headliners your first look at sunday's newspapers. i'm paul cox and my panel of comedians. this evening is the delightful carey marks and the delicious lewis schaffer . lewis schaffer. >> how are you both and why am i not delicious , well, i thought not delicious, well, i thought delightful was because lewis is delicious. >> because he's mainly made of meat. >> have you tasted him.7 >> have you tasted him? >> i have been forced to taste it. have you not been asked for tasting? you should be advised against that, i think, lewis, you said we all like to taste you. i didn't make it seem like you. i didn't make it seem like you were forced. i did not, under any circumstances, force you. i'm doing all right. i'm wearing a blue a blue jacket because we're in a new studio. just temporarily for this weekend because they're redoing our studio. >> that's why you're wearing a different jacket. >> i'm wearing. i'm wearing blue. it's. i call this boca raton blue. >> well, that's the ridiculous beginning part of the show over with, so. right, let's have a quick look at sunday's front pages. the sunday telegraph hands out lack of the dignity of wages, says starmer. the observer . starmer's growth plan observer. starmer's growth plan doomed without access to eu

markets. the mail on sunday is zelenskyy farage is infected with virus of putin. the sunday times top tory placed dozens of bets on election date. the sunday mirror the rishi, the rishi gets richer as the poor get poorer a daily star on sunday et rage at the henge. tarquin and those were your front pages . let's kick off with front pages. let's kick off with the mail on sunday. >> carry . >> carry. >> carry. >> oh, how much of a pleasure is this? here we are doing the news yet again by finding all the exciting stuff that's going on. and the daily mail, before we get to them, i think this is the story you want about zelenskyy and farage and so on. but i must mention first that it also has a world exclusive interview with meghan's dad, who said at 80 that he'd love her to call it on his birthday, which i think that

should top everything with the news. >> the first place you'll be looking, you can see why that's world on sunday. >> yeah, and see why that's the world exclusive as well . by the world exclusive as well. by the way. she doesn't call me either and i don't i don't go on about it. do i? no, no, it's with him anyway. so the other the other sort of story i guess down from there is, zelenskyy , farage is there is, zelenskyy, farage is infected with virus of putin. so i'm detecting a new, a new lockdown coming . yes. with the lockdown coming. yes. with the putin virus strain of putin. have you got everyone? does a lot of putin around, so the ukraine leader , we're told, is, ukraine leader, we're told, is, his fury after reform chief blames west for war, outrage over nigel farage comments. we don't know whether he was actually outraged or whether he was in fury or whether someone said him, have you heard this thing? nigel farage said. and he said, yeah, i'm a bit upset about that, and he's calling it the, the virus of putin, really what it's about is that nigel farage, it's being placed as if he has said that ukraine deserved the war, or russia had a good reason for the war, which is not exactly what he said at

all. we'll come to that in a second. but it's brought keir starmer and rishi sunak together for a moment to have common ground and say, hey, there's someone we disagree with together, which has made them both very happy and the starmer said anyone who's standing for parliament ought to be really clear that russia is the aggressor, because that has to be very , very clear. if you're be very, very clear. if you're standing for parliament in parliament, as opposed to things like what constitutes a woman or how far israel can go in defending itself, which they can all disagree on, apparently. but as long as they all agree on this one thing and that's absolutely fine, it seems like it seems like fake wrestling, doesn't it, where they all agree on beforehand who's going to win? >> who's going to have what opinion? >> yes, they are the uni party as far as i'm concerned. >> what do you make of this lewis? >> well, i make of it. it's in the daily mail and the daily mail. obviously wants a party to be elected and if you were a party, you'd want if you were. i think if you're supporting either if you're supporting the tories , you would want you would tories, you would want you would want farage to be put down. and

that's what's happening in this thing. so that's why zelenskyy farage is infected. it's telling people don't vote for farage. vote for our guy. mr mr >> this lends itself to your teen world stuff. >> i've always found it fascinating about the ukraine—russian war, how the overwhelming perception is that you , crain, have done not you, crain, have done not ukraine on their own, nato have done absolutely nothing wrong and russia have done everything wrong. and that cannot possibly be true. >> that's exactly right. and this is this is what's happening is the team world, which is basically germany and france and the european things and, and the british parliament. they want to go to war with russia because they want they want the entire, entire europe. >> to be clear, though, that's not that's not what farage was saying. he didn't say he didn't. he wasn't saying. he was never saying that , from what i've only saying that, from what i've only just read through this, but it doesn't seem that he was saying that, that putin was right to go to war or even had a good reason to war or even had a good reason to go to war, but he's saying

that what expansion of nato did was to and the european union was to and the european union was to and the european union was to give them a reason to say to his people, to say to his country that we can go to war. i don't think it's a great argument. i don't don't really agree with the farage point , agree with the farage point, because i think whilst there is some truth to it, unless there are actual tanks on the border, i don't think you have that excuse. and let's face it, you know, nato didn't rise up after the attack on georgia or, you know, or crimea . very know, or crimea. very interesting. so, so and 2.2, it does feel like they've been giving these guys billions of dollars. >> yeah , but there wasn't there >> yeah, but there wasn't there wasn't a start. >> you didn't start a war. it didn't provoke a reprisal of any kind. >> it has team whatever it is. what team? team europe. team europe. my team my team, my team world. >> it turns out that we're not going to solve this right here, right now. i know we hoped we would when we spoke before the show, but we're going to have to move on to the next story. what next up is the telegraph. >> lewis is the telegraph. this is, this is , handouts like the is, this is, handouts like the dignity of wages, says starmer.

