used to women like me in your girls school, the guardian has sunak urged to drop candidates as investigation scandal deepens. the mail has ten days left to stop disaster of a starmer supermajority. the starmer superm ajority. the financial starmer supermajority. the financial times leads with conservatives lose a third of their voters since january , their voters since january, according to a survey. and the i has tories questioned sunak's leadership as he resists calls to suspend betting scandal suspects. the times has labour plan for changing gender with less evidence . and those were less evidence. and those were front pages . and let's front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the telegraph. josh labour to rip up school trans ban . school trans ban. >> so this is on the back of, what's growing into a beer? a bit of a, furore . there's a bit of a, furore. there's a furore, i don't know, a win for
2:05 am
the opponents of labour because as, as i personally said and other people have said months and months ago, if labour doesn't get on top of this stuff, this is going to come and bite them in the butt. this is exactly what's happening here. they started with the jk rowling basically printing why she doesn't fully trust labour on these issues. and now in an interview, the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson has said, well, we're going to relook at the advice. the cast report came out this for the people who are new to this issue. the cast report came out a few months ago, which basically said that this was a social contagion, that children were being pushed down these routes of medicalisation, and now they should obviously be stopped being taught this rubbish in schools , that's what rubbish in schools, that's what the government then advised or started proposals to advise schools to stop teaching this stuff. and now labour are coming in and going, well, actually, we're going to have a look at it to see. and this is, this is the most so that she was questioned three times. she wouldn't actually say what the advice would be. she said, oh, we're just going to look at the
2:06 am
advice. but this is the thing that where she says here, she says that, we need to let's take a more responsible approach. well, there's nothing more responsible than protecting children. and that was what the approach was. >> but then, i guess, paul, they would say, labour would say and the activists and ngos that surround them and give them crazy ideas. you know, i'm trying to give balance there. it didn't quite work out. but they would say that this is protecting children, that drugging children, giving them hormones , you know, railroading hormones, you know, railroading them into changing their sex and then surgically maiming them is protecting them because it's helping them live the their true and valid life as , as and valid life as, as a non—binary, genderqueer member of society, i hear what you're saying, leo. >> i mean, labour is a broad church, and like with all churches, there's always a couple of strange ones at the back. it really don't like little girls. and as a result, we end up with this kind of weird, weird situation with laboun weird, weird situation with labour. the weirdness comes in and i could hear the frustration in josh's voice. and you know, as someone who would have voted labour back in the day because he needed a transition. >> josh, 20 years ago, that
2:07 am
wasn't what his on this occasion wasn't. >> what was frustrating about god help me back then is if only they had done josh, however, what we've got here is labour so in charge in in this battle to get into to, number 10 that they can they can get away with this stuff at the moment. well, yeah, that's the thing, josh. >> i mean, if they get in with a supermajority, they'll be able to enact whatever crazy policies they want . they want. >> yeah, it's very, very frustrating. you know , 51% of frustrating. you know, 51% of the country are women, a large portion of them, they recognise a threat to women's rights , that a threat to women's rights, that this is the danger to children. this is. and it just amazes me even seeing, starmer being interviewed about it the other day and the newsnight, he. how did how do they still how are they not on top of this stuff, this stuff has been going on for years. the evidence is out there. >> there's a lot of fun watching feminists argue with trans ideologists. i mean, that is everybody wins. it was fun for the first few issues and then i got a little bit upset. well moving on to the times poll,
2:08 am
what have they got in the front cover? oh, so, the times farage wants the west to start sensible negotiations with putin. >> now i'm fascinated by this story and i'm really interested, and i'm sure you'll give me your opinion as well. josh, i'm sure at some point i'd be fascinated to hear what it is. leo, particularly as you understand this story, a lot better than i do when i see, stories like this where farage comes out and says things to me as someone who doesn't know a tremendous amount about it, what looked to be fairly reasonable comments in terms of, obviously understand that nato is defensive and putin is attacking. however, there was an encroachment, is attacking. however, there was an encroachment , there is an an encroachment, there is an encroachment over years and years and years and years and that did seem to play in politically now, but not into russian territory, not into russian territory, not into russian territory, not into russian territory near the border. okay, but that's, that's they're two very different. >> but you can understand that, you know, i mean, i'm a, i'm a massive, supporter of ukraine. i'm a massive supporter of nato, but i can understand that . it's but i can understand that. it's gonna it's gonna play into
2:09 am
