protein yoghurt first. you look, you're staring in the fridge. tiramisu. i'm talking tiramisu. very nice. >> okay, well, let's take a look at those front pages with that in mind, daily mail. >> rishi, don't give labour a blank check . and jude bellingham blank check. and jude bellingham providing the eye candy telegraph . sunak promises 17 telegraph. sunak promises 17 billion in tax cuts and mrs. sunak providing the eye candy there. guardian tories implausible 17 billion tax giveaway condemned there . eye giveaway condemned there. eye candy is the mini prime minister himself and the times have pm a for vote reform puts labour into number 10. i have no idea who those people are. and metro poppy those people are. and metro poppy does £500,000 to victim. >> we just saw that. that's gary glitter, the pop paedo and, as my grandad used to refer to him back in the 70, finally, the daily star, the weekend starts how. >> now. >> those were your front pages .

>> those were your front pages. so we begin with the daily mail. josh? >> yeah . rishi. don't give >> yeah. rishi. don't give labour a blank check . >> yeah. rishi. don't give labour a blank check. this is, the unveiling of the tory manifesto revealing , 17 billion manifesto revealing, 17 billion of tax cuts that labour have instantly jumped onto, and a bunch of other think tanks have said that would cost the country about £71 billion. in the end, it's uncosted , and how does 17 it's uncosted, and how does 17 billion of tax cuts cost over 17 billion of tax cuts cost over 17 billion a year? >> okay. something like that. so they just multiply it by five i think so, yeah. >> okay. let me just get my calculator out. i'm a think tank triple 17 with henri paul to finish, but , triple 17 with henri paul to finish, but, he said some funny things, rishi sunak because he says that if they let labour in, sir keir could rig the electoral system to stay in power for a very long time by being better at his job. >> is it the. >> is it the. >> it sounds like not the final bit. >> sounds like the trump

playbook, that it's all kind of, democracy is on the ballot. >> yeah, it's there's a slight point in that, you know, the labour opened the borders to, to tilt the electoral balance in their, in their favour. >> when did they do that though, in 97. okay >> because we've had 14 years to get that hole plugged. >> oh you for some reason the tories, the tories were like yeah. >> no this seems like a good idea. >> this is all working. i mean, at least in america, the democrats arguably did that with the southern border. >> but it turns out the latinx , >> but it turns out the latinx, as i believe they're now called, are all quite conservative and catholic and family minded. >> yeah, same sort in israel as well, where the mizrahi, which are the, the jews from the middle eastern regions. okay. yeah they're all much more right wing as well. >> so it's the. >> so it's the. >> yeah, there's only one kind that breed above replacement level in the, in israel as well. there's like 12 different haredi. is it was it. yeah i think yeah. no there's a yeah there's some of them are a lot more. there's a lot of differentials. really. yeah. >> you know breeders as they call them. >> yeah. and me. yeah

>> yeah. and me. yeah >> but going back to this though. yeah >> yeah. >> yeah. >> go back to the front page of the mail, so part of it is. yes, a2p, cut to national insurance. they're also saying for self—employed people that they will cut national insurance contributions. yes. that would be quite interesting. and again, a lot of this is like how are you going to pay for it. and they say, oh, we'll do some cuts. >> we're just gonna do some cuts. yeah. yeah. it's efficiency savings. i did notice that obviously we're all biased. all comedians are self—employed or one way or another, but i would like to know what the thinking is. i assume it's to encourage, to incentivise innovation and entrepreneurship and so on. yeah, absolutely . and so on. yeah, absolutely. >> and self—employed people, you know, generally work harder and also you don't get the benefits of, of holiday pay and all that kind of stuff. >> and you don't see sickies ehhen >> you never take sickies. you don't get there's a lot of sort of state state benefits. you don't get if you're if you're self—employed. it's annoying how you know, this is the guardian painter is oh. the tax cuts mainly benefit wealthier voters. it's like, yeah, because they're

the ones who pay tax. yeah. like people don't get it that, you know, only like half of the half the country actually pays tax. the rest are leeches on the state. >> exactly. well, you know, whether you want to say leeches, they're certainly net beneficiaries. and yeah. and beneficiaries. and yeah. and beneficiaries scumb . beneficiaries scumb. >> no, they mentioned quite specifically here that people earning about 30,000 would see their tax bill fall by 170. they're not scumb, they're just normal working people. whereas people in the top 20% of the country, will will save £1,300 a year on average. >> so but that's still proportional, i think. i mean, it's true what leo says, but however you see it morally, the bulk of the tax is paid in this country by people who are. no, no, i get the top echelon, you know, so they're bound to be the ones who benefit. but i think we need to encourage people to, to work harder rather than to scrounge more constructively or creatively anyway , moving on to creatively anyway, moving on to the telegraph, leo. >> so this is hunter biden's conviction, biden says he'll respect verdict after his son is convicted on gun charges. >> so hunter biden was on tuesday convicted by a delaware jury tuesday convicted by a delaware jury on gun charges , making him

