the front pages. we'll go to the mail on sunday that says cuts leave uk with just one plan for one plane. this is a carriage return after before the e one plane for paris d—day jump makes more sense now, sunday times tainted blood is worst scandal of my lifetime. it's time for justice. vows hunt. the observer says archbishop of canterbury urges starmer to ditch cruel two child benefit cap sunday telegraph says labour will tell nhs staff to work weekends . the nhs staff to work weekends. the sunday express companies told end this woke madness. and finally the daily star. three lions versus frogs and those will be front pages. let's make some more sense of this, starting with the sunday telegraph. paul thanks for coming to me. >> to make more sense, steve, sunday telegraph, your labour will tell nhs staff to work weekends , nhs staff to be told weekends, nhs staff to be told to work evenings and weekends

under labour plans to shorten waiting lists, wes streeting has announced. now i'm guessing any nhs staff watching this will be screaming at the screen saying we already work evenings and weekends now. i know things seem to slow down over the weekends , to slow down over the weekends, but it surprises me that this would be the angle he would take. he's also said that he says the nhs is overreliant on migrant workers. when did the labour party become so tory? they're like, we're going to make them work more and we're going to get rid of the foreigners. you're loving it, aren't you? i mean, to be honest, i'm on board. i've already put my vote in for sir keir starmer, but, it feels to me like the nhs were riding high dunng me like the nhs were riding high during covid. you were banging pans and singing at 8:00 on a thursday, and all of a sudden, much like teachers were at the time, you know, teachers were were, were given all these praise because we suddenly realised how difficult it was to look after children every day of their blooming week. the nhs are coming into are getting sort of a bit of a kicking here and it's interesting because i'm not sure

the solution to the nhs problems is anything to do with staff working more, or even more money. it just needs to be less ill people and it comes back and i say this every single time it comes back to, oh, to louis schaefer. okay, i was going to say that let's just say overpopulation. >> but yeah, but even if there were fewer ill people, the ill people who would rock up on a weekend would have worse outcomes than people who work rock up on a weekday. that's not right. if you're a if you work in health provision , you've got in health provision, you've got to do it seven days a week. of course you have, because people don't just get ill on a on a monday morning. >> yeah, but this is, you can't believe what this is. this is this is the labour government saying something that is not labour government. so why are they saying this? you have to think that they are saying this because they're not going to implement this, and they're just trying to mitigate what's going to happen in the future . what's to happen in the future. what's going to happen when the nhs was invented , it was a seven day invented, it was a seven day a week thing invented by labour. >> i mean, we're going back. yeah. >> yeah, i don't think so. >> yeah, i don't think so. >> i don't think it was like it wasn't like super busy on a saturday or sunday. they didn't have the thing. no. but you

can't have a system where you think, well, you know, if you have a heart attack on saturday, bad luck. >> i mean, it is true that if you if you fall ill on a friday and, you know, you wake up in hospital on a saturday, you will wait till monday to see the top doctor or your test results won't won't be through on saturday or sunday. and i guess that , you know, perhaps, saturday or sunday. and i guess that, you know, perhaps, perhaps more working hours. i mean, it just seems ridiculous . it feels just seems ridiculous. it feels like the all nhs were, particularly in hospitals. that's what i'm talking about now. not all nhs workers. i haven't seen a gp since 2019. i don't know where they are, a bit like they're a bit like the wizard of oz, aren't they? just little people behind a curtain going, i'm not doing it anymore. >> but paul, you haven't answered the question. >> i didn't know there was one. >> i didn't know there was one. >> there is the question. there's the two questions. not you're debating this whole thing about forcing people, forcing doctors and nhs people to work on the weekends. why is it in the telegraph and why is labour saying it? how about those two questions? those are two questions. >> wasn't the telegraph. >> wasn't the telegraph. >> the telegraph can't make their mind up which side of the right and left they sit on, i don't think, but the reason labour are doing this is because

they know all the overwhelming surge towards power is on the way. they've got to start. they can't say nice things anymore. they can't have policies that are all clouds and fluffy nice stuff and peaches and cream. they've got to say things like, is this true? >> are they going to make nhs staff work weekends? no, because there is no. the answer, of course, is they're going to strike, but they'll strike seven days a week and that will be the there you go to the observer. >> lewis. what have they got? this is the observer, the church, the archbishop of canterbury. >> arches starmer to ditch cruel two child benefit cap . i don't two child benefit cap. i don't even know why this is cruel. because if you if you have three children, you don't get any more money. but it's because it's the benefit. cap isn't for the children , it's for the parents. children, it's for the parents. it's mad money. it's money that they give the mother just in case the father doesn't come home and give. this is how it used to be. it used to be the father would come home and give the children, give the mother money. and then just in case that that didn't happen, they the state would do it. and the state has taken over basically. who will this benefit? who will

benefit from a three child or four child benefit? >> where do you stop? >> where do you stop? >> okay, so it sounds it's really difficult this because you're just going to sound cruel. if you say no, you can't. but there is you know, there is a fiscal economical issue at play a fiscal economical issue at play here. and i guess, you know, from the conservative angle of this , it is much more angle of this, it is much more about what if you can't have if you can't afford the children don't have them. this is really about the kids that are already in the system. and, you know, parents that have , three, four, parents that have, three, four, five children and are capped at at two. the big part of this story for me, though, again, is justin welby . story for me, though, again, is justin welby. i story for me, though, again, is justin welby . i don't know if justin welby. i don't know if he's ever given a sermon in church. he gives all of his sermons to the guardian and observer and he says, this is very easy politics. look after children. yeah. here again, nice one. justin >> but you know, but if it's you say there's a fiscal issue here that you can't just keep spending money. why are we spending money. why are we spending money. why are we spending money on not means testing this the idea that you get child benefit if you're very. >> margaret thatcher i like it.

