gb. news >> very good evening to you. you're with gb news. i'm sam francis. a look at the headlines at 11. well, in a blow to reform uk's campaign , a candidate has uk's campaign, a candidate has defected to the conservatives, saying he's become increasingly disillusioned with the behaviour and conduct of his party. liam booth isherwood says he's suspending his campaign and will instead support conservative maggie throup to. he says stop laboun maggie throup to. he says stop labour. the party's already withdrawn support for three candidates accused of making offensive comments, and one activist has been recorded

making a racial slur about the prime minister, rishi sunak. well, at an event in birmingham earlier, the party leader nigel farage claimed the campaigner was planted by channel 4 news as part of a smear campaign. but the broadcaster has denied those claims. >> this guy is a set up. he was acting from the minute he walked into that office. he came up with a stream of invective not seen since alf garnett was on the television in the early 19705, the television in the early 1970s, and some of it was , you 1970s, and some of it was, you know, turning moss in the wetherspoons. it wasn't even serious. it was nonsense. so i really feel that channel 4 or the production company need to be called before an inquiry. let's find out the truth about what happened . what happened. >> the prime minister insists an election victory for the conservatives is still possible, despite polls predicting a heavy defeat. rishi sunak warned today that labour's tax plans would bankrupt people in every generation , and also criticised generation, and also criticised their plan to make private schools pay vat, saying that taxing education is wrong.

labour says though its first steps in power would be restoring economic stability and cutting nhs waiting lists, the party continues to lead the tories in the polls by around 20 points ahead of next week's election. and in france , voters election. and in france, voters have given the far right national rally a strong lead in the first round of parliamentary elections today. exit polls tonight showing marine le pen has won , with president macron's has won, with president macron's centrist group trailing in third place with around 23. that's after his decision to call a snap vote earlier this month. turnout was also unusually high compared with previous elections. the largest turnout in 40 years. but experts say predictions after the first round can be highly inaccurate, with a week of political bargaining now lying ahead before the final results . and in before the final results. and in the us, the white house is pushing back tonight on reports that president biden had planned to discuss the future of his campaign with his family at camp david today. it's after a report

by nbc news that quoted several unnamed sources alleging that some senior party members are pushing for joe some senior party members are pushing forjoe biden to stand pushing for joe biden to stand aside following his performance in a televised debate against donald trump. but officials say that trip was planned before the debate, and they've denied there was any serious discussion about the president's standing down. police in tenerife have called off their search for the missing teenager, jay slater, today. the british tourist from lancashire was last seen in a mountainous area of the island, to according reports. that search operation has now finished, although police say the case does remain open. it comes just two days after a big push by search teams and expert volunteers to help find the 19 year old. and as i'm sure you've heard by now, england are through to the quarter finals of euro 2024, but only after an incredibly late comeback against slovakia to win two one. and as soon as the final whistle went , the fan zone final whistle went, the fan zone in wembley erupted with cheers .

in wembley erupted with cheers. well, jude bellingham equalised in the 95th minute, then captain harry kane headed home the decisive goal early in extra time, just 50s into extra time. england will now play switzerland in the quarter finals in dusseldorf on saturday, and those are your latest gb news headlines for now i'm sam francis. up next it's headliners for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> thank you sir. >> thank you sir. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your look at the next day's newspapers with three comedians. >> and for anybody who doesn't think gb news provides balance,

we've got three different types of far right extremists on the show . show. >> tonight, i'm leo kirsten. tonight i'm joined by paul cox. the people's gammon and nick dixon, the people's gaddafi. how are you loved by his people? >> yeah. yeah, exactly. >> yeah. yeah, exactly. >> died in a hole, i dare you. that's later a series six. okay let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. the times leads with french right wing humiliates macron. >> the daily mail has don't lock in labour for a generation. the telegraph has le pen. i have wiped out macron . the guardian wiped out macron. the guardian has labour can stem populist threat by improving lives, says starmer. cami, my heart breaks when tories turn to reform. and finally, the daily star has ye jude, and those were your front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages,

starting with the daily star poll. >> yes, the england game and yay judein >> yes, the england game and yay jude in the daily star. hell of a goal by bellingham. and now i was i was trying to watch the game as as i was coming on to set to do free speech nation and i saw the goal and it was it was roy of the rovers stuff. nick. so this is a football story. it's a football story. leo we'll leave this to nick and ike as, we know the football stuff and don't know about football or don't know about football or don't care. >> well, it's not a real sport like tossing the caber. that is true. >> what you do on your own time, mate. it's up to you. >> there is a political angle, though, because people say southgate's woke. yeah. for 95 minutes of this match i thought, right, southgate has actually been hired to quash nationalism and stop the rise of reform uk. that's the only explanation of how you take such a gifted team and make them play so badly and so boringly. yeah, but then it got to 95 minutes. 95 minutes. bellingham scores an overhead kick. it was one of the great goals. it was like an actual great moment for those old enough. it was like platt versus belgium 1990. it was it was it wasn't an amazing moment. paul

beautiful moment. >> and, yeah, i think, you know, i don't want to i don't want to take away from that moment. because then we went on and kane scored in extra time to make it two one, and we basically scraped past a team that were were better than us for the majority of the game. in slovakia. and we probably ought not to forget that, because my worry with southgate is he'll now this will now validate his planning. >> yes, that is the worry. that is the worry because we still have problems. we've got no left back. still luke shaw's injured. we've got no one at left back. >> we're getting into real bonng >> we're getting into real boring football. >> but when palmer came in it made a massive difference. now this is going to be the show. from now on. we're doing a football show. just didn't we tell you a football show is replacing headliners sports. >> people always talk this absolute nonsense like, oh, the boy's got a lot of pace. >> what does any of it mean? none of it means anything. >> do you think, do you think reform or some of the more patriotic parties that don't want to destroy britain might get a boost from the sea of waving flags? >> i saw farage saying, come on, england, i think, i think they will genuinely, genuinely crossed my mind. >> southgate might be containment to try and keep it, you know, don't let me get too happy because we've got to a final last time. they're like, make sure they don't win it right. that's a great point.

