what to say, who don't follow the script and normally who don't agree with me. tv personality and broadcaster precious muir, former conservative and farmer neil conservative mp and farmer neil parish, and leadership coach and speaker adrian hayes. parish, and leadership coach and speaker adrian hayes . plus the speaker adrian hayes. plus the most important part of the show your emails. they come straight to my laptop market. gbnews.com i read out all your opinions good, bad and indifferent. and this show has a golden rule, especially on a saturday night. we don't do boring, not on my watch. i just won't have it. so a big two hours to come. i'll be deaung a big two hours to come. i'll be dealing with nike and an insult to a whole country at ten. but first, my big opinion. to a whole country at ten. but first, my big opinion . the first, my big opinion. the archdeacon of liverpool , who archdeacon of liverpool, who boasts the poshest name in all christendom , miranda threlfall christendom, miranda threlfall holmes, put quite the cat among the pigeons this week by tweeting the following . she tweeting the following. she wrote i went to a conference on

whiteness last autumn. it was very good, very interesting and made me realise whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender. so yes, let's have anti whiteness and let's smash the patriarchy. that's not anti white or anti—men, it's anti anti—oppression . just let that anti—oppression. just let that sink in for a moment. this is a top cleric. let's have anti white ines. oh dear. and how unfortunate that this lady of the cloth is white herself so she'll have to cancel herself. i don't know how you cancel yourself. how do you cancel yourself? it would take a miracle , wouldn't it? but then miracle, wouldn't it? but then she is a very holy lady. so i guess anything is possible. well, on the day that she put out that tweet, she was no doubt hoping she could turn water into wine. and a lot of it. when she read the responses , which were read the responses, which were not pretty. hell hath no fury .

not pretty. hell hath no fury. her tweet has now been seen by almost a million people, probably larger than the flock she gets on a sunday morning. let's be honest , with almost a let's be honest, with almost a million views. but just 209 likes in social media terms. that's what we call death by ratio . the comedy actor james ratio. the comedy actor james dreyfus from gimme gimme gimme said the following. oh grow up! what the heck is wrong with you? why do you seek to divide when yourjob description is your job description is literally yourjob description is literally to bring people together? utterly grotesque together? it's utterly grotesque . the revered comedian and co—host of the popular podcast trigonometry, constantine kissin, wrote this is actually true. whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender, in that both are linguistic tricks used to invent things that only exist in the minds of overeducated fools . and last but not least, fools. and last but not least, the brilliant tech author dan rice is, in my view, the most perceptive when he says, doesn't

sound like christianity . are you sound like christianity. are you sure you don't follow a different religion ? well, he's different religion? well, he's absolutely right, because this is a deeply un—christian statement. and i say that as a christian myself, to demonise a whole group of people. and statistically, the vast majority of her own congregation goes against everything we know about jesus christ. now, this archdeacon, who i've got no doubtis archdeacon, who i've got no doubt is a lovely person and doubtless does great work in the community and is entitled to her view . absolutely. in my view, view. absolutely. in my view, she does follow a very different religion altogether, or should i say cult . it religion altogether, or should i say cult. it is religion altogether, or should i say cult . it is the holy church say cult. it is the holy church of woke . in fact, the archdeacon of woke. in fact, the archdeacon looks to be a fully signed up member in her twitter description about herself. she's got the inevitable pronouns she her in there, therefore supporting the idea that you can change your sex and that men are women and vice versa . i've got

women and vice versa. i've got to say, i'd love to know what the man above thinks of all of that. or should i say the woman above. or maybe god is gender neutral. who knows? now i'd speculate that this archdeacon likely supports the church of england's decision to pay reparations for slavery , even reparations for slavery, even though church's links to though the church's links to this a challenged this awful crime, a challenged by some historians like the brilliant robert tombs , for brilliant robert tombs, for example. and either way, one has to wonder why leaky church roofs, education, community work , lonely pensioners and the homeless in the parish are not the exclusive recipients of the church's wealth . rather than church's wealth. rather than atoning for crimes committed over a century ago in a country responsible for ending the whole wretched endeavour in the first place, none of it really makes sense . of course not. this is sense. of course not. this is the church of woke , particularly the church of woke, particularly this bizarre tirade against whiteness. apart from the wild hypocrisy of this priest being

white herself. did this, presumably in intelligent person who has even published books no less. did she not worry that these comments and this view might be prejudicial, inflammatory, ignorant, tin eared, or even , i don't know, eared, or even, i don't know, racist in its own right? it's certainly goes against everything. martin luther king stood for the leader of the civil rights movement in america, dreamed of a colour—blind society. but all the likes of this archdeacon can see is skin colour and this supposedly christian person is happy to condemn people that have the wrong kind . and with have the wrong kind. and with archbishop welby, who i do admire for a lot of things, campaigning against the rwanda policy, which may or may not be workable but is the only serious attempt to stop the humanitarian crisis that is the illegal crossings of the channel. it's very clear that the church of england have been increasingly captured by a progressive cult. who will have you believe that our history is shameful, that

open borders are compassionate , open borders are compassionate, and that you are inherently a bad person if you have the wrong skin colour? wow with dwindling congregations and endless political rows, the church of england is on its knees for all of the wrong reasons. and is it any wonder why the kind of language used by this archdeacon is appalling, un—christian and wrong? may god forgive them . now wrong? may god forgive them. now i am a free speech absolutist, and the archdeacon is entitled to her view. no problem. don't cancel her. don't fire her. not at all. debate the issue that she's raised . but i'm horrified she's raised. but i'm horrified that she has made this remark . that she has made this remark. let me know your thoughts, your reaction market gbnews.com or get your email shortly. but get to your email shortly. but first, tonight's pundits first, tonight's top pundits in no particular order. we have tv personality and broadcaster precious muir, former

conservative mp and farmer with quite a healthy livestock neil pansh quite a healthy livestock neil parish and leadership and coach and a speaker of public wisdom, adrian hayes. folks, great to have all three of you with me. precious muir, let's have anti whiteness. >> your reaction i think, for her to be a priest, i think it's quite shocking that she's sharing these kind of views on twitter and she's going into such depth . i think that she has such depth. i think that she has to realise that she has a responsibility for, you know, for the church that she's with. obviously church of england, she's got responsibilities as that priest and saying her personal views online is probably not going to give her the reaction she thought they were. she was going to get. well, definitely. now you know me, all children of god. well aren't we i think yeah. and i think she just said the think that she just said the wrong thing. >> all brothers and >> we're all brothers and sisters the of i sisters in the eyes of god. i don't care about skin colour. martin luther dreamt of martin luther king dreamt of a colour—blind is colour—blind society. this is the just think it's

>> yeah. and i just think it's sad that she's on twitter sad that she's gone on twitter and said so many things. and obviously didn't get the obviously she didn't get the reaction expected , and obviously she didn't get the r> and she wants to correct that great that, you know, great crime that, you know, so—called white privilege. perhaps she's got a point. >> i don't think she does. and if she has a point, this is the wrong way of going about it. yeah. because you know, being anti anything you are the anti anything when you are the church , i mean we we've got to church, i mean we we've got to get more people into church of every colour and every, you know every colour and every, you know every different types every creed but different types of she's supposed to be uniting us together, bringing us all together. and all this is doing is i mean, why if, if you had, another of the archdeacon say she wants to be anti—black , how she wants to be anti—black, how would that go down? yeah, it would that go down? yeah, it would go down hugely badly. quite rightly so. and so

