dire news for the conservatives asked voting intentions , asked their voting intentions, 45% of respondents said they intended to vote for labour, with conservative on just 19. >> yeah, and crucially, though , >> yeah, and crucially, though, look at that stat for reform uk. the vote hovers around 14, not far off the tories, while the lib dems, who used to be the third party in the country , of third party in the country, of course, now relegated to just 9. the greens . what are they on? 8? the greens. what are they on? 8? >> that's interesting. so the greens could actually, you know, take over from the liberal democrats. >> yeah . what a change of >> yeah. what a change of scenery. >> what a change of scenery. so when they trust to when asked who they trust to stop small boat illegal stop the small boat illegal migrant of english migrant crossings of the english channel migrant crossings of the english channel, people channel, twice as many people backed labour, 15% said they trust labour to stop the boats, compared just 7% for the compared to just 7% for the conservatives. i must conservatives. although i must say neither say 15 versus seven. neither are doing trust factor doing good and the trust factor for one. for that one. >> yeah, but by far the most people they trusted neither people said they trusted neither party 55, which is really what we've over recent we've been hearing over recent weeks, a damning indictment on both people calling the both what people are calling the uni party, labour and conservatives. is the conservatives. what is the difference? reading

difference? i remember reading a poll a little while ago. >> only 1% of people believed that the government would actually stop the boats, or that the rwanda plan would work, and when asked whether the uk should leave european convention on when asked whether the uk should leave rights pean convention on when asked whether the uk should leave rights if�*an convention on when asked whether the uk should leave rights if echronvention on when asked whether the uk should leave rights if echrjudgeson on human rights if echrjudges block more rwanda flights, 36% said yes, we should, 31% said no, we shouldn't . so an no, we shouldn't. so an interesting collection of polling data there. >> yeah , the echr one definitely >> yeah, the echr one definitely quite damning. and also the migrant crime table, should we get the reaction now from our panel today? the assistant editor of the daily express, asa bennett, and political commentator. >> sir, thank you very much for joining us. >> oh, there we go. asa. pleasure. great to be here. sorry you're so low. asa beg my pardon? was to you pardon? i was going to throw you in bunch of other in the mix with a bunch of other people. what these quite people. asa, what do these quite damning poll results tell us specifically the echr and also the league table ? the migrant league table? >> well, i think the polls in general are going to send tory panic into overdrive because it confirms what we've seen over the last few months, which is

that no matter what rishi sunak does, he's not cutting through to the public. the distrust is so deep that even on his , shall so deep that even on his, shall we say, do or die pledge to tackle the boats , he's not done tackle the boats, he's not done it. and therefore the poll rating continues to die, as they can see that rwanda is still is something that's not yet taking off. and when clearly you're, those being polled have been asked, they decide that. yes. if push, then we may well consider that echr leaves the court of strasbourg, which is very dramatic, and i think certainly i can imagine if pushed, the tories would one day consider that as a sort of brexit, you know, the sequel know, brexit, the sequel referendum. but above all, what we have to appreciate is all big questions culminate in, okay, who do you want to be prime minister? and rishi sunak, he went on your people's question time . he tried to himself up time. he tried to set himself up as keir starmer, as a contrast to keir starmer, and again, the people are making clear that are not clear that they are not convinced. above all, i think it's interesting because when you look where the numbers you look at where the numbers are. reform only

are. yes, reform is only five points tories, really points behind the tories, really chomping at their heels. so logic would suggest , that if you logic would suggest, that if you could reunite the right, that is where the biggest proportion of tory voters are going. maybe they have a fighting chance, but even then, no, because it seems that voters are deciding at the moment tories. moment anyone but the tories. >> asa, do you think there's actually a chance of the conservatives in the run up to the next election saying we'll hold a referendum on echr? hold a referendum on the echr? i imagine they could frame it in such a way that people it could mobilise a lot of public opinion, couldn't it? >> i think such a referendum would definitely get attention. it would change terms it would really change the terms of . but it's not one of debate. but it's not one you'd expect sunak do you'd expect rishi sunak to do if , the tory party led if it was, the tory party led unden if it was, the tory party led under, say, braverman under, say, suella braverman priti or many other priti patel or many other figures, i'm sure they would be tempted , but then we have to tempted, but then we have to remember who the current prime minister is. so, so given that you're looking at a an election con contrast where it's going to be fought the economy, just be fought on the economy, just as that the