well brexit again that was the message from team world. moving on. what's in the front cover of the telegraph nick. so the telegraph have le pen. i have wiped out macron. very bold words. she says she's practically wiped out macron. she got 34.5% of the vote versus the new popular front who are left. he's got 28.5. are macron's together coalition 22.5. so you just got absolutely destroyed. so he came third it seems that way. and from the telegraph article i know it's shocking stuff. i mean i hope that's right because i've just. no, no, it's i hate to give out misinformation on the telly and be louis schaefer, but the point is she's destroyed macron. he took he took the snap election. it's backfired. unless you believe the theory that he wants to just go and do a job for the un or nato or something, or he he wants to just get out of that seems to be the career progression for all politicians. yeah, i think rishi is eyeing his next job at facebook or whatever it is, but and she says she wants an absolute majority in the second round because this is weird french system i don't understand. well, yeah. so this is the first round. so i mean this this could i mean the smaller parties which actually now includes macron's party, they could , they could tell they could, they could tell their voters to support the, the

new popular front to support the hard left. i mean, the new popular front. i'm surprised people aren't more alarmed. i know there's a lot of alarm on the left that le pen's party has done so well, but they're actually, you know, more of a sort of meloni style, sensible right wing party now, whereas the new popular front seemed to be raving maniacs who are communists and anti—semites and all kinds of all kinds of, and they did they did really surprisingly well. so they could still , if other surprisingly well. so they could still, if other parties get behind the new popular front, we could see a very different france to the one that le pen. >> once you've misread the room for about 25 years, leo, extremism only occurs on the right of politics. it does not occur on the left of politics. there is no form of extremism on left. you cannot go left far enough. i don't know where is the nth degree of the left by the nth degree of the left by the way, jordan peterson said that he's like, where does the left go too far. >> no one's answered that because it's a good point, neil mates, because the story is always like, oh, the populist right is rising in europe. but actually the real story is of polarisation. the centre is

being destroyed and the two poles. well, yeah. and some people have criticised macron for sort of, you know, just colonising that centre ground. so there's no there's no centrist alternative to, to macron. so people are looking either to the, to the right or to the left. there's another story on there, that's quite interesting saying putin is hoping for a labour victory. i mean , that's that's different mean, that's that's different from you know, we've been told that, you know, putin is probably hoping for a reform. yeah. >> first, the times come out supporting labour and then putin comes out this afternoon and says i too will be supporting laboun says i too will be supporting labour. and of course, you know, the message behind this, i think, is that there is a there's a certain weakness about sir keir starmer and his labour party that putin might just take advantage of. nick, do you think it's just weakness? >> it's also specifically about defence spending because pat mcfadden did it. was it laura kuenssberg? he couldn't come out with any commitment about defence spending. so sunak is saying they're going to cut defence spending and embolden our enemies. and labour haven't got a sort of robust rebuttal to that yet. right. interesting. so i'm surprised putin's not supporting the green party. moving on to the i newspoll,

what have they got uk, uk heading for stagnation after election. >> labour and tories told dozens, dozens of economists, economic economists sorry warn that warn rishi sunak and keir starmer are full are failing to offer a serious plan to grow the uk economy. and i don't think anyone could disagree with this. i mean, we are in many ways heading into stagnation , but i heading into stagnation, but i have not seen from the tories or labour a single policy that would help me or anyone else understand how they're going to turn the corner , how they're turn the corner, how they're going to rebuild. in fact, within reforms contract. the only thing that i've seen that's economically sound politically is this, you know, no tax below 20 grand business because it gets people back into work . gets people back into work. outside of that, i have not seen anything. well, maybe , maybe 14 anything. well, maybe, maybe 14 years of the tory party have shown labour that they don't need to have any sound economic ideas. >> they can just be like the tory party. >> well, this is what we're seeing though, aren't we? the

uni party all in action here. and i do do worry, genuinely worry how this is going. because of course we're going to have a labour party in power come the end of next week. that is almost inevitable now. but what does that mean? because once the celebrations have died down and we're all mandatory trans people , what are we going to do ? , what are we going to do? >> but, nick, i mean, the issue is that, you know, no matter who gets in, if labour gets in, if the tories get in, even if reform get in, there's going to be economic stagnation. just because of the way our economy is structured. we've got an ageing population. i mean, the pension fund is going to be the state pension fund is going to be unserviceable in a few years. yeah. >> we've got the ageing population, we've got debt, we've got the, the legacy of lockdowns. >> we've got we've got we have inflation problems. you can't do what liz truss did. that's proven you'll get destroyed if you do that. yeah. and it's interesting that, i was listening to the wahaca podcast with dominic cummings. that's the kind of thing i do on my weekends. paul. and, and he's like a silicon valley sort of guy, this guy. and he was saying britain has just had terrible economic growth and terrible

