well, this is the mirror trying to save space. oh, i see, to get their picture. >> yeah. we want election. um, and, uh. yeah, it's, uh , i mean, and, uh. yeah, it's, uh, i mean, i don't know, should he just get it over and done with? >> is it going to make it worse now? >> is going now? >>is going turn it now? >> is going turn it around ? >> well, this 7 >> well, this is ? >> well, this is the 7 >> well, this is the mirror. let's be fair. it's poll for let's be fair. it's a poll for the the mirror. you the mirror. by the mirror. you know, much all know, it's very much it's all very basically very mirror vibes. basically we want you want sunak out. what do you think, though, francis? does he have any left ? no have any any chance left? no matter he holds it? i this matter when he holds it? i this is think about is what i think about the general . i don't think general election. i don't think he's a chance. i think he's got a chance. i think labour will i don't labour will win, but i don't think is going in think that it is going to be in the majority. of the huge majority. a lot of people anticipating people people are anticipating people think actually everyone is think that actually everyone is going to flock from conservative to labour, whilst ignoring the fact that the collapse of the red wall happen for a very real reason, which is complete dissatisfaction with the labour party and thinking that labour party and thinking that labour party despise working class people, of course we know people, which of course we know they do. they all do. >> true, but i do think >> that is true, but i do think it's going to be a big gap because because more half because because more than half of voted of the people who voted conservative in 2019 are now

going vote labour. so or so going to vote labour. so or so it's, um, a certain percentage will vote reform. >> yes. and a certain percentage will stay home, won't they? yeah so there is that. >> and there's also just talking about how majority the about how the majority of the country think that the this country just think that the this the unfortunately life is worse now under tories. and it does seem that way although it's not going to be it's going to be going to be any it's going to be still much worse. >> i maintain under labour. we'll get into that later. but it's even worse. it's going to be even worse. i think sunak has gone with dominic just done dominic cummings and just done anything as curve anything he could as a curve ball. had those ball. you know, he had those meetings not meetings with cummings. why not do done do something? he hasn't done enough he's like, he enough as he he's like, he doesn't realise already doesn't realise he's already in injury he's like injury time and he's still like knocking the ball around the midfield. use midfield. just to, to use analogy, francis will understand. exactly understand. yeah, exactly. i mean, honest with you , um, mean, to be honest with you, um, the hand . that he was dealt with the hand. that he was dealt with was particularly brutal, particularly post pandemic . was particularly brutal, particularly post pandemic. is there anything that he could part of that though. yeah, he was part of it. there was part of it. is there anything actually could anything that he actually could have in order to facilitate have done in order to facilitate a conservative victory ? i don't a conservative victory? i don't think there is. i think their

time has come. he would have been a decent manager of a perfect country. there's always it's always cyclical. >> like the >> anyway, it was like the labour in for 13 years and labour was in for 13 years and then but a big then tories. but there's a big there something quite there is something quite interesting about interesting here talking about what consider most what people consider the most important majority important issues. the majority think it's, cost of living think it's, uh, cost of living crisis that a lot crisis and nhs. that makes a lot of sense. only 15% think immigration is the big issue in the mirror, whereas in the country i've heard that immigration has gone to number one from number three. >> so i think in country, >> so i think in the country, your no , no, we've got to your poll no, no, we've got to take everybody's matt take everybody's poll. matt goodwin that it goodwin did a poll that had it at i at number three. but then i heard had gone even heard that it had gone even higher gone to 1 or higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. i'd be very surprised if it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's be very surprised if it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's notlery surprised if it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's not higher.prised if it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's not higher. noted if it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's not higher. not inif it's higher and it had gone to 1 or 2. it's not higher. not in thes if it's not higher. not in the mirror, that's the mirror. >> this isn't in the mirror. it's they did. okay. it's a poll that they did. okay. >> right, all right, well, >> all right, all right, well, let's move on. that's enough propaganda do the propaganda for me. let's do the telegraph. yeah. so the telegraph. francis. yeah. so the telegraph gone with a telegraph have gone with a actually a really heartbreaking story . record numbers of excess story. record numbers of excess deaths amid nhs strikes. so so junior doctors are going to walk out for six days. that is six

days without junior, without a huge swathe of junior doctors. and here's some stats that from last year , 2023, nearly 53,000 last year, 2023, nearly 53,000 more people died . in 2023 than more people died. in 2023 than normal. this is the highest figure recorded in a non pandemic year since world war two. yeah it's absolutely heartbreaking . you're looking at heartbreaking. you're looking at this the record numbers of deaths . it's awful. and when you deaths. it's awful. and when you think actually that a significant number of these come from 25 and unders. significant number of these come from 25 and unders . wow. it's so from 25 and unders. wow. it's so sad when you look at the lives that have been wasted. it's appalling. what are the main factors. because every year we have nhs crisis. famously factors. because every year we havia nhs crisis. famously factors. because every year we havia headline risis. famously factors. because every year we havia headline every'amously factors. because every year we havia headline every year, sly factors. because every year we havia headline every year, but see a headline every year, but then you've also got the strikes , then you've covid and , then you've also got covid and this 2020, but it does this excludes 2020, but it does include is still include 2021, which is still heavily impacted by covid. so is that heavily impacted by covid. so is tha so say it's cardiac and >> so let's say it's cardiac and heart issues respiratory heart related issues respiratory infections diabetes seem to infections and diabetes seem to be. yeah this is this is

