5:02 am
starting with the telegraph poll. >> yes. and the national service story rolls on and rolls on. young royals face national service in sunak plan. so the conservative party have been told by the telegraph, i've told the telegraph, should i say that this is including royal children, as they're expected to take part two when they're just five years old? yes, they've got to start immediately. there's no i mean, obviously they're supposed to start at 18, but if you're royal, then you just have to do it straight away. don't you expect the country the royals did this anyway? >> i mean, prince harry, you know, prince charles everybody. prince andrew of course served . prince andrew of course served. did he serve in the falklands? >> i believe so, yeah. >> i believe so, yeah. >> yes . he's >> i believe so, yeah. >> yes. he's seen as a hero. yes. in this country, so it's not surprising or new, is it? >> but we're also talking about, national health service and other things. this is what labour party have called a gimmick, probably correctly and i think almost certainly correctly, but and, you know, it's the last time we had national service was, was 1947, which was actually brought in by the labour party. yeah. so it's quite interesting now, a few years too late for the war. yeah it was after after the fact, i
5:03 am
imagine that they're wanting to this headline here is really because sunak knows this is going to be unpopular, and he's saying the royals are going to do it as well, you know, and of course, we're all going to be rushing to hospital to have nurse royal princess take our pee bottle from us or or whatever. so it does kind of work, but it's, you know, i, i remember when work experience happened back in the 80s and suddenly there was loads of 18 year olds in the way in, in every business, everywhere, you know. oh, your job is opening know. oh, yourjob is opening a drawer and closing it. just keep out my way. and that was what it was. so. >> but i think i'm not cynical as kerry. i think national service would be a great idea. i think it would have done me a world of good as a feckless youth. >> we all think that about you. yes. we've had we've had many discussions about what could have helped you. >> i mean, i agree to some extent the idea of bringing young people together in one sort of cohesive thing to do. sure, i think that isn't glastonbury. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> or that works. or recreational drugs . yeah, then recreational drugs. yeah, then i think i think it is a good
5:04 am
thing, but i just don't see it being fulfilled under this particular policy . i don't being fulfilled under this particular policy. i don't think it'll be enough. i think it will appeal to certain tory voters for sure. it may even appeal to some labour voters, but they'll already be voting for reform. >> so certainly through the red wall and so on. but it's but it's also how they're going to pay it's also how they're going to pay for it is through, cracking down on tax avoidance and evasion. and the problem with this is that we hear these things. you've been in government for 14 years. if you could crack down on tax avoidance and evasion. and really, why haven't you done for it? done that. and also, you know, there's loads of questions here on paying for it, on what kind of punishment they'll for be refusal to take part, what exemptions there'll be, how the training exercise will work for all this. and i'm not sure . i all this. and i'm not sure. i think if it is a good idea, i'm not sure it's a really good idea to bring out during a snap election where we have no time to get a proper discussion going, although it's quite a good time to bring it out when we could be going to war with russia. >> yes, baltic countries, and i think poland as well are saying they'll send troops into ukraine if russia , russia advances any
5:05 am
if russia, russia advances any further. >> to be fair, i'd want the poush >> to be fair, i'd want the polish young people to be defending us rather than our young people. i mean, there's also a story in the guardian about this where they're saying no one's going to go to jail for avoiding it. so at the end of the day, you know, teenagers, they need sort of they need to know that there's going to be consequences for not doing mandatory things. and this this isn't going to help, is it? oh, it's mandatory. but if you don't do it, don't worry about it. >> well, expect sunak to say we'll find other ways to get them. yeah well next up we've got the times. >> kerry. what have they got on the cover? well have they got on the cover? well have they got on the cover. >> well do you know what i'm going to tell you that because you asked me and i'm a good bloke, this is labour saying we will act fast to win trust on security , and they're planning security, and they're planning what they call a sprint, which is, running normally, but here it means something else, i don't know, and it's quite interesting , really, that labour's a lot of what labour's talking about now is security and migration, which is security and migration, which is they've really moved on to that ground to try and bring in all the floating voters, guess. >> well, they have to don't they
5:06 am
bnng >> well, they have to don't they bring them. i mean, corbyn was offering like free ice cream and wi—fi and stuff that, that really didn't cut the mustard, did it? i wish i'd voted for him. yeah, well, i definitely voted for it. i was up for the ice cream. that was for sure. i mean, they said they're going to act fast. they can do it in 100 day plan. i mean, if i was them, i'd go straight to the security services that already know this information and ask them directly. don't spend 100 days trying to figure it out . trying to figure it out. >> well, paul, isn't that the thing? i mean, we've already got it's not like we don't already have a security apparatus in mi5, mi6 , in this have a security apparatus in m15, m16 , in this country. we've m15, m16, in this country. we've already got people who are on top of this, probably more on top of this, probably more on top of this, probably more on top of it than rachel reeves, to be honest, i would say so, yes, this is to identify the threats, which, as you've already said, we know russia, iran, china, students. >> can you imagine, can you imagine if they surprised by some of the you mean, i mean the chinese ? i thought they liked chinese? i thought they liked us. us. >> us. >> yeah, well they're great. >> yeah, well they're great. >> i mean, jeremy corbyn would probably be surprised to learn that he was supposed to see the soviet union as an enemy as opposed to a good place for a honeymoon. anyway, next up, we've got the, we've got the financial times. >> yeah, we have, unusually for
