11:05 pm
at friday's front pages . the at friday's front pages. the daily mail goes with tories to cut green levies on fuel bills. the guardian says sunak begins election campaign by abandoning flagship policies at the times. energy bills tumble in first big election battle. the express pm's plan to take down starmer in tv debates. the metro , in tv debates. the metro, rishi's bumpy takeoff and finally the daily star got to be careful about saying this one general ejection i think i got it right. those are your front pages. all right. take a look at the front page of the express. louis, where they got, good news. prime minister's plan to take down starmer in tv debates . take down starmer in tv debates. rishi throws down gauntlet to spineless keir starmer. he wants to have a debate every week, which is, like, ridiculous because they have a debate every week. it's called prime minister's questions. they face each other. is that this guy? this is the problem with keir starmer, with the rishi sunak, because he thinks he's in
11:06 pm
america and they're having an election and an american type, and he's the president. and he was you know, he knows that joe biden wasn't very good with the debate situation. so he's saying, look at me, i'm having debates. but it's you know, they normally say, though, that if you think you're going to win , you think you're going to win, you think you're going to win, you don't want a debate. i mean, david cameron set out loads because he thought he, you know, he's got enough going because you can only lose if you're in a winning position. you have a debate. that's when you make an error. is it rishi trying to prove he said that keir starmer is neutral in every subject. >> that's important and he has no plan. i'm going to show that by having debates with him, although they've both been accused of that . i think sunak accused of that. i think sunak is just plotting himself to move to the us. he's talked about america so much in the last six months. yeah, he's keeping himself skinny. he looks great in a tiny lapelled suit and i felt, well, i, i love i love the way he looks. i love his hairy wrists. but i felt bad for him dunng wrists. but i felt bad for him during the announcement yesterday when he was all wet. yeah. where was his interpreter? where was the deaf interpreter? where was the deaf interpreter? where was the deaf interpreter? where was his umbrella holder? they have just given up on him. he is the lowest rung of the toilet ladder. seriously. i
11:07 pm
mean, i thought that number 10 had. they should have a weather app. couldn't they have checked in a couple of hours? it would get better. and then the, you know, the labor party in the background screaming, yelling through his it was just it was all so bad. >> the guy who was playing things can only get better. there was a news story . he said, there was a news story. he said, i didn't do that to help labour. we just getting prs checks sent to brian cox then i'm not sure. i'm not sure how much you had to license that, but that was a lot of outlets. >> it was it was just bad for rishi. and i think that he's just he's given up too. i think he's already in the us in his mind. >> well, why is he in the us? because the guy cares about money. his wife's a billionaire. where would you want to live if you have money? i mean, this country is a good country if you have money. >> but i mean, farage wants to be in the us as well. i think they they see that as a definite success story. if they can make it there. >> more on that story later. i say, but also , i mean, when it say, but also, i mean, when it comes to the idea of how rained on he got, some people say, you know, it's a brave move. he didn't know what he manned up. you know, i don't need an umbrella. >> it was hard to watch. so by
11:08 pm
now his trousers might have dned now his trousers might have dried and shrunk even more. but still, they didn't have a special needs interpreter, which they always have. >> or was that person, i think i've never signed professionally, but it's hard to hold an umbrella and do international signing. i think he's asking. i think scott's asking for two people. i think i think i know not like they're listening, but my friend, my friend says to me that there's a certain group of people in this country who like to see a guy all drenched in wet like that. it shows that he's committed to. he's committed in america. you would think the guy's a loser. yeah. >> it's just like yeah. >> it'sjust like bad planning yeah. >> it's just like bad planning , >> it's just like bad planning, that's all it looked like to me. >> yeah. you have to ask, what do you think, steve? do you think it's. do you think the people of this country like a guy who's all drenched and wet? well, i mean, famously being gunged on some noel edmonds thing that seems to play well. so it's almost the same, isn't it? >> i think later he sat in the corner naked while his suit dry, turning a light on and off and crying to himself. >> seriously, you gotta have a hobby, aren't you? moving on to the guardian, scott? what have they got? >> well, they've got the same old shtick, apparently. sunak begins election campaign by abandoning flagship policies.