be. but yeah this is this is damning because you know rishi can make one of his five pledges to bring down the waiting lists, which he hasn't. and you know, but this is even worse. more people are dying . significantly people are dying. significantly more people are dying . yeah. more people are dying. yeah. and, uh, is that lack of investment? is that partly the strikes as well? i mean , i'm strikes as well? i mean, i'm sure there are a bunch of factors and they don't all lie at his door, but it's not the sign the job. well no. sign of doing the job. well no. >> and another thing cummings wanted was mass nhs reform. what about other about about this other one about chatbots? want briefly about this other one about chatb< no, want briefly about this other one about chatb

called abu mohammed al—adna, uh, who was described in his chat bot profile as a senior leader of the islamic state. so what? so what? this chatbot does, is it basically it goes it radicalises people . now there is radicalises people. now there is a question. if you get radicalised by a chat bot, are you a moron? the answer is probably yes. people are getting radicalised to be radicalised generally tend to be morons that's morons anyway. yeah, that's true, impressive. morons anyway. yeah, that's trueother impressive. morons anyway. yeah, that's true other hand, 1pressive. morons anyway. yeah, that's trueother hand, to essive. morons anyway. yeah, that's trueother hand, to rise re. morons anyway. yeah, that's trueother hand, to rise that the other hand, to rise that high organisation. that's high and organisation. that's the be high in the first a! to be that high in an organisation. right be an organisation. right to be whatever had whatever that title. he had anything we've anything on this. josh we've got loads you have to. >> no, no just. yeah >> but no, no it's just. yeah but more this. guy but it's more like this. the guy uh, jonathan uh, hall, uh, he's he's sort of seeking out somewhat as well. but there is definitely a gap there. and obviously we've just finally after a long time of the online safety bill went through and already it seems like it's out of date. >> you know, my favourite is james another one of >> you know, my favourite is jameschat another one of >> you know, my favourite is jameschat botsrnother one of >> you know, my favourite is jameschat bots whose one of >> you know, my favourite is jameschat bots whose profile is these chat bots whose profile is honest, anti—semitic . honest, racist and anti—semitic. nice. so it just sounds like a labour mp, doesn't he ?

labour mp, doesn't he? >> shots fired. all right. >> shots fired. all right. >> what about the daily mail, josh? >> first. okay, this is a weird one. first, police probe into virtual rape . now, this story is virtual rape. now, this story is actually a couple of months old. there was a woman , a young woman there was a woman, a young woman under 16, who her was on virtual reality . uh, under 16, who her was on virtual reality. uh, in a video game and was had was physically, uh , was had was physically, uh, character was attacked by a bunch of avatars . so they're bunch of avatars. so they're saying that she's suffered from abuse, you know, like she's suffered from trauma because of it, of course, now there's a there is a i hesitate to say, a comical element to this. like, you lift the vcr set off, but at the same time, when you have and also when you but when you have real life rape going on. and there was a terrible article today about how it's just the conviction rates have just gone like halved over the last few years from already historically low to even lower. so it sort of

feels like where are the resources going to the real stuff. >> yeah, that's true . so we've >> yeah, that's true. so we've got we've got terrorist chat bots and virtual rape. frances. yeah, exactly . it's a brave new yeah, exactly. it's a brave new world, mate. welcome to 2024. yeah. um the thing that i don't understand about this. okay, i was reading the article. it's obviously awful , but what is the obviously awful, but what is the difference between someone doing this kind of having this kind of vr? uh virtual reality character and having, you know , taking and having, you know, taking part in a fight is that therefore mean that that is assault ? assault? >> well, like an online virtual . >> well, like an online virtual. well, but the point of those things is fighting, isn't it? yeah. >> so we what is the difference? it's a strange one. >> i'm just glad that i'm a geek. yeah. who doesn't go on a virtual media or anything? >> actually, a geek is someone who >> actually, a geek is someone wh(yeah, no, but like a >> yeah, no, but i'm like a traditional you know? >> yeah, no, but i'm like a tra(oh,�*|al you know? >> yeah, no, but i'm like a tra(oh,�*|al game, you know? >> yeah, no, but i'm like a tra(oh,�*|al game, old ou know? >> yeah, no, but i'm like a tra(oh,�*|al game, old geek. »w? >> oh, board game, old geek. yeah. okay, good. warhammer. all right. it part right. well, that is it for part one. up, trouble in one. but coming up, trouble in the badenoch is the red sea. kemi badenoch is on the red sea. kemi badenoch is on the . and our obligatory we

the rise. and our obligatory we hate sadiq story. you hate sadiq khan story. see you in

gb news radio. >> welcome back to headliners i'm nick dixon, still here with josh howie and frances foster and we're crushing 2024 so far.