therefore, just because , you therefore, just because, you know, at the moment it seems to be almost fashionable , and this be almost fashionable, and this is crazy stuff because like i said, we, as you said, martin luther king was absolutely right . it would be lovely that one day that we can, as a society , day that we can, as a society, that we don't actually notice somebody's coloured skin . somebody's coloured skin. >> we judge, we judge their colour, treat people as who they are and not the skin colour. >> and i wish martin luther king's quote would be rewritten and reposted every well, and reposted every day. well, he cancelled if he was around now, wouldn't he probably judge people colour of the people not by the colour of the skin, by quality of skin, but by the quality of their character? true. their character? it's so true. it i mark, i think my it is, but i mark, i think my point this was just one point if this was just one errant i, you know, errant archbishop, i, you know, well, there's, there's, there's sort a few odd bods in all sort of a few odd bods in all societies, but it's, it's becoming quite endemic in the church look, i church of england. look, i work with religions . church of england. look, i work with religions. i'm out with all religions. i'm out there you know, the there and, you know, the buddhists talk this buddhists don't talk about this sort muslims sort of stuff. the muslims don't. don't don't. jewish people don't know. they teachings of they teach the teachings of buddha, of muhammad or whatever. why is the church of england,

you know, going around this, this racism route and this all the progressive stuff and whether you agree with it or not, the priority has to be to teach the words and the life of jesus christ or god, whether you believe it or not, and also get out to the community and engage and bring people into the church and bring people into the church and all of this is doing is just driving people away, especially, you , i mean, rightly or you know, i mean, rightly or wrongly, most of rural areas wrongly, most of the rural areas are more white than any other colour, just because that's who we who are living there. >> and all of a sudden , let's >> and all of a sudden, let's alienate all of them, shall we? and it's really what's crying out. >> and it's not just the church of england, it's the police, it's the nhs, it's the military. even this lack of leadership . even this lack of leadership. and this is why i go, sorry to the archbishop of canterbury, this what we're lacking in so this is what we're lacking in so many institutions in the many of our institutions in the west, isn't it? >> than a lack of >> more than a lack of leadership. virtue leadership. it's virtue signalling, it? signalling, isn't it? >> of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, it of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, it is of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, it is i of both. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, it is i mean,h. signalling, isn't it? >> i mean, it is i mean, ithink >> i mean, it is i mean, i think it's i think in ways it's it's i think in some ways it's a reverse. they're leading us in exactly place, in the

exactly the wrong place, in the wrong direction. >> trying think >> they're trying to i think she's basically trying get she's basically trying to get black people of black people and people of colour more. i think colour to, to be more. i think she's bring that into she's trying to bring that into the of england, she's the church of england, but she's going about it. going the wrong way about it. >> she not also trying to >> and is she not also trying to tackle racism? isn't she tackle racism? and isn't she pointing out that white people have people of colour have dominated people of colour for centuries and she wants to right that she wants to right that wrong. she wants to correct it's a great crime. >> i don't think her place >> i don't think it's her place to she's priest and to do so. she's a priest and she's remember that she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader remember that she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader of remember that she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader of aemember that she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader of a church er that she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader of a church andiat she's to do so. she's a priest and sileader of a church and thatle's a leader of a church and that comes first. her personal views are separate. that's it. and if she wants to do something positive. yeah, being anti anything is not a positive thing. her saying that she obviously wants people of colour and black people to come to the church of england and she wants to right the wrongs. that's to then right the wrongs. that's fine. she's gone fine. but the way she's gone about so is not the about doing so is not the correct way. about doing so is not the cor|butway. about doing so is not the cor|but way. see, about doing so is not the cor|butway. see, some of the >> but you see, some of the strongest churches in this country are where the black communities really engage with the church of england . and so, the church of england. and so, you know, what is she doing ? i

you know, what is she doing? i mean, it's just, well, i was raised a roman catholic and there were so many people of colour. >> there are so many people of colour, catholic or not, whether you go in our congregation and, and my church was always you go in our congregation and, a|big my church was always you go in our congregation and, a|big melting church was always you go in our congregation and, a|big melting pot.rch was always you go in our congregation and, a|big melting pot. it| was always you go in our congregation and, a|big melting pot. it is.3s always a big melting pot. it is. >> yeah. and should be where >> yeah. and it should be where everybody is a children god everybody is a children of god and that's what we should where we should start. adrian. >> last word, last word. if her tweet said anti—oppression. if you're going to be anti—oppression, should have anti—oppression, should we have anti—oppression, should we have an anti—ottoman empire? anti romans, spanish? romans, anti arabs, spanish? i mean human trafficking, the french, definitely french, the french definitely the french, definitely anti cornish. >> no, absolutely. cornish >> no, no, absolutely. cornish did i that you know representing a david starkey. let's not lose my you always had to be anti cornish viewers. yes. right. they can be very feisty can't you folks. >> okay listen this debate is going to rage and rage. but coming next the story, coming up next in the big story, how be able to how will king charles be able to deal many issues deal with the many tragic issues now family? i'll be now facing his family? i'll be asking biographer, asking his biographer, revered historian robert hardman. we're focusing on king charles

fighting his own battle against cancer . with me now is king cancer. with me now is king charles's biographer , daily mail charles's biographer, daily mail writer and the author of new king, new court. charles the third, the inside story, robert harmon hardman, welcome to you, mark dolan tonight. lovely to see you in the studio. thank you. mark. is king charles a mentally strong person? how will he be processing these news right now ? right now? >> he's very mentally strong. i mean, he's someone who has. well, he's been in public life his entire life. but, i mean, he's he's been through very grave royal crises over the years . he if anyone within the years. he if anyone within the institution is capable of taking the long view of seeing that, you know, these things are enormous headline making this huge news. it's very sad news, but he's someone who has spent a large part of his life among his many patronages, a number of cancer charities , medical

cancer charities, medical charities. you know, he's seen, the work that gets done. and so as the princess of wales, i mean , there, you know, a lot of what they do involves meeting people who are in are facing very grave personal crises from various different ways. it sort of goes with the royal territory. so i think it does give them a sort of extra perspective, if you like. but i mean, he will be taking he will be looking at the current situation . clearly, he's current situation. clearly, he's known about the situation involving the princess of wales for time. this have for some time. this won't have come as to him in the come as a shock to him in the way it's come to shock to way it's come to the shock to the rest of us in the last 24 hours, but yes, mean, be hours, but yes, i mean, he'll be he'll, he's, got all sorts he'll, he's, he's got all sorts of to worry about. and of things to worry about. and this is, of course, one very serious. >> does he compare mentalize? will his concerns about will he take his concerns about his daughter in law, and will he put that in a box in order to continue to be able to do his duties? how does the king process these sorts of emotional challenges ? challenges? >> i think above all, he will

want to make sure that she is under absolutely no pressure at all, doesn't feel any obligation to be royal, you know, in any way the priority is that she is she's a patient. she's got to get better , and that that's get better, and that that's that's all that matters. and if people say, oh , well, is she people say, oh, well, is she going to be at the trooping the colour or royal ascot or whatever? i mean, that's entirely to her. will be entirely down to her. he will be saying, i don't want any pressure on her whatsoever . pressure put on her whatsoever. >> does charles have a tender side? he able show side? is he able to show empathy? you know, how might his concern about his daughter in law manifest itself? or will he still keep that royal reserve, do you think? >> oh no. he's he's he's he's he's a very emotional man. i mean, when i was writing my book, one of his closest friends said he said can cry said of him, he said he can cry at a sunset. that one, he is, no , he's immensely proud of all that she's done since she, you know, joined the royal family he's devoted to her and to the children. i mean, he will be, he

will have been, you know, as as worried about her, as william, as everybody else, but he he is as everybody else, but he he is a very as i say, he's he's an emotional man . and there won't emotional man. and there won't be any, any sort of cold reserve there at all. >> and he has been and will continue to be very reliant on the emotional and practical support of his wife, queen camilla, who has very much risen, risen to the fore really in the last few weeks as a result of circumstances. she's become the leading sort of female royal, really, hasn't she? >> well, i think she's she's risen to the fore since, since since the king became king. i mean, she's been at his side. she's been an absolute pillar of strength all the way through, even at the coronation. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. i mean, the coronation i mean, they they were a i mean, they were they were a great of double act. great kind of double act. yeah and yeah, were, we, i was and yeah, we were, we, i was following around in the run following him around in the run up the coronation during and up to the coronation during and after. was you know, they after. and it was you know, they both, depend on each other, but she will be very much front and