putin's paranoia . and also, you putin's paranoia. and also, you know, he's going to feel, threatened that it's going to give the his satellite republics, it's going to maybe, perhaps tempt them, tempt belarus, tempt, you know, some of those, some of those areas, even kyrgyzstan and places like that to, to look more westward rather than, you know, being in his orbit. >> well, rather than making his country better and making them more appealing with freedom and whatever, then he can only use bully threat and intimidation and the stealing of crimea. he is right that the west farage is right that the west is partly responsible for this, but for not standing up to, to putin years ago, that's what he should have done when crimea was invaded. that was the opportunity for the west to go. you know what? maybe we're not going to buy all of your gas and be so utterly dependent on you. >> yeah, i completely agree with that. but what's interesting is back then, boris johnson now is coming out and saying, oh, farage is, you know, he's absolutely pilloried farage for saying this in 2016, boris was saying this in 2016, boris was saying pretty much the exact same thing. you see, an eu expansionism is provoking putin. >> this is what, spikes my
2:10 am
spidey senses in the sense that i see a story like this , which i see a story like this, which seems reasonable. yeah, it doesn't seem overtly , extreme in doesn't seem overtly, extreme in any way to me personally. and it's the reaction to it that seems to be overt to me. they're all just no, no, no, you can't listen to that. that's bad. and it's like, well, listen to what? what have i missed? because it immediately makes me think there's something more to it. now, i do agree with josh in the sense that, you know, you cannot justify putin's reaction to it. it's the same with any argument. you know, if someone acts aggressively , then they've lost aggressively, then they've lost the fight. and that's what putin's done. but it did as farage says, play politically into putin's hands. it gave him what he needed to justify to his people, to attack ukraine. >> yeah. and i think what we're seeing now is people playing politics with it. so it's something that putin can use politically to his advantage. he's come out and praised. farage for, for saying it. but it's also, you know, opponents of farage, can use it to, to bash farage when, you know, i think and i think we know that reform is actually a staunch ally of ukraine. ties to richard
2:11 am
tice took vehicles to ukraine. >> well, it's an interesting one because now farage and this is what the headline of this article is. yeah. how he wants the west to start sensible negotiations with putin. well, some people will see that as giving in to putin, allowing him to maintain that. i think we should definitely just have silly negotiations with putin just to really start with the silly ones. there's i just got to say, there's another huge story here. and i know on the trans labour plan for changing gender with less evidence. so this is the other side of the same coin where labour are now. it turns out , talking about what it turns out, talking about what people might argue as being bringing in self id, under a different name and they're normally now when anybody can just see that wherever gender, i can just see i'm a woman and i'm like, what do you mean you need evidence? >> and arguably a woman. >> and arguably a woman. >> and arguably it brought down the snp. so what they're saying is like at the moment you have to visit two, doctors and you have to have two years of evidence that you've been living your life as the opposite sex. now they're sort of saying they're going to do away all of that because they're saying that
2:12 am
it's like an infringement on their rights, i guess. and they said, there'll be a two year waiting period or a cooling penod waiting period or a cooling period that is still the point is, from that point, you make that declaration and now they're making it down to one doctor. >> let's quickly before we i mean, it does sound i don't think it's a good idea. it does seem seem quite silly, but i think i'm going to enjoy the absolute clown show that it is, but let's quickly fit the guardian before we go to the break. yeah. >> okay. labour set to name dozens of new peers. so this is what always seems like happens when a new government comes in. but because of 14 years of the conservatives being in charge with a bit of lib dems in there, they have 104 more peers. now, keir starmer said that he wants to abolish the house of lords as it as it is , but in the it as it is, but in the meantime, he they, they want to get through a lot of legislation in that first 100 days. so they've got this kind of list that they're working out. the sue gray is working up, she's top of the list. no. i mean, she's i wouldn't be surprised if she's i wouldn't be surprised if she's on it , she's i wouldn't be surprised if she's on it, of, people to be able to balance it more to get
2:13 am
this legislation through. and then they're talking about, like i said, reforming it. but it does serve a role , in terms of does serve a role, in terms of keeping a check on the government. yeah, certainly with this supermajority everyone's whining about, it's , you know, whining about, it's, you know, having the house of lords, there would be a valuable check, i think, because it makes sense to have, a chamber that isn't elected. >> so they don't need to worry about, you know, what the what the short term goals are for. you know, they don't need to worry about that. i think do do what's best for the nation. >> yeah, it does feel peak. starmer to me though. you know, he is someone who says absolutely no to the house of lords. but when i get in but at least 100 new lords in there just to help me out, it doesn't make any real sense. it's like it's like he has, tony blair in his ear the whole time. we're essentially getting tony blair two. i voted for tony blair 1 in 1997. >> and any regrets, i don't have any. i think it was brilliant. >> i've got massive regrets. oh, i thought he was the best at the time. and now he's destroyed the country. devolution mass immigration, what else? like