productivity since about 2008. you don't hear about it that much. and as you say in the election campaign, we're not heanng election campaign, we're not hearing about that. but on the global perspective, apparently we're not doing too well with the old productivity. yeah, yeah. and throughout the developed world, productivity has plummeted ever since welfare started. you know, being being pumped, it's almost as if like giving people money to sit around doing nothing harms productivity . and we're productivity. and we're finishing off this section on the guardian. nick. yeah, this is quite interesting. labour can stem populist threat by improving lives, says starmer. it's a good idea in it improving lives. but let's see what he means. he says he's talking about, well, first he talks about, well, first he talks about a toxic, divisive culture. he wants to end, which i always think is a bit of nonsense. it's like trying to claim that the other side is causing a culture war. but of course, that's not. we all know labour are going to do loads of stealth, incredibly radical things on the side, so i just don't believe that. but the other part is, he says, it's no good saying, well, i don't like the rise of populism and nationalism. you have to understand why that's happening. and that is key. and we've seen it in europe as well. if you can't grasp and absorb the populist , the genuine part of populist, the genuine part of the populist message, the

immigration is a serious problem and things like that, you will be destroyed. i think starmer and blair behind him are at least smart enough to recognise that. least smart enough to recognise that . so, you know, you that. so, you know, you occasionally see them come out with some quite tough stuff on immigration. you're talking about sending back people to bangladesh the other day, but if they don't do these kind of things, they will become irrelevant. yeah. and it's probably just talk. it's like when rishi sunak says , i'm going when rishi sunak says, i'm going to stop the boats. what it really means is i'm going to let 50,000 more of them in and then get voted out. >> i'm really starting to see the cynicism of the, conflation of populism and nationalism. right? populism is not bad . right? populism is not bad. imagine top of the pops without populism, right? you know, imagine what that would look like. john peel show. yeah, exactly . imagine what that would exactly. imagine what that would look like. populism is giving the people what they want . so the people what they want. so essentially you're saying don't give the people what they want. nationalism has now been has now been painted as this great far right, joyful thing that we all wander around beating our chests saying, only white english people should live here. that's a load of nonsense as well. see you in the dressing room. that was. look that was one off. but

but if you conflate those two things, then the left can really use that against you. yeah, those two things shouldn't be conflated. they are cynically in order to produce this sort of dynamic we see within politics now, and the idea that nationalism is bad, it it only invokes sort of nazi germany, doesn't it? but. >> well, yeah, nationalism is bad until we go to war with russia. and then all of a sudden people will be like, oh, don't you want to die for your country? don't you want to, you know, don't you think your country is worth fighting for? and it's like, well, actually, we've had several decades of being told that we're not allowed to feel any, any connection to our country. and also, i mean, starmer, for all that labour criticise populism, criticised nationalism. starmer isn't afraid of flying the british flag, but it seems to be at odds with what labour actually stand for and what labour actually believe. it's quite interesting to see, and i'd say that's the more cynical, populist plastic patriot he's been called. yeah yeah. >> and who could deny that he's not? i mean, who knows what he believes. >> yeah. yeah. well, i believe he's quite patriotic as the rest

of the story. the rest of the party i worry about. anyway, that's the front pages done. join us in part two as we delve deeper into the papers. with glastonbury celebrating illegal immigration. and just when you thought things couldn't get worse for britain, there's

welcome back to headliners with me, leo carson. a panel made up of paul cox and nick dixon, who is still recovering from his trip to the westminster studio. kicking off this section with the. no one will get that at home. yeah, i don't know. i didn't write that in myself, kicking off this section with the times and keir starmer wants to repeat tony blair's trick of being backed by the sun, although it might lose him some votes in liverpool poll. >> yes, that's true. labour wants endorsement from the sun after getting backing off murdoch's sunday times, much to the surprise of some people. i think murdoch's flagship sunday broadsheet has endorsed sir keir starmer, but insiders say it was more about the anti—tory mood than any support for labour.

and, you know, labour have sort of enormous lead in the polls. they've had an endorsement from elton john, which is apparently the kingmaker. i mean, they're just getting greedy now. they've got a i don't know why. i mean, obviously back in the day, to get backing from the sun really did mean something and perhaps it would do now, but i think the readership is quite down also. do they need it? do they really needit do they need it? do they really need it ? i do they need it? do they really need it? i wonder do they need it? do they really need it ? i wonder with the sun need it? i wonder with the sun whether they're holding back slightly. my theory on that is that the sun readers, a lot of them are likely to vote. reform. yeah and, if the sun go for laboun yeah and, if the sun go for labour, they might see a drop in readership. >> yeah, that's that's interesting. i mean, this is really one of the first elections that mainstream media isn't going to have as much of an impact as social media. i mean, all the all the other, platforms. have podcasts and, and youtube channels that are far more have far more viewers than actual mainstream media or

mainstream newspapers. that is a good point. i mean, call me naive and idealistic, but i found the whole thing a bit weird that the a set of paper or a set of newspapers backs the government. shouldn't they be holding them to account? is that is that too old fashioned to think the media should sort of hold it? i mean, it's a bit weird, isn't it? maybe they start doing that once they're elected. maybe. but it seems a bit weird to me. and also this idea that, it's the right time for labour to be entrusted with restoring competence to government. this is a dangerous assumption. no actually knows that labour are going to be competent . they just know the competent. they just know the tories are incompetent. but why do we think rachel reeves is going to be great at managing the economy? she doesn't even know what a woman is. well, she may have learned in the last few years. well, the we well, it should help the gender pay gap. but the way it was phrased in the economist they're backing labour but it was more like it sounded like they wanted to back labour to give the tories a few years to get their house in order so they could come back in and run the country properly. so, you know, we sort of need a caretaker. that's interesting. >> wait, i'm confused because you said we're not sure that labour are going to be competent. have you not seen the