yeah. yeah. i mean mean you mean testing with the parents or the children? >> the. well, i'm presuming the kids aren't earning much. it's like there's laws against. >> there is there is some means testing for child benefit because isn't it over 100 grand? no right. so okay. so one person over 50 or 2 people over 100. so two people could earn 49,999. it could fall under the cap and you could fall under the cap and you could still get child benefit. or you could have one person in that family earning £50,000, and they wouldn't be entitled to the benefit. now. >> yeah, the median wage is something like 36 or something. so it's a lot , something like 36 or something. so it's a lot, isn't something like 36 or something. so it's a lot , isn't it? so it's a lot, isn't it? >> even if you're earning you could cap it at 30. yeah. you could cap it at 30. yeah. you could cap it at 30. and then and then some of that money could be diverted elsewhere. i don't think people earning £50,000 a year need the £80 a week. however, it is tough out there. >> yeah, well fair enough. bad news for me, well, what's the mail on sunday going with paul, cuts leave uk with just one plane for paras. dj d—day jump. nearly got it. none of us have got this headline right.

basically, plans for a mass parachute drop over normandy to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d—day have been scaled back because cutbacks have left the mod without enough planes. so the original plan was to send 450 men. and it does say men in here. in four separate planes, turns out because of cutbacks, there is only one plane available. so i'm guessing there will be about 100 chaps jumping out . yeah, my argument. out. yeah, my argument. >> we have those planes that are waiting to go to rwanda. what are they doing? >> that's a steve lovely political bit of a satire. good point. where are they? i mean, they're taking at the moment. they've taken one person to rwanda and they paid him £3,000 to go. yeah. now i would happily go to rwanda. it looks like a lovely place to go on holiday. and if you want to give me three grand, i can pretend to arrive on a dinghy if you want. but this story, this, this story to me, it's in the mail. it's in the mail on sunday and it passions their sort of reader base because it's d—day commemoration of the 80th. not enough planes to celebrate.

however, it's not the 80th, it's not the 80th. >> it is 80 years. how old are you? >> you're 82. you were two years old. >> the 80th? >> the 80th? >> no, that might be true, but i look amazing. but. but the d—day was this d—day when they dropped the planes. 74. oh, yeah, it is. it is . it is. >> i mean, i was waiting for it. it was the 70th. >> this was the 80th, 44, 80th. >> this was the 80th, 44, 80th. >> okay. >> okay. >> mass is different in usa. but at the end of the day, i think the point i'm trying to make is that if they didn't tell us this, we wouldn't know. yeah. all right . all right. >> how do we know we'll take a quick hit on this one, finally, to the daily star sunday. lewis. >> oh, this is big news. three hons >> oh, this is big news. three lions versus the frogs. but it's not really the frogs because the frogs are the french. it's about germany. so i don't know what the what what animal? >> the germans, what the frogs do anyway. but but it says. >> it says that the that where that in germany, in this place where the where the british, the uk team is going to be, they've got frogs and they make a lot of noise. so, so , harry kane, who noise. so, so, harry kane, who is on the team, is not going to get his sleep and so it looks

like you know about football, pauli like you know about football, paul i do. >> he's pretty much covered it though . i mean, there is a posh though. i mean, there is a posh hotel in germany where the england team will stay. there's a bit of a problem with frogs in the summer and they might keep them awake, boffins. seagulls. the star i used to live in a flat that was right up against this pond. >> this park with the pond in it. and the frogs were really noisy. in the summer, when you have to have the windows open. great night sleep. got lulled to sleep by the weird sounds of the idea. it says in there that you can't sleep well, trust me. the frog chorus for a start, rupert the bear . i frog chorus for a start, rupert the bear. i mean, i'd forgotten about paul mccartney's low of his career, and you've got some heat afterwards there. >> frogs jumping around . >> frogs jumping around. >> frogs jumping around. >> well, that's the front pages out of the way. in the next section, we talk about allahu akban section, we talk about allahu akbar, intifada and net zero. so you've got a few minutes to get your beta

welcome back to headliners. i'm stephen allen, here with paul

cox and lewis schaefer. we go. oh, and we are, i should say this as well. we're hosting a night with their headliners live , and you can join us for an evening of comedy with i should do it in the voice. >> andrew doyle leo kearse simon evans and josh. >> they've just left it at josh al fayed. for more information, you can scan the qr code that's on the screen or visit gb news. com all right, paul, on the screen or visit gb news. com all right, paul , to the com all right, paul, to the sunday telegraph. voters think that politicians shouldn't shout allahu akbar. only time i shout it is to spice up a game of bingo . hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. >> brilliant. >> brilliant. >> not as good as the first version of the joke, but we all agreed we could do the first version of the joke. >> we need to do headliners after hours , most voters think after hours, most voters think shouting allahu akbar is inappropriate for politicians, so 6 in 10 or 60% for the layman think it's inappropriate for politicians to shout allahu akbar or alan snack bar as we like to call it, here to praise god. after winning an election , god. after winning an election, polling has found. so i mean, i agree, but i'd love to see jacob