2:14 am
2:17 am
welcome back to headliners. i'm leo kirsten. i'm still here with josh howie and paul cox. the people's gammon. starting this section off with the telegraph andifs section off with the telegraph and it's day 850 of putin's three day special military operation to capture ukraine. and it's been an eventful day with terror attacks and a tragedy on a beach. paul. >> it certainly has indeed, crimea sunbathers struck by deadly shrapnel shower from ukraine missile. so, shrapnel from an intercept rated us made missile. i mean, they always have to put in us made missile. i'm not sure. i guess it does
2:18 am
matter anyway. fired by ukraine. hit a beach packed with sunbathing tourists in occupied crimea on sunday. russian officials have said at least five people, including three children, have died of shrapnel wounds and they're expecting that toll to rise. yes this is a atacms cluster bomb, which you know, is obviously designed. >> it scatters a lot of munitions, munition over a wide area. so it's going to be it's going to be lethal in a on a beach. it's going to be horrific. >> it's tragic, i think because it's intercepted, it's worth pointing out that the beach was not the target. no >> and there's a lot of military installations around, crimea and actually close, close to this beach, in fact. so when a russian air defence missile struck the missile and, you know , so it's really a it's an accident. yeah >> because, i mean, it's very difficult to argue anything else because obviously the missile was being fired. towards what? fired towards what russian believe is russian territory in crimea. and they've intercepted it and blown it out of the sky. >> and what we believe is ukrainian and what we still, i still firmly believe is
2:19 am
ukrainian, ukrainian territory, well, not interesting. obviously, it's a tragedy. number one. yeah, but it will have a big ramification. this is their big, tourist area. yeah, it's a huge influx of russians coming into the region. this is going to have a massive impact. there was already talk of that having an impact. and this will just sort of this will finish it. yeah. no, that is a big deal in terms of their local economy and crimea as well. >> it's being starved of water since russia blew up the dam. so that, you know, the aridification of crimea is happening. so agriculture is being destroyed , there. so yeah. being destroyed, there. so yeah. and with the supply routes, the bndgeis and with the supply routes, the bridge is now is now going to be, looking like it's going to be, looking like it's going to be blown up because they've got long—range missiles and they're allowed to use them on, on that bridge. >> now, crimea river , as they say. >> yeah. yeah. well it was used as a you know, they essentially said it was a, you know, an aircraft carrier. but now, you know , the military are being know, the military are being dnven know, the military are being driven off it. and there's also a terror attack today. josh. >> yeah. really, in, in russia
2:20 am
properly now. yeah, dagestan. dagestan. yeah it's like dagenham, but less violent. yeah, exactly, people want a dog whistle about dagenham. that's what they call it. and, yeah, synagogue was burnt down. a church was burnt down. i believe a priest was murdered. yeah. and i believe there's a connection even to by this is by islamists. and i believe there's even a connection to the actual , the connection to the actual, the like the local mayor or the leader of sergo zelenskyy. >> apparently two of his sons were were involved in it, but that's i mean, this is, slightly speculative at the moment. >> it hasn't been pure speculation is what we thrive on here. leo but it's just it's systematic of what we're seeing across europe. i would say , this across europe. i would say, this is an attack on the jewish community in dagestan by islamists. and this isn't unusual. >> we're seeing this all over the place now, george, you were saying earlier, this is the same part of russia where they were.
2:21 am
we saw the footage of, of angry mobs of muslims looking forjews mobs of muslims looking for jews and looking everywhere , looking and looking everywhere, looking in, peering into jet engines to see if there were jews . it was see if there were jews. it was like something out of borat. >> yeah. they shut down a, an airport. they shut down, they were all in front of a hotel protesting because they'd heard that there was a jew. it was really sort of that whole, you know, throw the jew down the. well yeah, yeah. sacha baron cohen thing is, i mean, terrifying. really? yeah. yeah it wasn't me. yeah, i was here. >> okay. we've got the times now and a muslim political organisation is encouraging votes for anti—semitic, pro—hamas terrorists , pro—hamas terrorists, sympathisers. apart from that, i'm sure they're lovely guys, though. josh. >> yeah , well, they put out >> yeah, well, they put out a tweet earlier and then they deleted it, basically saying that they were going to punish laboun that they were going to punish labour. and it was a 25 year old war. yeah, that would have went. no, it wasn't a great language. >> it's sort of implying that, you know, the islamist plan for britain is like lebanon, where, you know, they're going to take a formerly christian country and turn it muslim and have a big civil war. >> so a muslim campaign group
2:22 am