centre. i mean, this week it's, there's going to be a very, i think, very telling moment on thursday. thursday is maundy thursday, when this ancient ceremony, the royal maundy ceremony, the royal maundy ceremony happens, which was one of the favourite ceremonies of the late queen. she absolutely adored it. when the when the monarch hands out arms , as used monarch hands out arms, as used to be maundy money, little sacks of special coins to deserving pensioners in a in a particular cathedral . it's in worcester cathedral. it's in worcester this year and the queen will be there. she'll be doing that on her own and that's i mean that's linking her back into a sort of royal ceremony that goes back over 800 years, and she will be front and centre of that, not the monarch. >> will the makeup and flavour of charles's court change in the light of what we've seen in the last few weeks? will it cause charles to sort of rethink the whole project ? whole project? >> no, i don't think there'll be any kind of dramatic change. i mean, monarchy, as i say, it's

actually a very versatile institution. and they we think it's very sort of hidebound and locked into sort of various protocols. but it, it just changes. it adapts. they can't suddenly bring in new, you know, reinforcements because, you know, there aren't any . so know, there aren't any. so i mean, it will fall on the other members of the family to, to, to do rather more of the, of the sort of essential engagements if you like things like sort of investitures, but the constitutional duties, i mean, the king is doing all the constitutional duties we would expect monarch. mean , expect of a monarch. i mean, don't were sort of in don't forget, we were sort of in this of territory, possibly this sort of territory, possibly more so the last years of more so in the last years of elizabeth the second. i mean, there were, you know, she she was increasingly winding down, because mobility issues . because of her mobility issues. and yet, you know, at no point was her authority in any way in question. you know, she was the monarch, and he's very much the king. he's doing his red boxes. he was meeting ambassadors this week. look at where we week. if you look at where we were at the start of his

diagnosis and where we are now, he's actually doing more, getting out more. he's no longer in one place. he's not just in sandringham. you know , he's he's sandringham. you know, he's he's moving around. he's windsor quite bit in london quite a quite a bit in london quite a bit. so i mean, we don't know the precise medical prognosis, but i think we can, we can look at his engagements and his determination to stick with the job. and he's in good spirits. some have said that he's paying the price right now for the slimmed down format for the family. >> is that fair ? >> is that fair? >> is that fair? >> well, yes. i mean, the slimmed down, frame is has been around a long time. i mean, it was, you know, in a sense, it was, you know, in a sense, it was inevitable. i mean, once the sussexes left the scene, once prince andrew left the scene, it was going to they've slimmed themselves down haven't they. it's. i you know the it's. yeah. i mean, you know the young generation are william and catherine and it's most of them are of pensionable age now. and you know, that is the situation that the monarchy has to deal with at the moment. but you look

back over, i mean, i started writing about the monarchy in the 90s and the sort of crises they were facing then were of a different order of magnitude to this one, do think charles this one, do you think charles is to be okay, he's a very is going to be okay, he's a very robust personality and physically robust , too. are you physically robust, too. are you hopeful that he'll make a good recovery and resume his duties as our monarch? >> yeah. i mean, i we all wish him the very best. i mean, he's led a very sort of abstemious life. he's he's he's healthy. he's fit , in his work and very i he's fit, in his work and very i mean , i think if anybody could mean, i think if anybody could try and make him slow down a bit, i mean, that's the challenge because, you know, he does like i mean, he likes staying up late, writing letters, reading . i mean, he's letters, reading. i mean, he's not, he's he's not a sort of an old style prince of wales, you know, like previous ones were who were sort of, you know, play hard, and weren't terribly interested in the work element . interested in the work element. he is a hard worker. he always has been, and his days as prince

of wales. and nothing's changed on that score. >> robert hardman, thank you so much. me tell my viewers and much. let me tell my viewers and listeners your new listeners about your amazing new book, about king book, and it's about king charles. book is called new charles. the book is called new king, court. charles the king, new court. charles the third the inside story by robert hardman. and robert, thank you so much for coming in. lots more to come, folks. we'll get us reaction to the awful news of the last 24 hours with kinsey schofield , the queen of us schofield, the queen of us showbiz and royal reporting after ten. but next up are men only clubs . sexist politics only clubs. sexist politics legend christine hamilton goes head to head with showbiz icon christopher biggins. live in the studio. sparks will

fly. it's saturday night. so let's talk about men only drinking clubs. the head of the civil service and the uk's m16 spy chief have both quit the exclusive private members club, the garrick club , after a

the garrick club, after a backlash for being part of a venue that excludes women. simon kc and richard moore's resignation comes two days after the famous club's secretive membership list was published in the guardian, revealing that women are not allowed. so are men only clubs. sexist and what about women only venues to is it nice to relax and hang out with people of your own gender? or is it horribly old fashioned and regressive? well, to debate this in just a moment, the fabulous christine hamilton, who is always welcome in my club, but first with me in the studio, legendary actor and presenter christopher biggins begins. what do you think about the idea of a men only venue? is that an environment you'd be happy in? >> it's not actually i mean, i adore the company of women, so i mean, it's very important to me, but i think you know, but i think there's, you know, it's outdated covid now, i it's this outdated covid now, i think and i know that certain clubs that are just for men do allow women in have dinner or allow women in to have dinner or special occasions. >> and what have you do they let them into clean as well,

perhaps. i'm sure they do . and perhaps. i'm sure they do. and to wait at table. but you know, it's a it's fascinating thing it's a it's a fascinating thing idea and i think it is now in this day and age outdated. i mean, i think it's it was a lovely idea and i was once made a member of, not the garrick, but the savile club by winston graham, who wrote the poldark novels. right. and i was out of my depth because, you know, i went in there and there were all these funny, dirty men and you have club table to sit if have a club table to sit at if you're on own. but there is you're on your own. but there is a wonderful story because a johns sir ralph richardson was a member garrick of the member of the garrick of the savile club. and when you went in there and you on the in there and you sat on the table of the table of if you're on your own, sort of with other members , you weren't allowed to members, you weren't allowed to be interrupted. is that right? and so you had a little pad by the side of your table, and you wrote on there soup of the day, 999 wrote on there soup of the day, egg and chips and apple pie and custard in one day, ralph

richardson hadn't written anything, so this waitress had to interrupt him. she said, excuse me, sir, but it's 10 to 2. what would you like for lunch? and he said, oh , oh, i'd lunch? and he said, oh, oh, i'd like a jam omelette. so she went away and she came back and she said, chef says, who's it for? and he said, tell chef it's for sir ralph richardson . and she sir ralph richardson. and she came back two minutes later and said chef says no . and he turned said chef says no. and he turned to the man he was dining with and said who do you have to be to get a jam omelette? i mean, you know, it is a wonderful story. there are wonderful stories just stories of all those club just for you know. but i for men, you know. but i mean, i think it's outdated now, and i think it's outdated now, and i think should see i very think we should see i very rarely disagree with you. >> aligned so many >> we were aligned on so many issues, i wonder whether issues, but i wonder whether sometimes to an sometimes it's nice to go to an environment in male environment where you're in male company, the company, you don't have the peacocking, don't have men peacocking, you don't have men showing other showing off to impress other women. guys can relax, they women. the guys can relax, they can loosen their tie. they can even their belly hang out a even let their belly hang out a bit. men are so vain and when women are around, they start showing off. >> so, i suppose so, >> i suppose so, i suppose so, but i just think it's a little