jury on gun charges, making him the first child of a us president to be tried and convicted of a crime in a case that has been a distraction for the re—election campaign of his father, joe biden. we've got a lot of first convictions for historical first convictions in this, this election. >> so the issue was whether hunter biden lied about drug use when buying, colt cobra revolver , from a from a gun dealer while waiting for his iphone to be serviced . and it takes an iphone serviced. and it takes an iphone to be serviced. you know what i mean? oh, yeah. >> caught wax on that, please. >> caught wax on that, please. >> but anyway, he said no, drug use. >> and then obviously all the all the videos of him weighing crack, smoking crack, anything to do with crack, he really, really likes crack, and moorish. >> it's very moorish and he also got, i mean, there's some crazy details came out from this case. >> so his, his, his brother beau biden, who's the good brother who served in the forces and didn't, didn't smoke crack. >> he tragically died from a brain tumour. >> his wife. so his widow, was then, like , hunter biden got her then, like, hunter biden got her into crack, and she's the one

who put his gun in a trash can. >> so the gun wouldn't have been discovered. but he put it. she put it in a trash can outside of school because she thought it's not safe. >> he's smoking so much crack, we can't have this gun in the house. she put it in her trash can, and then, dumpster diver, found the gun and he was caught, and, and jul an official profession dumpster diver in this economic climate with the democrats in power and also joe biden or the biden camp have said that hunter biden is just being targeted because of political reasons. it wouldn't be it wouldn't be a target if his dad wasn't the president. remind you of anybody, remind you of anybody who's been targeted because they're the president or the ex—president ? president or the ex—president? >> to see trump allies using the levers of the state to punish his political opponent. but this wasn't, oh, my dear , this wasn't trump. >> trump had nothing to do with this. >> the republican party had nothing to do with bringing this. i mean, obviously they are they are like on a very slippery slope now in america, aren't they? the suspicion that both sides have that vexatious and unfounded and non—substantive cases are being brought. just the smear .

cases are being brought. just the smear. yeah. it's not going to it's going to be what i'm hoping is that that trump and, hunter biden are in the same cell. >> yeah . they they'll be fine. >> yeah. they they'll be fine. and then biden could like visit and he'd be like , oh, there's a and he'd be like, oh, there's a guy above me, dad, you got some cigarettes to pay off this guy? >> can i just get back to you on, beau's widow, though? beau, not beau biden. yeah. beau biden. yeah why does that sound wrong to me? somehow his american beau biden it feels like a brand or something. anyway, so did he seduce her as well, or just get her into drugs? i believe so, i've got some polaroids to show you. that is despicable behaviour. some polaroids to show you. that is despicable behaviour . oh, is despicable behaviour. oh, yeah.i is despicable behaviour. oh, yeah. i mean, that is really properly despicable. hunter biden is not a good guy. no, i knew that was prostitutes in his own drug use. yeah, that's a massive line he's crossed. yeah, but she's she's in mourning and. yeah. yeah. and night she can stay up to excuse her. they kind of feel like maybe i'm making that mask off moment and. and this is serious. yeah. yeah. like you know, my boys fascina. yeah. my motion . yeah. use a bit yeah. my motion. yeah. use a bit of crack. i mean, i suppose

henry the eighth and all that. anyway, what's on the front cover of the times? josh, health mots will aim to keep older patients out of hospitals, so this is because, nearly two thirds of those admitted to hospital are over 65. and when they go in, what tends to happen is they'll find other parts of their body are also failing because obviously it's all unked because obviously it's all linked together and then they 90, linked together and then they go, we'll stay in and do a test. yeah. and then stay in another, do a test. and that keeps up all the beds. so the point is they're going to build these kind of centres when people go in they're just going to kind of get this motte all at once, and then they can go back and wait for the results from their doctor. >> it sounds like a great idea, except if your car fails the mot, you weigh it up, don't you? is it worth fixing is to keep old wrecks off the road? yeah, i think, i think i'd pay more for my body than i would for a 12 year old polo, let's. no, it sounds like a very sensible system. i think it's good. and, we'll just 20s on the daily star. so the daily star say the weekend starts now. they're saying wednesday is now the day

that the weekend starts. because people work from home. but i think i think this is this is nonsense. there's this perception that people slack off at home. i think people work harder at home because you're not wasting all that time sort of getting ready and then travelling and going to work and doing your teeth over your neighbour. yeah, yeah. >> it's young people. they're talking about, specifically young home workers. and i think the reality is it starts on monday for them. >> yeah i think that's fair. well that's the front page is deau well that's the front page is dealt with coming up. we have farage doesit does it need bus battlements and rishi is cosplaying. but you'll never guess