5:07 am
us, trump would be worse for the markets than biden argues bond king. gross, which is not a villain by the way, what could be? it depends on which side of the fence you sit on. a donald trump victory in the us presidential election would be more bearish, which is not a term i'm not familiar with and disruptive for the bond markets than re—election for joe disruptive for the bond markets than re—election forjoe biden, to according bill gross, a long time fixed income investor. he's new to me. i don't know about you guys. i think i heard you guys talking about bill gross. he knows more than the short time short investors . he time short investors. he certainly does. i mean, leo was pointing out to me before this , pointing out to me before this, before the show that trump is an isolationist. so therefore he's much more about american jobs for american people. and and the sovereignty of that. and the bond markets don't rely on that. the bond markets rely on a lot of international trade. so he's probably right. and what we did see when what you might see and what we probably did see in 2016, from what i can remember, is there is a shock to the markets when they don't quite see the person they expect to be
5:08 am
in power, in power, but they bounce back very quickly . and bounce back very quickly. and the economy under trump was very strong. >> yeah, but the issue now as well is going to be that, you know, if america becomes more isolationist and, you know, trump is going to put, i think 100% tariffs on chinese electric vehicles. so i mean we're talking big tariffs and europe doesn't do that and britain doesn't do that and britain doesn't do that and britain doesn't do that. then all of that stuff is just going to get offloaded in britain and completely decimate our home—grown manufacturing base or what's left of it. >> and unless he forces that, of course, with our policy would have to change if he did that, i would have thought and he's also promising to, keep his 2017 tax cuts, tax cuts permanent , in cuts, tax cuts permanent, in a move, the committee for responsible budget, the think tank, expects to cost 4 trillion over the next decade. >> so yeah. yeah. >> so yeah. yeah. >> well, yeah, i mean, we all know why we're giggling, but we'll move on. >> i think it's the word trillion that got me brilliant. >> i said it badly. >> i said it badly. >> i said it badly. >> i think let's just finish off.
5:09 am
>> keep a straight face. move on. >> let's just it's a sunday. >> let's just it's a sunday. >> no one's no one's watching . >> no one's no one's watching. >> no one's no one's watching. >> oh my god. we'll do a micro edit . edit. >> jupiter. well, let's just quickly look at the star. what have they got on the front cover? kerry? >> oh, i don't think i don't think i should talk, actually, 12 hours of rain, and they're saying it's going to be a soggy bottom at monday. the bank is basically there's going to be a lot of rain on bank holiday. and this is a headline in britain. yeah. this is like, oh no, there's going to be rain. but it's been so nice . yes. very it's been so nice. yes. very nice. and i don't know why it's soggy bottom britain i assuming everyone's going to sit in it. oh there's a puddle. there's that. what we do . that. what we do. >> it's going to be the worst for 200 years. which. wow is another made up fact. >> yeah i can guarantee system for this. >> and they always give it as a sort of as proof that, you know, the climate is changing . it's the climate is changing. it's the climate is changing. it's the wettest bank holiday monday for 200 years. number one, they probably didn't have banks 200 years ago. so they have a bank houday years ago. so they have a bank holiday monday. they didn't have banks to go on holiday. and
5:10 am
number two, if it is the climate changing because of man made whatevers like what were they? did they have too many , too many did they have too many, too many cars and too many hamburgers 200 years ago? >> no , i think we're really >> no, i think we're really sells it though, is that there's with the story , there's a with the story, there's a picture of a dog in a raincoat. well, i've got no idea what really pulls the heartstrings, doesn't it ? doesn't it? >> i mean, i feel sorry for the poor thing. it's quite cute, isn't it? anyway, we probably should go to a break or something, is it? >> yeah. let's go. let's do it. don't worry. i'm doing that bit. >> that's the front pages over. >> that's the front pages over. >> we stay with it for part two under the covers with ricky's missing candidates and nigel farage accused of islamophobia. seen a couple of
5:14 am
welcome back to headliners and we're hosting a night with the headliners live. it's not this show live. it's actual stand up comedy. we're all stand up comedians . so you can join us comedians. so you can join us for an evening of stand up comedy with andrew doyle, simon evans, josh howie and me. for more information , scan this qr more information, scan this qr code on your screen right now. if you're listening on the radio, don't try to scan your radio. you can visit gbnews.com. when you've parked up and turned the car off, but kicking off this section with the telegraph and keir starmer once britain to have a norway style sovereign wealth fund, has he discovered some oil that nobody else knows about? >> well, he may need to, because that's the only way to do it. from what i understand now, labour grapples with plans for british wealth fund without the wealth. so this is rachel reeves , and she's vowed to set up a british sovereign wealth fund if
5:15 am
labour wins power, using it to create good jobs , not bad ones, create good jobs, not bad ones, and spread productivity in every part of the country. i mean, what a load of weasel words. yeah there is just one rather large problem. where will the money come from? now, until i read this story, i didn't really understand a lot about what global, global wealth funds were. but essentially they are for countries that have got a lot of maybe oil, for instance , lot of maybe oil, for instance, and they're obviously making a great deal of money and they reinvest that money in case that oil runs out. surprisingly, there are about 175 of these funds around the world, which totals about $12 trillion, or just £95 trillion, norway surprisingly has the biggest wealth fund with 1.4 trillion, and that was north sea oil, which they've invested over the years. but britain has no such thing and has been in a deficit since 2001. so reeves is seeking to get around this by making up the bulk of the wealth in national wealth fund, private