rees—mogg do it just once. it would be amazing . rees—mogg do it just once. it would be amazing. i'd rees—mogg do it just once. it would be amazing . i'd love it if would be amazing. i'd love it if rees—mogg could shout, but what happens if he said if jacob rees—mogg said god is great or something ? something? >> wow, this is amazing. >> wow, this is amazing. >> it's a good point and that's all it means . >> it's a good point and that's all it means. it's all it does mean. but this is following obviously green party councillor moeen ali as victoria speech after his campaign on behalf of the people of gaza and leeds. yeah, which is exactly what this story is about. yeah, which is exactly what this story is about . you know, there story is about. you know, there were a lot of, muslim politicians and local councillors that campaigned on behalf of the people of gaza and palestine. and one seats on that, on that within the uk. this this issue is not going away. it's a powerful issue in our country. and we've got the green party now kind of co—opted by, the gaza movement is what i would say. >> well, yeah, that's going to happen. >> and it'll be the death of the death of the green party. you feel i mean, i don't feel for them too much, but you feel for them too much, but you feel for them a little bit because they're not going to be the

party that they were. they're going to be the party of the, of the gaza movement. but the 29% thought it was to okay scream that. so what? what does that mean? we don't know the numbers. this is one of those typical polls. you'd have to find out the numbers before you before you get all excited about it . you get all excited about it. >> the allahuakbar, i don't think. i mean, obviously it's got its connotations . lie—ins. got its connotations. lie—ins. yeah. let's be let's be absolutely brutally honest about it. often gets shouted just before something very terrible is about to happen. >> well, i mean, let's not forget that jihad means struggle . so you could say this is clearly a god is great. >> i'm having a bit of a struggle. bosh yeah, the arena blows up, so i'm not cool with it. i'm not cool with it. but, you know, that's not a lie. that's absolute fact. and the problem i had with it is that is, is this debate around the issues of the day, the people of leeds. and i know there's a majority there's quite a significant minority in leeds that are a muslim faith. but i'm pretty sure like the bins not getting collected correctly or the nhs problems should be

greater on their list of concerns . concerns. >> it should be, but were they probably were, some of them come from they probably the bins don't get collected very well there. >> so they're probably but still i think the point is like it's not even like a local politician who's an mp who would then go to the house of parliament and maybe vote on something. this is someone who would be in charge of a local council. yeah. so as if the meetings i can't wait for the greens to have like some meeting in the running order is, oh, we're talking about gaza. we're talking about the west bank, recycling bins . it's going bank, recycling bins. it's going to be a very weird meeting. >> no, you will think it's a weird meeting. we will think it's a weird meeting, but they won't think it's a weird meeting because that's important to them. you can't tell people , them. you can't tell people, then. this is not about changing law. this is just about perceptions that people have. and maybe their their perceptions are different than oui'. >> our. >> well, this is true. makes sense. >> louis, that was ridiculous. did he just say that? >> it makes sense. yeah. >> it makes sense. yeah. >> you might. no, you didn't just make sense. it sounded intelligent. i understood it . intelligent. i understood it. people out there would have understood every word you said. >> they will if they've listened to it. >> if you know what's happened to the real louis, do get in touch. we will track him down.

we're not having any of this auen we're not having any of this alien replacement luck. all right. louis to the sunday, the mail on sunday, and how are the weekly pro—palestine protests going? brought any peace about yet? >> well, you know what? no, but that's not the purpose . the that's not the purpose. the purpose is to bring intifada, because that's what they're screaming. pro—palestinian demonstrators chant that intifada revolution and uk government . watch your back. government. watch your back. palestinian palestine is coming back as met police move of to make arrests. one arrest. how many arrests did they make to stop this thing ? there's a war stop this thing? there's a war going on. it's a global war. it just happens to be happening in our community. and it's not being closed down, which means it's going to it's going to continue . continue. >> it's madness to some degree, in the sense that they're doing the same thing every weekend, but getting the same result is making no material difference to that war in gaza. it's really not. i mean, what they'll do in hindsight is whenever this ends and it will end and hopefully it will end as soon as possible, but whenever it ends, they'll claim victory and say, well, it's because we marched every

weekend. i mean, they have been marching a lot of weekends, so i'd like to have seen a better rhyming pattern than uk government, watch your back. palestine is coming back. they're going to mix it up a bit. they could have mix it up a bit. they could have mix it up a bit. uk government, that's the big problem there. what's your sack? i don't know, but they could have gone with. they could have gone with anything. i'm sure you made it better. i mean i'm, you know, i've only just started getting involved in this in the rapping game. matt. >> you think it's going away ? >> you think it's going away? >> you think it's going away? >> i don't think it's going away. i think it's the end of the world. i think you're sitting there all going to go away. it's not going to go away that the people who are fighting for gaza are. there's lots of people who are fighting for gaza. a lot of them are. you know, real gaza type people. and the other people are just left wing people who are looking for ways to screw, you know, to mess with the local government that we have. >> so you think that's the protest might not have impacted anything in the middle east, but they are impacting bin bin collection days. you know, they have had i was wrong at the start. they have had some impact. >> it's just not local politics. and you know, geo global