11:09 pm
he's given up on rwanda and given up on the banning smoking for young people. both those policies were thinks he's very important to have very close to his heart. and they're gone. i think that people are too confused by rwanda. it was too weird. i think the average voting public was like, they're going where? for what purpose? and then people had heard, even in the sun how much it would cost a huge amount of money per person, and that only one person would be flown per week or something. the plans seemed obscure and it seemed opaque, and it seemed unfair to a lot of people. although rwanda is not necessarily a bad place, but have you been to rwanda? no, but they are fighting a civil. they are fighting a war with the congo next door. and i think a lot of people are worried that that violence were kind of leaked into rwanda that could put in danger the people being sent there. the whole thing just seemed like a miasma. and i think sunak hadn't solved it. and i think really, the expenses will worry people the most. and if you're talking about bringing taxes down and then you're spending all this money, i think sunak just giving up on all his, you know, heartfelt policies . i
11:10 pm
you know, heartfelt policies. i think his advisers just said, get out while you still can before they burn you at the stake because things are going so badly. >> one policy that is being pushed through, as we just heard in the news, is the giving money to the victims of the horizon scandal, because could you imagine if the one thing that happened was rishi sunak? after all, we've been through with itv1's drama, if he was like, oh yeah, sorry, we're pausing that or it would have kicked off. yeah, yeah, yeah. what is the honzon? yeah, yeah, yeah. what is the horizon? horizon is the post subpost. oh, then those people, not the blood. >> that's next. blood's next. no, it's just the. >> but the blood also sounds a bit ridiculous to me. the truth is, is the guy the guy ? he is, is the guy the guy? he doesn't seem like there's a big problem in this thing, which you haven't mentioned, which is there's a war over immigration in this country. this is the number one issue that's going through a lot of people, especially people in his own party. that's all half of the people. that's the only thing that they care about. and he has he hasn't addressed it. >> it's an endless war that no pm has solved in the last 20 years. well no, no, they're not solved that. >> they caused it. tony blair was the cause of it. and i think this guy is also the cause of it. it's a team where as i we've
11:11 pm
never worked together. we haven't no no no i've skipped it every time. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i'm moving on to the times to say that i'm going to say in my tweet that, you know, if he if he turns up, but but can i just ask the question. go on then is thatis ask the question. go on then is that is that, i forgot what the question is. it happens at your age. let's just. should we not ask the question then? by the sounds of it, i'll ask the question which is which is which is there a conservative party thatis is there a conservative party that is against immigration because they used to be against them? well, we've got immigration as a topic later on in one of the stories, you know, keep your powder dry, keep some powder. >> it's funny you bring that up because someone from a local pub in my neighbourhood, a lot of people locally in bethnal green watched the show, watched this network, and they stopped me on my way home. the other night because they were having a drink and they said, you know, who would you vote for? for pm if the, you know, if it's tomorrow, this is right before he announced that it's the july 4th date. and, you know, i didn't have an answer. >> but you can't vote, can you vote, i could , but i probably won't. >> yeah. fake id you can have.
11:12 pm
what do you mean, you could ? what do you mean, you could? >> it's a long story i won't go into right now. it involves payoffs. >> we're going to move on to the next one, which is the times. >> it's a struggle, though, isn't it? >> you're one of those complicated people. people don't know about this guy. i don't know about this guy. i don't know about this guy. i don't know about him. >> i've a lot of names, a lot of lives. >> we've known each other over 25.the >> we've known each other over 25. the love of all that. >> we really know each other, know each other to the times we're getting along the best that we've gotten along in tonight's. i'm ignoring most of what you're saying. that's the reason. >> well, that's the key to getting along. you think. you think you're doing some ignoring. he's ignoring me so much, i'm going to check that i've not died. there's a chance i'm patrick swayze right now. no, because i'm just so shocked to be working with the guy. anyway, this is in the times, which is the times hard times blame for abortions at record high. and this is an abortion. can you believe it? we grew up with abortion in america. it became legal in america like 1972. >> i barely survived my mother's. >> yes. and can i make can i try to be funny a little bit? you go for it. that's what i was worried about. you're always like, jumping in. jumping in with you, with all those jokes. yeah, jokes make people laugh. anyway. it's up seven. steve. i'll talk to you. i'm not going
11:13 pm
to pay attention to this guy. it's up 17% to 250,000 per year, which is the highest it's been in in, since 1971. that's over 50 years. people are killing their children. but it's all part it's all part of team world. and we hate children time. that's what the article says, that you've also got to factor in things like the cost of living crisis, how expensive things are, and also the fact that it's due to nhs problems that it's due to nhs problems that some people can't get contraceptives . they're contraceptives. they're everywhere. yeah. i mean, you could also maybe not do what you're doing, but you've got to do what the truth is, if you look at the people, because i'm of that age, the people, all those great rock stars who lived in the 1960s, they were all born in the 1960s, they were all born in 1980. in 19, excuse me, 1942, 1943. they were all born in really bad times. and imagine if we had if there was abortion. i'm i'm not saying i'm against abortion. >> do you think they're aborting the future rock stars of the uk? is that what you're saying? the music's over because people are having sex. you sound crazier and crazier. >> i was i was saying that. i'm