5:16 am
rather than national. so she's going to go out to private investors, which is a bit antilabour to some degree. >> yeah. what she's suggesting seems to be so the government is going to take a stake in private enterprise, which sounds like communism to me. it sounds like the opposite of creating wealth. it sounds like it's going to destroy wealth. i mean, javier milei has shown the way to generate wealth. if you don't, you know, if your country doesn't happen to be sitting on a whole bunch of oil, a lot of the argentinian oil is actually ours, right? right. okay. but if you don't have the natural resources, you can generate it through through by the government not being involved in the private sector and just letting the private sector do its thing that he does. >> and, yeah. and the labour are going to be grappling with this. so i think i'm grappling to understand what the hell it is and why they're doing it. and of course, the as you pointed out, the where will the money come from? and that's going to be the catch phrase for every single policy that's put out over the next few weeks, because we're keep being told that there isn't any money. so yes , if it's going any money. so yes, if it's going to happen, it has to come from
5:17 am
the private sector. but then, yeah, as has already been said, this is, if , yeah, as has already been said, this is, if, if, if yeah, as has already been said, this is, if , if, if private this is, if, if, if private companies are going to invest in this, then why haven't they done it already ? exactly. that was it already? exactly. that was the choice that was there. so, i don't know what this is. really. >> surely people advising labour should just tell them to wheesht be quiet. yeah, they can win this general election by not saying anything. it's stuff like this that makes people think. hang on a minute. yeah, these are grown people saying these things. >> you're supposed to be pretending you're not communist. >> yeah , there's a lot about >> yeah, there's a lot about this that wouldn't make a great deal of sense . it's all like deal of sense. it's all like knitting clouds. and at the end, you never really end up with anything. but. >> have you knitted a cloud, are you? >> try, mate, it's difficult . >> try, mate, it's difficult. >> try, mate, it's difficult. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> oh, i've only got to level one. >> i'll show you. >> i'll show you. >> yeah, yeah, you do it. >> yeah, yeah, you do it. >> we've got the telegraph now. and with the election coming up soon, rishi is urgently looking for some rats to come aboard his sinking ship and he has lost a few , 78 tories have so far few, 78 tories have so far announced that they will leave parliament. >> that, of course, includes michael gove and the tories have beat their own record, three,
5:18 am
back in 1997, when 75 stood down. so that leaves them with, needing 158, to find , you know, needing 158, to find, you know, who would like to stand and lose is basically the way it's looking . looking. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> prospect. anyone enjoy humiliation is, it's going to be lots of fun. and i think what they're going to be looking at is national conscription. and to find some people who will do it, some politicians pay quite a lot of money for humiliation in some soho pubs. >> scary. >> scary. >> but yeah. so i've been told, it's interesting this, isn't it, but a cleverly did say because he's the chairman of the party, you know, this sort of thing does happen regularly and they wait till the last minute and so they should anyone advising people are taking on new candidates should take their time. you've only got to look at the workers party under galloway or even the green party. now they've got candidates winning seats which have absolutely nothing to do with the core beliefs or values of that particular party. not saying that where the workers party is concerned, more for the green party with what we've seen over palestine and israel. however,
5:19 am
with the workers party, with a candidate for the green party standing, who, who are just standing, who, who are just standing on the issue of gaza and have nothing really to do with the environment. no sandals, no woolly jumpers, nothing. >> yeah. they've always got one standing in, in islington north, which is quite interesting. standing against corbyn, which of course, many deserters went to the green party and now find themselves standing against corbyn. so that could be interesting to see. yeah. >> okay. well we've got the sun now with labour talking tough over border control. could labour be the tory party? we never had, pal. >> well they're all the same as we well know. yvette cooper to launch new border squad within 100 days. they're still going with 100 day plan of within 100 days of office. as she warns smugglers. we're coming for you, she will bring into foot. she will bring the full force of government and law crashing down on the criminal boat gangs, and take back control of our borders. first things first, i'm sure border force and some of the police services, on the borders would say they've been trying very hard to do this for some time, however , tory, this
5:20 am
some time, however, tory, this is very different to the tory strategy. tory strategy is absolutely no amnesty. no, no . absolutely no amnesty. no, no. no asylum for, boat immigrants. so if you come here on a boat, we don't want you here. we're going to send you to rwanda. right? dealing with the problem. okay? now that's been thwarted . okay? now that's been thwarted. >> and that's the idea. yes. what they've actually done is none of that, however. >> absolutely. that aside, what labour's plan is, they can all come. they can all claim for asylum. they're going to go after the people smuggling gangs. now, we all know they're people smuggling gangs are bad, but we're not going to get rid of crime. people have tried that for ten zillion years. >> yeah, the war on crime. >> yeah, the war on crime. >> yes. what what what we might be able to do is make it less appealing to come here. and that's what labour aren't doing. and it goes back to me. i think labour will make it less appealing to come here. maybe. yeah, but not not for the people. they don't care for these things, do they? i mean, we have a country now which has got a full open southern border
5:21 am