celebrity endorsements? >> that's you're right, elton john. >> and there were people that said they've met keir starmer and he's a nice man, nice bloke. so i mean i really don't know what more you need. >> you're right. it's all a bit, it's all a bit sort of weird, isn't it? if you've watched succession, i've been rewatching it for the 8,000,000th time. >> and, brian cox said that who's meant to be a kind of murdoch character refers to the president of the united states as the raisin, meaning the california raisin. that's total contempt for him. it's a bit weird. that sort of our media people have total contempt for our politicians, sort of treat them like puppets. having said that, if murdoch ever buys gb news, i just want to say he's a great guy. i love the whole family. i was just using an example of satire . okay, we've example of satire. okay, we've got the daily meal now, and the glastonbury festival crowd celebrated illegal immigration, even though glastonbury has a very secure border fence and anyone, anyone who enters illegally is removed by security. nick. yes, and some people apparently got past it and it was chaos recently , so and it was chaos recently, so who'd have thought? yeah. so oliver dowden is really saddened by banksy's glastonbury inflatable migrant boat, saying traffickers putting migrants family's lives at risk is not

the sort of thing to joke around with. and oliver dowden is deputy prime minister in case someone's forgotten. it's quite easy to do. yeah, yeah. but yes, if anyone saw this, it was this migrant dinghy. it was during an idles gig. idles said they had nothing to do with it. they didn't even know about it, though they did have some fairly cnnge though they did have some fairly cringe lyrics. they've got lyrics about how mo farah is great and centrist dad kind of rubbish like that. we've got a picture here of the actual glastonbury, the glastonbury border. i mean, look at that big beautiful wall. i mean, yeah, trump. trump wishes he could have a border like that. that is the most secure you've got. you've got watchtowers like it's a concentration camp. you've got two different two different walls for people to get over. yeah, snipers powered by hemp. it's. yeah, it's completely absurd. and on this, this banksy thing, it was. this is an obvious point . yeah. it's going obvious point. yeah. it's going to be like, oh, look at the migrants on the dinghy. but yes. okay. it's an expression of concern for the actual migrants, but they are put there by ruthless criminals who don't care about their well—being. so the idea of a migrant dinghy, it is a strange image and it is very glastonbury . it's very very glastonbury. it's very virtue signalling and cosy. but what does it really mean? although the having this, inflatable migrant raft with

mannequins on it, they were the only brown faces in the crowd in the video that i saw. >> did they make the mannequins brown? >> yeah. yeah, they they had. so they'd they did brown face on the, on the mannequins. >> did they. well this is i mean it's accurate. >> they're not coming from sweden . sweden. >> well i can't see colour, leo. so i'm not sure what you're talking about, but, i mean, it was ignorant. and a lot of this is ignorant, though, isn't it? i mean, there is if you're going to pretend to know about the nuanced politics of the immigration issue, one of the best places to do it is at glastonbury festival, isn't it? i mean, they've all got an opinion on these things in much the same way we have, but then they're not their opinions are only informed by by what they read in the guardian. and nothing else. >> and it's and it's rank hypocrisy as well, because as we've just seen, they've got an extremely secure border around their festival. extremely secure border around theirfestival. if extremely secure border around their festival. if they really believed in open borders, why do they have just do away with the border altogether? because as nick mentioned, people were vaulting over the border fence and being apprehended by security, and the people at glastonbury were complaining

that there wasn't enough food and water to go around in the crushes and the crowds. there was too many people. it's like, well, that sounds a bit familiar. sounds like you're racist. sounds like the entire crowd at glastonbury is racist. it's four stages of shutdown due to overcrowding as fans panic in the crush. i know. imagine by the crush. i know. imagine by the way, it's so cringe now. glastonbury. they've got joe wicks doing exercise. i mean, it's good to do exercise, but joe wicks, it's not exactly edgy, is it? and the haters will laugh at me for saying this, but the real rock and roll event is the real rock and roll event is the reform rally. that was the real. that was far more ed davey bands, so many people there. well, farage was like a band. he's the real rock star and the people at glastonbury are just cnnge people at glastonbury are just cringe losers . and there was cringe losers. and there was more diversity at the reform rally as well. interestingly, moving on, the daily meal is we're covering it again with some warnings that the war in israel could lead to british followers of the religion of peace being extra super mega peaceful. poll >> yes, uk could be hit by a wave of home—grown jihadis, if british muslims are called anti—semitic after hamas terror attack on israel, scholars warn

sir doctor mohammed bin abdul karim al—issa secure the right name for it. yeah, he has indeed, secretary—general of the muslim world league. which i don't think england play in, couple of decades said, unwarranted suspicion of islam could drive moderate followers of the religion to form their hardline views that lead to terrorism. and i'm not going to be obtuse and pretend i don't know. i don't understand his sentiment. i understand exactly what he's saying. but the idea that we stop calling out discrimination to prevent discrimination, yeah, is not going to work. just so you know, mate, it's not going to work. why aren't, i don't know, neo—nazis treated like this? >> why aren't people like. oh, no, don't be mean to the neo—nazis because you might make you might make other people upset.i you might make other people upset. i mean, who does the pr? neo—nazis must be looking at islamists and being like , who islamists and being like, who does their pr? i wish we could get, you know, state funded, indoctrination camps .