11:14 pm
not saying. i'm not saying that. well, you don't know who you're killing. >> yeah, i know you could be killing. share the feature. share. all right. that's terrible. terrible idea. or we could just all dress up as cher. >> gypsys, tramps and thieves. >> gypsys, tramps and thieves. >> hear from the people in the town of cornwall . town of cornwall. >> see if the daily star makes us make any more sense. which it won't. what have they got on the front page? >> oh, god. glasses, please. hello day bookings are up 57% as people are trying to escape . people are trying to escape. really? the election campaign of july 4th. so they're all leaving the country trying to get away from it all? >> we don't know that. do we know that? >> well, that's what it says in the star. >> it says it in the star. but who knows what it is. it's going to be july, july 4th. it's going to be july, july 4th. it's going to be july, july 4th. it's going to be warm. of course. holiday bookings go up huge amounts every single month in the in this time, i don't know. they never give you any information in the daily star though. i love the daily star. they never give you enough information to think and maybe upset your day in the day. >> well, we know women are going elsewhere for abortions. they're having those at home, so it must be another reason, right? >> yeah, maybe they're looking
11:15 pm
for new guys. yeah, it could be. well, that's the end of part one. but in a surprise move, part two follows next when we'll talk about the election, the election and maybe a little bit about the election
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
11:18 pm
welcome back to headliners. i'm stephen allen, here with two men, both known for their fondness of meat, louis schaefer and scott capurro. and we are hosting a night with the headliners live. and you can join us for an evening of comedy with andrew doyle, leo kearse, simon evans and josh howie will be none of us, none of us, none of the ones on this. apparently b team will be there. for more information, scan the qr code on the screen or visit gb news. com right louis to the daily mail nigel farage is leaving gb news. everyone's asking the big important question can i have his parking space? yeah, can i have a can i have a car, anyway, this is nigel farage is shelving
11:19 pm
his gb news show to campaign for reform, which is the political party that he. i don't think he did. he set it up with, with, richard tice says it in that article. it says it in that article. it says it in that article. so sorry. there was a way to read it. i don't know, this was this one i skipped because he said, no, it's all good news for louis schaefer because he's he's not. >> louis lubricated the transition . transition. >> he's he was i had nothing to do with it. but now i'm the number two guy here in the station. i'm, i'm this is the louis schaefer. this is the channel that louis schaefer is on. and, he's he's he's not in this basically , tice his guy this basically, tice his guy called this election the immigration election. right. and that's what it is. because what's going to happen is after the tories lose, this is my prediction. you can bet on it if you want to. if it's legal after the tories lose the second party, the reform party, which will hopefully have more votes than the tories will, will form the new conservative party. what
11:20 pm
do you say about that when he says, shelving? >> does he mean he's taking a pause? as i say in showbiz, in the us, or does that mean his show here is over @gbnews? well i don't know, but i know from my media career, every time there's been a pause of me doing a show, i've never been allowed back to it. >> yeah. so yeah, yeah, that's the way things go. well, with me, it's always goes with your fired. that's. yeah. well at least they tell you. >> yeah. we are easily replaced. but when he says that about immigration this mr rice is that his name? tice. tice whatever. when he says that, it makes me think. i guess brexit was then all about immigration, wasn't it? and they don't feel brexit was fixed because they're still letting them in. so we've got to run again to keep them out. the reason farage isn't hitting the party is because farage said a few months ago that if i did choose to run that reform, numbers would double. and in the recent polls, reform numbers have doubled without him at the helm. so he realises actually the actually, i think what he realises and what they realise they don't need him and there's a thing about him saying he wants to go and get involved in
11:21 pm
the trump campaign and if you've got to pick one of those two things, be part of the trump campaign or part of the reform campaign, you're more likely to be on the winning team because of the first past the post system. >> you could easily be on the winning team in america, and that's going to look better on a cv. well, yeah. go ahead. >> no, go ahead. >> no, go ahead. >> but it also may also if he chooses to be involved in this thing, there's a really good chance, like you say he's not going to win. the reform is not going to win. the reform is not going to win. so he's going to come out as a loser this way. he's unsullied. he's lost enough campaigns as it is. >> but what if reform wins 10, wins enough seats, that they had a bit of influence in the parliament that would make him bigger here, that would actually make him someone who who had political influence instead of just being a commentator. whereas in the you had ten seats, but he's not going to get any of those seats right. >> because you have to win each each you have to win a place. and based on this, he's not going to get any seats if he gets 20% or 30% of the votes in, he's not going to get it. >> but in the us, i don't think i think all that's really about just getting himself on tv there. i don't know really why