0h oh welcome back to headliners. your first look at wednesday's newspapers with me, simon evans, josh howie and leo kearse. well, we have the guardian now, leo. and i suppose if you're going to call it a battle bus, you must expect occasional projectiles. yeah. so this is nigel farage i'm sure people have seen the clip of somebody throwing objects at his battle bus. so the guardian headline is man

arrested after objects thrown at nigel farage in barnsley . and it nigel farage in barnsley. and it shows that, you know, the slight media bias. i'm surprised they didn't go with violence at far right rally. yeah. you know instead of can you imagine if you know dawn butler or diane abbott had had builders rubble thrown at them when they were on a bus ? the guardian wouldn't be a bus? the guardian wouldn't be saying, oh yeah, there was some objects thrown for, for some reason, so yeah, 28 year old man who actually looks like rodney trotter. i don't know if you saw him, but he's not, he's not. he appeared like he was in the best of health, physical or mental. to be honest, he did. look, he had a white patch on the back of his hair. i think that might have been, i think the first thing he threw at him, it was hard to see at first and it was announced as rocks, but i think actually it was a cup with some liquid and maybe frothy coffee, and i think it actually was the top of the coffee was left on his head when he first threw it. then he starts fishing around in a sort of builder's bin. yeah. and nobody's quite sure what he fished and nobody's quite sure what he fished out. yeah, and he got arrested, and he's been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence after. and this was in barnsley and we've seen, we've

seen sort of escalating attacks on. right wing politicians, especially in europe and in germany were the last year , 86 germany were the last year, 86 attacks on the afd, who are, you know, well , they're considered know, well, they're considered hard, right? i think people 30 years ago would say, quite sensible. the thing about these things, we're all i mean, the presumption is that it can escalate that you get copycats, that somebody pushes it a bit far and suddenly it isn't funny anymore. i don't know, maybe we're all being a little bit kind of pious about it. what do you think? no, no, i don't think we are. we are. >> we are. >> i think it has. i mean, mps have been murdered. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and this just all adds to it. the violence. barclays banks windows smashed in all of it is the degradation of society and the degradation of society and the inability to have a conversation with your political opponents. >> well, that's the thing that worries me is not so much actually. is somebody going to murder nigel farage? but more realistically and seriously, is he going to become less available for interactions on the street? because that's the really good part of our democracy. and that isn't like a universal even in europe , is it? universal even in europe, is it? yeah. and also it's going to push candidates out of politics. i mean, who'd go into politics

if you're a top, a top person in the business world like sajid javid took a 98% pay cut to become a politician. >> what's the incentive ? if >> what's the incentive? if you're just going to get abuse and you're just going to have your life picked over and you're going to have stuff thrown at you and you're going to be attacked, or even people outside protesting the pro—palestinians outside people's homes. >> yeah. targeting people's children. remember jacob children. rememberjacob rees—mogg's kids being showered and stuff . it's all part of that and stuff. it's all part of that same thing. and yeah, this guy needs to go to jail. and people needs to go to jail. and people need to understand that there are going to be ramifications. >> and he needs to be made fun of for looking like rodney trotter stocks. yeah, i think he was like, we can throw we can throw rubble at him. >> sixth sense killer. >> sixth sense killer. >> josh we have the we have the daily mail. now rishi sunak has decided enough is enough when it comes to immigration. it's time to act. yeah. >> what he's going to do now that he's going out of power is he's going to reduce, immigration. it's a crazy idea , immigration. it's a crazy idea, why had nobody told it? why didn't he? >> why didn't he think of it? oh, i knew there was something i forgot to do, so rishi sunak vows to halve immigration and

then keep reducing it every yean then keep reducing it every year, as he warns labour would axe rwanda migrant flights in manifesto. so there's a quite an amusing thing here because, he says , that migration had been says, that migration had been too high in recent years and we have a clear plan to reduce it. and it's then he says our plan is we're going to halve migration. yeah. that's not plan. that's an outcome. >> that's a synonym, isn't it? that's that's why you want to have what you've not done. statement of the aim reveal any of how you're actually going to do it with this with the rwanda which still hasn't obviously gone through. >> it's absolutely hopeless. >> it's absolutely hopeless. >> all he's done is introduce a sort of game style, like it's like the chess board thing with the rice or something. i'm going to halve it, then halve it again. yeah. then it'll be folded in by thirds and there still won't be what it was in 2019. >> no. >> no. >> quite a while. yeah, yeah. even if you had a term anything. yeah. no it's pretty much agree with both. you it's hard to have any, any sort of debate over that. yeah. he's been promising this for ages and it has a single individual in the british isles who's going to look at that and think, oh, that's good.

he's finally decided. yeah, okay, i'll give him one last chance.i okay, i'll give him one last chance. i mean, i guess you could argue that he's been stymied by the fact that the civil service and the entire establishment and the media and everything is completely against this. and once open borders, migration not not really for i mean, part of it is virtue signalling. and to, you know, to look altruistic, altruistic. but the real reason is the fact that we need to keep artificially inflating our economy because we're just we've got sort of damocles of debt hanging over us, and we're not even going to be able to service pensions. like for cutting national insurance. that's a great idea because we're not going to get anything out of paying national insurance. pensions are going the ponzi scheme. yeah. >> but you know what, by the way, why don't they just get more people to leave? yeah, i mean, like more british people to leave. >> well, i think the other thing, what the pensioners put them, give them all to spain. >> just go. yeah. >> just go. yeah. >> just go. yeah. >> just like, i mean incentives. the classic solution to this is to have lots of children and make them work for you, you know, not ever allow family businesses. yeah, yeah. or in the fields, you know, just keep them at home. at least keep one