backs election candidates who justify october 7th atrocity. so essentially, the rest of the article is just listing a lot of anti—semitism of all of the people that this that are being backed by this, the muslim vote, self—declared and, but the crazy thing, what we've also seen is other mp well, other people going but there are mps who are doing this who are sort. did you see that leaflet that was just like all in the kind of the palestinian flag colours . i palestinian flag colours. i think it was for a labour candidate and i've seen but a few people have done it. green candidate. and it's like, why? as someone said on twitter, they've never seen a campaign for elections before in the colours of another country. yeah. like it's it makes very little sense to me. i mean, first of all, this is happening makes total sense. they want to win. they want to win in their area. that does. but but i mean, the fact that this is happening in plain sight, obviously is what you're saying. and i agree with that. what makes little sense to me is this is unprecedented. people are
2:23 am
winning elections in this country by elections, local elections, general elections, possibly on the basis of something that's happening elsewhere. this isn't going on anywhere else. you know, somewhere in gaza. no one's winning an election based on it's not even going on in like genocide is not going on in gaza. so it's an imaginary narrative about what's going on in another place. >> it's almost as if we've sort of imported loads of people without really thinking what the ramifications could be. and now they've brought a lot of baggage with them. as soon as they set foot on british soil, it didn't suddenly become, you know, british citizens with british values. and now they're now they're a political force in this country. and they're we're seeing we're seeing it happening in front of us now. we are. >> and what what is potentially frightening about it is they are still quite a small minority. the muslim population in the uk is much smaller than the christian population, 6 million, i think. i think it's 4 million. all right. so is below 10% which is still significant. but my point is 6. if, if, if we were energised in terms of,
2:24 am
traditional british valued oriented people were energised in the same way we were, this wouldn't be an issue. yeah. and the problem we've got is that whenever it's spoken about in the media, particularly outside of this studio, it's seen as racist. it's seen as anti—something rather than pro—british . yeah. and that's pro—british. yeah. and that's the biggest problem we've got here until until people feel comfortable to talk about this, you are going to get this situation over and over, and you're going to get jewish people who are more and more terrified to live somewhere they've lived for generations. these people are talking about returning britain back to something like it wasn't what they're trying to return it back to. yeah. so we are either collectively deciding to go in this direction, or we are going to stand up and say, hey, look, you're entitled to your views, but that's not how we're going to operate. well, i'm saying that i believe that that is the best thing that's happened with this is that it's come out in the open. it is out in the open now. and i think that it is important that we see that how people are going to vote along these crazy sort of almost
2:25 am
sectarian lines. yeah. yeah, sectarian lines. yeah. yeah, sectarian lines. yeah. yeah, sectarian lines and, and i think now we can actually start talking about this as an issue without automatically getting called racist . called racist. >> we've got the guardian now as well, reporting on a successful initiative to clamp down on housing benefit fraud and somehow spinning it as unsuccessful because it's the guardian , the newspaper of guardian, the newspaper of choice for benefits fraudsters. paul dwp algorithm wrongly flagged 200,000 people for possible housing benefit fraud. >> now this is in association with the big brother watch, which always immediately spikes my attention. i'm like, what's the big brother watch? and of course i understand my favourite tv show. yeah, exactly. it's a civil liberties and privileges, privacy campaign group already disliked them. you know, they're not interested in my civil liberties, let's put it that way. and it means that thousands . but it does mean that thousands of uk households every month have had their housing benefit claims unnecessarily investigated based on a faulty judgement, and they're trying to, invoke, the postal, scandal
2:26 am
here. it feels to me. and interestingly, it's all about the framing, this story. we are very much reliant on technology . very much reliant on technology. i am with them on this. we are so over reliant on technology , so over reliant on technology, this will happen. but technology bnngs this will happen. but technology brings efficiencies and savings in terms of taxpayers money. so there is a balance there. what they try and say and they will do because the tories have been in power for so long, is this is an inherently tory issue . in an inherently tory issue. in three weeks time, this will become an inherently labour issue. and they're going to have instead of blaming government, we've got to get round the table and start talking about what it is we should be doing. but the actual the actual case here. >> so the algorithm, they're seeing this algorithm wasn't accurate in catching people because only, only around 40% of the people that it sifted, it turned out to have committed benefit fraud. but an algorithm isn't going to be absolutely precise. it'sjust isn't going to be absolutely precise. it's just narrowing the amount of people you look at. it's narrowing the pool, making it more likely that , you know, it more likely that, you know, you're going to look at those people. and for every pound that was spent on this, on this
2:27 am