antiquated you know , i antiquated now, you know, i think that, you know, let's bnng think that, you know, let's bring women to , in to enjoy bring the women to, in to enjoy that, because it is it is a wonderful life. >> well, i went to a club which i thought was actually worse than men only because it allows women, but they can't sit at the main table. oh, which is main table. oh, no. which is i mean, that's gender mean, that's that's gender apartheid , isn't it? apartheid, isn't it? >> that really is. >> that really is. >> let's bring in the formidable christine hamilton. christine, what the idea what do you think about the idea of women's only clubs? there is , of women's only clubs? there is, after all, the women's institute i >>i -- >> i don't honestly, christopher, you're talking complete rubbish. women's only clubs. why not? men only? why not? women like to get together just with their own sex. so do men. i problem at all. and i think gatherings that are just one sex are they're different. there is a qualitative difference about them. and you cannot get that when you've got a multi sex gathering. so i'm all in favour. what i do object to is when a men only club says

to is when a men only club says to women, you can come and dine, but you have to come in through another entrance. i was once ianed another entrance. i was once invited by a boyfriend i am talking about over 40 years ago to the in and out club , and i to the in and out club, and i suddenly realised when i got there that i was being told to go around the corner, not to the main entrance, which was very well known on piccadilly, and i found myself sitting in the sort of little sort of well. and when he arrived down the i said, why am i what? what is this? what am i doing? and he explained it and i doing? and he explained it and i said, i'm sorry. goodbye. i don't want dinner. i never saw him again. it was the sort of place where their men would sort of usher in their lady friends at night. i thought, that's at night. and i thought, that's ridiculous. you're going ridiculous. if you're going to invite the invite women in through the front them front door and treat them properly . but no, i'm all front door and treat them properly. but no, i'm all in favour. and think when sex and favour. and i think when sex and gender are under attack, as they are at the moment, i think actually it's all the more important that real men and real women can get together with people that they know are 100%

them. i mean, what happens to a transgender man or a transgender gender woman ? where do they go? gender woman? where do they go? i don't know, but no, i want to say for them, i think they're fabulous. and for heaven's sake, us women , we need to get rid of us women, we need to get rid of our men from time to time and let's just get them somewhere to go. otherwise might have a go. otherwise they might have a mistress. sake. had mistress. for goodness sake. had you about that, you thought about that, christopher? you thought about that, chrand her? way, christina, >> and by the way, christina, i'm very glad you didn't give me the of the and out the logistics of the in and out club because a family show. club because it's a family show. but i'm glad that but i'm. i'm glad that you turned down invitation from turned down that invitation from that and chose that young ruffian and chose neil instead . and before i come neil instead. and before i come back to christopher, can i ask you can you tell me about the pleasures of being in a female only environment? what happens to women when guys are not there? what does that do to the atmosphere and the experience ? atmosphere and the experience? >> okay, i'm going to tell you that you are bonkers . what women that you are bonkers. what women do when they're on their own together is entirely up to women. and we are not going to

tell men, but it is a totally different atmosphere. i love the older i get, the more i love my girlfriends, i really do, and they are, they are supportive. i think you mentioned earlier that about the men wanted to sort of preen themselves. no preen themselves. there is no competition really. well, there is a bit course. everybody's is a bit of course. everybody's looking at each other's wrinkles. you my wrinkles. when you get to my sort of age , the sort of sort of age, the sort of intersex competition just isn't there. i think they're fabulous and i just don't see any problem . if you couldn't have all women clubs, then there would be a problem . but you can you can problem. but you can you can have clubs just for this, just for for just the other. for that, for just the other. it's utterly ridiculous that everybody shoved into everybody has to be shoved into one. viva la difference. one. oh, viva la difference. that's i say . that's what i say. >> let's not have too much shoving. not on a saturday night , what about, this issue? the idea people are comfortable idea that people are comfortable with their own group, their own sex? christopher. i mean, it's an old fashioned idea. will it survive, or do you think eventually the sort of woke nazis will eliminate and do away with these these clubs ?

with these these clubs? >> well, in a way, i hope they won't. i mean, i, by the way, christine, i like nothing better than the girly lunch . and i than the girly lunch. and i often i'm invited to a girly lunch and they're fabulous because a lot of gossip is spread around, which is good. and we all like a bit of gossip how. >> now. >> and also, have you noticed biggins, i don't want to interrupt you, but have you noficed interrupt you, but have you noticed how naughty women are when get together? noticed how naughty women are whevery get together? noticed how naughty women are whevery naughty gether? noticed how naughty women are whevery naughty and er? noticed how naughty women are whevery naughty and they have >> very naughty and they have they a drink? yes they do, they like a drink? yes they do, you and you see them going you know. and you see them going in looking all gorgeous and prim and then when they and proper, and then when they leave their, their hair's a bit dishevelled , you know, and they dishevelled, you know, and they stagger you know, but stagger a bit, you know, but i think i love the company of women. so i, i'm not sure what i think about this situation. and |, think about this situation. and i, i sort of like the idea, the old fashioned idea, but i think it's out of out of date. >> okay. last word. christine >> okay. last word. christine >> well, it's perfectly obvious that what christopher wants to do is come to the all girls events. you're very welcome , events. you're very welcome, darling, because you're a wonderful addition to any

officers were a little bit more careful for a long time , and careful for a long time, and they had to lay low, yeah . so they had to lay low, yeah. so it, took them a few months. >> well, it's unbelievable. >> well, it's unbelievable. >> 300 foot tunnel. >> 300 foot tunnel. >> well, 300 foot tunnel. your father was involved. the men involved, including your dad, had to show physical courage and ingenuity. there's your dear dad. what a very fine and handsome man he was, this was an engineering challenge to dig those tunnels secretly . those tunnels secretly. >> yes, because the germans had, in fact, installed seismograph listening devices under the ground as well. >> so the tunnel had to drop 30ft below the ground to avoid that. and the soil was very sandy and smelly, bright yellow with the top soil was was grey. so, you know, they had to remove all this sand and get rid of it basically, you know, if it had been noticed, then they would have known something was going on. >> and your dear father, squadron leader alec bristow,

an u—turn. two an embarrassing u—turn. two highly paid bbc stars snigger at the union jack flag on breakfast tv. the nhs deletes the word mother from literature about pregnancy and it deletes the word woman from literature about the menopause. and speaking of women, margaret thatcher, a political genius who emancipated the british working class, transformed the economy, placed britain on the world stage and won a war is compared to adolf hitler by one of our top museums . what a time to be alive in every school, in every university, in every government department. british values are being diminished, british history attacked and the british way of life treated with contempt. but it's not just our pubuc contempt. but it's not just our public bodies that are in the grip of so—called woke ideology, which is a britain hating cult. corporations are just as bad . corporations are just as bad. enter stage left nike, a vast

global multinational corporation who have decided to literally change the flag of england on the national football kit . the national football kit. announcing the news on twitter, nike proudly announced that they have done a playful update to the flag of saint george, adding orange, purple and god knows what else so as to make the flag completely unrecognisable . well, completely unrecognisable. well, none of the original white on there, i should add, remains because of course white is bad these days. hilariously, they say that this new look flag is there to unite and inspire. well, that cacophony of colours on the shirt only inspired me to throw up and what is the flag of the country there to do? if not to unite? that's what flags do. they bring people together irrespective of their race, class, gender, sexual orientation, you name it, and this move is a bit rich from nike, who pose as lovely ,

nike, who pose as lovely, caring, sharing progressives who just want to make the world a better place whilst producing billions of tons of plastic and polyester every year. heading straight for landfill. it's a company that produces eye—watering amounts of pollution. and then there are the questionable human rights and working conditions of those poor folk stitching together their expensive fabrics in the third world, this move to change the national symbol of england is a profound insult to this country. how dare they touch the flag ? flags are sacred. they are flag? flags are sacred. they are historic. they are universal. they are permanent. they are perennial , they are a constant. perennial, they are a constant. and here is what they look like , and here is what they look like, right? i hate to put my face out of vision for too long, but look at that. that is what the flag looks like . flags are the one looks like. flags are the one thing that bind us in these divided times. the cross of saint george goes back to the