politics like this really don't get overly affected by, you know, local , purple haired, know, local, purple haired, middle class, overly privileged, trust fund kids doing anything. i know they're not the people that are marching in, london every weekend, but some of them are. and i know it's a cliche, but some of them are. but are they are they? well, those that aren't, >> are they are the ones who are. i don't know how many are. we don't know how many are. all we know is this is that is that as a person who's not a citizen of this country , if they have of this country, if they have citizens in this country, is that i think you shouldn't be allowed to demonstrate against the government policy unless you're a citizen in the country. >> yeah, but that would go against the first amendment, wouldn't it? no. >> we don't have in this country enhen >> we don't have in this country either. no >> no win. yeah, exactly. yeah it doesn't. but are you american or british? louis, mind your own business. >> good. >> good. >> good. >> good answer. bernard >> good answer. bernard >> parents like me who are still sat there bristling. do you need geo before global? is that not you? >> don't. so sorry. no. right.

absolutely right . you right to absolutely right. you right to bnng absolutely right. you right to bring me up on that? as i was saying, i was thinking i've just said the same word twice. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> oh, i don't get out much. that's what we've learned there, paul that's what we've learned there, paul. the sunday times and putting a cap on rents makes rents go up. this story is a great advert for wearing condoms. >> that's a good point, rent. you did this to me every time, steve little snappers in there in the link i love it. rents rise in fastest rate in uk under snp cap. so the snp rent control scheme has been branded an abject failure, not just by me , abject failure, not just by me, by actual other people. as new figures revealed that price increases more rapidly in scotland than any other nation in the region and the region, what region are we in the region of the uk where you've got you've got did they call it the region? >> just out of curiosity. >> just out of curiosity. >> yeah. region in the uk or nafion >> yeah. region in the uk or nation or region in the uk. basically what i do is i read the words that are written down in the newspaper out loud, i don't know any other words than the ones that are written here. so the question for me is, have the snp really done anything of any value? because it does feel

like all they talk about is genitals and making people poorer and, you know, removing genitals or removing, you know, whatever. they've never seemed to achieve anything . to achieve anything. >> there was a bottle recycling scheme, come on, credit where it's due. >> yeah. and they had some ferries with painted on windows. we know that. but whilst this initial legislation has capped rents for existing tenants who remained in place, the rules did not apply to taking on new leases. and that's where that's where the kick is for this. so all you do is you you end that, you end that lease as a landlord and you kick one in the next week. that's you know, twice the rent or whatever it might well be a significant percentage rise and you end up with this problem. it wouldn't have taken if they had just been concerning themselves with, you know, the data and the facts of this got some intelligent people involved. this would never have happened. it'sjust involved. this would never have happened. it's just they're all vanhy happened. it's just they're all vanity projects. >> they could have asked me. i mean, i come from new york, where there's been rent control since 1947. or not even that. no.dunng since 1947. or not even that. no. during the war. the war where they had the helicopters, not the helicopters, didn't have helicopters. >> thundercats, whatever. >> thundercats, whatever. >> that was the one that they want the planes to drop the

parachuters. the point is, is it never works. rent control never works anywhere. it's just enhen >> no, it doesn't . >> no, it doesn't. >> no, it doesn't. >> it kills the market wherever there is. and there's rent control in. so many different. >> but these, these parties, they all say the same thing. oh, we don't like, we don't like poon we don't like, we don't like poor. we don't like poor people. >> yeah . we just need to build >> yeah. we just need to build more houses because the house price will affect rental price. and that's how you sort. >> no, no, because they just bnng >> no, no, because they just bring more people into the country. we don't need any more housing. we just need to stop divorce, which forces people to get together and live in places. and people would be happier. so you are wrong. >> i'm not sure about happier. let's get rid of divorce and make people happier. yeah. louis, the sunday telegraph airfares to america could go up thanks to net zero. so that makes louis more likely to stay down. >> you, greta, yes, probably. >> you, greta, yes, probably. >> it has to do with the money, but it's there's this there's this thing. it's a transatlantic airfares to jump under net zero fuel rules . it's airfares to jump under net zero fuel rules. it's this is that this is virgin atlantic is saying that it's going to go up

by £40. a flight from 350 to 390, whatever it is, something like that. it's called an saf, which is called a i should have written down what it was sustainable aviation fuel, where they want people to use basically dodgy fuel and not the good oh, sorry. >> let me apologise for louis schaefer in general, but specifically for a apologise. >> i apologise for that. >> i apologise for that. >> anyway, we missed one early on where we thought you were starting the worst word and you took a swerve, so we'll take it. >> i don't know, ijust i'm getting a little more relaxed because you've been you've been amazing, paul. >> thank you very much, louis. really. >> i mean, because this is the last time we'll ever work together. >> yeah. no every minute of it. >> yeah. no every minute of it. >> right . keep >> yeah. no every minute of it. >> right. keep coming. you're doing great. louis is tired. >> i'm not tired. >> i'm not tired. >> i'm not tired. >> i'm trying to help you out. >> i'm trying to help you out. >> no, just you . you act. >> no, just you. you act. >> okay. so the airlines are operating, what's fascinating about this to me is the one place the uk ahead of the eu. because by 2030, we are going to