as your poll picks up that the economy is the biggest concern of voters, rishi sunak will try and that, you know, stick and say that, you know, stick with don't go back to with the plan. don't go back to square all starmer square one. and all keir starmer has you but do has to ask is, you know, but do you feel better 14 years you feel better after 14 years of government ? and then you of tory government? and then you look at the rest of poll and look at the rest of the poll and that that many people will that shows that many people will sympathise, know, sympathise, you know, on migration and so many other fronts, that years fronts, they see that 14 years of the results of promises and the results really need to speak for themselves. and that's why sunak is going have work cut is going to have his work cut out time. out getting that extra time. >> that's right, >> yes, i think that's right, isn't you. eisa, isn't it? thank you. eisa, i appreciate on this , appreciate your time on this, but, you know, he's giving a cash cricket. oh sunak. cash boost to cricket. oh sunak. >> i saw you tweeting about that this morning. it. >> i saw you tweeting about that this morning. it . you, this morning. was it. you, sweetie, i wasn't tweeting. oh, someone was saying, is this where our money's going? >> mean, cricket's well where our money's going? >> good,|, cricket's well where our money's going? >> good,|, cri�*there well where our money's going? >> good,|, cri�*there was nell and good, and there was a charming video charming little video that accompanied it of rishi sunak, you know, batting, batting, cricket. but anyway, shall we talk about this a little bit more and look at some of the other top stories? we're delighted to be joined the delighted to be joined by the ceo youth vote ceo and founder of youth vote uk, the author ceo and founder of youth vote uk, commentator the author ceo and founder of youth vote uk, commentator nichiz author ceo and founder of youth vote uk, commentator nichi hodgson. and commentator nichi hodgson.

your that polling? your reaction to that polling? are you surprised by any? >> nikki i'm really not. i mean, he's just in the wrong job. rishi sunak should be in silicon valley. that's what he's suited to. he's not suited to leading this country. you know, this new thing us out of thing about getting us out of the he should have the echr? well, he should have done he done that months ago if he was serious feels like serious about it. it feels like he's the card he's just it's the last card that play. and that he's got to play. and i don't he's serious about don't think he's serious about stopping the boats. don't stopping the boats. i don't think about think he is serious about illegal migration. i don't think it bothers much as he it bothers him as much as he makes just think he's makes out. i just think he's playing well. makes out. i just think he's pla patrick well. makes out. i just think he's pla patrick 'had robert >> patrick christys had robert jenrick nights ago. the jenrick on a few nights ago. the former immigration and jenrick on a few nights ago. the for revealedigration and jenrick on a few nights ago. the for revealed exclusively and jenrick on a few nights ago. the for revealed exclusively that and jenrick on a few nights ago. the for revealed exclusively that held he revealed exclusively that he was a meeting with was meant to have a meeting with rishi sunak every couple of weeks . varne i weeks about migration. varne i think they did meet sometimes. but robert jenrick claims that think they did meet sometimes. but irarely,jenrick claims that think they did meet sometimes. but irarely,je|ever,:laims that think they did meet sometimes. but irarely,je|ever, discussedt they rarely, if ever, discussed migration , either legal migration, either legal migration, either legal migration or the small boats problem, extraordinary. problem, which is extraordinary. >> , if that's core >> i mean, if that's the core issue, that's sole thing issue, if that's the sole thing that have to that the conservatives have to offer, then you'd think that would it would be a priority. and it obviously isn't . obviously isn't. >> yes. and if it comes to immigration, want to immigration, if they want to play immigration, if they want to play that card, of course reform

will always go further. alex. yeah i think it's interesting because why because that's probably why reform well in the election. >> i think they've got a very clear position on it. i think it's quite obvious the rwanda plan hasn't worked. >> is like >> i think rishi is like really going rwanda pledge. >> he's not going to budge on pledge. >>and; not going to budge on pledge. >>and inot going to budge on pledge. >>and i think>ing to budge on pledge. >>and i think really budge on pledge. >>and i think really actually»n it. and i think really actually the public are kind of looking it. and i think really actually th> dems th�*termsibliterated reform uk? >> dems th�*terms ofiterated reform uk? >> dems th�*terms of that ed reform uk? >> dems th�*terms of that third lib dems in terms of that third party. they absolutely have record highs now . yeah. just record highs now. yeah. just behind tories. behind the tories. >> mean fascinating isn't >> i mean it's fascinating isn't it? there taking you it? i mean there taking you know, doesn't matter if rishi know, it doesn't matter if rishi sunak the right sunak tries to move to the right of the party reform are already there. imagine in the there. and i can imagine in the coming months we'll see tory mps defect especially if defect to reform, especially if they a good win at the election. >> well, we shall see. but shall we move on to something a little bit different, the civil servants strike work servants are to strike over work from working from home. what's all about, alex? all this about, alex? >> yeah. civil servants are