i must say . let's get straight i must say. let's get straight into it with the ai and trouble into it with the ai and trouble in the red sea. sounds like a billy joel lyric. josh you're showing your your board games and billy joel , that is our and billy joel, that is our demographic uk intervention in red sea. >> a dangerous move, says analysts. so this is one analyst and international affairs expert has warned , uh, the houthi has warned, uh, the houthi rebels are targeting cargo that are going through. they're saying it's because of any that have any connection to israel. but actually their motto is death to the west and death to america and death to jews or whatever. mhm um, great guys, great guys , great guys who, by great guys, great guys who, by the way, being supported, if you saw the footage like in like a new york times square of like people with the houthi , uh, people with the houthi, uh, headbands and it's like. >> and you don't mean the band who in the blowfish. that's another old reference, right. >> that's insane. uh, >> uh, so that's insane. uh, these are not good guys, but the idea is the reason why this person is saying that it is, uh , person is saying that it is, uh, is risky is because it could

escalate into a sort of wider middle eastern, um , uh, war, middle eastern, um, uh, war, i guess. but the thing is, the i would argue that that, uh, the real danger is not standing up to them because they're backed by iran . thisjust to them because they're backed by iran . this just allows or by iran. this just allows or gives permission for iran to behave even worse. and frankly, you have to stand up to these bullies. and i think that when the uk voted against it, um, involving itself in syria, when he gassed his local population, i feel like that then just gave carte blanche . and then half a carte blanche. and then half a million people got killed. >> okay, i'm glad you got to take on this because i didn't didn't really understand it. do you this, you have anything on this, francis? well, what francis? well, i think what we're as we're seeing really is as america of america we're seeing really is as arslowly of america we're seeing really is as arslowly receding of america we're seeing really is as arslowly receding , of america we're seeing really is as arslowly receding , whatf america we're seeing really is as arslowly receding , what we'rerica is slowly receding, what we're seeing is these types of groups become emboldened and suddenly feel that they can actually be, you know, challenge america's hegemony and start local wars. and we're seeing it happen all over the globe . so what you're over the globe. so what you're essentially saying is it's joe

biden's fault. yes, exactly. yeah. but good thing is, is that he won't remember mistakes . he won't remember his mistakes. that's i'll just, that's a great point. i'll just, uh , go around the white house uh, go around the white house naked, attacking dogs in the night. believe the alex night. if you believe the alex jones and tucker carlson interview, but interview, which some don't, but that that's right. let's that is. that's all right. let's move on then. i've got to give balance. let's do the balance. josh, um, let's do the ai balance. josh, um, let's do the a! then. and a private security firm of ex—marines is being brought to tackle illegal brought in to tackle illegal immigration. basically, jack reacher is going to stop the boats. well this is boats. frances. well this is a very interesting story. and it's. so the home office have hired this private military firm . and these are these are these private military firms are run and staffed by former soldiers, former intelligence officers, very , very high level. they tend very, very high level. they tend to work in things like the israel—hamas war or the russia's invasion of ukraine. but our situation when it comes to illegal immigration is so dire that essentially we are going to get the sas in to try and stop the illegal boats . is it a bad the illegal boats. is it a bad idea, though? i mean, the care for calais are calling it shirking responsibility, but isn't it sort of pragmatic ?

isn't it just sort of pragmatic? no, i mean, i don't trust anything public. i only trust private. you it done private. you you want it done properly? go private. private. you you want it done pro yeah. go private. private. you you want it done pro yeah. go priv.it's nothing to >> yeah. no, no, it's nothing to do , accountability. do with, um, uh, accountability. like the care for calais thing. you're saying. it's about about, uh, capability and it's damning in terms of the fact that our government has a higher in an external organisation to do what our security services and our police force should be doing. that's what's damning . and the that's what's damning. and the idea that we need to seek outside help and pay other people, you know, they're giving the reasons they this company doesn't have anything do with doesn't have anything to do with israel—hamas m15 israel—hamas war. but the an m15 , uh, mi6 intelligence official basically said, oh, we're really busy at the moment because we've got we've got the israel—hamas and we've got the israel—hamas and we've got ukraine and the small boats and you know, we're beyond and we, you know, we're beyond capacity. if we capacity. it's like, wow, if we can't with those three can't cope with those three issues ourselves and deal issues by ourselves and deal with this, and also like , to with this, and also like, to what level are they going to actually ? and also actually contribute? and also this makes a big deal this article makes a big deal about or they the company about how or they the company makes how it uses ai makes a big deal, how it uses ai in efforts like that's like