have much more stringent rules on, on airfare, so on air fuel than the eu are, but considerably more stringent. so you know, blooming brexit, making us care for the environment more and all that. but it's i don't know i mean this article is written from the perspective actually of some of the airlines . and they're and the airlines. and they're and they're pushing back going why do i keep taking it out on us? it's worse because you splurge all of this chemical into the air three zillion times a day, and it is having an effect. and i know that i've got some pretty strong views on on climate alarmism, but it's not to say that it's not happening . and that it's not happening. and there are ways that we can do it. it'sjust there are ways that we can do it. it's just the arbitrary dates that bother me. net zero 2030. you know, we must do it by then or else. no no no no, we've got to have a smorgasbord of opfions got to have a smorgasbord of options on the table. and this is just one of them. >> and this plan isn't. take fewer flights, don't fly. everyone stay at home. this is continue to fly technology will replace. we always say the solution will be technology. this is technology replacing it. and they say, well, the fuel is more expensive. but by the time

everyone's using it, it'll be cheapen everyone's using it, it'll be cheaper. yeah, ruin that story. i like ruining stories. that's this section done. up next, we will talk about woke agendas being queer and government grants. you know, for a

welcome back to headliners. to louis the sunday telegraph. engineering grants are going to diversity projects. no engineers should stick to their technical things that are not sex based. stuff like shafts, nuts , flange, stuff like shafts, nuts, flange, technical phrases that are absolutely fine. >> you can't beat your flange, steve. >> everybody you know, think of a flash. >> anyway, government bodies hand out millions and grants to diversity initiatives that push woke agendas. and this is a complaint that's made. basically, it says that it says that this this engineering and physical science research council, which is part of the government, i think, stop me if i'm wrong, has gave $1.7 million to, to, to somebody who would

think of ready to that was just that was they've given it to two people actually. >> they've given it for human rights, justice across the world. yeah. and they've given another 1.7, nearly 1.8 to, queen mary university of london, to better understand the political representation of men . political representation of men. i mean, that's £2.5 million to do something that you and i could have done in half an hour could have done in half an hour could have done in half an hour could have asked me £300. >> well, you know that old saying, which is $1 billion a yean saying, which is $1 billion a year, $1 billion, $1 million here, $1 million there. after a while, you're talking about real money. this is this is £1.7 million. that's a lot. that's two. that's 2 million. >> but you're doing the knee jerk reaction without looking at the details of the thing they're studying. this is the one project. yeah that's looking out for men. the idea of this research project is to say that elite men might also be disadvantaging the other men. it's not. the patriarchy is good for all blokes. let them have some money for this one. >> because pure peterson, isn't it? it's pure peterson. it's pure jordan peterson. jordan peterson you're absolutely right. this study for political representation of men is not about oh, there's too many men. it's there's too many types of men doing something or too many

types of humans doing it, whether it's men or women , whether it's men or women, overly privileged people who have got the advantage of opfions have got the advantage of options available to them. and that does not flow down the demographic scale . you know, demographic scale. you know, there are people in much poorer environments that could probably represent all of us a lot better, but they're never going to get that option . and i'm all to get that option. and i'm all for it. you know, it's the trouble with this . it all gets trouble with this. it all gets bundled up, the baby gets chucked out, chucked out with the bathwater because it's all bundled under diversity initiatives. so we all look at it. we all get a little bit tired of it. we've chucked in diversity. we've chucked in woke and gone. oh, god. not again, at the end of the day, there are some good things that can be looked at. and i don't think i think even the reddest of gammon supporters out there would would appreciate that as well. there are things that we could look at. >> no, no, they don't want the money spent. they don't want their tax dollars spent. you can't speak for these people when you say, i can speak for them. >> we should spend £1.7 million on something. >> whatever, whatever it is, they don't want the money spent. they want the money given back to the people. 1.7 million is a couple of dollars in everybody.

everybody's pocket isn't it? >> well, i don't want any dollars, but actually, no, wait a second. >> no it's not. no, it's whatever it is, it adds up a pound here, a pound there. >> after after we talk about real money. >> talk about real money. i didn't make up that thing. >> but no, no you didn't. >> but no, no you didn't. >> but no, no you didn't. >> but it's true. it is true that, you know, we do a lot of money goes on quangos. >> yeah. just this is the one research project that is effectively hashtag. not all men and they put some money in that direction. yeah. paul, the sunday telegraph , the definition sunday telegraph, the definition of queer is changing. it now means heterosexual . but you means heterosexual. but you still would like to work for the bbc. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha >> stephen. stephen, you've been here a little too long, mate. number of charities using queer in their name surges , nine newly in their name surges, nine newly registered charities use queer as part of their title or in descriptions of their work, according to the documentation of the charity commission websites. the newly registered charities include queer tango in london, which i don't think has anything to do with the orange drink, which believes that heterosexuals can be queer, and the word gay is now problematic