initiative, the taxpayer saved two, £2.70. so, i mean, it's incredibly successful in terms of value for money. >> unclear on on that in terms of, how many, how much wastage there was in terms of how much there was in terms of how much there was in terms of how much there was a sort of 30% of people who who were totally innocent and, and it was there's a question i know it says that they say if you i, you know, i used to work in analytics. >> so if you've got if you've got an algorithm to, to search for it. and we looked at car insurance fraud for example. so you've got certain things you look at similarities . if look at similarities. if everybody's claiming from similar sounding email addresses and all this kind of thing, then there are red flags that pop up and, and you know, not not all of those ones are going to be, fraudulent, but you're just creating like, you're getting a pool of the most likely ones, and then only 40% of them as, as, as here, only 40% are going to be actually guilty of fraud. but you've narrowed the pool down to. >> well, i mean, the question
2:28 am
is, if they could narrow it more . they said here the pilot showed it was 64, but in reality it was more like 37. so there's still wastage in the fact that this program that has had millions invested in it wasn't as good as it thought, but it's still a hugely successful initiative portrayed as unsuccessful by the guardian because they're communists? well, no, but there are there are some other issues here, because when these , these things because when these, these things were brought in for, for other claimants, the problem is when they then in this case, they investigated people on the basis of it. yeah. but when they actually were cutting people's, un and it turned out wrongly . so un and it turned out wrongly. so claimants who hadn't done anything wrong at all that was anything wrong at all that was an issue that happened in january. and that's obviously another. >> there's a separate issue to. >> there's a separate issue to. >> but but you know, the people here who need it who who they were flagged. they had to , were flagged. they had to, provide a lot of evidence over the phone and digitally. i'm not saying, oh, they had to provide evidence before they got money. >> oh, what a shame. why don't we just give them big truck loads of money? >> why have we just a constant money funnel? >> it could be any bludger who
2:29 am
wants to come along and just start sucking up at the trough. infinite amount of taxpayers money. tell you what. i've got an idea. how about nobody? nobody gets any of this money and you get a job. >> what about some of these people who actually need that money? and that money helps them, and they find people on sky tv? what a human being you are . are. >> steve kurtz anyway, we're at a halfway point. stay with us for jk rowling getting stuck forjk rowling getting stuck into the labour party. are the green party supremacists now? find out
2:32 am
welcome back to headlines. we've got the telegraph now in a virtue signal went wrong for a green party candidate . as an green party candidate. as an attempt at worshipping. diversity was whiter than a klan . meet josh. >> yeah. green party co—leader deletes photo of windrush celebration showing only white people . and they put it up people. and they put it up online. yeah, we've got the.
2:33 am
okay. so yeah, that's not that's not. yeah. here's the point. another bunch of white people. so there's a bunch of white people and, and people criticised, the tweet and the windrush generation was coming from the caribbean. >> well, exactly. so you'd expect at least maybe 1 or 2. >> well, you know what? i don't want . we do need anybody there want. we do need anybody there who was, from the caribbean. the point is, it's celebrating the contribution of people from the canbbean contribution of people from the caribbean to the uk. >> why do you why wouldn't you invite somebody from the canbbean? >> okay, maybe, maybe maybe they maybe they did. but the point is, why not only caribbeans have to celebrate? no white people, white british people can also celebrate the contributions of, no, this . no, this. >> well, this totally plays into all my suspicions about the green party and modern metropolitan lefties like josh who virtue signal. >> i didn't stick on the phone. i just think i don't know why they deleted it. i think it's a totally fine photo. >> they're all like, oh my god, i'm so non—racist and diversity is so great, but they don't actually have any black friends. >> yeah, they fall on their own sword here slightly, aren't
2:34 am
they? that's what's happened. josh is right, you know. why can't. we're in westminster now, today, was was a celebration outside for windrush. it was 90% white people in the centre of london celebrating , whatever london celebrating, whatever they were celebrating. >> carnival at the end of it. >> carnival at the end of it. >> that would have. it might have been different. however, it's is so interesting to me. this should just. this should have been a non—story. it's, you know, these these people still supported their cause, irrespective of what anyone else thought, they took a photograph that didn't take away from anything whatsoever , and then anything whatsoever, and then they just chose to focus on the colour of skin, which is anti the whole windrush scandal really, because the whole point is that back in the 60s, when they came over here, that they had to, you know, they, they worked very hard to integrate and our own government worked against them. and all of a sudden they said through anti—racism, they're becoming more and more racist on a regular basis. yeah. there is no problem with that photograph, as far as i can tell. obviously, i'm pro white people, but not in
2:35 am