and everybody's welcome. and you can come here however you like and there's no real deterrent. >> and we'll put you in a hotel and, you know, look after you. >> and that sort of stuff used to be the tropes of right wing groups, maybe in the 80s or when we or maybe back as far as the 50s and 60s, when we first saw immigration after the after the war. but what we do see now is exactly that taking place. and it's, it's having a huge impact on the communities and the social fabric of the uk. >> yeah. and also, i mean, as much as yvette cooper and the labour party sneer at rishi sunak rwanda plan and say it's a con and a gimmick. kerry europe 19 european countries are now copying the rwanda plan, so i think 14 it says, well, i don't know. >> that's austria says 14 eu countries want to adopt a random plan. is what they say. austria says like the country speaks like someone . i'll just ring like someone. i'll just ring austria and see what they have to say about this. hello this is. so yeah, this is, something that she said in, what we're told is her first sit down
5:22 am
newspaper interview since the snap elections. she said, stand up, stand up ones. yeah, they didn't go anywhere, though, and they weren't as funny as she thought she was going to be, so she's now going. i'll just sit down like the old ways, so , she down like the old ways, so, she said that britain already handed over £300 million to rwanda and counting and she said you could literally send thousands of people on a trip into space for that. and then she paused and went, ha ha i and then went, ha ha! and then immediately came up with the next plan. yeah, we're going to turn them into moon grunts. moon grunts. yep >> like a cbd moon grating . >> like a cbd moon grating. >> like a cbd moon grating. >> don't say i look forward to that happening, but metro now, nigel farage has been accused of islamophobia, although, interestingly, nobody's accused him of being incorrect. >> kerry, i have to say he's not been accused of islamophobia . been accused of islamophobia. he's been worse than that. he's been accused of pure islamophobia on sky news, which is, yeah, the pure type, undiluted islamophobia, which is, oh my god, that's terrible, and he said that we have a
5:23 am
growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to british values. in fact, loathe much of what we stand for. and then trevor said, are you referring to muslims? and mr farage said , we are, and mr farage said, we are, because you know why you say thatis because you know why you say that is because he was. yeah and, and then he quoted a, i trying to find what the name of it was. it was a survey done where i think 46% of muslims support hamas. i think it was actually the survey. it was, oh , actually the survey. it was, oh, the henry jackson society survey, which actually said that a quarter of muslims believe that hamas, committed rape and murder. and so three quarters didn't i don't think this is just a amongst the muslim community. it's also a great anti—western white thing going on as well. that seems to exacerbate this, and race theory and, you know, and of course, university campuses is , you university campuses is, you know, upholding and, you know, helping this. >> yes , yes. i mean, i mean, if >> yes, yes. i mean, i mean, if you look at this interview was with trevor phillips, who was asking , you know, really pushing
5:24 am
asking, you know, really pushing back against what farage was saying. but interestingly , if saying. but interestingly, if you go back a couple of years, trevor phillips said the exact same things in a really. yeah. bbc radio four today programme, trevor phillips said on specific issues, family, sexuality, genden issues, family, sexuality, gender, attitudes towards jews and questions of violence and terrorism, the centre of gravity of british muslim opinion is some distance away from the centre of gravity of everyone else's opinion in britain. so, you know, he less various poll results of 1 in 6 muslims said they would like to live more separately, a quarter would like to live under sharia law. and it's i mean, it's not a it's not a secret that, you know, there are radically different attitudes in the, in the muslim world to, to britain . world to, to britain. >> quelle surprise. that was french, by the way, trevor phillips and a lot of these commentators having duplicitous views on things. now, he would argue that he's a journalist asking questions , but nigel asking questions, but nigel would argue that he was, someone standing up for questions, answering questions. and that's all he did in this. he didn't he
5:25 am
didn't, solicit, some advice about or or just, you know, rant about or or just, you know, rant about , about or or just, you know, rant about, muslims in this country and, as you said, right at the top , unfortunately. and this is top, unfortunately. and this is where we find ourselves in political discourse now , if you political discourse now, if you say something that's ostensibly true, demonstrably true, and backed up by statistics , if it backed up by statistics, if it is in any way anti—anything, it can be seen as bad. how do you progress from that point ? progress from that point? >> you're seeing people i think are just stating facts and the results of surveys being shouted down as racist or islamophobic , down as racist or islamophobic, which means that those words are now losing all meaning . now losing all meaning. >> yes, we're also losing, any definition of what is hating a people and what is hating a religion or an ideology. and so on. because, you know, for a long time it's been very acceptable to criticise religion in this country. and we do it in comedy an awful lot . but, there comedy an awful lot. but, there can't be it doesn't really fit our culture to say there's a religion we can't make fun of. i'm sure a lot of muslims are fine with us making up people, making fun of it, but there does
5:26 am
seem to be an extremist thing that says, no, you can't go there. and you know, i don't think that helps either. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, it was the truth to fetishise. i think the biggest problem here was some truth being said on sky news, and it came at a quite the shock. >> okay. i think it was also nigel farage saying it was. >> yeah, of course i think i'm going to react to it anyway. >> so you're not liked? well, i think the blurb is trying to bnng think the blurb is trying to bring down farage and trying to bnng bring down farage and trying to bring down farage and trying to bring down reform at the moment, so they'll sling anything . so they'll sling anything. >> of course they will. this, you know, the spurious accusations of islamophobia . accusations of islamophobia. anyway, we're at the half way point now, but join us in the second half for the police investigation into the snp . just investigation into the snp. just stop oil alienating ed miliband and the side effects of transitioning your gender.