crusades, but who cares about a thousand years of history when you can do a cheap publicity stunt ? nike say that you can do a cheap publicity stunt? nike say that this you can do a cheap publicity stunt ? nike say that this new stunt? nike say that this new flag is there to unite, but the pubuc flag is there to unite, but the public don't seem very united on it. the response on social media has been one of undiluted fury. nike had the cheek to add that the new england 2024 home kit disrupts history with a modern take on a classic. well, i think they're hiding in plain sight on that one. there is something darker at play here that we're seeing across the free world. an attack on the west , its history, attack on the west, its history, its culture, its values, whether it's land of hope and glory or rule, britannia! and now the national of england , national flag of england, so—called wokeism hates what the west for and teaches west stands for and teaches countries like the uk and the usa to be ashamed of their past rather than proud . and what rather than proud. and what better illustration is there than the defacing of the national flag ? so will nike be

national flag? so will nike be changing the sacred pride flag, which alienates many women and gay people? i won't hold my breath. will they change their own us flag to render it unrecognisable ? i doubt it. unrecognisable? i doubt it. would they dare to redo the chinese flag where they have millions of customers? it ain't going to happen, will they change the palestinian flag? i wonder how that would go down in the middle east. this is clearly nike's bud light moment in the uk, and they will pay the price. that's the only way that you can really hurt these people in their wallets, because nike don't care about anything really, except making money. everything else is virtue signalling and pr. they have no heart, they have no soul. but people power will make them think twice next time. i predict that sales of these pathetic multicoloured tops will be awful , with even the ultra woke sir keir starmer condemning the

move. britain is a global beacon of diverse ity, the most successful melting pot society in the world and arguably in history. so we don't need any help from this global corporation in defining ourselves, and we don't need them interfering with the national flag, which represents a major part of the united kingdom. nike, a famous for the catchphrase just do it. well, in my view , they can just do one. my view, they can just do one. do one. nike i'm not having it, folks. your reaction market gb news. com i think it's a profound insult or get to your email shortly. but first my top punst email shortly. but first my top pundits , tv personality and pundits, tv personality and broadcaster precious muir, former and farmer neil former tory mp and farmer neil pansh former tory mp and farmer neil parish and leadership coach and speaker adrian hayes. adrian, i'll start with you because you've fought for your country, your reaction to this desecration of the flag?

>> well, i'm going to go home tonight and burn my nike running shoes as my mark of protest, look , it's look, flags are very, look, it's look, flags are very, they're very precious things. and i think you said it, mark. i can think of many countries who would be rioting on the streets tonight if their flags were desecrated, you know, desecrated like this. the scandinavians, the argentinians , the french, the argentinians, the french, french riot for anything. but but i think and yet we seem to accept it. and i think the faa is complicit in this as well, and i'm not accepting it, it's this is and this is a big thing is a difference between patriotism and nationalism , very patriotism and nationalism, very different things. the flag is a mark history. should mark of history. we should be proud of it. and this whether it's a degeneration against the saint take on saint george cross or a take on the they're trying saint george cross or a take on th

touch? >> we're not allowed to celebrate saint george's day, are we? waving the flag? it's considered xenophobic by some people. but why are the english so readily discarded? >> yes, i think there is a problem, because i think you've got very much a sort of national identity of scotland and wales, and i think england and by far the biggest part of the united kingdom , really is not kingdom, really is not represented in the way it should be. and i think, i mean, i think nike just decided that this was a sort of fashion item and let's actually sort of change it and make look more colourful. i make it look more colourful. i mean, the end of the day, mean, at the end of the day, i mean, at the end of the day, i mean, the football association, i mean, they're who, i mean, they're the ones who, for goodness who was it? for goodness sake, who was it? were they, were they colour—blind, when they looked at this not to see that it at this and not to see that it had been changed, you mean when you a national football you have a national football team, , you know, you will team, you, you know, you will have you you've got huge fans that support that nation and the welsh will support their, their

nation, the scots, the same the northern irish and but england will support it to the core. and so you have got to have the engush so you have got to have the english flag on it, and i mean it's just crazy . and so it's just crazy. and so therefore i think, you know, while you can you're absolutely right to have a go at nike, i actually think, what on earth possessed the football association to allow this to happen? and dare i say it, mark, i don't suspect it will happen again . again. >> i doubt it will. >> i doubt it will. >> but precious muir, perhaps the fa and nike just wanted to freshen up these shirts. you get a new one every season. they put some different colours in. perhaps it wasn't their attention intention to sort of dilute the english flag. it was just a kind of fun update . it's just a kind of fun update. it's a fashion item. it's an item that's just there to look good. maybe we're overreacting. >> i think i'm always going to be for fashion because i love fashion. it's like, you know, through and through. but it doesn't sense to change doesn't make sense to change something need something that doesn't need changing . in opinion, changing. and in my opinion, nike knew what they were

nike knew exactly what they were doing . they wanted to sell doing. they wanted to sell shirts and obviously updating a shirt. every time a true fan is going to go out and buy this shirt, and that's what they wanted to do, adding that tiny little adjustment makes that fan 90, little adjustment makes that fan go, need that new shirt. go, oh, i need that new shirt. i need to buy that. but at the end of the day, it backfired because they that change. of the day, it backfired because they was that change. of the day, it backfired because they was the that change. of the day, it backfired because they was the change. :hange. of the day, it backfired because they was the change. theye. that was the change. they shouldn't made. they should shouldn't have made. they should have the as it is. have left the flag as it is. that's i believe. and i that's what i believe. and i honestly that a shirt that honestly think that a shirt that costs £125 each they're costs £125 each time, they're really trying to make a profit off those fans and it's not fair. i think if it's not needed, don't change it. and in my opinion, it doesn't need changing. >> is it unfair, though, precious, to accuse nike of having this agenda to dilute western values, to dilute engush western values, to dilute english patriotism , perhaps all english patriotism, perhaps all they were doing was just adding some colour to their clothes, which is what they do. and they're very successful at it. >> i think they were doing it in the wrong way. you could add colour to the rest the actual colour to the rest of the actual material, put it on the side,

put it on the top, put it on the collar. nothing the collar. nothing to do with the flag needs be changed. at the flag needs to be changed. at the end day, would never end of the day, they would never do another country. why do it to another country. why do it to us? >> i mean, i mean football fans, football fans are never, ever accept that show are the most partisan and that's what they do . they go out to support not only country, but their only their country, but their teams , their towns, their teams, their towns, their cities. >> they love it, don't they? >> they love it, don't they? >> i and that is what they >> but i and that is what they want see on the shirt. and want to see on the shirt. and what on earth nike are doing. and i said, what on and like i said, and what on earth are football earth are the football association doing ? association doing? >> but i hope football fans, vote with their feet and don't buy this shirt. and you said it, mark. i mean, this is the ben& jerry's moment. it's costas, it's bud lights. i mean, nike in, in danger of, having a collapsing share price on the bandwagon, change its virtue signal before. but this flag is a very, as patricia said, you can change the design of the shirt. anything. but this flag is the little thing on the collar that is sacred. don't

change. >> okay, well, listen, let me tell you that i'm an irishman. my parents came to the uk in the 1960s. my parents came to the uk in the 19605. i my parents came to the uk in the 1960s. i was born this 1960s. i was born in this country . it's the greatest country. it's the greatest country. it's the greatest country in the world. and i love england. i love the united kingdom, and i not afraid to kingdom, and i am not afraid to say and there's the flag say it. and there's the flag that tells you everything. i think this great country. think about this great country. i won't wear it for the whole show because doesn't go with show because it doesn't go with the pink tie. i think you'll agree. but come on, england, the pink tie. i think you'll agree yout come on, england, the pink tie. i think you'll agree yout c0|there. england, the pink tie. i think you'll agree yout c0|there youlland, there you go. there you go. look, is still look, neil parish is still talking. i tell you, i've got the most exciting pundits, next up, we've got to get to america. because how has latest because how has the latest devastating royal news been received in the united states ? received in the united states? we'll be asking the queen of us, royal reporting someone that has always had a very soft spot for princess catherine kinsey schofield

next. well, let's get more. now, on the devastating cancer diagnosis for the princess of wales. in the company of the queen of us.