a way that most people think am. >> i disagree with you because all the people in that photograph look very annoying. yes, we've got the independent now with the latest on the conservative betting scandal. apparently senior tories are turning on rishi sunak. this sounds like it could be another scandal itself. josh, totally. >> rishi sunak is under mounting pressure to intervene in the tory general election betting scandal with senior figures calling him to act. this is because it's one of those stories that is just been growing over the last week or so, and it came out and it seemed pretty funny and then the next person who was another aide came out, and it also seemed pretty funny. and now there's four people who are being investigated . yeah, still seems investigated. yeah, still seems really funny. >> and there's concerns there could be a cabinet minister involved, and they're not denying that there is a you know, the point is they're now saying that everyone should come out and say they're not, you know, what they're doing. >> i'm not i'm not the yorkshire ripper. you know, whatever it might, we've all got to come out and deny it. now we need dna. i mean, who doesn't miss, though? the tory scandals of old. i mean, all this stuff's ridiculous. where's the lewd affairs and the rent boys now ,
2:36 am
affairs and the rent boys now, all we've got is betting. yeah, betting on the general election . betting on the general election. >> he sure is that. the tories are now the party of the common man. because this is exactly what mere enema mates would do if we. you win the election. >> but you know what? there's something to that in that rishi sunak, the reason he didn't really predict this. someone said, i think it was, michael gove said that, that , that, you gove said that, that, that, you know, this is one this is like partygate and that also they kind of the tories are sort of throwing each other under the bus and saying that rishi sunak should he was in charge, he'd have responsibility. but this is exactly it. he wouldn't think to do it, but he's loaded and he wouldn't think to like put a punt on something like that. but this is what's happened. so now they're saying they need to check into like, the friends and the family. like if you look at the family. like if you look at the chart of like the voting, it's like the day before it went up, all these people. but i'm sorry. one more thing was picked up sorry. one more thing was picked ”p by sorry. one more thing was picked up by an algorithm by the way. oh, yeah, well, they're always perfect. but the other thing that's funny about this is, is that, i know now, i don't know
2:37 am
what it is . the only thing i was what it is. the only thing i was going to add is that the people in the know only bet £100. oh, yeah. if you're going to get if you're going to get your if you're going to get your if you're going to put your reputation and career at risk, do it for a grand. >> that's how little they trust rishi sunak there is nothing funny. >> on the day it was announced the election, all the tory cabinet members, everybody was like complaining that, oh, we didn't know . and this is like, didn't know. and this is like, this is the reason why they did. they're complaining about it. >> well, we've got the daily meal now with an example of a worrying trend for violence against politicians. this time it's labour's stella creasy poll. yeah. >> continuingly worrying trend. labour mp stella creasy, whose office is smashed and a malicious and malicious leaflets are circulated as she issues warning to culprits of anti—democratic attacks. so this is, still a, creasy and 47, she is, still a, creasy and 47, she is the walthamstow , mp. now, is the walthamstow, mp. now, i saw this and i thought north london labour. i wonder what the
2:38 am
motive could be. but but the mail here and quite disingenuously set about not providing any motive whatsoever and started talking about, old stories. she was famously the person who brought her baby into the houses of parliament and brought that up of no, no coincidence , because there have coincidence, because there have been recent attacks on offices like mike, mike freer , the tory like mike, mike freer, the tory mp, his office was, was attacked. >> i think it was an arson attack. and that was a sort of islamist. >> she was attacked in the past like, seriously, like she was death threats. the police had been involved before . but you're been involved before. but you're right to focus solely on this angle. like make it seem like it's somehow connected when what they what they didn't report , they what they didn't report, which is what the telegraph did, is it said, graffitied in front labour is, child bombing liars and genocide. it's like, oh, now we see. so there's the either an islamist or it's a far left crank. yeah yeah, there is a photo has been released . photo has been released. >> yeah, i think we've got the photo here so we can show it. so yeah, you can see the hammer attack on the window there.
2:39 am
yeah. >> so but she's saying quite clearly like, that we're not i'm not going to be cowed and that, that, that they're going to, investigate it and they should be prosecuted and go to jail and whatever, obviously , if it turns whatever, obviously, if it turns out to be an islamist, the police won't do anything. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we've got the telegraph now with a call to criminalise lying about military service. josh? yeah? >> police chief's call for stolen valour. offence to criminalise false meadows and medals . and this is after nick medals. and this is after nick adderley, who's a former the chief constable of northamptonshire. it turns out he was only 15. he had some medals from the falklands and he would have been 15 during the, dunng would have been 15 during the, during that war. >> she's getting extra medal for that. probably a boy scouts badge. >> but we used to have a law. >> but we used to have a law. >> we used to. >> we used to. >> yeah. we used to have a law in this country for exactly this offence. it got taken away in 2006, and now i don't really understand why it was taken away. lots of other countries have exactly this law and they should be bringing it back. it makes total sense. and they were going to but of course the government failed to do it. yeah. >> and i know that soldiers really don't like it when people. that's fair enough.