5:30 am
5:31 am
police investigation coincides with election season. kyrees yes. >> not looking good for the snp at all. crown office could detonate political grenade with nicola sturgeon probe, that political grenade has already gone off, isn't it? and just continues to explode. so this story is angus mcneil, who was expelled from the snp last year, but he's now , intervening with but he's now, intervening with the crown office over because he's concerned . or rather, he he's concerned. or rather, he feels he can do that because he was expelled. right so he's not representing the party as such. and he is concerned that this investigation with nicola sturgeon and with her husband, peter murrell, and with, the other bloke and this is all, you know, the other bloke, colin beattie, this is over £600,000. >> that was, that was donated to the snp to campaign for a second referendum. there was never a referendum. there was never a referendum , but where's the money? >> totally. that's what's happening. and what angus mcneil is worried about is that this might affect the snp during the election, which, the answer to
5:32 am
thatis election, which, the answer to that is yes. it will. yeah. look at that. >> it is disappearing across the horizon. >> poll are we going to see a resurgence of or looking to see a resurgence of labour in in in scotland? >> i think news for keir isn't it. >> he's probably. well that's why he was . why he was. >> that's why on the first day of the election campaign he was in scotland. yeah. and anyone who doesn't believe that nicola sturgeon isn't corrupt and self—serving at this point, and the snp themselves, it's an ongoing investigation. >> so we can't. yeah we can't. >> yeah. but i'm just saying personally that's what i believe. and i think they would deserve an snp government if they voted for that, because there are a lot of very good people, scots that i know and related to, that would have backed the snp. five, four, three years ago, maybe that are now sort of woken up to the idea that they've been taken for a bit of a ride because they've only had one policy and that's, a separation from the uk that is also transgender , women in also transgender, women in prison that didn't work out too
5:33 am
well for them either, did it? >> you know, independence and a weird concoction of progressive gender ideology and, and communism. >> well, they just hung on. we've heard this before . they we've heard this before. they hung on to any far left woke ideology that was blowing in the wind that they thought would get the purple haired people excited. yeah. and they didn't realise that the purple haired people were just loud. yeah, they weren't lots of them. they were just really, really loud. >> that's a great point. you know , and the sort of people, know, and the sort of people, because they're activists, they get close to governments and then government thinks they like, paul says they represent the people , but they do not. and the people, but they do not. and i think a lot of governments are waking up to that. we've got the guardian now with ed miliband saying, just stop oil alienate people from its cause, a bit like ed miliband does. paul >> yes, just stop oil alienates people from its cause, as leo and ed miliband did say. labour shadow energy security secretary agrees climate change is an emergency, but massively questions the activist group's tactics. so i have a few issues
5:34 am
here. one is that, with labour coming into power, almost inevitably we are going to see an escalation of alarmism when it comes to climate change, and things like net zero will be ramped up to such a degree that we will have to sacrifice all sorts of things to prop it up and any government that does that across the world at the moment is failing is, you know, in front of our own eyes. and it's not just that it's failing, it's not just that it's failing, it's going to rob a whole generation, but is that actually going to happen? >> kiri ? because, i mean, keir >> kiri? because, i mean, keir has dropped his pledge to spend. i think it was £27 billion on on net zero, and he seems to be dialling that back . and so with dialling that back. and so with ed miliband saying this, i think they could actually crack down on on just stop oil because they're , you know, labour won't they're, you know, labour won't be damaged, they won't be seen as, you know, evil. right wing bigots cracking down on, on these poor, innocent jocasta's , these poor, innocent jocasta's, yeah, absolutely. he's what he's
5:35 am
saying is when you block a motorway of people who are trying to get to their relatives who are dying, that isn't helping. of course, i don't think there's a whole motorway of people trying to get to their relatives who are dying. i think he's overdoing it. a little bit there. there might have been 1 or 2, but, you know, there's always i don't know, i'm mixed feelings on this because young people do young people things and they throw paint over a painting and it's called a painting and it's called a painting like paint, you know, like, loves painting more paint and, and, stopping traffic and so on. and but what happens is then, then they get on the news, right? so it does work. they get it on the news. we end up discussing it. and then miliband says something like this and it turns that gets on the news as well. so we end up discussing it. so it turns out you don't actually need to throw paint over a painting. you can instead criticise it. and that gets on the news just as well. yeah. so let's talk about not doing it and getting on the news. but even then i always hesitate with this. yes, it gets people talking about it because it doesn't really because what we end up talking about is the throwing the paint over the painting or the traffic, rather than the actual cause in the first place, which then gets put aside. >> so usually it's an oil based paint anyway, so they haven't even, you know, achieved the oh
5:36 am