get, you know, state funded, indoctrination camps. he. >> sorry, nick. i feel like i'm treading on your toes here, but he he he is definitely revealing something here. whether he means to or not. and that is that there is an element within the religion, and particularly the younger elements of the religion that could easily be turned. and that's what he's worried about. and for me , that's the issue. and for me, that's the issue. not pointing out that, you know, not saying , oh, you're not saying, oh, you're anti—semitic, because a lot of the stuff we've seen is anti—semitic . so calling them anti—semitic. so calling them anti—semitic. so calling them anti—semitic is actually a good thing. >> well, yeah, nick, we've got, i think as many as 40,000, islamic extremists on m15 watch lists, which is kind of terrifying. yeah. we've sort of ianed terrifying. yeah. we've sort of invited this, this ideology into our country, and now we're having to keep tabs on it. it is something like 90, 95% of the people on those lists, isn't it ? people on those lists, isn't it? despite what elements of the media say. >> yeah, it's i mean, it does it does sound a little bit like the blaming the woman for wearing the short skirt argument, isn't it? >> it's like, stop talking about the people being anti—semitic. you're i mean, it's it is a strange argument . i you're i mean, it's it is a strange argument. i mean, you're i mean, it's it is a strange argument . i mean, we've strange argument. i mean, we've heard the views ever since october 7th. it's been pretty clear that a lot of people do have these views, although a lot of the people, to be fair, are

just, lefty, posh students who aren't muslims as well. >> shout out to them as well. >> hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. well, we've got the daily mail again. and following his car crash debate with donald trump, it looks like joe biden might be stepping down. hope he doesn't fall down. those steps . fall down. those steps. >> well, no, we shall see. you can't step down as a standard left. stay left. yeah but biden will discuss major decision with his family as they return to camp david. that's not a fellow, by the way, as his campaign issues bizarre defensive defence of embattled president. so my guessis of embattled president. so my guess is that biden isn't going to be part of this discussion. my to be part of this discussion. my strong guess is that he hasn't been part of the discussion for quite some time . discussion for quite some time. i think. i discussion for quite some time. ithink. i mean, discussion for quite some time. i think. i mean, who is, by the way, is it is it joe biden? is it the obamas? you know, is it is it the magic eight ball? do you remember that in the movies? you know, just how do we run the country? i'd vote for that right now. but i really i really don't see him being part of that discussion. i'll be surprised, actually. genuinely surprised if they change now. yeah. because i think they're blinded by. >> well, yeah. nick, i mean, do

you think they've left it too late to, to change their yes candidate? they've left it very late and it's a very interesting moment because there's a rare split between the kind of left wing media and the democratic establishment. we had the new york times with a big headline basically saying, get rid of this guy . i'm basically saying, get rid of this guy. i'm paraphrasing the guardian in this country. and that's quite strange, the media really pushing to get rid of him. but the people close to him, you know, obama and others and obviously his wife, who apparently is running the country, they're very reluctant to get rid of him. and this guy, rob flaherty, who's his, campaign manager, he they're all like , sticking with him. and for like, sticking with him. and for the reasons you say, we saw what happened to the tories when you try and change leader too much, it is chaos. he's saying it'll be internal fighting chaos. and trump can do what he wants. what's also really interesting to me is trump's response. he put out a statement on truth social, which is incredibly moderate and soft, and he even said, oh, biden did a lot better on friday. so why? two reasons. one, trump wants to run against biden. well, that's the obvious. that's the obvious one. i mean, you can say one. and i think he was in the debate doing this, trying to not look too cruel because it plays badly. but yes, two, never interrupt your enemy when they make a mistake. he

wants to go against biden and he doesn't want to run against some young blood. he doesn't want gavin newsom or someone coming in who could actually give a boost to the to the democrats campaign, so yeah, we're at the half way point. but still to come, we've got nazi students farage hailed as a caesar and love island controversy. see you in a couple of

welcome back to headliners. we've got the telegraph now. and the historian mary beard says nigel farage will be the greatest british leader of all time and restored the empire. at least i think that's what she meant. that's pretty much it. yeah mary beard, nigel farage is today's julius caesar. so there you go. and caesar must have done something right. we're still talking about him, although that also applies to hitler, the point is. the point is farage is the new caesar. and actually, if you look at what she said, it is, it is quite reasonable. she says i dislike drawing crude lines between the past and today, but a lot of modern day populism is taken from the playbook of caesar.

caesar begins by saying, we're going to make rome great again. totally great stuff like that. and, so and she's saying that look , farage, it's a similar look, farage, it's a similar thing, like, i'm coming back because you need me and you want me to do it. so she's saying that's very similar. and she also says that that we have to look at ourselves, much like starmer was saying that other article though, if you actually believe him. but i believe mary beardmore, when she said, we've got to look at ourselves and say, is this something that we're not acknowledging that allows this populist uprising? and you know, and say there's an unmet need here and people might be surprised because she's a lefty. she was a corbyn fan, but there is some sense among the corbyn corbyn isotypes that he although he did get his chance as leader, that he doesn't really get allowed into the establishment either, especially now that he's been brutally kicked out of the party. and you see that on the galloway side, don't you? you saw galloway saying, i'll debate you, nigel, because we've been kept out of the debate. so yeah, i thought it was a very reasonable point that she was making. yeah, but i'm sort of reassured that the establishment keeps jeremy corbyn out of things. yeah. >> i mean, i read the whole thing , which is, you know, i thing, which is, you know, i don't normally do that. i just normally read the top lines, make up an opinion and say it

live on air. but it works for louis. yeah. it does. yeah he taught me actually, but i was, i was i read the whole thing because i was waiting for the catch because i don't suppose mary beard meant it to be quite as positive as it come across. that's that was that was my hunch with this, unless i'm seeing someone like julius caesar or any form of populism as not a bad thing, and she is. but the fact that she had caesan but the fact that she had caesar, although caesar is described as a as a populist, by her, i mean, when he said when her, i mean, when he said when he talked about, you know, making rome great again and draining the swamp and, you know, holding back the elites , know, holding back the elites, the elites had done a huge amount of damage to rome, both economically and, you know , the economically and, you know, the society of rome at that point. >> so caesar was right. he wasn't saying it to be. i mean, in my mind, a populist is somebody who kind of lies or presents a you know, a twisted version of the truth. but caesar was right. a lot of the issues that rome was facing and the issues that brought rome down are very similar to the issues that are currently bringing down western liberal civilisation, unless unless they've misquoted her. she is saying it's very