in its efforts like that's like going to solve stop the boats. ai is going to stop the boats. basically >> it's ridiculous. probably agrees that it is sort of embarrassing, but i also think anything just the boats, anything to just stop the boats, right? it works, why right? i mean, if it works, why not? yeah. oh, look, i mean, i'm in with in absolute agreement with you, but point is but i think josh's point is actually valid. i never thought i'd say words and would. i'd say those words and would. it it disappoints me so. and it is. it disappoints me so. and would it actually says is that our institutions are no longer fit for purpose. but don't don't anarchists believe this? you've had michael malice on your podcast . he basically the podcast. he basically says the police flawed police force are flawed inherently. all be inherently. it should all be sort is there sort of private. is there anything wrong with it, or is it everything being private everything just being private security wouldn't be security and it wouldn't it be more efficient? very more efficient? i'm very, very uncomfortable having uncomfortable at having a private police force and also intelligence service. >> yeah. you want to play >> yeah. you don't want to play the intelligence. >> no, no, it weird. okay, >> no, no, it is weird. okay, let's and do the mail. let's move on and do the mail. and is choking . it's all and josh is choking. it's all right. ramifications that right. ramifications of that story . he's overcome with right. ramifications of that story . h and»vercome with right. ramifications of that story . h and the :ome with right. ramifications of that story . h and the fact with right. ramifications of that story . h and the fact he's! right. ramifications of that story . h and the fact he's doing emotion and the fact he's doing a me. it's all right, a show with me. it's all right, mate. got small 750,000 mate. you've got a small 750,000 subscribers youtube.it's subscribers on youtube. it's a smaller board game piece stuck

in historic. let's do the mail. if josh is ready and is semi bad. not the future of your favourite party. josh, which is the tories, is the joke. they're high level business secretary kemi is a tops the kemi badenoch is a tops the conservative poll to become the next party leader after rishi sunak. >> now this is a daily mail poll. so you can't believe it can you. hey hey. yeah. uh, but yes, she is a whopping 38% of the vote. this is them , uh, the the vote. this is them, uh, the mail, uh, doing the conservative members , uh, and she's at 38. members, uh, and she's at 38. the next number two is on 23. uh, penny morden. so i think that they , the mps, the tory mps that they, the mps, the tory mps made a big mistake not allowing, uh, kemi badenoch to go to the, uh, kemi badenoch to go to the, uh, to the to the members vote last year. uh, she because she could well have won and the tories were worried about the tories were worried about the tories and the tories would be in a better position arguably today because . because to my today because. because to my mind , um, she is one of the best

mind, um, she is one of the best politicians in the country in terms of being forthright. right. clear in her communication. the only thing i'd say about her, um, as a negative, apart from being, uh, conservative, is that i don't know much else about her on the on the trans issue. she's been, uh, very aligned with you. >> forthright. >> forthright. >> yeah. and uh, because i don't see the trans issue as a left right issue, but in terms of what her economic policies are, how she would turn around the country whatnot, country and whatnot, i don't know what she know anything else. what she stands for. >> well, she tends to be the choice the right the choice of the right of the party. even one party. but now even the one nafion party. but now even the one nation side are saying that she has because she was nation side are saying that she has been because she was nation side are saying that she has been in because she was nation side are saying that she has been in reasonable; she was nation side are saying that she has been in reasonable on|e was nation side are saying that she has been in reasonable on thisas she's been in reasonable on this bonfire of eu laws they bonfire of eu laws where they wanted scrap all the eu wanted to just scrap all the eu laws. she like, no, laws. she was like, no, no, let's slowly. be let's do it slowly. let's be sensible. so she's pragmatic, but herself sensible. so she's pragmatic, but child herself sensible. so she's pragmatic, but child of herself sensible. so she's pragmatic, but child of roger herself sensible. so she's pragmatic, but child of roger scrutonzlf sensible. so she's pragmatic, but child of roger scruton and the child of roger scruton and thomas she's thomas sowell. so she's ideologically conservative. what do frances ? do you do you think frances? do you like i think what like kemi? uh, i think what i think this shows with kemi is that the culture that the power of the culture war, because kemi has come to prominence, because of the culture war, because she is

unashamed and unabashed at deaung unashamed and unabashed at dealing with it. and actually speaking common sense . when you speaking common sense. when you look at our political class, even somebody like keir starmer, about six months ago was didn't know what a woman was. so when you have someone like that , it you have someone like that, it it just shows actually that if people are going to come out and say things that we all knew to be true, two years ago, that means that you can actually stand a very real chance of winning a general election. >> it cuts through and the other thing she's been good at is fighting and i know you love using the word blob. what's over? the over? but fighting the intransigent ideology within her own department. and she's shown that exists and she has that it exists and she has actually taken to deal actually taken steps to deal with it. >> i just wonder she's >> i just wonder if she's radical enough in terms of what the tories need, it's the tories need, because it's funny 18. funny that 16 people or 18. sorry back nigel farage he's not even there . he's not even even there. he's not even eligible in this poll. even there. he's not even eligible in this poll . so people eligible in this poll. so people still uh farage. even still want, uh farage. even though he's not even part of the tories. you tories. so i think maybe, you know, that's where it's going to 90,