you'd like them to go further. do would you into the environment . a lot of people in environment. a lot of people in the, in the uk are on board with the, in the uk are on board with the idea that, yes, the climate is changing. yes. you know, it's being, being, contributed to by, you know, man made activities, you know, man made activities, you know, man made activities, you know , carbon emissions or you know, carbon emissions or whatever. but it's not necessarily an entirely bad thing. scotland is quite cold. we're made out of mountains. we can the sea levels rise, we can just walk a bit further up the mountain, start growing grapes instead of turnips, and also and also the solution to any of it probably isn't communism. and given these green haired activists more power, well, there's another solution that , there's another solution that, miliband says is we've got to follow the science. >> this is the catch phrase of our times, isn't it? everyone, whether it's whether it's trans covid, we've got to follow the science. it just sounds like we're stalking scientists . we're stalking scientists. >> i don't know really what the quickest way to stop just stop oil is. us three. start supporting them. if they know what. >> you're right. that would work, wouldn't it? >> they think we're on board. we are. guys come get us. yeah, we are. guys come get us. yeah, we are. we're we're orange. >> well, we've got the telegraph now, and china is planning to
5:37 am
use civilian ferries to invade the island nation of taiwan . i the island nation of taiwan. i hope the soldiers remember to bnng hope the soldiers remember to bring change for the arcade machines. >> carrie, this is talking about what's going to be inevitable at some point. is the chinese invasion of taiwan, we're told they're going to use, roll on passenger vessels, which sound like some kind of giant deodorant , like some kind of giant deodorant, and like some kind of giant deodorant , and they're like some kind of giant deodorant, and they're going to have an armada of these ferries. i don't know whether this is a definite thing, but i think they've already had exercised is. it was. yeah. this is the third set of exercises encircling the island in the past two years, so, i mean, it's amazing how much , you know, sign amazing how much, you know, sign china. they got hong kong, you know, the 100 year deal. when they got, they got hong kong, tibet, they still have no one's even talking about that anymore. and tibet , even talking about that anymore. and tibet, you even talking about that anymore. and tibet , you know, tibet is and tibet, you know, tibet is massive as well. it's like, you know , people go on about israel know, people go on about israel and how wrong it is, but uk is 11 times the size of israel, and tibet is 11 times the size of the uk. wow. and no one's even talking about anymore . i don't talking about anymore. i don't even know. i've got to be honest. i don't really understand what what do they want to do with, you know,
5:38 am
taiwan anyway? what are they going to do when they get there? they're going to take over the superconductors or want to make it communist, don't they? >> i mean, at the moment it's very well it's got them pay for it all. >> they've got to then run it. >> they've got to then run it. >> they're a renegade aren't they. it's like the isle of wight going rogue. >> yeah, well, i guess it's, it's the same, the same sort of drive that's driving putin. he's got this idea of an imperialist russia that's complete and has all these places that were in the soviet union . and xi jinping the soviet union. and xi jinping has the same idea with taiwan. you know , unified china, and you know, unified china, and i mean, the trouble with, with it is, xi jinping is 70 years old. so you know, he wants to do it soon because he won't be able to do it in ten years time because somebody will have deposed him, probably, and also china's demographics and economy are starting to slide down the other side of the hill. so if he doesn't do it now, he may never be able to do it. >> paul, i think it's inevitable. and i think there's a business opportunity here. we should buy a lot of taiwanese flags and sell them to people in islington, and they'll be made in china. >> plan, i think, because it's going to become part of that sort of left populist revolt against oppressor victim.
5:39 am
>> i can tell you right now, the leftists will be on the side of china because china's communist. >> they would be if they were true leftists. but they're not, are they? they're just purple haired , but because they're haired, but because they're they're also anti—imperialists , apparently. >> so how does that work? >> so how does that work? >> i still think they see taiwan. so taiwan has security deals and does a huge amount of trade with with the west and in particular america. yeah. so they see taiwan as you know, some sort of imperialist i think china attack on taiwan is a bigger risk to the world than gaza, palestine and ukraine. >> russia . yeah. because the >> russia. yeah. because the america have already said they're not going to allow that to happen. so if america goes to war with china. yeah. >> yeah. good. by northern hemisphere . hemisphere. >> good good good good. >> good good good good. >> the guardian now with allegations that the dating app ghndr allegations that the dating app grindr has misused user data pull . pull. >> yeah. grindr accused of treating gay men's medical data like a piece of meat. a gay man who claims some of the men on that app went to be treated. exactly. as far as i'm aware , exactly. as far as i'm aware, what they look, and it's what
5:40 am
they're looking for. i didn't know nick dixon told me something about it, but, a gay man who claims his hiv positive status was misused by the dating app status was misused by the dating app grindr has accused the tech platform of treating his personal medical data like a piece of meat. and the reason he says that is he's taken and he's taking a class action is that right? he he started getting inundated with commercials and adverts, for hiv treatment. right and no one else was aware of this. so once he once he he told grindr this information, he was then inundated. now i have no doubt this could be true . and no doubt this could be true. and if so, he has every right to take class action. but when you talk about targeted ads, you've only got to talk about feeling cold in a room. before you know it, you're getting adverts for socks and poor circulation. you know, unbelief , isn't it? you know, unbelief, isn't it? you know, unbelief, isn't it? you know, some of the things you we all will be now, thanks to you. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah. it seems like you're not on grindr. you're in. granddad >> grindr. granddad that's what