because language moves on. i mean, i know it was queer as folk comes to mind straight away, of course, but essentially queer has now been away for bonng queer has now been away for boring straight people to find a way into this. >> oh, is that that it has no absolutely has. >> right. so we've seen them all. i've seen them all on the comedy circuit. i'm not going to name names, but we've seen people on the comedy circuit that they all like. they're missing out and they can they can get involved in it if they call themselves queer. oh no. i accidentally brushed past my boyfriend at school . it made me boyfriend at school. it made me slightly aroused. no, please get me a new job. >> no, you're totally wrong. what it has. it's very simple. back in the day, when i was a kid, queer meant a bit odd. that's a queer way of looking at something. it just meant a bit odd.so something. it just meant a bit odd. so it's going back to the way it used to be. you should. why are you complaining about this? >> because i'm queer. >> because i'm queer. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, that's not queer. that's because you're never happy. >> i think you got this wrong way round. >> you're never happy. >> you're never happy. >> i've noticed how to make you happy. >> i've noticed that i become happier and happier. i'm on tv. i like being here. but the. the point is, is that it's like. let

these people be queer. be queer. >> lewis schaffer said it here first. let the people be queer. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you got the schaffer permission. yeah. off you, off you trot . which is probably one you trot. which is probably one another one of the dances they do there that, that, that group is it literally is dancing isn't it. but their, their whole issue is it's not necessarily always the men that lead. thank god there is some brave people out there. yeah. who are willing to to, change the world. i don't understand dance. >> i was thinking about myself . >> i was thinking about myself. >> i was thinking about myself. >> no. >> no. >> lewis will think more about you. i'm sure , and we'll go to you. i'm sure, and we'll go to the observer. there aren't many working class people working in the arts. it's like billy elliot was made up. >> yeah , well, i never saw that >> yeah, well, i never saw that play >> yeah, well, i never saw that play or film. fewer than 1 in 10 arts workers in the uk have working class roots, which is surprising, but only 23% of the uk workforce are working have working class roots. so you think that it's not like 50? you would think 50% are working class roots and only one of ten have jobs? no, it's like only 23. i don't even know what. who knows what a working class? who wants to admit to being working

class? me. but no you don't. >> i am. >> i am. >> you don't. you're not working class. what does that mean? >> he's met my dad. he knows all. yeah. >> oh, your dad is working class. yeah, but, but this is basically says that, one, only 1 in 10 arts workers come from working class backgrounds . but working class backgrounds. but the truth is, is that if you like, if you come from a rich background, you can't automatically get your kid a job anymore. you can't get your son anymore. you can't get your son a job, so you might as well get him a job. working in the arts and wasting time like lewis schaffer , there is an element of schaffer, there is an element of that 60% surprises me. >> i thought it might be higher because the arts are full of middle class white people who have a level of disdain for white working class people. it's i've been involved in the arts for just over ten years now, and ihave for just over ten years now, and i have seen it. there is a sort of sneering that goes on and there is a bit of you say that perhaps it's not an advantage to be a lot of these people are in jobs, and there's a bit of nepotism, right? so if, you know, we're all successful tv people, if we wanted to get our,

funniest thing. yeah, yeah, let's imagine that we wanted to get our families involved. we probably could. you have to be there to help get people involved. you know, i heart. so why should we kill ourselves? >> to help people who are working class people without decent. >> well, perhaps there are working class people that would like to be involved in the arts, or they don't even know they'd like to be involved in the arts. they they just don't see it as an option. i have no idea. >> so what are you going to do? >> so what are you going to do? >> you're going to tell them you can get involved and take away my kids jobs or or make them lose their own jobs. >> so people who get an arts degree end up working for nandos anyway. so it's just another way to work for a restaurant, isn't it? but the idea for a working class kid? yeah, that he or she can get involved in the arts is a it's minuscule. you see a lot of schools throughout the country. drama is just a tiny, tiny bit of the curriculum. you need to go to a school that's probably fee paying in order to. >> why don't you just call this for what it is? why don't you. why don't you call them on this? this thing? it's that. it's that 1 in 10 are working in arts workers . whatever. who cares?

workers. whatever. who cares? they're trying to make us feel bad . bad. >> this is what the other research grants needed to point out. the posh people are stopping working class people getting in their jobs because of course they are like you say they want. they want it to be selective . they don't want to be selective. they don't want to be hanging around with the likes of us. no, that's why we're all here. >> but it should be representative, shouldn't it? we should see art that's representative of everybody. it shouldn't just be posh people or people of a certain colour or religion. it should be everybody. and there are lots of working class stories to tell. have you not seen kez? >> yeah . oh, what a great bird >> yeah. oh, what a great bird that was. >> exactly. yeah. >> exactly. yeah. >> paul, the observer girls are better at most things in education than boys apart from maths. but don't worry, they found a way to blame sexism . found a way to blame sexism. >> well, they certainly have, and that's because it's in the observer slash guardian during the week. parents overestimate sons math skills. more than daughters, study finds, so the findings are presented in a lecture at university college london this week found that parents tend to be overconfident about their children's academic performance in reading and maths, regardless of gender. but

in maths, parents overestimate the boys skills to a significant , greater, significantly greater extent that word significant is bogusin extent that word significant is bogus in this story. it completely is. there isn't much significance. the test scores showed a slight gender difference, with girls achieving the equivalent of an extra 1.7% on reading and boys an extra 0.6 on reading and boys an extra 0.6 on maths. for me, the crux of this story is the guardian at their old shenanigans. again trying to crowbar a narrative in the story really is about parents overestimating their kids abilities. and why wouldn't they ? why wouldn't they? who's they? why wouldn't they? who's going to do it if the parents dont? going to do it if the parents don't? don't make this about boys versus girls. let's celebrate it. that perhaps boys minds weren't differently, and they are slightly better at something because boys get a rough end of the deal a lot of the time. there are a lot of young boys out there who are constantly told they're not as good as the girls, because the guardian and the observer seven days a week, tell them so. no, because we let women go to school with really helped me .