>> yeah. so civil servants are going to strike because they're being ordered to return to the office days a week. office for just two days a week. so we're . so i guess we're. >> hang on a minute. let me let me get this straight. they only have work in the office two have to work in the office two days a week. yeah, and because of they're striking . of that, they're striking. >> so yeah, >> yeah. i mean, so yeah, i think it's an interesting one because post—covid because what happened post—covid is people , i is i think a lot of people, i think silly in my view, thought that actually that would become the where working from the new norm where working from home permanently, you know, five days a week. and actually, i think days a week. and actually, i thir saying, actually, to days a week. and actually, i thir you 1g, actually, to days a week. and actually, i thir you for actually, to days a week. and actually, i thir you for a:tually, to days a week. and actually, i thir you for a few ly, to days a week. and actually, i thir you for a few days to days a week. and actually, i thir you for a few days week.» see you for a few days a week. actually, quite being actually, it's quite good being in being in the office, you know, being collaborative. and think collaborative. and i think you check life. check check your life. yeah, check your and actually your life. exactly. and actually check your colleagues are alive sometimes. jokes sometimes. but i think all jokes aside, i think it's quite concerning because really, i don't be don't think there should be striking .

and i think actually if you look at, you know, public versus private sector, you wouldn't see this kind of in private can't private companies. you can't just boss just strike because your boss decides policy. decides to change the policy. right? think civil servants right? so i think civil servants need understand need to really understand that two know, two days in the week, you know, i massive i don't think it's a massive issue really well, and it's really that really insulting to people that turn even six turn up five days or even six days a week. >> n days a week. » n >> i mean, you know, i have got a civil servants a lot of time for civil servants because hold the because actually they hold the government together when the government together when the governm and, but i, you know, disarray. and, but i, you know, i know rees—mogg all disarray. and, but i, you know, i knfuss rees—mogg all disarray. and, but i, you know, i knfuss aboutees—mogg all disarray. and, but i, you know, i knfuss about them rogg all disarray. and, but i, you know, i knfuss about them needing all disarray. and, but i, you know, i knfuss about them needing to all the fuss about them needing to be he's be back, but, you know, he's the guy a kip guy that likes to have a kip in parliament. think parliament. so i don't think he's got a leg stand on he's got a leg to stand on really, people. he really, didn't he? on people. he went and post—it went around and put a post—it note, but mean, note, where are you? but i mean, it doesn't look good. i mean, you've realistic. you've got to be realistic. you do talk to people face do need to talk to people face to especially to face, especially doing delicate political work, so much of it is about building relationships of it is about building rela can't|ipsthat there you can't do that on zoom. there was about you can't do that on zoom. there wascivil about you can't do that on zoom. there wascivil service about you can't do that on zoom. there wascivil service striking about the civil service striking because we were because of our 0.1% mean, civil service because we were because of our 0.1% mean been civil service because we were because of our 0.1% mean been accused vice have long been accused of, you know, politics. have long been accused of, you know should politics. have long been accused of, you know should apolitical, tics. they should be apolitical, right? they should be neutral. >> shouldn't right? they should be neutral. >> their shouldn't right? they should be neutral. >> their politics shouldn't right? they should be neutral. >> their politics known n't make their politics known at work. it doesn't mean that they don't have they can still have personal views, but they shouldn'tof work, the direction of their work, but the problem that many problem is that so many times the you the government has been, you know, been know, it's kind of been on the wrong law, all the wrong side of the law, all the things boris johnson did, wrong side of the law, all the thin know, boris johnson did, wrong side of the law, all the thinknow, borproroguing,|id, you know, like proroguing, parliament was unlawful.