5:41 am
i'm into, i didn't did i say that out loud ? this isn't live, that out loud? this isn't live, is it. carrie. help me. i carry, carry, carry on, i love holes. >> deep digging. i've already been fined 6.5 million. >> that's got an e. i assume that's euros, by by the norwegian data protection authority, who's been fined ghndn >> ghndr ghndn >> grindr has. all right, so this complaint has come from someone who we're told must remain anonymous , for legal remain anonymous, for legal reasons. unless you buy his information from grindr, which they're quite happy to sell you , they're quite happy to sell you, you know, i think, you know, there is a concern over whether people will stop being honest on on apps and so on if all their information is given away. but on the other hand, i kind of feel like we're going that way. i i think in a few years all this is going to be redundant. we're going to have glasses that tell you absolutely every detail of everyone you're looking at. yeah. as you move your face around. >> so updating for us. >> so updating for us. >> well, totally . grindr of >> well, totally. grindr of course say that they haven't. ghndr course say that they haven't. grindr has never sold or shared user reported health information, including hiv status for advertising purposes
5:42 am
and is accurately, as is accurately suggested in the legal claim. so, you know, it's a claim that's going on. and really, this isn't news until we find out what what happens with the case. yeah. >> okay. well, we've got the telegraph now with another worrying example of trans surgery having unforeseen medical problems. i mean, who could have imagined that pumping people full of drugs and hormones and maiming them could be bad for them? kerry. >> yeah. what's happened is women who identify as men are now finding that their traitorous bodies are identifying as older women, which is very unfortunate . so as which is very unfortunate. so as a result of, cross . so this is a result of, cross. so this is awful, but cross—sex hormones leading to, pelvic floor dysfunction. and that's in 95, that can't be right. i'm just reading that here to change their identity from female to male, and found that 95% had developed. that is extraordinary , isn't it? >> basically all of them. >> basically all of them. >> that's a lot of wet floor going on. transmit gender. men are suffering from this post—menopausal problem , of post—menopausal problem, of course, you know, all these drugs are absolutely experimental. this has all been
5:43 am
such a fast craze. we don't know how it's all going to end up, but, how unfair is it for a man to avoid womanhood and then find he's got the worst side of womanhood? really rushing up on him? so. yeah. >> yeah, i mean, this is this a lot of people did warn that these , transition transitioning these, transition transitioning surgery and transitioning treatments with the puberty blockers and the hormones and the drugs and everything would have, negative side effects. paul have, negative side effects. paul. and a lot of people who said that were condemned as transphobic bigots. >> yeah. and, they should probably be apologised to you because this stuff is happening more and more and more. it's on the back of the cass report, which nobody really talks about except us. and the only time i ever hear it talked about, we do talk about it a lot, though . we talk about it a lot, though. we do talk about it a lot. >> a lot, yeah. >> a lot, yeah. >> which is a good point. yeah. follow me at paul cox cast report comedy .com, but, we need to talk about these things. we. absolutely. i'm sure there are people out there that find
5:44 am
themselves in a desperate situation that want to transition, that accept this as a by—product of what might happen. but there are plenty of people out there that don't, and they've been led down a path, and they're told that everything's going to be groovy and you can do exactly what you're going to. you want to do, and you'll be happy saving them. >> but the trans people are told that, you know, if you don't, transition, then, you know, you're going to be unhappy, you're going to be unhappy, you're going to be unhappy, you're going to be suicidal. >> there's also a lot of misleading information. doctors saying, you know, it's funny being a man, your pee yourself and they are and what's the expert here says, wetting herself is something that just is not socially acceptable. it stops people from exercising. it stops people from exercising. it stops them from having intimate relationships. it stops them from travelling. and it's lucky we have an expert to tell us that constantly peeing yourself is actually makes your life a bit difficult, so i'm glad there's at least one expert who's earning the money. follow the science . the science. >> well, that's it for this part, but join us in the final funny section where we've got lily allen moaning about baby reindeer, the tv show, not the actual reindeer means they're hate crimes and was william
5:49 am
welcome back to headliners we've got the telegraph now with lily allen talking about baby reindeer and showing that even when women aren't the victim, they can make themselves the victim. >> baby reindeer would not have been made if the victim was a woman, says lily allen, the singer who endured her own stalking ordeal, which is sorry to hear over several years, said people are often not remotely interested when women are harassed and pursued by men. despite these cases being arguably far more common now . arguably far more common now. now, i would say that's demonstrably untrue, not the final bit. we'll come to that in a minute, because 90% of netflix documentaries are real. true crime documentaries are about predatory men. if anything, the thing that makes this particular, show interesting is because it is a woman that is
5:50 am