of them at home as your maid. at least i think robotics is going to is going to solve the labour shortage. well, that's been japan's gamble, isn't it? they haven't had any migration. they've just like fingers crossed we sex robots. leo. enough grist for a cursed video here on the shifting political compass of recent eu elections. yeah. so how the right is on the march across the continent after voters in the 27 eu countries give a stinging rebuke to the bloc's centrist and left wing politicians. so this is the elections to the 720 member european parliament parliament that we're not a member of anymore, obviously, since since brexit. and it's interesting because, you know, in some of the media has been painted, there's been a massive swing to there's been a massive swing to the right across the continent. people, people have said , oh, people, people have said, oh, this is the populist right. this is a threat to democracy. and in fact, the left wing establishment parties over the last couple of decades have consistently ignored voters concerns about immigration. surveys show that on, on average, about 70% of people across europe think that mass migration is a bad idea and immigration is too high. so the

left wing establishment have ignored it, and now they're paying ignored it, and now they're paying the consequences. and we see, particularly in germany, france, austria , we're seeing france, austria, we're seeing swings to the right where the afd coming second above the ruling, the ruling, ole olaf schultz's party, in germany and in france, christian democrats or something. the sdp, i think they are . so there's they're in they are. so there's they're in a they're in an alliance with they've got coalition and stuff. and in france, marine le pen's national rally topped the poll and got nearly a third of the vote. so and completely trounced emmanuel macron. so he's had to call an early general election. now she's technically no longer leader of that party because she's standing in the presidential elections and they're suddenly new, stepped in and they 28 year old. it's obviously not like broken their momentum at all. and also interesting because some people say, well, is it is it immigration or could there be other policies. the only country which hasn't had this swing is denmark. i think the only thing sweden and sweden and they already have strong. well, denmark certainly has a strong very what would you call it like

immigrant anti—immigration and specifically islam . yeah. they specifically islam. yeah. they they sort of picked they picked that policy from the right to keep themselves safe. yeah. which is what you need. >> i think that is very interesting part of it. when they say there's a swing, it like the visualisation is like it's the pendulum is swinging all it hasn't the reality is that, yes, the socialists and the centrists are still have the majority bloc in the eu. but yes , there is obviously a swing of voters attracted more to those parties as you say. that is the interesting thing. denmark, sweden have left wing parties still in power who have adopted more right wing, ideas about immigration because they're being more adult about it. yeah. and that's probably going to happen here. if this isn't dealt with an adult way. and that's what happens if you don't have this conversation across the political spectrum, then you're handing it to the right, which is what you're seeing. >> and i'll tell you what's going to happen here. so the immigrants won't be able to get into europe. so they're going to come to the uk. the uk, because of brexit is going to be the last left. yeah i mean this is

happening. these are it's the iron law of unintended consequences. josh mouths are gaping. the telegraph as it appears hamas have a scant regard for the sanctity of human life among their own side as well. >> yeah. who knew? apart from everybody. it's ridiculous. this is even a an article. hamas leader believes civilian deaths are necessary sacrifices. an israeli war. leaked letters show . now all you have to do is just look at the way that they fight the war. when they. when they went to war with israel on october 7th, they hadn't didn't build any bomb shelters . they build any bomb shelters. they didn't spend that money. they they deliberately fight out civilian areas and in schools, in mosques, in hospitals. civilian areas and in schools, in mosques, in hospitals . they in mosques, in hospitals. they deliberately have their bases there. they deliberately put their hostages within civilians. this has been part of their war strategy for years. yes, they want civilian deaths. now. we have written proof of that. sinwar. writing to people and saying, you know, we have the israelis, right? where we have them , but because of because of them, but because of because of their, their necessary

sacrifices of their people, it's the only thing i'm intrigued by slightly, is whether this chap himself is in palestine or whether he's in iran, because they don't if he escapes . not or they don't if he escapes. not or not, they say that he's surrounded by a bunch of hostages that move with him. he might still be in gaza. he might have escaped out of egypt, out of the tunnels before. >> because i always, my suspicion is that there's even more callous disregard for palestinian lives in those who are really, you know, setting up these these, strategic operations from from hundreds of thousands of miles. the greatest weapon to change western public opinion is dead palestinian civilians. that's you know, that's part of their strategy. and i don't know who does their pr, but to be openly admitting it like this is a, you know, a bit of a faux pas. it's a leak, isn't it? but i don't know whether if it's one of those leaks that's intended to, get a conversation started . yeah. conversation started. yeah. whether it is malicious. >> but you've got to remember, they're islamists and we're trying to put our western mindset onto it. yes, islamists love death. they love it. they believe that they will go to , to