11:22 pm
he gives up a tv spot here to go to the us to try to get a tv spot there. it seems a bit too unpredictable for me. >> well, lewis, onto the daily mail. labour will make us a magnet for migrants, says the man who oversaw record numbers of migration. tell us more. yes, this is good news. i've got my cup here and i want you to find me on twitter. lewis schaffer on twitter i feel like you're not respecting my. you don't do this when simon evans is hosting. no, because i can never look into his eyes. i can't see what he's thinking because his eyes are all miss, you're much nicer. no, i'm just so nervous. do the story or i will come round there. because scott is scott and i have a thing anyway. and we'd have a thing. >> we don't have a thing at all. >> we don't have a thing at all. >> we don't have a thing. but i have a thing. you've got a thing anyway. we've never met. >> you've got more than one thing. i think there's a lot of things. >> we got a thing. yeah. labour will make britain a magnet for every illegal migrant in europe. if it wins the next election, rishi sunak has warned. which is what the guy, which is what rishi sunak has done. he's basically there's been a million, two new immigrants in the country. it's a relatively small country, the 60 million, 65 million people. so when you
11:23 pm
let 1,000,002 every single year into the country, this is the this is why this election for the for the people who might be watching this show, possibly. i don't know if you weren't even allowed to have a show for people who might watch our show. it has to be for everybody, but it's what you don't make any. >> i feel like you're speaking in circles. i do when he says that, it feels a bit like when. when he says that this is a election about, you know, a magnet for every illegal. he's trying to pick up the reform vote. i think, again, they were panicking that farage would run. now they've got that good news for them in a way. and so he says this trying to kind of brighten the mood of the conservative party, who want him to crawl into a box and go away. they have made it very clear again, i feel bad for him because he's he's done everything they've asked him to do, and still it's not enough. >> that's not true. that's not true. they haven't has they? who is they? the tories are completely divided. there's two groups of tories. >> his advisory party have been
11:24 pm
consulting him to move forward in some of these subjects, that he's obviously turned his back on in the last 24 hours. so they realised i think as again , as realised i think as again, as close to his heart as he held those that he couldn't find any support within his own consultancy. i think again he's done what he was asked to do, support the support that . and support the support that. and now they're saying, oh, forget about those. it makes him look terrible . oh, i think migrants terrible. oh, i think migrants are sort of the last ditch effort. you know, for him to actually move the needle because evenin actually move the needle because even in the news, we saw the clip where rishi sunak says keir starmer has got absolutely no plan at all. >> and then the clip of keir starmer saying we've got the border force thing, the great british six pouring, boiling in. and he said it's an issue that absolutely has to be stopped. so i think they could just argue this forever, pretending the other guy's not got a plan. also, starmer doesn't want to put forward any of his real, i think points of interest until they're closer to the election, he's worried that they'll be pulled apart by the media, but also he doesn't want to be told no until the election is over. he doesn't want to do it at all. he doesn't want to do it at all. he just wants to get elected. and when he and once he gets
11:25 pm
elected, he'll do what he wants. he wants to do. scott, the sun jeremy corbyn is getting ready to win the argument, but not the election again, right? >> the 74 year old socialist who's never thought he was wrong because no one's ever said he was, will battle head to head with his old party in a desperate bid to keep his leafy north london seat , corbyn lost north london seat, corbyn lost his whip in 2020 because playing down institutional anti—semitism and now he's running in a pro—palestinian platform calling for a ceasefire, trying to garner those votes from people that won't vote for starmer over what's happening in the middle east. so i you know, i never really was quite clear on all the points of interest around his anti—semitism claims. and then i read some more about it today. and in this article. and i just all i today. and in this article. and ijust all i can say is, today. and in this article. and i just all i can say is, wow, really ? he did that. wow. he really? he did that. wow. he said that. yeah. so i can understand why the jewish community is nervous and why they might not want to vote for, or any thinking person might not want to vote for corbyn anymore . want to vote for corbyn anymore. also, i have seen him speak live
11:26 pm
