:24

You've not managed one even despite all

6:27

of the problems with Kama that you've

6:29

just cited. I mean, we could add to that

6:31

16 U-turns. We could add to that the

6:34

appointment of Lord Hurmer as attorney

6:35

general. Now, it's been revealed even

6:37

though he denies some of the claims

6:39

about his involvement with the Al Swedi

6:41

accusers. I mean, the list goes on. You

6:44

haven't done an effective enough job as

6:46

opposition because the prime minister is

6:49

still in post.

6:52

>> Camila, that is total nonsense. Those 16

6:55

U-turns were forced by the Conservative

6:58

opposition. Things like uh the winter

7:00

fuel U-turn, the family farm tax U-turn.

7:03

The fact the Chaos Islands have not been

7:05

handed over to Maitius is because

7:07

Conservatives in the House of Lords

7:09

managed working with others managed to

7:11

delay the passage of the bill. And in

7:13

the meantime, Donald Trump thankfully

7:14

has changed his mind. Those U-turns are

7:16

thanks to the Conservative opposition

7:18

despite the fact there are only 120 of

7:21

us in parliament. and K star had a

7:23

landslide win. His majority is 160 or