she was at a birthday party in midweek, and, a lot of tory voters think that she should still be in office. obviously not after economic not after the economic situation. but that's the feeling amongst a lot of diehard members. anyway >> yeah, let us know what you make of we'll get to some make of it or we'll get to some more of your views in a little bit. the bit. but tomorrow lunchtime, the old celtic old firm derby between celtic and rangers will take place at the stadium. and it the ibrox stadium. yeah. and it comes at the end of a pretty turbulent week scotland . turbulent week in scotland. >> there's a new hate crime bill came force monday. the >> there's a new hate crime bill cam which force monday. the >> there's a new hate crime bill cam which makes monday. the >> there's a new hate crime bill cam which makes it’vionday. the >> there's a new hate crime bill cam which makes it illegal. the >> there's a new hate crime bill cam which makes it illegal to he act, which makes it illegal to stir whatever stir up hatred, whatever that means. on a range of characteristics. >> yeah. so some lawyers are suggesting that all fans at the match tomorrow could technically be arrested under the new laws due to the chance celtic and rangers will sing. rangers supporters will sing. this is crazy. >> yeah, well, rangers >> yeah, well, so rangers supporters tend to sing songs about the pope, catholic priests. and you can imagine kind of the nature of what they're singing . so technically they're singing. so technically we're going to find out anyway. lawyer bonnington , he lawyer alistair bonnington, he told the daily mail that the different the different songs could breach the religious act, sorry. religious hatred act, sorry. part of the new act.

>> yes. >> yes. >> that's one section, isn't it? that's one characteristic religion it, it protects, apparently. >> so joining us now ahead of the derby tomorrow is the old firm derby tomorrow is scottish footballing legend steven pressley, who did play for both celtic and rangers. good morning to sir. thank for both celtic and rangers. goo for|orning to sir. thank for both celtic and rangers. goo for joiningto sir. thank for both celtic and rangers. goo forjoining us. sir. thank for both celtic and rangers. goo forjoining us. so sir. thank for both celtic and rangers. goo forjoining us. so pleasure. you forjoining us. so pleasure. what's going on here? i mean traditionally at the old firm matches the crowd's pretty feisty. know, feisty. there's some, you know, pretty unsavoury chanting which is just to stadium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople to stadium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople take to stadium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople take it stadium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople take it on stadium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople take it on the dium pretty unsavoury chanting which is jupeople take it on the chin, and people take it on the chin, you know, they don't take it too seriously time , but seriously a lot of the time, but they be nicked they could all be nicked tomorrow derby. tomorrow at the old firm derby. >> yeah, well, the first thing to make clear is that my understanding is that the there has been no talks that have taken place between the scottish parliament, between the football clubs, between the sfa or the police department. >> so i think everybody is very much in the dark regarding the implementation of this law . so, implementation of this law. so, you know, it's going to be very interesting how it's managed tomorrow. >> do you think any of the fans

who turn up, for the game will actually be thinking about these new laws? do you think it will be in their mind that they need to be a bit careful with what they chant or do you think they won't it a second won't give it a second thought? >> think should >> well, i think they should always be careful what always be careful about what they have they chant. the issue you have is i think we all understand what hate and abusive language is and behaviour is, and this type of behaviour should never, ever be condoned. the difficulty you have is there's a grey area below that and it's a hugely contentious area , an area that's contentious area, an area that's going to be very, very difficult for the police to manage. one of the other difficulties are that, of course there are songs and again, i will relay this. they shouldn't be condoned. but many of the supporters that sing those with those songs don't sing them with hatred. like they hatred. it's almost like they sing them as they're part of the club. they support. so again, it's a very contentious area. >> stephen, i have to ask you ,

>> stephen, i have to ask you, as a legend of both clubs, who did you prefer playing for? rangers or celtic? >> well, the truth of the matter is i enjoyed both the my experience at rangers was as a young player and, when i played there, i don't think i, i fully appreciated at that stage of my career the experience of playing at such a massive club. but then, you know , going to celtic then, you know, going to celtic ten years later and, and having that experience behind me, i really enjoyed and understood what a privilege it was to play at such a club like that. so, you know, both were great experiences in both different in their own right. >> and just for our viewers who aren't familiar with football or the derby, explain to the old firm derby, explain to us the atmosphere. what does it feel like playing in that game and what does mean of and what does it mean to fans of both scots ? both both teams and scots? >> well, to use a word that's, obviously been highly debated. this, this week is there is a lot of hatred there. you know,