this is the daily telegraph. and basically it basically is basically it basically is basically it's keir starmer, saying something that a labour leader wouldn't normally say because as i say, the labour is like labour wastes money and the conservatives steal money. that's that's the two choices we have. and the fact that it's in the daily telegraph is sending a message to tory voters is that that hold on a second, that that starmer isn't going to waste as much money. so you should for vote him. right. that's i think what it's saying, kerry. >> i mean, i'm i'm assuming it's saying that he's he'd rather people have jobs than, than take handouts. that's what he's saying. yeah. but i agree he's sort of playing into the right isn't he. he's trying to get the votes that the tories. >> why is it now. why is it in the front page of this, this newspaper? >> that wasn't his fault. what is very interesting to me is he is very interesting to me is he is saying exactly what farage is saying in the reforms contract to the people. >> he's saying, look , you know,

>> he's saying, look, you know, people are trapped within the benefit system that as soon as they get over 16 hours, they're paying they get over 16 hours, they're paying so much out, there's no point in them working. so it feels to me like starmer is trying to win over some of the tory voters. >> it wouldn't surprise me if he suddenly goes, maybe national service . yes. service. yes. >> but that is for me. it's how they don't recognise that this, you know, they don't recognise at all that nigel farage is coming up with some common sense ideas. what do you think, mercer , i mean, obviously this is the station of nigel farage. basically, a lot of people support nigel farage, but i think it's more it's more interesting that this is the story in the telegraph. this is helping keir starmer to get elected. so the telegraph, normally you'd think would be support a conservative candidate and leaving them . yeah. yeah. okay. >> well maybe what have the mirror gone with carrie, the rishi get richer, talking about rishi get richer, talking about rishi sunak and how much money he makes, the fact is, he makes a lot of money. you know, he's

very, very rich. he might not have heard this. i've heard it. they've kept it very quiet. yeah, he's very rich and he's getting richer. i don't know what difference it makes. after a certain point, you can only say he's very rich. you can't go. he's very much team labour. he makes so much money, he makes. so he's making. he's making an extra million than he did, four years ago. they're going to need to come up with a new word for money to describe what he has. it's just out of control , and what he has. it's just out of control, and i what he has. it's just out of control , and i suppose money. control, and i suppose money. it's only it's not even $1 billion. >> they're saying he doesn't even have to lift a finger to make that much money, unlike, say, a yo—yo champion or something. so, i don't know how we're supposed to react to this story. it's what we already knew, didn't we? we knew rishi was rich. yeah, and we knew. >> and richer. yeah. and but the big story, it's not even a big story that the mirror supports labour getting in. yeah. i mean, pointing out continuously something we already know about rishi. >> there's so many other things that we can talk about when it comes to rishi sunak, the fact that him and his wife are wealthy is just by the by now, i don't think it makes any

difference. to what? to what? >> it's not a new fact, is it? it's just it's not adding to it at all. we should say they also have a story about taylor swift having a selfie. >> well , that's absolutely >> well, that's absolutely fascinating stuff. and i can see why. no, it is fascinating you know. >> no, no. you see you're looking at it from a narrow point of view. it is fascinating . but the fact is that every single newspaper has a picture of taylor swift with the next king after this king? yeah. you know, and then his kids. it looks like something this looks like something out of the wizard of oz. >> he likes his children. his children like swiftae . yeah, jobs. >> and so and so. we have to like the king. and we have to like the king. and we have to like the king. and we have to like the royal family. when the royal. >> do you think we could get to the daily star? >> let's get to the important story of, perhaps just about 30s kerry. >> maybe you can, i think you might need 30s. yeah. >> sorry. do you think you might need 30s on this? >> yeah. eat rage at hencote talking as it says the spoon. this is this is what's his name? the guy with the spoons, uri geller, uri geller. and he says that, that when you mess with it. with the. what? you. mccall, he lives down there. uri geller lives down. where is the. he lives down. where is the. he lives in israel.

>> he lives in israel. >> he lives in israel. >> yeah, but didn't he live down there with michael jackson? didn't stay down there. >> where do you mean? >> where do you mean? >> well, with the wombles. down. down on the way. where? the thing where the stone age . yeah. thing where the stone age. yeah. >> this is really informative stuff. >> you know where to live, don't you? he's saying stonehenge is going to, the fact that people have painted stonehenge there , have painted stonehenge there, protest this week, could cause an alien invasion because they might have sent a message to auens might have sent a message to aliens with their with their paint, but it might also be an auen paint, but it might also be an alien love fest. we don't know. he can't know that they might come here and some of the signals do get mixed, don't they? >> but he's probably right that it is a special place in the world, and you don't mess with special places. >> well, that's true, lewis. that's the front pages sorted. join us after the break when starmer and sunak gang up on farage. jk rowling gangs up on starmer half pubuc public gang 9 ' gan bl|c pu up public gang up on