believe that they will go to, to heaven. and so they actually want to die. and they don't mind if other muslims die because they believe they're going to go to heaven. it's a it's a death cult, literally us here in the west trying to put our judeo—christian morality onto it. it doesn't fit. you have to start thinking of it as the reality of how they see life, or in this case, death. that's the sad. >> in which case we should not kill them. then i think . that's kill them. then i think. that's important. coming up, we have elon's angry labour and making plans to restrict energy drinks. king portrait has been with. sounds interesting. we'll see

welcome back to headliners. so, leo, we have elon musk, openai and an apple. are they re—enacting the garden of eden for us? so apple are going to integrate chatgpt, which is an

ai thing, into the iphone. and elon musk is furious. he warns that it's a security violation. that means he could block apple devices at his companies. so basically, he's concerned that when you use the openai with the chatgpt service, it sends the data to openai and apple, he says. apple aren't smart enough to stop it because , as he says, to stop it because, as he says, they're not smart enough to make their own ai. so how are they going to be smart enough to monitor and ensure the safety of data used with this ai? so, i mean, i am confused with this because i know roughly what chatgpt does you say to it? write. write me 2000 word essay about, you know, oliver cromwell or whatever . yeah. and it or whatever. yeah. and it scrapes a load of information off the internet about oliver cromwell , off the internet about oliver cromwell, including sort of arguably breaching copyright and so on. but that's not what he's talking about, is it? he's talking about, is it? he's talking about, is it? he's talking about something more personal. well even, you know, even even when you when you see it to it . i even even when you when you see it to it. i want to even even when you when you see it to it . i want to write about it to it. i want to write about all of our cromwell all of a sudden, openai. i know that you are interested in oliver cromwell. right. and you know, it's a big loser. so it's more

that it's more it's more a kind of like just usual data scraping, like amazon would do or whatever. yeah, but you can, you can, you can really identify people and find out so much about people from, even from their google searches, they can, you know, which are, which are technically anonymous or anonymized. ladies, i do i do understand that, and it's a major issue, but it has been for the last 20 years at least. you know, why would this be a step change? why would musk feel that? >> well, the reality is he's also got a big sort of bone of contention with the guy who runs open air because elon musk was. yeah. altman. yeah. >> so it's elon musk. another it's such a ridiculous on the nose name . you think he does sam nose name. you think he does sam altman it's like come on control alt delete my he does. >> he doth protest a bit too much because he used to invest in the company. and now he sees the ai is going in a different direction. so they've been arguing and, also he's got his own one called grok or something. >> is it or something? yeah. >> is it or something? yeah. >> yeah, but but the reality is

apple is actually big on security. yeah. it's a closed system. yeah. so i just because elon musk puts up a meme doesn't make it so necessarily . make it so necessarily. >> no i don't think it can be a closed system though because these large language models, they need to be processed on a big server. and apparently it takes a huge amount of computing power. it's like the equivalent to the power needed to create a bottle of water or a bitcoin . bottle of water or a bitcoin. >> that's something a bit more interesting in here is that there's quite a lot of developments within this, not just the ai. there's stuff about like pay. you can pay like a phone to phone like i'll give you £20. yeah. like that. lots of other cool stuff. but one thing is that there there's going to be no need for actual phone carriers. they're going to be using the, the, the emergency texts, and they're going to be sort of expanding that. so you can use imessage and it's going to rebound off any, any, satellites . yeah. and it just satellites. yeah. and it just means now that you actually in the future won't necessarily have to sign up to a carrier, right. you could just sort of text and it'll just bounce off anywhere in the world. so that's interesting. >> labour. now josh they have identified a second significant

thing that turning 16 should enable you to do. >> well, this is it. >> well, this is it. >> labour now voting. oh sorry sorry. >> well this is big. this is big news because labour have finally started coming out with some really hard hitting policies which are going to affect the country . yeah, labour, they're country. yeah, labour, they're going to this is the headline will ban under 16 from buying energy drinks such as prime and monster. and this is just exactly the kind of stuff we want to see from their upcoming manifesto . manifesto. >> i already get annoyed when i try and buy monster in tesco express, and i have to have my age checked. somebody has to come over, you know, buy monster , yes i do. why? because. because you ought to be hit. i want to i want to stay awake while i'm driving long distances and you get id checked. yeah, well, they come over. they need to. they come. you're not. it's like. like trying to buy booze. somebody has to come over at a self—service tool. you get that with cbd drinks as well. oh, okay. yeah. >> well anyway, they're all right. the point the point is this is one of the things that is about ayahuasca. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know, it's got a lot of sugan >> you know, it's got a lot of sugar. it's got a lot of caffeine. they're saying that it

affects kids badly at school. yeah. kids are able to buy in corner shops . and they looked at corner shops. and they looked at evidence they 2018 they did a survey and 93% of respondents said yes, support the ban. this should have gone through under the tory government. yeah, they've already done all the work on it, but it's been a zombie government, so they haven't. so now labour are coming in and saying we've got a zombie government. >> that's that sounds like another branch. yeah. that's why they wouldn't ban monsters. and also keir starmer is description. >> he says that young people are feeling the impact of 14 years of conservative chaos and decline. >> that sounds like a slogan for these drinks. yeah. i feel the impact 14 years of the real thing though, he says . thing though, he says. >> i will always take the tough decisions necessary to keep our children healthy . that's not children healthy. that's not a tough decision. >> banning it for under 16 really easy. that's ridiculous. jon savell that was a never mind leo shift to citizenship. 38 years and counting in the guardian. yeah, so a jamaican man in the uk for nearly 40 years must wait another ten years must wait another ten years to apply for citizenship. this is dennis henry , who's 61. this is dennis henry, who's 61. he came to the uk in 1986 to join members of his family. he