easy to be a comfortable member of the liberal elite and say it's all very vulgar, but look at the people who follow trump. who else has responded to him? so she's saying, we can't be complacent and that is like you say, they will fall like rome and it looks like it's the introspective view of it and saying, look, what is it? >> i don't like it, but what is it we're missing? yeah, is really important because there's not enough people doing that, you know, because because usually the problem is them. yeah and that is the issue. and someone like mary beard to be able to say that for me is really, really interesting. >> okay, we've got the mirror now with the shocking revelation that some students have a sense of humour . of humour. >> pol unbelievable story. story tory students filmed dancing to sick nazi anthem at posh bash . sick nazi anthem at posh bash. so we're sneering at them already. and, footage from a black tie event hosted by the warwick university conservative association top chat shows revellers dancing to erica, a 1938 song beloved by white supremacists. now it was a prank. yeah, and they're at pains to say, look , we had a we

pains to say, look, we had a we had a playlist. it wasn't on our playlist. there was a rogue request. the dj didn't understand what it was. it was prank. >> it sort of feels like another setup. so somebody snuck in and said to the dj, oh, put this on. and then film films them dancing. >> i mean, the optics aren't great, aren't they? if we if, for instance, it was the it was the labour equivalent or the momentum equivalent, and they were dancing to some russian soviet song of their choice, i believe they do. >> they do play the soviet anthem at the labour party conference, where, you know that song doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. i didn't go this year, but i imagine, it's quite funny. this is the tory association is saying they'll be they'll exclude anyone who knowingly engaged with the song. what does that mean to engage? if you just heard a song and you're dancing, you're. yeah, you're all right. i love that they changed the chant to kill the hughes. we've all wanted to do that with posh people, aren't we? like, that's. that's what i hear when i hear that. it'sjust that's what i hear when i hear that. it's just all these posh hughes running everything. i'm sick of them. yeah. you know what's refreshing about this is this doesn't apply to reform uk

for once. but if it did, it'd be a much bigger story, wouldn't it? this will get forgotten . but it? this will get forgotten. but if this was reform, it'd be the end for farage. everyone would be saying, yeah, we've got the guardian now reporting on how britain's lack of babies could hammer the economy. i mean, i guess it might help if the guardian didn't constantly print anti—family propaganda. nick. yes, you're right, that is probably one factor. and they've gone with the baby bust. how britain's failing birth rate is creating alarm in the economy. of course it's a massive, massive issue. they talk about the long term decline in europe , the long term decline in europe, parts of asia, south america, the us. of course, this is a trend amongst economically developed countries. israel is an outlier . developed countries. israel is an outlier. paul mullins has talked about this, he's the expert on this. he's talked about the trilemma we're facing, which he calls egotism, which he just just means, in this case, not having children, being selfish. and he's not trying to be too pejorative. it's just convenient, economic growth and ethnic continuity. and he says you can have two, but not three. i've said this before. sorry. if anyone has heard me say this, but japan, for example, has gone for ethnic continuity and egotism, as he calls it. but they've lost the economic growth. we've got the economic growth. we've got the economic growth. we've got the economic growth. we lose a sort of ethnic continuity. so that's the

argument. and it is it is a massive issue because it's behind all of the issues. you could argue immigration is almost the issue, but then what's what allows the politicians to say, oh, we need massive immigration. it's low birth rates. yeah. but they have one point to it as well. because when you know, people move to this country, the price of property goes up and the pressure on wages, wages are pushed down. so then people are competing with everybody in the world for, for wages and competing with the richest people for for, property. and then you get cost of living being the other big thing when people are talking about the cost of living, what they really mean, a lot of the time is i can't afford a family and that's what this article is very much about. it's like, how do you afford a family as a sort of ordinary person and like you say, leo, there's also things like the left, sort of there's a climate change panic, and there's all these factors discouraging having children. and you could even argue it gets a bit theoretical. you could even argue the liberal global managerial state, by its nature , managerial state, by its nature, replaces the bonds of family with the state. but that's getting a bit too big for the scope of this show. yeah. and do you think technology could save the west because advances in al

and robots were being told that, you know, we'll be able to have robots doing a lot of the manual laboun >> oh, i thought we were going to have to make love to robots to have to make love to robots to increase the child. are making. >> in fact, i think the sex robots that that field of ingentuis robots that that field of ingenuity is way out ahead of all the other ones . because if all the other ones. because if there's one thing that people like, it's, putting their bits in things. >> yes. stop looking directly at me, leo, it's interesting because the approximate , birth because the approximate, birth rate at the moment is 1.5. it's been slightly lower than that. it's been slightly higher than that. and the ideal birth rate is, is 2.1. yeah. and previous stable population or a stable population say 2.5 really. >> but gone. >> but gone. >> yeah. exactly. no. and that's my point. well almost one child out in terms of the average per couple. so we are lagging far behind. now do we have a cost of living crisis or do we have an overpopulation crisis, a lot of people will lean on this being,