school with really helped me. moved about 1812 mate and a bad times . times. >> do not love the bit of this story where they've also analysed and realised that high overconfidence of parents leads to better educational outcomes. >> oh no. >> oh no. >> and they found a way to stop you having that. no more overconfidence about your son, all right? you've just got to make them do worse at maths. >> it's really interesting. and you and i were discussing this, behind the scenes, and it it does it. >> are you cheating by talking to steve? >> i'm allowed to catch it. we're allowed a two minute chat, steve allows me into his lair. he's stroking a cat. there's all sorts of leather and stuff, but we. we did have a chat about this, and it is infuriating. it really is infuriating . really is infuriating. >> yeah, louise, we go to the sunday telegraph. here's a story that's really confusing. if, like me, you keep forgetting that we have a new queen now. >> yes, yes we do. >> it's a new queen. and anne robinson. who? she's the woman from worcester. what's that thing called , anne robinson. thing called, anne robinson. >> she's from weakest link. weakest link ? weakest link? >> weakest link. >> weakest link. >> she's 79 years old. she's confirms that she's in a

relationship with andrew parker bowles, who is the queen's ex husband? husband? husband? he's 84 years old. >> this queen being camilla. >> this queen being camilla. >> camilla? yeah. camilla i don't i mean, you could call it the queen. she's she's. if she wants to be called a queen, call the queen. i mean there's a lot crazier things that people call each other. >> not everyone accepts it, but i mean, it's like. >> it's like having. so what? so what can't some people can have a relationship with whoever they want to have a relationship with. what is the big news? what? just because she divorced him , which i assume she did, she him, which i assume she did, she divorced him that he's. >> there is no news here, is there? the thing that's amazing about this, the telegraph think people would be interested. and i guess there will be some people that are interested. it's celebrity gossip, isn't it? i mean, what was quite interesting, he said, frankly , interesting, he said, frankly, it beats any storyline the crown could possibly come up with. no it doesn't. not in any way, shape or form. i haven't even watched the crown, but even if it was based on facts and some of it isn't , charles and diana of it isn't, charles and diana alone is a much bigger story than an wossaa face and the

queen's ex—husband getting together . together. >> i think because the news, the news to the story is that she's 79 years old and she's hanging out with an 84 year old who knows what those people are doing . doing. >> who the bags. >> who the bags. >> i think of my watch many episodes of the chase. let's be honest about it. that's what they do that on probably the weakest link. they do that on probably the weakest link . what am i saying? weakest link. what am i saying? of course you know the answers. that's another section done in the final one. how to avoid driving scams and eye tattoos. good for you. have a guess. but

welcome back to headliners. paul welcome back to headliners. paul. the sunday times. you can make a lot of money out of car crashes. is what people comment underneath twitter clips of louis on this show. but anyway , louis on this show. but anyway, tell us about the story. >> beautiful stuff. the scammers making a living out of crashing into cars. so this is all about crash for cash. and if our viewers and listeners aren't too sure what that is, these scams are where some wally will throw themselves in the general

direction of a car bonnet. you know, the car could. i think we've got a clip , actually, we've got a clip, actually, we've got a clip, actually, we've got a clip, actually, we've got to see that in a second. but what do we hey, this is live tv, but maybe we haven't got it just yet. but paul, you're not the host. >> i'm sorry, man, i'm trying to officially do it. let's take a look at that clip . what the hell? >> what the hell are you , idiot? >> what the hell are you, idiot? oh my god, oh my god i oh my god, oh my god! >> what the hell are you doing? on my god , i mish rahman together. >> oh my god , you're mad. i know >> oh my god, you're mad. i know absolutely nothing. i've got a camera. do you understand? your video ? you complete idiot! i'm video? you complete idiot! i'm gonna shut up ! oh my god, you're gonna shut up! oh my god, you're mad ! mad! >> so all of that is to try and get £250 from you've been framed. >> well, or maybe a lot more from some poor insurance company

i >> -- >> give. it looked like he was being beaten up by the invisible man. it was. it was crazy easy, wasn't it? >> but if she didn't have a dash cam. yeah. you know, there is a probability that it'll go in his favour and it's abominable, isn't it? like the snowman. >> that story has made me realise it. either a get a dash cam or b pretend i've got a dash cam or b pretend i've got a dash cam if every happy he doesn't. yeah. does he know he does. got a dash cam and he's off on his. >> i mean this story is absolutely ridiculous because that little video that you show comes from 2017. so it's seven years old. that little video. so what is this doing in the newspaper . newspaper. >> number one you can do dates now. >> and yeah all of a sudden it does demonstrate what we were talking about though, which is why we showed it. >> yeah. well that's of course that's the kind of thing that would happen . would happen. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> louis, we'll move on to the observer getting your eyes tattooed might be wait for it. not good for your eyes. >> that's called. yeah, it is. eye tattooing experts. this is in the observer eye tattooing experts warn against the risk of colour changing surgery. which you're right, steve, it's ridiculous. why? you would want to change the colour of your