and on tv. it's not very inspiring , and on tv. it's not very inspiring, it's and on tv. it's not very inspiring , it's just and on tv. it's not very inspiring, it's just not the discourse. >> well, i mean , you say that >> well, i mean, you say that maybe there's an age demographic thing because i remember the 2019 election when he went to glastonbury and all the kids were shouting, oh, jeremy corbyn! but then again, it's the same kids who are now are also really getting into the anti—semitism. so maybe we should have seen it coming. yeah, yeah, they've forgotten about it. the truth is, he says, i'm not anti—semitic. and then who, who who is behind him as he announces his candidacy? all of the pro gaza. let's drive the jews into the sea or the river, whichever . whichever jews into the sea or the river, whichever. whichever one's closer. yeah. or deeper or deeper or colder. not even drive them in. just kill them. kill, kill, kill us when we're there. so, i mean, i like the idea that the guy actually believes in something, but that's that's no place . a belief can be good. but place. a belief can be good. but not all beliefs are good. not all be good, especially not in politics. >> i think it's interesting that he waited until his anti—semitism, you know, became fashionable . yeah. fashionable. yeah. >> that's going to help him flares. you wait long enough, it
11:27 pm

11:33 pm
transphobic. is that it? they did because all i said, all i said was this whole cis crappy terms are all made up and they're all homophobic. and someone piped in and suddenly i'm a transphobe and that's it. it's over. my career is over. i've been labelled, i've been cancelled. >> i'm done. you're more than qualified to sit in that seat. exactly. so at least you had jokes. what? >> that's one. in transgender university applicants have been in the care system , apparently, in the care system, apparently, compared with just 1 in 20 of their peers . apparently their peers. apparently transgender applicants are more likely to self—harmed . they're likely to self—harmed. they're more likely to, have been have gone to private school than non—trans applicants. they are more likely nearly half to declare disability, and more than a fifth declare a mental health condition. who are applying for university . so this applying for university. so this study was done by someone who's, josh freeman and ross stevenson, they are the report's authors , they are the report's authors, and they they called for universities to support trans students more and their own
11:34 pm
challenges. and, parents of all vulnerable teenagers are concerned that universities continue to promote an ideological rather than evidence led approach to trans identity. >> i suppose in some ways, we've been talking for months on shows like this saying, oh, there's an indoctrination in universities. they've been captured . turns out they've been captured. turns out it's before then we were wrong lying to you, i know. yeah, i missed the run. although it only says applicants. i mean, i want to find out. give it a few months and we'll find out who got in. i mean, it is unbelievable. it says half the people, half of the people who were applicants to the universities said they had a disability, compared to only 12% of the rest of the people which has the trans applicants. yeah, yeah, which is a huge amount of people. and you don't want to say it. it's a whole it's a horrible thing. you can make jokes about it all you want to, but it's there's a lot of i mean, maybe it's no big deal if people want to if people want to do what they're going to do, you should let them just do what they want to do. >> i don't care what people do as long as they, you know, don't
11:35 pm
have a go at you on social media and just label me a traitor at facebook. >> i can't let it go in my neighbourhood and up in nunhead just today, i saw a very large, large, very tall trans woman talking to a very small trans man. >> that's adorable. we are the world building bridges. the problem i have with what happened today and what i see sometimes i'm out and about is someone describing what, like a cis or a non cis gay male or something. yeah. and it's like, oh, this person online was saying well a non cis gay male is oh just something like is a woman who identifies as a man and has sex with men. so that's and has sex with men. so that's a non cis gay man. it's not that again slow that down. it's a woman who identified who was born female but identifies as male and then has sex with men . male and then has sex with men. that's a non cis gay man. that's a non—binary gay. that is not a gay man. a gay man is a man who has sex with men. i just man, i
11:36 pm
yes, what she described was a heterosexual female, but what it lends itself to is a comedy room full of people that might believe some of that stuff. so when i start cracking jokes about it, i'm seen as evil. when what i'm talking about is myself and my own community, which, if anything, i should be able to joke about my own personal experience. >> and when they are, if they're offended by your comedy, i'd just say to them, why? why are they offended by a non cis woman like yourself? which i think that works out and corrects itself back around to exactly what you get up to, right? >> i can play the dog if you want. i can do any gender, any type. >> louis. >> louis. >> the times and jersey has greenlit euthanasia for the things they will do to get on that. things to do before you die list. yes, this is unbelievable. this is new jersey and they want to be not new jersey. it's not new jersey, just jersey. just jersey, just jersey. yes. oh sorry, i wasn't i didn't read it properly. jersey approves assisted dying. that was a joke. oh trying to get us off of that subject . get us off of that subject. yeah. even though this is all

trans all the time, this states. anyway we're all in drag. >> all of us. >> all of us. >> jersey approves assisted dying for the terminally ill. and this is by a vote. believe it or not, jersey are those little islands. there's three of them. guernsey jersey and one other white. white of man. that one. no. isle of man? no, that's another one. it's not that. whatever it is, they took a vote and they said, if you're not, if you're going to die within six months, we'll kill you now. we'll save you if you're going to die within a year because you've got a neurodegenerative disease, we'll kill you. we'll kill you now it's a victory again for the death cult of this world. yeah. it's like, let's kill people. there's too many people. people bad . and it just people. people bad. and it just pays to kill them. and you have to be a resident of jersey or live there for at least a year. so the numbers we're talking about, they're not going to impact global population. still people. what is what is what do you say? just jump in the sea. >> it's freezing. you'll die in two minutes anyway, right? >> actually, it's the warmest part of britain. all right. yeah it is really? yeah. it is. it's