next. >> in five, then. welcome back to headliners. >> i'm paul cox with kerry marks

and lewis schaefer to the observer now. and keir starmer has checked with tony blair. and they both agree that keir starmer should say that labour are not interested in rejoining the eu. eu and never have been. lewis. >> yes. and they're not planning on it. that's the news. the news keir starmer said rejoining the eu isn't our plan and it never has been. it never has been. his plan. of course it's been. it's not to rejoin. he was against leaving . he wasn't always leaving. he wasn't always a remain guy. and so this is another one of stories where he's just saying everything that he's just saying everything that he thinks the other side wants to hear. it's like a nudge, nudge, wink wink. we're going to we're going to win the election. so we might as well say nice things to everyone . and that's things to everyone. and that's what he says. so he says we're going to remain a remain guy. he's not a remain guy. the fact is , is that the whole country , a is, is that the whole country, a lot of the country doesn't want to go back with europe, but i think he does. >> i think the only problem i would have with what he's saying is that he said he never really wanted to rejoin, and they were part of the campaign to rejoin. sir keir starmer was very much

part of corbyn's part, idea of rejoining the eu. >> so i think corbyn was against rejoining the eu. corbyn was against it because he saw it as as the thing that put down pushed down his communist, whatever left wing idea corbyn had no idea by the end. >> i mean, corbyn originally would have definitely never joined the eu and campaigned to leave the eu most of the time until he became leader of the labour party, then campaigned to rejoin after he left. anyway. >> kerry what over to you, mate. >> kerry what over to you, mate. >> what do you think? >> what do you think? >> oh, you want me to talk about the story? yeah, if you wouldn't mind, mate. yeah. well, great. i know it's a duty, isn't it , i know it's a duty, isn't it, i don't know the point you were making on this. >> i'm not sure what point you were making. >> the point that i was making. >> the point that i was making. >> i was with you. i didn't understand what you were saying. >> no, because he made the point on the introduction. i had nothing to say, i. what do you say? >>i say? >> i well, obviously he's not going to win people over even with, remainers at the moment. most of them, most of them aren't going to want to go through all the hell of going back in again now. and it would be like, it would be like after a long, painful divorce saying, i've changed my mind, you know,

yeah, half the house back, i'm for us rejoining the eu and then leaving again. i would like to us keep for a laugh, keep them on their toes, you know, surprisingly, they're having it too easy. you know, they know where they stand right now. look, he's got to say that right now. we don't know what his intention will be by by a second term, but for a first term, it's very unlikely there'll be any changes. and, right now he has to assure the public he's not going to do anything dramatic, which he will, which means he will do something really dramatic, because it's always the opposite. >> sorry that at the top of politics, wherever it is in the western world, that you're not really allowed opinions of your own. >> you get pre pre scribed opinions and then you just rattle them out. it's all politics. >> this is this is election run up. it's going to be both parties accused of what they're going to do and particularly with labour because of course they haven't been in for a long time . so they're going to be time. so they're going to be accused of things. and, starmer is going to spend a lot of his time insisting and denying that that's not going to happen. well, exactly. >> the i and jk rowling accuses labour of abandoning women, to be fair to labour is difficult to abandon. something they can't

identify, carry . identify, carry. >> nice one, yeah. jk rowling accused labour of abandoning women. it's a good job, i said. midnight, midnight. genuinely starmer hits back. i bet he didn't hit back anything. i bet he just replied the language. the language of the no . is the language of the no. is anyone shocked? horrified? ingenuous. they're smashing their heads on a table, she said he had a she was worried about him. he has a point. she thinks she has a poor opinion, sorry that his attitude towards women and a poor opinion of his she has a poor. that was terrible. can we restart the whole show ? can we restart the whole show? it is live, kerry. i know, but that's what happens, isn't it . that's what happens, isn't it. she had a poor opinion of keir starmer when i'm reading and thinking at the same time, you know, and a comedian said some funny things before, so people are not going to notice that. yeah, that's true. we get rid of it. labour party, according to keir starmer, has a long history of progress on women's rights, passing landmark legislation has changed millions of lives. but that's not replying to what she's saying, is it? no, that's a completely different thing.

shadow chancellor rachel reeves said she wants to eliminate the gender pay gap once for and all. and then she meant to add, by having more men identify as women , because men are the only women, because men are the only ones who can make money in this . ones who can make money in this. >> j.k. rowling, though, has donated £1 million. that was in 2008. she was a big labour supporter, and i think she's probably would say that she's been proud of what labour have done over the years for women's rights, but she she's become a powerhouse now. if jk rowling says something, from her feminist perspective, it might just resonate with a lot of women in the uk public. do you think , though? think, though? >> i don't think so, no, i think she's been discredited among the people of the left, the team world, people. they don't like her and because because the trans issue has taken i've had some chats about trans things lately and people are very sensitive about it. >> you're very undercover in the left wing world, aren't you ? left wing world, aren't you? >> yeah. they don't know that i'm a left wing person. >> the idea that jk rowling is being discredited, i think, is for the birds. she i mean, jk rowling's whole point has been about protecting women's spaces and just helping people realise that women still average earners