was an apprentice tailor, dreamed of a career as an engineer in the music industry. he arrived , he arrived on a six he arrived, he arrived on a six month visa and was unsuccessful in attempts to regularise regularise his status because, like some members of the windrush generation, he was unable to provide evidence of his years of residency in the uk. and you can understand you move house, you lose documents. apparently there's a house fire as well. you lost some documents there and i think, you know, the fact that this government, the tory government, have clamped down on the windrush generation. yeah, it's like people are concerned about, restricting immigration when it's illegal immigration when it's illegal immigration or incompatible cultures who then want to, you know, kill us and stuff like that. student visas come with 15 members of the family. yeah, exactly . stuff like that. guy exactly. stuff like that. guy gets it. this guy contributes to the uk. he's come here in good faith. you know, he's why why are they picking on him? why are they trying to. you know, i don't suppose they're picking on him deliberately. it's just the system, isn't it? it's. the computer says no thing, but it should have been fixed. absolutely. it's terrible. the system should work better than this was, like five years ago,

amanda, wasn't it? what's her name? had to, red. red. rudd. rudd? >> yeah. these people are falling through the cracks. it's going to cost them about £10,000 over the next days. in home office application fees, nhs surcharge. it'sjust office application fees, nhs surcharge. it's just unfair. and as you say, it's a system, but it's like be human. at the end of the day, he's got three kids here. >> yeah british kids, british kids. >> it's like, come on. and it just then it makes it just i don't know, it's just some nice balance from gb news on the. >> yeah. on a visa issue. josh damage to the king's recent portrait which the obvious rejoinder is how could they tell. well, yeah . tell. well, yeah. >> well actually look a bit like, i mean, and his portrait tonight, actually, with the big red background and the sort of. yeah, yeah, sort of a bit of a freak, but it's got the same imperial grandeur , king's imperial grandeur, king's portrait targeted by animal rights activists. this is what, you know, kind of part of the theme. we see farage being attacked. we see barclays, being attacked. we see barclays, being attacked. and now this his latest portrait, which has

arguably been a big success. i think when it came out, there was a bit of a hoo. about it. but i think it's very nice. >> well, it got people talking. >> well, it got people talking. >> yeah. and, but the way. but this is very much on the lower end of the scale. they stuck. they knew it was glass. they stuck like a little speech bubble on it. yeah. it's to raise awareness for rspca who give out a certificates to farms to say, yeah, these animals are treated well and they're saying this, this animal rights group saying no they're not. and they need to look one of his farms. no, not his farms. but just because he's a patron of rspca but he's just got a speech bubble. anyway, it just had a speech bubble. >> and i think they actually do that deliberately in art museums now. anyway, to make things interesting to kids, put speech bubbles on paintings apparently. yeah, really. >> but i don't think there's i mean, they'll argue the fact that we talked about it or it's got any publicity means that it worked. i just think these things need to stop . things need to stop. >> we should ignore it. but at the same time, if somebody does a tire mark on a on a pride flag crosswalk , then they get, you crosswalk, then they get, you know, hunted down line bikes have turned off their bikes, so you can't. if you drive a line bike on a pride flag, it'll

stop. it won't work. i think it's ridiculous that, you know, that's such an exalted, precious ideological symbol. and then the king's portrait isn't a rembrandt or a van gogh . yeah, rembrandt or a van gogh. yeah, yeah, yeah. no, i completely agree. well, we know what happened that balfour painting, remember? >> it got slashed. >> it got slashed. >> yeah. what happened to that? what's >> she should be in jail. she was a fact. yeah, that is a ruling of at least thrown out of her. >> at the very least , her. >> at the very least, i her. >> at the very least , i haven't >> at the very least, i haven't heard anything. yeah, i thought you're going to see a 14 story window. it's a narco tyranny , window. it's a narco tyranny, leo, work socials needn't involve alcohol or pubs or eating or work mates or anything, to be honest. just go home. oh my god . so city law home. oh my god. so city law firms have been urged to stop hosting work socials at the pub over fears they exclude muslim staff in particular, muslim women wearing hijabs were found to be at greater risk of family and community disapproval if seen at bars or pubs . one seen at bars or pubs. one interview interviewee named hamza , said it feels hamza, said it feels dishonourable in terms of religious beliefs going into a pub because that's the place we don't really like to associate