11:38 pm
right next to france. >> that's the freezing. >> that's the freezing. >> it is freezing numbingly cold. it's not numbingly cold. it's no less cold. >> but if you're dying, you're likely to be thin. and so the water will kill you faster, right? if you're a chubby dying, then you know, don't do the sea. >> he's. he's right. you're right. it's not just about jumping into the thing. you can kill yourself if you want to die. but even if. why do you have to be killed? you kill yourself and even if you don't want to be killed. >> i think the problem is. what if you do it wrong? you know, and then you're. and then you're handicapable and dying. >> i knew a guy. i knew a guy who jumped from the empire state building, and he lived to tell about it. how he told everyone in the 86th floor, everyone in the 85th floor, everyone in the 84th floor, everyone. old school jokes, ladies and gentlemen. thank you. they're all weak . thank you. they're all weak. >> enjoy the curly fries, scott. >> enjoy the curly fries, scott. >> the telegraph porn is causing unemployment in men, which is such a shame because they're online. they're just searching for the wrong kind of job, technology is fuelling very worrying. rise in mental health conditions. the article goes on to say, mel stride has blamed pornography and video games for a surge in worklessness among young men. apparently there's a
11:39 pm
surge in young men not working the work and pensions secretary said that, there were 900,000 young people aged between 16 and 24 who were, not in education or employment or training. and that's up by only really about 88,000 from the previous year, for boys, things like gaming, he says, is a prevalent factor. the problem is that that boys go to porn. these young age groups, they found because they're completely stressed out, because they're unemployed, because they have no work, because at home is a nightmare. they can't find anyone to go out with because they have no money. so they go to porn and they're gaming. it's the other way around. and this guy doesn't want to look at those issues about mental illness among young men, about stress of their dealing with, about family issues. instead, he blames two thriving industries . blames two thriving industries. let's blame people that are actually making money and creating jobs for these guys who are, you know, staying at home, watching their screen and looking for love. >> can it really be impact? can porn cause that much of a problem? it's what, like two minutes a day? no, i don't think it can. i think it can. i think i think you have to be kind of
11:40 pm
like, happy to go with porn. basically, if you, if you're totally miserable, even porn is not going to make you happy. you have to have at least a bit of hope until until the conclusion. >> although porn is about suspending disbelief, so you could probably pretend for a while, you hold your breath to close your eyes for about 3 or 4 minutes. you're happy and that's all it really takes. >> i don't think it's pretending. i think you're really in the moment and you feel like you're in the moment. >> when you're watching porn, you're in the moment. >> yes, in the moment. and the moment's gone. then you wake up and you think, holy, we got to play and you think, holy, we got to play a video game. the truth is, is that this guy is a bit late to the game. the elections coming up. nobody gives a damn about what mel stride has to say. he's gone. you know, why is this even post? >> i wonder how much porn he's watched to make this determination. >> yeah, technically. >> yeah, technically. >> probably quite a lot. right? >> probably quite a lot. right? >> i blame the lockdown. yeah. oh, louis, the telegraph, a man who gives to money labour wants them to put a tax on meat. of course he's against eating meat. he's a donor. doner kebab. oh, ho. 110. >> no. >> what have you written down? >> what have you written down? >> it hurts . see, this is the >> it hurts. see, this is the thing. this is why steve is very successful. more than more than
11:41 pm
i am. i don't know about you, but because he does, he prepares his . his. >> he prepares. he writes the show anyway. >> tax red meat to save the planet. labour. mega—donor urges. and this is this guy. he's. he is. his name is vince dale. vince and he was the. just stop. you probably don't know about this because you're flying all around the world. i'm stuck at a nunhead, a flat with a horrible. he's the. he's the just stop oil guy. but he had a he had he was like a billionaire. he had money from this eco thing. and so he's been giving money and he's saying i'm going to be nicer. i'm not going to do the just stop oil thing because it's just bothering too many people. so instead, i'm going to give money to 2.4 million and more to to the the labour party, hoping everything's going to be all right. and he thinks that if he thinks that red meat is the problem and you know what the problem and you know what the problem is, someone like this, we should we should be eating guys like this. >> is it more cow farts? is that the problem? that's what they say, don't they? >> yeah. and how intensive it is to grow it. i mean, if they taxed red meat, lewis, it would financially ruin you, wouldn't it, i'm ruined already. that's
11:42 pm