and men celebrities. >> yes, but the thing that she talks when she talks about trans people, it really bothers those people. oh yeah. >> yeah, yeah. but she still has a huge following and a lot of people who agree with her and i think and obviously, rowling speaks out, then it's enough that keir starmer needs to answer her. so, that's pretty i think he's i think he's made a bit of a fool of himself on this keir starmer mean, first of all, saying, well, what tony blair said is what i believe . said is what i believe. >> i mean, you're going to be the prime minister of the uk in about three weeks time. stop asking the grown ups what you think after , you know, stop flip think after, you know, stop flip flopping and make your own choices about things. you know, he knows keir starmer knows exactly what a woman and a man is. and if jk rowling has to point it out, then i'm all behind her anyway . the behind her anyway. the independent on sunday and scheming starmer lays claim to being the mastermind behind kicking boris out of parliament. lewis. >> yes, yes. and i wasn't paying attention to it at the time because i just i just thought the whole covid thing was a bunch of zeros. but, and i had covid, i've had covid twice and

people are going to have covid, but there's no there's no great institute checking out on the flu. but there is about covid. and he said he played a game with boris over the over that partygate thing where he says we got to get the facts down and prove he's a liar because he knows that . he knows that boris knows that. he knows that boris johnson is a liar. so he basically called boris johnson a liar. but all politicians are liars. what is what was what was bofis liars. what is what was what was boris johnson supposed to do? say, hey, yeah, we were partying like it's 1999. >> i don't know, i mean , perhaps >> i don't know, i mean, perhaps i don't really value keir starmer enough to believe that he planned all of this. i could have him completely wrong. and once he's prime minister, we might get a better feel for what he's like. >> this is an odd story because he's coming across like, first of all, why are we talking about johnson's term anyway? now we're on to a new thing and it's an election coming up, but he's playing this. if the stories like he's a great detective, i'll tell you how i did it, you know, and he's, keir starmer has set out for the first time how he laid a trap for boris johnson. i'm expecting i'm reading through this story. i'm

looking for what the great trap was was cakes. yeah, yeah. like i was. i was was cakes. yeah, yeah. like iwas. i hid was was cakes. yeah, yeah. like i was. i hid as a flower in a corner of his room . i had my corner of his room. i had my phones everywhere. people disguised as flower pots , but disguised as flower pots, but but then the next one, he laid out his specific intention . this out his specific intention. this is carry on the story. intentional way. he set a trap for mr johnson over the partygate scandal. and we're waiting to find out what it is. and then finally, the story gets to this, i knew his instinct would be to lie. it was a thread that we pulled over months. that's it. so we don't find out what he did know? >> he didn't say a bit what he did. no, he doesn't know. >> he said i was less bothered by what he was saying. >> then he asked him a question . >> then he asked him a question. the question was, what was the question ? question? >> his question is caught in starmer's trap story about his forensic trap that he set, which is, he said he said that he asked a question. >> he said he said , what do we >> he said he said, what do we say about something like that? no, look, this is like me. >> like if a magician proving you read this, this is like a magician saying, i did an amazing trick where i made a shoe appear and you say, and i'm going to tell you how you did,

how i did it. and you say, how did you how did you do it? and he says, i did it magically. yes. that's what's going on here. there's no story. we're not being told anything. so i have to find that really helps. >> also, the point here that starmer is really making is that bofis starmer is really making is that boris johnson is partial to a fib or two. so if he so i mean really big revelation. no, i don't think it is. anyway, i think we should probably move on and look at our first look at the sunday telegraph now. and a poll finds that 50% of the pubuc poll finds that 50% of the public would avoid rishi sunak at a party caring what kind of weird pole is this , anyway, weird pole is this, anyway, asking members of the public whether they have anything in common with why. what do you need to have something in common with a with a prime minister? can't they just do the job? well, i, 2011 people were asked, i don't know, that's a very specific number, isn't it? i've got no idea. >> well, they throw it out 2010. >> well, they throw it out 2010. >> isn't it enough. >> isn't it enough. >> no, they they have a certain penod >> no, they they have a certain period of time to do it. they ask. they're trying to get 2000 people and then they stop when they get around 2000 people. i actually was a pollster in new york for a little bit during my bad dark times, and there was no

money coming in before i started comedy. we. yeah. and the reason there's 211 so many hidden secrets. >> i'm six. >> i'm six. >> i'm six. >> i'm 67 years old. i've done everything. yeah, even pollsters tried everything. >> so. so they asked all these people, 53, said that if they were having a conversation with him, they'd talk about politics or they'd ask what his general outlook on life is. that's just a lucky guess, isn't it? really? and it sounds to me like they're planning a really bad date. >> it'sjust planning a really bad date. >> it's just they give they just gave three things. it's not like they gave a list of, okay, tell me this poll isn't weird, though. >> the next thing they ask them is, they ask what subject they thought keir starmer was best at in school. well, why is that? for a poll ? what? what for a poll? what? what difference does that make? well, we've decided he's best at science. well, actually you're wrong. >> math. right. so yeah, no, i agree. see, i'm agreeing with you because it is . it is totally you because it is. it is totally a waste. a waste. i am agreeing with everything you said. agreed with everything you said. agreed with me. i know, but this is always one show i wrote down on. agree with carly. >> it was as if 53% of people said, we think the questions you