2:40 am
>> soldiers. i grew up in portsmouth and obviously the falklands was big for portsmouth. it was a it was a part of my early life. and this sort of thing is very much frowned upon. i don't know if we need to add in new laws. i get why you would want to. one thing i would say is nothing is going to overcome the shame that is now going to be placed upon this person. his reputation is dead. his career is dead. he won't be able to go anywhere. and if he did, if he was, saw any active service at all that's going to all be discarded now, because he clearly wasn't part of the falklands war. if he was at 15, they just didn't send, you know, it wasn't world war ii. they weren't desperate. they were sending fully grown, trained men out there. >> i mean, was it was it is it just like lying on a cv or is it like, you know, in the corner of a wetherspoons ? a wetherspoons? >> he's about he's arguing. it is like lying on a cv. but but the cv is whether you've gone to fight for your country and people that have done have lost their lives , you know, it's, their lives, you know, it's, it's undermining a whole thing. it's like me saying that, you know, i, i host bbc news at ten.
2:41 am
yeah no, you're in a much better show. >> but exactly. that's a terrible analogy, paul. yeah what have i done to myself in my career? >> there's much more risk attached to this. jul. >> good point. i don't know why i said it, but. yeah. carry on mate. sorry. well, we've got the telegraph again with a sign of changing times as a play is being cancelled for being anti—tariff instead of anti—trans. >> paul. fascinating >> paul. fascinating >> this it is from our perspective, that's for sure. edinburgh fringe venue threatens to pull play a debate about jk rowling's trans fans roar, so terf, as a show is called, examines the harry potter authors falling out with the stars of the film franchise following her public comments on genden following her public comments on gender. however, the play described as the most provocative to be staged at the fringe for years, is now at the centre of a deplatforming row over claims the venue has axed the show's this is what the fringe should be about. we're all part of the arts, right? i only joined the arts about ten years ago and it's the most welcoming place as long as you share the same view as everybody
2:42 am
out art, should you know it should attack the elites. it should attack the elites. it should open up dialogue about stuff. and that's exactly what this did. jk rowling was in a position as an elite, was in a position as an elite, was in a position of power, and decided to throw all that to the wind to fight for what she believed to be female rights. now we all agree with her. we absolutely all agree with her. no venue at all agree with her. no venue at a fringe festival i believe should have the right to look at any show and say i disagree with it. it shouldn't be on here. don't be part of the fringe. >> but seeing that i've been, i've had a tour cancelled because, because apparently i was transphobic or anything just because i was. and now it's interesting to see that people on the other side of the debate, the people who are probably phoning up to get me cancelled, are now themselves getting cancelled with their. and it shows the sort of echo chamber that the arts are that because the original title for the show was terf and then the worst word like the see you next tuesday word. and so it's interesting they they were going to even
2:43 am
even thinking of putting on this show that seems so hateful for someone who's received death threats, rape threats, and the tagline here, yeah, she had everything until it all went to hell in a broom basket. well, you know what? she still got everything. yeah, except now she's got the admiration of hundreds of thousands of people. and women for standing up for women's rights and children's rights . and history is the one rights. and history is the one who's going to be kind to her. i personally don't think they should, pull this show. i think it should go ahead . and i think it should go ahead. and i think people should see it. and if it is hateful, it should thus be exposed. >> you're just gonna have josh in the front row on his own. like no, i just think a slow clap or reviewing it, i'll be there with him. >> don't worry it. you know, there is an interesting story there. yeah, the story is interesting how she was arguably betrayed by these actors who she has made their careers. so betrayed by these actors who she has made their careers . so there has made their careers. so there is a really fascinating story. obviously it's not a sympathetic or this interpretation of that story is not sympathetic. but you know what? let's it's art. let's see what it's got. we see what it's about. >> good plan. well that's part
2:44 am
2:47 am
welcome back to headliners. we've got the star now with sex robots in space. i think i've seen this movie. josh >> me too. and, it was good. yeah yeah, why? nobody can hear you scream . you scream. >> you scream. >> why? >> why? >> astronauts need. they need them. space sex robots. and it's not just because they're randy. so this is a, maurizio balistreri , associate professor balistreri, associate professor of moral philosophy at university of toschia. toschia. oh, my god, my brains. well and he wrote in my favourite journal, which is the new techno humanities, that. yeah on on long term space travel, they're going to need some companions and that because and they have a scientific reason for this. because your blood like rises in
2:48 am