true. it would. it would ruin me, basically. actually, it isn't. it is. it is more expensive, but it isn't more expensive, but it isn't more expensive because all the food, all the money that i save by not wasting it on green plants and meat. and look at how honestly , meat. and look at how honestly, from a gay point of view. oh, god. >> are you talking to me now? >> are you talking to me now? >> yeah, i'm talking to you now because that's your million. >> you finally turned to me. when you say the gay thing. >> finally, i'm looking better and better looking over your back. >> the whole time. until you said the gay thing, right? that's homophobic. lewis that's not homophobic. >> it's homo like it. >> it's homo like it. >> we should grow our own animals because i've lived on farms. my husband's from a farm in brazil. when you kill that pig, in brazil. when you kill that pig, it's like cotton candy. if you kill animals fresh and eat them right away, it's delicious and much healthier. yeah, right. there's a little anxiety for the animal, but they're dead, so. oh, well . oh, well. >> and they always say having pets is useful to teach your kids about grief . yeah. i mean, kids about grief. yeah. i mean, i didn't realise you meant to go out and actually just kill the chicken. live in front of them, but they've got to learn. >> yeah. death day on the farm is a sad day. but then 29 days of eating is much happier, right? >> where did grandma go? do you
11:43 pm
remember your pig? >> well, wow. wow. grandma savages i now you've got some savages! now you've got some family issues. >> i feel bad for your future children, scott. >> the guardian germany may have found a way to just stop. just stop oil. >> yes, they have. by imprisoning all those people, protesting, calling them gangsters. the germans had this law in place called paragraph, paragraph 129 of the german criminal code is meant to combat organised crime. they also thought any cults in germany are illegal, which is why they couldn't show john travolta films for a very long time , films for a very long time, until clinton called them, dunng until clinton called them, during his presidency and asked him to show his films because he's part of scientology. yeah, tom cruise couldn't show his films in germany either. so the germans are really touchy about the cult thing, you know, previous history stuff. so they're really nervous about organised gangs as well. and they're calling just off oil people. they name a few of them here who have been accused of being organised gangs, and they're trying to then outlaw . they're trying to then outlaw. they're not just not just put them in prison but outlaw their activity so that they when they come out of jail, they can't do
11:44 pm
it again. like makes them a proscribed terrorist group. >> but but you know what? i don't see why they shouldn't do that. because these people, like we have our people here, our just stop oil people, and they do the same thing every week over and over and over again. and we and we're not stopping them. >> but organised crime is violent crime usually. and this crime isn't. this is a non—violent crime. it's non—violent crime. it's non—violent protest. >> take out the word. usually this kind of crime that they're doing by blocking trains, by throwing painting on things is something that you have to. i mean, i'm not i don't know what should be done, but something should be done, but something should be. >> well, no one's died in the protests in germany so far. that's that's what they're saying. >> yeah. well that's it for part three. the final section boasts drugs, miracles and comedy. that's not funny enough. so no
11:45 pm
11:46 pm
11:47 pm
welcome back to the final section of headliners. lewis to the telegraph. and the bbc has achieved balance again , the bbc
11:48 pm
achieved balance again, the bbc says its sitcom needs to be more , quote, laugh out loud. this is it. yeah couple sitcoms. it's the word is in there. comedic comedy, situation comedy. it's american and it says, this guy john petrie, who's the bbc director of comedy, he's the director of comedy, he's the director of comedy, he's the director of comedy. he says that the bbc needs to put they haven't done it and nobody wants to listen to the bbc because there's so many other choices and they know exactly who owns the bbc. it's owned by the deep state and no one can laugh at it. this was at the bbc comedy festival. the bbc holds. >> we weren't invited to, by the way. >> no. another thing we're not ianed >> no. another thing we're not invited to. >> i know it's a theme here. >> i know it's a theme here. >> the longer i stay here, the less they're interested in me. and i think this is i mean, they just they want someone who's going to go back and i haven't gone back because i got the kit anyway. >> at least it's nice that someone in tv is saying, you know, a sitcom can be about funny. >> the thing is, you know, when i was pitching shows about ten years ago, the term sitcom was just verboten. you did not say it. it was really unfashionable . it. it was really unfashionable. they wanted, you know, they wanted ideas , but not
11:49 pm
wanted ideas, but not necessarily punchlines. and they also wanted i gave them an outline for a show that we were a pilot, and they said, too much is going on. we need to spread this over six episodes, a bit slow moving , this over six episodes, a bit slow moving, and i think now they want it fast, fast, fast. i think, it's basically graham linehan is who they need to call. and i think they, they owe him an apology anyway, so. right. kill two birds. i mean linehan was the best is the best. who's alive still and ready to work. we're quite familiar with him. >> yeah right. we've got about a minute on each story. let's see if we can rattle through these. scott, the telegraph in my day, the police would take your drugs off you. now they're taking their own, >> well, it's daily star, actually. and the uk cops are flying to peru to take mind bending, psychedelic ihra . i bending, psychedelic ihra. i know i'm mispronouncing that, but anyway, cops who are feeling the stress from work are being sent away because these drugs are not legal here in the uk. they're hitting a tipping point with the after 22 years, this one cop, paul, who was 41, he
11:50 pm
