um, so yeah, i think a lot of people who are independent and can see that bright side, it definitely is a bright side. nanai definitely is a bright side. nana i love living on own . nana i love living on my own. >> welcome back to new year's eve. live with me andrew doyle. the sands of time are ticking away. it's nearly 2024. very exciting stuff . now it's about exciting stuff. now it's about 1030, so let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. we're going to start with the daily mail. they are leading with revealed gender change loophole on uk passports. ministers are fearing that self—identified nafion fearing that self—identified nation might happen after it emerges that official documents can be altered with just a doctor's note . and then we're doctor's note. and then we're moving on to the front of the times now. now no need for a passport and a new border plan. apparently, the electronic gates are going to use facial recognition to allow passengers into the uk . the front cover of into the uk. the front cover of the telegraph they are leading with shapps uk ready to attack

houthi rebels . and we're going houthi rebels. and we're going to move on to the ai and they are leading with police forces growing use of lie detector tests may be unlawful. very interesting. i didn't realise they used them particularly. anyway on to the daily express . anyway on to the daily express. the headline there is the doctor will see you now, but only for five minutes. apparently patients an patients who do get an appointment . they find that appointment. they find that they're mostly in and out of the gp surgery within five minutes. finally the daily star now and they are leading with we're all doing apparently they are leading with we're all doirjanuary apparently they are leading with we're all doirjanuary as apparently they are leading with we're all doirjanuary as popularitly they are leading with we're all doirjanuary as popular as it dry january not as popular as it normally is. so those are your front pages . uh, so wet. and front pages. uh, so wet. and what do you think of. well, let's have a look at the first one.the let's have a look at the first one. the daily mail . what do you one. the daily mail. what do you think of the daily mail and where's by the way, is louis schaefer gone? no >> put this here, it'll >> if i put this hat here, it'll give and as much give us less trouble and as much content. absolutely >> mail is >> okay, so daily mail is talking about how so basically , talking about how so basically, the, uh, we now know that that a doctor's note . on the passport. doctor's note. on the passport. now, this is a problem louis

schaefer where you're late, for goodness sake . come and sit goodness sake. come and sit down. be professional for goodness , louis, we've just run goodness, louis, we've just run through the front pages, so have a look. >> somebody else can speak. i don't have to be the one. don't have to be the only one. >> sorry okay, right. >> okay. sorry okay, right. let's go so so gender let's go to us. so so gender change loophole . so it is change loophole. so it is a problem because if can just problem because if you can just effectively self—identify on official documents, we're not just about say, just talking about what you say, you have a grc, not you know, not have a grc, not have a recognition have a gender recognition certificate . certificate. >> but just from a doctor's note, this is what people fear. like get out of p, isn't it? >> is that right? that's what you did. >> well, mean, just >> well, it's i mean, it's just it's given out it's something that's given out very it's something that's given out venls it. >> is it. >> is it. >> exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> cheat at p, but >> i used to cheat at p, but that's different thing. no. on that's a different thing. no. on the country run, hid the cross country run, i hid behind tree because the behind the tree because the starting the same as starting point was the same as the ending point. and then i come be out come out and pretend to be out of the well of breath at the end. well not harder, that's also why harder, no, but that's also why i unfit and still am. i was very unfit and still am. so but this is so no, but paul, this is interesting because so many people, a lot of feminist people, uh, a lot of feminist campaigners, they're very concerned of concerned about the idea of gender asian gender self—identify asian people. declaring people. just saying declaring

that sex that they are the opposite sex without through any kind without going through any kind of kind of of procedures or any kind of medical anything like medical checks or anything like that. so this is sort of confirming isn't confirming their fears, isn't it, self id can be and it's it, that self id can be and it's also the last sort of legal barrier, it . barrier, isn't it. >> because if you think >> yeah. because if you think about is, about it, the passport etc. is, is the one thing that does define what you are. yes, it um, electronically in data written down. however, however you find it and if there is a loophole with this, then then it bypasses that entirely. and the last barrier is taken down. and anyone can be whatever they want to be. if the doctor allows them to be. if the doctor allows them to be. if the doctor allows them to be. and by the way, you can't see doctor and you've only got see a doctor and you've only got five can't five minutes and you can't explain are explain what gender you are in five so just five minutes. so he's just going to say, well, quite whatever you want, a fan of want, louis, are you a fan of gender self—identification? want, louis, are you a fan of gender self— a entification? want, louis, are you a fan of gender self— a woman ion? want, louis, are you a fan of gender self— a woman the�* want, louis, are you a fan of gender self— a woman the other week. >> e’- f am a fan of being week. >> am a fan of being told >> um, i am a fan of being told what gender someone is before i am with them . yes, i mean, i do, am with them. yes, i mean, i do, i do , i, i think it's just i do, i, i think it's just polite. i see you, i see you very much as omnisexual. >> i think, like i think you could way i could with