think we would ask rishi sunak yeah are ridiculous. so we're not going to ask him any of them. >> and remember, there was a column on nothing in common which people could say, nothing in common. >> they feel like they don't anyway. i mean, i always say this, but rishi sunak is from southampton. i wouldn't have anything to talk to him about other than maybe you would. >> you would have something you'd say, listen, i use andrex. is it worth , is it worth the is it worth, is it worth the extra money? yeah. >> do you like the stuff with the aloe vera or not? >> you people have. so you have so many things in common with this guy. he's married to a woman who has a lot more money than i. he wears shoes. he wears shoes. we all know what it's like to have gets up in the morning. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay, well, we're at the halfway point now. and in this section, young people can't be bothered to vote. the election forces comedians to rewrite their edinburgh shows. and the bbc still don't think hamas are that bad. find out more

next. welcome back to headlines . back welcome back to headlines. back to the independent on sunday now. and among the growing list of things young people won't do, we find voting . lewis. we find voting. lewis. >> yes. this is the great election. turn off the true scale of millenniums. millennials and gen z's who won't vote. i don't know how old these people are, but they're within the voting age thing. but that the younger millennials is 83, 82 onwards, something like that. i don't know. i can't keep track of it. i was i was the first we were the first ones boomers. and then there was nothing between boomers. >> i think kerry and i are probably gen z, gen x , gen x, probably gen z, gen x, gen x, did that come next gen? >> i think there was like a 20 year delay before that term . year delay before that term. anyway, don't argue with me, i have to. >> you've agreed with me. >> you've agreed with me. >> a few moments ago i like i said, i'm not going agree with you with everything. >> i mean, do the story if you can. >> yeah. the truth is it says it says basically 40% of these young people are not voting. and the truth is you don't need to vote. it's like it's like what happenedin vote. it's like it's like what happened in america in the 1960s or something. what jesse jackson

found out that 5 million black people in the south were not voting . and he said, if we get voting. and he said, if we get those people to vote, then, then we will win the state houses in alabama and georgia or whatever. and he went down there, huge fundraising thing, and he got people to vote. >> statistically speaking, though, particularly with the news gone, here's the punch line that fills the punch. sorry, there's a punch line. >> is that really a punch line? but here's the finish. thing is that all the white people, the white racists, oh my god, look at my black neighbour going out to vote. and they went out to vote too. and there was no change. so made no difference. it made no difference i'm not sure. >> yeah. and i'm sure that story is true. but i think with particularly in the uk and particularly in the uk and particularly with gen z, i think labour are probably hoping that gen z get out there because gen z, you know , young people, z, you know, young people, people in their early 20s, they're really not wheat statistically. they don't go out and vote conservatives. they're not ready for that yet, they will they will come, i'm sure. more come, more likely to vote laboun >> and it's also a reason why labour wanted to reduce the

voting age to 16. of course, that would also be in their favour. yeah, exactly. almost certainly , this story is the certainly, this story is the true scale of millennials. it says here and gen z who won't vote. like i didn't know there was a fake scale of millennials. have we been measuring them if there was. yeah. the this is interesting as well. this research carried out by would you say that's technique or technique uk , it starts by technique uk, it starts by saying around 4 in 10 people, 41, 4.1in ten people. then isn't it . who's writing this, and, so , it. who's writing this, and, so, so a lot of young people, i'm not i know a lot of people believe that everyone should vote, but i've never been a believer in that, and no one's ever given me a good reason why they should. i think apathy is a vote. i think. i think if it's like complaining, people don't go and see a show, you know, it's like , well, the show is not it's like, well, the show is not attracting people. then you do have to give the young people something to vote for. >> you know, if they are completely uninspired. yeah, well, they're not going to vote tories, i don't think. but if they are entirely uninspired by what's what's on offer, then they have every right not to vote. i mean, i would encourage

everybody to vote for obvious reasons. i think it's important. i think we're in a difficult penod i think we're in a difficult period for the uk. but you know what? i look at this as, as a 44 year old man, someone who's been voting for 20 odd years and there's nothing exciting about this whatsoever about this election. no, for me, i don't think it is. >> i think it's one of the i think there is something exciting, but people shouldn't be forced to vote. it's a way for them to. it's like being registered for the covid lockdown thing. it's like people don't want to be registered . don't want to be registered. they maybe they don't. maybe they don't want to know that i've met people who shouldn't vote and people who shouldn't vote. >> i've met a few of those. >>— >> i've met a few of those. >> and do you know something is not going to change a single thing? well, we'll leave it on that note. >> i don't think anyone should vote. >> okay, there you go. there's two opinions there, i hope you're all listening out there. the observer and the election has forced some comedians to rewrite their tedious shows about politics. >> terry, this is the nonsense . >> terry, this is the nonsense. we always have a non—story, don't we? this one. this one. we all know what happened here is pr companies have contacted the paper with this all written out