royal reporting. kinsey schofield kinsey . our chats on schofield kinsey. our chats on a saturday night are always fun. they're always delightful , and they're always delightful, and they're always positive. but we're not able to be tonight the most awful news regarding princess catherine. the princess of wales. you've always loved this woman. you've got a particular soft spot for her. your reaction when you heard the news and you listened to that video, watched that video yesterday? >> well, initially tears and then immediate anger, it feels from a royal commentator standpoint who has really never in her life had to respond to random people online on international television, it felt like the princess of wales was kind of forced to come out and give us this very private information before the deadline of easter, which she had asked for, because there was so much vicious online speculation and

that really disappointed me because, you know, i'm going to because, you know, i'm going to be honest, it felt like she had become a punchline in the united states. look at this. the just absolute evil that stephen colbert vomited on his late night program, john oliver, the same vulgar gross about his jokes about the princess of wales. andy cohen from bravo . wales. andy cohen from bravo. kim kardashian has yet to issue an apology over her. on my way to find kate joke. thankfully, blake lively did issue an apology for her joke at the expense of the princess of wales. but i think that there's a lot of envy that comes from the united states because the royals, especially catherine in, is so perfect, seems so perfect. her life seems perfect. she's beautiful. she lives in a castle . she's got a handsome prince husband, beautiful babies. so i think that they jumped on the bandwagon as quickly as they could when it came to some of these conspiracy theories. so my initial aside from, you know,

upset and tears, i immediately became angry that we had allowed this to happen. this was abuse towards a woman that was going through something very serious and something very traumatic for her and her young family. >> and how are the wider american public receiving this news? because she is one of the most famous people in the world, one of the most famous women in america . america. >> absolutely. i mean, just to give you an idea of her popularity here in the states, you know, the search terms. kate middleton is the number one search terms followed by donald trump, then joe biden, and these two are in a race for the white house, according to cnbc. since january of 2024, the princess of wales has had over 230,000 articles written about her, compared to joe biden and donald trump combined. at approximately 101,000 articles written about them . so she's triple the size them. so she's triple the size of these two individuals that at

one point or another, were the most powerful men in the world, you know , over 13 billion views you know, over 13 billion views if you search kate middleton on tiktok. so she's a very significant figure. and she remains despite despite all of this and probably increased because of this , the most because of this, the most popular member of the royal family here in the united states. >> most definitely. you've been a royal watcher since you were a little girl. i think your first idol was princess diana and the name of your very popular podcast, and indeed your website is to die for daily, which is wordplay on princess diana. and i think that she's only been sort of succeeded in your affections by princess catherine was his. what is it about this young woman that wins your heart ? >> 7. >>i 7- >> i mean, ?_ >> i mean, i m 7 >> i mean, i think that she just radiates purity and goodness. i don't know what any other way to describe it, she seems. and i've. i've had the pleasure of

being around her not only in the states, but over in your neck of the woods, just when she's at a royal engagement , she seems like royal engagement, she seems like a very kind individual. she stops and talks to everyone. she's very engaged when she communicates with them. but we've also had the pleasure of really growing up with her. we lost princess diana at 36 years old. we've known the princess of wales since she was a young girl at school at saint andrew's with prince william, and we've seen her grow up from being that fun spirit free or, you know , just spirit free or, you know, just like absolute, like free spirit on, on the slopes and in the water with prince william to the evolution of this very sophisticated, graceful mother and fashion icon. and it's been fun to see that evolution. you feel more connected to her because you've been along for the ride. >> indeed. so i was a vocal critic of the photograph that was ultimately pulled by five major news agencies because my

focus was the palace's handling of that story. i don't think they've handled it well because after that mother's day photo, there was the speculation . do there was the speculation. do you think that the palace authorities have paused for thought in terms of how they've communicated this all along? >> well, knowing what i know now, i feel like it was the least of their concerns. i feel like they probably thought , i like they probably thought, i mean, to me, i think the most upsetting part about watching that video from the princess of wales, which was recorded on wednesday, at windsor, and i'm sure that that's honestly what they were more focused on how they were more focused on how they were more focused on how they were going to execute this , they were going to execute this, i think that what hurt me the most was there was a sense of fear. i mean, no, no matter what she is stoic, she is brave, she's courageous, she's beautiful. but i sensed a little bit of fear in her voice throughout the process. and that's what made me the most

emotional about it. so i do feel like the palace is objective was how do we handle this really big, really scary news? how do we present it to the world? and so that they're still confident in the royal family and that they support this family going forward and give them the privacy that they need and that they're requesting ? they're requesting? >> most definitely. kinsey, thank you so forjoining thank you so much for joining us. and hopefully we'll speak, in a happier context next week when you join us on mark dolan tonight , there you go. well, tonight, there you go. well, look, it's all over the papers. it's the only story in town will reflect on what has been a devastating 24 hours for the royal family with my top pundits. don't

it's just gone. 1030. so time for tomorrow's front pages . and

for tomorrow's front pages. and we start with the sunday mirror. william and kate's message. thank you for your warmth and support. we are both so touched. the prince and princess of wales expressed their gratitude, and a cancer survivor says she will beatit cancer survivor says she will beat it like i did. cancer survivor says she will beat it like i did . sun on beat it like i did. sun on sunday. now kate had emotional lunch with king, the princess of wales and the king had a heart to heart at windsor castle hours before she announced that she had cancer, the mail on sunday. princess of courage kate, i am so touched by everyone's outpouring of love. sunday times kate wrote every word to reassure the nation and murderous stroll of moscow terrorists. new security fears as china targets westminster again and peter mandelson's warning over labour union rights plan. i'll bring you more on that shortly. sunday telegraph now princess pride had courage of wife . a nation is in

of his wife. a nation is in shock as the princess faces her toughest test, says allison pearson, and russia warned not to use moscow attack to intensify by the ukraine war. the observer putin claims arrested gun attackers were fleeing to ukraine and revealed the deadly tactics used to keep migrants from our shores . daily migrants from our shores. daily star sunday is the last front page, kate's cancer fight. celebs grovel over insults to princess. now they are sorry. question mark the great kate climb down was in full swing tonight as celebs like blake lively and conspiracy crackpots rushed in to apologise to the princess and delete messages posted before she told of her cancer fight. those are your front pages. let's get full pundh front pages. let's get full pundit reaction now from former should i say i'm going to get my punst should i say i'm going to get my pundits up here. we've got tv

personality and broadcaster precious muir, former tory mp and parish and and farmer neil parish and leadership coach and speaker adrian hayes. i feel a very torn on this precious muir because on the one hand, the princess of wales, catherine, is on every papen wales, catherine, is on every paper. yes. and probably if you tuned in to most radio stations, most tv networks, it's what we're talking about. but then i get emails from my viewers saying , please give it a rest, saying, please give it a rest, stop talking about this woman and let her recover. it's a tncky and let her recover. it's a tricky one, isn't it? >> it is. i think that the fact that the video has come out, which i've been saying myself personally think personally on twitter, i think finally the, you know, finally has put the, you know, all of the stuff that's been coming out on social media and everyone chatting about it. hopefully to rest. hopefully it's put that to rest. but the problem is it kind of did take too long to come out and i know maybe she wasn't up for it and she wasn't up to it. and this is why the delay of the video , only just recently came video, only just recently came out. but all things they did out. but all the things they did before shouldn't have happened.

well, i think this is my concern. and, you know, the sitting in the car and taking pictures from afar and all of those things should never have happened. >> well, my focus was never catherine, but i feel that the palace authorities failed to handle this story, this crisis. and i think that's what fed the conspiracy theories, which i am on record, as always , calling on record, as always, calling nonsense because it was nonsense. it happened nonsense. but it happened because of poor management by the firm. that's my view. yeah. >> i think that they weren't being advised by the right people at time, because people at the time, because anybody who is doing pr, marketing or even just, you know, care of managing know, taking care of managing talent or managing someone of this , you would advise this level, you would advise them not to speak out at all. just don't say anything. don't react, don't put out pictures that you know have been edited, and just wait until you're ready, kate. and then do the video. give the public what they want because there was no speculation. >> there was no ferrari before the mother's day image was released.

