James Clverly has weighed in on the debate over whether multiculturalism has succeeded or failed in the UK.Speaking to Gloria de Piero he said: "My worry about the idea of multiculturalism is that we have multiple cultures. And I don't buy that because my view is, is the British culture is by definition multifaceted."There's always been multiple elements to it. And if we recognize that, we can actually say, you can be British and proudly British and you should be proudly British, and your religion is not necessarily defining factor. "Your ethnic heritage is not necessarily a defining factor. And the reason I think it's so important is because then it allows us to say we have pretty wide parameters. We're a pretty open and liberal society. But there are rules. Abide by the rules. And you know what? Be who you want to be. Don't abide by the rules. We have a problem." Hosted on Acast.

The Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, says the former Chief Whip Simon Hart has broken “an unwritten code” by releasing a book about his time in Government.Stuart Andrew, who previously served as an Opposition Chief Whip, said he’d take secrets he’d been told by colleagues to his grave.In an interview with Gloria De Piero, Mr Andrew, the Tory MP for Daventry, was pressed as to what he thought about Hart’s decision to publish the bombshell new memoir Ungovernable.Speaking exclusively to GB News, he said: “I have to say I take the personal view that when people come to see me I keep it absolutely confidential. I said when I was a whip, whether it be a whip or deputy chief whip or chief whip to that when colleagues sat and talked and told me stuff, it's between me and them. And that's how I will keep it. “Look, I love Simon to bits, but there is a sort of unwritten code, not just within the Conservative Whips office - but all whips office. MPs, you know, they face a really challenging career. And I know that's not a popular thing to say, but, the pressures on them and their families are enormous. And there are times when things go wrong.“I will take all of those conversations I had with colleagues, on a whole variety of issues, to my grave with me.” Hosted on Acast.