for them. >> yeah, we've . i don't want to >> yeah, we've. i don't want to say he's the dullest, but he's a lovely guy. you did though, can i just say these are pr companies getting, publicity about the fact that there's an election going on, which is actually wonderful for topical comedians. it's going to be. it's a perfect timing. they'll hit the edinburgh festival with, loads of new stuff, new material and so on. this is the time when they're meant to be writing. and they're meant to be writing. and the complaint here is that we have to keep writing and write new stuff. this is what you do. this is what that's what comedians do every time during their previews. >> right now, every time is perfect for topical comedians because the best comedians are topical. carry marks. and paul, we speak about what's in the room. the room is on fire. will make a joke about it. we just say, oh, it's bad news. the room's on fire. we can't make a joke about it. >> it's really embarrassing when the room's on fire and you got nothing, and i've got nothing. >> who knew the room was going to be on fire? no. >> couldn't plan for it. yeah i mean, one thing. >> it will be interesting is the dynamics will change because there's been 40 years of their favourite party being in in opposition . yes. and now they opposition. yes. and now they almost certainly won't be when

it comes to the edinburgh festival. so they are going to have to probably prove that they're on the side of the elite. now because they're going to be in favour of the team in government, and there's going to be very interesting to see how they are critical of that, because they will be critical. >> yes , those people will not be >> yes, those people will not be critical because when a state of war now and you can, they're going to make jokes for their side. but it won't be good jokes. okay. >> the sunday telegraph , we >> the sunday telegraph, we automate that was a topical comics, the sunday telegraph. and why do the bbc continue to struggle with identifying hamas as the bad guys? >> hamas kill, kill, kill and this is this is what's this program becoming now , i believe program becoming now, i believe the committee for accuracy in middle east reporting and analysis camera. it's like i think it's a jewish organisation . they're saying that the bbc, which has this bbc arabic people, says the bbc is accused of disclosing that that the people that palestinian

journalists who were killed were actually hamas, not just hamas supporters. they were gung ho, gung ho hamas people, which they, you know , i don't want to they, you know, i don't want to you don't want you don't want anybody to die. but, even yourself, who's the most contrarian of contrarians? >> are you not finding it difficult to identify why the bbc are struggling to identify hamas? as i said, bad guys in the intro, but proscribed terrorists actual legal proscribed terrorists because that because they are fighting on the on their team on the bbc. >> the bbc is the most is the most coherent. we hate, we hate the right or whatever, whatever this place is or whatever other people think and they, you know, this is the thing, the news, the, the people who are holding the, the people who are holding the jewish hostages who were rescued . they were actually they rescued. they were actually they were actually a reporter and a doctor. they were it was a journalist who was killed and held and was part of holding people as hostage and so on.

>> and the, what what's happened over years is that there's , over years is that there's, sentiments and ideologies from universities that have crept into people of left university, gone into the bbc, brought in their friends. gone into the bbc, brought in their friends . yeah. and now their friends. yeah. and now there's a very strong ideological bias that that seems to be there in, in the bbc and across a lot of the media. and i've been looking at some of the camera uk, organisations, work and, and they've actually put in loads of very thorough reports of, just really bad reporting going on in the, in the media, and, you know, cover almost a complete cover up of unrwa's complicity. you'll hear the bbc cover a story and bbc arab service gives a different story, and then it will turn out, as had happened a few times now, i believe a couple of times that, the person giving the report is actually an activist for. and it hasn't been mentioned or has some hamas affiliation and the bbc. so all this is going on really the bbc is a tool. >> it's the state propaganda

service. i don't mean state like it's controlled by rishi sunak, it's controlled by rishi sunak, it's controlled by this, this team world. the that wants to destroy our way of life. you know , and it's bad and it know, and it's bad and it doesn't give me a job. >> so i don't think they want to destroy our world. i think they have a point of view, but they're very, very tied to it. and the reporting is over in a matter as quite as complicated , matter as quite as complicated, as delicate as this, with so much high emotion, then you really have to be careful with the story. and i think the bbc, of all people, should be respectful and say, we don't know. this is what we've heard from one side. this is what we've heard from one side, but instead it's very much immediately reporting hamas carry. >> it's taking our money through tax, through taxes. and so it has no place being a news service. it cannot be a news service. it cannot be a news service because it's not independent and no news service is independent. but it's not. it's our money. and why should we give money to be told we're no good, that we should die? well, there's some valid points both there. >> and i think this will rumble

on. yeah i think, you know, i just find it fascinating. it's absolutely stark that they're unable to follow the law, the mail on sunday. and doctors appear to be accusing children and young people are suffering with a lack of attention. gary >> it's unbelievable, really, i know. >> can you imagine? >> can you imagine? >> this is about the diagnosis, for , mental illness and for, mental illness and particularly borderline personality disorder. the story revolves around a doctor's, to easily say, borderline personality disorder. and and, and many doctors are now saying that the doctors should avoid these labels, the story seems to be i've had a quick glance through this, but it doesn't seem to be how it will affect the patients. it's more how it will affect the doctors giving that diagnosis, because then they treat people as if they're, just lazy, which i don't know how you tell, once again, as you're saying with teens, but, they treat them as lazy rather than as someone who's got a mental health condition. so it looks like the story is doctors are asking doctors to refrain