know, that's where it's going to go, it enough to have go, because is it enough to have a she's great. i like very a she's great. i like kemi very smart. given smart. but is it enough given what a state the tories are in, or is she a more of a sort of semicontinuity candidate? look, i invariably i think the problems invariably are can replace a leader are not you can replace a leader and that will do something. but at the moment i think we can all agree that the conservative party are not fit for purpose and we need to clean out a whole swathe people within that swathe of people within that party if we're going to have any chance actually being chance of them actually being conservative. and i'd just like to say pmqs with her kemi against keir starmer , you know, against keir starmer, you know, he'd have to up his game because he'd have to up his game because he doesn't have that direct communication that she has and she has the advantage of not being a straight white man. so she's the truth she's allowed to tell the truth about . well, you know what? >> shame you said that because we could have just got through the whole thing because you were talking the whole thing because you were talki|know it is relevant, >> i know it is relevant, though, she's going though, because she's going up against starmer. what you just said. it said. and it would. i thought it was quite nice we didn't was quite nice that we didn't mention i think was quite nice that we didn't me|quite i think was quite nice that we didn't me|quite i i think was quite nice that we didn't me|quite i did i think was quite nice that we didn't me|quite i did mention nk it's quite nice. i did mention it's quite nice. i did mention it don't colour so . it and i don't see colour so. no, is true that no, no, because it is true that it you know, you can't get

it is you know, you can't get away with saying anything as a straight whereas straight white man, whereas other the identity other people in the identity politics hierarchy have more leeway. everyone knows that. but let's guardian with the let's do the guardian with the obligatory michelle mone story. frances. mean , uh, frances. well, yes. i mean, uh, michelle says michelle mone's husband says couple are being out to dry couple are being hung out to dry by ministers. the disgraced covid conservative peer michelle mone and her husband are being investigated by the uk's national agency , kc. uh, national crime agency, kc. uh, they're being sued by the uk government for 122 million for breach of contract act and unjust enrichment. breach of contract act and unjust enrichment . and so the unjust enrichment. and so the interesting thing is, though , interesting thing is, though, they are saying, hang on a second. the only reason that we are getting sued by the government is so the government and therefore deflecting attention away from their own disastrous handling of the pandemic , we are being made pandemic, we are being made scapegoats . it's not our fault. scapegoats. it's not our fault. honestly uh, despite the fact that the her husband received a more than £60 million in profits, uh, there have been instances where michelle mone has actually said statement and

then had to retract them . it's then had to retract them. it's not looking good. well it's two wrongs don't make a right. >> the government was terrible. it seems like. yeah, 9 billion. they've written off of , uh, ppe. they've written off of, uh, ppe. out of the billion. that was out of the 13 billion. that was the massive overspend there. so he's right that the government was terrible in its procurement procedures . but also they have procedures. but also they have made a lot of money. and she personally has made millions, 30 million or something like that. they made 60 million profit or the cut, you know, it's like and he's trying to oh yeah . and he's trying to say, oh yeah. and it's with everybody else it's in line with everybody else made like millions of profits. well, they shouldn't have. you know, doesn't mean you know, that doesn't mean what you you're by you're a good guy here. and by the a very funny the way, there is a very funny bit defending and the way, there is a very funny bit say, defending and the way, there is a very funny bit say, no, defending and the way, there is a very funny bit say, no, it'sdefending and the way, there is a very funny bit say, no, it's of ending and the way, there is a very funny bit say, no, it's of course and the way, there is a very funny bit say, no, it's of course theyand he say, no, it's of course they would come to her because you know, she's had know, michelle, she's had 25 years in sourcing and years experience in sourcing and manufacturing and mass produced goods firsthand the goods and knew firsthand the logistical knickers, knickers . logistical knickers, knickers. mate like to try and right there, you know, don't mention there, you know, don't mention the actual product there. yeah. >> good point. all right. the actual product there. yeah. >> good point. all right . well, >> good point. all right. well, just before the break, let's have express. and

left wing anarchists and single issue ideologies in prevent may have been politically motivated . have been politically motivated. so all of these groups have been now lumped in. and what a lot of people are saying is, is this actually fair? because do they pose as much threat as other particular organisations ? and particular organisations? and it's interesting that they say that. but but when you look at the disruption that some of these groups cause , for these groups cause, for instance, if you think of just stop oil or just stop, just stop oil or you know, x or all of this is this actually fair and rational? i'm not so sure. yeah, i was sort of joking, but i was sort of serious because things like lockdown protests are very important. don't want some important. you don't want some authoritarian government. at the same do same time, you have to do something these just stop something about these just stop oil nutters disrupt. oil nutters who disrupt. >> the stop oil nutters who disrupt. >> people the stop oil nutters who disrupt. >> people . the stop oil nutters who disrupt. >> people . there's stop oil nutters who disrupt. >> people . there's a stop oil nutters who disrupt. >> people . there's a bunch of oil people. there's a bunch of cranks out that guy cranks out there that the guy was to and a half was sentenced to six and a half years, january to 23, uh, years, uh, in january to 23, uh, for preparing terrorist acts , for preparing terrorist acts, uh, trying to blow up target , uh, trying to blow up target,