>> exactly. >> exactly. >> and was that dodgy image >> and it was that dodgy image added fuel to the fire. >> right. and the conspiracies just lit and then everything just lit up. and then everything on x and twitter was just on the x and twitter was just insane. instagram. everything was crazy. >> neil. >> neil. >> yeah, but i think the trouble is, i mean, social media had gone mad and i think she was left with alternative . i left with no alternative. i think she probably panicked slightly photograph slightly with the photograph that went out. but i think, you know, then for her to have to go on and with a very emotional appeali on and with a very emotional appeal, i think put huge pressure on her. i mean , i what pressure on her. i mean, i what itook pressure on her. i mean, i what i took from, from the video was that she had to make sure the children knew about it and settled the children. and surely we must remember that while they are the royal family, they're also a family , for goodness also a family, for goodness sake, and i think we demand too much of our royals, and i know perhaps if you're a royal, you know, you are in the limelight, but they're not politicians. they don't necessarily choose to do they the royal family

do it. they are the royal family yeah, i think and don't forget, you know, kate is married into the family. so the royal family. and so therefore and think she is therefore and i think she is absolutely wonderful, and i think we've got leave think we've just got to leave her alone now to, to recover, and for goodness sake, stop all this speculation because should we stop more? >> we should we should we be moving on to other subjects? >> adrian, i tweeted today or yesterday saying, look, whatever's happened, let's let it let her recover in peace and quiet. >> and now we've got the actual video, the airwaves were were pretty good today. >> they covered a few things, but there was a lot more stories because i think the trouble in this country, we become so obsessed with one single story, 24 all you hear 24 seven. that's all you hear for weeks on end. so i think it's generally good. but the sunday papers naturally have got a full barrage of, yeah , of a full barrage of, yeah, of about the story and more power to them because they know that their readers deeply their readers are deeply concerned of concerned about the welfare of princess catherine. >> as our my viewers and my listeners as well. and all we can say is we pray for a speedy

recovery for that remarkable, fabulous young woman. let's get on to some politics, shall we? oh, former cabinet minister simon clarke has told the mail on sunday that they only need a couple more letters to trigger a no confidence vote in rishi sunak.the no confidence vote in rishi sunak. the same article claims dominic cummings is the orchestrator of the tory destruction. so is even more tory chaos on the way? neil pansh tory chaos on the way? neil parish you should know you're a former tory mp . former tory mp. >> this is this is again conspiracy theory, isn't it? you know, what you've got to do is say we're almost there . we only say we're almost there. we only need two more letters. they've probably only got 20 letters, if that, but see, if you always that, but you see, if you always you always do this. and at the moment, like i said, the kamikazes haven't run out of planes, have they? and they are just carrying on and carrying on. what earth do they think they're doing? a total destruction? because the one thing they've got to face is they've got to face the general election with rishi sunak as the

prime minister, as the leader and face the music, because it will turn round and they will have a they can have a fighting chance in the general election, but at this stage it's just total destruction . and if people total destruction. and if people think, you know, if you think you're going to vote for a party thatis you're going to vote for a party that is busy destroying itself, and where are they going find and where are they going to find this magical from? and this magical leader from? and i don't you know, you don't think, you know, you could have whatever leader you could find the and i don't find at the moment. and i don't think it would make much difference to the opinion polls and how people are going to vote because they a change. and because they want a change. and the more they see the tories scrapping and fighting each other and being so vicious with one another. and why would you vote for a party like that? and don't forget, i am a tory, right? and i'm watching it from outside. and i know some of these individuals and they are nasty. remember what you know, it's a family show. but remember what john major used to call them, beginning with a b, the b word and therefore, you know, and think in some ways, dare

and i think in some ways, dare i say sunak is actually say it, rishi sunak is actually two nights. and i think perhaps he ought to settle a few scores, because i think at the moment they are just being vicious. >> who do you care to name names of who these bastards are? >> no, i won't name names , but. >> no, i won't name names, but. but you, i think it's fair. >> has never heard that word, by the way. >> there's fairly, you know, i mean, i the ones behind mean, i mean, the ones behind this, know, and then, this, you know, and then, of course, mean, cummings course, i mean, dominic cummings , of course, mean he he's an interesting man , who has just interesting man, who has just decided now that he has been scorned by the conservative party being scorned by his previous boss, boris , and he is previous boss, boris, and he is out for vengeance, and there is nobody worse than somebody that is out for vengeance. but at the end of the day, you know, the conservative party, the tory party is a serious party and it is actually in government. but you wouldn't believe it, would you? at the moment that the tory party is actually in government,

because the more they actually look themselves, the more because the more they actually look turn themselves, the more because the more they actually look turn offemselves, the more because the more they actually look turn off the elves, the more because the more they actually look turn off the voters. he more because the more they actually look turn off the voters. and|ore they turn off the voters. and this is why the whole thing is crazy. >> adrian , i'm going to come to >> adrian, i'm going to come to you in a second. but obviously a former tory mp in the studio, there's a great opportunity to really, you , really, really grill you, dominic cummings, one of the masterminds vote leave masterminds behind vote leave and boris johnson's remarkable , and boris johnson's remarkable, epoch defying, 2019 election landslide. so he's a smart man. he's got a winning track record. what do you think his plan is, and could he offer his support as a strategist to reform uk? >> he could well do i would advise them against it for the simple reason that i think while he's a very clever man , he's he's a very clever man, he's also very extreme and will also go off off at the deep end , and go off off at the deep end, and i don't think he's got any empathy with anybody. he's got a political strategy and he can be good at that. i mean, what what

he was good at it was targeting the red wall seats when the labour party ignored brexit. and so therefore there was a particular theme, and he was good at that. but that doesn't mean to say he can repeat it necessarily in this general election. and what i would fear with dominic cummings, and i've got to be a little bit careful what i say, but is, is he does watch the show. >> yes. >> yes. >> does he. yes. he'll come after me, i'm sure, but i just believe that the rash he he is not rational at times. >> i think he's a bull in a china shop. >> that's a polite way of putting it. yeah, and i think you'll find , this election will you'll find, this election will in the end, whether we like it or not, be about rationality. and i don't think dominic cummings is your boy for that. >> what's going to >> adrian, what's going to happen?! >> adrian, what's going to happen? i mean, do you think rishi can survive until october or november? >> just about. i think so, but but happens, i think but whatever happens, i think the is, is going to the tory party is, is going to have a wipe—out and it's going

to be an absolutely fascinating election because the tory party's great weapon, they've always over the last ever always had over the last ever since i've been alive is vote x. you get labour. yeah. and that isn't going to cut this, this, this election because labour is going whatever happens, going to win. whatever happens, there's what there's no doubt about it. what i'm fascinated is, is how i'm fascinated to see is, is how the parties go, whether the smaller parties go, whether the smaller parties go, whether the voters vote with their hearts, rather than just going with what they've always done. there's today i heard there's one poll today i heard is reform is now equal with the tory party. yougov poll tonight. but it's crying out for leadership in the tory party. and you asked neal the question who else is there to take? there is no leadership in the cabinet of party. sorry, neal, but of that party. sorry, neal, but maybe, maybe, stand maybe, just maybe, she'll stand again stand again and >> i should stand again and stand leader. but stand for leader. but but seriously, the whole thing. >> i think you'd be a great prime minister. >> absolutely crazy now, because, you see, the more the opinion polls towards reform, opinion polls go towards reform, the frightened the tory mps the more frightened the tory mps become, and the more they go for their leader. and then that