from that diagnosis, rather than saying doctors should realise that bpd is serious and not not laziness. so it's the attitude that's wrong, surely? >> yeah, it feels like the attitude is wrong to me. there is a lot of mental health problems out there now. there's a lot of more awareness about mental health, particularly in children and youngsters. i cannot wait to hear your opinion on this, lewis. >> well, i'm against it. i think just because someone says they've got a mental illness, that doesn't mean you should be giving them pills. this is like a pill, a pro pill story. it's like it's basically saying to the doctors, don't just don't question every anybody comes in and says they don't feel that well mentally give them pills. that's what it is. let them see a psychiatrist . there's not a psychiatrist. there's not enough money in the world to treat all the people. i myself have suffered from borderline personality disorder because i live right next to southwark southwark border. i live in southwark, but i live right next doon southwark, but i live right next door, right next to lewisham. yeah, it's a borderline. i'm right on the border. that was a joke that not as good as your jokes carry? no, no , no, you jokes carry? no, no, no, you just shot me. >> i didn't think you were borderline at all. i thought you

were full on personality disorder. no idea. there was any doubt. >> was not in kyrees mind. >> was not in kyrees mind. >> that was part of the fun. >> that was part of the fun. >> i live very close to right there. i live near brockley. i'm not going to say where i live, but the point is brockley. the point is, is that you should question you. a doctor has to question. they have to question people and pills don't work. anyway. i don't think this is about what the doctors are. >> i don't think it's about the doctors. overdiagnosing it's more than the doctors. once they have diagnosed as borderline personality disorder, they then treat someone as if they're , treat someone as if they're, they're emotionally unstable rather than someone who's got a mental health. >> they're not giving them pills. that's the answer, right? they're saying they're not giving them pills. and if you're not giving them pills , that not giving them pills, that means you're not helping the pharmaceutical industry give them pills. >> i think, you know, pills are for giving . that's what i say. for giving. that's what i say. pills are for sharing. >> pills are for sharing. i mean, ultimately , there is mean, ultimately, there is probably a blend of treatments, good therapy is not cheap and not really available on the nhs. as far as i'm concerned anyway. well, coming up in the final

section, multitasking is bad for your brain . fat people get their your brain. fat people get their own day at the beach and likes a bet two.

welcome back to the final part of headliners, the sunday telegraph . being able to telegraph. being able to multitask is no longer the boast. it once was. kerry. >> oh, i'm fed up with the whole news. to be honest . why? news. to be honest. why? multitasking is bad. i thought we did multitasking back in the 80s, wasn't it? it was like everyone's got to multitask . everyone's got to multitask. women are better than men because they can multitask. let's do two stories at the same time. we can do it. multitasking is, now, apparently this is, by the way, this whole story is just it's not story. it's an op ed.and just it's not story. it's an op ed. and it starts with, i'm one of life's busiest multitaskers. i can cook dinner as i chat to a friend. and then. but sometimes i forget to do this or do that. i forget to do this or do that. i don't know you. whoever this is, i don't care .

is, i don't care. >> did you read the entire story? >> because i know i read as little as i could. yeah. look, some multitasking is useful. clean and go . that's good to do clean and go. that's good to do in the kitchen, isn't it? you clean up as you as you do things, and then there's, there's stuff here about grey matter and what multitasking really is, which no one really knows. and then there's, loads of repetition . of repetition. >> don't read the newspaper. >> don't read the newspaper. >> well, yeah, because there's a bit here. it says most experts agree, like there's experts on multitasking . multitasking. >> i don't believe you read experts became extinct during covid. >> don't. yes, they should have done.i >> don't. yes, they should have done. i mean, you should have done. i mean, you should have done. >> talking of experts, louis schaefer. >> yeah, i'm an expert in this because because this is this is one of those sunday articles . one of those sunday articles. it's a saturday. it's no today. >> saturday. yeah. but we're doing tomorrow . correct. doing tomorrow. correct. >> yeah i was thinking it was i right was i. yeah. because i'm wrong most of the time. anyway, the point is you agreed to me earlier on it through me. >> go on. >>- >> go on. >> endless. >> endless. >> i'll agree with you. i agree with you on this too. it is. it is a bunch of bs because the truth is, nobody multitask. washing the dishes and fixing the fixing the. what do you call

that? the post comes out. the toaster. toaster. you don't sit there and multitask . you can. there and multitask. you can. multitasking does not work. it's mixing water with the toaster would be quite fatal . would be quite fatal. >> do you know that's also what happened after after all the multitasking talk, many years ago is scientists entered into it and said, by the way , don't it and said, by the way, don't actually multitask at all. you're doing one thing at a time. the brain switches really fast. the reason why pickpocketing works, by the way , pickpocketing works, by the way, as an expert, is, is that people only think of one thing at a time. so if you if you're banging someone here, then they're thinking about you have to give them something else to think about and their brain is on that. so someone misdirection is that's what misdirection is. so my advice to people is just do things. yes >> that's the kerry marx version of how to win. just do stuff as fast as you can, mount it and order it. >> let's go to the observer now. and it's raining space junk back home. lewis, are we doing space junk? >> no. >> no. >> what are you doing, mate? >> what are you doing, mate? >> it's a lovely story. it's fun. >> 314 oh, what? did i miss it? hold on a second. what was that? jo—anne nadler. aukus. are we going back? are we going back to