zero gravity zero g. it's going to go up to your head a lot. so they need something to bring it down sometimes. >> really. >> really. >> no. that's not going to be. but that is i feel like they were alluding to that in the article pumping blood through my body using this, this technique, like, like the hand—crank on an old water pump. >> oh , they're talking about a >> oh, they're talking about a lack of emotional support. >> and unfortunately for some people, they don't have to be sent to space not to have it. yeah, you know, they've got it at home. so if they're going to be dishing out sex robots and emotional support for astronauts, let's. >> yeah, let's have them here on earth as well. moving on. we've got the express now with a british airways cabin crew. whatsapp group group chat leaked. i will vote for any politician who makes it a criminal offence to leak jokes that are made in a group chat. paul >> good point. even though this feels like it was aimed at me, two british, two british airways cabin crew suspended for mocking colleagues. wait, so the pair alleged to have made comments on alleged to have made comments on a about a stewardess on a whatsapp group, as you said . but whatsapp group, as you said. but she wasn't a member. she was not
2:49 am
a member, which is which is important. so okay, obviously, you know, i understand it was the producer. >> it was the running group. >> it was the running group. >> yeah, exactly. yeah, it was the running group. i mean, i understand why this story was given to me, given the panel, and josh was part of the producing team, but the it says these cruel comments left us scarred to leave the and scared to leave the house. as you excuse this , i can't, i can't excuse this, i can't, i can't go. >> i've got to stay sitting on the couch. i'm overweight. >> she can't fit out the house. well, that's what i mean. i love i wasn't me who made that decision. it was a few of us on a whatsapp group talking about it. exactly. yeah. i mean, i can't go for that sort of stuff actually, where you can feel victimised but too scared to leave the house. yeah i'm a fat person as well. we're never too scared to leave the house. if you run out of biscuits, you are leaving the house. >> yeah. and also josh, i mean, she's 15 stone. so, you know, a bit of bullying could save her life. >> well, that's one way to look at it, but, i mean, this is it's an interesting one. it's. it doesn't say who. the people who did the bullying. were they men? women? gay straight, well, it's either a woman or a gay man,
2:50 am
isn't it? >> well, i'm just saying . but, >> well, i'm just saying. but, you know, there's an interesting thing here about bullying behind her back. yeah, her considerable back on. like what? just what? like, is it okay. like, should they have been suspended? no. if you make a comment about somebody behind someone's back then is it is it bullying? i guess if the tree falls, is the fat person falls in the woods and no one hears it? yeah. is it , is it? >> why did the ground shake, we're moving on. we've got the daily meal with a council saying england flags painted on the road can distract motorists. well, what about all the pride flags painted on the road? are they less distracting? josh, no , they less distracting? josh, no, they're they're all distracting. >> and there shouldn't be any painting on the road. as far as i'm concerned, apart from the israeli flag, no joke. killjoy. councillors are blasted by england fans after objecting to supporters painting the saint george cross on a roundabout. this is the, the one nil victory over serbia on sunday. we've got a photo of it now. the thing is, for me, this is a problem. it is
2:51 am
quite good. like in terms of nationalism. yeah, you've got the white already painted there. that's. it works. no, it doesn't, because it's a bit confusing. if i was driving around there, i'd be like, where am i? it would mess with me like it ruins the circular. did you drive? you drive a lot, didn't you?i drive? you drive a lot, didn't you? i drive a big driver. do you? i drive a big driver. do you think it's like a small a big time driver? >> do you think it's a small hospital? >> no, but it's like a little arrow pointing. >> i just get confused. i want my roundabouts to just be purely circular with no adornments. >> i would still recognise it as a roundabout. >> that roundabout is white. normally and someone's put some red across it in a cross. >> just stop oil. >> just stop oil. >> yeah, but it's, it's not confusing is it. >> yeah, but it's, it's not confusing is it . after these confusing is it. after these roundabouts, particularly as many roundabouts like this, they're completely worn away anyway because people just go straight over them. it's just a bit of you said a nationalistic, which, you know, is a word, but i would say it was patriotic. and we absolutely. we're scared of using patriotism at the moment. >> we have loads of pride crosswalks. you can't you can't walk 20 yards down the road without seeing some clown vomit all over the all over the road.
2:52 am
>> well, maybe what they should do with the zebra crossings is add like some some red stripes to it, or something, something like that. i just think that for me, health and safety, i'm health and safety first. you know what i mean ? know what i mean? >> that's a great idea. let's let's do that to zebra crossings. anyway, the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at monday's front pages. the telegraph has labour to rip up school trans ban.the labour to rip up school trans ban. the guardian leads with sunak urged to drop candidates as betting investigation widens. the daily mail has ten days left to stop disaster of a starmer superman authority. the financial times leads with conservatives lose a third of their voters since january, survey finds the i has tories questioned sunaks leadership as he resists calls to suspend betting scandal suspects . and betting scandal suspects. and the times says labour plan for changing gender with less evidence . and those were your evidence. and those were your front pages and that's it for tonight's show. thank you to josh howie and paul cox. we're back tomorrow at 11 pm. with different people by actually came out a bit.