you know, transmitter masts. you know, there are people who sort of thing or whatever. so of the 5g thing or whatever. so those people are there, the those people are out there, the cranks there. they need cranks are out there. they need to but to be dealt with it. but the question where's real question is, where's the real threat well there's threat coming from? well there's threats and then threats from right wing and then there's and threats from right wing and then th mentions and threats from right wing and then th mentions here, and threats from right wing and then th mentions here, uh, and it mentions here, oh, uh, jihadist , uh, extremists who are jihadist, uh, extremists who are 80% of the investigations yet only make up 22% of the referrals . yes. uh, which means referrals. yes. uh, which means that another 80% of those referrals are for things like this. the right way and also whatever , but actually turn out whatever, but actually turn out to not have any substance to them. so that is interesting in and of itself . if you know how and of itself. if you know how many things are then going by the wayside because they're not being reported . being reported. >> yeah, we had this absurd situation >> yeah, we had this absurd situati0|about shakespeare and worried about shakespeare and jacob rees—mogg more than islamist violence. then jacob rees—mogg more than islamisttriedznce. then jacob rees—mogg more than islamisttried to,3. then jacob rees—mogg more than islamisttried to, i then jacob rees—mogg more than islamisttried to, i guess1en jacob rees—mogg more than islamisttried to, i guess it's a they've tried to, i guess it's a continued attempt to try and address of i address that kind of thing. i don't know it's going to don't know if it's going to work, know, look, violence work, you know, look, violence of any towards any element work, you know, look, violence of any society. nards any element of our society. >> it needs to be. >> of course, it needs to be. they to be investigated they need to be investigated wherever comes from, you wherever it comes from, you know, you just have be

know, but you just have to be real like, where the real about like, where the majority the stuff is coming majority of the stuff is coming from. majority of the stuff is coming frorsounds racist to me. >> sounds pretty racist to me. josh. said, josh. yes, well, you said, what's threat? what's the real threat? and the answer yeah answer is, of course, 5g. yeah let's telegraph and let's do the telegraph now. and a labour dystopia a glimpse of the labour dystopia that to vote in. that you're about to vote in. >> josh, labour council will check lgbt credentials check companies lgbt credentials before hiring. now in all seriousness, i'm glad that stories like this are being covered and i'm glad that we're exploring keir exploring stuff because keir starmer grips on starmer needs to get to grips on this ridiculous element within his party before he comes into power, before they waste a hell of a lot of money on spending . of a lot of money on spending. now this is just one council, camden council, now this is just one council, camden council , particularly camden council, particularly woke council, and they're basically for their basically saying for their procurement because procurement process because they're in a position of power, they're in a position of power, they want to promote greater inclusion. well what that inclusion. well what does that mean? lgbt what does that mean? lgbt inclusion values? it means these companies that you know, are sanitation department or company has to like, have to prove that it's lgbt inclusive. well, it's like no , just prove well, it's like no, just prove you're not bigots. prove you're not homophobic. fine. but to

prove that you're inclusive and you're then what? hiring people that maybe disagree with you. >> listen, i am not going to hire an electrician unless i know that he's had sex with a man . it's not going to do it. man. it's not going to do it. it's not going to do it, mate. don't darken my threshold , dc don't darken my threshold, dc yeah, don't do it. is yeah, exactly. don't do it. is that a euphemism? when you say don't darken my threshold? um, yeah.i don't darken my threshold? um, yeah. i mean, they're partnering with things with stonewall and having things like awareness like trans awareness sessions and day. it's and bi visibility day. it's a waste of by people invisible money. >> yes they are tax payers money. no. and this needs to be we need to get to grips on this. and if starmer came out and somehow kind somehow dealt with this kind of stuff to council stuff and went to that council and you what this is and went, you know what this is and went, you know what this is a waste of money. should be a waste of money. you should be working value for for working on getting value for for money the taxpayers. that would he votes. >> maybe if the man who came to fix dishwasher was gay, you fix your dishwasher was gay, you wouldn't problems . wouldn't have these problems. there were these disgusting views. >> john cleese my own dishwasher. >> yes. now there's a euphemism. yeah, point. mean, yeah, it's a good point. i mean, look, very on look, he's done very well on anti—semitism, worry anti—semitism, but i do worry about starmer. is pabloite, about starmer. he is a pabloite,