14? let's pretend. i'm sorry. it's live. >> lewis. it's live . >> lewis. it's live. >>— >> lewis. it's live. >> keep going. us. no. we went from 15 to 16. >> lewis. they know anyway. >> lewis. they know anyway. >> so this is this is. this is good news. us family susan asks for £80,000 in damages after space debris hits home in naples, florida, which you should sue nasa if something falls from the sky and hits you in the head and they break or whatever or breaks breaks your house, you should get some recompense for it. and that's what these people ask. but they didn't say how much what it did to their house. did they say 80,000? >> well, they're asking for 80,000. it went through the roof. it damaged the floor, and then they went through the roof when they found out. it's a cool. it's cool, isn't it? space debns cool. it's cool, isn't it? space debris coming into your house. they should be happy about that. and i think obviously they should get their 80,000. there's a lot of space debris up there. you know, there's over 9000 metric tons orbiting the earth , metric tons orbiting the earth, which means nothing because it weighs nothing in space. and do you do you remember the story of the tall bag? >> no i don't. a few years ago,

less than 10s long. gary. oh, no . the daily star and the chinese are developing a sex doll with emotions, which i can't believe any man has ever asked for. >> lois. yes, exactly. this is china developing next gen ai powered sex dolls with focus on emotional connection. and this is just the news. this is just a pr piece . it's like a bit of pr piece. it's like a bit of sales propaganda saying, look at our our doll. it's hot looking, but it also will give you some kind of mental connection, which is so, so, so you're not being a pervert like we normally are, because we're not just interested in the body , we're interested in the body, we're interested in the body, we're interested in the body, we're interested in something else. >> they're giving giving the sex doll emotions . oh, great. doll emotions. oh, great. they've ruined the sex doll. i can't believe it . i can't can't believe it. i can't believe this is happening, but soon you're gonna have sex dolls complaining that you didn't chat with her afterwards and so on. it's going to be awful . and it's going to be awful. and then, you're going to go around to someone's house and sex doll vacuuming . vacuuming. >> i mean, i don't have a sex doll . i just >> i mean, i don't have a sex doll. i just want to >> i mean, i don't have a sex doll . i just want to say that doll. i just want to say that live on live television. >> no one believed you because of the fact you said it.

>> yeah , i certainly wouldn't >> yeah, i certainly wouldn't have won with emotions, that's for sure. >> the observer now and a beach day dedicated to fat people. see, sunscreen sales triple. gary, look, i'm, >> yeah, i'm. i'm into body positivity myself . i'll look in positivity myself. i'll look in the mirror. >> you have to be at your. >> you have to be at your. >> did i do i look in the mirror and i think you are positively fat, and, so this was, a beach for fat people, which , they used for fat people, which, they used the word fat here, which i didn't know we were allowed to do anymore. but apparently we are today, these celebrations being held to coincide with pride month . so i suppose this pride month. so i suppose this is now going along with pride month as a sort of fat pride march, which is a very slow march, which is a very slow march, but good for them, and, there's someone here saying i'm so self—conscious at the beach. yeah, i don't know you. so what. and therefore there has to be a beach for people like me. well, i feel that way as well. people look like me at the beach . i look like me at the beach. i think they should be a carefree beach. but can i say why is it not a beach? my my, your your answers. >> your expositions are too long. is that sorry. won't talk. is that. is that i think fat is

good because we're heading into a war situation . we're fighting a war situation. we're fighting in with the, the israel gaza thing. and everywhere in the world is going to be war and people are going to need to be fat because there's going to be starvation coming. and so i used to be against big fat, you know, i call you fat. >> you're obsessed. >> you're obsessed. >> i used to and i think i've made a mistake and i made a mistake by losing. you can't tell i look really big on. i weigh 100, £175. >> anyway, anyone who's been to a british beach has seen fat people on a beach. this is new to us. >> the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages , shall we? sunday's front pages, shall we? the sunday telegraph handouts lack the dignity of wages, says starmer. the observer starmer growth plan doomed without access to eu markets the mail on sunday is zelenskyy. farage is infected with the virus of putin. the sunday times top tory place dozens of bets on election date . the sunday mirror, the date. the sunday mirror, the rishi, the rishi get richer as

northern and western england, as well as wales extensive low cloud is expected here. some mist around the hills and coasts and some drizzle first thing sunday. otherwise increasingly sunny skies for scotland, northern ireland and for parts of east anglia as well as the south east. it's going to feel fresh first thing, but temperatures will rise quickly through the morning because of the sunnier skies. however we've got that mist around the coast of the southwest as well as parts of wales and drizzle over the hills, and that will take some time to clear up during the morning. northern england, scotland, northern ireland increasingly sunny through the day and with that sunshine we're going to see some higher temperatures compared with much of june so far. but as i say, the mist and low cloud that will be lurking around southwestern shores could take some time to clear. and some were like torbay could keep that fog around the coast through the day, come inland and skies will brighten nicely by the afternoon and with

sunny spells developing widely, temperatures will reach 25 celsius in the south—east, 20 to 22 celsius generally elsewhere. monday morning starts off with a lot of cloud across western scotland and northern ireland. some patchy rain and drizzle elsewhere. another day of warm, sunny spells and increasing temperatures . we're looking at temperatures. we're looking at highs on monday into the high 20s and by tuesday and wednesday the possibility of 30 degrees looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

seriously, did we take it?