and forget that we do have a population issue in this country anyway. and it's if you start look, we might this might be the average. but if you look at the, the, cultural groups that are having babies and not having babies now, it's not evenly spread across all demographics. i wouldn't say it was. yeah, that's what i was going to say. i wasn't going to i wasn't going to say it was one particular group around this. yes. but what you end up with is a change in the demographic, a change in the culture, and it feels like it's on the way. >> yeah. and also i think there's already a change in our culture with a lot of unhappy people who to be honest, haven't had kids myself. they'd be happy if they had kids. having kids is great. like if you read the guardian you'll hear that. oh it's terrible. oh, no. just have martinis with the girls, be single, be a complete promiscuous drug using, you know , degenerate. but if you have kids, it's the most soul enriching, funnest, best thing in the world. yeah. no, you're living proof that having kids makes you happy. and i'm living proof that not having them makes you unhappy. just perfect. yeah, exactly. we've got the teams

now, and the british museum plans to raise money by charging foreign students, foreign tourists . it's a foreign students, foreign tourists. it's a bit foreign students, foreign tourists . it's a bit unfair, tourists. it's a bit unfair, considering it's their stuff to begin with. paul. >> good point. the plan to shore up the british museum , make up the british museum, make overseas visitors pay £20 so tourists should have to pay to visit the british museum, according to the director brought in to restore the institution's reputation after the theft scandal last year , the theft scandal last year, which we covered quite a lot. so this is sir mark jones and he believes that institutions should refrain, from charging british visitors and foreigners under 25. now what do i feel about this? it feels like two things are being conflated here as well. you've got the british museum issue, and we had this scandal last year where there was a lot of theft going on. >> this was stuff being stolen from the back rooms and being sold on ebay. i mean, why don't they just put a tax on the stuff that's being sold on ebay? nick and then they could cover it. i didn't think about that. it's a good idea, leo, i recommend whatever you just said, but my

thing is, museums are boring, right? i mean, who wants to go to them anyway ? they've got a to them anyway? they've got a nice atmosphere i like. i find them boring , but foreigners, them boring, but foreigners, dinosaurs, foreigners should definitely pay, though. that's that's my view. so that's my considered. beyond that, you just saw an opportunity to be mean to foreigners. anyway, just the final section to go with a dad who's been eating the same block of cheese for ten years. it's not me. and we'll explain how people are avoiding getting caught by number plate cameras, which is very bad, and you shouldn't do it. but we're

welcome back to the final section of headliners. the times now. and drivers are using tncks now. and drivers are using tricks to avoid number plate recognition cameras. paul, this is really bad. please tell us how they do this so we can all make sure we don't do it by accident. >> let's make sure we definitely don't do this. drivers full enforcement cameras with £10 number plates bought online to

drivers are using a doctored number plates brought online to trick cameras enforcing clean air and congestion zones , as air and congestion zones, as well as tracking speed, speeding motorists . so they use a they motorists. so they use a they use a tint essentially , yeah, a use a tint essentially, yeah, a treatment that involves tints that can make it impossible for certain types of camera to read the number. >> there's another one of the techniques. so you can spray this tint on your on your number plate. it makes it sort of reflective or something. the cameras can't pick it up, even though to the to the naked eye it looks, it looks like a just like a number plate. yeah. >> i mean, the contrarian in me lap solutely loves this. there are certain cameras that i have no issue with them avoiding whatsoever. but, you know, we're parents, leo. and the idea of people speeding around schools and stuff does make me a little bit nervous. you know, speeding kills and we don't want people to get away with murder. >> speeding is bad. but i once got charged £60, a £60 fine for being like three minutes over in a supermarket car park. and it was sickening . yeah, yeah, was sickening. yeah, yeah, that's a lot to a scottish person. i mean, this is look, people are trying to avoid ulez

charges by buying plates for as little as £10 on amazon, so don't do that. ulez is a great thing. it helps generate revenue for sadiq khan's overhaul of and for sadiq khan's overhaul of and for a more inclusive london. absolutely which is a good thing. the independent, now with a controversy over love island, the tv show that's killed more healthy young people than pfizer. nick. wow love island stars are being mocked over botox and fillers. women just can't win over beauty standards. i've always said that. and now the independent is saying the same. and, botox is a funny one. there's basically they got a plastic surgeon. he was trying to guess their ages and he was sort of way out. they were like 25 and he was guessing 38. because weirdly, if you've seen a lot of these pictures, this has been going around on twitter quite a lot. women who are in their 20s get botox and they look 40. but weirdly, women who are older, like 50 look 40. >> so it's like it just seems to bnng >> so it's like it just seems to bring down the old. >> there seems to be a good age to get it, but an age to definitely not get it. yeah, everybody just looks the same. it's kind of scary if you want to look permanently 38, which for me would look fine. >> but if you're 20, if you're

21, i mean, i have never got it. the whole duck thing. yeah. like a couple of inflatable boats on their face. what is going on? >> it's not. the weird thing is, it's not for men, is it? it's either for their career, weirdly, or for other women . weirdly, or for other women. because men don't actually like this stuff. and they always go, why are you doing it? and it becomes almost like a fad, like, you know, a social contagion that because they're all getting it, they all get it, and it's something to do, and it's something to do, and it's something to do, and it's something to spend money on. and women love having something to do and something to spend money. everyone has to get bigger and bigger lips. yeah, yeah. literally inflation rate. we've got the sun now with the secret to sexual attraction. i suppose a good start is probably not having a rolled up copy of the sun under your arm. nick. yes, that's true . it's from smell to that's true. it's from smell to sweat and blood. >> the secrets behind magnetic sexual attraction. >> so blood type is a big thing. so apparently you should probably put your blood type on tinder rather than your pronouns or that you like the us office and don't like jordan peterson or whatever. it's so ridiculous. anyway, put your blood type on there. the other thing is, if you sweat, it's how much you sweat when you first meet the person in the first couple of minutes. so for me, it's great