being predatory towards a man. that's what makes it, and that's why it's landed so well, because she's questioned why it's landed so well. so it's unfair to say this. this wouldn't be covered if it was the other way around. it's covered all the time. it's less interesting because of that. >> and it's even in the paper right now because she's talking about it. >> yeah, it's covered a lot. i mean, we had about 1,000,000,000 hours of it during the hashtag metoo . and it's not that it's metoo. and it's not that it's not important, but it was covered. i mean, it was it was it was the big story everywhere. and the other thing she doesn't consider is maybe he just wrote a better script. no than she would. no, she well, maybe that's why he got on tv. it was a good script and i've not even seen it. but i saw his show and it was very good. so, i it's also that, you know, we do see things differently. there was a female comedian who said to me a while back, she said, and she asked me why? why is it that male comedians get groupies? and then female comedians get stalkers? and i was like, well, we sleep with ours. you know? that changes them into a groupie. that's all you got to do. >> we don't all sleep with them,
5:51 am
kerry. >> well, we do. i'm sorry. i was telling the truth . telling the truth. >> i'm not supposed to tell the truth. your advice to women is . truth. your advice to women is. >> yeah, just put it a bit a bit and it'll enjoy the. >> i'm not saying they should do what we do. find your own path. >> we've got the independent now with some left wing people angry that the hate crime laws they invented to punish right wing people are being used against them instead, pol, as is daffy duck coconuts and raccoons. >> when do memes, emojis and gifs become hate crimes? so it's a bit of reading because i didn't quite understand what they meant. i understand the term coconut and i should cover that now. so coconuts? are brown people that are described as brown on the outside and white on the inside. >> you didn't even know what racism was before this, did you? >> i just thought it was what we learned at school on council estates, but we. the thing about this is daffy duck is a tap dancing duck. this is daffy duck is a tap dancing duck . and, it's seen as dancing duck. and, it's seen as sort of pandering to the white person. yeah. and this is basically, i would never , never
5:52 am
basically, i would never, never that daffy duck could be a racist meme. no and people have been. so this is largely, bame people, people of colour that are getting called out by this because they're saying anybody who supports, or appeases white people is appealing to white supremacy , which of course is supremacy, which of course is a massive leap. it's not true at all. you could just enjoy the culture. >> i mean, kyrie, do you think do you think we're do you think we're being too touchy as a, as a nation about racism? if daffy duck can be seen as racist, i think we can be too touchy. >> but at the same time, we have a standard that if we're applying it in other ways, we should be. if we're saying that you can't say white people can be, well, we have we sorry. i'll correct that. we have for a long time, said white. people can be racist and people of colour are not racist. yeah. and what they're finding out now is they are as well. right. so if and there's been a lot of i don't know whether emojis are the right thing to do, but, during the of the protests, there's people making signs that that mean the red triangle of hamas and so on. and, and they're doing that at jewish protests and so on. so these people know
5:53 am
what they're doing. and the woman, for instance, with a coconut, she racism . coconut, she racism. >> well, i've got to move on because the show is nearly over . because the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at monday's front pages. the telegraph leads with young royals face national service in sunak plan. the i has labour plan to rebuild britain will rely on private finance. the financial times says trump would be worse for markets than biden argues bond king gross, gross bond king gross. sorry the guardian leads with sunak's national service plan is bonkers, says ex—military chief and the daily mirror has desperate. that's about the tories. and finally , the times tories. and finally, the times have labour. we will act fast to win trust and security, and those are your front pages and that's us. goodbye is that us? that's not us. >> that's all we're thankful . >> that's all we're thankful. >> that's all we're thankful. >> thanks to my guest, paul cox. we've got more papers coming up . we've got more papers coming up. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news, weather forecast from the met office. looking ahead to bank holiday monday and its remaining unsettled across the uk with some further showers
5:54 am
at times. reason for the ancestral weather is this area of low pressure. it's going to hang around all weekend and into next week. maintaining this unsettled feel for the rest of sunday. still, the risk of some further heavy rain, especially across parts of scotland. but down towards central and eastern parts of england, it will turn dner parts of england, it will turn drier and clearer. so here a bit of a chill in the air. first thing on bank holiday monday. but elsewhere under the cloud and rain temperatures holding up above 10 to 11 degrees. so as i mentioned, some clear skies initially down towards eastern and central england . so some and central england. so some sunshine here first thing in the morning. further west we will see some showers and they will migrate their way eastwards as the day goes on. for northern england and northern ireland. again, a mixture of some cloud and a few bits of brightness. but again some rain around southern scotland. the risk of some persistent rain still here with a mixture of bright spells and a few showers further north, but it's in fact across parts of northern scotland where we do
5:55 am
start to see the sun shine, heat the ground, we will see some heavy and thundery downpours develop into watch out for some thunderstorms here as we go through the course of the day elsewhere. still the risk of some showers, but they will be fewer and further between compared to sunday and also a little bit lighter. but for all of us it will be a slightly cooler day i think. highs reaching around 1617 possibly. maybe the odd spot in 18 degrees. onto tuesday. a bright start in the east, but another band of rain will spread in dunng band of rain will spread in during the course of the day, turning brighter but showery behind it . turning brighter but showery behind it. but all the time, temperatures reaching only at best, average remaining unsettled. on wednesday and thursday, but hints of something a bit drier and brighter coming through as we head towards next weekend . weekend. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