the danger is here that he does wrongfoot it. but i don't think it matters. i don't think what he does with his feet, i think he's all over for the tories. >> i probably all >> i think he probably is all oveh >> i think he probably is all over. he's over. but this idea of he's promising he promising tax cuts. he reiterated in christmas reiterated that in his christmas message. , eras tour i message. i mean, eras tour i mean, is paul right, that actually at this point, rishi sunak , wouldn't it be refreshing sunak, wouldn't it be refreshing if christmas message he if in his christmas message he just we've lost guys, just said, we've lost guys, so we're going to we're just we're just going to we're just going hand it, the baton going to hand it, hand the baton over know, i mean i keir >> i don't know, i mean i keir is already doing some of this isn't in it's isn't he. so in a sense it's working because what's the thing recently, billion recently, uh, 28 billion they were green were going to spend on green stuff they're now saying, oh stuff and they're now saying, oh well it. we're well we didn't mean it. we're not much. so not going to spend that much. so that that what that tells me that that what rishi is trying to do is kind of already working. although i agree, think i don't agree, i don't think i don't think he's going to make any difference. >> i agree there lot of >> i agree there is a lot of things that been going on things that have been going on that's working, but it's that's already working, but it's just be i just not going to be enough, i think. i'm not i'm not quite think. and i'm not i'm not quite sure conservatives can sure what the conservatives can do. would which do. one thing i would say which kind what is kind of counters what i said is there be huge swing. there needs to be a huge swing. there still needs to a huge

there needs to be a huge swing. there inll needs to a huge there needs to be a huge swing. there in order ds to a huge there needs to be a huge swing. there in order ds to labourje swing in order to get labour a decent majority. yeah so i mean, i said quite seriously a couple of months ago that still could be parliament the lib be a hung parliament and the lib dems will play a big part. i still it. okay, well still believe it. okay, well here's my prediction. >> what worth, think >> for what it's worth, i think there's a labour there's going to be a labour victory , but not sufficient victory, but not sufficient to win they'll into win it alone. they'll go into coalition dems and coalition with the lib dems and then of a deal, then as part of a deal, they will to proportional will agree to proportional representation that will be granted. and then next time representation that will be grante> okay. >> okay. >> oh no, i think it's going to be a kind of dribble just over the line.

>> the thing see those >> the thing is, you see those christmas and i'm christmas messages and i'm sorry. i'm sure, i'm sure sorry. and i'm sure, i'm sure he's but he's a lovely human being. but keir boring. keir starmer, it was so boring. it was like he it was it was so it was like he it was like riz. like a he's got no riz. >> oh lovely. >> oh lovely. >> you see, that's how you slip in the word of the year into conversation. he got no riz. it's just that kind of sense of just you're to talking just like you're to talking someone who isn't. he's just like , you it's. i like a robot, you know, it's. i feel and i feel bad saying that because i'm sure as soon as you take away, he's take the news cameras away, he's probably normal take the news cameras away, he's probnice normal take the news cameras away, he's probnice . normal and nice. >> and the same could be said for rishi. i don't think any of us at and of us look at rishi and see any of the rears either. >> is it to with being, you >> is it to do with being, you know, a role know, being in such a role as the, the, the the, you know, the, the, the leader opposition? leader of the opposition? >> opposite in >> we've had the opposite in bofis >> we've had the opposite in boris johnson. yeah. do you remember and uh, uh , remember him? and uh, uh, people, people don't like it, i guess because he managed to combined a good character. some would say yes with sort of being very well, he was a performer. >> i think this is the point. like, we've had this very sort of presidential of of presidential style of politics, i think ever since margaret thatcher, tony blair certainly route .

certainly went down that route. and i think what's happened is we've we're used now to charismatic prime ministers. and then when you suddenly start getting like theresa may getting people like theresa may again, truss , rishi again, uh, liz truss, rishi sunak and next keir starmer, we've really bucked that trend now, haven't we? and again, all of those people i think are probably bubbly probably really fun, bubbly people , but they're just not people, but they're just not performers , you know performers, you know what i mean? fact, noticed as mean? in fact, you noticed as soon was no soon as theresa may was no longer she longer prime minister she loosened up. yeah. and she was much cornfield much more. we saw cornfield theresa may, didn't we? we did. yeah didn't she run through a field wheat, which was very field of wheat, which was very naughty of her, andrew. >> i'd like to met her >> and i'd like to have met her dunng >> and i'd like to have met her during and to >> and i'd like to have met her duria] and to >> and i'd like to have met her duria little and to >> and i'd like to have met her duria little bit and to >> and i'd like to have met her duria little bit of and to >> and i'd like to have met her duria little bit of what to >> and i'd like to have met her duria little bit of what that to see a little bit of what that might have been like. >> well, actually, running might have been like. >> wellaactually, running might have been like. >> wella cornfield unning through a cornfield is vandalism, up vandalism, and it can mess up a harvest. it mess crop, vandalism, and it can mess up a hecan;t. it mess crop, vandalism, and it can mess up a hecan ruin mess crop, vandalism, and it can mess up a hecan ruin farmer's crop, it can ruin a farmer's livelihood. know it can ruin a farmer's liveli happened know it can ruin a farmer's liveli happened to know it can ruin a farmer's liveli happened to that know he what happened to that farmer. he maybe depression , maybe went into depression, spiralled into anxiety and eventually suicide. >> and true. yeah, that's true, but i think all that labour can do. yes is mess it up. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well maybe and i've spoken to