which is a subset of trotskyism. he radical he does have quite a radical left background. left wing background. people don't know about. question don't know about. i question whether actually don't know about. i question whethto actually don't know about. i question whethto woke,:tually don't know about. i question whethto woke, butlly don't know about. i question whethto woke, but this going to be full woke, but this isn't going to be full woke, but this isn'this is the party. >> this is the party. >> this is the party. >> this is the party. but >> this is the party. but you're saying needs grip saying he needs to get a grip of it. elements party does it. elements of the party does he will to get grip he have the will to get a grip of it, or is he secretly a bit woke secretly did woke or not that secretly he did kneel matter? kneel for black lives matter? uh, look, you have to give uh, look, you you have to give starmer the that starmer credit for the way that he the anti—semitism he dealt with the anti—semitism in party. in the labour party. he was absolutely position on israel. yeah. and yeah, he was absolutely ruthless the way absolutely ruthless with the way he did it. he transformed laboun he did it. he transformed labour. and maybe we're not giving him the credit he deserves. well, i'm worried that's what i'm saying. let's do the i i heard about the the i and when i heard about the police steroids thought police on steroids, i thought it was special extra was referring to a special extra tough version of the police. but sadly, just what you sadly, no, it's just what you what tin, what it says on the tin, francis. yeah, there've francis. well, yeah, there've been least internal been at least 12 internal investigations 2018 where investigations since 2018 where officers were found to be taking steroids. so with half of them coming to light past coming to light in the past couple of years. and what's actually happened in this, in this there's a lot of this case is there's a lot of police officers. they want to look big. they and they're also

welcome back to headliners. let's crack on with the times. and gb news is once again crushing the bbc into oblivion. hey, we don't write the stories, we just stick to the facts. francis the gb news is francis well, the gb news is actually doing incredibly well. actually, it is. it is , it is actually, it is. it is, it is because there is there is this narrative, you know, that the channelis narrative, you know, that the channel is failing, but but more than half of conservative members say they regularly watch the right leaning network, far outstripping itn and sky news as

a source of news for the tory grassroots and what gb news have done so well is that they have spotted a gap in the market. they realised that there were subjects that the mainstream media were afraid to touch , or media were afraid to touch, or if they did touch upon them, they weren't going to do it honestly. things like illegal immigration, you even immigration, whereby if you even mentioned somehow, that meant mentioned it somehow, that meant that far right. gb news that you were far right. gb news has actually spoken about it and discussed the topic in depth , discussed the topic in depth, and there's a real demand for it. so i personally think that this is a very good thing. you know , there were people from all know, there were people from all over the political spectrum who come on, some of them i agree with, some of them i don't. the more the merrier. it's brilliant for our ecosystem, our delicate ecosystem as a broadcaster . ecosystem as a broadcaster. comedy. yeah. that's it. yeah. well who'd have thought telling the truth and representing people pay mean, people would pay off? i mean, but let's clear. it is, people would pay off? i mean, bucourse, clear. it is, people would pay off? i mean, bucourse, amongstear. it is, people would pay off? i mean, bucourse, amongst conservative of course, amongst conservative members. you it's members. so it's, you know, it's limited, but and they call it a right leaning network, i object limited, but and they call it a rigbecauseig network, i object limited, but and they call it a rigbecause we're work, i object limited, but and they call it a rigbecause we're work, i objby to because we're regulated by ofcom. have to be pretty ofcom. so we have to be pretty neutral. on.

ofcom. so we have to be pretty nelyeah. on. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nelyeah. but on. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nelyeah. but that's the problem. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nethe ah. but that's the problem. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nethe narrativeiat's the problem. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nethe narrative is�*s the problem. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nethe narrative is ifthe problem. ofcom. so we have to be pretty nethe narrative is if you 3roblem. is the narrative is if you put on right leaning people then that there's right . that means that there's a right. and they also say later that and they also say later on that it's like, uh farage. it's all about like, uh farage. no farage. the show is very successful show, but it's not the only part the channel we the only part of the channel we have show that's have our breakfast show that's very not very successful. that's not right leaning all. we have right leaning at all. we have headliners. balanced . headliners. this is balanced. right, whatever. headliners. this is balanced. rig doyle's whatever. headliners. this is balanced. rig doyle's wlefty er. headliners. this is balanced. rig doyle's wlefty andrew doyle >> doyle's a lefty andrew doyle free nation free speech nation >> uh, so this idea that the channelis >> uh, so this idea that the channel is right wing. what i would be interested to see is, is how many labour supporters watch the channel. now, it's obviously going to be less the conservative, that's because conservative, but that's because i think there was there's a rebalance of conservative rebalance here of conservative voters, not feeling that they were listened to or have been listened to traditionally and so maybe the things have gone too far . i maybe the things have gone too far. i don't maybe the things have gone too far . i don't know, too many far. i don't know, too many laboun far. i don't know, too many labour, whatever . but the point labour, whatever. but the point is, we're doing something right. people are watching us. and this is and we're having an impact on people people, on people, you know, on people, on people, you know, on people, on people . on the larger opinions people. on the larger opinions here. and there are lots of

things that we talk about as you're saying, trans, uh, immigration, uh, the covid response, are response, whatever. these are not left right issues. these are issues that are outside of that traditional linear politics. >> all right. great speech. you've got the job. yeah. let's do this one in the telegraph. and russia is building stalin centres. this is the best idea i've heard since hitler soft play. >> josh the hitler. yeah. russia builds stalin centres to restore reputation of the dictator . this reputation of the dictator. this dictator who's responsible for 6 million deaths. um, and mass mass murderer. million deaths. um, and mass mass murderer . and putin's a big mass murderer. and putin's a big fan and basically he's using it to re reinvent star wars and whitewash him or whatever you want to boost his popularity? >> weirdly. yeah to boost his popularity the of popularity and the war of ukraine and, you know, look, stalin and russia are like, he's had an allergic reaction to star covid because this happens every time we mention stalin. yeah, every time he mentions stalin, he hitler. it's going he submerged hitler. it's going to drinking. yeah we've hit. to be drinking. yeah we've hit. >> listen to me. look, if i