eyes. stay away from your eyes. kettle it up. it's called tele okarito pigmentation. >> we're never going to get to the end of this show. >> if that's the word. it's. >> if that's the word. it's. >> let me just let me give you the scientific reasons for not doing it. >> please do. louis. >> please do. louis. >> it's stupid. you're going to regret it. i don't know what's going to happen, but it's not going to happen, but it's not going to happen, but it's not going to be good, so please don't do it. and it's also a bit. it's. it's sort of anti—racist. why would you why would what colours would you add to it. red. well orange maybe. >> maybe people with brown hazel eyes. maybe they want to be blue i don't know, i mean but it's the white that you get tattooed. >> is it. yeah. >> you just get like i love mum. it's really small love and hate written in there. >> yeah. it's got to be really close to see. >> obviously this is mental, and if you've had it done, you are mad. good night. yeah. unless it's, it's been done on a lot of people from some other place where we don't care. yeah. this is a cultural thing. and i've totally messed up the rest of my career. we've already done that tonight. >> don't you worry, paul. the sunday telegraph, someone copyright ed some cockney rhyming slang. what a load of pony. >> oops . >> oops. >> oops. >> what a lovely bit of work

there. dishoom is a in in legal battle over rhyming slang for curry. so the restaurant chain seeks to strip london businessmen of monopoly on the right of name of ruby murray. i didn't realise it. so tariq aziz, successfully registered ruby murray as a food and drinks trademark. this was back in 2019, and the following year the company set up the murray ruby limited and described as companies, companies house as takeaway food shops and mobile stands. now, what's really interesting here is dishoom and i've never eaten a dishoom, believe it or not, but they've got a whole section in their menu for curries and they call it ruby murray's. and what they're not trying to do is own they're not trying to do is own the phrase, they're just trying to put relinquish it somewhat from mr aziz so that they can use it freely. but isn't it cultural appropriation? you know, the people of london, the cockneys of london, rhyming slang, this is our thing. what? you just can't just take it away. you can't own words, can

you? >> apparently you? >> a pparently y ou you? >> apparently you can. you can own words, trademark ones. but you surely can't own a commonly used phrase like that . do you used phrase like that. do you even know what a ruby murray is? >> i don't know what it is. i like the name. my father's name was was murray and my father was a trademark irish singer, wasn't he? so my father knows all about this thing, but he's dead. >> well, and i'm sorry to hear that somehow solves that. >> what a way to break it to us. the show's nearly over. let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages. the mail on sunday cuts leave uk with just one plane for paris. d—day jump just one plane for paris. d—day jump the sunday times tainted blood is worst scandal of my lifetime. it's time for justice for house hunt. the observer archbishop of canterbury urges starmer to ditch cruel two child benefit cap. the sunday telegraph says labour will tell nhs staff to work weekends. the sunday express companies told end this woke madness and finally the daily star. three lions versus frogs and those were your front pages. that's all we've got time for. thank you to my guests, paul cox and lewis schaffer. nick dixon will be here tomorrow at 11 pm. with leo kirsten josh howie. if you're watching at five, stay

tuned for breakfast till the next one. have a good one. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler is sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello! welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office into sunday. we'll see showers easing , but it's going showers easing, but it's going to be a murky start before plenty of warm sunshine . so high plenty of warm sunshine. so high pressure situated out towards the west , low pressure further the west, low pressure further towards the east and in between. not too much going on, a lot of light winds around. so the showers that we've seen today across wales and parts of the south—west will generally fade, especially across scotland as well. but elsewhere plenty of dry weather, clear spells. but we will see low cloud returning for parts of scotland and the south—east of england, but otherwise temperatures holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees in the towns and cities . so to the towns and cities. so to start on sunday, it's going to be a murky start for some of us with low cloud, mist and fog,

especially for parts of the south—east of england and east anglia. further towards the west, though, plenty of bright skies to start the day , and that skies to start the day, and that transferring across parts of wales and the north of england , wales and the north of england, but across scotland especially further east, you go a lot of cloud to start the day, with low cloud to start the day, with low cloud lingering across those coastal regions and further towards the north. cloud thickening thick enough for some patchy rain and drizzle . so patchy rain and drizzle. so throughout the rest of sunday any low cloud, mist and fog should generally lift and break away to leave plenty of sunshine on offer for most of us, it will stay rather cloudy across parts of scotland , and here we could of scotland, and here we could see a few showers and especially across that northeastern coast. once again feeling cool here with low cloud but in the sunshine, temperatures recovering nicely up to 24, possibly 25 degrees. monday is a similar picture to start with. we'll see plenty of low cloud, mist and fog around, but once again that should break away, leaving plenty of sunshine a dry

day on offer for most of us. we'll see some showers developing, but as we go into tuesday and wednesday, turning more unsettled with showers or perhaps even some longer spells of rain , a brighter outlook with of rain, a brighter outlook with boxt solar sperm , chances of boxt solar sperm, chances of weather on

the hostage release