was hoping to find relief from his anxiety and suicidal thoughts and he took this vine concoction. it sounds a bit like, stuff we used to take when i was in high school. that would make us peyote, which would make us we would take and then we throw up, and then we'd hallucinate and think all our problems were solved. we were 17. we didn't have problems. but these guys, you take the drugs over three night period and this one officer said the second night was terrible, but the third was better. and he feels as though he's a bit more balanced as he's going home. like maybe he could face, actually face the stress he was not looking at before. and they are using a lot of hallucinogens in psychiatric care in the us . a in psychiatric care in the us. a few friends of mine, not because they know me, but i am the common trucks between all of it. but anyway, they have told me that they are taking psychedelic drugs in groups so they can be observed, they can be watched, and it allows them to open up and it allows them to open up and to again to look at what's going on in their life. instead of ignoring or running away from it. yeah. >> and then they can commit suicide and then they can kill themselves when they're, when
11:51 pm
they're done. >> suicide was not mentioned in the star. it wasn't mentioned. >> but it will be mentioned the fact that they're sending police to another country to do things that they can't do in this country, i think is wrong. >> but people do that on vacation all the time. >> they go abroad. but you don't send the police there. what are they going to send them to cambodia to do illegal things in cambodia? >> why cambodia? why pick on the cambodians? what do they know? >> because they're doing a different kind of thing. i meant it as a as a joke. i'm not saying they should be sent. they're going to them out. >> helps. yeah louis, the times, you know, you're getting old and even the saints are younger than. well, yeah. >> this is a i forgot about the catholic church because we've been so worried about the muslims. but london bored teenager to become the first millennial saint are you worried about the muslims? >> are we? >> are we? >> yes we are. >> i know the largest mosque in the uk and i'm fine with it. >> you're fine with it because they haven't come to you yet. they're worried about the jews. wait till you know it's because they slip off their shoes. >> it's so thoughtful on their knees five times a day. >> yeah, exactly. when you get caught looking at. don't don't do, don't make a mistake. >> i go in to buy things. >> i go in to buy things. >> so make a mistake. but pope

francis, who's like the catholic, who's the catholic church guy, he has canonised this guy named carlo acutis. he was a 15 year old catholic boy who died of leukaemia in 2006 and born in london. he's british. this is why it maybe it made the times, but this was in the times. but what did he do? he basically set up a website documenting miracles around the world. two people in two different countries saw this, and they they looked at it and they said, oh, i've looked at this website and i survived my egregious illness and that's why this guy deserves to become a saint. if you believe in this , saint. if you believe in this, go to it. >> you know, i have someone i'm very close to that had suffered some terrible loss. yeah and his family are religious and i am not. but i have honoured their own beliefs. i really admire how it helps them, i do. i'm speaking sincerely. right. i don't often put a joke at the end of that. >> well, i won't if you want to spot a miracle. if you can get

11:54 pm
the met office. southern areas will stay mostly dry as we go through the end of the week, but it's a wetter story further north because the same area of low pressure that has brought all the rain we've had through the last day or so is lingering across the uk. so we can expect further outbreaks of rain as we go through the end of today. overnight and into friday. some of the rain will be a little bit on the heavy side, but it is a definitely easing further south. it's going to stay largely dry overnight and there will be some clear skies under which it could turn a bit fresh, a bit chilly perhaps for some of us to start first thing tomorrow morning. but on the whole, once the sunshine gets going, temperatures should rise quite quickly. if we take a look at what's going to happen first thing tomorrow morning. and yes, it's a bit of a cloudy, damp start across many northern parts, particularly across a big chunk of scotland cloud and outbreaks of rain. none of it looks particularly heavy but could cause some further issues for areas affected by the heavy rain we've seen recently. perhaps some brightness across western parts of scotland. but across northern ireland, much of england and wales are fairly cloudy and a little bit damp.
11:55 pm
start the best chance of any sunshine first thing tomorrow morning will be across southern parts and to be honest, here's where we're likely to see the best of the sunshine as we go through tomorrow. as a result of the sunshine, though, we could see a few showers popping up, but it is generally going to be dner but it is generally going to be drier towards southern parts, a little bit cloudier and a bit wetter further north. some outbreaks of rain perhaps the odd heavy shower here, but not as wet as it has been recently. the temperatures will be near normal for the time of year, feeling warm in any sunshine. in fact, across northern parts it will feel markedly less fresh than it has done recently. as we go into saturday. perhaps a bit of a chilly start for some of us, but it does look like the driest, sunniest day of the long weekend . a few showery outbreaks weekend. a few showery outbreaks developing, particularly towards eastern parts. but on sunday we are expecting some more wet weather to push its way in. some of that could be pretty heavy at times and more showers perhaps on monday. >> two looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on