drink, say the hitler, drink, say the words hitler, i bet fine . bet you'll be fine. >> i bet you'll be fine. i bet you'll fine you say the you'll be fine if you say the word. word. hitler. word. say the word. hitler. >> you're ventriloquist. >> you're my ventriloquist. >> you're my ventriloquist. >> shows it's , uh, >> so what? this shows it's, uh, putin trying to galvanise the russian public because it has been a long, bloody and brutal war. particular when you when putin himself thought it was going to be very, very easy. the ukraine war was going to be over in a matter of months. it hasn't turned out way. and he turned out that way. and he needs to do something thing in order the russian order to galvanise the russian people and say, and create a narrative that just like starling, they are fighting the nazis . bring starling, they are fighting the nazis. bring back the old favourites like rod stewart, popping up favourites like rod stewart, popping up to sing a song at new year something. exactly. year or something. yeah exactly. you to sing you know, you want him to sing hot legs, whatever, he said. >> one tiny little point is that there there's a lot of plaques >> one tiny little point is that therehavee's a lot of plaques >> one tiny little point is that therehavee's a taken plaques >> one tiny little point is that therehavee's a taken plaquthat that have been taken away that sort the people sort of commemorate the people murdered by stalin. and these are sort of mysteriously disappearing . disappearing across russia. >> no one likes fake news. josh stalin , you a thing or two about

stalin, you a thing or two about mysterious disappearances as well? good link there, nick. thank the thank you. yeah. let's do the guardian green day. guardian and the band green day. take brave and controversial take a brave and controversial stand industry by stand in the music industry by saying donald saying they don't like donald trump. francis , it is trump. so punk, francis, it is so there was talks so punk now. there was talks about getting rid of this article, and i actually think this is one of the most important articles in the actual in the actual set. and i'll explain why , because as we're explain why, because as we're neanng explain why, because as we're nearing to another election in the united states, i think donald trump will run. they're doing everything possible in order to discredit him, in order to stop him from running, which i believe is anti—democratic . i believe is anti—democratic. but what you are going to see as a result of trump running is the culture war being inflamed again. and what is going to happenis again. and what is going to happen is people are going to start commenting. it's going to it's people are going to start commenting about politics in my opinion, in a cynical way, which which is what green day are doing in order to create a notoriety about about their band and about their latest release. and they're going to release a new album described as an

invitation to green day's brain later this month. so for me, this is a very , very cynical way this is a very, very cynical way of trying to garner attention. yeah. and just to be clear, they changed lyrics from american idiot of the idiot to i'm not part of the maga it's very much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem it's very much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem had it's very much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem had a it's very much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem had a go; very much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem had a go atzry much idiot to i'm not part of the maceminem had a go at trump.h like eminem had a go at trump. it's that used be it's like a band that used to be kind and instead of kind of edgy. and now instead of like edgy, john like remaining edgy, like john lydon from the sex pistols has remained backing remained edgy by backing brexit and more and backing trump, which is more interesting. and backing trump, which is more interewith]. and backing trump, which is more interewith your old lefty things stick with your old lefty things and it's it's not and you know, it's not it's not edgy anymore do this. what edgy anymore to do this. what do you think it's a bit >> yeah, i just think it's a bit pathetic. of pathetic. i'm not a fan of trump, the same time, trump, but at the same time, i think it's just it's lame and it's its does its job, it's got its does its job, didn't are. this didn't it? now here we are. this was york and the new was in new york and the new year's and here we are year's eve. and now here we are talking the uk. talking about in the uk. >> done. yeah. you're >> yeah. job done. yeah. you're right. they great band right. and they are a great band though let's do though aside from that, let's do the if you thought the times. and if you thought weddings wait weddings were annoying, wait till you hear about buddy moon's. newlyweds opt till you hear about buddy mo buddy newlyweds opt till you hear about buddy mo buddy moon's newlyweds opt till you hear about buddy mo buddy moon's where'lyweds opt for buddy moon's where everyone's now real everyone's invited now the real story about destination wedding. >> so when you're going away and paying >> so when you're going away and paying them of pounds paying them thousands of pounds for whatever, it's like, people are going stick around. for whatever, it's like, people are go not stick around. for whatever, it's like, people are go not st going und. for whatever, it's like, people are go not st going to d. for whatever, it's like, people are go not st going to go for for whatever, it's like, people are yevening.st going to go for for whatever, it's like, people are yevening. you're; to go for for whatever, it's like, people are yevening. you're going» for for whatever, it's like, people are yevening. you're going» fcgo one evening. you're going to go for sri lanka or