if you sweat a lot on a first date, that's ideal. as long as they're also sweating. but is that true? prince andrew going to generate sexual attraction? >> i mean, i, i have got, hydro dewberry whatsit, which means i overi dewberry whatsit, which means i over i over sweat and some you may even notice it sometimes on it . i have never found that it. i have never found that attractive in myself and i definitely never witnessed anyone else because you've never found any sweat as much. >> but if they did, they would be your ideal. if i just. >> all i need to meet is someone as sweaty as me. i mean, they keep looking into this stuff. yeah, for me personally, if someone fancies me, i don't ask why. let's not ruin the moment. >> yeah, you don't stop and be like, wait, before we kiss. what's your blood type? and you sweat a lot. weirdly. the other thing is, if you both hate the same people. so it's pretty. me and leo aren't gay because we. we've got the mirror now with a story about some old cheese. nick. oh, you want to do the cheese? one, too? yeah. okay. so this is. i totally have this one. it's a man issued health warning. after using same block of parmesan cheese for ten years. and weirdly, it wasn't louis schaefer. it was, some

bloke. and of course, it was a bloke. and of course, it was a bloke trying to get value out of his cheese. and anyway, he kept it for ten years. some say that's too long. haters are saying that's a bit too long. others are saying, well, you know, this cheese is kept for a year before it's even, sold. and, you know, it's meant to be old. it's maybe just not meant to be that old. yeah. ten years seems excessive for a lump of cheese. and also, how does he if he's using it? i know it's parmesan. and you use it quite sparingly, but how is he managed to use it consistently for ten years and it's still there. it can't be very big. the cheese was an entire wheel. >> well , exactly. it must have >> well, exactly. it must have been massive. the cheese world is full of contradictions, though, isn't it? we we've we have said this and we i mean, it's supposed to be mature, but if it's got mould on it, don't eat it. i mean, what, it's gone off milk anyway. just if it tastes yummy, stick it in. >> if it is yummy, stick it in. that's not good advice. and finally, the sun with a bank scandal . this time it's a sperm scandal. this time it's a sperm bank pole. >> it is indeed extraordinary story of the world's most dangerous sperm donor, who fathered a thousand kids across

20 countries, you may have seen this. actually, i don't know if you have, but there was there was a documentary, a netflix documentary called the man with a thousand kids. jonathan jacob, mia, i think is how you pronounce his surname. sorry if it's not. i mean, i say sorry, it's not. i mean, i say sorry, it's not. i mean, i say sorry, it's not because he's got lots of descendants out there who could who could tweet me, and obviously, this is a huge problem. we've covered stories. he's covered this story before. we covered similar stories. and this is sort of a story piece about, a lesbian couple, by the looks of it, who have got have got a child. and that's going to come as a surprise to some of our viewers. >> but, what are you saying about a great view? >> i've seen , i've seen films >> i've seen, i've seen films where i reckon it. >> yeah, exactly. yeah. but, the, the idea is that they suddenly realised that this , suddenly realised that this, this father figure has fathered their daughter through the sperm doning. yeah. >> and the issue is that, like, if you've got all these, offspring of this guy running around, they don't know, you know, if they have the same blood type and they sweat a lot, then they could meet and then inbreeding, especially if you hate the same people as well. don't go anywhere near them.

you're probably brothers . well, you're probably brothers. well, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at monday's front pages . the times monday's front pages. the times leads with french right wing humiliates macron. the daily mail has don't lock in labour for a generation . the telegraph for a generation. the telegraph has le pen. i have wiped out macron. the guardian leads with laboun macron. the guardian leads with labour. can stem populist threat by improving lives, says starmer. the express has cami . starmer. the express has cami. my starmer. the express has cami. my heart breaks when tories turn to reform. and finally, the daily star has yea, jude and those were front pages and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest paul cox and nick dixon. simon evans will be here tomorrow at 11 pm. with steve n allen and josh howie. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. goodbye fun show a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening and welcome to

your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, a changeable week ahead with some rain and showers. plenty of dry weather around too though . for today around too though. for today though, we've got a frontal system clearing its way southeastwards, allowing a ridge of high pressure to build, bringing a fairly settled evening notice. the winds coming from a north westerly direction though, meaning things are going to be feeling a little bit cooler. a change on the way into this evening though, as we see outbreaks of rain move their way into western and northwestern parts of the uk. but on the whole, overnight plenty of dry weather around a mix of cloud and clear spells . and under and clear spells. and under those clear spells it will feel a little bit cooler. but most towns and cities remaining in the double digits an unsettled picture as we head into sunday, particularly across northern areas, as we'll continue to see those outbreaks of rain edge their way into eastern parts of scotland. so fairly damp in the west. a few drier spells before that rain moves in. in the east, quite a damp start to across northern ireland. northwestern parts of england, but once again

in the far east around yorkshire for example, fairly dry, with some bright sunshine to start and similar across the south and southeast. a mix of cloud but also some bright sunny spells to start the day on monday. generally though, it is going to be quite an unsettled picture. outbreaks of rain spreading their way eastwards across the country, a little bit heavy at times across hills in scotland. generally, though later on across wales and the south and southeast. a bit of cloud around but some sunshine breaking through, particularly across southern parts of wales and devon and cornwall. a bit cloudier in the southeast, but that's where we'll see the best of the temperatures. highs of around 21 celsius for tuesday. another north south split with some showers and some longer spells of rain feeding into the north—west and later on into northern parts of england and northern parts of england and northern wales, and across the south and southeast . that's south and southeast. that's where we'll have the driest of the weather again, and the best of the temperatures turning windier from midweek. but plenty of dry weather around too. bye for now . for now. >> that warm feeling inside from