it's a very unique derby. it, it divides the city in many ways. but as a player, you know , it's, but as a player, you know, it's, you realise just how important this game is because in the aftermath of that, it can it can spill over for long periods. and, you know , overtake your and, you know, overtake your life in many respects, because walking the streets of glasgow is a lot better experience when you're on the receiving end of a win. so you know, it's it is and it's, it's a, it's a unique experience, a wonderful game of football and a game as well that that's serving up many subplots as we lead into that with, you know, the, the, the, the projected weather, the, the incident with the referee. so it's going to be it's going to be a really interesting match. >> yeah. it's going to be a feisty steven, you feisty one. steven, thank you so much this much for joining us this morning. appreciate morning. really appreciate it. thank definitely morning. really appreciate it. tisight definitely morning. really appreciate it. tisight to definitely morning. really appreciate it. tisight to behold. definitely morning. really appreciate it. tisight to behold. it'sefinitely morning. really appreciate it. tisight to behold. it's one tely morning. really appreciate it. tisight to behold. it's one ofy a sight to behold. it's one of the fiercest football rivalries in the world. and the atmosphere

service the service charge, but the restaurant chain ping pong has scrapped altogether . and scrapped tipping altogether. and they're they're starting charging customers a 15% brand fee instead, which the restaurant claims goes towards franchise fees and other brand related expenditure. sounds fishy . so that's automatically fishy. so that's automatically added to the bill at the end of added to the bill at the end of a meal. diners can opt out of paying a meal. diners can opt out of paying it, but they're unable to leave a tip for the staff , 90% leave a tip for the staff, 90% of have gone to the of which would have gone to the waiting . waiting staff themselves. >> so they have this service charge can't leave charge and they can't then leave a for the waitstaff. the a tip for the waitstaff. the company says that will company says that it will instead employees a pay instead give employees a pay rise to match earnings. staff would received with service would have received with service charge distribution. >> complicated . and >> sounds very complicated. and joining us now in the studio is celebrity chef james and stocks. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. first question should we tip i think should should we tip i think you should definitely especially if the definitely tip especially if the meal is good. but ideally you want to tip and give want to be able to tip and give it to the people who are actually the work. it to the people who are act|that's the work. it to the people who are act|that's what:he work. it to the people who are act|that's what ie work. it to the people who are act|that's what i was rk. it to the people who are act|that's what i was just saying >> that's what i was just saying to you air. always like to you off air. so i always like tipping enjoy tipping,

tipping or enjoy tipping, especially was especially if the service was good. but i always ask the waitress the waiter, is this waitress or the waiter, is this going to or your going to you? or is your boss going to you? or is your boss going swipe it? or is it going to swipe it? or is it going to swipe it? or is it going be shared amongst the going to be shared amongst the other i want to other staff? because i want to tip that person, not the collective know, collective staff or, you know, not least the business? >> well, i think that's of >> well, i think that's part of the mean, the worry, isn't it? i mean, automatically you get the bill the worry, isn't it? i mean, autothere's.ly you get the bill the worry, isn't it? i mean, autothere's over u get the bill the worry, isn't it? i mean, autothere's over 12.5% the bill the worry, isn't it? i mean, autothere's over 12.5% service and there's over 12.5% service charge on your bill, whereas this company looking do this company are looking to do like a brand fee such, which like a brand fee as such, which i think is ridiculous. personally because you're showing brand loyalty by going personally because you're showiin brand loyalty by going personally because you're showiin the nd loyalty by going personally because you're showiin the first »yalty by going personally because you're showiin the first place. �*y going personally because you're showiin the first place. so,)ing there in the first place. so, you know, you could go to other chains, you go to other restaurants, whatever. but yeah, you think waiters you know, do you think waiters and waitresses are receiving less way than less in the way of tips than they to, just because, you they used to, just because, you know, people used to carry around cash. >> to able to just >> you used to be able to just slip someone, a five slip someone, you know, a five or whatever. or a couple of pounds, whatever. at the your and it at the end of your meal, and it would them. they would go straight to them. they just they go. just pocket it and off they go. whereas through whereas now it's either through the supplied the system, it's supplied already to the bill and, and this brand fee, whatever this is 100. >> i mean, it doesn't sit right with me at all, to be honest with me at all, to be honest with you. realistically, you want to make sure that person is