ourselves with. well, how about you change your community ideas? yeah, this is such a retrograde idea. like british culture has always been based around the pub. and, you know, british work culture has always been based around, you know, drinking and let our hair down. can you imagine, like, why have we got to bend over and destroy our culture to appease, appease somebody who's, who's not, whose ancestors weren't from britain? i mean, i imagine if i went to afghanistan like, hey, guys, this mosque culture. oh, it's really it makes me feel uncomfortable. all this going to the mosque, i demand sitting on rugs. yeah yeah, like a demand. a demand that, you know, you all stop going to the mosque. so i feel more comfortable. you know, they'd behead me with a big sword, indiana jones, that's what would happen. and i have to say, i would. i would have some sympathy if the expectation was that you get drunk. i mean, i can see it's perfectly reasonable to say i'm sorry, but i don't drink for my religious, you know, whatever. but there is there's loads of people who go to pubs now. just drink soft dnnks to pubs now. just drink soft drinks and don't get drunk. a lot of there are pubs available in this, you know, in the places

where there are big law firms, there are lots of losers. you're not just like immediately being jostled. it's not like some big chas and dave christmas knees up, is it? >> i'm sure there is some truth to people drinking, getting drunk together and that leading to some level of right, you know, friendship and career advancement at, at some level. so and, you know, i have sympathy for , for, for, for sympathy for, for, for, for alcoholics who have a similar thing , alcoholics, you know thing, alcoholics, you know that. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i got sympathy for muslims in that, that, that does cut them out of it. but as leo said, the line here that is just absolutely shocking is exactly that where, where the complaining that that their families wouldn't want to see. well, i'm sorry, as you say, that's an issue for you. yeah. to sort out and for your culture to sort out. yeah. that's not the we need to change. it's a, it's a total absolutely right. >> with the scotch eggs would be halal. that's that's it. that's the last concession. part three has been dispatched. part four

alone remains r ,we , we will see you very shortly. that's just after the after the

break. and welcome back to headliners for our final section. josh we're going to kick off with this story in the mail about someone buying a vibrator. it is illustrated, i noticed with a picture of tesco express , which picture of tesco express, which is intriguing. >> yes. i didn't know that you could get. i think you're with your club. do you have enough points? >> yeah, i've been too focused on the energy drinks. >> yeah, that's. yeah. so tesco manager who was sacked when he gave a female colleague a vibrator for secret santa wins unfair dismissal claim after insisting raunchy gif was bought insisting raunchy gif was bought in joking manner. also has to be said that she said that it was also like a joke . oh, okay. it also like a joke. oh, okay. it seems like they're all by each other, but things i don't know if we can say the whatever. they know things that go on. got a plug know things that go on. got a

plug though. very good, and, and he's also i don't understand the race discrimination. i don't know how big this big it was anyway. right, but yes , he anyway. right, but yes, he sounds like he was a little bit doing some, some text messaging as well. so there's some other elements to this . elements to this. >> he had people sitting on his lap, according to the according to the woman and secret santa charity and allowed members of staff take to take part in sexual endeavours in aisle three. i mean, what task was this ? yeah, this does sound like this? yeah, this does sound like a not so secret santa. yeah it sounds like a fun tesco's coming up the chimney now. leo desperate last shot from the anti—mask campaigners inaya news so astronauts could suffer permanent kidney damage on the journey to mars because it's a long way and you can't get out to pee, i should imagine. yeah so, i mean, they should put a toilet. put a toilet in the spaceship. diapers, male adult diapers. yeah, yeah. or male male adult diapers or some kind of tube, but yeah. so basically they're saying, you know, this this could mean that they'll have to shelve this plan to go

to mars and just go to devon instead. yeah, but yeah, it takes at least a year to get to mars with current. i mean, that is pretty quick actually, though, isn't it? a year? i thought it would be longer than that. that's actually that's reasonable. would you do it go to. >> well, not not if it's going to cost me my liver, kidneys, kidneys or whatever. you've got five kids, five kids, five kids, 12 kidneys. that's fine. yeah, but , yeah, 12 kidneys. that's fine. yeah, but, yeah, this is interesting because it's the solar radiation that causes it. so that's what they've never really been able to test apart from with mice, because we have enough protection around the earth for any the international space station , so it is a problem station, so it is a problem whether they go on dialysis. they say they can't really protect properly the space. >> so you can't shield the shuttle from this kind of radiation? >> no, no, not not as yet, but. so whether medical treatments will help is such a good planet, isn't it? >> it's such a good planet. >> it's such a good planet. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we take it for granted. >> we take it for granted. >> we take it for granted. >> we do, we do, we should, we should, we should help it. yeah more. >> i might start a movement, josh, from couch to five k and

back to the couch again with tinder . tinder. >> yeah. will you find your soul mate on the track? and it's not. not hunter biden. the heroin track . but millennials and gen track. but millennials and gen z are turning to running clubs to find love as tinder launches its own exercise group for single singletons . this is part of the singletons. this is part of the sort of trend that we've seen of younger people drinking less. yeah, and, and just being better human beings apart from their inability to read books. yeah. and just spending too much time getting their politics on. >> well, it's like a marble trojan tiktok. one down, another one pops up. yeah. >> so they do it. i did, i used to host speed dating, and i once hosted a cycling one. yeah. and i had my, my, my, then fiance, now wife next to me who's very beautiful. and when we were going around, i said, oh. and i was like, she was my assistant. i said, and this is monique. and, we actually met at this event, six months ago. >> you were hosting it? >> you were hosting it? >> yeah, six. and everyone was like, wow . and i was like, nah, like, wow. and i was like, nah, we did it. they were got it . it we did it. they were got it. it was funny. but yeah, this is