makes them even more unpopular. i mean it, this is this is this is, you know, madness in, in its entirety . entirety. >> if you were a tory backbencher worrying about your seat, would you be backing rishi sunak tonight? >> i think the fact that >> i think i think the fact that obama had to stop in number 10 to a chat, think he's to have a chat, i think he's really well, we don't really just well, we don't really just well, we don't really what chat was really know what the chat was about, was about, but hopefully he was trying what a true trying to show him what a true leader looks like and give him some he's just some tips because he's just failing in polls and he's failing in the polls and he's just going to get the votes just not going to get the votes that thinks he's going to get. >> okay. fascinating stuff. well, many more newspaper front pages to come. some cracking stories from inside as well. plus, my pundits will be nominating their headline heroes and zeroes of the day. and back page zeroes of the day. lots get through. see you in

well, we're talking about rishi sunak on the brink . the emails sunak on the brink. the emails are coming in thick and fast and

says , good evening, mark. i'm says, good evening, mark. i'm a conservative party member who did not for vote sunak and want someone else as leader. i would never vote for smarmy tice. why does a seemingly right wing news channel blatantly back reform uk, which will usher in a labour government? annie, thank you so much for that. of course, the channel does not verify or support any particular party. we've got a broad church here, and i certainly think that sunak is underrated. but look that's an under an underrepresented view. an unfashionable view i can't lie. but i specialise in those don't i. this from mark who says, good evening mark. no true conservatives can vote for the party with sunak as leader. he's betrayed anyone who has ever voted tory new leader. absolutely and last but not least, on nike. that was to take it to ten. they've insulted a whole nation by defacing the engush whole nation by defacing the english flag , david says hi, english flag, david says hi, mark. job done. i've ordered adidas . mark. job done. i've ordered adidas. don't mess with my flag.

well done david. there you go, people. power in action. more front pages and it's the sunday express. and understandably, it is about the princess of wales. and the headline is a nation touched by kate's courage. brave princess wins worldwide admiration for poignant video and rightly so. also my royal hero, cancer survivor mila sends heartfelt message to her special friend . wonderful sentiment . now friend. wonderful sentiment. now this story is in the times and let's have a look at this end. school protests that forced a teacher into hiding, says gove adviser a review by a government adviser a review by a government adviser calls for a ban on demonstrations outside schools after the treatment of a yorkshire teacher who has felt abandoned and suicidal. why has this taken so long? adrian hayes do you know the story? this is a teacher who showed a class, an image of the prophet muhammad as

a an educational tool had the context established, explained that they were about to do this, it wasn't even just an outright image of muhammad. it was an illustration in a magazine to highlight a media story. this person, still on the run in modern britain . modern britain. >> and that's the most disturbing thing about the story. we can argue about the rights and wrongs of what he did at school. i don't think there's anything particularly with it. >> well, we don't have blasphemy laws did laws, so technically he did nothing wrong. laws, so technically he did not but wrong. laws, so technically he did not but it's»ng. laws, so technically he did not but it's the fact that three >> but it's the fact that three years later, what i've read before that he's before reading this that he's still hiding, still got still in hiding, still got police protection. things like this. outrageous this. this is outrageous in this country. again, there's country. and again, there's so many i've asked myself many times i've asked myself over stories that come up where are the government? i mean, michael gove is now speaking. now, why has it taken three years to sort this story out? because it's pretty outrageous. >> are they afraid? >> are they afraid? >> that's the whole point. >> well, that's the whole point. you you know, afraid of offence and rest of it treading and all the rest of it treading carefully. but, you know, you can't have someone like this

just just in hiding, fearing for his life. >> is this an example of mob rule now, is that an issue that we've we've seen it with we've got? we've seen it with those at the weekend. those marches at the weekend. labour trying to get votes cancelled for fear of discriminations. all, is discriminations. is this all, is this of similar theme? >> i've had a bit of a neutral stance on the on the marches. there's lot genuine people there's a lot of genuine people on palestinian marches. and on the palestinian marches. and it's not just, mob rule as some of the media has claimed. so i wouldn't put that in there. but the school protest and what is happening . yeah, this is this is happening. yeah, this is this is very unsavoury. >> it really is , precious muir, >> it really is, precious muir, your headline hero of the day . your headline hero of the day. >> my headline hero is barack obama, because i think for the fact that he actually went to help out rishi sunak in this kind of dire need, that he needs some advice. i think he's, the best person that could actually show him the ropes and show him what a leader looks like. >> there you go, neil. your headune >> there you go, neil. your headline hero, the princess. >> catherine the princess of wales. i think the way she's handled situation and

handled now, the situation and come out a very emotional, come out in a very emotional, video and also, you know, the support not only for her but for others with cancer, and i think, you know, she's had to suffer so lot and she's had to suffer so much with social media and speculation . and i think, you speculation. and i think, you know, now is the time to really celebrate her as a hero and leave her now in peace to recover and the family to come back together. >> well said. couldn't put it better myself, adrian , your better myself, adrian, your headune better myself, adrian, your headline hero. >> i've gone for something a little bit unfashionable. unknown director martin durkin and producer tom nelson for the film or the documentary climate the movie, which was released this week. i watched it on thursday night. it's brilliant. it debunks the science, particularly not that the earth isn't warming, but the fact that co2 is the enemy that we claim it is. it follows the money, the money and the industry that's been built around net zero and above all, at the end, it

actually it shows how the poor in the developing countries are suffering from our net zero regulations. i urge everyone to watch this film and make your own mind. >> what is your view then, of climate change and how to tackle it? if we do at all what if you were sort of world king? what would your solution be? because would your solution be? because would agree? more would you agree? there's more flooding, fires, flooding, more forest fires, that sort of thing. >> that's been debunked as well in film. in the film. >> extreme yeah. i mean >> extreme weather. yeah. i mean , 40 degrees in the uk last summer, there is no look at the evidence. >> they go to the 1930s, >> they go back to the 1930s, they back to know, they go back to you know, hundreds of years ago when the earth hotter as well. earth was much hotter as well. but the science been but all the science has been sort of debunked for this. but there's no doubt we are in a warming since warming period when, since records 1850s when we records began, 1850s when we were in a very period. so i were in a very cold period. so i think it's but the whole point with net zero is what with me about net zero is what exactly is the objective? if you're going to it's to save you're going to say it's to save the i say, no, the the planet, i say, no, the planet will look itself planet will look after itself very well. is it to save very well. so if is it to save lives? very admirable a concept. well. it's not well. which lives? it's not well, it's all lives. climate change has no borders. rubbish.

i've in the middle i've lived in the middle east for years. we can survive for 20 odd years. we can survive very well at those temperatures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou�*ell at those temperatures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou have: those temperatures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou have these temperatures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou have the money. )eratures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou have the money. so |tures for 20 odd years. we can survive veyou have the money. so if res if you have the money. so if it's poor you're after it's poor lives you're after saving. fine. saving. okay well, fine. what about to about putting it to tuberculosis? there's tuberculosis? malaria there's trillions of dollars. and this is what the film covers. >> my problem is i lost that briefly. >> i lost trust in the authorities after covid because >> i lost trust in the athinkties after covid because >> i lost trust in the athink the after covid because >> i lost trust in the athink the reactionlid because >> i lost trust in the athink the reaction was ecause >> i lost trust in the athink the reaction was wrong. i think the reaction was wrong. and. listen , i've a couple and. well, listen, i've a couple of seconds before you, but but are you seeing climate change in the farm? >> yes , but i think it is also a >> yes, but i think it is also a pattern of , of, of different pattern of, of, of different weather. and i think the trouble is, is that there is where i agree with you. absolutely is there's been a whole industry now, around carbon credits and all of that and all of that, and they follow the money. >> follow the money. they cut a couple of seconds back. >> page hero. who is it? >> page hero. who is it? >> back page by page zero donald trump. okay. >> back page by page zero donald tru1because'. >> back page by page zero donald tru1because obviously , i mean he >> because obviously, i mean he owes million. owes 464 million. >> in trouble . yeah. >> donald's in trouble. yeah. back page zero. >> the terrorists who bombed the russian theatre. terrible. >> one word. nike thank you.