therapeutic. yeah absolutely. absolutely allows you to sort of, , acknowledge it and of, you know, acknowledge it and kind of move on and hopefully get yourself into a better place to welcome in something new, look, it's one of those things where you have to repair the relationship with yourself first. and it's so subjective of how long that time is for everyone . use the support of everyone. use the support of your friends. you know, you remind us of. your friends are there for you. there's professional help out there. there's incredible resources through through books and yeah, like trainers, coaches, relationship people like just just get the help you need. but there should be no sort of oh it's a six month thing. it's a it's a six month thing. it's a it's just as long as it takes, a lot of people never do find love again. lots of people stay on their own. if their partner has died . i mean, their own. if their partner has died. i mean, in what time? their own. if their partner has died . i mean, in what time? lots died. i mean, in what time? lots of people will make judgements. if someone's partner has passed away and then they're immediately back on the dating scene, for example, is there an

acceptable amount of time or is this just an individual thing ? this just an individual thing? >> it's very well pointed out. i was just discussing with a friend in the green room about this exact case where i think it was the partner from the wanted singer away . you singer that passed away. you know, she was straight into a relationship within like six months. there was an outrage months. and there was an outrage of that. but, you know, as we're rightfully disgusting, disgusting discussing should i say , you know, that that person say, you know, that that person is grieving as she's losing someone and getting to a place in her mind of perhaps bringing someone in new. and we've got to think about the partner that's left us. you know what? what would they want for us? would they want us to sit around the house and just be sitting there and all this grief? no. they want the best for us, and they want the best for us, and they want us to move on and find a place happiness. so i think want us to move on and find a placneediappiness. so i think want us to move on and find a placneediapsort ss. so i think want us to move on and find a placneediapsort of so i think want us to move on and find a placneediapsort of keep think want us to move on and find a placneediapsort of keep telling you need to sort of keep telling yourself opposed yourself that story as opposed to, i'm not to allow to, i'm not going to allow anyone new in my life ever again. my heart was with this

person. your heart can still be with that person, but we've got person. your heart can still be wi'allowt person, but we've got person. your heart can still be wi'allow spacein, but we've got person. your heart can still be wi'allow space for3ut we've got person. your heart can still be wi'allow space for something ot new. >> yeah, and as you said, if you think about your deceased partner who's left, i mean, could you there would be no situation where you would ever imagine. they wouldn't want you to that . but what to be happy with that. but what is it changed when there's how does change there's does it change when there's children and children involved? and it's a single kids single parent left with kids and they're them to new partners. >> again, this is something it's going time . it really going to take time. it really is. at early stage , is. and at the early stage, there might be a few people that you're dating and experiencing and is the and seeing if there is the chemistry, that the chemistry, see if that is the new got to be new person. so you've got to be a bit clever about it. you've got to that decision where a bit clever about it. you've got feel that decision where a bit clever about it. you've got feel thatthat decision where a bit clever about it. you've got feel that you've:ision where a bit clever about it. you've got feel that you've put n where a bit clever about it. you've got feel that you've put enough you feel that you've put enough time in the bank and, yeah, i how how is how there is no right way to do that. it just needs to be in good time when you feel like this is someone that is invested in me in a good way, do you think it's a good thing to be open, though?

>> if you are moving on and you are to be open with your are dating to be open with your children, age they are, children, whatever age they are, or should these things, should you only introduce a new partner to children once know to your children once you know you've been together for six months, a year, or yeah , i'm months, a year, or yeah, i'm deaung months, a year, or yeah, i'm dealing with that question. >> i know it's very fresh on my mind because i'm dealing with situation with a client the situation with a client at the moment. she's got moment. she's she's got children. the she's dating moment. she's she's got chiligot. the she's dating moment. she's she's got chiligot children. she's dating moment. she's she's got chiligot children. and s dating moment. she's she's got chiligot children. and the iting moment. she's she's got chiligot children. and the caveat has got children. and the caveat is in in the custody clause. he can only introduce a new partner after 12 months. oh, really? so i will advise . yeah, i will i will advise. yeah, i will advise anyone that comes to , you advise anyone that comes to, you know, drawing out those agreements not to have that in place because that can really, mess up the natural progression of that new relationship because you're going to have to wait for 12 months for it to move on to you're going to have to wait for 12 rnextis for it to move on to you're going to have to wait for 12 rnext chapterto move on to you're going to have to wait for 12 rnext chapter .» move on to you're going to have to wait for 12 rnext chapter . so ove on to you're going to have to wait for 12 rnext chapter . so that's to the next chapter. so that's something i didn't even think about brought up . about until it was brought up. >> well, god forbid it ever happens probably happens to me, but i'd probably want the new