people, i think that that's quite a good way to have a date with somebody. first of all, you hope that they're thin. yeah. and that they're, they're sweaty. >> there's, there is definitely a thing as well because everyone like, tries to present their show reel when you chat in the wine bar or whatever, you go, yeah, i like to, i like to work out. i like to run, i like to exercise. i'm gonna go to the gym because it sounds good. but if you actually meet them in the in that place. yeah, it's a little bit more authentic, right? yeah. you can't sort of, i guess hide things with the makeup and spanx. that's that's my secret. yeah. so seeing people at their worst, i think, is actually a great way to start a relationship. how do people cope with the stress of being out of breath on a treadmill? yeah, yeah. >> can you do 20 press ups daily sun elianne and their poo balloon scoop from a couple of weeks ago seems to be escalating. >> this could be the nuclear exchange we've all been fearing. yeah, so poo balloons in north korea or in both the koreas have been swapped for gunfire as the standoff at the korean border escalates. they've got that demilitarised zone across

separating the two koreas. but according to a statement from south korea's military , the south korea's military, the nonh south korea's military, the north korean soldiers who were working on their side of the border crossed the military demarcation line armed with construction tools and weapons. it seems like they're going for farage's battle bus , but they farage's battle bus, but they quickly retreated. it is going to be the next thing that's flung at him, isn't it? yeah, yeah. they quickly retreated to their territory after after south korean soldiers fired warning shots and issued warning broadcasts. so the poo balloons for people who missed that, missed that one. they were basically getting these big helium balloons and tying poo and trash to them and sending them to south korea. after checking that the wind was blowing in the right direction. we weren't antagonising china. so it's sort of like a pixar film, but with poo in it. that's right up. yeah, yeah , i think right up. yeah, yeah, i think i'd prefer bullets to a poo balloon. well, you know, that's south korea's advantage so far, isn't it? but this is i say this isn't it? but this is i say this is how it escalates. if they're trying to provoke, you know, that thing that they were saying the other day from the rules for

radicals? your enemy's reaction is the purpose of your action, right? you know, this is trying to go and then they can say, we just sent over some poo balloons. now look at what they're doing, but they're sending the k—pop stuff. >> and actually, that is more dangerous because if you criticise k—pop, that is like my destroyed online, they should do a cover of 99 poo balloons. >> oh, nice, bring back the hairy armpits. what was that name? nina. nina? yeah. nina daily mail to end. josh, very quickly. peanut joys . once quickly. peanut joys. once killjoys want to solve one of the greatest puzzles in henge lore, you've got 30s. >> has the mystery of stonehenge finally been solved? yeah, what it is they thought that they'd mined it and wales and then bought it over some. how did they do it? ancient humans. they must have had mystical powers or balloons, poo balloons or whatever it turns out that. no, it was, they were sort of carried , on a glacier. probably, carried, on a glacier. probably, probably glacial distribution of bluestone . bluestone. >> there we are. well, the show

office for gb news. there will be fewer showers during the next 24 hours, with an increased chance of clear spells, particularly in the west, as higher pressure moves in. but we keep the northerly air flow so we keep that cool air with us and as a result, where we do see clearing skies overnight, it is going to turn fairly chilly. the clearest skies will be across central western scotland , parts central western scotland, parts of northern ireland, western england and wales, although still the possibility of a shower or two running into west wales and cornwall . there'll wales and cornwall. there'll also be some showers into the north—east of scotland, eastern england, where there'll be more cloud ten celsius here, but where we've got the clear skies further west, the potential for the mid single figures by dawn. nevertheless, it's a beautiful start to the day for much of central scotland through the highlands, grampians, western isles as well. we've got this cloud cover into the northern isles and the far north—east of the mainland, giving a few light showers in places. northern ireland, though mostly bright and dry. first thing likewise for northern england, a thicker

cloud there for the east of england into the south—east. 1 or 2 showers about first thing. likewise for west wales and cornwall. but these are the exceptions, i think, for the vast majority blue skies and patchy cloud around first thing. but mostly dry now as temperatures rise through the morning, there's always the possibility of the odd shower breaking out once again across eastern england. but for many it's a fine and bright day still on the cool side, but the winds won't be quite as brisk, so i think it's good to feel a bit more pleasant. temperatures of 18 celsius, perhaps 19, in the south, mid teens generally elsewhere. another chilly start to the day on thursday. plenty of fine weather. first thing, but in the west we've got the cloud building, the wind picks up, outbreaks of rain push into northern ireland, western england and wales by lunchtime and in the east it turns cloudy by the afternoon as well. that rain clears to showers on friday and into saturday. >> it looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather
